Chapter 300: Baby Case (3)
After Zhang Qian straightened his clothes, he walked towards the steward's hall. When he entered, he took the initiative to greet some people. One of them said, "Brother Zhang, why are you here at this time?"
He waved his hand irritably and said, "Don't mention it. I sleepwalked outside last night and was scared to death when I woke up this morning."
The man naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any more questions. After all, Zhang Qian was a highly valued person here and was his senior.
Zhang Qian walked to his seat and sat down. Not long after, someone came over and called him, "Brother Zhang, the hall master is looking for you."
His hands trembled a little, and he replied as calmly as possible: "Okay, I understand."
Zhang Qian walked to the meeting room and bowed his head respectfully, "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Xiao Qian, I heard that you came back from outside the town this morning in a mess?"
He lowered his head and said, "That's right. I sleepwalked yesterday and scared myself when I woke up."
The hall master smiled and touched the armrest of the chair, then continued, "By the way, where were you that night half a month ago?"
Zhang Qian broke out in a cold sweat, and finally knelt on the ground with a plop, saying, "Master, I didn't see anything."
The hall master's smile deepened, and he said, "Xiao Qian, don't be afraid. Tell me, what did you see?"
He lowered his head, his face pale, and finally stammered, "I, I saw the deputy hall master holding... holding a baby."
Zhang Qian kowtowed frantically as he spoke: "Master, I just want to live. As long as I live, I will do anything!"
The hall master sat quietly on the high seat, looking down at him until his head was bleeding. Then he called out to stop: "Xiao Qian, do you know why I only came to you now?"
Zhang Qian knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the floor, and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know."
"We've been watching you for the past two weeks. You've been very sensible and haven't said anything, except this morning."
He trembled and cried, "I really was sleepwalking, Hall Master, please believe me."
The hall master nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe you, but you have to listen to me, and I will make you a steward."
Zhang Qian's eyes suddenly became greedy: "Don't worry, Master, I dare to do anything!"
After Zhang Qian left, the deputy hall master came out and said, "Will he betray us? It would be better to kill him."
"This man is cowardly and greedy, he wouldn't have the guts to do that. Besides, once he works for us, he won't even have the chance to betray us." The hall master smiled strangely, "We have too few people, and he happens to have a high position in the hall. It's only natural to promote him."
"Then why not just..." The deputy hall master swallowed the rest of his words.
"Don't forget, our infection ability is too weak. We don't have time for him to adapt, and he's bound to be discovered by others. Why not make him do something he can't turn back from, and then threaten him to bring more people here? Isn't that a good idea?"
The deputy hall master was still a little hesitant, but he didn't know what to say.
After Zhang Qian returned home, he collapsed on the ground. With trembling hands, he took out the photo ball. A man in black appeared over there. "Tell me, what's going on?"
He cautiously probed, "You asked me to gain their trust, and I've almost accomplished that. But I'm worried they might do something to my family."
"Let them go back to your hometown and do as I say, and they will be safe."
After Tao Zi put the photo ball away, she slowly finished her snacks.
The list I saw at night recorded that there were fifteen people who collected information, and among these fifteen, only Zhang Qian survived.
She won the bet. There was a reason why Zhang Qian could live so long. He was indeed useful for those things.
Tao Zi thought about it and could guess part of the reason. It was nothing more than precise selection, letting these fifteen people find something wrong. Whoever could endure it longer would be likely to become one of her own from the bottom of his heart.
But in this case, could those people be fake demons? Why do we need to consider these things instead of converting them directly?
But if it’s not a fake demon, then what could it be?
After thinking about it, she decided to put this issue aside for the time being and contact Cheng Wuchou first to ask them to keep an eye on Zhang Qian's family in secret.
How can I contact them? I didn't leave them any contact talismans or sound transmission notes... This is really troublesome. Maybe I should let Xi Jing learn how to make sound transmission notes.
At this moment, Tao Zi suddenly thought of the little fox, and without thinking, she contacted it through the contract and told it everything she wanted to do at once.
Two cold laughs were heard from the little fox, and then there was no movement.
What's wrong with this beast?
Tao Zi was even more confused.
Two days later, Zhang Qian suddenly sent her a message asking for help, and Tao Zi rushed over.
As soon as he arrived, Zhang Qian was surrounded by a group of "people" with strange expressions. The leading "person" said in a hoarse voice: "Zhang Qian, you have discovered our biggest secret. If you don't listen to us, you will die."
"I will listen, I really will!"
Another "person" said, "You can listen, so why did you follow me secretly?"
Zhang Qian's forehead was sweating. "I...I'm just curious."
The "person" continued, "I knew you weren't sleepwalking that morning, right? I'm also curious, how did you disappear under supervision?"
He knelt on the ground and heard only one sentence that made him despair: "Master, make him one of your own. If he finds anything wrong, just kill him."
"What a shame. If you had done something for us, it wouldn't matter if you were discovered. There's no turning back anyway, but you haven't done it yet. Xiao Qian, it's not that the hall master is cruel, it's just that you discovered it too quickly."
The hall master was really regretful. They just lacked a mortal who was capable and courageous enough to handle some problems for them. Now they had to look for someone new.
Just as they were about to take action, a puzzled hoarse female voice rang out: "Your name is Zhang Qian."
Zhang Qian was stunned when he saw the pretty girl.
Tao Zi said calmly, "Someone asked me to come and save you, but it's not convenient for him to show up."
He cried with joy.
Those "people" were furious and rushed over. She took out her signature powder hammer and smashed them into bones. One of them did not turn into bones, but turned into an extremely ugly alien. Tao Zi controlled it with her spiritual energy and then killed it.
Fortunately, this alien race is not very powerful, otherwise this kind of possessed alien race would be really difficult to deal with - the possessed alien race must be killed twice, and the second time must use Qi, it doesn't matter if it is spiritual Qi, demonic Qi or demonic Qi. Other non-possessed alien races do not have so many requirements, but similarly, the combat effectiveness of non-possessed alien races will be stronger.
Zhang Qian knelt on the ground and kowtowed sincerely. Tao Zi glanced at him and said, "I owe that person a favor. You don't have to thank me. I'm just repaying the favor."
