After communicating privately with Theresa, Ji Zi and Theresa agreed that Xia Ling might have a certain self-destructive tendency because of her past.
In the psychological tests secretly conducted later, Xia Ling's test results indeed proved this point.
However, Xia Ling felt quite innocent about this result.
If you could be resurrected without paying a high price, would you allow your friends and family to go into danger or die before you? Of course not.
However, it was this series of coincidences that made Ji Zi completely relieved about Xia Ling.
In addition to daily tasks, Ji Zi also began to teach Xia Ling some combat skills and experience.
On Walter's side, due to the cooperation reached between the two in private, Xia Ling finally didn't have to avoid Walter every day. Besides their normal work, the two also had a lot more exchanges.
Xia Ling's background and experience in the world before she crossed over made her fit for the role of a knowledgeable wanderer, and her experiences often gave Walter some extra inspiration.
Walter's knowledge greatly satisfied the curiosity of Xia Ling, a setting enthusiast.
After a few interactions, their relationship even improved a lot.
At night, Xia Ling would practice with Yan Wei for three or four hours every day at the training ground.
Due to the particularity of the system space, Xia Ling's body entered a sleeping state when her spirit entered the space, and Xia Ling's mental fatigue could be relieved by just sleeping for two or three hours after training.
Besides training, you can also enjoy the happiness of being close to Ai Li at any time, which is really nourishing.
Xia Ling's time passed slowly in this fulfilling state, and on the other side, Raven also completed his mission and returned to the headquarters to report.
While handing over the task, Raven also told Gray Snake everything about Xia Ling.
"Traveler...to be honest, this identity is not very credible." After listening to Raven's narration, Gray Snake was silent for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Sure enough, she was lying to me." Raven was not too surprised by this judgment. After all, it was somewhat unlikely to reveal everything to someone you met for the first time, or who was even somewhat hostile to you.
"Lie to you? No, no, no..." Gray Snake shook his head: "She probably didn't lie to you. If she wanted to lie to you, there are countless reasons that are more credible than these."
"I think she has no intention of being hostile to you, and this information is not necessarily false, or in other words, not entirely true."
"When I say it's not credible, I mean it's not credible that the truth is limited to this."
"Is that so?" Raven shrugged indifferently. She completely trusted the judgment of the gray snake in front of her, because this gray snake was one of the few individuals among many gray snakes who specialized in psychology.
"Then how should I communicate with her next? If she is still in Changkong City."
"Just have a normal conversation and follow your own ideas." Gray Snake thought for a moment and added, "If the other party continues to show goodwill, you can also give them some small help depending on the situation."
"Help? Like what?"
"Just follow her wishes. For example, since she is a traveler, and she has just arrived in a world, housing, identity, and common sense must all be problems for her."
Gray Snake opened the terminal and sent a task reminder to Raven's phone.
"With this mission certificate, you can apply for some funds. You don't have to be frugal in this regard. For the World Serpent, money is the least valuable thing."
Chapter 21: Successfully converted to a regular employee?
"Teacher, you are back!"
As soon as the raven entered the nest gate, he was surrounded by children whom he had not seen for nearly a month.
"Teacher, teacher, how long will you stay this time?"
"Has the teacher completed his mission?"
"The teacher seems to have brought back a lot of delicious food!"
"Hey, break some for me!"
A warm smile from the heart appeared on Raven's lips. She leaned down and interacted intimately with the children.
It was not until a long time later that the children dispersed after being called by her and Xiaokong.
"Xiao Kong, have you been doing well recently?" Raven touched Xiao Kong's head and asked, "Did you encounter any danger when you were out searching for supplies?"
"About this...teacher." Xiaokong replied hesitantly: "In fact, we encountered several accidents."
"But there has always been a mysterious person helping us in secret!"
"Mystery man?"
"Yeah." Xiao Kong nodded heavily and said, "Last month when the teacher came back, Lyle and I encountered a group of assassins when we were out looking for supplies."
"But before the assassin could pose any threat to us, he strangely self-immolated."
"Because not long after we came back, the teacher came back. At first I thought it was the teacher who saved us..."
"But this month, there were several times when we were almost in danger, and there were also such monster self-immolations."
"Once could be a coincidence, but we have encountered this situation at least four times this month, so I am sure that someone must be protecting us in secret."
"At least four times..." Raven murmured, "Which means the actual number of times may be higher."
"Hmm... that mysterious man seemed to not want us to find him, and his methods of attack became more and more secretive, especially the last time. If I hadn't found a familiar pinch of burnt black ash in the room, I wouldn't have known that there was a killer hiding in the room."
"That's it..."
"Teacher, is that mysterious man someone you know?" Xiaokong raised his head and looked at Raven with his watery purple-red eyes.
"Yeah, we know each other, I guess." Thinking back to their first pleasant meeting, Raven sighed, "Maybe we can barely be considered friends?"
"Then teacher, next time you see her, please be sure to convey my gratitude to the children in the nest!" Xiaokong said happily: "That mysterious person has indeed saved us many times. Unfortunately, although we have paid attention to him, we have never been able to thank him..."
"Okay, I get it." Raven patted Xiaokong's head and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed as well. I'll keep an eye on the mysterious person. That person is so elusive, I may not be able to find her."
"Now, I'm going to go clear out the Honkai beasts around the nest."
"Okay, teacher, be careful!" Xiaokong nodded obediently, and then returned to the room.
"Oh, really, it's another troublesome matter."
Raven sighed and looked out the window into the night.
Two days later, in an abandoned residential building in Dongcheng District, Changkong City.
"I say, even though the code name you left me last time was Raven, you wouldn't really walk through the window like a raven, would you?"
Looking at the "dong dong dong" knocking sounds coming from outside the window, Yan Wei, who was eating instant noodles, sighed helplessly and walked over to open the window.
"Is there a possibility that your door has been welded shut?" Raven was speechless.
"If your base had a normal door, I wouldn't have to come up through the window."
"Hiss, it seems, it's true." Yan Wei was suddenly startled, and then he remembered that both his own door and the door of the unit downstairs seemed to have been welded shut at the same time he burned the lock.
Raven didn't dwell on this for too long. She casually found a place to sit down, looked at the messy furnishings in the room and the instant noodles on the table, and frowned: "You're just going to eat this?"
"It's just a temporary solution." Yan Wei said nonchalantly, "I haven't eaten this for a long time, so I found a few boxes to try. Don't look at me like this, I'm actually a pretty good cook."
"How about you, how long will you stay this time?"
"Why, are you so eager to be Xiaokong and the others' bodyguard?" Raven raised his eyes.
"So the girl's name is Xiaokong." Yan Wei nodded seriously: "It's a nice name."
"I'll be here for a while, and I'm bored every day. Your kids are pretty sensible and cute, so I'll take care of them for a while."
"Of course, if you don't want to, I can leave then. It doesn't matter to me where I stay anyway."
"Oh? Can I ask what you want?" The raven immediately became interested.
"World peace, does that count?" Seeing Raven's disbelief, Yan Wei sighed, "Well, it seems you are unwilling to give me a little trust."
"But I can tell you that I am waiting for a chance. Before that time comes, it doesn't matter where I am or what I do."
"Where did you learn this Riddler's rhetoric from?" Raven complained, "But it doesn't matter. In other words, your purpose in helping those children is indeed out of boredom and kindness, right?"
"Well, what else? Am I attracted by your beauty?" Yan Wei curled his lips:
"If I really wanted to take those children as hostages, I could have done it a long time ago. As for you, I'm curious about why you left those children here."
"Even if you take a step back and firmly believe that I am a good person and have no intentions towards you, are you really not worried that those children will encounter danger when they go out to explore?"
"Everyone has their own difficulties. You don't understand. I just don't want these kids to have too much contact with my organization..." After explaining casually, Raven changed the subject: "Since you are idle here anyway, how about I give you a job?"
"Oh, tell me?"
"When I'm away, go to the nest and take care of my children, including their safety and living. The monthly salary is about this amount." The raven gestured a number: "You may not have an idea of this amount, but don't worry, I will never cheat you."
"Oh, I am now officially a regular employee?" Yan Wei chuckled and asked, "Are there any employee benefits?"
"You can have it if you want it."
What Yan Wei didn't expect was that Raven actually nodded very seriously.
"Interesting." Yan Wei became interested: "I originally thought that this was a spur-of-the-moment idea of yours, but it seems that's not the case."
"You may not have a good understanding of your own strength." Raven sighed: "No matter which organization you are in, your strength needs to be taken seriously."
"Okay, I agree. I'm free anyway." Yan Wei held up two fingers: "But, I have two conditions."
"tell me the story?"
"First, help me come up with an identity. It needs to be authentic and able to withstand investigation."
"I can only promise to do my best." Raven answered straightforwardly: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. You should know this principle."
"It doesn't matter, just do your best." Yan Wei was not surprised by the result. "The second condition is that I may need to leave for a short period of time at any time. You have to leave me some privacy for this job."
"That's no problem. You can rest assured that the World Serpent doesn't have that many people watching you every day."
"Then, deal?"
"Deal. By the way, what should the kids call you?"
"Well... just let them call me Sister Weicao."
Chapter 22: Peaceful Daily Life Begins Again
"Ahem, kids, I called you here today because I have something to announce."
The next day, the raven gathered the children in the nest and prepared to introduce them to their new teacher.
"I believe many of you have already heard of him. Yes, he is the mysterious man who protected you several times when you were out searching."
As soon as Raven finished speaking, the children immediately burst into huge cheers.
Children's judgment of good and evil is often very simple, and they have a very high degree of favorability towards Yan Wei, who has helped them a lot and done good deeds without leaving a name.
In particular, her mysterious presence and disappearance, as well as her powerful strength, made Yan Wei more favorable in the eyes of children.
"Well, seeing you guys so happy, I feel relieved. It wasn't in vain that I spent two whole days looking for her."
Seeing the children's happy expressions, the raven nodded in satisfaction, and then said loudly to the door: "Reed, come out."
However, there was no response.
"Hmm? Reeds?"
Raven walked over puzzledly, then pushed out the Flame Reed from behind the corner.
"You're already so old, but you're still so shy. Where's the ease you had when you talked to me?"
"How can this be the same? I'm just not very good at dealing with this kind of situation..."
Seeing Flame Reed being pushed out by the raven, the children burst into even louder cheers.
"It turns out that the mysterious person is such a beautiful big sister!"
"Since a big sister can use fire, does that mean we can have barbecues whenever we want in the future?"
"Ahem, be quiet. This is my friend. At my request, she came to the nest to take care of your safety and life. You can call her Sister Weicao."
"I won't go into more details. If you are interested in anything, just ask her yourself."
In front of Yan Wei's dull gaze, Raven gave him a look that said "good luck to you" and then quickly left the scene.
"Wait, Raven, you..."
Before he finished speaking, enthusiastic children surrounded Yan Wei.
"Sister Weicao, thank you for helping us before!"
"Sister Weicao, can you cook? The food the teacher cooks is so weird..."
