SIATOWITF Chapter 57
by VolareIt took Xuan Bai ten minutes to drag everyone back.
A group of test subjects who had just come into contact with the prosperity of the human world and didn’t have to worry about causing panic were like wild horses off the leash.
Except for Thirteen, who obediently stayed by the snake’s side, and Qing Teng, whose wheelchair was being pushed by Thirteen, the others had to be grabbed by the collar by the snake to leave the night market.
“Please, let me play a little longer! I’ll do anything!” Fourteen howled, clutching Xuan Bai’s wrist, looking longingly at the lights.
Sandball Fifteen jumped up and down on his head, fully supporting him.
“Then go ahead…” Xuan Bai let go, and Fourteen staggered back a few steps.
“Ah…”
“Ah?” Fourteen, who had gained his freedom, scratched the back of his head, looked back at the lively night market, and then at Xuan Bai.
Sandball grabbed his hair and patted his head with its little hand.
Fourteen swallowed and sheepishly shrank back to Xuan Bai’s side, carefully grabbing his robe.
“Not playing anymore?” Xuan Bai lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the hand clutching his robe and the small grains of sand.
Fourteen shook his head violently.
“Will you be obedient in the future?”
“Obedient.” Fourteen nodded vigorously, he was super obedient.
“Let’s go.” The snake released everyone’s collars, and the group obediently followed him.
Even the twins stretched out their hands for Xuan Bai to hold.
When they arrived at the hotel, Su Nai used her ID to book three rooms.
This was the first time the test subjects had stayed in a hotel, and everyone was like they had entered a city, touching and looking everywhere.
“Fourteen and Fifteen are the most lively. It’s rare that they listen to you so well,” Su Nai said, watching the youths jumping on the bed, a smile that she didn’t even notice appearing on her lips.
“How old are they?” Xuan Bai snorted softly.
Of course, the test subjects would listen to him.
Give them a beating and then a treat, these little tricks were all used by Ji Mo An to train the snake. Even the snake obediently listened, so how could the test subjects, who were like blank sheets of paper, not listen?
Not only listen, but also listen submissively.
“I’ll pick you up tomorrow at one in the afternoon.” The snake put on the hood of his cloak, concealing his face again.
“Aren’t you staying here?” Su Nai was taken aback.
“I have other things to do.” Xuan Bai handed her his phone. “The payment password is six zeros. Contact Ji Mo An if you need anything. I’ve placed a restriction on you, you won’t be noticed by humans if you go out on your own, but don’t overdo it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of blue flames suddenly exploded.
Everyone in the room was startled, watching as the flames engulfed the snake’s figure.
It wasn’t until Xuan Bai completely disappeared that Fourteen rubbed his eyes.
“That’s so cool!” he muttered.
“He called Du Xiao, Du Shuang’s name!” The twins stretched out their hands, making sign language, and began to hum a song.
“…” Thirteen looked at the sugar figurine in his hand and carefully opened his wings.
Among the dark feathers, a small, delicate fluff quietly lay.
White and soft, it crushed the invisible boulder in Thirteen’s heart.
It was given to him by the snake, fluff from a six-winged angel.
Happy. Thirteen shook his wings and smiled secretly.
The children had been completely captured in this short half-night. Su Nai looked helplessly at Qing Teng.
But what could they do? Qing Teng was also looking at her.
They both knew that something more powerful was gradually forming, and the motivation for following the snake’s footsteps was no longer wish and contract.
It was easy to enter the heart of a different species, all it needed was a little bit of kindness.
Just a little bit.
—
The snake, who used a cool teleportation, flashed back to 1601 in a handsome pose.
Unfortunately, the handsome pose could only last for three seconds, not even a second more.
The snake hurriedly hid in the bathroom, droplets of blood splattering out with his movements.
Damn it, the snake just teleported, and he was targeted again.
Xuan Bai filled the sink with water and then depressedly transformed into a black snake, rolling around in the water to wash away the fallen scales and blood.
He was increasingly looking forward to dealing with the Seer.
That guy had been able to stay in the human world for more than ten years without being crushed into slag, and had even let many humans know of his existence, so he must have some unique skills.
But if the snake learned this method…
Hehe.
Xuan Bai excitedly slapped the water with his tail, splashing water everywhere.
A few minutes later, a clean snake crawled out of the sink.
He looked up at the glass covered in water stains and the wet sink and immediately lowered his head guiltily.
During this special period, plus the amnesiac Ji Mo An, he wouldn’t press the snake’s head on the glass to wipe off the water stains, would he…
The increasingly guilty snake wagged its tail and crawled out.
He shrank down small, quickly slipped onto Ji Mo An’s bed, and burrowed into the gap between the man’s buttons.
…
Just as the sky was beginning to dawn, Ji Mo An opened his eyes.
He lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
For the past few days, the snake had been shamelessly clinging to his arm to sleep. The feeling of waking up this morning with his arm not numb and able to move freely was even a little uncomfortable.
It was still early, but he couldn’t sleep.
Ji Mo An turned his head. He hadn’t closed the window last night, and now a gentle breeze was blowing, lifting the curtains just enough to reveal a golden glow on the horizon.
It was like the snake’s eyes.
Ji Mo An began to let his thoughts wander.
Had the snake successfully picked up his companions? Had he found temporary accommodation? Was he short of money…?
Short of money.
Ji Mo An reached for his phone from the head of the bed. The last chat was still the location of the hotel the snake had sent him.
A rubbish hotel, the price of the best room wasn’t even a fraction of what he usually stayed in.
Should he call the hotel owner to find out which room the snake was staying in…? Ji Mo An narrowed his eyes and quickly abandoned the idea.
He should give the snake some more money, at least enough to stay in a decent place.
Although the snake currently had assets of 50,000, it was unlikely that he would be homeless, but what if he was scammed…? Ji Mo An rolled over and lay on his stomach, preparing to transfer money.
However, this roll over was a big deal, directly pressing the sleeping snake into the sheets.
Ji Mo An felt that something was wrong, and he quickly propped himself up to see a chopstick snake tumbling out of the blanket.
Xuan Bai hissed as he was pressed, opening his mouth, glaring, and shaking his head, looking frightened.
“…” Ji Mo An picked up the snake’s tail, his expression very interesting.
This snake had been here for a long time, and the snake’s body temperature was the same as his.
“Stick, stick ~” The chopstick snake hummed and crawled onto Ji Mo An’s wrist.
“Stick what stick.” Ji Mo An pressed the snake on the bed, “Where are your companions?”
“At the hotel.” The chopstick snake stuck out his tongue and licked Ji Mo An’s finger, looking shameless.
“Don’t worry about them, I’ll pick them up again in the afternoon.”
Forget it.
Anyway, he couldn’t sleep, Ji Mo An threw the snake into the quilt, changed his clothes, and walked into the bathroom.
“…”
Looking at the glass covered in water stains and half a pool of water, Ji Mo An was silent.
Congratulations to Mr. Ji Mo An for achieving a good score of 0.01 seconds in guessing ‘who messed up the sink’ in the non-prize quiz.
He really wanted to press the snake’s face against the mirror like a rag to wipe it clean…
A surge of impulse rose inexplicably in his heart.
“Stick stick ~” The snake, who had made a mistake, crawled in timidly, using his head to rub Ji Mo An’s ankle in a very humble manner.
“Why didn’t you clean up after making it dirty?” Ji Mo An knelt on one knee and pinched the snake’s face with two fingers.
The snake began to tear up.
Transforming back into a larger form after washing would likely cause a second collapse, requiring another wash and falling into a cycle.
“…” Ji Mo An looked at the snake’s pitiful appearance and finally sighed.
“Leave my sight in three seconds,” he flicked the snake’s head.
Xuan Bai rolled away nimbly, leaving Ji Mo An to clean the bathroom again.
In the morning, Ji Mo An stayed at home and processed the official business at the fastest speed and handed it over to Bai Yan for execution and follow-up management.
When he confirmed that the meeting had ended, Ji Mo An stretched his back and woke up the snake sleeping around his neck.
“You should go, I have an appointment with the Seventh Bureau for dinner,” he pinched the chopstick snake and shook it mercilessly.
“Kiss ~” Xuan Bai wagged his tail, and then was thrown directly out of the window by Ji Mo An.
“Bad guy!” The snake clung to the windowsill and hissed at him, then turned and burrowed into the dense greenery.
Ji Mo An, bad! Can’t stand the snake sleeping and slacking off! Big capitalist! Bad!
–
Su Nai gave Xuan Bai a room card, so the snake could open the door directly when he returned to the hotel.
At the first sight of pushing the door open, the snake saw two pink-haired loli wearing white skirts, holding hands and singing.
?
Where were his black-haired, black-eyed twins?
Xuan Bai closed the door and looked at the room number.
He hadn’t gone to the wrong place.
So he swiped the card again and walked in, this time seeing Thirteen’s opened wings.
His wings were very large, with a wingspan of over six meters when fully opened, almost cutting off the room directly.
“Wuwuwu ~” Seventeen and Eighteen hugged Xuan Bai’s legs from left and right, extremely happy.
“What are you doing?” The snake was a little puzzled, he walked into the room, and the two little ones hanging on his legs did not affect his walking at all.
“Aren’t we going to the Comic-Con in a while!” Fourteen suddenly stretched out his head from the wings.
At this moment, he had a head of purple hair pointing to the sky, wearing armor-like clothes.
“We are sticking feathers on Thirteen.” He held up a basket filled with white feathers.
“Thirteen has always wanted white wings, so I simply bought a few baskets of artificial fluff.” Fourteen turned sideways with a proud look, revealing Su Nai and Qing Teng, who were also sticking feathers.
Qing Teng was still the same as before, but Su Nai had changed into a black and red dress.
“Shasha!” Sandball Fifteen swung from the roof to Xuan Bai, showing Xuan Bai his sunglasses three hundred and sixty degrees.
“How is it how is it?” Fourteen looked at Xuan Bai expectantly.
“Not bad,” the snake nodded.
“Exotic Snake Bro, would you like a set too?” Fourteen blinked.
As soon as this was said, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Xuan Bai, even Thirteen was a little expectant.
“No,” the snake refused decisively.
“Wow, Exotic Snake Bro, you’re going to show up in your original skin!” Fourteen lowered his head dejectedly and continued to stick fluff.
What a strange title… Xuan Bai rolled his eyes and leaned against the door, quietly waiting for them to finish their makeup.
From this hotel, turn left one hundred meters to get to the subway, and you can directly reach the Comic-Con without a guide station.
Several people boasted about themselves in the room, but when they went out, they all shrank back and hid behind Xuan Bai.
Especially Thirteen, compared to the makeup of others, his wings were too conspicuous.
“I feel like they’re all looking at me.” Thirteen was a little nervous.
“It’s okay.” Xuan Bai comforted Thirteen with two words.
With the snake holding up the sky, what big deal could there be?
The shift in emotions began when the next cosplayer got on the subway.
Sharp-eyed Fourteen saw the white-haired cosplayer getting on the subway from fifty meters away and had already started to get excited.
As the train traveled, more and more cosplayers got on the train, each wearing character costumes and sporting colorful hairstyles.
The actual test subjects appeared ordinary.
When they arrived at the Comic-Con, they verified their tickets.
The test subjects looked curiously at the cosplayers passing by, marveling at every gorgeous dress.
“Teacher, can I get your autograph?” A beautiful girl walked up to them, looking at Su Nai with bright eyes.
“Boss, go!” Fourteen pushed Su Nai out, leaving Su Nai’s first group photo.
“My heart is beating so fast.” Su Nai pinched the material the girl gave her, her eyes widened, covering her chest.
“Hahahaha, Boss, your expression collapsed when you took the picture! Ouch!” Fourteen shrank under Thirteen’s wings and laughed, and then was stepped on by Su Nai.
“I like it here, I like it here!” Seventeen and Eighteen stretched out their hands and gestured, their pace changed from nervous walking to hopping.
“How cute!”
“Teacher, can I take a picture?”
“Thank you, thank you, you’re really too beautiful!”
In the voices of praise, the light in the eyes of the test subjects became brighter and brighter, and the smiles on their lips were no longer fake.
Gradually, the children gradually went from hiding behind the snake to walking in parallel with the snake, and in the countless praises, they walked in front of the snake.
Xuan Bai followed them slowly, occasionally using hints to cover up the flaws that appeared in several people.
It seemed they were going crazy playing. He wondered if they would be scared to cry when they saw the people from the Seventh Bureau later. The snake curled his lips evilly.
Suddenly, two figures intruded into the snake’s peripheral vision.
“Teacher, can I get your autograph? Are you doing a self-made cosplay? It’s really well-reproduced!” A girl with bright eyes looked at Xuan Bai expectantly, holding a golden laser card in her hand.
Autograph? Self-made?
The snake showed a meaningful smile, and his golden vertical pupils trembled slightly.
The girls were stunned for a moment, then passed by the snake with laughter, as if the question just now was an illusion.
No need, Xuan Bai took another step.
The snake didn’t need to appear in anyone’s memory, even passers-by. The snake didn’t want to integrate into this world, even if only a silhouette was left behind.
He was clearly standing in the middle of the bustling crowd, but seemed like a lonely passerby.
The alien creature walked on a foreign land, but only the only figure was reflected in his eyes.
The snake, smiled.
It was the most gentle smile, the most tender smile, lining the pair of golden pupils as bright as the sun.
Because Ji Mo An, came.
A man in a black suit was still outstanding among the colorful cosplayers, he looked around, seeming to be searching for something.
So the snake floated silently behind Ji Mo An, carefully holding the hem of his clothes.
“Brother, can I get your autograph?”
