Houm Game Hall.

After chatting with the old lady store manager he knew for a while, Siegfried started his gaming journey with Cecilia. But before that, he noticed two people, one pink and one white, hiding in the corner of the game room.

It looks familiar, where have you seen it before?

Siegfried scratched his head, his eyes following Zijing and Yae Rin, he couldn't find their identities in his memory, maybe they just met them once, after all, those two young men were also outstanding in appearance and easy to leave an impression on people.

"Maybe I remembered it wrongly." Siegfried said to himself, then turned around and went to play with Cecilia.

"Siegfried didn't recognize us."

Yae Rin, who was pretending to play the game, noticed that Siegfried's gaze had shifted, so she spoke quietly to Zijing.

"Well, but the man outside has noticed us." Zijing glanced at the brown-haired man outside the glass window. The other's eyes were already staring at this side, and he immediately recognized the identities of the two.

"?! What should we do? Run?"

Seeing that the man outside the window had put down the newspaper and was ready to come in at any time, Yae Rin said anxiously. She was a weakling in combat, unable to even beat Zijing, let alone someone who could hurt Cecilia.

"He can't run away, right? Maybe there are his accomplices around."

Zijing looked calm and composed, in stark contrast to Yae Rin's performance.

"Can you beat him?"

Yae Rin knew that Zijing had combat experience, and seeing him so calm, she suddenly felt that he was hiding some skills.

"Can't beat it."

Zijing shook her head, "Now that we are here, let's make the best of it. Don't worry, he should just knock us out at most, and won't hurt our lives."

"Where on earth do you get your confidence from?!"

Yae Rin didn't want to sit there and wait for death, so she pulled Zijing towards the back door of the game hall. The man didn't move, but just watched them leave.

But when the two arrived at the back door, a blue-haired girl was already waiting there.

"Where are you two going so fast?"

The blue-haired girl was chewing bubble gum in her mouth, and blew a bubble, which then hit her face with a "pop".

Then, the voice of the brown-haired man came from above Zijing and Yae Rin's heads: "Assistant to the Bishop of Destiny and...friend, the intelligence did not mention that you would be involved. Was it a coincidence? In that case, you should have a good sleep here first."

The next moment, Zijing and Yae Rin felt as if their bodies were pressed down by an invisible heavy object. The latter couldn't bear it and fell to the ground in an instant, while the former paused for a moment, then found a comfortable position to lie down.

"Ai Yin, I leave it to you."

Walter stared at the boy lying on the ground, feeling something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it and just looked at the blue-haired girl.

The blue-haired girl held a syringe in her hand and slowly approached the two people who were unable to move on the ground. "Don't be nervous, this is just a sleeping pill. After you fall asleep, we will arrange a safe place for you to stay."

"..."

Yae Rin opened her eyes wide. A needle was stuck in her neck. She suddenly felt dizzy and her vision began to blur. She tried hard to concentrate, but the effect of the drug took effect quickly and her consciousness gradually disappeared.

Zijing was also given a shot, and she lasted even shorter than Yae Rin, falling asleep in a few seconds.

Walter asked the blue-haired girl to take the two away, while he continued to monitor Siegfried and Cecilia in the game hall.

After randomly finding a hotel nearby and paying for accommodation, the blue-haired girl let the two unconscious people lie side by side on the bed, then left and returned to her main task.

The sound of a door closing was heard. Zijing on the bed opened her eyes, touched the place on her neck where she was pricked by the needle, and stood up. A small ball the size of a marble rolled out from between her fingers and fell onto the bed.

He glanced at the girl who had fallen asleep beside him, and the fox doll in her arms that the blue-haired girl had brought with her, and also touched her neck to wake her up from her coma.

"Hmm...Brother...?"

Yae Rin opened her eyes dazedly. She didn't know if it was because of the haziness after a short sleep or some other reason, but the face of the boy in front of her seemed to have turned into someone she was familiar with.

"Come back to your senses, they're gone."

Zijing stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yae Rin's face, and the latter's vision became clear, and the boy in front of him returned to his original appearance.

"..."

Yae Rin then remembered that she had been knocked unconscious. She immediately looked around vigilantly and found that she and Zijing were lying on a big bed together, while the other two people were nowhere to be seen.

"Their target is Cecilia, so they won't pay too much attention to us. So even if we go downstairs now, no one will stop us." Zijing said as she got off the bed. "The blue-haired girl paid for the room, and our wallets weren't taken away. She's really kind."

"…Didn't they knock you out? That's just not fair."

Thinking of something, Yae Rin checked her body and found no signs of being touched. She heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately you didn't touch me while I was sleeping, otherwise I would have let my sister teach you a lesson when we get back."

"Then I should be glad that I am still a gentleman."

Zijing smiled and did not correct Yae Rin. She was indeed injected with sleeping pills by the two men, but she just did some small movements to keep her consciousness awake at all times.

The two of them went downstairs. Yae Rin was observing her surroundings carefully and slowed down her footsteps. In contrast, Zijing acted like a normal guest, checked out at the hotel front desk downstairs, and then left the hotel.

"Where are we now?"

Yae Rin looked at the bustling scene on the street. She remembered that she had brought Zijing to the back door of the game hall where no one was around. She suddenly cried because of her own stupidity. Didn't that give people the opportunity to kidnap her?

"It's not far from the arcade... Oh, I forgot your doll. I spent a lot of game coins to get it."

Zijing handed the fox doll to Yae Rin, who took it, but her mind was obviously not on it. She asked Zijing for the direction of the game hall, and then ran in the opposite direction. She didn't want to experience the feeling of being crushed again.

During the process, she also sent a message to the headquarters. After confirming that someone was heading this way, she was able to leave with Amethyst with complete peace of mind.

As they walked, Yae Rin felt more and more that something was wrong, so she stopped, and Zijing, who was following behind her, also slowly stopped.

"Why didn't they knock you out just now?"

Yae Rin turned around and looked at Zijing with suspicion. At the same time, one hand was already on the personal terminal, and the emergency contact function would be activated if anything went wrong. "Logically speaking, they went to so much trouble to deal with us, they shouldn't have specially booked a room just to let us sleep for a few minutes... Tell me, are you hiding something from me?"
