After the group wear, I became the group darling of the big guys

Shi Ning looked at the man's tall back inquiringly, and she suddenly remembered that just before she fell asleep, the feeling in her hands did not seem to be the smoothness of muscle, but... more like the furry feeling of a plush toy.

Thinking of the disappearing doll, a subtle thought flashed through Shi Ning's mind, and even she was surprised by her own thought.

Probably not...

"Let's go to the left, right?" Matsuda Jinpei's low voice interrupted Shi Ning's thoughts. She frowned and observed the man, then nodded and said, "Go to the left."

She rubbed her fingers, no, she had to try again. If it was really as she thought, then she could completely trust this man named Jinpei Matsuda.

Shi Ning squinted her eyes, her hands behind her back, emitting a faint green light. Translucent green light bands flowed towards Shi Ning's hands and merged into the light in the center of her palm.

[Left side, stone, movable]

[front, wall, arrow]

[Front right, round hole]

Shi Ning squinted her eyes. Her brain had to process a large amount of feedback information with every step, and then extract useful information from it.

The mechanism on the wall in front cannot be moved, as a rain of swords should be shot out from it. The same cannot be done on the right side. If I'm not mistaken, the round hole should be the bullet hole. If this mechanism is really triggered, you will probably be shot into a sieve in an instant.

The only choice left for Shi Ning was the stone on the left.

Shi Ning quietly walked a few steps to the left and pretended to step on the brick accidentally. Shi Ning clearly felt his feet sinking.

Shi Ning gritted his teeth and shouted to Matsuda Jinpei in front of him: "I think I stepped on a trap."

Jinpei Matsuda raised his eyebrows. He had seen Shi Ning use her abilities when she was still a stuffed toy. From the beginning until now, it was obvious that she had the ability to detect.

Being able to get on the right path without triggering any traps along the way, but now it’s overturned?

Jinpei Matsuda squatted down beside Shi Ning's legs and looked at his feet which had not moved out for a long time. Jinpei Matsuda looked up and met Shi Ning's evasive eyes.

Oh no, it seems that this was not an accident at all, but another round of testing.

But no matter how he tried to probe her before, Matsuda Jinpei would always dodge it with his art of language. The girl, who couldn't get any information out of him, became desperate and took the risk.

This person must be taught a lesson, otherwise he will definitely do more dangerous things in the future.

But are girls nowadays so crazy? They can even play with their own lives?

"Lift it up, I'll take you running." Matsuda Jinpei stood up, patted the wrinkles on his trousers leisurely, and said lazily while leaning against the wall.

Shi Ning pursed her lips and raised her foot decisively.

As the sound of the mechanism rang out, a huge boulder rolled down from the front with a loud bang. Matsuda Jinpei carried Shi Ning on his shoulders at an extremely fast speed and started running back the way he came.

"Ugh..." Shi Ning covered his stuck abdomen in pain. The shaking made Shi Ning want to vomit, but he had to endure it.

Even though it was very uncomfortable, Shi Ning still insisted on putting his hands behind his back and pinched Matsuda Jinpei's face hard.

Sure enough, it feels the same as Paimon.

Shi Ning realized one thing, that Jinpei Matsuda was her little Paimon doll.

Jinpei Matsuda turned into a fork in the road, and the rolling stone rolled past with great momentum, but Jinpei Matsuda took the opportunity to kick it and turned into another passage.

Shi Ning's hand was still placed dully on Matsuda Jinpei's face, and he twitched twice subconsciously.

"Have you touched enough?" This was the second time that Jinpei Matsuda said this.

Shi Ning pinched it again in silence, then got off Matsuda Jinpei with a pale face, and said confidently: "What's wrong with me touching my doll? I just want to ask you what's wrong with you."

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows, pushed up his sunglasses, and shrugged nonchalantly: "No, you can touch it when we get out."

Anyway, I will turn into a stuffed toy when I go out, and I can't feel anything no matter how you squeeze me.

"Let's go, young lady?" Matsuda Jinpei bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation to the passage. "How about you not testing me this time?"

Shi Ning curled his lips and walked ahead: "I won't test you anymore. After all, you suddenly appeared at that time, which looked quite suspicious. Of course I was very alert."

"uh-huh."

Jinpei Matsuda put his hands in his pockets and followed Shi Ning unsteadily.

This time the journey was particularly smooth. With the reminder of the grass element, Shi Ning led Matsuda Jinpei to avoid various traps and successfully arrived in front of the big room they heard at the beginning.

There was a door engraved with countless ancient characters. Matsuda Jinpei stretched out his hand and pushed it. He used nearly 80% of his strength, but the door did not move at all.

"No, I can't push it." Matsuda Jinpei withdrew his hand and shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.

Shi Ning looked at the door thoughtfully. This time she no longer concealed herself. She simply stretched out her hand and put her fingertips on the pattern on the door. A green light suddenly flashed, followed by a rustling sound from inside the door.

Tiny vines slowly grew from the aging walls on both sides of the gate, and their growth accelerated as the elemental force became stronger. Before long, they covered the entire gate.

With a crackling sound, the door was slowly pushed open by the vines until a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through was opened.

"Let's go." Shi Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She was the first to step into the gate, and the green light on her hand did not dissipate.

The plants have a very strong growth potential, but they are also very fragile. The reason they have not broken yet is purely because of the protection provided by Shi Ning's elemental power. Once Shi Ning withdraws the elemental power, the door will close immediately.

Shi Ning carefully observed the room. It was a standard laboratory filled with sophisticated research equipment. Under the light of the flashlight, it had an inhuman coldness to it.

Shi Ning looked around and found that although this was a laboratory, many experimental instruments were placed all over the place and looked messy. There were even glass slides on some microscopes, which showed that this place was obviously evacuated temporarily.

【Private chat】

[Ye Lan: Ningning, where are you? Why aren't you in the room? ]

[Seven-day God Statue: Me? I am underground now. There is a secret passage in my room and I fell down accidentally.]

【Thomas: Did you fall? Are you not hurt?】

[Seven-day Statue: Not really.]

[Nashida: Do you need us to help you? ]

[Ye Lan: If necessary, there is a summon button on the panel, and we will respond. ]

[Seven-day Statue: What the hell is this? ]

[Taddalia: Haven't you studied our panel? ]

[Seven-day Statue: Ah this... maybe I don't have time? ]

[Ye Lan: There are three dots in the upper right corner of the group chat box. Click on them and there is an option to summon. When you summon, we will all be invited. If you have time, you can choose to go, but there is only one spot at a time, so it depends on your hand speed. ]

[Seven-day Statue: I see... Why do you know so much? ]

[Ye Lan: Maybe it’s because we conducted experiments? Didn’t you read the group messages? ]

Shi Ning looked up expressionlessly.

Not only did he not look at it, he didn't even notify her when he was summoned. Could it be that they were excluding her?
