Chapter 212 - 212: The Missing Ji Xiaoxiao
“Why is it a personal…”
The martial artists were in disbelief. They thought that it was some special demon, but they did not expect that the thief was actually a human!
However, this also explained why the statue did not react at all to the fact that it had been stolen.
The thief was a man.
“This thief is obviously not from our Great Xia. They don’t speak the same language as us.”Ji Ruo said,” And they are quite cautious. I have been standing here for most of the night. They must have observed me for a long time and shot me with two arrows from their sleeves. Then, they waited for about half an hour before they slowly came over.’”‘
Ji Ruo briefly explained the situation to the warriors.
“They should be the ones behind the theft of the holy statues. Although one of them escaped, it’s still quite rewarding to be able to catch one…l’ll have to trouble you guys to interrogate him properly. I’ll find a place to wash up first, hehe.””The smell of paint is a little strong,” Ji Ruo scratched his head.
Rosie wrinkled her nose.” Meow!” she said.” Hurry up and wash up. I can’t stand it anymore!”)
“Haha!”
The martial artists were stunned for a moment. A martial artist asked doubtfully, “Aren’t you going back with us?”
“Go back with you?” “Isn’t the Eight Treasures Stronghold under lockdown now? Can I go back with you?” Ji Ruo asked in surprise.”
The warrior smiled.” You’ve helped us so much, and there’s no problem with your identity. It’s already so late, and it’s hard to find a place to stay in the wilderness. If we don’t let you into the village, is that what humans do?”
“Thank you, then.” Ji Ruo smiled and rubbed her hands.”
“What are you thanking us for? You helped us catch the thief. We should be the ones thanking you.””Let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Yonglin.”‘
Then, Ji Ruo followed Hu Yonglin and the others to escort the still confused Qiao Xi back to the Eight Treasures Stronghold.
Before he left, Ji Ruo put his hands behind his back and quietly waved for Ji Xiaoxiao to follow him.
When they returned to the village, the villagers immediately surrounded them. “How was it? Did you catch him? Whoosh! Why did you bring back a statue?”
‘ Why does this statue look like…” “Hello, I’m Ji Ruo.” Ji Ruo grinned.”
“Motherf * cker! Alive!”
The villagers were shocked.
Hu Yonglin and the others didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as they hurriedly explained.
Everyone finally understood.
Then, the way they looked at Ji Ruo changed.
Did he think of this method because he heard that there was a statue stolen in the stockade?
Using golden paint to disguise himself as a statue and waiting for the thief to come knocking on his door?
This was too f * cking…Smart now…
Then, he heard that Ji Ruo had come once during the day. He had specially come to help, but because the stronghold was sealed, he could not enter…
Moreover, Ji Ruo was a fresh graduate. It was said that he had just left school and ran to the border.
Therefore, the simple villagers began to praise Ji Ruo.
Ji Ruo was grinning from ear to ear as he received a huge pile of red flowers.
“Young man, come to my house to wash up. My new water heater is very useful.
“Come to my house, come to my house. I just built a new house. You can rest at my house after taking a shower.”
“Young man, have you eaten? Are you hungry? Yo, you’ve been hunting thieves since this afternoon, right? I definitely haven’t eaten yet. Let’s go to my house to eat.”
After learning about the number of good deeds, the villagers were very enthusiastic.
On the other side, the martial artists were already interrogating the tied up Josie.
However, the two sides did not speak the same language, so they could not interrogate him.
Josie had already woken up and understood his current situation. He also clearly knew that there was a language barrier between the two of them.
She was very cooperative with the martial artists ‘questions.
But the answer she gave was…
“Speak!” Hu Yonglin asked. Who sent you here?!”
Josie said with a serious face,”Jiggle.” (Take a closer look. You’re quite good-looking.)
“Why did you steal the icon?”
“Tsk tsk. (Kali, that guy, actually abandoned me and ran away. That’s too much.)
“Where did you steal the three holy statues?”
“Gulp gulp. (I’ve been caught, so pitiful. I wonder if these black-haired guys will give me something to eat…)”
The martial artists asked as they took notes seriously.
Ji Ruo craned his neck to take a look and realized that they were really serious. They had recorded all the words that Josie had said in the form of empty ears.
“She should have explained something just now. We don’t understand it, so we’ll record it down first. When the higher-ups send a language expert over, we’ll show it to them.”
“Yes, we have to keep a close eye on this guy!”
Ji Ruo was speechless.
Ji Ruo could understand their conversation the entire time, but he didn’t say anything.
Because it was hard to explain.
Therefore, Ji Ruo was prepared to join in first, then find an opportunity to apply to watch over Josie, and then slowly interrogate him.
He was very interested in the words ” my god ” that Kali said when she summoned the crack.
After that, Ji Ruo was invited by a villager to take a bath at the villager’s house.
The villagers gathered around to watch Josie.
“Why is the thief a girl?”
“Golden hair, blue eyes, and white skin…lt’s also a little good-looking.”
“It just feels a little strange. That nose is too straight.” “What a pity. How could such a good-looking girl be a thief?”
“Yeah, she can’t even speak human language.”
The villagers discussed and pointed.
Although Josie did not understand, she felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded and pointed at.
A Thief would definitely feel uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people.
She was a little afraid. “Ji…(Lord God, you will save me, right?)
At a villager’s house.
“Young man, wait a moment. Uncle will boil some bath water for you…l don’t even know if you can wash your paint. I’ll find you a change of clothes.”
“Alright, thank you, Uncle Li.”
On the way here, Ji Ruo already knew that the villager’s surname was Li and his name was Li Dagui. Tonight, Ji Ruo would be staying at his house.
Although Ji Ruo was wearing a Taiji exercise suit, and the golden paint on his clothes would ‘slide’ off after a set of Taiji Fist, Ji Ruo didn’t do that.
The Eight Treasures Stronghold was the place where the new Mystery Realm had descended. Moreover, the statue had been stolen. Although the thief had been caught, the warriors and villagers stationed there were still tense.
To be on the safe side, Ji Ruo didn’t do anything out of line.
Moreover, he had something more important to do now.
Ji Ruo opened his clenched palm and put half a finger on it. The shadow had completely disappeared.
A few tiny black crystals appeared in Ji Ruo’s palm.
These crystals gave Ji Ruo a strange feeling. How strange was it? It was probably the kind of strange thing that could not be described.
“Uncle Chen MO, do you know what this is?”
“How would I know?” ” Dog Chen Zai hasn’t gone out to play for hundreds of years,” Chen MO said.” Besides, we don’t share our memories.”‘
Rosie licked her lips and said,” Meow! Master, can I have this?”) ”
“Do you know what this is?” Ji Ruo asked curiously.”
“Meow -(1 don’t know, but I really want to eat it…) It seems that eating it will allow me to evolve…’
“Evolved again?” Ji Ruo was surprised.
“Xiaoxiao, what do you think?” Ji Ruo asked.”
Others might not have seen an exotic girl like Josie, but Ji Ruo had memories of her.
Moreover, there were no tri-colored people in this world. At least, Ji Ruo had never heard of them.
Therefore, Ji Ruo suspected that the thief might have come out of the secret realm that had not yet completely descended.
Kali’s summoning of the strange crack to escape seemed to prove this point.
There were probably humans in that new mystical realm as well…
“Xiaoxiao, I’m asking you.”
“Xiaoxiao?” Ji Ruo lowered his head in confusion.
” I remember that he was stuffed into the pocket of the thief who ran away, ” Chen MO said casually.” Didn’t he run out just now?””
