Chapter 85: Is the guy with glasses your brother?

The intermediate healing potion had a remarkable effect; Li Huizi's everted flesh began to heal visibly, and her complexion became rosy.

Why did she suddenly come in? She almost disrupted my battle rhythm.

Li Zailong's left arm was apparently chopped off by her. This guy has some skill.

Three minutes later, the horrifying wound had healed, leaving only a red scar.

After confirming that Li Huizi was out of danger, Qi Xiao re-fastened her bra hooks, put on her shirt and stockings, and then carried her out of Six Hotel.

......

At the staircase entrance of the hotel lobby at this moment.

Xi Jian paced back and forth, frantically pulling at her hair.

"No, I still have to go up and see."

With that, Xi Jian was about to go upstairs.

The Chief spread his arms, blocking the stairs.

"Xi Jie, the Chief said to guard here and not let you go up. It's dangerous up there."

"Then why didn't you stop Hui Hui!"

The Chief stammered:

"I, I tried to stop her, but I couldn't."

"I didn't understand what she was saying. I just saw that she was very anxious, and she rushed up with her knife."

"Well, I'm very anxious now too! I have to go up. What if something happens to them?"

"Xi Jie, can you help up there?"

The Chief's single question stumped Xi Jian. He sighed.

"How about this, I'll go up invisibly and take a look. Xi Jie, don't make it too difficult for me."

Just as the Chief turned to go upstairs, Qi Xiao, carrying Li Huizi, suddenly appeared at the staircase entrance.

"Chief!"

Qi Xiao nodded at the excited Chief, signaling that everything was fine.

"Hui Hui!"

Seeing Li Huizi covered in blood, Xi Jian rushed forward.

She wanted to touch Li Huizi's face but didn't dare to act rashly, so her hands just remained stiff there.

"She's not dead, why are you so excited?"

"You don't care about your ally, only about the Xiao Yinghua you've known for two days, right?" Qi Xiao rolled his eyes at Xi Jian. "What, did sleeping with her for two nights make you fall in love?"

"Get lost, you're bouncing around alive, do you need my concern?"

Xi Jian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Li Huizi was fine.

She gently caressed Li Huizi's cheek, calling her name in Sakura language.

"Alright, let's go back first."

In Xi Jian's bedroom, after Qi Xiao placed Li Huizi on her bed, he hurried back to the black Train.

Because Li Zailong was dead, the Train's screen had recovered.

Qi Xiao disassembled all the carriages and transferred the supplies to himself, then breathed a sigh of relief.

【Successfully transferred 2780 kg of metal, 1390 kg of plastic, and 980 kg of wood to Train Conductor Qi Xiao, number 19990526.】

Hmm? Only this much?

So the train coins spent on upgrades aren't refunded.

Qi Xiao shook his head, returned to his Train, confirmed the supplies had arrived, and then came to Xi Jian's place.

Xi Jian had just changed Li Huizi's clothes, taking off the blood-stained uniform and putting on pajamas.

Qi Xiao casually pulled over a chair and sat down, looking at Xi Jian and the Chief.

"Can someone explain to me why she suddenly came up?"

The Chief had already put on his clothes. He lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Chief, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not stopping her."

"No, I'm not asking about that."

Qi Xiao looked at Xi Jian.

"What exactly happened? Don't tell me she came to save me because she was worried."

After tucking Li Huizi in, Xi Jian took out a pair of glasses frames without lenses and handed them to Qi Xiao.

"What does this mean?"

"Didn't you ask me to look through things on that Train? At the time, Hui Hui helped me look through them."

"After finishing the first carriage, I wondered if there might be anything in the engine compartment, so I went in."

"I originally thought there might be some good stuff hidden inside, but I only found a pair of glasses frames in a cabinet under the control panel."

"I thought, 'Is a broken pair of glasses frames really necessary to be stored separately here? Could it be some kind of item?' Then I showed it to Hui Hui, thinking she might be able to figure out its secret."

"Who knew her expression changed when she saw these glasses, and then she inexplicably shouted 'Brother,' and then she picked up her knife and rushed out."

"Brother? What does that mean? Are these glasses his brother's?"

Qi Xiao listened, confused and a little speechless.

He glanced at the still unconscious Li Huizi.

"Never mind, we'll know when she wakes up."

Qi Xiao casually put the glasses frames aside.

"Chief, let's go, time to work."

Qi Xiao took the Chief and left the carriage to clean up the items that had fallen after the Train was disassembled.

"Chief, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I failed to complete the task you assigned."

"No, you did very well." Qi Xiao patted the Chief's head. "Didn't you stop that idiot Xi Jian?"

The Chief scratched his head, unsure what to say.

Qi Xiao picked up a long knife from the ground. Hmm? Isn't this the knife given in Dawn City?

They've been to Dawn City too.

Qi Xiao suddenly shivered, feeling a lightning bolt strike through his mind.

Oh no, no way.

"Chief, you keep moving things. I'll go back for a bit."

Qi Xiao returned to Xi Jian's room again, picking up the broken glasses frames and examining them repeatedly.

The lensless, crooked temple of the glasses brought back Qi Xiao's memories.

That thin, gaunt guy who only used a knife and had a peculiar way of thinking gradually became clear in his memory.

No way.

"You said she shouted 'Brother' after seeing these glasses?"

"Yes, why?"

"Let's go, I'm taking you to interrogate a prisoner."

Qi Xiao brought Xi Jian to the gravity carriage and frowned when he saw Li Xiucheng lying there with a knife still stuck in his leg.

"So much sleep, still not awake."

"Ah, he woke up once, but I knocked him out again."

Qi Xiao looked at the large bump on Li Xiucheng's head and said, sweating:

"Are you sure he's just unconscious and not dead?"

Xi Jian pointed to the knife stuck in his leg.

"Could it be because of this?"

Qi Xiao was speechless. He pulled the knife out of his leg, and Li Xiucheng's eyes widened. He let out a loud cry and woke up.

Qi Xiao pulled out his ZZ Handgun and fired a healing bullet at his wound, stopping the bleeding.

Qi Xiao canceled the five-times gravity, aimed the gun at Li Xiucheng's head, and said coldly:

"What did the new person you killed look like? Tell me."

"Male, wearing glasses, looked not very smart!"

"Thin and gaunt, like he was malnourished." Li Xiucheng saw that Qi Xiao had no reaction, so he continued to add: "That kid's knife skills were pretty good; he even killed two of our men."

Listening to Li Xiucheng's description, Qi Xiao confirmed that the Train they robbed was indeed the Eyeglasses Guy he had encountered earlier in Dawn City.

"So new people deserve to be killed and robbed by you, huh?"

Qi Xiao chuckled and shook his head.

"Is, is there a problem?"

"Then you deserve to be killed by new people too."

Li Xiucheng seemed to suddenly realize something and said in panic:

"You, you're a new person? How is that possible? How could there be a new person who can kill Li Zailong!"

"Do you have any other value that could keep you alive?"

As Qi Xiao spoke, his finger was about to pull the trigger. Li Xiucheng swallowed and shouted:

"Wait, wait! You can't kill me!"

"You promised me! I've already told you all the information!"

Seeing that Qi Xiao was unmoved, Li Xiucheng's will to survive was at its peak. He continued to prove his worth.

"Do you know that there's an organization in the New World called Order Heavenly Kingdom!"

Qi Xiao nodded, signaling him to continue.

Just as Qi Xiao thought he was about to say something about being a member of Order Heavenly Kingdom to scare him, the guy raised his head and said confidently:

"I'm a Wanted Criminal! All of us are Wanted Criminals of the Order Heavenly Kingdom. If you kill me, I won't be worth anything!"

"If you hand me over alive to the Order Heavenly Kingdom, you can get several times more bounty than by killing me!"

Qi Xiao was speechless, looking at Li Xiucheng with disdain.

"The others are fine, but someone like you deserves to be a Wanted Criminal? How much money are you worth?"
