Chapter 430: The Disappearing Xiao
Chapter 430: The Disappearing Xiao
Although Xiao had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were slightly gentler.
He nodded slightly and opened his thin lips: "Hello." His voice was as clear and cold as a spring, with a unique magnetism that seemed to be able to penetrate one's soul.
Then, Xiao added: "As long as you don't do anything unnecessary, you can pretend that I don't exist."
Yuanzi couldn't help but widen his eyes, gently covered his mouth with his hands, then quietly leaned close to Xiaolan's ear and said in a low voice: "Wow, this is still a cool little handsome guy!"
After hearing what Xiao said, Sonoko felt that she became more interested in him.
Yuanzi's eyes were full of curiosity. She blinked at Xia Xi and asked impatiently, "Xia Xi, is this handsome boy called Xiao? He should be an adult, right?"
Xia Xi looked at Yuanzi's appearance, laughed out loud, nodded gently and replied: "Yes, his name is indeed Xiao. And he must be an adult, otherwise Zhongli would not have specially entrusted him to help look after these precious jewels. Don't underestimate him, although he looks a little skinny, but in fact, Xiao's strength is quite powerful!"
After listening to Xia Xi's introduction, Toru Amuro became more cautious towards the young Xiao.
Knowing that the other party was commissioned by Mr. Zhongli to help, Conan and Toru Amuro immediately guessed that the other party was a member of the Teyvat organization, and subconsciously began to look around Xiao.
After a while, they almost simultaneously saw the familiar blue Eye of God ornament in each other's hands, confirming that the other party was indeed a member of the Teyvat organization.
And it seems that Xiao and Mr. Zhongli have a very special relationship, and seem to be closer than with Miss Ningguang.
Ganyu slowly walked a few steps forward, then she smiled and solemnly introduced everyone: "Yes, this is Senior Xiao, a reliable person specially arranged by Mr. Zhongli to be in charge of security work this time. His ability is absolutely unquestionable."
Hearing this, Sera Masumi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked straight at Xiao with a gaze as if he was examining an opponent, with a hint of imperceptible suspicion flashing in his eyes, "Only one person was assigned to be responsible for the security of so many rare gems. It seems that Miss Ningguang trusts him very much! But... is he really as powerful as you say?" Sera Masumi murmured softly.
Masumi Sera also noticed the familiar glass bead in Xiao's hand, which he had seen many times in Osaka.
She immediately realized that this young man named Xiao was also a member of the mysterious organization that Conan had been paying attention to.
At this time, Xia Xi and Gan Yu's high evaluation of Xiao's strength made Sera Masumi curious about him. This not only further aroused Sera Masumi's inner competitive spirit, but also gave her an urge to take the opportunity to test the other party's strength.
"Xiao, if you are really so confident in your own strength, do you dare to compete with me?" Sera Masumi shouted to Xiao.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Sera Masumi in surprise.
Toru Amuro's eyes flashed, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to divert the other party's attention.
Just now when Ganyu introduced Xiao, Toru Amuro saw a gem that matched the description of "Pandora". He walked closer to check the introduction in front of the gem, and it was indeed written that the name of the gem was "Pandora".
But whether this is the "Pandora" gem that the organization wants to obtain still needs further confirmation.
When he heard Ganyu mention that there was a security guard in the collection room, and that he was such a shady young man, Toru Amuro couldn't help but feel a headache.
After all, it was not easy to avoid everyone's gaze and get in touch with the target gemstone. Not to mention, there was someone watching beside him whose depth he could not even see clearly.
At this time, Akai Shuichi's sister suddenly expressed her desire to challenge the mysterious boy. This instantly made Amuro Toru's eyes light up, as if he had found the dawn of a solution to the problem.
So, he seized this rare opportunity without hesitation and quickly echoed, "Indeed, to be honest, I am also very curious about the strength of the security personnel that Miss Ningguang trusts so much. It would be great if I could really see it with my own eyes!"
"I refuse." Xiao was totally unmoved by Sera Masumi's provocation and Amuro Toru's instigation, and replied with a cold expression, "I don't learn martial arts to be violent. I won't fight with others just to see who's better. What's more..." Xiao raised his eyes to Sera Masumi and said seriously, "You are no match for me!"
Sera Masamune was furious. How could he be so sure when they hadn't even compared?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly. In order to ease the atmosphere, she quickly changed the subject, "Um... Miss Ganyu! Why did you call Xiao-senpai just now?"
Ganyu: "Because Xiao is indeed my predecessor. Xiao started working for Mr. Zhongli a while earlier than me. He is my role model for hard work."
"I didn't expect that Xiao, at such a young age, would start working earlier than Miss Ganyu." Sonoko sighed to Ganyu, and turned her head to look at Xiao's young appearance again.
"Hey! Where's Xiao?" Sonoko widened her eyes.
She just glanced at Miss Ganyu for a moment, and when she turned back, Xiao was suddenly gone from the corner where he had been leaning against the wall.
"He must be hiding." Xia Xi said.
Facing everyone's strange looks, Xia Xi explained: "Xiao doesn't like to interact with people too much, so unless it's necessary, he won't appear in front of outsiders casually."
"Yes." Gan Yu comforted him, "Just like what you said just now, everyone should just pretend that you don't exist and take your time to visit."
After listening to Xia Xi and Gan Yu's explanation, although they still had some doubts about Xiao's sudden disappearance, they looked around and could not find any trace of Xiao. So, they quickly stopped dwelling on this and turned their attention back to the beautiful gems shining with charming light in front of them.
Conan ran to the place where Xiao disappeared, scratching his head and checking it back and forth several times, but he was puzzled that he couldn't find any mechanism there. So, how did Xiao disappear in such a short time?
If the height didn't really match, Conan would have suspected that the other person was Kaito Kid in disguise, as his appearance and exit were so... elusive.
In addition to Conan, there is another person who is very troubled by Xiao's disappearance, and that is the malicious Toru Amuro.
