"I'm your friend," Lin Xian said.
"I don't recall having a friend like you," cc replied casually.
Thunk!
Lin Xian kicked the body on the ground over.
Blood flowed from under the Lycan Cat mask, dripping onto the floor.
Lin Xian stepped back, giving cc a better view.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," he said.
cc remained silent, staring at the body with the Lycan Cat mask, clearly understanding everything.
"You deceived Big-Faced Cat, telling him there was a lot of money and gold bricks in the warehouse," Lin Xian said, circling to the other side of the body to face cc. "When we entered the warehouse, your lies were exposed, and a confrontation between you two was inevitable. Who knows who would have lived and who would have died."
"Now I've solved this big problem for you. Isn't that enough to call me your friend?"
Holding the gun, cc didn't relax at all. "How can I trust you?" she asked.
Lin Xian smiled slightly, slowly raising the gun in his hand and turning it upside down. Then he tossed it far away into the warehouse.
"Is this enough sincerity for you?" he asked. "The next step depends on your sincerity."
Hesitating for a moment, cc also raised her gun and threw it away.
A graceful parabola—
Thunk.
The gun hit a safe in the distance with a muffled sound and fell to the ground.
Click!
A gun was pointed at the back of cc's head as Big-Faced Cat slowly walked out from behind the safe.
"Traitor," cc said coldly, glaring at Lin Xian through the Ultraman mask, disappointment evident in her eyes.
"You're the one who's betrayed!" Big-Faced Cat exploded. "If it wasn't for my brother seeing through your scheme, I would have been dead because of you today!"
He gripped the gun tightly, grinding his teeth. "If my brother hadn't stopped me, I would have shot you dead long ago!"
Lin Xian gestured for Big-Faced Cat to be quiet, then looked at cc seriously.
"Now let me explain the situation again. First, I have no intention of harming you, let alone killing you. I just want to ask you a question and get an answer."
"After getting the answer, the two of us will leave here. You can go wherever you want, tamper with the safe, do whatever you like. We won't interfere with each other."
"And I promise you, I'll help Big-Faced Cat with the money he needs, and the grudge between you two will be settled. We all came here for our own interests, so let's go our separate ways without causing trouble for each other."
...
Lin Xian's conditions were sincere enough.
In this advantageous situation, he promised not to harm cc and even offered to settle Big-Faced Cat's grudge for her, showing utmost benevolence.
And all he asked for in return was a simple answer, which was insignificant.
cc was naturally someone who knew the score.
"What answer do you want?" she asked softly.
Lin Xian pulled back the elastic band from the back of his head and slowly removed the Ultraman mask...
He took a deep breath, looking at cc earnestly.
"Do you know me?"
"No," cc shook her head.
"Or have you seen me before, heard about me, or experienced something related to me after seeing and hearing me? Is there a feeling that makes you treat me differently from others? For example, you could easily kill Big-Faced Cat next to you, but you wouldn't kill me."
Snickers erupted from Big-Faced Cat, who was about to lose it.
He had received professional training and wasn't supposed to burst into laughter at this critical juncture, unless he couldn't help it.
It was like acting in a cheesy romantic TV drama! Too melodramatic!
However...
To their surprise, after hearing Lin Xian's words, cc didn't react at all!
She didn't shake her head decisively like before, nor did she laugh like Big-Faced Cat did, or even change her expression in the slightest!
Nothing, not at all.
At this moment, cc was like a silent piece of wood, her indifferent eyes staring at Lin Xian, without saying a word.
Bingo.
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.
He knew... this time, the question hit the mark.
This cc must have been reminded of something by seeing him. That's why she saved him in the two previous dreams, and no matter how much he struggled, she didn't kill him.
The answer was about to come out!
"Speak!!!!!!"
Big-Faced Cat roared!
However.
A long silence ensued.
cc still didn't speak.
With her lips tightly sealed, she didn't utter a word.
"Do you think this answer is more important than your life?" Lin Xian asked with a sigh.
"Heh..." cc snorted disdainfully, smiling indifferently. "That depends on whether you have the ability to take my life."
"Damn it!!!! You dare to look down on me, Big-Faced Cat! I'll blow your brains out!" Big-Faced Cat couldn't hold back anymore!!
He jumped up!
With force, he pressed the muzzle firmly against cc's temple!
cc slowly raised her hands in surrender, placing them behind her head.
"Big-Faced Cat," she said softly.
"Gah!!!!!" Big-Faced Cat was so angry he was practically incoherent. "Although there's no money in the bank vault, I didn't deceive you. There's something you need in that safe over there."
"Wha... what did you say?"
Big-Faced Cat's pupils contracted instantly, his mind in chaos.
"Is there... something I need in the safe?" cc smiled knowingly, looking at Big-Faced Cat with interest.
In an instant!
Big-Faced Cat had an epiphany!
"An... invitation!" he exclaimed. "You mean! There's an invitation to the Genius Club in that safe!"
cc smiled, saying nothing.
"Don't believe her, Big-Faced Cat!"
Seeing Big-Faced Cat losing control and his brain going into overdrive, Lin Xian hurriedly shouted, "She's still lying to you! She doesn't know what's in the safe herself!"
"Do you dare to gamble?" cc stared at Big-Faced Cat intently. "This is your only chance."
Big-Faced Cat's face turned red, then orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, his forehead dripping with sweat!
He looked at cc, then at Lin Xian, then at the safe.
He had no idea who to believe!
Bang!!!
An earsplitting gunshot!
Big-Faced Cat's head exploded like a watermelon! His body fell stiffly to the ground!
Lin Xian couldn't help but recoil...
cc's long hair fluttered as it fell in the air. The red ribbon that had been tied in her hair slowly fell...
She had another gun in her hand.
She had hidden a gun in her tied-up hair!
Plunk.
Big-Faced Cat's body fell heavily to the ground.
cc raised the gun in her hand, step by step, towards Lin Xian—
"Guess whether I'll kill you or not?"
