Lily had fair skin, with straight long hair falling on her chest. Her face was pale, and her melancholic eyes expressed a sense of sadness. The corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and a cold voice spoke again, "Thank you for saving us."
As she finished speaking, Lily's hand slowly intertwined with Brian's hand. David looked at Lily, feeling an indescribable sense of familiarity. It felt like he had seen this person somewhere before. Familiar, yet unfamiliar.
"David, this kid said his girlfriend's nickname includes the character 'mei'..." Arnold leaned in close to David's ear and whispered.
Before David could respond, Lily smiled and calmly said, "My nickname includes the character 'mei,' and Brian calls me that." As she spoke, her hand touched Brian's palm, and his tightly furrowed brow relaxed.
Upon hearing Lily's words, David's eyes brightened. A nickname with the character 'mei'--why did that sound so familiar? In the previous life, there was a girl in his team who had such a nickname. She joined the team later, and instead of telling them her nickname, she insisted on being called 'xiao mei' .
And that girl happened to be a healing-type esper. Having a healing-type esper in the team was highly valued. But the good times didn't last long. At that time, the crystals needed for healing abilities were in short supply. In a wave of zombies, xiao mei sacrificed herself. Several other brothers also died in that wave.
David carefully observed Lily once again, and when he saw the faint mole beside her eye, he became even more certain. Although Meimei from the previous life didn't have that mole when she joined the team, David saw it clearly one night when he caught her secretly crying. It seemed like she covered the mole with something.
Feeling David's gaze on the mole beside her eye, Lily felt slightly uncomfortable. She walked behind Brian as if to say something, but David spoke first. "You're a healing-type esper, aren't you?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as the words fell, both Lily and Brian's expressions turned solemn. She was shielded by Brian, who spoke cautiously, "What do you want?"
Seeing Brian's protective stance, David faintly smiled. "If I wanted to take your girlfriend away, I would have done it already. I don't need to wait until now."
Brian's face froze. He wanted to say something, but Lily cautiously peeked out from behind him and asked in a low voice, "I'm a healing-type esper. What do you want?"
"Lily!" Seeing Lily expose their identities, Brian became anxious. But when his eyes met Lily's, he immediately faltered.
How interesting. David watched their interaction and shook his head helplessly. He turned around, walking and saying, "Follow me."
Brian and Lily exchanged glances for a few seconds, and in the end, Lily took the initiative and asked Brian to follow. Before leading the two into the room, David squatted in front of the zombie he had just killed and took out the mutated crystal from its forehead.
Considering the tremendous power and the burnt smell of lightning, David speculated that this particular zombie was of the lightning attribute. He gently cut open its forehead with a knife, exposing a purple crystal.
David felt delighted and quickly took out the purple crystal. It was indeed of the lightning attribute! Unfortunately, this zombie seemed to have just mutated and had forgotten to use its lightning ability when things got intense. The purple crystal, once absorbed by Sally, would give her a considerable boost.
With a thought, David stored the purple crystal in his space.
[You obtained a mid-level crystal, critical hits increased by 100,000! ]
[Congratulations! You obtained 100,000 mid-level crystals! ]
[Quest: Apocalypse Reserves! ]
"The apocalypse is approaching. Please collect usable resources to the best of your ability and store them in the emergency storage space! During this quest, all resources stored by you will receive a 100,000x critical hit bonus. Remaining quest time: 0 days, 1 hour, 0 minutes."
There was only one hour left for the 100,000x critical hit bonus. In this final hour, he wouldn't be able to collect much.
"You are a spatial esper," Lily's voice suddenly sounded.
David didn't turn his head, just made an affirmative sound and stood up, leading the two into the room.
"David!" Sally's eyes lit up as she saw David return. She quickly walked towards him and hugged his arm.
The next second, when she saw Lily entering the room, her expression immediately turned wary. But in the second after that, when Brian walked in and held Lily's hand, Sally visibly relaxed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter closing the door, David took out a green mid-level crystal from the space. Lily and Brian's eyes widened when they saw the green crystal.
Before Lily could finish speaking, David silently put the crystal away. He had thought that he would have to wait a long time before he could use the healing crystal, but it unexpectedly came to him with a rare healing esper.
Even without a healing esper, David's team was already strong. Having a healing esper would make them even stronger. "I can provide you with the crystal, but my condition is that you and your boyfriend must be loyal and follow me."
After David finished speaking, the expressions of the two suddenly changed. Lily's face alternated between pale and red, and she tightly clenched her clothes corner, showing hesitation. However, just like healing crystals, healing espers were also rare. Even in their previous organization, they didn't have any healing crystals. If they refused David now, they might never have another chance.
"But..." Lily frowned and glanced at Brian.
Brian gently patted Lily's hand and whispered, "It's okay, leave it to me."
Turning his head, Brian said to David, "We also have a condition."
David raised an eyebrow and said, "Go ahead."
"You can't treat Lily as a slave," Brian's words came out, and Sophie immediately added, "Young man, how could we possibly treat a girl as a slave? You and her can stay with David."
Sophie's words didn't reach Brian's ears; he wanted to hear David's answer himself. And David simply smiled and agreed, "No problem."
David wouldn't treat a healing esper as a slave. Upon hearing his response, Lily and Brian didn't show excessive happiness but nodded calmly. "We will stay, and in return..."
Brian's words were interrupted by David. "You can choose any room around here. As for food and other supplies, they will be distributed every day at 7 am unless there are unexpected circumstances."
