Quadruple split.

Chapter 2441 Interlude: Lucky

bah—

With a muffled sound, Wang Badan, whose shell was kicked lightly by Mo Tan, slowly poked his head out and looked weakly at the two people standing side by side in front of him: "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just came to see you."

Ji Xiaoge hugged her knees and sat next to Wang Badan, tapping the latter's forehead gently: "I heard from your eldest brother that you cut off the mental communication with him before, and haven't reconnected until now, is that true?"

Wang Badan said nothing, but nodded reluctantly.

"so……"

Ji Xiaoge smiled lightly and asked softly, "Are you pretending to be autistic here because you're afraid he'll blame you?"

"Definitely not."

Wang Badan curled his lips and said with a groan, "Although I did disconnect part of the blood contract, it was only so that I could concentrate on helping him. Although my brother is a troublemaker, he is not the kind of person who would repay kindness with enmity, so he can't blame me, right?"

Mo Tan rolled his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Are you trying to shut me up?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Wang Ba looked at Mo Tan fearlessly and said seriously, "I guess you still have to thank me."

Ji Xiaoge coughed lightly, gave the little turtle next to him a harmless elbow, and whispered: "What are you talking about, kid? Do you really want him to scold you? Hurry up and say something nice to him..."

"Thanks."

However, before Ji Xiaoge could finish, Mo Tan squatted in front of Wang Badan with a wry smile and said seriously: "Thanks to your help this time, I owe you one."

Ji Xiaoge: “…Huh?”

"Sister, why are you still confused? Didn't I tell you that I cut off the communication before to help my brother?"

Wang Badan stretched his limbs, which were quite short and thick compared to his body, and said happily: "He is such a reasonable person. Even if I blocked him just because I was annoyed, he should thank me."

Mo Tan sighed, and while vowing for the umpteenth time to continue to educate Wang Badan, he reluctantly agreed: "I guess so, but you should not get too carried away."

Wang Badan shook his head and continued to maintain his half-dead demeanor: "Do you think I am getting carried away?"

Mo Tan looked at him carefully and shook his head: "No."

"Right!"

Ji Xiaoge slapped her thigh hard and said to Mo Tan with an unconvinced look on her face: "I just felt that the little bastard was worried about something, but I didn't expect it wasn't because he was afraid of being scolded by you!"

The latter raised his hands in surrender, and after the girl showed a somewhat smug and somewhat forced smile, he looked at Wang Badan again and asked directly: "So what's wrong with you?"

Wang Ba rolled his eyes in fear and said unhappily, "I'm just annoyed. Brother, you are so patient with others that you would even give way to a passing wild boar. Why are you so mean to me? Are you bullying an honest person?"

"Because I can't give you face."

Mo Tan glanced at the turtle next to him who only cared about hard things and only remembered to eat but not to be beaten: "So stop talking nonsense, why is that?"

“It’s annoying.”

Wang Badan’s words are concise and to the point.

"Ah."

Mo Tan nodded and moved his wrist nonchalantly: "What are you worried about?"

"I can't help."

Wang Badan sighed sadly and said quietly, "Although dragons and dogs have different paths, no matter how noble I am, I am still a dog after all... Hey, seriously, can't we change this crappy name?"

"No."

Mo Tan is concise and to the point.

"Ox."

Wang Badan didn't continue talking nonsense, and continued: "Anyway, no matter what, I am a member of the Paw Patrol Adventure Team, but this time... you guys almost got wiped out, and I was watching the show the whole time. Although I'm not saying that I don't like watching shows, but I always feel that..."

Ji Xiaoge blinked, tilted her head and asked Wang Badan, who was somewhat at a loss for words, "What do you feel?"

“It always feels a little fucked up.”

Wang Badan retracted his head into his shell and said in a buzzing voice, "People are dead, two living people... Damn it, you almost died too, damn it, Peschi said before that she would help me find a solution, damn it, if I followed... it would be useless, I'm so slow, and I have to find someone to move me, damn it."

Mo Tan's eyes twitched at Wang Badan's series of sighs, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Besides frequently swearing, don't you have any other way to vent your emotions?"

"Gone."

Wang Badan, who was hiding in his shell, answered without hesitation, saying calmly: "After all, I am just a weak little turtle."

"I think so."

Ji Xiaoge rubbed against Mo Tan and gently pinched the back of the latter's hand. Then, she said seriously to the turtle in front of her: "You are just a weak little turtle, so there is no need to think so much. I know you are a little scared, and I know you are sad for Brother Largo and Sister Peixi, but there is no need to blame yourself... You have done very well."

Mo Tan also nodded slightly and said softly: "You saved my life. It can even be said that if you hadn't helped me share that wave of damage, there might have been a very bad chain reaction. Are you in good health?"

"Not very good, but much better than Lao Jia."

Wang Badan said something in a depressed tone, and then he muttered something as if he was talking to himself. However, because he was curled up in his shell, Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge didn't hear clearly. Just when the former was about to ask more questions, he suddenly fell to the ground as if he had lost strength, and lost consciousness without any warning.

"silent?!"

Ji Xiaoge was startled immediately, but since this was not the first time, she calmed down after noticing that the other party was just offline. She adjusted Mo Tan's posture, which was bound to make his whole body numb after he stood up, so that Mo's body could lie more comfortably.

"Oh haha——"

Wang Badan stuck his head out and whistled, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Knee pillow?"

"Why, are you jealous?"

Ji Xiaoge looked up at the sly-looking Wang Ba and raised her eyebrows, "How about I give you a pillow, too?"

"No envy, no interest."

Wang Badan shook his head vigorously and added, "But you can't tell this to anyone else, sister. I guarantee that, apart from me and my brother... well, apart from me, I think it's hard to find anyone in this world who can resist the temptation of your lap pillow."

Ji Xiaoge snorted softly, then lowered her head and looked at Mo, who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. She raised her hand and rubbed his somewhat messy hair. While resisting some dangerous impulse deep in her heart (to pull out a few strands), she asked casually, "You should know, little bastard, right?"

Wang Badan was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Know what?"

“Know why he’s offline so often.”

Ji Xiaoge lowered her eyes and looked at Mo Tan, without raising her head, she said, "I know that although there are some things he won't tell us, he won't hide them from you."

Wang Badan was frightened and shuddered immediately, then quickly explained: "No, no, although my brother did talk to me about a lot of random things, we were basically just chatting about small things. As for why he would suddenly become like this, as if he had died suddenly, I really don't know."

"You don't know either?"

Ji Xiaoge vaguely felt that Wang Badan was not lying, so she frowned slightly, then waved her hand and said carelessly: "That's fine, I don't plan to ask anyway, just knowing that he is fine is enough."

"What can happen to him, brother?"

Wang Badan, who had unconditional trust in Mo Tan, smacked his lips and said confidently, "With his personality, he is definitely a good guy in your world, the kind of person who is loved by everyone and everyone likes him. Although he is a bit troublesome, I don't think there is anything that he can't handle."

Ji Xiaoge nodded slightly and smiled, "It would be great if it were really as you guessed."

"There's definitely nothing wrong with it. I think the 'feminine' part of my personality has all been assigned to intuition." Wang Badan smiled proudly, then squinted his eyes lazily and just stared at the sunset.

Ji Xiaoge also didn't say anything, but just moved her position, leaning against Wang Badan's shell, unconsciously fiddling with Mo Tan's bangs, while pursing her lips, not knowing what she was thinking about.

A breeze blew by, and the sunset sank a little lower.

Fang sat cross-legged next to Jadeka, eating snacks in silence.

Birger began to help Klaus pack the instruments and equipment for the temporary observation point.

Gu Xiaole took the origami boarding doll apart into pieces and then folded it into flowers.

Lu-chan has used up the last bit of his magic power and is sending a message to Cordova to confirm the situation.

The information and files that Peschi and Largo had exchanged their lives for had been neatly stacked and placed next to the dining table, which was still quite noisy during breakfast.

Then, at this moment, Ji Xiaoge suddenly realized that there was really no need for her to be too sentimental about the two companions who would never come back, because they were not the type to like to cause trouble for others, and until the last moment, the people they cherished did not leave them.

Short, abrupt, and brilliant.

But it is also somewhat enviable.

"Little bastard."

The girl closed her eyes and whispered, "Tell me, how far can your brother and I go?"

"I do not know."

Wang Badan, who also had his eyes closed, hummed twice and said lazily, "Go ask him."

"Never."

"No way?"

"Don't you think I've caused him too much trouble?"

"I just know that if someone else were to have this kind of 'trouble', they would probably explode with joy."

"right."

"Yes."

"..."

"..."

"Little bastard."

"what?"

"Don't learn to keep everything in your heart like Mo. I'm not that smart. Although I try hard, I can't guess most of the time."

"I've already complained, the most I can say is... well, I plan to work harder in the future."

"Don't learn from him in this regard."

"what?"

"If you try too hard, you'll tire yourself out."

"Sister, do you think I'm the kind of fool who would let myself get tired?"

"Yes, I still trust you in this regard."

"I'm sad."

"You're hurt."

"6."

"Little bastard."

"Ok?"

“I feel like I’m super lucky.”

"Not only that, you're also super beautiful."

"Sister Pesci said that she and Brother Largo might be able to have a one-minute romance."

"Tsk, tsk, it's too short, fix it."

"If you keep talking nonsense I'll make you something delicious to replenish your body."

"I was wrong, sis."

"It was great that I could force him to have an online relationship with me that day."

"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy."

"I am delighted."

……

“Not happy!”

On the streets of Onik City, a pretty girl pouted her lips angrily and stepped lightly on the foot of the person walking next to her: "Wen Qiu is unhappy! Wen Qiu wants to go shopping again!"

"But the sun is almost setting."

Although he was wearing a functional, practical, and handsome white robe, and a pair of restrained and elegant silver-framed glasses, Gaheres still looked plain due to his temperament and appearance. He shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You promised Master Merlin that you would come out to play for a while and then go back."

"Ask Qiu if he wants to play for a long time!"

The girl, who had been staying in the temporary workshop [Codename: Red] because her physical condition was not optimistic these days, held onto Gaherez tightly and said coquettishly, "Ask Qiu not to play for a while!"

After being coaxed by the girl for a long time (with Merlin's tacit consent), he finally agreed to put down his work temporarily and go out with her. As a result, the now troubled Gajeres scratched his cheek and tried to put on the dignity of an adult: "No, it's just a moment, we have to go back."

"Well……"

Perhaps because he was considerate, or perhaps because his physical condition was indeed a bit bad, so that he was a little sluggish during the game, Wen Qiu finally chose to be obedient after a struggle between man and nature. After a slight nod, he let Gaheres lead him to the core area of ​​Onik City, that is, the 'restricted area' of Merlin's temporary workshop.

That's right, although the city of Onik has regained its vitality under the governance of Arthur and others, some areas have even returned to the pre-war level, such as the Craft Street that made Wenqiu linger, which can be said to be a highly praised one.

Of course, behind this prosperity there are indeed some dark, crazy and horrifying things hidden, but those things have nothing to do with Wen Qiu. In fact, even when it comes to the things in the workshop, Wen Qiu mostly sees the relatively normal side.

It's not because Merlin possesses some kind of gentleness that moistens everything silently, but because this old man, who has a high status outside the game, does not trust Wen Qiu's ability to keep secrets, and believes that the other party can easily cause him some extra trouble without any supervision.

In principle, Merlin doesn't hate trouble, but in principle, he will try his best to avoid all unnecessary trouble.

As for Gajerez...

everything is normal.

It's even normal to the point of being a little abnormal.
