Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 211 Remember my name, Chen Yuan

As soon as Chen Yuan asked this question, he heard the sound of footsteps not far away. He turned around and saw all kinds of pets appearing one after another, quickly blocking the entire alley.

Even the figures of several pets appeared in the air, but they were some distance away from the sparks and seemed a little afraid to get close to the sparks.

"Counselor Chen, are you all right?"

The shadows in the alley were dispelled by the light, and Luo Xian strode towards Chen Yuan.

Halfway through the walk, he was surprised to find dozens of stray cats huddled together. Their bodies were trembling, their breaths were weak, and their eyes were filled with grief, anger, and fear.

A Dire Shadow Cat was surrounded by stray cats in the center. There were no obvious scars on its dark body, but it lay on its side on the ground, with complex emotions in its dim eyes.

"Uh, is it over?" Luo Xian was stunned.

After learning what happened to Chen Yuan, he rushed over with his men, and saw this scene as soon as he arrived at the scene.

What is this?
Don't they need to take action?
Luo Xian had a very complicated expression on his face, but Nie Li and his team members had an expression that said, "As expected."

"It's easy to carry out missions with Consultant Chen."

"I feel like after walking around everywhere, the mission is over."

Some team members even looked at Nie Li and whispered, "Captain, do you think we should ask Consultant Chen for help directly if we encounter any special incidents after returning to Qinling?"

Nie Li was somewhat tempted, but said calmly, "The prerequisite is that you can convince Consultant Chen to join the Investigation Department."

Hearing their conversation, Luo Xian looked embarrassed.

Yesterday, President Wang specifically recommended Chen Yuan to him, but he refused because Chen Yuan had no experience in resolving such incidents.

The scene before him slapped him in the face.

Chen Yuan didn't need their help at all, he could handle this incident by himself.

"But this is good news." All these thoughts flashed through his mind and Luo Xian soon felt happy.

As long as the suspect can be found as soon as possible and the child can be rescued, it doesn't matter who it is.

If being embarrassed for a moment could successfully solve the case and allow those poor children to return home safely, Luo Xian would be willing to be embarrassed for a whole year, even if it meant getting slapped in the face.

Luo Xian, who was very smart, first asked his subordinates to watch over the stray cats, then he strode to Chen Yuan, took the initiative to extend his right hand, and said with a smile: "Advisor Chen, I am Luo Xian, the captain of the fifth team of the eighth branch of the investigation department. I have heard of your name for a long time."

The two exchanged names, and Luo Xian continued, "Advisor Chen, this time it's all thanks to you for taking action in time."

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "It is also my job to rescue those children."

After a short pause, Chen Yuan's expression turned serious: "Captain Luo, we will discuss these matters later. Let's find out the whereabouts of the children first."

"Okay." Luo Xian nodded slightly with a solemn expression, and then looked up at the Nightmare Shadow Cat, "This Nightmare Shadow Cat is the culprit, right?"

"It's most likely." Chen Yuan didn't say anything definite.

"Okay, leave the next thing to us." Luo Xian took a half step forward and winked at a team member next to him, who immediately sent out a spiritual pet.

Like Yao Li's Mingguang Crane, this psychic pet also possesses the means to seduce and control the mind, and can directly make the Nightmare Shadow Cat tell the truth.

Catching the suspect is not the purpose; finding those children is the ultimate goal of this mission.

When this spiritual pet approached the weak Dire Shadow Cat, the stray cats surrounding it suddenly became angry and started to meow loudly.

But Luo Xian brought several well-trained team members, and their pets worked together to separate the group of stray cats and completely intimidate them through various means.

If any stray cat dares to fight back, these team members will lock it in a small cage made of special materials.

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

The configuration of each anti-crime team is extremely perfect. The captain is usually responsible for combat power and commander, and each team member has a clear division of labor.

For example, wild boar pets have thick skin and flesh, and can attract firepower and share pressure in battle.

White Fern is a healer and has a contract with a healing pet.

In addition, there is a technician, a special person with a psychic pet, and a professional reconnaissance team member.
In this way, each law enforcement team can calmly respond to various emergencies.

When this group of stray cats were separated, the figure of the Dire Shadow Cat was completely exposed to everyone.

Compared with other stray cats, the Dire Shadow Cat is much larger in size. The black hair covering its entire body is very soft, and even its three forked thin tails are not messy.

But under the gaze of so many people, this Nightmare Shadow Cat was not afraid at all, and its dark green eyes still revealed indifference and subtle resentment.

It lay quietly on the ground, like a venomous snake waiting for its opportunity to strike.

"Ow~"

Just as Chen Yuan was looking at the Nightmare Shadow Cat curiously, Coke suddenly tugged at his trouser leg.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan asked with his head down.

"Ouch!"

Coke pulled Chen Yuan's trouser leg, trying to take him to the dark buildings he had seen before.

That is the base camp of this group of stray cats.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot about this."

Then he looked at Luo Xian and said decisively: "Captain Luo, my pet has discovered their base camp. If those children were captured, they will most likely be there."

"I'll go over and check the situation first. You guys ask there first."

"I'll go too." Nie Li said suddenly.

Luo Xian looked back, his thoughts turning, and then nodded: "Okay, both of you go together, we will finish here soon."

It would be wise to act on both ends and find those children as quickly as possible.

Therefore, Coke led the team, Chen Yuan, Nie Li and their team members rushed towards the stray cats' base camp, while Luo Xian and his team members stayed where they were.

Soon, the leader of the Pet Training Center arrived with a team and completely controlled the stray cats.

However, the process of controlling the Dire Shadow Cat to tell the truth through psychic skills was not smooth.

"Its will is very strong. It may take some time to pry its mouth open." The beastmaster of the spiritual pet frowned, his face looking a little ugly.

Luo Xian also frowned and pondered, "What if there is another spiritual pet to help?"

The former shook his head and said without hesitation: "Its brain cannot withstand the invasion of two mental powers at the same time. It is likely to cause irreversible adverse effects on it."

Hearing this, Luo Xian nodded silently: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Afterwards, Luo Xian turned his head and looked in the direction where Chen Yuan and the others left, silently saying in his heart: "I hope everything goes well for you."

If it is discovered that those poor children have been killed, then the only option is to humanely destroy this Dire Shadow Cat.

at the same time,

A row of dark buildings came into view.

"This should be an unfinished building." Chen Yuan said.

Nie Li looked at the information he found on his phone and nodded: "Yes, it was abandoned two years ago."

"It always feels a bit eerie." Bai Fen looked at the messy weeds and the dilapidated gate. Occasionally, a cold wind blew past, causing goose bumps all over his body. "If I were alone, I would definitely not dare to come in."

The wild boar didn't care and strode forward: "What's there to be afraid of? It's nothing more than a few dark pets playing tricks."

As they walked into the abandoned community, they suddenly heard meowing sounds and several stray cats with vigilant eyes surrounded them.

"Ow!"

But Coke only needed to roar loudly, and the stray cats were scared away.

"It's okay, don't pay attention to them." Chen Yuan suddenly said.

The condition of these stray cats is worse than the previous ones. They are malnourished and sick all over.

There's no need to bother with these poor little guys.

Of course, if something happened to those children, Chen Yuan’s attitude would definitely not be the same as it is now.

Walking straight forward, a pair of eyes shining with faint light appeared from time to time on both sides, staring at everyone nervously in the thick night.

Continue forward and you will enter a hall.

With the help of the bright light, Chen Yuan looked around and was suddenly stunned.

The hall was filled with toys that were obviously for children's entertainment, including some dirty rag dolls.

In the corner, there are takeaway bags.

"What are these toys for?" the wild boar asked in confusion.

Bai Fern dragged his chin in thought for a while, and guessed: "Maybe it's for the entertainment of these stray cats."

Nie Li didn't care about all this. She looked around, trying to find the children who had been taken away.

Leaving this hall, you enter a smaller room.

The light dispelled the darkness, and the scene that came into view made everyone present fall silent at the same time.

The room was covered with colorful mattresses, some intact and some broken, and five children were lying on them, covered with thin quilts, looking miserable in this cold winter. But there were several petite kittens close to them, their furry bodies radiating heat, and they were also covered with quilts, revealing their sleeping heads.

There was even a red flame cat cub squeezed in the middle between the two children. As a fire-type pet, it could provide warmth at all times and dispel the coldness of the night.

They looked like they were sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

Looking at this scene, Chen Yuan was stunned at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face: "I'm glad you're okay."

"Yes, I'm glad you're okay." A rare smile appeared on Nie Li's face, and the tense string in his heart finally loosened.

The boar grumbled, "This is not what I imagined."

White Fern glared at him fiercely and said unhappily, "Isn't this the most ideal situation?"

The boar scratched his head and said, "That's right."

At the same time, the stray cats were staring at them nervously. They didn't dare to approach, but they were also unwilling to leave. They froze in place for a while.

Chen Yuan chose to approach them actively, and the latter shrank their necks and retreated as if frightened.

Chen Yuan took out some food for the pets as if by magic, squatted on the ground, and waved at them: "Don't worry, we have no ill intentions."

"Meow"

A stray cat looked at the rations in Chen Yuan's hand and swallowed its saliva. The faint fragrance drove its body forward uncontrollably, but it was stopped by another stray cat.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to look at the Twin Flower Concubines, trying to get them to help break down the vigilance of these stray cats.

But when Chen Yuan saw the twin concubines' purple long hair, he pursed his lips and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

A gentle smile appeared on his face, and his voice became gentle: "If I had any ill intentions towards you, you would have been arrested long ago."

"So it's okay, just eat something if you're hungry."

"Meow meow meow~"

After a difficult psychological struggle, a brave stray cat finally approached Chen Yuan cautiously, got in front of him, and lowered its head to eat the rations.

Seeing this, the other stray cats followed suit and surrounded Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan smiled and took the opportunity to reach out and touch their thin bodies and messy hair.

"Advisor Chen is really loved by the pet." Bai Fen sighed upon seeing this.

Nie Li nodded slightly.

"Captain, do you know Consultant Chen's nickname on the Internet?" Bai Fen suddenly asked.

Seeing Nie Li's puzzled expression, Bai Jue covered his mouth and chuckled, "Advisor Chen is affectionately called Chen Momo by many netizens because he will take the initiative to touch the pets he encounters, so many netizens have the opportunity to meet Advisor Chen face to face."

"And no matter what pet it is, Consultant Chen will always show the most sincere and happy smile on his face when he touches it."

After a pause, she lowered her voice and said, "But I heard that Consultant Chen has never touched a snake pet."

Chen Yuan didn't know that Bai Fen was discussing him behind his back. When he saw the stray cats start to eat, he turned around and looked at Nie Li: "Captain Nie, let Captain Luo bring the Nightmare Shadow Cat over now."

"I think it's time for the truth to come out."

after awhile,

Luo Xian led the team to the scene and first had them block the entire building. Then he strode to the sleeping children and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. "That's great."

"Yes, that's great." Chen Yuan nodded.

The other members of the investigation team also smiled. On the one hand, they were happy that the children were safe, and on the other hand, they were happy that they didn't have to stay up late to work overtime.

While he was relieved, Luo Xian looked puzzled: "Advisor Chen, what on earth is going on?"

This Dire Shadow Cat captured these children but did not harm them, and judging from their physical condition, they had not been abused at all.

What exactly does the Dire Shadowcat want to do?
"Let it answer itself." Chen Yuan kept a safe distance from the Nightmare Shadow Cat and smiled slightly, "Tell me the reason or difficulty you had for capturing these children."

"You don't want to be locked up in a small dark room with these poor cats for ideological education, do you?"

The Nightmare Shadow Cat had deep eyes. It looked deeply at the stray cats lying on the ground eating their food, and suddenly made a hoarse cry: "Meow!"

It had been controlled by the spiritual pet and had not spoken before, but now it spoke on its own initiative.

Just as Chen Yuan guessed, the Nightmare Shadow Cat had his reasons for capturing these children.

This was a long-planned act of revenge.

The Dire Shadow Cat was born into a human family, where he was loved and had no worries about food and drink, leading a comfortable life.

But when the mistress became pregnant, everything changed.

It was sent to another family by its owner, its quality of life plummeted, and it was abandoned after falling ill.

The Dire Shadowcat has since been living on the streets and has become a stray cat.

After its spiritual energy revived, it evolved into a Nightmare Shadowcat. Since then, it has tamed a group of stray cats and used this abandoned community as its base camp, taking in more and more stray cats.

However, their living environment has not improved much. Instead, it has become worse due to the addition of more disabled stray cats.

The situations of these stray cats are very similar to itss. Some were taken in by humans on a whim for a short period of time and then abandoned, some were abandoned shortly after birth, and some even suffered unimaginable abuse.

Their experience made the Dire Shadow Cat angry, and it decided to take revenge on these humans.

So it set its sights on the family that originally raised it, and took away its former master under the cover of night.

It was because of this former little master that it was sent away by its owner.

Over the next few days, it targeted several people who had abandoned stray cats and took away their children.

It is to make these people feel the pain that stray cats have suffered.

"But you didn't hurt them. Instead, you treated them very well."

“The stolen takeout was for these kids to eat, right?”

"The toys outside are for children to play with, right?"

Chen Yuan squatted down, staring directly at the Nightmare Shadow Cat with a sharp gaze.

The Dire Shadow Cat no longer responded. Its eyes were extremely complicated at this moment, and finally it lowered its head deeply.

It can't hurt them.

When it saw these young faces and those clear eyes that were ignorant of the world, the anger in its eyes had long dissipated.

The suffering they once endured should not be transferred to these children.

"These stray cats are quite pitiful." Bai Fen said in a low voice.

Chen Yuan stood up suddenly. His eyes showed no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, but his voice was steady and powerful: "Captain Luo, contact the parents of these children and ask them to come over quickly."

"I don't care about right or wrong, but these stray cats didn't hurt the children, which shows they are not on the wrong path."

"In this case, perhaps we should change our thinking to solve this incident."

Luo Xian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Yuan's tall back, with a hint of subtle respect in his tone: "Advisor Chen, how do we solve this?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Captain Luo, there is a very good saying, we need to make as many friends as possible."

After a pause, his smile grew wider: "I think if you can have a group of spies in the city who can monitor the streets and alleys at will, it might be easier to carry out missions in the future."

"All you have paid for is a warm and airtight environment and some meager rations."

“It should be easy for you to feed these stray cats.”

Luo Xian's eyes lit up: "Advisor Chen, what do you mean..."

Chen Yuan did not respond to him. Instead, he squatted in front of the Nightmare Shadow Cat again, staring at the pair of glimmering eyes, with a slight smile on his face: "What about you?"

"Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity with free food and lodging?"

"Chirp."

"Ow."

Hearing this, Sparks turned away and Coke shook his head.

The room fell into an eerie silence in an instant.

The Dire Shadow Cat raised its head and stared at the smiling human in front of it for a long time, then looked at the stray cats lying on the ground eating.

At this moment, no one knew what it was thinking.

"Meow."

After a long time, the Dire Shadow Cat nodded.

Chen Yuan smiled. He took out a business card from his pocket and placed it in front of Nightmare Shadow Cat: "If anyone bullies you in the future, bring this business card to the association building and report my name."

"Remember my name, the consultant of the Baokun City Beast Tamer Association, Chen Yuan."
