"How can you prove what you're saying is true?" Xiao Feng asked.
Gu Wanrong seed to have been expecting this question, and imdiately replied, "There is an incense stick in the pocket inside my coat. You can take it out and try it."
Xiao Feng didn't rush to take it. First, he checked the ropes and straps to ensure the other party couldn't break free in an instant, and asked, "Left pocket or right pocket?"
"Right."
As soon as she answered, Xiao Feng pointed with his finger at the right side of his coat: "Is it here?"
"..." Gu Wanrong.
In fact, Xiao Feng really didn't have any indecent intentions, it was purely for safety considerations.
He looked around, his gaze locked on a pair of bamboo chopsticks on the nearby table, and reached for them.
"You..." Gu Wanrong was genuinely impressed.
She had seen cautious people, but this level of caution was unprecedented.
Xiao Feng reached out, undid two buttons on Gu Wanrong's collar, then inserted the chopsticks, attempting to clamp out the item from her pocket.
Gu Wanrong's eyes were filled with a mixture of sha and anger.
Xiao Feng was sowhat puzzled: "What does this an?"
"You, you!" Gu Wanrong angrily stated, "Why don't you just open my coat and check the pocket directly before using chopsticks?"
Xiao Feng squinted his eyes, smiled, and said, "If you hadn't said that, I might have planned to do so. But now that you've ntioned it, I feel there's sothing wrong here."
After finishing, he continued to clamp the item as originally planned!
Gu Wanrong struggled a bit, her eyes burning with fiery anger.
"Speak up, what do you really an?" Xiao Feng put down the chopsticks and scrutinized Gu Wanrong.
Gu Wanrong suddenly felt a strong desire to die, her ntal state on the verge of collapse, angrily saying, "I'm already tied up, what are you still worried about?"
"Better safe than sorry, haven't you heard of that saying?" Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows: "Besides, you say the item is in your pocket, but you won't let take it out, that clearly seems suspicious."
"Open my coat, precisely locate the pocket, then take action, okay?" Gu Wanrong pleaded in her tone.
Xiao Feng remained unmoved and picked up the chopsticks to proceed.
Gu Wanrong shrank back a little, sharply stating, "Why don't you just kill !"
"Do you have a virus in your brain?" Xiao Feng abruptly stood up, unable to help but vent his frustration: "If you wanted to die, why ss around with this?"
Gu Wanrong settled for less, with a sobbing tone, said: "Just undo one more button, only one, I'm begging you!"
Xiao Feng was instantly full of suspicion, squatted down again, pulled out a dagger, both vigilant and slowly severed the thread of the third button on Gu Wanrong's coat, then used the tip of the knife to spread the coat open.
"Such a small thing, couldn't you just say it directly?" Xiao Feng said with discontent.
Gu Wanrong's eyes flared up again, as if a bucket of oil had been poured onto the fire.
Was such a thing easily spoken of?
After confirming there was no danger again, Xiao Feng unbuttoned Gu Wanrong's coat entirely, but... still chose to use chopsticks to reach into her pocket.
Gu Wanrong, long accustod to this, said nothing and let him choose this ti-consuming thod to clamp out a rectangular box from her pocket.
Driven by the spirit of "caution", Xiao Feng did not touch the box directly with his hands. He found a towel to cushion it, examining it closely.
The box was just an ordinary box, with nothing special about it, not an antique.
"After opening, it's not poison gas inside, is it?" Xiao Feng tentatively asked.
Gu Wanrong took deep breaths continuously, suppressing the impulse to bump her head to death, and said, "Put the box in front of , I'll use my teeth to open it."
"That's not happening, what if you want to bite ?"
"I'll use my head."
"What if you headbutt ?"
"..." Gu Wanrong.
In the past, she wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death.
Soone could manage to make her experience what is called "worse than death" just by using words and unrelated actions, without punishnt.
Seeing her languid state, Xiao Feng flashed a bright smile, generously opened the box, as if the previous caution was rely a deliberate facade.
Inside the box lay an incense stick, around ten centiters long, indistinguishable from ordinary sandalwood in appearance.
"I'm very doubtful now if you are indeed soone from Devil's Concentration Camp." Xiao Feng stated slowly while staring at the person in front: "First of all, people from Devil's Concentration Camp wouldn't be like you."
"Secondly, they wouldn't have such a lack of intelligence."
Gu Wanrong glanced around with lifeless eyes, said weakly: "If you want to use this incense on , I advise you to drop the idea, it doesn't work on ."
"Oh, really?" Xiao Feng skeptically replied, "If it doesn't work, there has to be a reason, right? Did you take so antidote or wear sothing?"
Once he finished speaking, his gaze already targeted the Incense Bag-like accessory on Gu Wanrong's neck.
Gu Wanrong showed a flash of panic in her eyes, but quickly concealed it, feigning indifference: "If you like it, just take it."
"Alright, as you say." Xiao Feng unceremoniously stretched out his hand and removed the Incense Bag from her neck.
Despite being called an Incense Bag, it was much smaller than the usual ones seen. Moving closer, he could sll a faint scent of mint, seemingly having a refreshing effect, making the mind feel much clearer.
Xiao Feng didn't rush to light the incense.
The brief panic in Gu Wanrong's eyes wasn't missed by his keen senses.
This implies that the reason she can immune to the Confusing Fragrance is likely due to the Incense Bag on her neck.
Now, the consideration is to make Gu Wanrong mistakenly believe Xiao Feng is one of her kind?
Soon, Xiao Feng had an answer.
He wore the Incense Bag around his neck, then lit the incense, sat beside the bed, waiting for Gu Wanrong to fall under its influence.
"You... extinguish it, let's talk nicely. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you!" Gu Wanrong urgently said.
Xiao Feng shook his head: "No need, if the incense indeed works as you claim, I have ways to make you divulge the information I want."
Gu Wanrong wanted to say more but quickly began to feel dizzy.
Her gaze cut through the smoke, increasingly finding her opponent formidable.
Before coming to Jiangcheng, she had never heard there was such a formidable character here besides Yanhuang...
Wait!
Yanhuang?!
"You, you are…"
Yet, just as she spoke the opening, her consciousness sank into drowsiness, entering a state between sleep and awake.
