"Li, can you stay with me for a little longer? Just a little while?"

The tone was almost pleading. She was afraid...

She didn't want to stay alone in this empty, cold darkness anymore...

She is really scared...

"This hasn't changed. Are you still as afraid of the dark as before?" Li suddenly realized this and asked her with a slight smile.

Qian Ruozhi nodded: "Yes."

"When she first came here, was she as afraid of the dark as you were?"

Li couldn't help but sigh. Even though the voice was inaudible, Qian Ruozhi still heard it.

"She? The girl you like?"

Li did not deny it and seemed to have fallen into memories: "We are all orphans adopted by Qian's Manor. We were sent to the law enforcement room for harsh training, and then went through various cruel selections before we could be qualified to become dark people."

"You were all adopted by Qianjia?!"

"Yes, she came a year later than me. When she first came, she was very timid. She was afraid of the dark, blood and pain. The instructor was very cruel. She was afraid of the dark, so he locked her in a dark room. She was afraid of blood.

, they forced her to dissect those mice and frogs with her own hands. She was afraid of pain, so they made her undergo fighting training twice as long as others every day, leaving her covered with bruises."

"That instructor is so perverted!~" Qian Ruozhi sniffed, becoming more curious and asked, "What happened next?"

"Two years later, she was not afraid of anything and became the second-best expert in the law enforcement room!"

"The second master? Then who is the first?!"

A narrow smile appeared at the corner of Li's mouth: "What do you think?"

"Uh," Xiaozhi raised a hand to hold her forehead, "Don't tell me, it's you!"

"If this is not the answer you want to hear, then I can only say sorry!"

"cut!"

Qian Ruozhi curled her lips in disdain, this person really doesn't know how to be humble!

At this moment, chatting with Li like a friend, it seems that the fear in his heart is much better...

"Okay, it's time for me to go."

As he spoke, Li reached out and patted her on the head, "There are people in the law enforcement room who regularly inspect the situation. If discovered, the consequences will be serious!"

"Oh." Xiaozhi nodded.

"Are you still afraid?" Li asked gently, as if comforting a little sister.

Xiaozhi shook her head: "It's getting better. I will be like the girl you like. She can overcome it, and so can I."

"Sure enough, you look a bit like the eldest daughter of a thousand families." Li smiled slightly, "Only you worth protecting with our lives!"

Yes, with love, it seems that she has become stronger than before...

Then, a slight moving sound sounded.

Qian Ruozhi knew that Li was leaving...

"Save your strength, that bottle of glucose can only maintain your strength for a short time!"

At the last second of leaving, a piece of joking advice drifted over from nowhere...

Qian Ruozhi smiled, raised her head, and looked around.

There was no sound at all.

What is left is still boundless darkness...

However, at this moment, the dark room does not seem as scary as before...

However, she still felt uncomfortable!

"Smelly ice cube, where are you now?"

Qian Ruozhi buried her head in her knees, feeling suddenly so empty...
