The sage was determined to die.

Since the other person was still a middle school student, he had to exaggerate a bit, saying, "So I have to abandon some principles, understand?"

The girl nodded, then said, "But you don't really seem like someone with principles..."

Ji Bai rubbed his chin and shamelessly said something.

"You're right."

After a while, he sighed and said to her, "Listen to me, just treat it as an experiment. Don't you know in your heart that the thing that's parasitic in your brain will harm you?"

The girl looked at him warily: "You talk like you're so innocent."

Ji Bai tapped her on the head and said, "Are you stupid? Either way, you're the one being harmed. Even if I harm you, at least you can keep an eye on me. But if she harms you, you can't see her. Wouldn't that make it impossible to defend yourself?"

The girl was stunned by his theory for a moment, and upon reflection, it did make some sense.

"You're right..."

She shook her head violently. "What you said makes some sense, but..."

She couldn't think of what to say next for a moment.

Ji Bai smiled and added, "No buts, I promise that even if I'm going to harm you, I'll do it openly and blatantly."

He curled his lip, his eyes darkening slightly: "But if I remove the parasite from your brain, will you blame me?"

The girl seemed to have lost her temper; she wasn't really angry anymore, but she pouted, somewhat confused, and asked, "Why?"

I don't know which one she was asking about.

"I always felt that she was an independent, living person, not something derived from her."

Ji Bai shook his head, patted the other person's shoulder, pursed his lips, and said, "We come from the same world, so why don't you just consider us fellow countrymen? If I had to choose one, I would definitely choose you."

"A hometown association."

The girl's eyes lit up for a moment, as if she had just remembered something: "I even added them when I was on exchange abroad."

Where did this come from?

Ji Bai smiled and said to her, "My first gift to you is that I helped you find your name."

……

After his desensitization therapy, the girl was indeed no longer so afraid of corpses.

The distance between the two widened again, just like the initial tailing plan. She hid behind like a hidden tail, leaving Ji Bai alone walking ahead.

He didn't ignore what the girl said; on the contrary, he was someone who never missed a message.

—These are all real corpses.

—They are all different faces.

Ji Bai kept replaying these two pieces of information in his mind as he walked and observed.

In his eyes, he naturally couldn't see the real scene, while the girl, as the examiner here, could naturally see something different.

"If the corpses here are all real, then whose corpses are they?" Ji Bai thought to himself.

One answer after another flashed through his mind, each possibility having a chance of coming true, yet each seemed to be missing something.

What exactly is it?

Ji Bai stepped into the fog, and by deliberately being alone, he finally saw the person he wanted to see.

Chu Xi caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance. The figure was covered in blood, and a strong smell of blood permeated the air. At first glance, the figure looked like a rising demon.

As if he had a premonition, he looked up in the direction he had come from and saw a vague outline.

The next second, he almost instinctively took two steps back.

Ji Bai raised a hand and emerged from the mist.

"What's there to be nervous about?"

He looked at Chu Xi and smiled, "I'm here as a hostage."
