~6 min read 1,169 words

Lin Xian pressed the girl tightly to the ground, not letting her escape easily.

"Since you're awake, why pretend to be asleep? What's your purpose!?"

The girl was stubborn and struggled violently. "I... I..."

Lin Xian's gaze turned cold, and he directly held the steel knife in front of her eyes. "Do you think I will cherish the fair and pity the jade?"

Seeing the cold light of the steel knife flickering, the girl's eyes widened, and she hurriedly begged for mercy. "I was wrong, don't kill me, let me go, I can't breathe."

The girl was subdued by him at this time, her face somewhat flushed.

Lin Xian frowned, thinking that this girl had been able to blast his door away before, so why was she powerless now?

Just as he was thinking, the girl suddenly cried out,

"Wooooooo, don't kill me, as long as you don't kill me, I can promise you anything."

As soon as the words fell, who would have thought that the girl suddenly turned her head and bit Lin Xian's ankle.

Hiss!

A sharp pain came. Lin Xian frowned. Holy crap, this woman was indeed cunning, actually sneak-attacking him when he was off guard!

In pain, Lin Xian directly slapped the girl's forehead with the knife.

Bang!

A crisp sound, and the girl immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch," and fainted.

"Still pretending?!"

Lin Xian's face turned angry. At this time, he didn't have any thoughts of cherishing the fair and pitying the jade. He directly found a bundle of nylon cable ties from the toolbox in Carriage 3 and tied the girl's hands and feet tightly, finally feeling a little relieved.

He sat on the edge of the carriage, looked at his ankle, and saw a tooth mark that was somewhat shocking.

"Holy crap, I won't turn into a zombie, will I?"

Who would have thought that upon hearing this, the girl suddenly buried her head and cursed,

"You're the zombie, your whole family is zombies."

Lin Xian's gaze turned cold. "Why, not pretending to faint anymore?"

"Tell me, what's your name, what's your purpose, or you can say nothing, I'll throw you off the train now."

Lin Xian drew his short knife, his tone cold, making people not doubt at all that he could do it.

Clang, clang.

The train moved forward slowly. The walkie-talkie was quiet. Chen Laoshi didn't send any news, indicating that the road ahead was smooth.

"My name is Kiki."

The girl's tone changed, from the innocent and soft voice just now, suddenly becoming somewhat cold.

Good guy, she was indeed pretending.

"How did you find me, what's your purpose, why pretend to be asleep all the way? Don't make me keep asking you questions. You should be clear about your situation."

Kiki buried her head on the ground and suddenly let out a sigh. Because her hands and feet were tied, she struggled to sit up and looked at Lin Xian with hatred. Although her small face was covered in tear stains and her eyes were still red, she couldn't see any grievance. This crying performance that could be retracted at will was amazing.

"What else could it be? Wasn't it you waving a flag on the roof that day?"

Waving a flag?

Lin Xian frowned. "Are you trying to tell me that you were on that helicopter?"

"Otherwise?" Kiki looked at him blankly.

"Continue."

"Don't you see, the plane crashed?"

"So?"

"I have nowhere to go."

"And then."

"You peeked at my underwear."

"..." "What do you mean?" Lin Xian frowned.

Kiki bit her silver teeth and said in a small voice,

"Yes, I did wake up the next day, but I didn't know who you were, nor did I know where I was. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you..."

Lin Xian's face changed.

"So?"

"So I naturally took you as..."

"A pervert?" Lin Xian blurted out.

"So your purpose in pretending to faint was to steal food and sneak attack me?"

"Not really, I just wanted to run away, but I never had the chance," the girl named Kiki said with a wronged look.

Lin Xian's expression was uncertain, and then he blurted out,

"Fine, you think I'm a pervert who imprisons you, then you can go."

!

Lin Xian looked at the setting sun gradually falling outside and said bluntly,

"Since you are so smart, I think you must have a way to survive outside. I see your family background is also good, so I'll just let your dad save you."

Lin Xian's gaze was cold, and he spoke with a certain probing taste.

"My dad is dead."

Her tone was flat, without any sadness.

The carriage was silent for a while.

"That has nothing to do with me." Lin Xian stood up directly.

"Don't, I wanted to run away at first, but I found out I misunderstood you. Don't kick me off the train, okay?" Kiki said hurriedly.

Lin Xian sneered.

"You didn't find out you misunderstood me, you knew you couldn't survive after getting off the train."

The girl was very smart, but Lin Xian still looked at her with a calm gaze. "Sorry, you have no value to me."

Kiki widened her eyes upon hearing this and said immediately, "Wait, you... you didn't hear my identity? If you keep me, you can exchange for a lot of supplies."

"I said." Lin Xian had a grim smile on his face, looking like he wouldn't listen to anything.

"I have no interest in your suggestion."

"What I said is true!"

"Not needed." "Goodbye." Lin Xian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, losing patience. He activated the Mechanical Heart, and the "Infinite" immediately began to slow down.

Squeak~

Not long after, the train stopped slowly. Lin Xian forced Kiki to retreat slowly to the door with a gloomy face.

"You go."

Seeing that Lin Xian really stopped the train, Kiki was finally frightened. Her big eyes were misty. She stared at Lin Xian with hatred, struggled for a moment, and then turned around with stubbornness. But when she walked to the edge of the carriage, she suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Lin Xian with panic, bit her lower lip, and said,

"Are you probing me?"

Lin Xian frowned. "What did you say?"

Kiki's gaze turned cold. "Are you probing my ability?"

Lin Xian's pupils shrank, and he remained silent.

Seeing him not speaking, Kiki suddenly relaxed, and the fear in her eyes was replaced by a cunning look. She looked at Lin Xian with interest. Although her eyes were filled with tears, she smiled and said, "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it from the beginning. Actually, you are probing me, right?"

The little girl seemed to have realized something, suddenly full of spirit. She walked directly to Lin Xian, raised her small face, looked at him proudly, and said without showing weakness,

"You know I have an ability, right?"
