"What do you mean?"
In the subway car, Cheng Sihan looked at β's outstretched hand and asked.
"Let me keep your phone and other communication devices for you for the time being," β laughed. "I'm not targeting you, but you should know that my teacher has always been very cautious. There are many people looking for him now, not just you and your sister, but also some other guys, including those from Greek and Roman mythology. It's never wrong to be careful."
Cheng Sihan frowned, but after a while, she took her hand out of her pocket and handed over her phone. "Don't lose it, there are still a lot of important things stored in my phone."
"Of course." Β agreed, but after she took the phone, she only held it in her hand for less than ten seconds. Then, she stuffed it into the backpack of a shifty-looking man next to her. The man was standing next to an office worker, sneaking his hand into the worker's pocket to grab the latter's wallet. After he succeeded, he immediately moved towards the door of the train. It seemed like he was about to get off the train and transfer to another subway.
Cheng Sihan's eyebrows twitched, and a murderous look flashed in her eyes.
"Do you have any other electronic devices that can record your location or communicate with the outside world?" β asked with a smile.
"No." Cheng Sihan tried to suppress the anger in her heart.
"What about props?"
"Nothing."
"Do you mind if I search your lower body?"
"You'd better not push your luck," Cheng Sihan's eyes darkened.
Β shrugged, looking very innocent.
"Just this once." Half a minute later, Cheng Sihan chose to give in. She stood up straight and signaled β to start.
However, when the latter walked up to her, he didn't immediately put his hand into her pocket and bag. Instead, he walked around her and complimented, "Senior Sister, your body is really good. I really envy your boyfriend."
"Are you trying to test my limits?"
"No, no, no, I'll get to work now." Beta finally began to check Cheng Sihan's belongings. However, her hands were not obedient. From time to time, she would move around Cheng Sihan's body and touch places that she shouldn't touch.
At first, Cheng Sihan's eyes looked like they were about to spit fire, but soon, the anger in her eyes disappeared. She became calm again, and let β touch her body all over. She just watched coldly from the side.
Beta also noticed the change in Wu Sihan's mood, and a look of admiration appeared in her eyes. She finally stopped what she was doing. She then took out two magnetic stones from Cheng Sihan's bag and looked at them. She then took out the silver pocket watch and asked curiously, "Is this the blood oath prop? I'm actually quite curious. If the person who made the blood oath is already dead, will the blood of the corpse still boil after breaking the oath? "
"If you want to know, you can make an oath yourself," Cheng Sihan said lightly.
"And then you'll kill me to verify it?" Beta smiled sweetly, but her smile matched Wang Lirong's wrinkled face. It looked indescribably awkward.
"I don't mind doing you a favor," Cheng Sihan said.
"Unfortunately, I'm not your sister."
"…"
Seeing that Cheng Sihan was silent, β seemed to be very happy. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up your sad past. But look on the bright side. At least you can see the teacher again. If I were you, I would think about how to convince the teacher to save your adoptive father. Or … you can choose to forget about this and ask for some other reward from the teacher."
"Have you always been this talkative?"
"It's a long journey. I thought you'd like someone to talk to you and relieve your boredom."
"I prefer to travel with a mute."
"What a strange hobby. But I guess you'll miss me soon enough."
The subway announcement sounded, reminding the passengers that they had arrived at Jiyutan Station. When the carriage door opened to both sides, the shifty-looking man got off the subway with the other passengers. After that, a new group of passengers got on the train.
Seeing that there was an empty seat, Cheng Sihan grabbed it before a little kid could get on it. After that, she looked at the kid with a smug look on her face.
"Childish." Cheng Sihan snorted.
"I'm just used to having some fun from time to time." Β made a face at the kid, who was so angry that he burst into tears. He buried his face in his mother's lap.
Meanwhile, his mother was still teaching him with a serious look on her face that he should give way to the elderly on the subway.
But now, the culprit had turned her attention back to Cheng Sihan. "Senior Sister, do you know why the teacher chose me instead of you?"
"Didn't you get second place in the first round of the proxy war? Are you going to brag about it all the time? Or are you waiting for me to give you a certificate?" Cheng Sihan sneered.
"It's not just because of my strength," β shook his head. "Of course, since you mentioned it, I'll accept your compliment. But then again, do you really not know why the teacher abandoned you?"
"Tell me."
"You're too obsessed with saving your adoptive father," β said. "That's why you accepted the teacher's invitation and became his agent. For so long, you've been trying your best to imitate the teacher, learning his skills of disguise and deception, and learning his ruthlessness. You tried to look at everything from his point of view and make decisions. You worked with Seth and stirred up the three major guilds. You did a great job, but it wasn't because you really wanted to do it. You just thought it would please the teacher. As far as I know, in the end, the teacher didn't praise you. You're like a pug wagging its tail in front of its master. No matter how hard you tried, you still couldn't get the meat thrown at you by its master. "
Cheng Sihan didn't say anything. She just clenched her fists.
"So, your problem is that you can't really obtain satisfaction and happiness from the pranks and tricks. It's just like how a top student, even if he or she is the top student in every exam, he or she has to memorize the knowledge without a shred of his or her own soul. This is also the biggest difference between us. You're the most stupid and pitiful type of person in my teacher's eyes. Of course, at least you're not as hopeless as your sister. This is also the reason why my teacher sent me to the hospital tonight. If you can let go of the idea of saving your adoptive father and devote yourself to it, you can still be one of us."
