God of Pets

Chapter 428 A Loyal and Righteous Person
Chen Guan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the paper figure had actually been upgraded.

The paper doll, which was originally level 20, has now leveled up to level 21, and it even has pupils in its eyes.

The addition of pupils instantly brought the paper figure to life, making it appear more vibrant than before, which was merely a shape without spirit.

"Dotting the eyes of a paper doll... this is not a good omen..." Chen Guan didn't mind these things; he just remembered that there was such a saying.

Paper Doll (Mystic God): Level 21

Vitality: 244.

Growth rate: 3.0.

Innate talent: ???

Secret method: ???

Secret Technique: ???

Secret treasure:? ? ? .

Secret Treasure: The Underworld Emperor.

Chen Guan discovered that he could actually see the paper doll's secret: "The Netherworld Emperor's finger strike was actually a gift to the paper doll."

Chen Guan didn't have time to investigate further; he quickly went to check on Fu Tianji and Xiu Jieming's injuries.

Fu Tianji is immortal, and his body is rapidly repairing itself, so there are no major problems.

However, the damaged parts of Zi Xuan need energy to repair themselves, or they need time to heal slowly on their own.

Xiu Jieming's injuries were not as serious as he had imagined. His ruptured heart, perhaps due to the golden man's possession, had been repaired.

After confirming that the two were alright, Chen Guan went to check on Hu Quan, who was hanging in the tree.

"Is he dead?" Chen asked, looking at Hu Quan in the tree.

“Almost there…” Hu Quan answered with difficulty.

"Do you want to live or die?" Chen Guan asked.

"Can I still live?" Hu Quan's saliva mixed with blood dripped continuously from the corner of his mouth, forming long strands, making him look half-dead.

“I can try, but why should I save you?” Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"What do you want? If I have it, I'll give it to you." Of course, Hu Quan didn't want to die; who would want to die when they could live?

“I’m not very familiar with the Inspection Department. If I knew someone there, wouldn’t it be easier to get things done in the future?” Chen Guan said.

"You might as well kill me." Hu Quan immediately closed his eyes.

Letting him be an inside man is worse than killing him.

He's dead now, but at least he sacrificed himself for the Bureau of Investigation. His wife, children, and family will be taken care of in the future.

If the traitor is discovered, not only will he die, but his family will also be implicated.

"Alright, tough guy, then I'll send you on your way and make your suffering less." Chen Guan drew the Miao Sha sword from his waist and was about to cut off Hu Quan's head.

"Wait..." Hu Quan suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.

"Don't worry, my sword is very fast. It will be over in no time, and you won't suffer much," Chen Guan said seriously.

"No...we can talk again...I'm willing to do anything except be an informant..." Hu Quan stammered.

"I'll send you on your way." Chen Guan raised his sword again.

"No, no, no... We can discuss this some more..." Hu Quan hurriedly shouted.

“There’s nothing to discuss. I respect a tough guy like you and will grant your loyalty…” Chen Guan said, then brought his sword down directly. “I…I’ll be the traitor…No…Don’t cut me…” Hu Quan shouted with his eyes closed.

"Is that so? How can I trust you then? Who knows if you'll turn against me after you go back?" Chen Guan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, it's too troublesome. Let's just kill him."

"I...I have a way..." Hu Quan shouted repeatedly.

"Tell me," Chen Guan said, putting down his sword to hear what Hu Quan had to say.

After listening to Hu Quan's method, Chen Guan nodded and said, "That's a good idea. I'll give it a try. Whether you live or die depends on your fate. You know how badly you're injured, so I can't guarantee I can save you."

"Sir, you've done your best. Our whole family is grateful for your great kindness." Hu Quan thought to himself, "Then hurry up and stop talking. If this continues, I'll bleed to death."

Chen Guan took out some pills and fed them to Hu Quan. Since they were all medicines for injuries, he couldn't guarantee whether they would heal Hu Quan's injuries.

Surprisingly, Hu Quan was incredibly lucky; he actually survived.

"Old Hu, will you be loyal to me?" Chen Guan asked as he pulled Hu Quan down from the tree and looked at him, who was panting and resting.

"Of course, you saved my life. If I betrayed you, wouldn't I be a beast?" Hu Quan quickly said seriously.

“But I really don’t trust your character,” Chen Guan said.

“Didn’t I place a blood curse? If I dare to betray you, the blood curse will surely take effect and I will die a horrible death,” Hu Quan said.

"Is there no one in the Inspection Department who can break the Blood Curse?" Chen Guan asked.

Hu Quan's heart skipped a beat, but he swore an oath: "My lord, the blood curse is unbreakable, and no one can break it. You must believe me. If I betray you, the blood curse will surely strike and I will die a horrible death."

"Well, I'll trust you this once. Here's what we'll do: I know a lie detector technique. If you pass it, I'll completely trust you," Chen Guan said with a smile.

Hu Quan was both shocked and panicked. He never expected that Chen Guan would possess such a secret technique.

"Don't panic, don't panic, it's just a lie detector test. The supervisory department has this kind of training. As long as I can fool myself, neither lie detectors nor lie detection techniques should be useful." Hu Quan immediately began to mentally prepare himself, hypnotizing himself.

As long as he hypnotizes himself, he cannot be detected, because in that situation, he is telling the truth, or at least what he believes to be the truth.

Chen Guan reached out and pressed his hand on Hu Quan's head, and Hu Quan immediately felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing into his brain.

"Old Hu, who will you be loyal to from now on?" Chen Guan asked.

“Of course it’s you, sir,” Hu Quan replied immediately.

"If I tell you to die, will you die?" Chen Guan asked again.

"As long as you give the order, I will go through fire and water without batting an eye." Hu Quan said without hesitation; he had successfully hypnotized and brainwashed himself.

He now believes he is loyal to Chen Guan, so no amount of testing will change that.

"You won't tell the people in the inspection department about what happened here when you get back, will you?" Chen Guan continued to ask.

"Absolutely not. From now on, I will only be loyal to you, my lord, and I will never leak anything about you." Hu Quan's attitude was very firm.

"..."

Chen Guan asked many more questions before removing his hand from Hu Quan's head and saying with a smile, "You are indeed a loyal and righteous person. Follow me closely from now on."

"I will certainly do anything for you, sir..." Hu Quan breathed a long sigh of relief, finally having passed Chen Guan's test.

Once everyone's injuries had healed to the point where they could no longer impair their mobility, the four of them finally returned to the imperial mausoleum via the ancient well.

The female general escorted them out. Chen Guan originally wanted to ask what was inside the Death Gate and the other gate, but in the end he didn't.

Chen Guan was pondering what the Netherworld Emperor meant by those words.
