Chapter 86: Do you know why I didn't kill you?

Li Xiucheng raised his head and said proudly, "It used to be fifteen train coins, but yesterday we had a big fight with those bastards from Order, and we killed a lot of them. Now, it's gotta be at least twenty."

Qi Xiao's mouth twitched as he looked at Li Xiucheng's proud expression.

"That's all? You really are worth nothing."

"What about the others? How much are their bounties?"

"Li Zailong's bounty is one hundred and ten train coins, Liu Xiaozhen's is thirty, and if I remember correctly, Yin Fatty's is also thirty."

Qi Xiao clicked his tongue.

"They're worth more dead than you are. You might as well just die."

Seeing that Qi Xiao was about to make a move again, Li Xiucheng quickly shouted, "No, no, no! Big brother, I also posted a wanted notice on a bounty platform! As long as I cancel the notice, I can get back the fifty train coins I paid in advance! I'll give them all to you then! If I die, I won't be able to get them back!"

Hearing this, Qi Xiao became interested.

"There's a bounty platform that can issue wanted notices?"

"Well, some tasks aren't convenient to do yourself, so you pay bounty hunters."

"With your pathetic appearance, your own bounty is only a dozen train coins. How could you bear to spend fifty to put a bounty on someone else? Who did you put a bounty on? Someone from Order?"

Li Xiucheng seemed to recall some unpleasant memory, gritting his teeth as he said, "She's a slut! That slut promised to be my girlfriend if I tattooed her name on my face."

"But after I got the tattoo, I found out she had over a dozen boyfriends like that! There was even a Goblin!"

"She even frequently organized them to fight in group brawls, and the key is that I never participated once!"

Qi Xiao: ...

Xi Jian: ...

Just then, the connecting door between the carriages opened, and Li Huizi entered.

She was still a bit weak at the moment, her steps a little unsteady.

Leaning against the wall, she looked at Li Xiucheng with red eyes, anger making her body tremble slightly.

Seeing Li Huizi's weak state, Xi Jian quickly stepped forward to support her.

"あなたたちはIのolder brotherをmurderした!"

Qi Xiao looked at Xi Jian, "What did she say?"

"She said they killed her brother."

Li Huizi held up the spectacle frame in her hand.

"She said this spectacle frame belongs to her brother."

"Ask her how she's sure this spectacle frame is her brother's. What if it's just the same model?"

After Xi Jian translated, Li Huizi pointed her finger to the inside of the temple of the glasses.

Qi Xiao followed Li Huizi's finger and saw three inconspicuous English symbols there.

LDS.

It was indeed easy to overlook if one didn't observe carefully.

"She said Li Diansheng is her half-brother. When her brother went abroad, Hui Hui gave him these glasses."

"Because they were custom-made and had the initials of her brother's name in pinyin, there's no mistake."

Only then did Qi Xiao realize that the Glasses Brother's name was Li Diansheng.

Li Xiucheng was instantly dumbfounded upon hearing this; this was a fated encounter with an enemy.

How could this world be so small? They snatched a Train, and it turned out to be her brother's.

Li Xiucheng, filled with a strong will to survive, repeatedly banged his head against the carriage floor, crying out, "Wait! Wait! Li Zailong and them killed your brother, I didn't participate, I didn't participate!"

"I just got on the Train with them after they snatched it. The murder and Train snatching have nothing to do with me!"

Qi Xiao pressed the muzzle of his gun against Li Xiucheng's head.

"You say you didn't participate, so you didn't? How do you prove it?"

"Her brother was so fierce, and look at me, what help could I have been?"

Qi Xiao thought about it; what he said seemed to make sense.

The agitated Li Huizi couldn't care less and stepped forward to slap Li Xiucheng hard, then tried to grab the gun from Qi Xiao's hand. She said she wanted to personally avenge her brother.

Qi Xiao sighed, seeing her like this, and put away his gun, saying, "You can kill him anytime. The most urgent task now is to confirm whether your brother is truly dead or not."

"Do you have your brother added as a friend?"

Li Huizi froze upon hearing this.

...

The group came to the black Train, which now only had its initial carriage remaining, and Li Xiucheng was also dragged along by Qi Xiao.

Everyone watched as Li Huizi logged into her account.

【Chief No. 00855259 Li Huizi, logged in.】

Her fingers trembled slightly as she clicked into the Chief chat room and opened her friend list.

Qi Xiao also leaned closer for the final confirmation.

After seeing the avatar, Qi Xiao sighed; it was indeed the Glasses Brother he had fought the Zombie King with in Dawn City.

Qi Xiao stroked his chin and slowly spoke.

"I remember if a person dies, their avatar shouldn't be gray; they should disappear from the list, right?"

He glanced at Li Xiucheng.

"Isn't that right?"

The boy reacted quickly when he saw Qi Xiao's gaze and quickly echoed, "Yes! Yes! If they die, they disappear from the list! Gray means they're not dead yet!"

"I remember now, your brother was just left behind in You'erdan. Who knows, maybe someone else saved him, that's possible."

"Maybe your brother is already fine!"

Qi Xiao also comforted her, "Actually, I've met your brother. We fought zombies together, and he even lent me clothes to wear."

When Li Huizi heard that Qi Xiao had met her brother before, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Your brother is a really good person. As the saying goes, good deeds are rewarded. Besides, he seemed quite resilient in my impression, so he should be fine."

"I have someone in Order Heavenly Kingdom. When we get to You'erdan, I'll make sure to inquire about him."

Qi Xiao looked at Li Huizi, his gaze firm.

Feeling comforted, Li Huizi relaxed, her body went limp, and she fainted again.

Xi Jian held Li Huizi, puzzled, "She just woke up, why is she fainting again?"

"Maybe she lost too much blood. What do you usually eat when you lose a lot of blood? We'll get some for her to recover later."

When Li Xiucheng heard Qi Xiao say he had someone in Order, he seemed to remember something.

"You, you're Order's specially recruited newcomer this year?"

"That's right, you got it, but there's no reward."

Li Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief, nodding with a sense of loss.

"No wonder, no wonder you had the ability to take down Li Zailong. So that's how it is."

Xi Jian took Li Huizi back to her own bedroom, leaving only Qi Xiao and Li Xiucheng in the carriage.

Qi Xiao glanced through the Train window at Old Six, who was still busy outside, and said to Li Xiucheng with his back to him, "I only know that dead people are directly removed from the chat room, and a gray avatar means they're not on the Train, temporarily offline."

"As for whether someone disappears from the friend list after they die, I actually don't know."

Li Xiucheng swallowed hard.

Qi Xiao turned around and looked at him.

"Do you know why I'm not killing you?"

"Uh, because you're kind?"

Qi Xiao smiled, squatted in front of Li Xiucheng, and raised his hand to pat his face.

"Because you're a soft-mouthed kid; you tell me whatever I ask."
