"Maybe." Xia Yibing hummed, her attitude a little absent-minded.
She is not good at strategic planning, although her ability in this regard is not weak, but it depends on who she is compared with.
It's not that she doesn't have the ability to unravel the mystery and look for clues layer by layer like Hitzfeld, but the shadow left by her childhood experiences is too deep, causing her to trust the weapons in her hands more in most cases.
It is certainly useful to be able to find out who the murderer is in the shortest possible time, but Xia Yibing believes that what is more useful is to have the absolute force to kill the murderer at any time.
Otherwise, there is a high possibility of an embarrassing situation where even if the real culprit is found, she still cannot defeat him. She absolutely does not want this to happen to her.
So Hitzfeld is now thinking about analyzing every possibility in the future, but she feels that the most important task now is to rescue Aman. Even if there is an enemy to consider fighting, it should be Alessia. She should wait until these things are resolved before thinking about the distant Elsa continent.
Of course, there are other reasons.
"The Blood Bone Tree seemed to have mentioned a concept called 'transcendence'." Hitzfell did not notice her abnormality, and continued to analyze it with his eyes fixed on the void. "They said that the land was the 'Land of Decay'. There was also the law of eternal night, but humans still survived there, and the rules of transcendence were completely different from what we knew."
"Hmm." Xia Yibing hummed again, her eyes fixed on the girl's legs and feet hanging in the air.
There are no skirts in Hitzfeld's wardrobe that are longer than the calves. If Xia Yibing stands normally, she really can't see anything if she is close to her given her height. If she wants to occasionally appreciate her ankles wrapped in delicate stockings, she has to keep a little distance.
But if the sitting posture is different, the hem of the long skirt will be naturally pulled up, and the two parts of the calves will be exposed a lot.
There was one thing Xia Yibing felt she had the most say on, and that was Hitzfeld's health. She could swear on her conscience that Aisuen was indeed heavier than before.
This "heavy" is a compliment. In fact, in the eyes of most people, the girl is still too thin - her bone structure has not changed, her shoulders are still the same width, her wrists are still narrow and thin, and she usually wears long skirts that cover her figure. Most people will definitely not be able to tell the difference.
But Xia Yibing - let alone this period of time, they have lived together for a long time, even if they were not as intimate as they are now in the beginning, at least they know very well what the other person is like, which part has more flesh and which part has less flesh.
In the woman's impression, the girl's body proportions are very perfect, and she has the most perfect body shape within her height range.
But still, how should I put it... Just look at her initial head of dry gray hair and you'll know that she was severely malnourished.
This resulted in everything looking perfect when Hitzfeld was wearing clothes, but when she was occasionally required to take off her clothes and let Xia Yibing serve as a sketch model, it could still be seen that some parts lacked curves due to malnutrition.
But a person - if she can at least ensure the development of her curves when she is severely malnourished, then when she is freed from the shackles and can truly supply most of the nutrients she absorbs from the outside world to her body, how amazing will her changes be?
Ever since the girl came to Wayne and was dragged by Xia Yibing to live a shameful life together, the two of them have almost never slept separately.
Every day Xia Yibing either uses her as a pillow or is treated as a pillow by her. No one understands the feeling of hugging, touching, and pressing her better than her.
To put it simply: the places where flesh should not grow have not changed much, but the places where flesh should grow have become rounder.
Especially the part used for sitting on the bench, well... it was actually very good originally, but now, when Xia Yibing sometimes turns her back to look at the mirror after taking a shower, she feels that if she ignores the absolute value of the size and only judges from the proportion of both sides, she is not as good as Hitzfeld.
This also feeds back into every aspect of her body.
For example, the curve of the calf is smoother, and the soles of the feet with slippers hanging on them look more fleshy.
It's a pity...
Xia Yibing suddenly felt that fate was unfair.
It is said that when you spend a lot of time together, a person's gradual changes will be ignored in the subtle process. However, Xia Yibing really likes her so much that she is the first to notice every change in her as soon as it begins to brew.
This improvement in health is comprehensive, not only in body shape, but also in mental outlook.
Hitzfeld just habitually covered half of her face with her falling hair, so Ethan and the others hadn't noticed that she looked even prettier than she was a year ago.
She has already passed the puberty period, but she still has such obvious changes. If that eye hadn't competed with her for nutrients from the beginning, wouldn't she be much more beautiful?
She would probably be as tall as me, and much better than me in every way.
So... am I worthy of it?
Her current body is nothing but fate's jealousy and restraint of her. It is because of this suffering that I have the honor to kiss her.
If she could grow up healthy and smoothly, we might be people from two completely different worlds. She might not have taken this path, and she might not have even looked at me in the eye.
Don’t ask—asking is an occupational disease.
It is well known that there are no normal Shadow Lion agents. They are either paranoid or mentally ill. The few who seem normal are those with paranoia and phobia of insufficient firepower. Xia Yibing behaves very normally because her obsession has shifted from the nightmare of her early years to Hitzfeld.
Only when Hitzfeld and her relationship were involved would her heart waver. Plus, all historical evidence showed that she was working in a profession where a sudden death was more likely than a safe retirement, so of course she couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
"It's like they never seem to dream... Xia?"
When Hitzfeld said this, he finally realized that something was wrong with someone.
Xia Yibing's expression couldn't be described as gloomy, because gloomy is far from enough to describe this face. If she had to describe it in words, she would describe it as "a sloppy kitten abandoned on the roadside on a rainy day", with drooping eyebrows, dull eyes, and a completely lost look.
what's the situation?
(°wφ;)?
Hitzfeld was puzzled.
She didn't understand. Wasn't this a serious matter? How did Xia find it difficult to experience it for herself?
Could it be... Ou Jincheng?
Did she think of Ou Jincheng? Did she think Ou Jincheng might be related to her family members who died tragically?
After recalling what he had just said and going over it again in his head twice, Hitzfeld still couldn't understand how Xia Yibing associated it with Oujin City.
But now it is obvious that neither Oujin City nor the Kingdom of God is important. She has almost no hesitation. She keeps her lower body sitting on the edge of the table, stretches out her arms, and pulls the lost woman over.
Xia Yibing's eyes fluctuated slightly.
She noticed that Hitzfeld's toes were curled up when he was talking about analysis.
The weather was hot, and both of them wore thin socks. So even though the light in the room was not sufficient, she could still see some light flesh color through the stockings.
I remember it very clearly: when Aisuen was analyzing intelligence, his expression was always very serious, and he looked very calm and reliable.
But her feet were acting completely the opposite at this time. Her toes would curl up and twist from time to time, completely betraying how excited her owner was.
And now, the girl pretended to be mature and pulled him into her arms to comfort him.
The woman did not resist at all. She suppressed her emotions well and pretended to be really sad. She leaned half of her head on the softness and stared at the other's toes that were raised from time to time.
Aisuen's toes are different again...
Just now, when she was explaining with a stern face, her toes would curl up and move excitedly, but now, on the surface, she looked mature and reliable and wanted to comfort me, but the ten toes on both feet were curled up together...
What does this mean?
This shows that she is actually very nervous!
As the leader of Shadow Lion, and a special case who was promoted directly from hundreds of team leaders, Xia Yibing's basic skills in criminal investigation are actually quite solid. She immediately realized that this is an extension of "mind reading" and its branch - "action language".
Her heartbeat quickened and the woman felt as if all the blood in her body was rushing to her brain.
This was different from the feeling she had during their intimacy. She was indeed moved at that time, but it was not the same feeling - not like now, when for the first time she felt that she could control the girl.
In fact, sometimes she herself feels that she is sick.
That kind of hunger goes beyond desire, it is more like a drowning person longing for a single straw, or a person who has been sinking in the abyss for 25 years longing for a ray of light of salvation.
If the past 25 years of life were a nightmare, and I was a walking corpse constantly wandering between nightmares and reality, then the subsequent encounter was a rebirth.
She couldn't get rid of this feeling, even though she had noticed it from the beginning, even when there was just the slightest sign, and had isolated herself in advance, reminding herself again and again that this was wrong and immoral, but she just couldn't help it and couldn't do it.
It’s so wonderful and so dreamy.
Of course she knew, and could see that some people around her had already discovered the relationship between the two after all, they lived together for too long.
They would definitely think that as Director Imaar, even in this kind of relationship, she would definitely play the more aggressive role.
This is true, but it is far from enough to deconstruct the inner workings of this relationship.
Xia Yibing knew that she was the one who cared more.
No matter how proactive or assertive she may be in certain aspects, in her inner emotions, she is still a dependent person.
Rather than saying that the girl was forced into it by her, it would be better to say that it was a kind of pity and an indulgence of her violent venting.
How could she not worry about gains and losses?
Battivillefort is not in good health, but he still has at least 10 years to live.
His predecessor died in an assassination attempt five years after taking office, and his predecessor's predecessor only served in this position for 5 days. The average tenure in this position over the past fifty years was less than seven years.
How can she guarantee that she is an exception?
So she still has some emotions that are suppressed.
It is very deep and obscure, and I dare not let the other party know it easily.
That is the dark side of human nature, an aggregation of desires such as greed, and the desire for control brought about by reality.
But this question is too difficult.
Aisuen Hitzfeld is different from any other girl. The books she reads are useless except for occasionally making the other person laugh. They cannot quench the thirst at the root level.
She is too opinionated and her mind is too hard to guess. The more critical the situation is, the more reliable she is. She is calm, wise, steady and experienced.
Sometimes Xia Yibing would feel conflicted - how come I seemed to be turned into a pure female character, and how could Aisuen's shoulder be so reliable?
This is a contradiction.
The desire for control versus the wall of rationality.
Also a spiral.
The more frustrated you are, the deeper your obsession becomes.
It was in this hidden mentality and background that Xia Yibing discovered a flaw.
Things that cannot be understood just from the surface seem to be revealed by observing the movements of Aisuen's toes.
She wiggles her toes when she's excited.
When she's nervous she curls her toes in and tucks them in.
What about when she's angry?
What about when she... what?
An unprecedented novel feeling kept surging from the bottom of her heart, causing the woman's body temperature to rise continuously, and a dangerous storm was brewing in her eyes.
The most obvious effect was that Hitzfeld's scalp exploded and he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
She glanced quickly back at the pitcher.
The white smoke inside has almost disappeared, and the dry bottom can be seen from the upper side.
Whatever abilities it had before, it has been exhausted and can no longer cause any trouble.
It's not this thing...
Hitzfeld breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't notice that all her emotional changes were reflected in the changes in the soles of her feet and toes, and were clearly seen by Xia Yibing.
It turned out to be the case.
The woman's eyes became extremely deep.
Being nervous is similar to being afraid, both involve curling up your toes, but when you are nervous your thumb will occasionally curl up a little, while when you are afraid it will be completely curled up...
He curled his lips into a wanton smile.
This is so much fun.
It is much more interesting than any novels or toys.
When Hitzfeld turned around, he saw her expression and was shocked and confused.
σ(0wφ;)! ?
what's the situation?
How did it suddenly become like this...
Did I guess wrong? Didn't Xia think that his family needed comfort?
"I am fine."
Only then did Xia Yibing calm down, change the subject, and force herself back to the previous topic.
"Go on, Aisuen, I will tell you my understanding."
"Uh-huh……"
Hitzfeld nodded woodenly.
The mood changed too quickly, the topic jumped too quickly, the switching back and forth was illogical and inexplicable, she couldn't understand why Xia Yibing had such a change.
But the woman was already analyzing it happily.
