In order to avoid being discovered by the Pyro Company, Big Bluff pointed them to the most remote and difficult path. At the beginning, someone in the group even criticized Big Bluff unhappily, "Have you ever been to the outskirts of the Sacred Mountains before? Why do I feel like you don't know the way?"
However, Big Bluff sneered, "Then why don't y 'all let me go? I'll just lead y' all to the outskirts of the Sacred Mountains. Why do you care which path I'm taking? Besides, I'm taking the safest path. You're all experts, and some of you are even supernatural beings. If y 'all encounter the Pyro Company, y' all can just run away. But how am I supposed to run away? I don't want to bump into them. "
At first, Cheng Yu was also a little dissatisfied with this very stubborn guide. But when he realized they really did not encounter any Pyro Company members along the way, he finally started to acknowledge Big Bluff as their guide.
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin's current personas were C-rank hitmen and normal people. Therefore, the two of them had to pretend to be very tired along with Big Bluff as they traversed the mountains.
After all, even some supernatural beings would find it a little difficult to traverse this path, let alone "normal people" like them.
When some of the people in the group saw Ren Xiaosu looking like he was dying of exhaustion, they secretly laughed to themselves. Some of them even hoped he would fall behind.
The one who wanted Ren Xiaosu to fall behind the most was definitely Cheng Yu. When he saw Ren Xiaosu panting and almost unable to walk anymore, he said, "Why don't the two of you turn back? This is not a place for C-rank hitmen to come to. Do you think any other C-rank hitmen would come here to court death? You two are the only C-rank hitmen here, right? "
But at this moment, the young man who asked Ren Xiaosu what he was best at raised his hand and said with a smile, "I'm also a C-rank hitman."
Cheng Yu was speechless.
He glanced at the young man a little unhappily. He saw that the young man was not even panting as he traversed the mountains. He was definitely a supernatural being. Why was a supernatural being like him joining in the fun? Wouldn't it be good for you, me, and everyone else if he persuaded them to leave?
Cheng Yu ignored the young man's words and continued to dissuade Ren Xiaosu. "Our journey has only just begun. I'm afraid it'll be even more dangerous when we enter the Sacred Mountains in six days. Don't think that I'm being harsh. I'm really doing this for your own good. You can barely keep up with the team now, but if you suddenly fall behind when we reach the Sacred Mountain, how will you survive in that dangerous environment? "
Seeing that Ren Xiaosu had suddenly sunk into deep thought, Cheng Yu was elated. He had had enough of this guy's nursery rhymes. If he could persuade this guy to quit, it would be the best thing in this operation.
For the whole morning, Ren Xiaosu's singing made his head buzz!
"Don't you think what I said makes sense?" Cheng Yu said earnestly. "Your stamina …"
However, Ren Xiaosu was moved. "I'm fine. I actually have superpowers too."
Cheng Yu was taken aback. "You're a supernatural being too?"
"I'm not sure if I'm a supernatural being or not." Ren Xiaosu said in seriousness, "But as long as someone sings me a nursery rhyme, I'll immediately regain my stamina."
Ren Xiaosu sneered in his head. Cheng Yu was actually trying to dissuade him?
Alright then, I'll stop pretending and lay my cards on the table. I'm also a supernatural being!
Cheng Yu was speechless. "Who are you trying to fool? Besides, who would be so free to sing nursery rhymes for you? "
Yang Xiaojin said, "Under the bridge in front of the gate, a flock of ducks swam past. Come, come, count them. Two, four, six, seven, eight …"
Ren Xiaosu straightened up and stopped panting. He climbed up the mountain far away, leaving Cheng Yu dumbfounded.
He thought it was no wonder this guy needed a fucking partner. So it turned out that not only did he have to sing nursery rhymes himself, but he also had to get someone else to sing it for him. Their partnership was simply amazing!
However, Cheng Yu also thought to himself, 'This guy is probably a supernatural being to begin with, right? Was he just putting on an act earlier?'
But then again, how many real C-rank combatants would have nothing better to do and come here to die?
Therefore, there was a very high chance that Ren Xiaosu was a supernatural being to begin with!
'But which supernatural being would behave like you? If you're a supernatural being, then so be it. Why are you singing nursery rhymes?
'Even if you're a supernatural being, you're still an abnormal one!'
Along the way, Ren Xiaosu asked Yang Xiaojin, who was next to him, in a low voice, "Are you embarrassed by me doing this?"
Actually, even Ren Xiaosu found it a little embarrassing. He was clearly a rather normal person, yet he still had to sing nursery rhymes every day.
But he had to do this mission. Since he had to do it, he had to do it perfectly.
Ren Xiaosu was not too worried about anything else, but he was mainly worried that Yang Xiaojin's impression of him would worsen.
However, the corners of Yang Xiaojin's mouth curled up slightly. "You're quite cute."
"Is that so?" Ren Xiaosu mulled it over.
Yang Xiaojin asked, "You only have to do all this because you gave me the black sniper rifle, right?"
"Mhm." Ren Xiaosu nodded. "Seven days. This is the price I have to pay for giving you the black sniper rifle."
"Thank you," Yang Xiaojin said solemnly. She felt that Ren Xiaosu was already considered a very powerful supernatural being. Before he gave her the black sniper rifle, he must have known there would be a price to pay for it. However, he still gave it to her.
Most of the feelings in this world were empty words. The feelings of adults were more like a restrained transaction. No one would really do anything for someone else out of their heart.
Some people said that liking someone was reckless, while love was restraint. However, Yang Xiaojin had her own views.
In her opinion, love was reckless, while liking someone was restraint.
Young people did not know what restraint or self-preservation was. That was why they could love recklessly, without any hesitation, and spare no effort.
But adults were different. They liked others, but if they did not get a response, they would leave. If I get close to you, and you take a step back, I'll turn around and leave. This kind of feeling that constantly restrained oneself could not turn into love.
Therefore, there was no love in the world of adults. There was only restrained liking.
Right now, when Yang Xiaojin saw how Ren Xiaosu had no choice but to put down his pride and pretend to be crazy because he had given her his power, she felt a little regretful about accepting the black sniper rifle. She could also feel Ren Xiaosu's sincerity.
Yang Xiaojin said, "From now on, I'll sing with you if you want to sing. I'll accompany you no matter what you do."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that singing nursery rhymes did not seem so shameful anymore.
When they set up camp that night, Cheng Yu looked at the others at the campsite with a numb expression. He did not know if it was due to the influence of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, but someone had actually suggested holding a get-together tonight. Seeing the lively performances of everyone's talents at the campsite, Cheng Yu's assistants next to him felt a little restless.
"What are you going to perform?" Cheng Yu asked his assistant.
"I can whistle …"
"If you want to perform a talent show, your salary for this month will be completely deducted."
"Alright then," the assistant said a little reluctantly. The other three assistants also immediately dismissed the idea of performing a talent show.
