All my teammates online are my girlfriends

Seeing that the cat-eared girl had taken the bait, Tang Feilin's face also showed a look of pleasure.

While she was coaxing the cat-eared girl, Ying Ziyan secretly went to Bai Ya's dormitory while Yun Mo was taking a shower.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

A soft knock on the door drew the attention of everyone inside.

After glancing in the direction of the bathroom and confirming that it was still locked, they cautiously opened the door.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw Ying Ziyan standing outside the house.

"Sister Ziyan, what brings you here?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Lin Qiu just asked me to help you get some things. I hope I didn't bother you."

Ying Ziyan said with a smile, her gaze subtly sweeping across the room. As expected, it was full of girls!

We absolutely cannot let Lin Qiu stay in this vicious place!

"Huh? Lin Qiu sent you to pick up something? Wasn't he sleeping here with us tonight?"

"He just caught the enemy he was monitoring in his room, so the room is safe and there's no need for him to sleep in the dormitory."

just?!

Upon hearing this keyword, everyone in the room froze, then stared intently at the bathroom door.

"Wait a moment, Sister Ziyan, we have something to take care of."

Before Ying Ziyan could speak again, the moment the door closed, a loud, violent explosion echoed from inside the room.

Seeing the empty restroom, the security team members' eyelids twitched, and their resentment intensified.

No wonder it was so quiet, turns out they'd already run away!

"What's next?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm sleeping in my own room anyway. At worst, I can just sneak in in the middle of the night."

"Will we have to carry it back then?"

"Let's see if we can execute him on the spot; if not, we'll carry him back!"

"learn!"

After reaching an agreement, everyone reopened the room.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ziyan. I just finished dealing with some things and packed up Lin Qiu's things."

"Ah, it's okay."

Ying Ziyan didn't care; as long as these people received the message, that was fine.

Next, I just need to give Lin Qiu a heads-up, and then I can just wait peacefully for him to crawl into my bed tonight!

The plan is perfect, it's a sure thing!

As for Lin Qiu, who had no idea that he had been sold, he lay happily on Wu Xiaoxiong's big bed, looking quite content.

Wu Xiaoxiong, who was packing her luggage nearby, couldn't help but roll her eyes and called out—

"Is it really okay to be so relaxed? Aren't you afraid they'll sneak up on you in the middle of the night?"

"I have the necklace with me, so there's no way they can catch me."

Lin Qiu calmly shook the strange stone necklace in his hand; this thing was a magical artifact.

While eliminating the ability to conceal perception, it also grants immunity to all magic. Although it will become ineffective as long as you use magic, it is still very useful in the current situation!

However, you just need to be careful about charging it every now and then, otherwise there are no problems!

"I hope so."

She told Wu Xiaoxiong directly that it was impossible for things to be peaceful tonight, but she didn't say much more.

As long as it doesn't affect me, I don't care what kind of commotion it causes.

Just as she was thinking this, her phone suddenly vibrated, instantly drawing her attention.

Upon opening it, it was revealed to be Lao Chen's video call.

Wu Xiaoxiong didn't think too much about it and directly answered the video call—

"What's wrong, Lao Chen? You suddenly want to video chat with me now?"

"I've run into a problem here. All the trees outside my apartment complex have started acting really strange. I wanted to ask you... where are you?"

Looking at the room behind Wu Xiaoxiong, Chen Xiao paused slightly and asked with some doubt.

"I need to go out for a bit. This is a high-end hotel, the rooms are quite large."

Wu Xiaoxiong chuckled, but didn't forget the important matter and quickly composed herself.

"Old Chen, you just said that the plants near your house have all mutated, right?"

"Hmm, it's starting to look a bit like..."

"Like the plants in 'The Garden of Sinners'?"

"Correct!"

Hearing Wu Xiaoxiong's question, Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed, clearly his best friend knew something!

"Old Chen, you can think of it as the things in 'Kara no Kyoukai' gradually becoming reality. Those plants are very important. Go and see if any of them have borne fruit. After eating them, you will have magic power and can use skills like in the game!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao was stunned and stared blankly out the window.

Was I still half asleep, or was Sakuma talking in his sleep?

"What I said is true. I also ate those fruits, so I can use my skills now."

As if afraid that Old Chen wouldn't believe her, Wu Xiaoxiong waved her hand, and a bear-like phantom suddenly appeared on her body.

【Bear Power】

Old Chen was stunned when he saw the standard skill effects.

And then Kuma's voice came through again—

“Not only me, but your old flame also ate fruit, and even Yunmo and Zezhi ate it.”

As Sakikuma spoke, she glanced at Lin Qiu on the bed with her phone, but quickly realized something and her hand holding the phone froze.

Oh no, something terrible has happened!

Looking at Lin Qiu lying comfortably on the bed, Old Chen's eyes instantly sharpened.

"Saki, why is Lin Qiu in your room?"

"Ahem—Old Chen, don't misunderstand, this isn't my room, this is Lin Qiu's room."

What were you doing in his room?

Hotel, best friend and childhood sweetheart, evening...

A few keywords are enough for Lao Chen to imagine some plot points that need to be censored.

252 - The Appearance of the Scapegoat

"Old Chen, let me explain... it's not what you think."

"I'm listening."

Chen Xiao said quite calmly, but under Wu Xiaoxiong's gaze, the metal cup in her hand gradually deformed, making her eyelids twitch wildly.

"We just need to travel for work."

"You went to the same hotel room while on a business trip?"

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing her nonsense.

Is this how you travel for work? If I hadn't made a video call, you guys would probably all be in bed together!

"Ahem—no, no, we're just switching rooms. Due to some special circumstances, it wasn't safe for Lin Qiu to stay in his original room, so he decided to switch with me."

"I'm in the same class as Sawaori, please don't misunderstand."

Wu Xiaoxiong tried her best to explain, while desperately gesturing to Lin Qiu, hoping he would also help explain.

Seeing her hint, Lin Qiu immediately understood and nodded, responding with a friendly greeting.

"It's true, Lao Chen, don't overthink it. We came out this time because of the research institute's invitation. After we ate those fruits, they specifically invited us to investigate the abnormal changes in the surrounding environment."

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

Chen Xiao fell silent upon hearing this. Although Lin Qiu's words were 100% credible, Sakikuma was another story.

It would be understandable if Qin Yunmo, Ze Zhi, and their regular team went together.

But Sakuma also joined in, there's definitely something wrong with that!

When did you eat the fruit?

After Wu Xiaoxiong put her phone back, Chen Xiao asked.

"The last time you took me to Lin Qiu's house, Lin Qiu said there was a problem in the backyard, so I went to take a look. The people from the research institute were there too, so I ate some fruit."

Why didn't you tell me back then?

"You didn't ask, and I was so focused on using my skills that I forgot."

Wu Xiaoxiong smiled awkwardly, but to be honest, she had never thought of any ill intentions!

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao sighed, thought for a moment, and then spoke—

"Alright, you should go back and rest early too. I'll go look for some fruit."

"Okay, I'll hang up now..."

"Let me see you go back to your room before you hang it up."

"..."

Wu Xiaoxiong's lips twitched, and she glanced at Chen Xiao with a very subtle look.

Old Chen, you're being a bit too wary! Can't there be some trust between best friends?

Saki rolled her eyes, muttered a few words, and then obediently picked up her bag and left Lin Qiu's room.

I'll teach that old Chen a lesson he'll get sooner or later!

After she left, Lin Qiu was about to take a shower when there was a sudden knock on the door.

When Lin Qiu opened the door and saw Ying Ziyan standing there, he was taken aback.

"Ziyan? What brings you here?"

"Baiya and the others discovered you had slipped away. While they were looking for you, I secretly took your things."

As Ying Ziyan spoke, she shoved Lin Qiu's luggage over to him, which made him shudder.

"Everyone's looking for me?"

"Yeah, but it's pretty quiet, probably trying to keep it from you. Be careful when you sleep at night. If all else fails... you can come to my place."

Ying Ziyan tentatively suggested that since she and Qi Xi had switched beds, if Lin Qiu squeezed in, the two of them would be just right!

Lin Qiu naturally wouldn't refuse this crucial escape route, and nodded solemnly.

"Don't lock the balcony doors and windows! If something happens, I'll be there to get out of there immediately!"

"I understand. Be careful then."

"Ah."

After revealing the information, Ying Ziyan, having achieved her goal, didn't linger and happily took her leave.

She could already imagine the thrilling scene of Lin Qiu sneaking into her bed in the middle of the night and then doing naughty things behind Qin Yunmo and Qi Xi's backs!

Meanwhile, Bai Ya and the others were all gathered together, their faces filled with solemn expressions.

Have you searched all the nearby rooms?

"We searched the entire area, but there wasn't a single trace left in the dormitory. It wasn't a diversionary tactic; they definitely ran away early this morning!"
