I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 298 I'm sorry!!!
"Oh!"

Xie Jiujiang's arm, like a fragile tree branch, exploded in the middle!

"..."

Xie Jiujiang's body trembled violently, as if a string had snapped.

The intense pain instantly drained all the color from his face!
Fine beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead!
He stared at his wound with his mouth agape, but the extreme pain prevented him from making a sound.

The severed, white bones, still attached to tendons and skin, gushed blood like water pipes.

"Tch, I thought it was something special..."

Mai Yuran disdainfully wiped the splattered meat and blood from her face.

He shook his arm, licked the blood off his hands, and looked at Lin Xing'an.

"Alright, this animal is already this old..."

"We finally caught one, don't accidentally kill it."

Lin Xing'an waved his hand and said.

He controlled the water, gently wrapping it around Xie Jiujiang's wound as carefully as possible.

Then it transformed into a heavy hammer, controlling the force to knock Xie Jiujiang unconscious.

There was no other way; these were the only two things he could do for Xie Jiujiang without revealing his identity.

"Xiao Yang, smell where he lives. There's definitely more than just him."

"it is good!"

Liu Yang jogged up to Xie Jiujiang.

He picked up Xie Jiujiang's severed arm and took a deep breath.

Half a minute later, he nodded to Lin Xing'an.

"Over there at Binhe Elementary School."

"OK, let's go."

Lin Xing'an completely ignored the bewildered stares of the people around him who had witnessed everything, and used water to carry Xie Jiujiang back to the car.

"Captain, would that old man know where Sixteen is?"

Mai Lingbo swallowed hard and asked excitedly.

Lin Xing'an shook his head.

"He absolutely doesn't know."

“But since he’s staying here, he probably knows where the human and animal base is and how to contact Zhang Hang.”

Lin Xing'an's words made Mai Yuran and Mai Lingbu's eyes light up!
Knowing the base for humans and livestock!
This is a great achievement!

"As expected, good things come to those who wait."

"It wasn't for nothing that we persevered for so long!"

Mai Yuran also sighed.

Since the team was formed, they have been working non-stop, day and night.

Today is the day we finally open for business!

"Our mother has finally shown us some kindness."

"I couldn't find it anywhere for a while, but I found it all at once today."

Liu Yang rubbed his nose, which had grown to over ten centimeters long.

"It's all thanks to the captain; that old guy was pretty good at pretending."

"Sis! I was the first one to see it! I was the one who reminded the captain!"

Mai Lingbu pouted and said.

"Indeed, the credit goes to Mailingb."

Lin Xing'an lowered his eyes and said.

"Captain, should we report to the minister first?"

"I can't wait to say it," Mai Lingbu said.

"No rush, let's pack up this group of people and animals first and find out the specific results."

"Then... Captain, should we still put this old man's clothes on?"

"Of course, in a normal interrogation, do you think this animal can talk? And you can't even tell if it's true or false."

"...So...who will wear it then?"

Mai Lingbu's face showed a hint of disgust.

Lin Xing'an glanced at her.

"Let's go back to his house first and see how many animals and people are in this litter."

"Then you can keep just one."

"They all know the same thing."

Lin Xing'an looked out the window.

He was silently making plans in his mind.

He was wondering if he should pretend he knew the location of the 16th month this time...

"Makes sense."

Mai Lingbu breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Xing'an really wanted to force her to wear this old man's "painted skin"...

"Hey..."

Mai Lingbu looked at Xie Jiujiang, a chill running down his spine.

"Xiaoyang, how many people did you smell?"

Lin Xing'an parked his car opposite Binhe Primary School.

Liu Yang covered his ears and took another deep breath.

Then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After rubbing my nose, I smelled it again.

"...Captain, in this human-animal house, there are four different auras, including his."

"But now... there are only two people at home."

“One of them…”

Liu Yang smelled the scent on the tip of his nose, "It's a baby."

"The other one is the baby's mother."

He looked into the residential area.

"An infant? An animal infant?!"

Mai Lingbu and Mai Yuran shouted in unison!

Then the two of them turned to look at each other at the same time!
“I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected harvest!”

They both got excited immediately!

Infants and livestock are the hardest form of currency on the committee!

Especially in the last two years!

Since there is no guarantee that every couple in the committee will be allocated human and animal resources, babies are in high demand!

"..."

Lin Xing'an nodded silently.

Yin Hui first went inside the house to take a look.

Sure enough, he was Wenwen.

Since the child has already been born...

He no longer needs to have any reservations.

"Don't rush, this animal might be confused, you can't tell just by the smell."

"Don't make mistakes in places like this."

Lin Xing'an got out of the car.

"Mai Yuran, I'll subdue the Ghost Domain, you release it."

"Ready for a seamless transition."

He nodded to Mai Yuran.

Mai Yuran also gave him an OK sign.

Then, as Lin Xing'an reclaimed his ghost domain!
Mai Yuran's Ghost Domain was also released instantly.

"Split up and first determine if people and animals are awake, then check the surrounding environment."

"Xiaoyang, you need to locate the other owner whose aura is not at home, and then determine whether this person is a beast or a confused ghost."

"Within ten minutes, everyone must gather in this house, regardless of whether they have completed their tasks or not."

Lin Xing'an looked at the people around him.

After everyone nodded, he made a forward gesture.

Then, the figures of the group, along with the unconscious Xie Jiujiang, all disappeared under Mai Yuran's power.

……

"pat..."

"pat..."

Inside the room, Wen Wen, who was sitting on the bed staring blankly at her child, twitched her ears.

"Where did that sound of water come from..."

She frowned and looked towards the bathroom.

tick...

tick...

Wen Wen went to the bathroom.

The faucet seemed to be left running.

Drops of water are constantly dripping down and gathering in the sink.

"crunch..."

Wenwen tightened the faucet.

But as soon as I sat down back inside, less than half a minute later, the sound of dripping water came again.

A look of confusion appeared on Wen Wen's face.

The sound was not loud; you could not even hear it if you didn't listen carefully.

But once she heard it, Wenwen couldn't ignore it...

"..."

She glanced at the baby, then got up again.

When they arrived at the bathroom, Wen Wen frowned.

She just turned the tap off tightly...

But now, the faucet has shifted slightly to the right again.

Perhaps it was only a few millimeters off?

but……

Wenwen twisted it back and forth.

The faucet was tight, showing no sign of loosening, and it couldn't possibly have moved a few millimeters by itself... A strange feeling made Wen Wen swallow hard.

She looked up at her reflection in the mirror.

A mirror image of only her.

The bathroom, which is not exposed to sunlight, appears somewhat pale.

"crunch..."

At the doorway, a soft sound, like someone opening the door, came from inside.

"...Uncle?"

Wen Wen turned around and looked towards the door.

The doorknob suddenly moved without warning.

It was just a fleeting moment, with a very small amplitude.

So small it was almost like her imagination...

"...Uncle?"

Wenwen's breathing became rapid involuntarily.

But there was no further response from the doorway.

After waiting a few seconds, Wen Wen walked to the door.

After hesitating for a moment, I looked through the peephole.

Outside, there was no one.

She grasped the doorknob.

The cold metal material has no warmth at all.

This actually put Wenwen at ease a little.

"pat..."

"pat..."

In the bathroom behind me, water droplets were still being squeezed out and dripped down.

"Why hasn't Uncle come back yet...?"

Wen Wen glanced at the time.

Xie Jiujiang has been gone for over an hour...

"...Was there water on the mirror just now...?"

Back in the bathroom, Wenwen's face showed a hint of confusion.

On the mirror, a drop of water with no source is dripping from the center of the mirror.

It just so happened to split her reflection in two...

It was as if she had been cut in half...

Wenwen quickly wiped away the water!

She looked up and saw that the roof was not leaking.

That drop of water...

How did it get onto the mirror?

"ghost……?"

"It's...it's the Gluttonous Ghost...has it been you?"

"sorry Sorry!"

Wen Wen looked around, her body trembling!

She kept repeating the safety words Xu Zhe had told her to the air.

His eyes held both fear and anticipation.

These two complex and contradictory feelings made her seem somewhat insane!
"sorry Sorry sorry."

As Wen Wen spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

Because there was absolutely no reaction from the surrounding area.

Only the water droplets continued to fall, one drop at a time.

She just...acted like a lunatic...

"..."

Wenwen looked in the mirror again.

The drop of water that split the mirror in two had already fallen to the ground and seeped into the crack beneath the mirror.

Only a vertical line remained in the center of the mirror.

A vertical line, like a line of light and shadow, divides her in two.

This scene caused Wen Wen to suddenly shake his head frantically, as if he had been stressed.

"I do not have……"

"I did it all for my child, I just wanted my child to live, what did I do wrong..."

"What did I do wrong..."

Wenwen raised her hand and rubbed her fingers hard on the mirror, trying to wipe away the trace left by the water droplet!

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo..."

But wiping away the mark that divided the mirror left even more fingerprints on it.

This made her reflection even more blurry.

pat, pat...

The water droplets are still dripping.

The voice, as if mocking, drilled into Wenwen's ears.

"crunch..."

Wen gritted his teeth and tightened the faucet again.

Then, as if still not satisfied, after twisting it to the end, he used both hands to forcefully pry it open again.

It made the water pipes shake.

It's like they're competing with someone!
She kept turning until she reached a negative angle, until she couldn't turn it any further, before she finally stopped, panting heavily.

He didn't leave, but stood there staring at the faucet for a while.

The tap stopped running.

No more water droplets fell.

Quietly, as if nothing had happened.

"call……"

Wen Wen patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

He slumped against the wall, looking rather dejected.

“Bang!!!”

But the next second!
The iron basin and kitchen knife hanging in the kitchen looked as if they had been slammed to the ground!
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
The loud noise startled Wen Wen, who jumped and her eyes widened instantly!

"..."

She patted her chest, pale-faced and panting, staring at the iron basin on the ground, which had just calmed down, still in shock.

And the kitchen knife next to the iron basin.

"Whoosh!"

Before she could react!
The faucet she had just tightened was suddenly turned on full blast!
The water pipes fixed to the wall twitched uncontrollably, as if a snake had been caught by its vital spot!
A powerful jet of water gushed out!
It hit the pool, the tiles, the wall, and splashed onto Wenwen!
Wenwen wanted to turn the faucet back on!
But the switch seems to have suddenly broken!
The icy water kept gushing out!

Unstoppable splashing!

She tried to plug the opening, but the water just sprayed out even more!
"Bang!!!"

In the kitchen, pots and pans danced and fell to the ground one by one!

They collided with each other, producing a terrifyingly loud sound!

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of urgent knocks came from outside!

Then came the sound of the door being slammed!

Wen Wen quickly turned around.

"Clang, clang!"

The crack in the door was kicked wider and wider!
The door handle felt like it was being gripped and pressed down and shaken repeatedly!
It felt like something was outside, ready to burst in at any moment!
"Whoosh!"

For some reason, the showerhead next to me suddenly started spraying water like crazy!

In an instant, Wenwen was drenched from head to toe!
This sent a chill down Wen Wen's spine!

"Crash!"

The toilet flushed automatically without any warning!

"Boom!"

The exhaust fan in the bathroom started up.

"Buzz!"

The old washing machine next to Wen Wen suddenly started to vibrate!
It looked as if the clothes inside were being spun dry!
All the sounds came out suddenly!

Then they all converged and rushed into Wenwen's mind!

This made Wen Wen's already somewhat fragile mind feel like it was about to explode!
But they didn't give her any time to react or catch her breath!

"Crack, click, click!"

The cabinet door in the kitchen, which contained the bowls, suddenly opened.

The porcelain bowls and plates inside looked like diving athletes, jumping one after another onto the ground and shattering into pieces!

Fragments flew and landed at Wenwen's feet!
"Crack crack crack... Whoosh!"

Suddenly, blue flames ignited on the stove!
The banging on the door outside was getting louder and louder!
Then...

"Wow!!!"

The baby's heart-wrenching, loud cries instantly broke Wenwen, who was soaked to the bone!
"Ah! Don't!"

"Stop scaring me!"

"Stop scaring me!!!"

"I'm one of yours! I have a baby! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"What exactly do you want to do! What exactly do you want to do!"

"Don't scare me anymore! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Wen Wen, in a fit of despair, picked up the toothbrush cup from the sink and smashed it on the floor!

With his eyes closed, he screamed and shouted in despair!

The sounds, attempting to drown out everything around her and piercing her ears, drove her almost mad!

"call……"

"call……"

After she finished shouting like that...

The water that had been flowing uncontrollably from the tap finally stopped, as if it had received a command.

Other sounds also disappeared without a trace.
