Chapter 800: General Xiang, Aren’t You Going to Do It?
A chill ran down Xue Xi’s spine.
The fat man in front could be seen clearly enough at first, but she seemed to have forgotten his face in the blink of an eye. He looked like an ordinary person, but she could not see what this person looked like.
He was clearly here.
But how did he appear behind her silently?
Xue Xi did not understand, but she knew that this was definitely the most dangerous moment.
Almost instinctively, she took a step to the side and stood in front of Xiang Huai. “This person is dangerous. Retreat.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
He stood at the side calmly and stared ahead. He looked like he had yet to come to his senses, but he also seemed to be smiling. However, he did not speak.
The fat man in front of her also smiled. “Xue Xi, you’re too naive. Don’t you know? The man beside you doesn’t need your protection at all!”
Xue Xi frowned.
The fat man continued, “Think about it carefully. Are you really very important to him? He only looked for you because of your special power. If you didn’t have this special power, would he have taken a fancy to you?”
Xue Xi said coldly, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
The fat man suddenly said, “General Xiang, why aren’t you attacking?!”
The moment he said this, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Xue Xi stood there and did not move. She did not even look back.
“…”
After some time, Xue Xi slowly said, “It’s my dream. Don’t think of controlling the person I imagined.”
The fat man: “…”
He chuckled. “As expected, you know about it. But I’m very curious. When did you realize that I’ve actually entered your dream?”
Xue Xi said, “Ever since we entered the first floor and saw that there was no one around. The special department has never been ostentatious. Most of them keep a low profile, just so that ordinary people won’t know of the existence of espers. Lu Chao wants to capture a dream walker, not a murderer. You shouldn’t be too dangerous, so they won’t empty the mall.”
The fat man shook his head. “I didn’t expect you to be so clear-headed in your dream. That’s right. The moment you entered the mall, I was already in your dream. Other than me, everything here is just your imagination.”
After saying that, he looked at Xiang Huai, who was behind Xue Xi.
At this moment, because of Xue Xi’s calmness and alertness, everyone in the mall was in a state of stillness, as though time had stopped.
Xiang Huai, who was standing behind Xue Xi, did not move. He stood there as though he was no longer breathing and had become a tool.
The fat man shot him a glance before turning to look at Xue Xi. “I didn’t expect you to trust him so much in your dream. When I first invade them, anyone would have hesitated, but I didn’t expect you to leave your back to someone else without even turning around.”
Xue Xi did not speak.
The fat man sighed again. “Let me give you a friendly warning. There is no absolute trust in the world of espers.”
“…”
Xue Xi did not understand this, but she knew that the fat man was definitely trying to drive a wedge between her and Xiang Huai. She was not interested in these things and only said coldly, “You spent so much effort to enter my dream just to say this nonsense?”
The fat man shook his head and looked at the cafe and Lego store beside him. He expected better from her and said, “You’re actually so obsessed with learning. In your dream, the books in the library are actually these types. The Lego pieces are also in this shape, but your superpower is to learn other people’s superpowers, not for you to study so much!”
Xue Xi: “…”
She lowered her eyes. “So, what exactly do you want to say?”
The fat man sighed and casually sat down on the lounge chair. He crossed his legs and said, “I came to look for you because I know that you’ve discovered the secret of the orphanage. I wanted to talk to you about joining our mysterious organization.”
Xue Xi sneered. “Not interested.”
The fat man waved his hand. “You haven’t heard of our mysterious organization’s name yet. It’s not good for you to reject me like this, right? Or are you afraid to even hear the name?”
Name?
Xue Xi suddenly recalled that when she mentioned the mysterious dark organization, Jing Fei had said that even the name of that organization was bewitching.
Hence, the members who had been with the special department for less than a year and were below P9 would not hear it mentioned. They were afraid that the espers in the special department would be bewitched by the mysterious organization’s name and do something wrong.
A name that was so bewitching.
Xue Xi was indeed curious.
She asked, “What is the name of your mysterious organization?”
