Chapter 614: Hunting

Qi Yu!!! Watermelon rind!!! You still have leftover rice!!!

Zhang Yan was furious, gesturing at Qi Yu, while the other stared blankly, not hearing a word Zhang Yan said.

She stared at her own claws, lost in thought.

In fact, Qi Yu never intended to kill the other directly, but her hands had already pierced the other's chest before she could react.

Qi Yu~

Zhang Yan grabbed her ear, and with an 'ouch', Qi Yu finally reacted.

I! Pah! I! I left it for you specially because I saw you working hard!

Qi Yu still keeps her weird speech habit, only speaking properly when anxious; it seems she won't change it anytime soon.

Xiao Yan, don't let her eat if the child can't finish it.

Mom stood aside, playing the good person; ever since Qi Yu hid her bug limbs and her temperament improved, Mom has found this little guy more and more pleasing.

I will finish it!

Qi Yu's appetite has been poor lately; she can't even finish a small bowl of rice. You know, when this guy was in snot-worm form, he used to eat half a small bag of pig feed a day!

If you can't finish it, give it to me.

Zhang Jie pushed his big bowl toward Qi Yu, and under her grateful gaze, poured that clean rice into his own bowl.

Thank you, my lord!

Speak properly!

Qi Yu didn't utter a sound, pattering back to her room.

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Jie with suspicion, feeling that her younger brother was hiding something from her.

By the way.... Has that damned brat grown taller again lately?

You brat, are you about to reach two meters?

Aren't you twenty and still growing?

Zhang Jie smirked; his physique keeps getting stronger by absorbing pollution—if he doesn't grow taller, does he mean to bulk up into a hulk?

I've finished eating.

Zhang Jie's appetite is now the opposite of Qi Yu's; if the people above knew he not only has no taboos but also this ability, they'd surely grab him for research.

He lately needs to pay close attention to Qi Yu; this little guy, he must confirm she isn't some abnormal spirit.

Killing means crossing into the meat-eating realm; even if Qi Yu's intention isn't bad, he must guard against her doing something irreversible.

Rustle...

Zhang Jie's super physique told him that next door, Qi Yu was changing clothes.

Cough, this isn't him intentionally eavesdropping; he simply can't become immune to this feeling—his ears are too sensitive, hard to control.

Click... is the sound of the window opening.

Thud... something fell to the ground.

Qi Yu, she indeed went out...

Zhang Jie furrowed his brow, sighed, reached out and pulled on his investigator jacket.

He intends to follow Qi Yu, to be a qualified tail.

The living Shotgun was hung in his closet, its big eyes staring at him, its tentacles actively wrapping around Zhang Jie's arm, as if wanting him to bring it along.

Unfortunately, Zhang Jie doesn't intend to bring it; this thing is never honest at his waist, its tentacles flailing about like a hooligan.

Under the Shotgun's resentful gaze, Zhang Jie coughed twice, mercilessly shaking off its tentacles, like a man who's ripped out his feelings.

Zhang Jie openly walked out the door, greeted someone, turned left, and caught up with Qi Yu.

In the distance, Qi Yu, wearing a big dress, walked elegantly with a small eye mask, looking completely like a cosplay.

After all, this world still needs games, comics, and other entertainment to ease the mind; though these things seem strange, they are indeed a necessary part.

Qi Yu greeted the people around her familiarly, smiling and responding; they seemed very familiar with her, showing no suspicion of her appearance.

Her bug limbs, easily hidden, made her look like a normal person; no one knew that behind her were six white-jade-like bug limbs.

It's understandable, though: the Zhang Jie family is a well-known investigator family nearby, all members are agents of the Anomaly Bureau; under the watch of three investigators, those people are probably safer than the investigators themselves.

Qi Yu just strolled around the district carefree, having no destination—at least that's what Zhang Jie thought.

At a drink shop, she passed by three times in front of them, and the clerks' gazes began to turn strange.

In the end, she couldn't resist the embarrassment and bought a cup of milk tea at the drink shop.

She is looking for a target...

Zhang Jie continued to follow silently behind; Qi Yu seemed to think this place was too safe, and started walking toward the suburbs.

Huh? She actually found something.

Not far away, there is an anomaly, a hidden anomaly, which he sensed.

It's a fake person, huh; the corners of that mouth are almost splitting up to the temples...

Zhang Jie relaxed; good, Qi Yu isn't targeting lone pedestrians—he had thought she was doing sting operations to reel in a few sleazy scumbags, but it looks like her main target is still anomalies.

Around, humans grew ever scarcer, only a fake person leaning on a motorcycle, laughing brazenly at Qi Yu.

Qi Yu also smiled; she not only smiled but drooled, as if the anomaly before her were some incredibly delicious delicacy.

Want... want to ride my ghost fire?

The fake person's face returned to normal; even facing the beautiful Qi Yu, it showed a faint blush.

Your face is blushing like thunder!!!

Zhang Jie felt a bit nauseous, while Qi Yu strode forward, walking faster and faster, gradually breaking into a run.

Pfft...

The fake person's body was instantly pierced; the other didn't even react before collapsing like a desiccated sponge.

Hmm~

Qi Yu let out a satisfied sigh, and in front of Zhang Jie she bound the other into a zongzi, then with a Heaven-Soaring Great Swing she threw the impostor's corpse 108,000 li away.

What incredible arm strength!!!

Zhang Jie sighed, noting that Qi Yu bore a few traces of his heroic bearing.

I have no idea where this thing ended up; it looks like it flew to the neighboring city, and I wonder whether the investigators over there will see this scene and add another unsolved mystery.

Qi Yu looked at the small motorcycle left behind by the other party and began to think.

Zhang Jie watched her pull out her shabby little wallet, pout her lips, then look at the motorcycle, her eyes lighting up.

But the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore....

Because she saw behind her that Zhang Jie was wearing a half‑smile...

"Oh! Master, hear me out... let me explain...."

"I've followed you all this way, and finally you've shown your true colors."

"The evidence is conclusive—what else do you have to quibble about!"

Qi Yu's face drained of color in an instant; she rushed two steps toward Zhang Jie, looking at him pleadingly.

"Don't... don't reject me..."

Even the child would speak properly when anxious.

Zhang Jie suppressed the urge to laugh inside, stared at Qi Yu with a cold face, and the thought of what he was about to do made him want to laugh.

"Mas... Master?"

"Come here!"
