I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 164 Meow~
"Taoyuan..."

Xu Zhe said through gritted teeth.

The uncontrollable anger made his eyes red!

But Taoyuan, why plan such a thing?
Why did he kill Jiang Xiaojiang?

Why did he disguise himself as Li Jiu?

Just to stir up conflict between their siege department and coordination department?

wrong……

Since he has the means to disguise himself as the Coordination Department and contact Zhang Guang in order to provoke conflict, he should not be exposed so early.

With Taoyuan's strength, we will definitely do better.

that……

He just wanted to kill Lin Xing'an?

Just to kill a mere Lin Xing'an...?
"I was...used?"

Xu Zhe's breathing became faster and faster.

His eyes were dark and unclear, and the anger that seemed to be tangible made his hideous face twitch constantly.

Taoyuan was well aware of his suspicious character.

So he deliberately killed Jiang Xiaojiang in a strange way on the day when Lin Xing'an came to make up lessons, to arouse his suspicion of Lin Xing'an.

Then he disguised himself as Li Jiu from the Coordination Department, mocked their siege department, and misled their investigation direction.

Taking advantage of the conflicts between them and the Coordination Department itself, they made them think that the whole thing was planned by the Coordination Department, and thus naturally made Lin Xing'an a "scapegoat".

"Normally, Lin Xing'an would be dead by now. I killed him a long time ago..."

"But Minister Zhang happened to notice that Lin Xing'an resembled an old friend of his, so Lin Xing'an is still alive..."

"Taoyuan realized that the minister must have found out something, so he asked Mao to disguise himself as Li Jiu and kill Lin Xing'an as soon as possible..."

"is that so……"

The anger gradually faded.

After thinking about the whole thing again, Xu Zhe actually felt a chill...

Is all this within Taoyuan’s calculations?
Just to kill Lin Xingan???

but……

Lin Xing'an was just an ordinary student at Beicheng University. Taoyuan had countless ways to kill him without anyone knowing, so why go through so much trouble?

not to mention……

"Xu Zhe! What's going on?!"

Before Xu Zhe could think about it any further, Zhang Guang's voice suddenly came from outside.

"minister……"

Seeing Zhang Guang, even Xu Zhe, who was already angry, felt his heart skip a beat.

Although Zhang Guang has a beer belly, he looks like a harmless middle-aged man who doesn't seem to have a bad temper.

But how could the Minister of the Siege and Killing Department not have a temper?

How could he be someone who is easy to talk to?

In particular, Zhang Guang personally experienced the Taoyuan incident eighteen years ago on the front line.

Now, Taoyuan is playing with her like this again...

Xu Zhe swallowed subconsciously.

"Xu Zhe, quickly take over the ghost domain for me. What is this?"

"What are you doing? Where is Lin Xing'an?"

Zhang Guang looked at the busy people and felt Xu Zhe's ghost realm. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like ink was about to drip out.

"Minister, Lin Xing'an..."

"Come in!"

Seeing Xu Zhe's expression, Zhang Guang also shook his head and entered the meeting room.

"Deputy Minister Li, please come in too. It's okay."

He also nodded to Li Jiu and closed the door of the conference room.

"Xu Zhe, you should collect the ghost domain first! Who told you to release the ghost domain randomly?"

Seeing that Xu Zhe was unmoved, Zhang Guang spoke again.

But Xu Zhe shook his head. "Minister, the cat is in this building. She pretended to be Li Jiu and killed Lin Xing'an."

Xu Zhe took a deep breath and spoke very concisely.

There is no point in hiding it at this time.

"..."

After hearing his words, Zhang Guang fell silent.

Li Jiu on the side also frowned.

"Lin Xing'an is completely dead? Is there any hope for his life? Where is he being treated?"

Zhang Guang stood up and asked.

"Zhao Wuji is working hard."

Xu Zhe also hurriedly took Zhang Guang to the interrogation room.

"Let's take your ghost domain first."

"Minister, the cat is in the ghost zone. She didn't have time to leave."

"Her ability is [Transformation]. Can you find her if she turns into a speck of ash? You're releasing your ghost domain so obviously. Are you trying to let everyone on the committee know that our siege unit has been invaded by a human-animal?"

Zhang Guang said in a deep voice.

Xu Zhe was also stunned.

yes……

With the cat's ability, if you don't find and track her right away, you'll almost never find her later...

Although he can continue to maintain the ghost realm and fight with the cat.

But with such a huge ghost town here, isn’t it telling everyone clearly that something has happened?
Isn't this just a blatant disgrace to their siege unit in front of everyone?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhe calmed down and quickly took back the ghost domain.

"Okay, go do whatever you need to do!"

Zhang Guang waved to the people who were looking for the cat in the corridor.

But when he saw the scene in the interrogation room, his face became even gloomier.

The entire interrogation room was covered in bloody cat paw prints.

In the middle, Zhao Wuji was mending Lin Xing'an in his own ghost domain. He was completely distracted and didn't even notice them coming.

"This kind of injury..."

"It's completely based on Lin Xing'an's weaknesses..."

Zhang Guang's expression became more serious than ever before, and then he turned around and left as if he had thought of something.

"Wait here for me. I'll find someone who can save him."

He waved his hand and said.

Xu Zhe, who wanted to ask Zhang Guang what was so special about Lin Xing'an, didn't say anything in the end.

Of course he could see it too.

The most important task now is to rescue Lin Xing'an!
"Xu Zhe, keep an eye on Lin Xing'an."

"The cat could turn into anyone else. We must not let her cause further harm to Lin Xing'an!"

"Lin Xing'an is extremely important! He must be kept alive!"

Before leaving, Zhang Guang turned back and emphasized again.

"understood."

Xu Zhe clenched his fists and nodded.

Then he released the ghost domain in a small area, within the scope of the interrogation room, outside Zhao Wuji's ghost domain.

With two layers of ghost protection, even if a cat comes in, it can’t get out!
"Director Xu, you said the cat transformed into my appearance? And assassinated this Lin Xing'an?"

"Correct."

"She transformed into me and just walked in like that, and you didn't have any suspicions?"

Seeing that Xu Zhe didn't want to say anything more, Li Jiu took the initiative to ask.

Xu Zhe closed his eyes, his temples throbbing.

"The cat's ability is to transform into anyone, and her strength is already approaching Class A."

"After the transformation, unless she is ordered to release the ghost realm or forcibly inspected, it is impossible to tell."

"Besides her powerful abilities, her mental strength and emotional control are her greatest strengths. She might even..."

Xu Zhe's voice suddenly paused.

Cats can become anyone...

anyone……

He suddenly opened his eyes and his pupils contracted!
Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly raised his head and looked outside the door.

"Meow~"

"Zhang Guang", who had just left, turned his head slightly as if he felt his gaze.

Right in front of him, in front of him, as if to humiliate him, its body slowly transformed into a cat with blue-green eyes.

"Human beast!"

Xu Zhe was stunned for half a second, then suddenly shouted!
The ghost realm suddenly erupted again!
But the cat just jumped up lightly, turned into a bird in the air, and flew away before his ghost domain spread to her.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

"Ah!!!!" After chasing outside, Xu Zhe roared to the sky!

But in his ears, the only response was the cat's meow.

meow~
Contempt, ridicule, disdain...

The echo of emotions continued to resonate in Xu Zhe's ears!

The cat could have hidden forever.

But he chose to transform into Zhang Guang and leave in this way...

This is naked humiliation!
This means that they have completely disregarded the encirclement and killing troops!
"Human and animal, okay, okay, okay..."

Feeling the gazes of those around him and realizing that he had lost his composure, Xu Zhe slowly withdrew his ghost domain and forced himself to calm down in front of his colleagues and subordinates.

"Do whatever needs to be done."

He glanced around with a cold face.

The voice was extremely cold.

"Watch this! Anyone who comes in now, including me, the minister, and your mother, must first be released from the ghost realm before entering."

Xu Zhe pointed at the face of the receptionist and spoke word by word.

Then he strode back to the interrogation room.

He heard some movement from Zhao Wuji's side.

"what happened?"

This time, Xu Zhe blocked Li Jiu outside the interrogation room and walked into Zhao Wuji's ghost realm alone.

"Old Xu, there's something seriously wrong with Lin Xing'an."

The densely packed legs under Zhao Wuji kept swinging.

He had already sewn Lin Xing'an's head, which had been chopped off like an executioner, tightly onto his neck.

Even if you look carefully with a magnifying glass, you can't even tell that Lin Xing'an's neck was cut.

"he……"

Xu Zhe's ears twitched and his brows furrowed.

He heard the blood flowing through Lin Xing'an's body...

"..."

Xu Zhe placed his hand on Lin Xing'an's heart.

Then his expression changed.

"He has no heart."

Zhao Wuji's eyes turned red, and he looked at Lin Xing'an's chest as if he could see through things.

"Then he is..."

"It's mother."

"..."

Zhao Wuzhi's words made Xu Zhe's expression change again.

"let me see."

He listened carefully, his brow furrowed.

Without saying a word, Zhao Wuji took out his eyeballs and stuffed them into Xu Zhe's eye sockets.

Xu Zhe blinked, and after rolling his eyes twice, he also looked at Lin Xing'an's chest.

"hiss……"

When Xu Zhe saw clearly where Lin Xing'an's heart was, he took a breath.

"feather……"

His breathing quickened.

It was an incredibly... beautiful feather, full of life and power.

It was this feather that activated the blood circulation throughout Lin Xing'an's body, constantly repairing Lin Xing'an's body.

Even if one suffers a fatal injury like decapitation, waking up is only a matter of time.

"what happened?"

Before Xu Zhe could take a closer look, Zhang Guang's voice came from outside the interrogation room.

He exuded an extremely hot aura, and the ghost domain, which he controlled very well, moved with his footsteps.

This time, it was the real Zhang Guang, the head of the siege department.

"minister."

Xu Zhe and Zhao Wuji stopped together.

Zhang Guang just nodded, his eyes swept over the cat paw prints on the wall that had not been cleaned up, and his brows frowned.

Then he took back the ghost domain and walked to Lin Xing'an.

Xu Zhe and Zhao Wuji looked at each other, then stepped forward and told Zhang Guang everything that had just happened.

Including Li Jiu, who had no idea about Jiang Xiaojiang's death and the whole incident.

Including Cat's infiltration and assassination of Lin Xing'an.

And the cat just escaped by transforming into Zhang Guang...

Even though he said it again, Xu Zhe still felt his face burning.

But hiding it would only add to the shame.

"How is Lin Xing'an?"

However, to Xu Zhe's surprise, Zhang Guang did not make any comments on those things.

Instead, he looked at Lin Xing'an with an extremely serious expression.

"Minister, there is a feather inside Lin Xing'an's body."

Zhao Wuji said quickly.

Then he took off his left eye and put it into Zhang Guang's eye socket.

"The cat transformed into Li Jiu's appearance, read Lin Xing'an's information, and learned that Lin Xing'an's ability was [Wave]."

"So she completely targeted Lin Xing'an's weaknesses and executed him."

"Although the weak points of the [Wave] ability are the head and heart, the head is obviously safer. Even if the heart is crushed, there is still a chance."

"But the cat didn't expect that Lin Xing'an had no heart."

"These feathers are the source of Lin Xing'an's life."

"If Mao had chosen Lin Xing'an's heart, he would have been dead..."

There was actually a hint of relief in Zhao Wuji's voice.

"Taoyuan had planned everything, but he didn't expect this..."

"It's really a mother's blessing..."

And Zhang Guang actually sighed with relief.

"Minister, this is at least the feather of an eight-winged angel."

"They won't take off their feathers without Mother's order."

"It is absolutely impossible for an angel to disobey Mother's orders."

Xu Zhe said as he looked at the feather with a frown.

"But no matter how kind Mother is, she wouldn't just order the angel to pluck the feathers and give them to anyone."

Zhao Wuji also added.

Even though both eyeballs had been removed.

But his dark eye sockets seemed to still have the ability to see through things.

"..."

Xu Zhe also nodded silently.

indeed.

This feather represents a life.

This is an absolute gift from Mother.

and so……

Who are Lin Xingan’s parents...?
Who on earth could have gotten Mother to give him a feather?
Xu Zhe looked at Zhang Guang, but did not ask.

He naturally realized that Lin Xing'an's identity was definitely not simple.

It's so complicated that even Lin Xing'an himself doesn't know...

"Xu Zhe, let Ke Ke come over."

Zhang Guang removed the eyeball and returned it to Zhao Wuji.

Xu Zhe also nodded, removed his eyeballs, and left the interrogation room.

"minister."

In less than a minute, he came in with Keke.

"Keke, take Lin Xing'an to the secret room now. Together with Zhao Wuji, you will keep watch over him 24 hours a day. Report to me on his vitals every hour until he wakes up."

"Use an alphabetical notebook for your reports, and don't use your cell phone. Don't bring any cell phone, not even one without internet access."

"Xu Zhe, spread the news immediately and let everyone know that Lin Xing'an has died despite failed rescue efforts."

"As for Bai Yue, ask her to receive Li Jiu and assist him with his statistical work."

"Then you come with me, and we're going to go through the whole thing now."

There was a gleam in Zhang Guang's eyes.
