Leaflet

"Ah?" The three of them looked at Qi Xia in shock. Although the plan was not complicated, it sounded dangerous everywhere.

"You're going to keep gambling your life against others?!" Lin Qin asked, "That sounds too..."

"This is the current way to break through," Qi Xia said, "If you agree... we can start taking action now."

Qiao Jiajian thought for a while and said, "Cheater, are you really not afraid of death?"

"Afraid," Qi Xia said, "But I must get out."

Tiantian sighed and suddenly said seriously, "Qi Xia... you know I didn't join this team because I believe in you or want to rely on you. I came 'here' because 'there' couldn't accommodate me."

"I know," Qi Xia nodded.

"So it's hard for me to believe that you will share the 'Dao' with me equally in the end, and I don't think I can beat you in the final moment to be the only one left alive."

"So what?"

"So my cooperation with you is temporary. If I feel that the current situation is not beneficial to me, I will betray you at any time," Tiantian said with a bitter smile.

"Although for me, there is no difference between living and dying here, if there is hope, I will fight for it. In short, I am with you three only to get my share."

After hearing this, Qi Xia did not show any unusual expression but nodded with some relief: "That's good."

"Good?" Tiantian widened her eyes, "Am I not clear enough? I am only for the 'Dao,' and you don't have to trust me too much."

"The most solid relationship in the world is the employment relationship," Qi Xia said, "I have no objections."

At this moment, Qiao Jiajian and Lin Qin glanced at each other. Tiantian had already said it to this extent... could she really be trusted?

"Since we have all reached an agreement, let's set out."

Tiantian didn't expect Qi Xia to agree so readily, which made her feel a bit uneasy. But after thinking about it carefully, what else could she be deceived of?

The four of them, with different emotions, advanced deeper into the city again.

The quiet city is always exuding a dangerous atmosphere. Qi Xia found that they seemed to be continuously moving towards the bustling area.

Here, they could vaguely see some 'natives,' walking around on the desolate streets like the walking dead.

"The number of people seems to be increasing..." Qi Xia murmured to himself.

There are not only various natives here but also animal masks that can be seen from time to time standing in front of buildings. It seems that the deeper they go into the city, the more people they will see.

As Qi Xia was talking, he saw a 'native' holding a stack of paper walking straight towards the four of them. The person's figure was as thin as the female clerk's, like a corpse.

Qiao Jiajian frowned and took a step forward.

Thinking there would be some danger, he saw the person hand a piece of paper to Qiao Jiajian and said, "Swimming and fitness, take a look."

Before Qiao Jiajian could reach out to take it, the person let go like a stiff corpse, and the leaflet fell to the ground. But he walked away slowly as if he hadn't seen anything.

"Brave Sword God?" Qiao Jiajian squinted, "What the hell is a Brave Sword God..."

He picked up the paper and saw that the writing on it was almost worn off, looking very old.

"There are actually people handing out leaflets here?" Tiantian felt somewhat incredible.

"Since there are clerks in the convenience store, it's not strange to have people handing out leaflets on the street, right?" Qi Xia said.

"What is a 'leaflet'?" Lin asked.

This short sentence made the three people slightly stunned for a moment.

"What did you say?" Qi Xia thought he had heard wrong.

"I asked, 'What is a leaflet?'" Lin Qin said clearly again.

"What is a leaflet?"

The three people looked at Lin Qin with strange eyes at the same time.

Is this a question that a normal person could ask?

"You don't know what a 'leaflet' is?" Qi Xia asked.

"I don't know," Lin Qin shook his head naturally, "Do you all know?"

The three of them didn't answer, but they were still puzzled.

Lin's behavior from the beginning was very strange. She liked to cover her mouth and nose and insisted on following Qi Xia. Now, she doesn't even understand the most basic common sense...

Could she... not be human?

Or is she... a member of the 'organizers'?

This terrible thought began to swirl in Qi Xia's mind.

If she is really not human, what is her purpose?

"I say, Lin Qin..." Qi Xia finally spoke up. If he didn't figure out Lin Qin's identity, he could never let his guard down.

"A 'leaflet' is a common item, how could you not know?"

"Common sense?" Lin's expression was obviously puzzled, "Just because the three of you know, it becomes 'common sense'?"

Qiao Jiajian interjected at this point: "This is not a question of whether the three of us know or not. A 'leaflet' is not rare, everyone should know about it. Why would you not know?"

"Yes, that's right..." Tiantian also nodded, "Have you never seen a leaflet?"

"You guys are really strange," Lin was obviously annoyed by the question, "So what if I don't know what a 'leaflet' is? Are you going to doubt me for this piece of paper?"

Qi Xia looked at the girl in front of him. Her behavior was indeed hard to understand.

If she was a member of the 'organizers,' and she had shown such an obvious flaw, she should at least lie to cover it up. But she didn't seem to be hiding anything, and she was really angry.

She didn't feel that not knowing 'leaflets' was inappropriate.

Could she be innocent?

But how likely is it for a normal person not to know 'leaflets'?

Qi Xia thought about it... if you really had to say, there was indeed a very small chance that a person might never have seen a leaflet. For example, if Lin Qin was the daughter of a capitalist, she grew up in noble places, and was driven around by cars. Or maybe she studied elsewhere and just recently returned to the country.

But no matter what, the chances were very slim. Moreover... she is just a psychologist.

"The so-called 'leaflet' is an advertisement printed on paper," Qiao Jiajian said to Lin Qin, "You've never seen one?"

"No," Lin nodded seriously.

Qi Xia didn't know how to ask and kept frowning in thought.

"Hey! Buddy!

Suddenly, a shout from the other side of the road startled them.

They saw a man in tattered clothes with glasses on the other side of the road, waving and calling out: "Look here! Buddy!"

This was the first time they had seen other normal people here, and they couldn't help but be a bit nervous.

Were the people coming friends or foes?

"Are you calling me?" Qi Xia tried to talk to the other person.

"Yes! You guys are also 'liangren' (good people), right?" The man in glasses smiled.

"Good people?"

"That means normal people." The man in glasses said, "Don't you call them that?"

Qi Xia paused and replied, "We don't look like crazy people, do we?"

"Haha! I knew it!" The man in glasses laughed and said, "We've found a great game. Are you interested in joining us to earn some 'Dao'?"

The man always kept a distance from Qi Xia and the others, as if he was also a bit cautious.

Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajian looked at each other, not knowing whether to trust the other party. But on second thought, the rules of this place do not allow for the robbery of "Dao," if the other party is up to no good, they can only "cheat." But when it comes to "cheating," Qi Xia has never been afraid of anyone.
