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

"This time the mission is still to collect the demon god residue... It seems that you still have to go there, Ningning." Kamisato Ayato put his hand on his chin and thought thoughtfully, "Maybe there is something in the mall to temporarily store the demon god residue. I will go back to study the mall later. This time, Ningning, you can take some time to go there."

"Okay." Shi Ning nodded.

"But why do I feel like the person who needs to be appeased was chosen from among the people who participated in the group mission at that time?" Shi Ning touched his chin. "The last group mission involved Nashida, so the person to be appeased was Nashida. This time it was the wanderer... It feels like it was completely random among the selected people."

"But this is also a rule." Kamisato Ayato drank the tea in his hand and stood up. "The system is still calculating whether our camps are opposing each other, but my organization has a lot of things to do, so I'll leave first."

Kamisato Ayato, Albedo and Klee left one after another, and only Shi Ning, Xiao and the five gods were left in the dark room again.

"Mr. Zhongli, are you okay now?" Shi Ning approached Zhongli, who was resting with his eyes closed. Since the system could increase the difficulty, it meant that their path could not be said to be completely correct. At least taking an unconventional approach could also have some effect. However, as the center of the plan, Zhongli was under the greatest pressure.

"Nothing, just a little tired." Zhongli shook his head. His young soul was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he had to bear the weight and history of the rock. Now he was carrying the future of everyone on his shoulders. But in the current situation, he had to persevere even if he couldn't bear it.

"Grandpa, if you are tired, just tell us. We are not outsiders and we won't laugh at you." Wendy supported her head with one hand, squinting her eyes, and reeked of alcohol.

"No problem." Zhongli paused and shook his head.

Shi Ning looked at Zhongli worriedly, but seeing that he was still unwilling to say it, he had no choice but to give up.

Just as Shi Ning turned around, Zhongli suddenly called out to him.

"and many more."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Shi Ning turned around in confusion.

Zhongli pursed his lips. He raised his left hand, and a golden ball appeared in his palm. The young man handed it forward and said, "You will need this this time."

It is an extremely pure rock element.

Shi Ning was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand without any hesitation. The moment his fingertips touched the ball of light, a brilliant golden light lit up in the dark room. Then the golden light rushed into Shi Ning's heart at lightning speed and merged with the girl.

There were some differences in the steps when Nashida established the grass element link for her, but the final result was not much different.

"This is..." Shi Ning looked at his palm in surprise. Now Shi Ning was like an element conversion device, able to convert the elemental power in his body at will, but it was limited to grass element and rock element.

What about the other gods...

Shi Ning thought about it and looked at the three gods on the other side with longing eyes.

Fu Nina was originally watching what was happening in front of her with great interest, but when Shi Ning looked at her, her eyes widened: "Why are you looking at me? Are you trying to... No, no, no, I can't give it to you... The time is not right yet, because the time is not right yet."

"Funina is right. The time is not right yet. It's useless to give it to you now." Wendy seemed to have realized something and responded with a smile.

Lei Dianying simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep to avoid Shi Ning's gaze.

Shi Ning couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, muttering: "Am I a game character? Do I have to wait until that character node to get other elemental powers?"

It was still early when Shi Ning left the office. She did not go home directly, but turned around and went to a restaurant. The Xiao next to her disappeared the moment she came out, leaving only a slowly dissipating blue-black breeze behind.

Shi Ning didn't ask for much, just a few vegetarian dishes, and went into a small private room.

After all the dishes were served, Shi Ning closed the door and called softly, "Xiao, Xiao, are you here?"

"What's the matter?" A handsome young man with dark green hair appeared beside Shi Ning in the blink of an eye. His voice was cold and his expression was indifferent, giving people a feeling of coldness from the inside out.

"Would you like to eat together? I think I ordered too much." Shi Ning pointed at the four or five dishes on the table, blinked his eyes, and pretended to be innocent.

Xiao was silent for a while, and was interrupted by Shi Ning just as he uttered the word "no".

"I know, I know. Xiao is an immortal, so he doesn't have to eat. But my classmate is not an immortal. If you let her develop a habit of not eating, she won't be used to eating every day when we go home."

"Cheating"

These two words suddenly appeared in Xiao's mind. Shi Ning knew very well how much he could eat, and he ordered so much just to find an excuse to get Xiao to eat with him.

but......

Xiao covered his head in confusion. Why did he always feel sad when he heard the word "go home"? It was exactly the same emotion he had felt on the day Fanan Mianu and the others left.

"Xiao? Xiao!" Shi Ning waved his hand in front of Xiao's eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

He saw pure worry in the girl's eyes. Although he knew that she was not concerned about him but the original owner of this body, Xiao still picked up the chopsticks.

It was his responsibility to eat well and give the girl a healthy body when she came back.

***

Although Shi Ning didn't have much time left, it didn't mean she could tolerate someone calling her ghost outside at three or four o'clock in the morning.

"Ningning - little classmate - Shi Ning - your dear teacher is here - open the door, little rabbit, open the door obediently -"

Enough, really enough.

Shi Ning read the group chat until 1:30 last night before falling asleep. He had been planning to go to the sorcery school that Gojo Satoru mentioned in the afternoon, but this guy, this bastard teacher with no ethics at all, started calling souls at this hour.

Shi Ning pushed the door open with two big dark circles under his eyes. Gojo Satoru, who was wearing an eye patch, was stunned for a moment, and then tried to squeeze in as if he was familiar with the place. "Oh, classmate Ning Ning is finally moved by the teacher's perseverance? The teacher is so touched!"

"Shut up!" Shi Ning turned around angrily. She had only slept for three hours, and the lack of sleep made her want to attack indiscriminately. She took a deep breath, thinking that Gojo Satoru's frequent knocking on the door would surely disturb Xing Xiao, but he hadn't appeared yet.

"Where is Xiao?" Shi Ning looked around. Although Gojo Satoru's tall body blocked the door tightly, she did not see Xiao on either side.

"Xiao? Who is that?" Gojo Satoru took out a big fortune from the paper bag hanging beside him and asked vaguely.

"That's the guy who was with me that day. Why isn't he here?"

"The person next to you...? I don't know." Gojo Goto tilted his head slightly and continued, "Except for you, there is no one here."

nobody?

Shi Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Xiao... is missing?
