"Heh, you think you can fight me with that pathetic look? Dream on!"
Ya Zi stood on the giant centipede's head, hands on his hips, laughing triumphantly.
When Yue Jiuling saw that the giant centipede had been caught, she took out her phone and said, "Now that it's caught, let's call them in. As long as we hand it over, we won't worry about the rest."
But just as Yue Jiuling was about to make a phone call, the giant centipede under Ya Zi's feet suddenly spoke: "Wait, aren't you from the Metaphysics Management Office?"
"Of course we are, but we're not from this city, we're from a branch office. What? Does that mean we can't arrest you?"
Ya Zi looked down at the giant centipede from his high position.
"No, that's not what I meant," the giant centipede suddenly became excited after hearing the two people say they weren't from this city. It even seemed a little pleased as it said, "Wait, I have something to say. Don't make any phone calls or call anyone from this city!"
"Huh? Why? Do you think that even if they don't come, you'll still have a chance to escape?"
Yue Jiuling thought the giant centipede was stalling for time and trying to escape.
"No, that's not what I meant. I knew it! How could those trash in this city be so powerful? You guys are nothing like ordinary monsters. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost so badly. But I really do have something to tell you."
The giant centipede was afraid that Yue Jiuling would call for help, so it hurriedly said, "Don't call yet, listen to me first. I'll tell you a secret. Actually, I was framed. I didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I discovered Liu Jie's secret, so I was framed and imprisoned."
"Liu Jie? What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Liu Jie, the vice president of the Metaphysics Association, is slandering you?"
Upon hearing the giant centipede's words, Yue Jiuling immediately put down her phone, but she still looked at the giant centipede warily and said, "Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"
Seeing that Yue Jiuling was finally interested in what he had said, the giant centipede immediately said, "That's right, it's that half-demon Liu Jie. He's still the vice president. Don't you find that strange? How can a half-demon become the vice president so easily and stay in that position for so long?"
"Why? I don't care what other people want to be, I just want to know what this secret you're talking about is all about! Tell me now!"
Hearing the giant centipede still whining, Ya Zi stomped on its head again, causing the centipede to cry out in pain, "Ouch! Sir, please be gentle! I told you so!"
The giant centipede was in so much pain from being trampled by Yazi that its eyes were brimming with tears. Then it transformed back into human form, a dark-skinned middle-aged man.
The giant centipede rubbed its head and said, "Grandpa, brother, can I get up before we talk? It's tiring lying like this."
"Troublesome, isn't your true form supposed to be lying down? Why are you transforming into human form?"
Although Ya Zi was very annoyed by the giant centipede, he eventually let go of it and allowed it to get up. He wasn't worried that the centipede would run away because he was sure he could catch it.
However, this giant centipede was clever; after it got up, it stood there obediently and showed no sign of trying to run away.
Seeing his hesitant demeanor, Yue Jiuling asked, "Hey, can you tell me what the secret is now?"
"Yes, yes, I'll tell you now, I'll tell you now~"
The giant centipede stood aside and explained his situation. He said, "Actually, I met Liu Jie decades ago. Back then, we were just ordinary colleagues and worked together in the management office. However, because my cultivation has been over three thousand years and he is only a half-demon, I am considered a team leader in our department and am almost promoted to director."
However, later, because we were tracking a demon who had come from the demon realm, our department started working day and night. But then I discovered something: half of the information we received was actually wrong. So I suspected that there was a mole in our department, and our department head at the time also noticed something was wrong.
After investigating for a long time, I accidentally discovered that the traitor was Liu Jie. Just as I was about to arrest him, I was ambushed by demons who had colluded with the enemy. When I woke up, I found myself imprisoned, accused of treason against the demons!
When the giant centipede got to this point, he was still quite angry. Even though so many years had passed, the grievances and injustices he had suffered over the years still made him indignant and resentful!
"When I was wronged, I asked many friends for help, but I didn't expect that none of them could help me. Moreover, a lot of the evidence of treason was fabricated, making it impossible for me to clear my name. So I was imprisoned for so long, while that damned Liu Jie was able to live a carefree life outside for so long, and even became the vice president!"
The giant centipede got angrier and angrier as it talked, and the last sentence was almost a shout!
Listening to this, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi felt the situation was becoming increasingly serious. If what the giant centipede said was true, then Liu Jie was in big trouble. After all, he had been colluding with the demon race for many years, and now... the number of demons he knew had only increased.
Moreover, demons generally don't do anything good when they come to the human world, so Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi were quite worried that they might cause big trouble here.
