Xiao Ze looked at the scene before him, his heart pounding with grief. However, despite the torment in his heart, he pulled out a silver pistol from his waist and pointed the black muzzle at Xie Qi on the bed.
Xiao Ze pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Who... are you?"
As the head of the Supervisory Bureau, Xiao Ze is well aware of the heavy responsibility he shoulders. Even though he has unspeakable selfish feelings towards Xie Qi, for the safety of mankind, he will never let go of any suspicious trace.
At this moment, Xie Qi also knew that he had been completely exposed and it was meaningless to continue hiding it.
After careful consideration, he decided not to hide anything anymore, but there was one crucial condition: he had to play the role of an innocent victim in order to completely eliminate any doubts the other party might have about him.
So, Xie Qi carefully moved his body and finally sat face to face with Xiao Ze. At the same time, he pulled the white bed sheet over his body and pressed it tightly above his head.
At this moment, only his face was exposed, as if he was very afraid that Xiao Ze would see the unique pair of ears on his head.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice trembled uncontrollably as he spoke, "Are you...are you with those bad guys? Are you going to kill me?"
However, Xie Qi's series of strange actions made Xiao Ze, who had been calm and composed, suddenly become a little at a loss.
He couldn't help but think to himself: Why is it that in this situation, I look like an unforgivable villain?
At this moment, Xie Qi continued, "I don't want to have ears like this either. I also hope to be like a normal person. But... I've been like this since I was very young."
After hearing what Xie Qi said, Xiao Ze's heart moved slightly, and he instantly put away the gun in his hand.
Then he quickly asked, "Didn't you run away from the demon world?"
Facing Xiao Ze's sudden question, Xie Qi's face suddenly showed a trace of confusion. He blinked his big eyes, shook his head and replied: "What...what demon world? I have never heard of this place."
Seeing Xie Qi's reaction, Xiao Ze couldn't help but frown and asked, "What about the monster certificate? And other monsters, have you ever encountered them? You should know something about the Supervisory Bureau that is responsible for supervising monster affairs, right?"
However, Xie Qi still shook his head with an innocent look on his face, his clear eyes revealing confusion and puzzlement.
At this moment, Xiao Ze was closely watching Xie Qi's reaction, and the tension in his heart gradually relaxed. He slowly walked to the bedside and sat down gently, next to Xie Qi. After sighing helplessly, he asked softly, "So, where did you come from..."
Just as he was halfway through his words, Xiao Ze suddenly seemed to remember something important. He turned his head abruptly, staring directly at Xie Qi with a sharp gaze, and asked anxiously, "Wait! What exactly do you mean by bad guys? Why do you say I'm in cahoots with those bad guys?"
Facing Xiao Ze's question, Xie Qi lowered his head slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly recounted, "I was still young at that time, and I saw a group of people holding the same silver pistol you just used. They took away my parents' bodies, sold our house, and wanted to kill monsters like me. I was so scared that I ran outside, and was found by a grandfather who passed by and took him home."
However, the experience Xie Qi described was actually entirely from the original owner's perspective. In the original owner's memory, these people holding silver pistols specialized in hunting monsters like them.
Now, in order to successfully gain the trust of the Supervisory Bureau and draw their attention and concern to this old matter, Xie Qi had no choice but to throw some black water on the Supervisory Bureau first, hoping that this would allow them to re-investigate the past.
However, when Xiao Ze heard Xie Qi's words, his brows furrowed more and more, because this kind of silver pistol was only carried by people in the Supervisory Bureau, and it was specially used to shoot evil spirits.
If what Xie Qi said was true, then something must have gone wrong within the Supervisory Bureau.
Then, Xiao Ze calmed down and asked Xie Qi about the details of the incident again. Facing Xiao Ze's questioning, Xie Qi hesitated for a moment and then told him the story.
As Xie Qi narrated, Xiao Ze gradually pieced together the general outline of the whole incident. At the same time, he finally understood why Xie Qi, although a monster, did not have a monster certificate, but had a seemingly normal human identity.
"Then what's with the demonic energy on you?"
"Well, my father is human, and I don't have any youkai characteristics. I was born human. If that incident hadn't scared my ears out, I might have been human my whole life. So the youkai aura might be relatively... weak."
However, at this moment, Xiao Ze suddenly moved closer without any warning, his eyes as deep as a pool of water fixed tightly on Xie Qi, his gaze sharp and fiery, as if he wanted to peek into the deepest secrets of the other's heart through his eyes.
He slowly said, "No matter how faint it is, it's impossible that there is none at all."
Hearing this, Xie Qi was slightly startled, and a trace of guilt appeared on his face. He couldn't say that 948 was given to him.
After a brief hesitation, he refused to admit it and replied, "I'm not sure about that either. Maybe it's because I'm half-demon. I've always been able to control the release of demonic energy."
Xiao Ze stared at Xie Qi in front of him and wanted to continue asking questions, but for some reason, he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
