Armor Guardians

Chapter 254 Reminiscing about the past
Xia Qianmeng glanced at Ding Jing, then at the staff who had brought Ding Jing over, and immediately understood that Ding Jing's identity had not yet been revealed, otherwise the staff here would not have let Ding Jing over.

Let's play the emotional card then, since they haven't seen each other for quite some time.

"Just find a place to sit; there aren't any extra chairs."

As if this were her own home, Xia Qianmeng casually extended an invitation to Ding Jing.

Ding Jing looked around at the facilities, and finally sat down on the bed that Xia Qianmeng used to sleep on, without a trace of nervousness in her tone: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"What else can I do? It's all those alien beasts' fault. The supermarket had to close down. I changed jobs a few more times after that, just barely making ends meet."

……

Seeing that the two women had quickly become engaged in conversation, the staff around them decided not to stay and put any pressure on them, and simply left.

Ding Jing watched them leave until she heard them lock the door several more times. Only then did she consider how to subtly ask Xia Qianmeng some important questions, since she didn't know if there were any surveillance cameras or listening devices here.

Seeing Ding Jing's darting eyes, Xia Qianmeng knew what the girl was looking for, so she easily explained, "Don't worry, there are no surveillance cameras or listening devices. Just say what you want to say."

"Really?"

Ding Jing was clearly somewhat skeptical.

“They wanted me to cooperate, and then they would fulfill all my needs here. There used to be those things here, but I didn’t like having my every move monitored, so I had them all removed. And I checked, there really isn’t anything left. Anyway, I’ve received training from the organization, you should trust my abilities.”

Ding Jing: "..."

She picked up a washed apple from the side and put it in her mouth to eat. Of course, she believed in Xia Qianmeng's abilities. Since Xia Qianmeng had said so, she no longer held back. While eating the apple, she asked the question she wanted to ask: "What's wrong with you lately?" "Uh, you can think of it as me going crazy lately, and now I just want to rest here for a while."

"...Why do you want to rest? Is it because of the Atlantis sky island incident?"

"maybe."

"So when do you plan to go back? Because of your increased fame, many new members have joined the Black Group, but in my opinion they are all a mixed bag. However, Gao Fei doesn't seem to mind and has taken them all in."

"I don't really understand how it works over there, but since she knows how to manage it, let her manage it. As for when I'll go back, I... I plan to wait a bit longer."

"That's really... capricious."

"Say what you will. After you leave, remember to pass on my message to the people I care about, so they don't need to worry. I'm doing pretty well here."

"If you're afraid of others worrying, then go out by yourself."

Ding Jing crossed her legs, picked up another bag of potato chips, opened it, and continued to freeload: "Even if I told them, they might not believe me."

"No, they will believe it. You should tell my master first."

"...I really can't do anything with you. By the way, the task those people gave me this time was to brainwash you. Remember to cooperate in a few days."

"Brainwashing can't be successful this quickly, can it?"
