I am Lapland’s rat!

Although he made some slight noises in the process, neither Old Franks nor the injured Riboli who was lying on the bed noticed that a mole beast ran out.

……

When Wu Xian returned to Dorothy's tent, the yellow-haired Zalac girl was still sitting at the table, reading the paper seriously.

When she noticed Wu Xian jumping on the table, Dorothy couldn't help but let out a cute "Ah", and then her expression became a little surprised:

"You didn't leave?"

She really thought Wu Xian had left, and was a little disappointed that no one could chat with her!

"What are you talking about? Shushu, I look like a Shuba who abandons people casually?" Wu Xian raised his paw and glanced at Dorothy with disdain.

"Hehe..." Dorothy also seemed to know what Wu Xian wanted to express. She stretched out her hand to scratch her face in embarrassment, and then said:

"I'll go get you something to eat."

Just rice?

Wu Xian's eyes lit up.

Then just have a meal first.

……

Today's dinner is canned animal meat stewed with potatoes. It has a mellow taste and strong spices. It is indeed suitable for people who work hard.

The pioneers ate this every day. Dorothy was of course accustomed to eating this, but Wu Xian had no inhibitions and devoured it.

Witte, the captain of the pioneer team, and those who went to the pioneer team had returned. Wu Xian noticed that when they passed Dorothy's tent, they all kept their voices very low and never mentioned what happened on the construction site.

It seems that they still don't want Dorothy to know that they actually stole the work of another pioneer team.

"But if you don't want her to know, then she won't know?"

After finishing the meal, Wu Xian wiped his mouth with a tissue, jumped on the table, and waved his paws continuously to signal Dorothy to come closer.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Because Dorothy basically reads and rests in the tent at night, the members of the pioneer team should not be wary of Dorothy at this time.

"What's wrong?" Dorothy came over curiously and blinked her beautiful eyes.

Wu Xian and Dorothy looked at each other and asked Dorothy to extend her hand.

Then, with small steps, he climbed to Dorothy's left hand.

Dorothy turned her palm over, and Wu Xian stood in Dorothy's palm.

——Of course, when it comes to standing, he is actually about the same size as Dorothy's hand, and Dorothy only needs to bend her fingers slightly to hold him.

Then Wu Xian raised his paw and pointed in the direction of the tent door.

"Huh? Do you want me to take you somewhere?"

This is the first time Dorothy has seen Wu Xian make such a request.

After hesitating for a while, she stood up, carried Wu Xian like a king on a tower, walked to the tent door, and left the tent.

It was a hazy night outside the tent. Dorothy's tent was in the middle of the ring outside the camp, and lights, fires and voices could be seen coming from the center of the camp.

When Dorothy stepped on the lawn and came to the passage between the two tents, she suddenly saw an unfamiliar member of the pioneer team walking towards her quickly!

She looked a little surprised. She quickly searched the name of the pioneer team member in her mind, found the corresponding record, and was about to raise her right hand to say hello——

However, during this period of time, the member of the pioneer team walked past Dorothy's eyes without looking back and walked to the other end of the passage.

"Ugh?"

Dorothy's raised hand froze in the air.

Wait, what happened?

Is this big brother so rude?Or is there something urgent?

But it’s not like we don’t even have eye contact!

Dorothy instinctively looked at Wu Xian, who was holding her left hand, and found that the little silver flying beast raised a claw toe, put it in front of her mouth, made a gesture to her, and winked. slippery eyes.

Dorothy's expression immediately became a little surprised.

Is this what it does?

Origin stone skills? ...No, that's not right, she is a quasi-expert in this field. Although her research is not in the same direction as the tower mage of Leitania, she is very sure that there has been no sign of the activation of Origin Stone skills until just now.

Special abilities that are different from Origin Stone skills?

Dorothy's curiosity was instantly ignited. She felt that dozens of questions popped up in her mind. These questions were so intertwined that she even subconsciously ignored that Wu Xian asked her to come out for something. Do!

But when she looked at Wu Xian in her hand, she saw Wu Xian stretched out his paw and pointed in the direction of the center of the camp.

"..."

Dorothy's eyes widened slightly, and her mood suddenly calmed down.

It used an ability on me that made me invisible to others unless I spoke out...

And its purpose is to get me to the center of the camp?

Aren't Uncle Werther and Dad having a party there?

Dorothy thought about a lot at the same time. She was stunned and hesitated for a while.

At this time, Wu Xian patted Dorothy with his paw: "Zhushu, don't be in a daze!"

"What a great opportunity, hurry up."

So Dorothy took a deep breath, nodded, and led Wu Xian to the center of the camp.

Chapter 60 An eavesdropping

In this way, Dorothy supported Wu Xian and approached the center of the camp step by step.

The closer she got to the center of the camp, the more surprised the expression on Dorothy's face became——

Because the effect of Wu Xian's ability is beyond her imagination!

She was cautious at first, like a child who had just done something bad and didn't want to be discovered by others. She carefully controlled her movements for fear of making any noise——

But after a while, Dorothy discovered that even if she made any noise while walking, the people next to her would not notice it!

This is not optical invisibility.

Dorothy realized that this might be a stealth ability based on a psychological construct.

She repeatedly looked at Wu Xian in her hand, but Wu Xian did not give any answer. In fact, Dorothy also knew that even if it gave an answer, she, who did not speak Syracuse, would not be able to understand it.

This further strengthened her determination to learn Syracuse after this incident.

Wu Xian stayed on Dorothy's hand, looking left and right.

Under the night, gray clouds slowly changed their positions under the breeze.

A portable campfire was raised in the center of the camp, and the old Originium stove emitted light and warmth in the center. Together with the camping lamp, it illuminated this circular area in the wilderness night.

About a dozen members of the pioneer team of various races were sitting around the stove. They all had some dust on their bodies and held cheap alcoholic drinks in their hands. They were cheering and laughing happily.

Dorothy appeared on the outside of the circular area, standing under a tent from a distance and watching the members.

Even though she didn't deliberately hide her footsteps and sounds, no one noticed that Dorothy was standing not far away.

Wu Xian noticed a Pero man near the stove. He was tall and had stubble on his face - this was the captain of the pioneer team, Witte.

At this time, Werther was drinking down the alcoholic beverage in the cup, then lowered his hand, pinched the rim of the metal cup, and sighed heavily.

"What's wrong? Werther?" asked a film man next to him.

Another Elafian replied on behalf of Witte: "It's not about the project."

"You have a day off today, so you don't know that the Pioneer team that was rejected from the project is here to cause trouble again."

The Philin man understood immediately, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Those locals have been so stubborn, can they not find any new projects at all?"

"The Franks' daughter has such a good relationship with the Loken Tank Laboratory that this project must already be ours."

At this time, Wu Xian noticed that Dorothy's eyes under the tent had suddenly opened wider.

"——Not necessarily." Captain Witte still had a sullen face and took over what the Phillin man said.

"The locals over there found an eldest lady from the city named Saluzzo. I really don't want to offend her."

The Elafians echoed dissatisfiedly: "I really don't understand. Aren't they just a bunch of shabby people? Seeing as their equipment is worse than ours, who does that damn lady like?"

"Let me tell you, captain, if that man named Saluzzo really had the financial resources, he would have found new orders for them long ago. Why is there any need to snatch back the orders that fell into our hands?"

Werther was silent.

"........."

At this time, another Pelo said: "Then let old Franks ask his daughter to find the Loken water tank again."

Philin said: "Old Franks already has strong objections to our behavior, and he won't agree."

"Then go directly to Little Franks!" said Pello, who seemed to be from the Yan Kingdom. "From elementary school to high school, didn't our pioneer team support her to go to school? Let me tell you, there is no need to hide it. She, she has been a very good child since she was a child, how can she turn her elbows outward when she grows up?"

"Okay, I still don't know what it will be like." Witte sighed, ending the conversation among the pioneer team members.

"After going to college and then entering the laboratory, who can guess what Dorothy was thinking? Now that she is no longer a member of the pioneer team, she will definitely be a big shot in the future."

"She came back this time and said she was coming back for spring break to visit relatives, but who said she didn't stay in the tent all day? Did you talk to her?"

"..."

The players looked at each other.

Among them, those who had a good relationship with Dorothy before had clearly felt that Dorothy was deliberately avoiding the topic of her at school in recent years.

"I heard that many people who immerse themselves in science will lose their humanity..."

Among the crowd, I don’t know who mentioned it.

Everyone was silent.

Werther also sighed.

Dorothy seemed strange to them.The distant end they had spent their lives trying to reach was not even as good as Dorothy's starting point.

Strangeness brings fear.

Finally, Werther said: "I'll go find her tomorrow. She should help us."

It's hard to say this is a request; for Witt, it's more like a confirmation.

……

"..."

Wu Xian felt something wasn't right until halfway through.

Because according to his idea, in his opinion, Dorothy is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

This yellow rat is gentle to everyone and everything on the surface, but deep down, it also has its own unyielding principles and persistence.

Otherwise, in the "Green Field Dream", Dorothy would not be so firm in believing that her experiment could bring happiness to the pioneers.

So Dorothy would have been angry to hear that her identity and position in academia were being used by pioneers for personal gain and harm to others.

She will take the initiative to break the psychological invisibility, stand up, face everyone, point out their mistakes, and correct them herself——

In this way, everything can be solved.

"but……"

But Dorothy didn't do that.

While Wu Xian was listening intently to the conversation by the fire, she, like Wu Xian, just stood quietly under the tent.

It's just that the palm holding Wu Xian trembled slightly.

Wu Xian's heart skipped a beat, and when he turned to look at Dorothy, he saw a scene that made his heart feel like it was being clenched tightly——

In the flickering light, tears streaked down Dorothy's delicate cheeks.Tears were still flowing down, and her originally gentle eyes were filled with crystal dew.

She frowned tightly, and the movement of her cheeks showed that the girl was clenching her teeth, trying hard not to make any sound, and only a few weak whimpers escaped from her throat.

Tears slid down her face one after another. Dorothy unconsciously exerted a little force on her hands. When she realized that Wu Xian was still in her hands, she relaxed her strength for fear of hurting Wu Xian.
