Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Heavy Murderous Look
As previously planned, Gu Fan, Su Hui and their group arrived at a warehouse near the dock. This place had initially served as Lin Xi and Du Jun’s base, and the location for dealing with the demon.
Initially, Lin Xi was happy to see Gu Fan and Su Hui, but upon seeing Lu Yi and his team, her brows suddenly frowned.
Looking at Lin Xi’s expression, Lu Yi was unhappy: "What’s the meaning of this, Lin Xi? Are you worried that we’ll hold you back?"
"No, that’s not it..." Lin Xi hurriedly explained: "I’m glad you could come. Why don’t you guys stay in the safehouse and cheer us on? I believe that with your moral support, we’ll surely be victorious."
Immediately, Lu Yi refuted: "Are you looking down on us, thinking we’re only a fifth-grade combat squad? Don’t forget, it was me who helped you pass that test by passing you a cheat sheet. Otherwise, you’d have failed."
These two issues were totally different, yet Lu Yi insisted on linking them to embarrass Lin Xi, almost making her roll her eyes.
Su Hui couldn’t resist but interject: "Enough, enough, stop quarreling. You guys go to the safehouse first. Consider yourselves our backup team. If we’re really struggling, then you can jump in."
"I...you...hmm!" Lu Yi, along with Jie, Xu Haowen felt slighted. They were indignant, but swallowed their protests and entered the safehouse, only to find Qin Jia, who had been similarly ushered in.
Upon seeing everyone arrive, Luo Jingrong pulled out his blueprint, and Gu Fan also took out two blueprints. Everyone joined the three blueprints together and began studying them on the table.
If Luo Jingrong’s blueprint was a major part of the potion-making pattern and Lin Xi’s was a minor part, complete with sacrificial mantras, the array, and requirements, then the blueprint given by Yuan Cheng was a map, seemingly of a certain location.
When the three blueprints were combined, the compass-like image in the middle became much clearer. But the blueprint’s true form probably wouldn’t be revealed until the fourth piece was obtained.
Su Hui expressed her concerns: "Are you sure that demon will come?"
In response, Luo Jingrong nodded: "Don’t worry. I noticed someone had been following me when I arrived, and then Lin Xi came. Finally, it was you all. Word of our gathering will quickly reach the demon’s ears."
"I hope so!" Su Hui was still worried: "Ordinary weapons have no effect on that demon. What are you planning to use against it? You’re not going to attack it barehanded, are you?"
Lin Xi became serious: "Of course not. My supernatural powers have mostly recovered. As long as you create opportunities for me, I can immobilize the demon. To be honest, we have a very high chance of victory. Moreover, our gear is also tailored to fight the demon."
At Lin Xi’s signal, some people brought over a set of equipment - stun guns and similar items. The intent was clear - if physical weapons were useless, then they would resort to electric attacks.
"Give me more, I’m the primary attack force," Su Hui said, already picking up a stun gun and stun baton, her eyes deadly serious.
Everyone knew Su Hui had the best skills in the room, so they let her have her pick. Next was Gu Fan, who also picked up quite a few handy items. Even if he couldn’t defeat the demon, he could at least protect himself.
The warehouse was full of Lin Xi’s people, specifically people from the ancient town. To Gu Fan, this seemed somewhat strange. He remembered them being enemies last time in the outer territory. But now, they were banding together to counter the biggest threat.
Seeing Gu Fan’s curious gaze, Lin Xi couldn’t help questioning him: "What’s wrong? Are you finding it strange to cooperate with us? I remember you were the one who insisted on drawing a clear line between us, but now you’re over here seeking our cooperation."
In response, Gu Fan waved his finger: "I wasn’t the one who sought you out for cooperation. The moment you entrusted the blueprints to me, it became inevitable that we would have to face the demon together."
Lin Xi immediately retorted: "No, you got involved because you decided to help Sister Su with her investigation. Don’t put the blame on me."
Gu Fan scoffed: "If you guys hadn’t caused so much trouble, Sister Su wouldn’t have been dragged into this with me. She would’ve never accompanied me to the outer territory, which has put me in her debt. So in order to repay Sister Su, I got involved in this mess. In the end, it’s your fault."
Lin Xi was not convinced: "Cut it out. If you hadn’t pursued me back then, you wouldn’t have gotten mixed up in this. I didn’t force you to chase after me."
"Damn it, she’s really good at turning the tables," Gu Fan thought, secretly grinding his teeth but refusing to back down: "When I was chasing you, you never mentioned your complicated background. If I had known that your complex background would cause so much trouble, I might not have pursued you."
Lin Xi looked at Gu Fan disdainfully: "Firstly, when we got together, I hadn’t regained my previous life’s memories. Secondly, when you were pursuing me, you used sneaky tricks to win me over. Don’t think I don’t know about your ’lost meal card’ ruse. Yeah, you ’lost’ your meal card and then asked to borrow mine. That was your way of getting to know me. You never lost your meal card. You’re such a liar."
"You... you..." Gu Fan was so stunned, he couldn’t respond, while Lin Xi had an air of triumphant victory.
Su Hui quickly intervened: "Let it go, Gu Fan. We have a common enemy, remember? Gentlemen don’t fight with ladies. Besides, I can tell that you can’t win against Lin Xi anyway."
"Damn it!" What could Gu Fan do? He swallowed his anger. He’d never noticed this facet of Lin Xi before.
Gu Fan and Lin Xi’s dispute had utterly dumbfounded those who were watching.
At that moment, inside the safehouse, after watching Gu Fan and Lin Xi, Lu Yi, Jie, Xu Haowen, and Qin Jia all felt rather odd. Lu Yi was the first to speak: "Don’t you guys think these two are like a bickering couple?"
Qin Jia nodded: "Ever since I saw them arguing on campus last time, I felt there was something unusual about those two. Seems like I’m not the only one who thinks so."
Xu Haowen added: "I know that Gu Fan is still very much in love with the old Lin Xi, but the question is, does the current Lin Xi still have feelings for Gu Fan? Qin Jia, you’ve been hanging around with Lin Xi a lot lately. Did you try to find out?"
In response, Qin Jia shook her head: "I’ve spent some time with Lin Xi and I can never figure her out. Every time I bring up Gu Fan, she either remains silent or changes the subject."
"There’s definitely something up," Lu Yi said thoughtfully. "After Lin Xi regained her past life’s memories, does she no longer have any feelings for Gu Fan?"
Just then, a strange and terrifying presence emanating a murderous look began to creep into the warehouse from outside. Everyone tensed up immediately, realizing that the demon had arrived.
