"Zhao Rui, are you okay?"

I subconsciously looked in the direction of Qianchi, but all I saw was pitch black.

I finally realized that Wang Liqing was unusual.

I always thought it was because his face was so white that it looked so bright when it reflected the moonlight.

However, it was only now that I discovered that the tent was pitch dark and the moonlight could not penetrate at all. How could it be reflected on his face?

It's his face that shines on its own!

The pale and pale light made him look even darker and colder.

He seemed to know that I had discovered it, and he explained in a nonchalant manner: "My face glows because I applied fluorescent powder before setting off, so that if the flashlight ran out of power, I wouldn't be unable to see clearly..."

Wang Liqing's explanation is too far-fetched. Even if he paints fluorescent powder on his face, the best he can do is make his face glow at night, which is still a faint light. How can it replace a flashlight?

I was about to speak when I suddenly heard the sound of a siren coming from far away.

Wang Liqing wanted to say something else but I stopped him: "Wait, someone seems to be coming outside..."

I gently opened my sleeping bag and walked out with Wang Liqing.

I saw two bright lights in the distance.

It's a car light!

Geng Chengping is back!

When Geng Chengping walked out of the car, he was covered in sand, and his hair, which was neither blue nor green, was shaped like a chicken coop, making him miserable.

A woman stepped out of the passenger seat.

It's Luan Xi!

Geng Chengping really got Luan Xi back!

Geng Chengping was in a sorry state, but Luan Xi was very energetic. She looked at Wang Liqing and me carefully, with very complicated emotions in her eyes.

I have a strange feeling that Luan Xi seems to be different.

But I can't tell what's different about it.

Her nose is bigger? Her eye sockets are deeper? Her mouth is thicker?

It seems that there are none, and it seems that there are both. I can’t say, so I can only remain silent.

Wang Liqing frowned, and he had no less doubts than me, but it was too late after all.

He asked Geng Chengping and Luan Xi to go into the tent to sleep and talk about other things tomorrow.

Wang Liqing asked me to sit in the off-road vehicle together, preparing to spend the night.

I have to say that it was really cold in the desert at night. I hugged my arms tightly and shivered.

Wang Liqing was still wearing his daytime half-sleeves, sitting in the driver's seat thoughtfully.

"Wang Liqing, aren't you cold?"

Wang Liqing shook his head: "I'm used to it. It was much harder when I was a soldier."

I let go of my arms, leaned on the seat, and straightened my chest.

I can't help but feel colder than my son.

Wang Liqing said: "Zhao Rui, why did you go into the desert?"

"To find someone."

Wang Liqing suddenly realized: "Like Geng Chengping came to Luan Xi?"

"Roughly the same."

"Do you know her approximate location?"

"have no idea."

"Did she disappear in the desert?"

"have no idea."

"..." Wang Liqing couldn't help but frown and said: "You dare to enter the desert without knowing anything, and you are not afraid of looking in the wrong direction."

"Won't."

"Zhao Rui! Aren't you quite talkative during the day? Why are you saying two or three words to me now? You don't have to be too wary of me. I signed a confidentiality agreement and can't tell you about many things, but

I can assure you that what I tell you is entirely true.

Since we want to cooperate, you have to be more honest with me..."

I sneered: "You cooperated with me just to prevent Ge Wange and Lin Zihan from entering the desert. Now it has failed. Do we still need to cooperate?"

Wang Liqing turned his head and looked directly at me: "Zhao Rui, do you really don't understand, or are you pretending not to understand? There are few reliable people in the whole team. You have no better choice but to cooperate with me.

.”

"What do you want to do this time?"

Wang Liqing did not answer my question, but instead talked about Geng Chengping and Luan Xi.

"Don't you think it's strange? We drove for a day, no matter how slow we drove, it was only 200 kilometers. During the whole process, we found no trace of Luan Xi.

As a result, Geng Chengping drove for less than half a night and found Luan Xi. This was simply incredible.

Luan Xi, a woman who has lived in a town since childhood, has walked 200 kilometers in the desert on her legs for a whole day and night since her disappearance. Do you think it is possible?"

I raised my eyebrows: "So?"

Wang Liqing lowered his voice, and his slightly hoarse voice seemed a bit ghostly in the night.

He said: "I suspect that the woman Geng Chengping brought back is not Luan Xi."

"She looks exactly like Luan Xi. Even the eyeliner on her face has not changed. How could she not be Luan Xi?"

"That's the problem. She cried when she ran out of the tent. Her tears blurred her eyeliner and made her cheeks black. She ran out alone without even taking her makeup bag. Why did her eyeliner look like this when she came back?

It’s in perfect condition, as if it’s been repainted?”

"If she's not Luan Xi, who else could she be? The person who once pretended to be you?"

"No!" Wang Liqing's reaction was loud, his voice was loud, and he was particularly excited.

I narrowed my eyes slightly and looked him up and down: "How are you sure Luan Xi is not the person pretending to be you?"

Wang Liqing grabbed the dead skin on his lips and pulled out a transparent strip of skin.

"I don't think she is."

Wang Liqing's voice was very soft and slightly trembling.

He is afraid.

What are you afraid of?

Wang Liqing changed the subject: "No matter who she is, we must keep an eye on her. I feel she is special."

I sneered: "Wang Liqing, just tell me which of these people you think is average."

Wang Liqing didn't seem to hear my sarcasm, and replied seriously: "I can't see through other people, but Zhang Geng is an ordinary person, and Bai Luoxin should have no problem. As for you..."

Wang Liqing turned his head and looked at the black leather suitcase in my hand: "What is in the suitcase you are holding?"

"have no idea."

Wang Liqing snorted coldly: "Zhao Rui, don't think that just because you have some ability, you can fight alone. It's not as simple as you think here. Be more honest and you can save some trouble."

"..."

Alas, no one believes the truth. It’s really hard for me.

I simply stopped talking, leaned back on the seat and closed my eyes.

When Wang Liqing saw my appearance, he stopped talking.

The night passed quickly, and I was woken up by Zhang Geng.

Early in the morning, Zhang Geng started shouting: "Damn it! Geng Chengping, you are so awesome! You really got your partner back! You're awesome!"

Zhang Geng gave a thumbs up and looked around Geng Chengping non-stop.

"Geng Chengping, you said before that you and Luan Xi wanted to join the Paranormal Research Association. Do you have any special abilities?"

Geng Chengping packed his things stiffly, his eyes staring straight, and his body was covered in sand.

He ignored Zhang Geng and didn't even raise his eyelids.
