I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 293 I Swear in Xu Zhe's Name

Beicheng City Light Residential Community.

After returning from Zhang Guang's place, Lin Xing'an did not go upstairs.

Of course, he didn't remind Teacher Orange.

He was simply sitting alone in the courtyard of the residential complex, silently analyzing a map of the northern part of the city.

At the same time, I also experienced the magpie in the long river of time.

Just as he expected, Si Que had already entered a deep sleep.

It looks like he won't wake up even if someone steps on him twice.

"Buzz!"

Just as Lin Xing'an was analyzing the situation and outlining his plans, his phone suddenly rang.

"hiss……"

He picked it up and looked at it.

The caller wasn't calling his phone number, but rather Xu Zhe's phone number, which he had just installed...

The person who called was the mole...

"Cough! Cough-cough-cough!"

Lin Xing'an paused for a moment, then cleared his throat with a serious expression.

"Hello, hello? Hello!"

He made his voice low and hoarse before answering the phone.

"..."

But after the call connected, neither of them spoke.

"……say."

Lin Xing'an spoke in a deliberately broken, raspy voice.

What's wrong with your voice?

The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly distorted.

"Ha ha……"

Lin Xing'an did not answer, but only gave a cold laugh.

He then let out a series of coughs.

"The feeling of being infected with the virus must be unpleasant, right?"

"...Are you here to spout nonsense?"

Lin Xing'an imitated Xu Zhe's style and tone.

To further immerse himself in the experience, he also transformed the flowing water into a ring, which he rotated on his knuckles.

What exactly is the news?

Seeing that the other side was silent again, Lin Xing'an asked angrily.

He secretly thought it was a pity.

Unfortunately, the distance wasn't enough to allow Yin Hui to enter the base directly.

Otherwise, it would be obvious who the mole is...

"Xu Zhe, you gluttons, are you planning something big?"

"Heh, you beast, are you trying to trick me into saying something?"

"...Zhang Hang received the news in advance, and he has already ordered everyone who was outside to come back."

Inside the base, Wenwen looked at her belly.

His eyes flashed with a complex mix of madness and compassion as he lowered his voice and spoke seriously.

"..."

Her words made Lin Xing'an frown.

This mole is even more despicable than he imagined...

She is not the kind of contestant who hesitates between standing on the side of humans and standing on the side of gluttons.

She had already made up her mind to stand on the side of the gluttonous ghost...

Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to call at this time.

"Are you surprised, Xu Zhe? Let me tell you another secret."

Wen Wen seemed quite satisfied with the silence.

His voice suddenly became somewhat excited.

"explain……"

Lin Xing'an made his breathing sound rapid and somewhat gritted his teeth.

"I need a guarantee from you in exchange for this secret."

"Heh, you beast, haven't I given you enough guarantees? Safety, freedom, isn't that enough?"

Although it is unknown what Xu Zhe promised this mole.

But Lin Xing'an remained unfazed and said...

"That's not enough! I still can't trust you!"

"Is there any truth in the mouths of you gluttonous ghosts?"

Wenwen's voice, after being processed, suddenly rose in pitch.

A jolt of electricity emanated from the phone!
Lin Xing'an then closed his eyes.

A wave of sorrow washed over me.

This person has become obsessed.

She knew perfectly well that the gluttonous ghost was completely untrustworthy.

But he still said it...

She desperately wanted the gluttonous ghost to give her a guarantee.

It's as if as long as the gluttonous ghost makes a vow, it will definitely tell the truth...

"You beast, you are utterly ridiculous..."

"We've already gone this far; you and we're in the same boat."

"From the moment you called me, there was no going back!"

"Do you know how much blood of your compatriots is on your hands? Do you know... how many times you've given us extra meals?"

What are you still pretending for?

"You think I can't find you just because you've masked your voice?"

"I can disembowel you anytime, I can put you on my plate like a roast suckling pig anytime!"

Lin Xing'an brought Xu Zhe into the conversation and said jokingly.

However, because of his hoarse voice, it sounded rather terrifying and eerie.

"..."

His words, especially the phrase "disemboweled," made Wenwen tremble.

She subconsciously covered her soon-to-be full-term pregnant belly.

"Human or beast, what other guarantees do you want?"

After making those harsh remarks, Lin Xing'an changed the subject.

"...I'll make you swear an oath to your mother!"

"I swear I'll turn myself into a glutton!"

Wenwen roared in a low voice.

Lin Xing'an could even hear her heartbeat over the phone.

Turn into a gluttonous demon...

So this is the freedom Xu Zhe promised you...

Lin Xing'an shook his head.

How could a human become a gluttonous ghost, apart from a sacrificer?

"...Didn't I swear an oath?"

After deliberately remaining silent for a long time, Lin Xing'an finally spoke.

"I want you to swear to your mother! To the mother of you gluttons! To the mother who created you!"

Wen Wen said again.

Lin Xing'an then made his breathing heavy, as if he were in great distress.

"I swear……"

After Wen Wen on the other end of the phone became somewhat impatient, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I, Xu Zhe, swear, I, Xu Zhe, swear to the great mother!"

"If I, Xu Zhe, break this contract, if I, Xu Zhe, tell a single lie, may I, Xu Zhe, never be reincarnated! May I have no descendants for eternity! May I be punished by my mother for eternity!"

Lin Xing'an gritted his teeth and said as if spitting blood.

He coughed occasionally.

"Humans and beasts, your information had better be useful."

"Otherwise... cough cough cough..."

Lin Xing'an's knuckles made a cracking sound.

Hearing this assurance, Wen Wen finally felt relieved.

“We have people on your committee.”

She paused for a moment, then said.

"what?!"

Lin Xing'an's pupils contracted.

"You beast, you fucking lied to me like this?!"

"Would our committee's gluttons help you beasts?"

"Use your stupid pig brain to think about it, is that even possible?"

Lin Xing'an said with a gloomy expression.

Wen Wen's expression also changed slightly.

"Believe it or not, I'm just telling you what I heard."

"You heard that? So you can't be 100% sure?"

"...I've already said it, believe it or not is up to you."

Wen Wen did not give a direct answer.

Instead, it was repeated.

Hearing her words, Lin Xing'an breathed a sigh of relief and was temporarily at ease.

Since Wenwen reacted this way, it proves that this was just something someone at the base might have said casually...

But at the same time, Lin Xing'an also felt a sense of relief.

If Xu Zhe or Zhang Guang found out...

Then his life will be difficult... "You beast, you've really lost your mind. You dare to make me swear an oath before telling me something so baseless?"

Lin Xing'an's voice clearly revealed a hint of displeasure.

But it was forcibly suppressed.

"You mean, Zhang Hang suddenly sent all those people and animals back home today?"

He changed the subject and asked.

"It happened not today, but just now, tonight."

"It's like suddenly receiving a 100% accurate message."

"That's why I said we have people on your committee's side."

Wen Wen seemed to have found a basis for his confidence, and his confidence grew even stronger.

"So, he went back in June too?"

"...No, she can't come back in June. If she comes back, we'll get infected too."

Do you have any news from June?

Just to be on the safe side, Lin Xing'an asked one more question.

"No."

"Have all the animals returned to your base tonight?"

"...I'm not sure if it's everyone."

"Very good. Go and see who is still outside right now. You have half an hour. I need specific information in half an hour."

Lin Xing'an glanced at the time and said coldly.

"Xu Zhe, I am not your subordinate! We have an equal trading relationship!"

"Equal trade? You beast, do you know that even though I swore an oath, I still have a hundred ways to kill you?"

"……I can not do it."

Sure enough, after Lin Xing'an finished speaking forcefully, Wen Wen's words immediately softened.

"Can't do it? You're afraid I'll kill all those beasts outside? What a joke..."

"Haven't you killed enough people and animals because of you? Now you want to put on a virtuous facade?"

"Besides, since they're left outside, they're bound to die!"

Lin Xing'an said fiercely.

Wen Wen fell silent and lowered his voice.

"I am not in a position to investigate right now."

“Some people in the base are already suspicious of me. Zhang Hang is deliberately avoiding me in important matters and is also intentionally cultivating other people.”

"If it weren't for me..."

Wenwen gritted her teeth as she looked at her large pregnant belly.

"In short, I can't make any rash moves right now, you..."

Wenwen's voice suddenly paused.

Then, as if he was about to be discovered, he immediately hung up the phone.

"Tsk..."

Lin Xing'an narrowed his eyes, a surge of anger rising within him.

"Absolutely disgusting..."

If Xu Zhe had received the call today, he would definitely have been exposed.

Moreover, everyone who is outside will die a horrible death!
Zhang Hang told them to go back, but they didn't go back for only one reason: they wanted to stay and contribute their remaining energy.

This phone call made everyone outside a laughing stock!
"Buzz!"

Before Lin Xing'an could even consider what to do, the phone vibrated again.

Wen Wen called again.

"The base is currently activating a stealth protection mechanism, which will last for one month."

"In one hour, the entire base will be isolated from the world."

"Those inside can't get out, and those outside can't get in."

"Both sides can only transmit simple information through special means."

As soon as the call connected, Wen Wen said.

There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Lin Xing'an's temples throbbed violently.

"...You've finally come to your senses? You're going to tell me the location of your human and animal base?"

He asked, his breathing rapid.

"Impossible, I still have my bottom line."

Wen Wen answered directly.

"Bottom line? Heh..."

Lin Xing'an gave a mocking chuckle.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Wen's tone just now really made him think that Wen Wen was going to confess everything...

"Then why are you telling me this?"

"Showing off your human and animal defenses?"

Lin Xing'an fiddled with the water in his hand and asked in a cold voice.

"Once it's activated, no one except Zhang Hang will be able to contact the outside world."

"You can't find me, and I can't find you."

Wen lowered his voice.

Lin Xing'an narrowed his eyes and pondered Wen Wen's words for a moment.

"...How long will this protective mechanism for humans and animals last?"

"At least a month, or even longer."

"One month... You all have a very clear understanding of yourselves, knowing that you can't hide for much longer after sixteen months..."

Lin Xing'an coughed twice at the opportune moment.

It makes your voice sound very painful.

"Can you tamper with this protection mechanism from the inside?"

"I don't need any major loopholes, I just need to be able to contact you."

Lin Xing'an cleared his throat and said.

"I already said! I'm under suspicion right now! I can't do anything at all!"

"Oh, then let's wait another... year."

"...What do you mean, wait a year?"

Wen Wen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked.

"Isn't this exactly why you called me?"

"You're worried that if you can't contact me at the base for a month, I'll turn my back on you, or you'll miss out on some opportunity to become a gluttonous ghost, right?"

Lin Xing'an asked in a low voice.

Wen Wen fell silent.

"You beast, don't try to show off your little schemes in front of me."

"However... your concerns are valid."

Lin Xing'an paused for a moment.

He could clearly hear Wen Wen swallowing nervously.

"A week later, whether we find the sixteenth month or not, the angels will descend."

"If you miss this opportunity... then you'll just have to wait until your mother arrives."

"It will take at least another year."

"I hope you live to see that time, haha..."

A glint flashed in Lin Xing'an's eyes.

Letting this mole stay so comfortably in the base...

He's really upset...

"A year...I can't wait that long..."

Wenwen looked at her stomach and muttered to herself.

"I can't wait, I can't wait..."

She shook her head and pressed her stomach.

It's like wanting to touch your unborn baby through your skin.

One year later...

The child can already walk.

Why should her child have to live in this base that has no aesthetic appeal?
She wants freedom; she wants her children to grow up safely and carefree outside!

and……

Wenwen had a premonition.

The baby hasn't been born yet, so this belly is her protective charm.

Once the child is born, Zhang Hang will definitely conduct a thorough investigation into her!
She didn't think she could escape it...

"Xu Zhe, are you sure an angel will descend in seven days?"

"It won't take seven days, maybe five."

"Are you sure the angel can turn me into a glutton?"

"Of course I'm sure, what would be the point of me lying to you?"

"...Then I'll go out!"

Wen Wen gritted his teeth, grabbed the table, and stood up, saying...

"Get out? So eager to become one of us? Where do you plan to hide?"

"Fine, you can hide yourself. No matter where you hide, I will find you within five days."
