pure white believer

The consultant walked up the stairs lightly, without making a sound, and disappeared on the second floor in a blink of an eye.

The remaining humans in the living room have not yet reacted - who is knocking on the door outside?

Fortunately, everyone didn't speak for the first time.But after a while, the red hair moved, and was ready to open the door again as if careless.Nan Ting hurriedly stopped him and signaled them to hide with his eyes.

It was only then that Hongmao realized belatedly that the outsiders might not be friendly.

"Hurry up and go." Nan Ting mouthed, "I'll deal with them."

The red hair shook his head.

"Go." Nan Ting said again.These humans, especially Fu Cheng, should all be on the wanted list.Once discovered by the patrol team, the consequences would be disastrous.

"But you..."

dong dong dong.

The knock on the door came again, accompanied by the sound of pushing the door.The people outside seemed to force their way in if they didn't open the door.

Nan Ting ignored him and walked straight to the door, not giving the red hair a chance to stop him.

He stepped heavily on purpose so that people outside could hear him, but as expected, the sound of pushing the door stopped, replaced by a human voice: "People inside, open the door."

Nan Ting glanced back, Fu Cheng was still moving patients who could not walk at all in the ward.He could only delay, pretending to be stupid: "Who are you?"

"The patrol team is searching, open the door immediately, and offenders will bear the consequences!" The people outside said coldly.

Nan Ting wanted to reason with him: "But I don't know you, why should I open the door for you?"

"..."

The person outside seemed to curse something, and then kicked heavily on the door.

Nan Ting glanced back again, the others seemed to have hidden away.He took off the coat he had just put on again and put it on his head.It might be silly, but he has to cover his ears.

He opened the door before the opponent kicked the door for the second time.

Seeing the scene outside, Nan Ting's heart immediately rang an alarm.

——It was not one person standing outside, but a whole ten people.

The leader stood at the door, and the other nine stood neatly behind him, each wearing the black uniform of a patrol under the Executive Department.

Ordinary patrols are composed of three or four people. There are as many as ten people like this, and they are emergency mission teams that will only be dispatched after receiving an emergency report.

Why did they suddenly appear here?With so many players?Did you find any clues?

But Nan Ting thought about it again, this is another territory controlled by the rebel army, and it is not unreasonable to send out more people to patrol than usual.

But Nan Ting still had a little ominous premonition in his heart.

The captain of the patrol looked at him coldly, and said for a long time, "Are you a man or a woman?"

"I'm a man." Nan Ting told the truth.

The other party glanced at him again, obviously not believing: "Are you the owner of the house?"

Nan Ting was very uncomfortable, and took a step back: "...well, I am."

While secretly observing the other party, he couldn't help being distracted. Why did Mr. Consultant know that there were people from the patrol team outside?

Just now, his first reaction was actually that the nearby villagers came over, or someone lost their way, so he knocked on their door.First of all, in the area controlled by the rebel army here, the patrol team belonging to the Alien Management Association will not easily come here; secondly, even if they are not villagers or passers-by, the people living in the village are ordinary people, and those who come to patrol should be human. police.

It shouldn't be the group of capable people who are in front of him.

An extremely ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in Nan Ting's mind:

...Could this be the person attracted by the consultant.

Otherwise, why wasn't he surprised at all when he heard someone knock on the door?

Or, why don't you even show a little bit of surprise?

——as if telling everyone clearly that he already knew that someone would come.

As soon as this idea fell, Nanting's back suddenly felt a little cold.

If so, what would be his purpose?

Accidentally exposed whereabouts?But if so, why didn't he tell himself earlier?

Or...he didn't defect at all, and he was cooperating with Chi from the beginning to the end, testing whether he was really wavering?

Perhaps he had already told the base everything, and cooperated with the base to fake the illusion of defection.And now, is the time for them to collect the net and arrest themselves?

But... that's Mr. Consultant.Nanting thought.

How could he do such a thing.

Or, did he simply find this...interesting?

no, I can not.He rejected the idea in his mind.

Only Wen Zhen could do such a thing.

For a moment, Nan Ting's mind was full of thoughts.

He suddenly didn't know the man who would smile at him and say "you're shaken" to him.

However, at the same time, he heard the patrol captain say: "The information records show that the owner of the house here is a woman."

"—Then who are you?"

"I..." Nan Ting was taken aback for a moment, then his tongue fell open, "I am..."

After a long time, he came up with a reason that was more in line with human logic: "I'm a, um, a homeless man. It was raining outside, and I had nowhere to go. Seeing that there was no one in the house, I sneaked in to hide from the rain."

The patrol captain stared at the timid-looking man in front of him.

He didn't know why, but he felt that the way this person spoke was very strange, as if he was reading out every word, every sound was pronounced very clearly, as if... It was like a person who had just learned to speak.

In addition, the words used are also very strange, and they don't look like a normal person.

Bad lie.The patrol captain snorted.

Nan Ting immediately realized that he had failed in lying.

The voice of that person suddenly appeared in his mind for no reason.

The man said, you are not good at lying at all.

...Stop, suddenly think of something else to do at this moment.

Nan Ting shook his head, but the other party thought he had admitted that he had lied: "I think, you should know what we are here for today."

"I advise you not to be clever."

"Actually, I'm a woman." Nan Ting was silent for a while, then changed his words stammeringly.

He paused, as if he felt that his words were not convincing, and picked up a strand of long hair from his ear. "Look, I have long hair." He said, racking his brains to make up a reason, "I just lied to you, I'm sorry. I'm afraid you will see me as a woman, and you will treat me..."

The patrol captain was completely speechless.

He pushed Nan Ting away, turned his head and told the people behind him: "Stop messing with this woman, search!"

Nan Ting staggered a bit after being pushed by him, and took two steps back before he managed to stand still.He frowned, and grabbed the hand that pushed him with his backhand.

The patrol captain shouted, "What are you doing?"

"You can't come to my house." Nan Ting said word by word, "You don't have this right."

The patrol captain laughed: "Where the hell did this idiot come from?"

He wanted to shake off Nan Ting's hand, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to be able to fall in the wind, but his strength was surprisingly strong, and his hand tightly wrapped around his wrist, causing a burst of pain.

"You don't have a search warrant, why did you come to my house?" Nan Ting frowned.

The occupational disease at his former job relapsed, and he couldn't help but want to find loopholes in the other party's work.

The captain of the inspection team said coldly: "I advise you not to be ignorant—I tell you, you are not on our list, and I have no time to argue with you about these trivial matters."

"List?" Nan Ting interrupted him, "What list?"

"Captain, there seems to be no one!" Some team members have already completed the search on the first floor and trotted back to report.

Nan Ting secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Those few humans should have escaped from the backyard.

"Impossible." The patrol captain insisted, "Someone saw him enter here with his own eyes."

Nan Ting's heart tightened.

"Who are you talking about?" he asked.

"Ask this woman, maybe she knows something." Someone said.

"Are you looking for someone?" Nan Ting's eyes turned among several people, "I... live here alone. There is no one else here, and I haven't seen anyone else. May I ask you to leave now?"

The patrol captain stared at him.

"You live alone?" He suddenly asked.

Nan Ting nodded.

The patrol captain sneered, and suddenly stretched out his hand: "—then why are you wearing a man's clothes?"

Nan Ting was taken aback.

He instinctively raised his hand to block it, but it was too late——

The patrol captain yanked his coat off.

"you……"

He originally wanted to say "what are you doing sneakily", but after seeing the person standing in front of him, he froze for a moment.

For a moment, Nan Ting even thought he recognized himself, and found that he was also on the list of defectors.

The base should have known the news and listed him as a defector, wanted by the full committee.

But when the patrol captain opened his mouth, what he said was: "Not a human?"

Nan Ting was stunned.

—the man didn't seem to recognize him.

Isn't he on that list?

How can this be?

The base never shows mercy to defectors.

Seeing him frozen in place, the patrol captain felt more and more that something was wrong.

He recognized the ear of the other party at a glance, it was clearly a mermaid disguised as a human.Why do mermaids appear here late at night?

And from the beginning to the end, he didn't show a single bit of fear?

Shouldn't mermaids be afraid of humans?

The patrol captain stared at Nanting.

After a long time, he threw away the clothes in his hands, and then without warning, he stretched out his hand towards Nan Ting and grabbed his neck.

Nan Ting didn't react in an instant.He has lived a peaceful life for too long recently, sticking to Wen Zhen's side every day, and there is almost nothing to do, but now he has forgotten the instinct of fighting, and his trachea was pinched tightly by the other party, and he couldn't help coughing.

Originally, he just wanted to send this group of people away so as not to reveal his whereabouts, but now, he had to—

"and many more."

Suddenly there were footsteps upstairs.

The patrol captain let go of his hand.

Everyone looked up.

The consultant appeared at the end of the corridor calmly, still wearing the same clothes as when he came.The last drop of rain fell from the corner of the clothes that were about to dry out, and with a "da", it landed on the floor of the first floor.

"Looking for me?" He said lightly, but kept looking at Nan Ting, this time he stopped smiling, "Let go of him first."
