He Xing looked at her with admiration. “When we arrived, you had just taken out your submachine gun.”
They had already been here for quite some time. In that case, Mu Chen was really a good-for-nothing! He even shamelessly boasted that He Xing and Xia Ju would not be able to return home for a while, but reality proved that he could not even delay them for half an hour. However, Du Yue was not surprised. If Mu Chen was really capable, he would not be sitting there dead.
Xia Ju’s eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. In the end, she could not hold it in any longer. “Can you think of a way to let us in first? You two can talk later.”
“I almost forgot.” Du Yue looked at the hole under her feet and did not waste time looking for the switch. She took out a ladder from her space. After placing the ladder in the hole, Xia Ju and He Xing stepped on the ladder and walked to Du Yue’s side.
He Xing’s gaze swept across Mu Chen, and Du Yue asked him, “Have you seen him before?”
He Xing shook his head. “It’s my first time seeing him.”
Du Yue was already used to it. Almost everyone who came from the interstellar said that they knew He Xing, but He Xing had no impression of these people. Xia Ju was the only one who had an impression of He Xing because she was famous in the interstellar. Xia Ju strode forward and stood in front of Mu Chen’s corpse, deep in thought.
She was not looking at Mu Chen but at the chair that he was sitting on and the huge equipment behind him. When they were at the door, Du Yue saw it clearly. The laser that destroyed the bullet was fired from the huge equipment behind him. Xia Ju stared at it for a while before walking toward it. Xia Ju stopped a step away from Mu Chen’s corpse. Mu Chen had already stopped breathing, but his blood-red eyes were still wide open.
Xia Ju had been on the battlefield saving people all year round. She had seen dead people a hundred times uglier than this, so she did not feel the slightest discomfort. She stared at Mu Chen for a while before leaning her body closer to his face. Du Yue turned her head and saw this scene. She gasped in shock. “Did she suffer some kind of trauma?”
He Xing shook his head.” 1 don’t know either.”
The room was not big, and Du Yue’s and He Xing’s voices were not soft either. Xia Ju naturally heard them clearly. She rolled her eyes at the two of them. “Are you secretly badmouthing me again? Who’s traumatized? 1 just want to see if his eyes are his own or if he’s wearing cosmetic contact lenses.”
“So are they his own or cosmetic contact lenses?”
Du Yue asked cooperatively. “They’re real.”
Xia Ju stood up straight and could not help but shake her head. “Red pupils are really ugly. Don’t you think so?”
Du Yue nodded. “They’re ugly, much worse than yours.”
Xia Ju could not help but tease her. “Then, between He Xing and I, whose eyes are more beautiful?”
Du Yue answered decisively, “He Xing, of course.”
Xia Ju pursed her lips. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The two of you are really lovey-dovey.”
Du Yue shook her head slightly. “That’s not right. It’s because his pupils are the same color as mine!”
Xia Ju shook her head repeatedly. “Du Yue, I just realized that you’re really narcissistic.”
After saying that, she turned around and continued to walk forward. She was more interested in the big machine now.
“How did you find this place?” Du Yue asked He Xing.
He Xing reached out and pinched Du Yue’s face, his eyes filled with tenderness. “There were two strangers wandering around the office today. I guessed that something might have happened. So, 1 tied them up and pressed a knife to their throats to force them to tell me.”
Du Yue could not help but give him a thumbs up. “As expected of you!”
Thinking of the words she had left on the wall before she left, Du Yue could not help but laugh. “I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to find me, so I left words on the wall of our house before I left. I thought that if you saw the word Mu, you should be able to guess that 1 was here.”
He Xing looked a little helpless. “You should watch fewer spy movies in the future. If we really followed your plan step by step, you would have killed him before we even found this place. Then, you would come to my office and ask me why I haven’t gotten off work yet.”
Du Yue nodded. “It seems so.”
Although the two of them did not follow Xia Ju, their gazes were fixed on her. They saw her suddenly reach out and pat the big machine with a puzzled expression. “What exactly is this? He Xing, do you know?”
He Xing shook his head. “It’s my first time seeing it too. Take it with you. It might be useful in the future.”
Xia Ju nodded and waved at Du Yue. “Come here quickly.. Put this unexpected gain into your space!”
