Chapter 23 Not worthy of being a human being(1/2)
"Baby crying?"
Zhou Xinyi looked into Jiang Yi's eyes. He rarely saw such direct anger in Jiang Yi's eyes.
Even when the Zhu tribe was being suppressed and beaten by monsters, Jiang Yi remained calm for the most part.
"Official Li Puer has never been married," or in other words, he has never been married seriously. He has had too many affairs and one-night stands to count. "Where did the baby come from?"
Is it possible that he is an illegitimate child? But if he is an illegitimate child, he has been exposed so much dirty information. An illegitimate child is not worthy of his being so nervous.
But as a veteran successor, Jiang Yi's ears were much better than his, and he did not doubt that Jiang Yi would hear wrongly.
He asked Jiang Yi, "Can you find the specific location?"
Jiang Yi nodded, "I'll take you there."
Li Puer's heart was filled with turmoil. The moment he heard that a judge was visiting, he had already hidden "them" deep in the mansion. How on earth did this woman's ears grow, and how could she still be able to hear?!
Seeing the two people standing up, Li Pu also stood up immediately. This time, he was not afraid of Jiang Yi beside him and stood in front of them angrily, "Your Majesty, I accept your ruling, but please forgive me for my family's private matters."
I won’t show it to your honor!”
The more things are covered up, the more mysterious they become. How could the greedy Li Puer give up his official title because of ordinary private matters at home?
Zhou Xinyi stared at him, "Are you sure it's just a private matter?"
Although he asked rhetorically, Li Puer knew that he had guessed it, so he warned fiercely, "You'd better think about the consequences."
Before Zhou Xinyi could speak, Jiang Yi rushed forward and kicked the helpless Li Puer, "I'll screw you!"
She was in high spirits.
The emperor is never afraid of provocation!
"..." No matter how handsome Jiang Yi's movements are, Zhou Xinyi can always feel a not-so-smart temperament from her.
Li Puer fell to the ground. He didn't get up immediately, but grabbed the cup on the table, threw it on the ground and broke it!
Breaking a cup as a sign?
The moment Zhou Xinyi's idea appeared, the three craftsmen hiding in the dark, like poisonous snakes waiting for an opportunity, bit him!
Zhou Xinyi finally understood why Weir could recognize his identity at a glance. Even though he wore the same clothes and lived in the same city, when the heir stood next to the aborigines, he could recognize his difference at a glance.
Among those three craftsmen, one is the successor!
Jiang Yi's intuition was sharper than Zhou Xinyi's. The moment the three people pounced on her, she directly ignored the two aboriginals and looked at the successor mixed in with her sharp eyes.
"You accept such a commission? Then it's not a pity for you to die!"
"Dragon Breath!"
The bursting black crystals rushed straight towards the successor. In the blink of an eye, the sharp crystals had penetrated the roof, leaving behind a spectacular black pillar!
Then, several broken crystals fell down, and the heir's clothes were damaged, but he was not seriously injured.
He wiped the corners of his mouth angrily, "It's all for profit, who cares who this idiot is?"
Jiang Yi let out a "hum" and turned around to catch the swords of the two aborigines.
These three people are obviously Li Puer's "trump cards" left in the mansion in order to deal with powerful enemies and emergencies. It must be said that their strength cannot be underestimated.
Although the two aborigines were no match for Jiang Yi, they were able to catch Jiang Yi's attack and slow down her pace.
And that successor was on par with Jiang Yi.
Seeing them, Zhou Xinyi had to be thankful that he did not impulsively re-enter Master Ji An's tower to complete the assassination mission, but chose to consider the long term.
Master Ji An's defense is only much better than that of Li Puer, and he can be sure that this is by no means the highest echelon of Jizhou City's overall combat power, not even the second echelon.
At this moment, Jiang Yi was fighting with the three men. Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Zhou Xinyi immediately ran towards Li Puer.
The heir noticed the situation here and escaped to attack, but Jiang Yi was already close behind.
"Dragon Breath!"
Black crystals spurted out, and a chasm suddenly separated him from Zhou Xinyi!
Because of this moment of delay, Zhou Xinyi's gun successfully hit Li Puer's head.
He said loudly, "Let these people stand down!"
Li Puer was shocked, and shouted in fear and panic, "Back off! Back off!"
The battle on Jiang Yi's side was stopped by the situation here, and the two aborigines nervously dropped their weapons.
The successor is not loyal to Li Puer, and will not do the equivalent of self-disarming, "You let him go."
Zhou Xinyi raised his eyebrows, "Facts have proved that choosing a reliable client is still very important."
"Lest this idiot get into trouble and die, and you won't even get paid."
"...Don't kill him."
"It all depends on your performance," Zhou Xinyi said with a gun in one hand and Li Pu'er in the other. "Is life more important, or is the secret more important?"
Li Pu'er's face was ashen and speechless.
"Jiang Yi, let's find the place where the noise came from."
With a gun pointed at his head, Li Puer did not stop him, but was taken to the depths of the mansion with a dull look on his face.
He specially built a darkroom under the bed in a guest room. As for why he didn't build it under the bed in his own bedroom, Zhou Xinyi felt that he might have a guilty conscience and was afraid of encountering ghosts in his dreams.
Walking into the guest room, even Zhou Xinyi could clearly hear the disturbing sounds.
"What's inside?" Zhou Xinyi asked.
"One... some attempts..." Li Pu said with a sad face, refusing to be more specific, for fear that Zhou Xinyi would kill him with a single shot.
Jiang Yize listened carefully for a while and said, "Don't worry, it's not something dangerous."
As she spoke, she cut the bed in half and pried open something like an entrance under the floor.
Resentful cries suddenly filled the entire residence of official Li Puer like the wind rushing out of a tunnel.
Several people jumped down in turn, and even the successor hired by Li Puer followed.
The first thing they saw were a dozen children placed in cages. The oldest was about ten years old and the youngest was seven or eight years old.
In the dark and claustrophobic environment, the children cried while exhibiting behaviors that were inappropriate for their age, such as biting their fingers, drooling, and crying like babies.
Zhou Xinyi noticed that most of them were paralyzed in their lower limbs, and they would make sharp barks like puppies due to pain.
"What's going on?"
Seeing these huge iron cages, Zhou Xinyi suddenly remembered a sentence that the hotel proprietress accidentally mentioned:
There have been a lot of missing children recently.
So he was sent here?!
Jiang Yi looked straight at a child. Not only did she stare, but she also frowned in confusion.
There seemed to be something very puzzling to her about these children. In order to clarify these doubts, she reached out to one of the children.
Bang!
The cage made a loud noise due to the child's violent movements. The boy stretched out his hand from the cage and grabbed it like a claw, and finally hit the cage pillar painfully.
He bared his teeth and let out a fierce, drawn-out cry: "Meow——!!"
Meow??
This sound seemed a bit funny in such an occasion, and Zhou Xinyi suddenly felt as if his brain had been shocked.
The boy was hunched over. If he had a tail, it would be almost hairy. He stared wide-eyed, but he didn't understand why there was still darkness in front of him. He could only rely on instinct to let out a shocking "ha".
"Ha" sound.
He behaves like a cat!
Zhou Xinyi felt as if his brain had been hit by a hammer, and thought in shock - no, he is like a cat entering a human body!
These children have had their souls replaced!
He scanned the other cages in shock and could even see the characteristics of other animals from other children! Dogs, cats, rabbits, even parrots, orangutans...
Although this era was tens of thousands of years ago, the genetic chain made these animals still look like he could recognize them!
Zhou Xinyi felt extremely angry.
When he saw the cat-like boy, with his eyes wide open, relying on the memory of his childhood, he opened his voice and let out a cry that was shriller than a cat's meow: "Meow...Mom...Mom..."
Anger reaches its extreme!
Even in the civilization of tens of thousands of years ago, the ugliness of human nature has not changed at all!
Zhou Xinyi pushed Li Pu against the wall and hit his head hard on the cold wall!
"You're done! Li Puer, you are not worthy of being an official, or even worthy of continuing to live in this world!"
In the pages of the notebook, black lines are about to move.
"I really want to kill you with my own hands!"
To be continued...
