Chapter 522: You Can Trust Me For Once! I'm Worth Your Trust
The Bose Body squinted at Jiangnan!
"Your excuse is way too flimsy! Not even a ghost would believe that!"
"Are you afraid I'll snatch your treasure?"
"If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead!"
"This thing doesn't belong to your dimension; it comes from our side. Are your online shopping skills really that impressive? Still not telling the truth?"
At this moment, the unicorn Bose Body's eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression gradually turned cold!
Jiangnan shivered involuntarily, a little panicked inside...
Did the unicorn big sister find me because of the Crystal Conch?
So this thing really is a treasure!
Something from a higher dimension?
Jiangnan tested the waters: "If I tell the truth, will you give the conch back to me?"
The unicorn Bose Body raised an eyebrow: "Talk!"
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "It was a two-horned poached egg Bose Body who insisted on shoving it into my hands!"
"I didn't want it, but she cried! Said she was attracted by my outstanding qualities, insisted on giving it to me, so I had no choice but to reluctantly accept it!"
The unicorn Bose Body's eyes lit up as she listened, and her expression became excited, but then her gaze turned icy cold!
"You humans only have two ways to get this thing from us!"
"One is for us to willingly hand it over! The other is to kill us and take it out!"
"You humans love to lie the most. That clansman of mine is already dead, isn't she?"
Staring fixedly at the unicorn Bose Body, Jiangnan felt a little nervous!
But he still said: "She's not dead. She's living peacefully in a Ling Xu on our side, and no one bothers her!"
"I even left her a lot of good food and a bunch of Old Lady Spicy Sauce..."
The unicorn Bose Body narrowed her eyes: "Prove it to me!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes and spread his hands: "I can't prove it to you, but I'm not lying!"
"I originally had the chance to catch her, but I let her go. Believe it or not, there's nothing I can do about it."
The unicorn Bose Body stared at Jiangnan for a full thirty seconds, then finally turned her body away, facing the window, gripping the Crystal Conch tightly in her hand!
Jiangnan chuckled softly, his big eyes darting around slyly...
He turned back to the bed, pulled out the Vendor Cloth, and draped it over himself!
An unparalleled sense of security surged through him!
Then he teleported to the windowsill and sat down beside her!
The unicorn Bose Body glanced at Jiangnan but said nothing!
[From ???: Resentment +233]
Jiangnan bumped her with his shoulder: "Hey hey hey! You seem pretty free, so let's chat! I'm curious about you. How old are you? Do you have a partner? When you usually wash your face, do you wash your horn too?"
[From ???: Resentment +1000]
What the hell kind of questions are these?
Do I look that free?
How could I possibly wash my horn when I wash my face!
The unicorn Bose Body shot Jiangnan a fierce glare, then turned her head away with disdain.
Jiangnan rubbed his chin, wondering if he should try trapping her with a Spatial Barrier?
Or throw the Vendor Cloth over her head, wrap her up, and take her home?
But thinking of Piers's miserable state, Jiangnan shuddered and gave up the idea!
He then asked curiously: "Why do you speak our language? The Poached Egg can't speak; she uses sign language..."
The unicorn Bose Body said coldly: "You can learn our writing; why can't we learn your language?"
"As for her... forget it."
With that, she moved a little further away, as if wanting to keep her distance from Jiangnan!
But Jiangnan immediately scooted closer, shoulder to shoulder with her, curious!
"Why did you take the Incantation documents? That stuff is useless to you, right? You barely escaped from Area 53; if you wanted to run, no one could catch you!"
"Why are you still hanging around the Metropolis? Staying like this, you'll eventually get caught..."
The unicorn Bose Body's eyes were filled with hatred: "I want to kill Piers! Kill all the humans who came to catch me!"
"The Incantation documents are just bait, used to lure them in!"
"You humans are all bad people! Not a single good one among you!"
"Including you. Right now, you're definitely thinking of ways to catch me and take the Incantation documents!"
Jiangnan pouted: "How could that be? I've always been upright and honest; people affectionately call me an angel among devils!"
The unicorn Bose Body turned around, a faint curve lifting the corner of her mouth!
She faced Jiangnan squarely, puffed out her chest, allowing him to clearly see the hard drive inside!
"Then let me ask you: Do you want this or not?"
Jiangnan swallowed hard, his heart pounding wildly!
Heavens! Is happiness coming so suddenly?
"Which one?"
[From ???: Resentment +1000]
The Bose Body glared at him, raised her hand, and gave Jiangnan a sharp bonk on the head!
"What are you staring at? Which one? What else could it be? The documents! The documents!"
Jiangnan covered his head, his face flushing: "Oh, the documents! I thought you meant... meant..."
The Bose Body said grumpily: "Meant what?"
"Nothing..."
"Do you want it or not?"
Jiangnan said candidly: "Of course I do! Why wouldn't I? That's exactly why I came!"
A hint of loss flickered in the unicorn Bose Body's eyes, then she said coldly: "Last time at the power plant, you didn't attack me, and you even helped me fight against the Star Shield Bureau. I thought you were different from those humans!"
"Now it seems, there's no difference!"
Jiangnan rubbed his nose: "I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't want to deceive you. I really do want the documents, but I have my own bottom line!"
"No matter how you see me, I still advise you to leave the Metropolis. You can't outplay humans. If you keep this up, you'll eventually get caught!"
"The world is vast; why not go somewhere else? You're a Bose Body; no one can control you!"
The unicorn Bose Body gazed at the night sky: "I'm utterly disappointed in this world of yours. Everywhere I look, there's nothing but malice!"
"The world is indeed vast, but there's no place for me. I don't belong here, and I've been abandoned by my homeland..."
"I'm a wanderer. Now... I don't belong anywhere anymore."
Jiangnan listened quietly to her words, a heaviness in his heart.
What was this homeland she spoke of? Why was she abandoned? Was the Poached Egg also a wanderer?
There were so many unknown things about Bose Bodies!
The unicorn Bose Body's eyes burned with hatred: "It doesn't matter if I get caught. I was imprisoned in Area 53 for fifteen years!"
"I just want revenge! I want to kill Piers and kill all the humans who have shown me malice!"
"Whatever the outcome, I'll accept it. After that, I'll leave the Incantation documents to you as thanks for helping my clansman!"
Jiangnan looked at the unicorn Bose Body, his expression serious!
"You already know the outcome! Do you want to die? Is there nothing in this world that you're attached to?"
The Bose Body was silent, saying nothing...
Jiangnan: "This world isn't just full of bad people; there are good people too! Just like there's night, there will be day! Don't deny all humans!"
"Your homeland doesn't want you anymore, so you can find a new home. Standing in the darkness, never choose to stay stagnant, or dawn will never come!"
This was how Jiangnan himself had walked his own path!
"Give up on revenge. Come with me. I may not be able to do much, but I can reunite you with your clansman and find a place in this world for you and your kin!"
"There, neither I nor my friends will harm you!"
The unicorn Bose Body stared blankly at Jiangnan, then broke into a smile: "You really are different from the humans I've met before. I can sense your goodwill!"
"But I don't trust you!"
"If you knew the truth, you probably wouldn't treat me like this anymore."
Jiangnan shrugged and smiled brightly: "You can trust me for once! I do have selfish motives, but you'll find that I'm worth trusting!"
The unicorn Bose Body gazed into the distance, a hint of melancholy in her eyes: "Next time! If there's a next time, I'll trust you for once..."
"Fifteen days from now, Central Park! Remember to come get the Incantation documents!"
Jiangnan wanted to say something more, but when he turned around, the unicorn Bose Body had already disappeared!
Only a string of conch pendant lay quietly on the windowsill!
In the east, the first rays of morning sun rose, casting the conch pendant in crystal-clear brilliance!
Jiangnan picked it up and hung it around his neck. Even though the unicorn Bose Body had promised to give him the documents, he couldn't muster any joy in his expression.
Jiangnan knew that fifteen days later, the unicorn Bose Body would likely make her last stand!
She was utterly disillusioned with this world, probably preferring death over being captured!
Jiangnan didn't think she could kill Piers!
"Hiss... this is troublesome!"
