Having confirmed her identity, Anubis's attitude changed instantaneously.
His movements became cautious, his gaze filled with concern and a scarcely noticeable exuberance.
Qiao Suisui steadied herself against the wall, saying, "It seems they plan to blow this place open; we need to hurry and find an exit."
"Mm," Anubis responded softly, his tone complex, "You stay here, don't move; I'll go look."
Unaware that Anubis had recognized her, Qiao Suisui continued to try to play Ellie, "We should go together; it's good to have someone watching your back."
Anubis nodded, then realizing she might not see him clearly, said, "Okay. Grab the hem of my clothes, and follow behind me."
He moved his position carefully, protectively positioning himself in front of her, always paying attention to her movements, while his gaze never left Qiao Suisui.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he carefully examined her from head to toe several times.
