Chapter 204: Transmigrated into the Cat Tribe Leader of the Beast World (23)
"I want you to help me investigate Xu Gu's situation."
Quan Si withdrew his hand, still with a smile on his face.
Although he did not touch her physically, this action made Shen Sijin blush and his heart beat like thunder.
"But he no longer trusts me." Shen Sijin told the truth. After all, things became so awkward in front of everyone last time.
"I don't mean for you to go back to him." Quan Si looked at him. Through Shen Sijin's sea-blue eyes, he could see into his heart and sense some of his thoughts.
"I know what you are worried about," he fiddled with the messy hair on his forehead, narrowed his eyes, and exuded a lazy charm. "Your mother is in poor health, and you are worried about her. This is your weakness, so you cherish your life more."
Shen Sijin was shocked.
I didn't expect that he would see me so clearly.
From the first moment he saw him, he knew that the young leader he was about to serve was not a simple person.
"Xu Gu has been too honest recently. This is not in line with his style."
Under normal circumstances, with Xu Gu's personality, after being humiliated in front of everyone last time, he would definitely hold a grudge and do something evil in secret.
But it's been almost a month and there's still no movement.
"It's really strange. He is vindictive. Anyone who displeases him will be severely whipped by him and he will not stop until the person is humiliated to death." Shen Sijin said, and his hands hanging by his side clenched into fists.
Countless times before, he had seen those young tribesmen die at Xu Gu's hands, but he was powerless to do anything. And this hatred could only be silently accumulated in his heart, with nowhere to vent.
"I can see that you hate him. In this respect, you and I are very similar. This guy is full of bad qualities."
"I will send someone to go with you. You don't have to be gone for too long, two days will be enough. Come back and report to me on the details."
Half an hour later.
Shen Sijin looked at the two men and one woman in front of him.
Yanzhi was the nicest to him and was smiling at him.
Looking at the other two, Mo Lan rolled his eyes at least five times since he saw him just now, while Jin Chou remained silent and had a cold face.
"..."The four of them are going to stay together like this for two days?
"Mo Lan, your expression." Quan Si moved his fingertips.
When Mo Lan saw his action, he knew that he was going to hit someone, so he reflexively shrank his neck and became obedient in an instant.
Only power can control him.
"Mr. Shen is extremely intelligent. He will be the team leader of this operation. The other three of you must listen to him." Quan Si gave the order.
"Yes." The three said in unison.
Mo Lan agreed on the surface, but he was not convinced in his heart.
In his opinion, Shen Sijin was just a frail young man, who was definitely not as strong as him. With his thin body, what great achievements could he make?
Soon, he will be slapped in the face.
Jin Chou was the most obedient. He was always the first one to do whatever Quan Si said and never complained.
Not to mention Yanzhi. Since the end of the dinner, her favorability towards Quan Si has skyrocketed.
Whenever the young leader said something to her, the little girl would blush for a long time, like a boiling kettle.
*
Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
Fortunately, all four returned safely.
Mo Lan's attitude towards Shen Sijin has changed a lot.
During these two days, they were almost discovered by Xu Gu's men several times, and it was Shen Si who found ways to defuse the crisis.
To be honest, if he hadn't been the team leader in command, their operation might not have been so smooth.
"Please report." Quan Si sat in the center, his hands naturally placed on the table, with his hands folded.
Yanzhi: The patriarch is so handsome——
I really want to stick close to him.
"The apparent peace of the southern tribes is all a disguise," Shen Sijin said slowly, "In the past two days, we have explored as many places as possible and discovered something unusual."
"The number of people in the tribe is getting smaller and smaller, as if they disappeared out of thin air." When he said this, Shen Sijin's tone became a little heavier.
"After careful investigation, we found the problem."
"Every time Xu Gu summoned his men in, he would say something like absorption or ritual, and..."
"Although his room is cleaned regularly every day, there has been a smell of blood that is difficult to conceal recently. The smell is so strong that even cleaning cannot cover it up."
Bloody smell?
Having said that, Quan Si immediately understood.
He had seen it in an ancient book before, where the tribesmen were tortured to death and then their blood was sucked and their flesh was eaten.
This extremely horrific torture is called a "ritual".
Ancient books say that this method can improve strength to a certain extent and allow people to gain endless power.
I think Xu Gu also read that ancient book.
But, apparently, he didn't see the end.
At the end, there is a sentence: All the records in this book have not been put into practice, so please do not take them seriously. If you are overly obsessed with the pursuit of power, it will be counterproductive.
"Idiot." Quan Si sneered.
The sudden words left everyone confused.
'Xiaowu, take out the tenth book from the left on the third shelf of my bookshelf.'
Because not all the statements recorded in this book were incredible, Quan Si did not throw it away.
Unexpectedly, it would come in handy today.
Diamond 250 was feeling bored, but suddenly heard his host say this, and immediately became alert, [Got it, got it~]
Hey, it’s finally its turn to show up!
Suddenly, a furry little thing ran out of Quan Si's pocket.
It has amazing bounce ability and reaches the bookshelf in just a few steps.
He nimbly pulled out a book with his little paws, then grunted and carried it all the way to Quan Si.
"Chief, this little mouse is very smart." Mo Lan reached out to touch it.
Diamond Idiot got an electric shock as if he had been electrocuted. He bared his teeth and made a fierce gesture towards him.
Actually, not a bit fierce.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp--" I am a squirrel!
You uncle’s a rat, your whole family is a rat!
Yanzhi's eyes lit up, "So cute, Chief, can I touch it?"
"Whatever you want." Quan Si lifted the soft flesh on Diamond Idiot's neck and brought it to Yanzhi in just a few moves.
Being stared at by the beautiful sister, Diamond turned into a shy and well-behaved mouse in seconds, blinking affectionately, looking very shy and pretentious.
Quan Si glanced at it and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Shameful.
Yanzhi Lushu said she was very happy. She didn't expect the little squirrel to be so well-behaved.
[Hey, beautiful lady, I like you~]
It narrowed its eyes, wishing it could throw itself into Yanzhi's arms.
Seeing this scene, Mo Lan's face was filled with black lines.
Not only did the clan leader not get close to him, but even this rat didn't get close to him. They were both human beings, so why were they so different?!
