A's actions attracted everyone's attention, and eight pairs of eyes were cast on him at the same time.

After feeling these gazes, he stopped walking, looked at Xu Meir with a particularly complicated expression, then turned around and returned to his seat.

H and J's eyes met in the air, just for a moment, but it seemed as if countless messages were transmitted in this brief eye contact.

Then, H slowly turned his eyes away and looked at A with a hint of amusement and ridicule, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you interested?"

Just as H finished speaking, S next to him seemed to have his sensitive nerves touched and reacted instantly.

His originally calm face suddenly became extremely stern, and his deep eyes emitted a cold and vigilant light.

Without any hesitation, he stood up suddenly, moving quickly and agilely, and walked straight to Xu Meir like a beast protecting its food, shielding her tightly behind him.

A ignored the others and looked in the direction of Xu Meir. When he saw that she looked calm, he slowly said, "No, it's just that she looks a lot like someone I knew before. After taking a closer look, I realized that I recognized the wrong person."

After these words were spoken, S became more alert, because he also had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Xu Meir and wanted to protect her. This A might be the same as him.

He couldn't help but think of No. 1 who had disappeared for a long time. He might be the same as him.

If one or two people are like this, it may be a coincidence, but if the third person is also like this, then there must be a problem!

He glanced at Xu Meir secretly. This No. 5 might have the ability to charm others!

He knows himself too well. He is definitely not an emotional person. Why would he protect No. 5 and make himself enemies with so many people?

Before he had time to think deeply, strong emotions overwhelmed his thoughts. He looked at Xu Meir again, with unshakable emotions in his eyes.

Xu Meir looked up at him and smiled gently.

The five people in the cave continued to eat without saying anything. After eating, they built a fire with the firewood that S had prepared in the cave. After setting up cover and traps outside the cave, they returned to the cave to warm themselves by the fire.

H looked at Xu Meir, who had hardly spoken, and said, "Beautiful lady, it seems that you don't know what your number is yet?"

S's brain was working rapidly. If the number he mentioned happened to be someone these four people had met, then Xu Meir's identity would be exposed. Once they knew that Xu Meir was a criminal, they would definitely not let her go.

At this moment, he heard Xu Meir's voice answer steadily: "C."

C is the person killed by No. 1 before.

"Oh," H nodded and continued, "Then how did you and S meet?"

Seeing that H had no doubts, S couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and replied on behalf of Xu Meier: "It was a coincidence. What about you? How did so many people meet?"

"Oh," H said, "It's just luck. We all happen to be supervisors. It's better to be together than alone."

After hearing H's ambiguous answer, S did not continue asking. It was obvious that no one would tell the truth.

The cave became quiet again.

Next it was time for everyone to take turns to keep watch. H and K were the first group, J and S were the second group, and A and Xu Meir were the last group.

Of course S disagreed with such an arrangement, but H said that S and Xu Meir could not be in the same group, otherwise they would fall asleep, and what would happen if S and Xu Meir conspired to murder them or escaped secretly?

Of course, H's bad taste is also involved in this. A still remembers Xu Meir's reaction when he saw her during the day, and he is looking forward to what will happen when the two of them keep watch together.

S actually knew that it would be better for him and Xu Meir to separate. If he and Xu Meir were in the same group and fell asleep at the same time, he was afraid that the four men would attack them.

Although, among the six of them, probably no one would actually fall asleep.

But as long as he closed his eyes, even if he leaned against the stone wall and pretended to be asleep, he was still at a disadvantage compared to the other two people who could move freely.

In addition, his deep doubts about Xu Meir kept surging in his heart like a tide. Although the emotions hidden deep in his heart told him again and again how inappropriate such doubts were, he was unable to stop them.

After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally suppressed the surging waves of emotion with all his strength and nodded slowly, indicating his agreement with H's proposal. Because if he didn't do this, he might never be able to uncover the truth hidden behind it.

After making the decision, he seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, and his feet involuntarily moved a few steps away from Xu Meir.

Each step seemed so heavy and difficult, as if he was stepping on sharp blades instead of solid ground. As the distance between them gradually widened, his heart sank little by little. However, even so, he gritted his teeth and never looked back.

H leaned against the stone wall, folded his arms across his chest, and watched the scene with interest.

J and K looked in A's direction at the same time, and saw that his expression was calm, no different from before. The excited expression he had before seemed like an illusion to them.

The two of them withdrew their gaze.
