6: Number 136!

Soon, the three returned to the classroom.

Lin Qi Ye's hands were covered in cold sweat at this moment.

The cold sweat was Li Yifei's.

“Phew!” Li Yifei let out a long breath, “We’re finally back, everyone start eating!”

It wasn't until he returned to the classroom that Li Yifei felt a sense of security.

Lin Qi Ye subtly wiped the sweat from his hands and asked, “Li Yifei, are you okay?”

“Huh? I’m fine, this crispy potato is especially delicious, Lin Qi Ye, hurry up and try it!”

Li Yifei feigned calmness, but inside, he was crying uncontrollably.

Although he didn't know that young man, he didn't know why, but he was just scared, and he would never dare to go to that stall again.

Thinking that such delicious potatoes could only be eaten this last time, Li Yifei's sadness increased a few points.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to continue, Lin Qi Ye felt awkward asking more questions.

However, with his Mortal Divine Realm, he “saw” very clearly.

Li Yifei's abnormal behavior all started after he arrived at that snack stall.

There was nothing unusual about that stall! Or was it that Li Yifei was not afraid of the stall, but of that person?

Lin Qi Ye could feel that when Li Yifei spoke to the young man at the stall, his voice was trembling.

However, there was no such situation when talking to the stall owner.

What on earth was the reason for this?

Could it be that there was even bullying outside of school here?

Had that young man at the stall mugged Li Yifei after school?

After all, this was a school, and it was possible for such things to happen.

Lin Qi Ye had an idea in his mind; if the other party was truly a bully, he would definitely target others, including himself.

“I’m full, thank you, Li Yifei!”

Jiang Qian wiped her mouth with a wet wipe; the potatoes in her bowl were not finished, with a few left.

Li Yifei was still thinking about Song Zhong, and seeing that Jiang Qian hadn't finished, he asked:

“Class Monitor, are you already full?”

Jiang Qian's face immediately darkened again, “Li Yifei, please remove the words ‘already’!”

“Oh, oh!” Li Yifei regained his composure, “Then you’re not eating anymore, right?”

Li Yifei pointed to the remaining potatoes in Jiang Qian's bowl.

“I can’t finish so much, what’s wrong?” Jiang Qian didn't understand what Li Yifei wanted to do.

After confirming that Jiang Qian wouldn't eat anymore, under her and Lin Qi Ye's “gaze,” Li Yifei poured the remaining potatoes into his own bowl.

Lin Qi Ye's mouth slightly opened, and he quickly stuffed a potato into his mouth.

Jiang Qian, however, considered more.

She was surprised at first, then, perhaps thinking of something, her face turned red, and her tone became a little strange.

“Li Yifei, what… what are you doing?” Jiang Qian asked.

“Eating, of course! When I bought the potatoes, didn’t that young man say that they were hard to make and we shouldn’t waste food!”

Lin Qi Ye: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

Jiang Qian: ￣□￣｜｜

“You… you…”

Jiang Qian stammered “you” for a long time, but finally decided to shut up; she couldn't understand this guy's thought process.

Li Yifei ate his portion completely clean and quickly devoured Jiang Qian's leftover potatoes.

“Burp!” Li Yifei let out a satisfied burp, “So full!”

At this time, Lin Qi Ye had also finished his potatoes.

Li Yifei tidied up the table and turned to go out to throw away the trash.

Seeing Li Yifei leave, Jiang Qian said, “Lin Qi Ye, don’t mind him. Although Li Yifei seems a bit silly, he’s actually not smart at all!”

Lin Qi Ye: ???

So, what are you trying to express?

“But Li Yifei is warm-hearted, and he’s a very good person!” Jiang Qian continued.

Lin Qi Ye nodded, “I can feel that, and the classmates in the class are also very friendly! But I have a question, is the business of that snack stall always so good?”

Lin Qi Ye planned to learn about Song Zhong indirectly.

“Yes, the owner of that shop uses good ingredients, the taste is good, and the portions are generous, so the reputation is excellent! He used to run the stall alone, but recently it seems he’s too busy, so he hired someone to help him!” Jiang Qian said.

“Indeed, with such good business, he must be too busy!”

Lin Qi Ye was thoughtful; Jiang Qian hadn't mentioned anything about school bullying.

Given her personality, if there was such a danger outside, Jiang Qian would definitely warn him.

Since he had guessed wrong, why was Li Yifei so scared?

Soon, Li Yifei returned.

The lunch break wasn't long, and as the three of them chatted, it was time for class.

Cangnan City, Peace Bridge, Peacekeeping Bureau.

At this moment, in the underground office, everyone was gathered around Si Xiaonan, who had just come out of the laboratory.

“How is it, Xiaonan? Do you have a result?” Wu Xiangnan asked.

“Yes, yes!” Si Xiaonan.

“I compared it to the database; this Mysterious is called a Nanda Snake Demon!”

“Nanda Snake Demon? The name doesn’t sound familiar!” Zhao Kongcheng stroked his chin.

At this point, Si Xiaonan spoke, “The Nanda Snake Demon is an ancient Mysterious, possessing super strong camouflage abilities and intelligence no less than that of humans!”

Intelligence?

As soon as this word came out, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

They weren't afraid of Mysterious with strong combat power; they were afraid of Mysterious that thought.

Because this meant that the complexity of dealing with them would increase exponentially.

“I don’t like Mysterious with brains!” Hong Ying bit into a cake and said.

Chen Muye's expression was calm, “Xiaonan, is there any other information?”

Si Xiaonan nodded and continued, “I checked the data, this Mysterious can swallow creatures and plant snake seeds within their bodies, transforming their shells into its offspring and controlling their actions!”

“However, there are restrictions on the production of snake seeds; the main body can only produce one snake seed per day, and the offspring can only produce one snake seed every three days. The combat power of the main body and offspring is not high, at least not before they reach adulthood!”

Upon hearing that this Mysterious possessed a reproductive ability, Chen Muye's brows furrowed.

“Is there any other information?”

Si Xiaonan shook her head, “There are too few records about the Nanda Snake Demon, only these. However, regarding that Mysterious person, I have some discoveries.”

“Tell me!” Chen Muye still had a very deep impression of that young man.

The other team members also stopped what they were doing; after all, a wild Forbidden Territory owner was very rare.

“I examined the sealed bags you brought back; the remaining tissues inside are all from the Ghost Face. And among them, several are clearly Ghost Face’s pinky fingernails.”

Wen Qimo and Wu Xiangnan exchanged glances.

From the very beginning, when they saw the corpse of the Nanda Snake Demon's offspring, they were curious about the missing pinky fingernails.

Now, Si Xiaonan's statement further confirmed their previous suspicions.

“So, he collected ten Mysterious pinky fingernails?” Hong Ying asked.

Si Xiaonan nodded, “Although it sounds a bit incomprehensible, I have a hunch that he must be collecting these.”

Zhao Kongcheng took a cigarette from his pocket and sniffed it under his nose.

There were girls in the basement, so he didn't light it.

“What kind of strange habit is this? Collecting trophies?” Zhao Kongcheng couldn't understand, because doing so wasn't cool at all.

Leng Xuan shook his head, “It’s not collecting!”

The others all turned their gazes towards him; just like his name, Leng Xuan rarely spoke.

Chen Muye looked at Leng Xuan and asked, “Tell me your thoughts!”

“If it were collecting, why would he leave these sealed bags? Wouldn’t it be better to just take them away?”

The others pondered; indeed, if the other party was just collecting, it would be better to just pull off the pinky fingernails and take them away. Why would he also take out the other trophies?

“I think this is more like a ritual!” Leng Xuan spoke again.

“Ritual?” Zhao Kongcheng asked, “Why?”

“A hunch, just like me, I always pray before every mission!” Leng Xuan said.

“Huh? Why does that sound a bit perverted?” Zhao Kongcheng blurted out.

Leng Xuan felt attacked and looked at Zhao Kongcheng unkindly.

Zhao Kongcheng quickly explained, “No, I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking about that Mysterious person!”

“Cough cough!” Chen Muye coughed, “Leng Xuan’s guess is also a possibility, but currently this wild Forbidden Territory owner hasn’t shown any harmfulness, so let’s list him for investigation first!”

Si Xiaonan nodded, “Captain, these materials have already been archived. The Nanda Snake Demon’s number is 135, and the wild Forbidden Territory owner’s number is 136!”
