~(＾◇^)/The sky is big and the earth is big, eating is the biggest

After Annie was assassinated for the second time, Shi Qiang disappeared for two full days, and he didn't know why he was there.

Then it wasn't until the dusk of the third day that he appeared again in the huge Jiangnan garden in the mountains, which was like a city park. He appeared in front of Annie and became her bodyguard again.

Here comes the attendant and life manager.

"??"

(.)

When she saw the other party reappearing at the door, and then looking at the exhausted look of the other party who had not woken up, Annie, who was originally playing a console game with a game controller in the Chinese-modern and antique-style hall, couldn't help but

Curiously, he pressed the pause button and turned to the other party and asked:

"What's wrong?"

(_)

"Uncle Shi, what have you been busy with these past two days? Why are you back now and looking so bad?"

()

Anne was just asking, she had no intention of approaching him.

Because, the other party had that strong smell of cigarette smoke, and that was the reason why the other party was just leaning against the ancient door made of precious mahogany, and did not run into the living room and sit down with a wink.

one.

"well--"

"What else can you do?"

"The female sniper who assassinated you the day before yesterday went to attend and interrogate. She came back at noon, and then took a little sleep before coming to see you."

As he spoke, Shi Qiang couldn't help but yawned. Shi Qiang, who seemed to have not slept enough, took out a cigarette and bit it, then took out a lighter and was about to light it.

"..."

But he quickly remembered something, and turned to look at Annie's little figure who turned back to play the game, and then he put away the lighter with some regret.

However, although he did not light the cigarette, he still bit the filter paper and took a strong puff, as if that would refresh him and relieve his craving.

"What did the trial reveal? Did she confess?"

-

(゜-゜)

Hearing that this was the case, Annie suddenly turned her head and glanced at it and asked, then turned back to nervously operating her game character.

She had heard about it at that time. It was said that the person who assassinated her was a beautiful girl riding a motorcycle?

It's a pity that the opponent failed to escape successfully and was intercepted and knocked over by an armored vehicle on the way. If the opponent hadn't been wearing protective gear and a helmet, he would have died on the spot.

"Of course I told you!"

"It wasn't that difficult. She was just a young man in his twenties, who thought it would be cool to be a killer with good marksmanship. But in the end, we just gave her a few scares, but she didn't show any real intentions and she used all her moves!"

After playing with the cigarette in his hand that he didn't dare to light and putting it to his nose to smell the rich fragrance, Shi Qiang shook his head and continued:

"But that's no use!"

"There is no valuable information on her. The person who hired her should be a senior executive of ETO, but she ran away long ago and was not caught!"

"I guess Tomoko tipped off the other party in advance, right?"

"Tsk!"

"Anyway, our people rushed to nothing. Hundreds of people were dispatched, but in the end we didn't catch a single hair!"

"What a damn bad luck!"

Having said this, Shi Qiang couldn't help but cursed and lamented.

"I don't know how many sophons the Trisolarans have put on the earth. I'm afraid every move we make is under the surveillance of the other party. This is really too passive!"

"If Tomoko hadn't tipped off the other party, at our speed, we would have been able to capture at least one or two important people in ETO, right?"

"What a pity..."

"I don't know if there are those things watching here. It's terrible just thinking about it..."

At this point, Shi Qiang suddenly stopped. He didn't bother to smell the cigarette to relieve his addiction. Instead, he glanced around the living room and outside with a solemn expression, as if he wanted to find traces of the existence of the 'Sophon'.

.

But unfortunately, it is no easier for him to use his mortal body to see microscopic particles like sophons than it is to find a bacterium with his naked eyes.

Therefore, even though he opened his eyes and looked at every corner, he still found nothing unusual in the end.

"Don't worry!"

(｀)

"Stop looking for me, Tomoko doesn't dare hang around other people's houses!"

(゜▽^*)

After noticing the other party's movements and random glances, Annie turned her head once again and gave Uncle Shi a playful expression and comforted him.

"I hope..."

"I hope it's really afraid of you!"

Shaking his head, Shi Qiang didn't completely believe it, but he didn't completely disbelieve it either. He still had that solemn expression on his face.

"Right!"

(˙o˙)

"Uncle Shi, since you are back, can we go out to play now?"

(ì_í)

"I've been staying here and playing games for the past two days, and I'm getting a little bored!"

┐(‘～`；)┌

"Let's go out and catch some game!"

()

With that said, Annie threw away the game controller and turned to look at Shi Qiang impatiently, hoping that they could go out together to have some fun in the deep mountains and old forests.

She discovered a group of wild boars a few days ago, and she didn't know if they were delicious or not. Since she was free today, of course she was going to try them.

"ah?"

"Still going out?"

Hearing this, Shi Qiang was startled, and then he couldn't help but hesitate.

"But……"

"It's almost time for dinner now..."

Although he said that, he didn't dare to refuse Anne's request, so he had to persuade her like this with some embarrassment:

"Besides, I can't guarantee that if I go outside, I won't encounter assassination from those madmen from ETO again..."

"They're just afraid they haven't given up yet?"

The previous serial assassinations coupled with the previous sniper attack, anyway, Shi Qiang did not think that ETO and Tomoko would give up easily and would not launch a third attack on Anne.

"Is it almost time for dinner?"

(﹏)

"!!"

()

Hearing this, Anne quickly looked towards the exquisite decorative clock in the hall, and then she saw that the current time was almost 18:30!

"Yeah! It really is!"

(ノ△.)

"I forgot to check the time."

(_-)

She had just been focused on playing games, but she didn't expect that so much time had passed without her realizing it. It was almost dinner, and it would obviously be inappropriate to run out at this time.

"All right!"

ε=(ο｀*)))Alas

"Then let's not go play today!"

(▽`)

So, between going out for fun and having a delicious dinner, thinking of the almost different dishes prepared by those top chefs, Anne chose the latter without hesitation, preparing to enjoy a good meal.
