Chapter 462 Getting separated
Bai Yisha stared at the desiccated corpse, whose face was no longer recognizable, and prayed for a while before finally gagging.
Qi Ye mocked her quite a bit.
"Weak chicken."
"My apologies, I've disturbed you greatly." Bai Yisha quickly waved to Sang Biao and the others, "Brother Biao, quickly cover it up."
Sang Biao and the others were also terrified. They quickly bowed three times and then put the lid on together. Bai Yisha also took the opportunity to throw her hairpin in.
Qi Ye noticed that Bai Yisha had thrown something in and couldn't help but ask, "Did you throw a bomb in? My little apprentice has pretty good awareness. It's good that it's blown up."
Bai Yisha's lips twitched.
Ignore it.
In the time that followed, Bai Yisha obediently followed Qi Ye to find other tombs.
After returning all the collectibles, her legs were so weak that she insisted on going back.
But Qi Ye was unhappy about this.
"We've only visited three tombs. What's the difference between this and my last visit? Last time I had something to do, so I didn't continue exploring. Now that we're here, are we just going to leave after we've finished? Are you kidding me?"
Qi Ye had already rolled up his sleeves, but seeing that Bai Yisha was showing signs of backing down, he angrily tied her up again.
Bai Yisha was on the verge of tears.
She's already completed her mission, so what's she doing here?
And this is different from a haunted house... at least in a haunted house, people play NPCs, so there's a safety factor. This is deep in the mountains, full of corpses!
"Qi Xiaojiu, it's dark now, I'm hungry, if we don't go out to eat soon, I'll starve to death."
She turned on her phone screen, which showed that it was already 6:30 pm.
The top right corner still shows "No Signal".
Upon hearing her words, Qi Ye smiled knowingly, took off his schoolbag, took out the dry food inside, and stuffed it into Bai Yisha's hand.
"Eat up, I knew you'd be delicate."
Bai Yisha: "......"
She stared silently at the cold steamed bun in her palm, which was as cold as her heart.
Bai Yisha turned to look at Sang Biao, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Brother Biao, if we don't go back soon, I'm going to get a spanking."
The four men hesitated, their eyes conveying a sense of helplessness as they looked at Bai Yisha.
They were just bodyguards...
However, Sang Biao still braced himself and walked up to Qi Ye, saying to him in a consultative tone, "Mr. Qi, it's getting late, why don't you come another day?"
Qi Ye glanced at Sang Biao, a dangerous glint flashing in his dark blue pupils, and his expression turned cold.
"Who gave you the right to speak?"
Another day? Don't you know how hard it is to come here?
What's the meaning behind Bai Xiaosha seeking help from Sang Biao?
For some reason, Qi Ye felt very unhappy.
Moreover, he said he was bringing her to broaden her horizons, but he didn't specify when.
She said she came here today, just to wander around for a bit, and after finally finding something interesting, she wants to go back?
What's going on?
He said he was coming alone, but he brought four burdens with him. I already disliked him, and now he's asking Sang Biao for help to talk to him?
"Bai Xiaosha, have I been too kind to you?"
Qi Ye grew angrier the more he thought about it. He put his hands on his hips, tilted his head, and stared at Bai Yisha.
Along the way, Sang Biao and the others all knew that Qi Ye had a bad temper and a wicked nature. Apart from talking to Bai Yisha, he basically had nothing to say to them.
At this, Sang Biao and the others remained silent.
Bai Yisha didn't turn around to look at Qi Ye; she was also thinking.
She did come here on this mission with the intention of using Qi Ye. She was the one who asked Qi Ye about coming here first, and he didn't tell her when he was going back.
Running away after completing a task is really unethical; it's no different from kicking someone after they've served their purpose.
Why don't we let Sang Biao and the others go back first? They are here to protect themselves, and we can't let them come along and risk their lives.
If she goes out with Qi Ye, at the very least, the system will be of some use...
Thinking of this, Bai Yisha turned to Qi Ye and said, "Qi Xiao Jiu, tell Brother Biao and the others..."
Qi Ye seemed to have run out of good temper; the smile on his face vanished completely, and he didn't give Bai Yisha a chance to finish speaking.
He drew the dagger from his waist and slashed at Bai Yisha's waist twice, loosening her ropes.
"I'm not going to serve you anymore. You're acting like I'm begging you to come."
Then he slung his bag over his shoulder, grabbed some essentials, filled the backpack to the brim, paused for a moment, pulled out a piece of paper, threw it on the ground, and turned to leave.
Bai Yisha froze for a few seconds, and seeing Qi Ye's figure almost disappear into the darkness, she subconsciously chased after him: "Hey, hey?? Qi Ye! I didn't mean that, don't run away!"
Bai Yisha just wanted to go back. If they wanted to continue shopping, she could negotiate, but what would happen if they left her behind?
As she chased after Qi Ye, she gently patted her mouth.
You're so tight-lipped! When it's time to speak, you can't say a few extra words!
Sang Biao had just bent down to pick up the paper Qi Ye had thrown over from the ground. He glanced at it briefly and realized it was a hand-drawn map. As soon as he looked up, he knew something was wrong.
"Quickly pack your things and keep up!"
Bai Yisha was in such a hurry that she didn't realize she and Sang Biao and the others had gotten far away.
After putting away all her collection, she had nothing to carry on her back, and now she felt truly light, so she could run faster.
But as she chased after the dark figure, she turned down a stone staircase, circled around twice, and realized she had lost him.
Bai Yisha stopped in her tracks, staring blankly at the pitch-black surroundings.
"Qi, Qi Ye..."
Bai Yisha's eyes were filled with fear and panic, her pupils were slightly dilated, and her lips were trembling slightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress her inner fear.
She was still clutching the steamed bun that Qi Ye had just given her, her knuckles white, as if it could bring her a sense of security.
"Qi Ye, are you here?"
Bai Yisha's body trembled slightly, her breathing rapid and shallow, each breath seeming as a struggle against her inner fear.
No one responded to her.
It was so quiet that not even the sound of dripping water could be heard.
The cave was gloomy and the air was cold and damp. A thin layer of mist rose from the bottom, making it somewhat eerie.
Bai Yisha involuntarily leaned against the wall, as if she had come to the entrance of a new tomb.
But where is this...?
She huddled deep inside the tomb, the stone walls around her covered in dark green moss. The damp air seemed to have solidified into a thick, musty smell, making each breath heavy and difficult for her.
A faint ray of light shone through the hole overhead, but it couldn't penetrate the dark depths; instead, it made the darkness seem even thicker and more oppressive.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you there?"
[Host, I am here.]
Hearing the system's voice, Bai Yisha's panicked heart calmed down a little, and her voice was choked with emotion.
