When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 985 - 379: Micro City 3

Both of their gazes involuntarily looked towards the door interior, and with one glance, their expressions slightly stiffened.

A person was unexpectedly inside the hall, bending over to light a lamp. Upon seeing Li Xiu and A Fei, his expression mirrored theirs, filled with astonishment, even forgetting to light the lamp oil with the match in his hand.

The key point was, Li Xiu and A Fei knew this person; he was the very one who earlier blocked them on the street, the micro man.

This was a bit awkward. A Fei and Li Xiu exchanged a glance, intending to silence him.

"Stop right there." The person suddenly called out in a low voice, causing A Fei and Li Xiu, who were about to act, to freeze.

He spoke in human language, which not only Li Xiu understood but A Fei understood as well.

"So you're also one of us. Earlier you pretended to be deaf and mute and really fooled me," the person exclaimed with an "ouch," shaking his hand vigorously, burned by the match.

"You two are really daring, coming to Micro City without understanding micro man language. If exposed, it's a dead end, no one can save you," he said, lighting an oil lamp on the table with another match.

Li Xiu and A Fei stared at him, momentarily unable to discern whether he was a micro man, Demon Kingdom inhabitant, or Earth human, thus remained silent.

He seemed quite talkative, pursing his lips and saying, "What are you pretending for? No micro men will come here. As long as there's no big disturbance, it's safe."

The person lifted the oil lamp, shining it toward the wall inside the room. "You're here for the Miniature Map, aren't you? Since we share the same goal, let's search together. But there's a priority; I've been undercover in Micro City for years, finally traced the Miniature Map's whereabouts, came during Whisper Festival to find it, so the original map must be mine. However, finding your way here, you surely faced hardships and took great risks pretending to be deaf. You can make a copy to take with you; what's crucial with the Miniature Map is the content. As long as the content is correct, whether it's the original map or not makes no difference. If not for needing to report back, the originality wouldn't matter to me either."

"Who are you reporting to?" Li Xiu asked.

He knew that the person talked so much not out of loquacity, but to avoid Li Xiu and A Fei stirring up trouble and alerting the micro men outside.

"It's not necessary for you to know. Just tell me whether you two accept my proposal," the person said.

Li Xiu immediately sensed danger. He forcibly suppressed the urge to turn and look at A Fei, adopting a nonchalant demeanor.

Even without turning, Li Xiu could feel A Fei's gaze fixed on him.

"Alright, we can accept your proposal, but once we find the Miniature Map, we must view it together." Li Xiu didn't know what the Miniature Map was but feared further conversation would lead to difficulties.

"Straightforward, deal," the person extended his hand toward Li Xiu, smiling, "Let's get acquainted. I'm Yang Tianxiao, you can call me Old Yang or Yang Bro, given your age, you're probably younger than me."

Li Xiu wasn't afraid to reveal his name but worried Yang Tianxiao might continue talking, so he pretended indifferently, "No time for nonsense, finding the Miniature Map is urgent. Do you know where it is?"

"I only heard the Miniature Map is within this residence, but the exact location we'll have to search together. It's imperative we hurry. If the Whisper Festival ends before we find it, we must leave immediately; even if we do find the Miniature Map, there's no exit here," Yang Tianxiao explained.

"Why can't we leave?" Li Xiu asked with a furrowed brow.

"You don't know only during the Whisper Festival does Micro City's micro light defense system temporarily halt? Then how did you decide to come here now?" Yang Tianxiao expressed surprise.

Li Xiu truly didn't know this. He only gathered from the information that this period was the only entry opportunity, prompting him first to come to Micro City, planning to seize the chance to kill the suppressed mythical demon spirit, then proceed to other Lands of Trial.

"It's okay if you didn't know; since we're here, splitting up saves time. Hopefully, the Miniature Map is found before the Whisper Festival concludes, bringing mutual benefits," Yang Tianxiao pointed outside. "This residence has three courtyards. We'll each search one, contacting the others immediately upon finding something, no monopolizing."

"Alright, we'll search this courtyard. You head to the others," Li Xiu said.

This was the main courtyard. If anything was here, it was likely, especially with the suppressed demon spirit present, requiring entry from here.

"Fine, I'll search the other courtyards. I'm a trustworthy person, said shared, it'll be shared. Don't break the trust," Yang Tianxiao said as he exited the door, heading toward the left courtyard.

"I'll keep watch for you, hurry with the demon spirit," A Fei said, leaving the room.

Li Xiu nodded, turned, and entered the inner room.

Yang Tianxiao had just entered the door when he heard a sound behind him, turned around to see A Fei, and smiled wryly, "You two are truly suspicious. If you think the Miniature Map is in this courtyard, I'll search another, okay?"

"What did you write on the street with him earlier?" A Fei stopped Yang Tianxiao, preventing him from heading to another courtyard.

"Don't misunderstand, it's not pretending to be a fake micro man, following their rules. Whisper Festival is their mate selection and reproduction holiday. I saw your beauty wouldn't have picked me; I needed your rejection to disappear temporarily without raising suspicion. Who'd expect the coincidence of choosing you? I grieve not knowing you're married, with three daughters and two sons, and moreover…"

At this point, Yang Tianxiao paused, observing A Fei's expression.

"Moreover what?" A Fei asked expressionlessly.
