After being able to communicate, the girl named Hiri relaxed a little, but she still looked at Fangzheng with a hint of fear in her eyes. However, Fangzheng didn't care about that. Considering how the lasses were concerned about the woman's situation, he got Emma to gather the others. At that moment, the girls gathered around Ciri as they stared curiously at her.
Perhaps because she rarely received so much attention, Hiri felt a little uncomfortable. But because almost all the girls in front of her were younger than her, she didn't feel too awkward. After everyone took their seats, Fangzheng looked at Hiri and said, "I'm sorry if I startled you.
That's the observation room …. Well, we're not going to imprison you, we just want to observe you. "
"Observe …. Observe?"
Upon hearing this, Ciri instantly tensed up.
"What do you want to observe me for?"
"It's very simple. Your intentions, whether you carry pathogens from other worlds on you, things like that …"
Fangzheng spread his hands and explained. Hiri's eyes widened when she heard his explanation.
"How do you know I'm from another world?"
"It's simple, miss. You don't look like a local from your clothes, not to mention …."
As he spoke, Fangzheng pointed to the portal behind Hiri.
"According to the girls, you came out from that portal. That's the portal we use to travel to other worlds. Since the portal wasn't activated, it's very likely that you're from another world …. Is that right?"
"Can you travel to other worlds too?!"
Hiri almost rushed over and grabbed Fangzheng's collar, but when she noticed the girls' gazes, she hurriedly put her hand down.
"Of course."
The girls nodded in response to Hiri's question.
"Mr. Fangzheng often opens portals to take us to other worlds for adventures."
"But the previous world seemed to be in danger, so Mr. Fangzheng didn't let us go."
"Is, is that so …"
Hearing the girls' answers, Ciri's expression was a little complicated. She looked at Fangzheng, then at the other girls. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say ….
"Next, it's my turn to ask a question. Miss Hiri, how did you transmigrate? Could it be that you accidentally activated some ancient relic's mechanism and were teleported here? "
"No, this …"
Facing Fangzheng's question, Ciri seemed a little hesitant, but in the end, she sighed.
"To tell you the truth, I … I had no choice but to escape."
"Escape?"
According to Hiri, she was being chased by a powerful force. In order to avoid implicating her family and friends, she chose to escape. However, no matter where she escaped to, the other party would follow her closely like a shadow. It was during this process that she did not know what went wrong, but she ended up here.
Fangzheng could naturally feel that Hiri's words were a little untrue. Of course, the whole story could still stand up to scrutiny. Moreover, when she first transmigrated, she was indeed quite tired, hungry, cold, and injured, which matched her experience of being chased. It was just that some parts were slightly blurred out. Most people wouldn't notice it, but Fangzheng naturally wouldn't miss this part of the story.
For example, Hiri said that she was being targeted by a powerful force. What was the reason? To make a powerful force chase you for thousands of kilometers without rest, that was no ordinary hatred. Even a criminal of the imperial court wouldn't receive such treatment.
If this was in a wuxia novel, it would either be the protagonist obtaining some secret martial arts manual or treasure map, or killing someone he shouldn't have killed. Looking at the murderous look on this white-haired witch's face, it was obvious that she was quite a vicious person. But Fangzheng had already scanned her before, so he could confirm that Hiri didn't have anything special on her.
It seemed that it wasn't for treasures.
But since Hiri didn't say anything, Fangzheng didn't need to ask. She was a fugitive. If she wasn't careful, she would have been sold long ago and wouldn't have been able to escape to this place. So although Hiri hid some information, Fangzheng didn't have any intention of inquiring about it.
But just because Fangzheng didn't have any information, it didn't mean that others didn't.
"How pitiful …"
After listening to Hiri's experience, the other girls were filled with righteous indignation. Then, Laura's eyes lit up and she looked at Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, why don't we help Miss Hiri? As a knight, we can't ignore evil in front of us! "
"Yeah, big brother, let's go help her. I also want to see how big that force is. They sent so many people to bully a girl. How shameless!"
At this moment, Ling also raised his small fist and shouted, then looked around.
"Don't you guys agree?"
"Yes yes yes!!!"
Hearing Ling's question, the girls immediately nodded, expressing their willingness to help Hiri. No matter how powerful the enemy was, they wouldn't be frightened. If they could help Hiri, they wouldn't hesitate to go through fire and water, climb a mountain of swords and plunge into a sea of flames.
As for Fangzheng …
"You guys just want to find an excuse to go to another world for an adventure, right?"
Fangzheng rolled his eyes in exasperation as he looked at the young girls who had made up their minds. When they heard his words, the girls immediately shut their mouths, as though they had been seen through. "I knew all of you were up to no good. Even if Ciri is really pitiful, you have only met her for less than half an hour and listened to her story. Do you plan on risking your lives to help her after hearing her story that was hard to discern?
If that's the case, these girls would have been sold long ago.
"… If you want to go, it's not impossible."
Fangzheng thought for a moment, then looked at the girls' expectant eyes and said.
"But there's a condition."
"Condition?"
"That's right. You have to wait for Ling and Chiya to finish their homework. If Miss Hiri returns to her own world before they finish their homework, or if something happens to her, then don't even think about it."
With that said, Fangzheng looked at Ling, Tida, Tio, and Chiya.
"You can also entrust other people with tasks. Whether it's to find materials or negotiate, you can leave it to them. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"This …"
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Tida looked at Ling anxiously, and the latter nodded hard.
"No problem, big brother. Don't worry, leave it to us. We promise to finish it on time!!"
"Don't make any mistakes."
Fangzheng said casually, then clapped his hands.
"Okay, that's all for now. You guys should go back to class. Leave this to me."
"Mr. Fangzheng, can we ask Miss Hiri some things after that?"
This time, Elfin raised his hand.
"I'm very interested in the world she lives in."
"As long as it doesn't involve her privacy or make her unhappy, it's fine."
After hearing Fangzheng's words, the girls cheered, then scattered like birds and beasts. Only Hiri sat there blankly, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, Miss Hiri, please come with me. I'll arrange a place for you to stay."
As he spoke, Fangzheng stood up and made a gesture to Hiri. Only then did the white-haired girl suddenly come back to her senses. She stared at Fangzheng with wide eyes in surprise. Then, she stood up in panic and waved her hand at Fangzheng.
"Erm … Sir, you don't have to do this. That's my problem. Those people are very cruel and dangerous. They're cruel people who will even kill the elderly and children mercilessly. This … "
"Hahaha, okay, Miss Hiri, let's not talk about this."
However, before Ciri could finish, Fangzheng interrupted her with a chuckle.
"As you can see, those little guys are just looking for an excuse. The world they went to before … Hmm, there was some trouble. For safety's sake, I forbade them from going to another world again. So they've been very depressed in this world. Now that there's such an opportunity, they naturally won't let it go. "
"But my enemy is just as dangerous …"
"Erm … I think you're mistaken about something, Miss."
Hearing Hiri's words, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Indeed. Perhaps in your eyes, they're just a bunch of innocent and cute little girls, but in fact, I can guarantee that many of them are battle-hardened warriors. Their adventuring experience is probably no less than yours. Of course, I also promise you that if it's really dangerous, I'll take care of them … So you don't have to worry too much about it. The little guys said they wanted to help you, but it's more of an excuse to satisfy their curiosity. If the enemy is really dangerous, it'll be a good lesson for them. "
"… Is … is that so?"
Hiri couldn't quite understand Fangzheng's words, but Fangzheng just chuckled.
"Of course, every world has its own rules and order. I don't know what common sense is in your world, but there may be things in this world that your common sense can't explain … Hmm, in short, please come with me."
As he spoke, Fangzheng turned around and made an inviting gesture to Hiri. Hiri looked at his gesture, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Then, Fangzheng turned around and left the room with Hiri.
