Upon hearing it was a new customer, Sheng Jiu jumped to her feet and rushed upstairs!
Her hand was already on the doorknob when she hesitated and asked, "Is it safe?"
[Safety guaranteed. If necessary, the customer will be physically eliminated.]
Sheng Jiu: ?
No, just kick the customer out!
She didn't want to be implicated in someone's death for no reason!
Knowing the system would guarantee her safety, Sheng Jiu confidently opened the door.
But a cold, gleaming knife was suddenly thrust towards her.
Along with the sharp knife came a low, hoarse voice: "Don't move!"
Sheng Jiu: ???
No!!!
What happened to the safety you promised?!
The knife was pointed directly at Sheng Jiu's throat. She even suspected that if she had retreated even a step later, the knife would have been stuck in her neck.
[…We have a protective barrier.]
Hearing the system's reminder, Sheng Jiu's wildly beating heart calmed down a little.
She didn't close the door immediately, because…
The person pointing the knife at her, after saying "Don't move," fell straight onto her.
And along with the person…
A sharp knife.
Last time Ares fell, Sheng Jiu kindly tried to help him up.
But this time, Sheng Jiu nimbly dodged, causing the person to fall to the ground with a thud.
The sound alone was painful!
However, Sheng Jiu felt no sympathy whatsoever.
After he fell, she even ran to the bathroom, grabbed cleaning gloves, put them on, and then grabbed his clothes, ready to throw him out!
She didn't want a violent customer!
There are countless customers, if one doesn't work out, we'll find another.
If he's gone, there are others!
[He has the communicator parts Ares and the others need.]
The system explained this when it saw Sheng Jiu's actions.
Sheng Jiu paused in her grasping motion: "...He's also from interstellar space?"
[Yes.]
Upon hearing the system's words, Sheng Jiu hesitated for a moment.
Then, as if suddenly coming back to life, the man reached out as if to grab something.
Seeing that things were not going well, Sheng Jiu suddenly produced a force from nowhere pushed the person away.
Sheng Jiu's plan was to quickly throw the man out and close the door!
However, the man was too tall!
Sheng Jiu struggled to throw the man's upper body out, but his long legs were still stuck inside the door.
The door was blocked by the long legs and couldn't be closed!
Sheng Jiu: ...
How about…
Sawing off the legs?
Realizing the terrifying thought that had crossed her mind, Sheng Jiu shook her head frantically: "Crazy, crazy! It must be because I cut too many octopus tentacles this afternoon."
This is a human leg!
The man, who had initially been somewhat conscious, was completely knocked unconscious by Sheng Jiu's rough throw.
Well, he's completely passed out.
Sheng Jiu was worried and didn't dare look.
But leaving him lying like this in the doorway wasn't a good idea!
"He's dead?" Sheng Jiu asked the system as she struggled to lift the other person's long legs, preparing to throw him away.
[No, he just fainted.]
[It wasn't from hunger, it was from injury.]
Sheng Jiu thought, she's not a doctor, she can't save him, so why not just throw him away and leave him alone!
What?
To stand by and watch him die, how could she be so heartless?
Don't you see, he tried to kill her!
The first time they met, that knife almost pierced her neck.
And you expect her to save him?
No way!
But, he still had the communicator parts Ares needed…
Thinking of all this, Sheng Jiu stopped what she was doing and began to undress the other person and check his belongings.
When Ares arrived, he saw Sheng Jiu tearing at the other party's clothes.
Ares: ?!
Ah this...
Sheng Jiu also heard footsteps and looked up to find Ares staring at her incredulously.
Sheng Jiu: ?
No, listen to my excuse! No, I mean, explain!
No!
What am I supposed to explain?
I'm looking for spare parts for you!
Sheng Jiu paused for a moment, then pointed to the still unconscious man: "Didn't you say you needed spare parts to repair the communicator or the AI? He looks a lot like you guys, may be he has some."
As Ares watched the man's clothes being undone, revealing his chest, and his belt being loosened, revealing the corner of his underwear, he felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.
He should be thankful that he woke up quickly after fainting from hunger!
Otherwise, he probably would have been stripped naked too, right?
Thinking of all this, Ares swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "How about... I do it?"
Ares had just delivered the food and was about to come over when he heard something unusual. After checking with his teammates, they found that the unusual activity had stopped, so they returned to the camp.
Because of the unusual situation, Ares was worried about Sheng Jiu. After briefly explaining to his teammates that they might be killing mutated octopuses that night, he rushed over.
And indeed, something was amiss!
However, that person…
He looked somewhat familiar.
As Ares spoke, he moved closer, naturally taking over from Sheng Jiu and pulling at the man's clothes a little more.
But it was impossible to strip him completely naked.
Ares himself didn't care, they were both men, and he had everything he had, so he wasn't curious.
But Sheng Jiu was a girl!
If he really stripped him naked, she would be so embarrassed!
If it weren't for finding spare parts, Sheng Jiu wouldn't have wanted to directly strip a strange man of his clothes.
Now that someone else had taken over, she naturally withdrew.
To show her disgust, she even moved the man's other leg out of the room as well.
Seeing this, Ares nodded: "Little Boss, you did the right thing. This man is called Paul, and he is... an interstellar space pirate with a notorious reputation throughout the interstellar space."
At this point, Ares hesitated slightly: "...Although he may not be particularly bad in nature, but he has very poor principles and a very low bottom line."
Pirate?
Sheng Jiu felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this word.
No wonder.
He drew his knife the moment they met!
After hearing this, Sheng Jiu turned and went back to the bathroom, grabbed a mop, and began mopping the area near the doorway.
Her place is dirty!
Waah, that damned pirate!
Watching Sheng Jiu's actions, Ares wanted to laugh, but fearing he would anger the little girl, he tried his best to hold it in.
He searched Paul's entire body three times, but found nothing useful.
Ares frowned slightly. Could it be...?
The other person also arrived on the desolate planet by accident, without bringing anything?
He uncertainly ran his hands over Paul's entire body again.
Sheng Jiu: ...
I'm mopping the floor, I'm mopping and mopping and mopping!
After looking at Paul, Ares turned his gaze to Paul's sword, which gleamed with a cold light.
If someone who didn't know the truth came and saw the sword, they would think it was a child's toy.
Because its material looks very shiny, and it actually glows!
It has a shimmering blue light, giving it a sparkly, bling-bling feel.
Of course, someone who has had it pressed against their neck can't say it's cute.
Sheng Jiu muttered to herself as she mopped the floor.
