Xie Mian closed her eyes instinctively.
For some reason, his sixth sense was frantically sounding the alarm, telling him not to look.
It had only been a few days since the last contamination, and Xie Mian's mind was still in a very unstable state. However, at the same time, his inspiration was even more acute.
Just a quick glance was enough to make Xie Mian feel dizzy and lightheaded.
As expected, this monster was in disguise!
That was just to lower his guard, and then I used this method to corrupt him.
Xie Mian stood up abruptly.
The cubs were startled, and Saji immediately stepped in front of Qianyuan, watching Xie Mian warily.
Qianyuan thought that Xie Mian didn't like his painting because it was too ugly, so he wanted to explain. But as soon as the cub uttered a "ah" in a chaotic language, Xie Mian immediately knelt down on the ground.
All I can say is that Qian Yuan was right not to speak Chaos Language to Zhou Jinze and the others by some twist of fate.
This level of pollution is simply unbearable for a normal person.
Xie Mian felt as if his soul had been ripped away, cast a gaze from an extremely high and distant place. Under this powerful gaze, his spirit merged into the chaos, accompanied by the constant, resounding murmurs:
"Praise you, sing your praises..."
Great—
■■■■■
Just as Xie Mian was about to collapse into a pile of mud, Qian Yuan stuffed a fruit hard candy that was full of artificial flavoring into Xie Mian's mouth.
It's so sweet, it hurts my teeth.
But the moment he tasted the sweetness, everything around him fell silent.
Xie Mian, with candy in her mouth, knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
"...Thank you for your kindness."
The cub tugged at the dog's head a few times, not understanding why Xie Mian was so agitated, but Xie Mian was crying, which was a bit pitiful. The little guy crawled under his head and reached out to wipe his tears.
Xie Mian only came to her senses in the chaos. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess, and she didn't notice Qian Yuan's movements. She just lay on the ground and cried for a long time.
Upon hearing the report, Zhou Jinze rushed over, his impatient expression suggesting that the cub had been bullied. However, upon entering, he found Xie Mian lying on the floor, crying uncontrollably, and he was at a loss for words.
"Are you... alright? He's a good kid, and he's not aggressive. I'm not here because of him, nor to blame you, but because the previous leader of this base was my teacher."
Xie Mian had never heard Zhou Jinze speak so gently before, but that didn't matter now. He got up from the ground on his own, ignoring Zhou Jinze, and respectfully addressed Qian Yuan:
"I'm leaving."
After that, Xie Mian never bothered Qian Yuan again.
When asked by the others in the group, Xie Mian remained silent, only telling them to stay away from Zhou Jinze and the little girl next to him.
This is not something humans can provoke; all beings below the gods are mere ants.
They can only stay away from here and maintain this status quo where no one dares to expose it.
Although the others were unaware of what was going on, they still obeyed Captain Xie Mian's orders.
Bo Yuchuan was initially worried that Xie Mian would report Qian Yuan's situation, but Xie Mian simply shook her head: "How could I dare?"
Xie Mian's cryptic demeanor piqued Bo Yuchuan's curiosity. He wanted to ask Xie Mian what he had seen, but Xie Mian wouldn't say, instead appearing reverent. Bo Yuchuan almost wanted to pry open Xie Mian's head and see for himself.
Xie Mian finally told him, "Knowing too much is not a good thing."
Bo Yuchuan: I want to know!! I'm willing!!
Bo Yuchuan looked frustrated, and Lin Jue said he looked like he had been constipated for several days.
Bo Yuchuan couldn't get answers from the cubs, nor from Xie Mian, but now he finally had a sucker to vent his anger on. The next second, Lin Jue was thrown out of a lot of work.
Before Xie Mian left, Zhou Jinze wanted to have a good talk with her, not only because of Xie Mian's unusual behavior, but also because the cub had been worried about Xie Mian these past few days.
Zhou Jinze, who never considers the feelings of his subordinates, is also planning to start violating his own principles.
However, Xie Mian and the others left in a hurry, giving Zhou Jinze no chance at all.
However, only five hours had passed...
Xie Mian and the others ran back in a disheveled state.
Upon returning to the base, Xie Mian seemed to be searching for someone, until he saw the cub appear, at which point he lowered his eyes in fear.
Next, contrary to their usual behavior, they decided to stay there and not leave.
"Captain Zhou, just like before, recruit us."
Zhou Jinze disagreed: "How can you do something against headquarters' orders? Besides, I'm no longer the captain."
Xie Mian couldn't tell Zhou Jinze what had happened to him, but he could selectively reveal: "On our way back, we encountered that high-level monster again..."
This time, before the high-level monsters could devour them, they encountered Xie Mian as if they had touched a hot potato, and tried to run away with their tails between their legs, but were still torn apart by a black wind.
That wind was Qing Lianye, who was out on patrol.
With his lower body still inside the monster's mouth, Xie Mian felt as if he were being protected by the gods. He couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran back to the base.
The other team members, having experienced mental pollution a second time, were also terrified and unanimously agreed.
Hearing Xie Mian say this, Zhou Jinze had no reason to refuse and could only wait until Xie Mian and the others had rested before deciding what to do.
"Where did that monster go?
Xie Mian glanced at Qian Yuan secretly before saying, "It was torn to pieces by other passing monsters."
Obviously, monsters also fight each other, but Zhou Jinze and the others thought it was a coincidence and didn't take it to heart.
Only Saji snorted, immediately realizing that Qing Lianye had done it, and gave him a look: "Protecting our master is our duty, don't get too cocky."
Qing didn't say anything that night. He became Qian Yuan's new toy, a doll dressed in a flowing robe with wide sleeves, looking like an immortal. Qian Yuan loved it and held it tightly, refusing to let go.
He's the one who's truly loved by his master now. Why bother arguing with this damned dog? It's beneath him.
But in a secluded corner, they saw Xie Mian say to the cubs from afar, "Thank you for your protection. I know you don't want your peace to be disturbed. We only hope to gain a little life in your territory. I am willing to give everything I have..."
Before the cub could say anything, Qing Lianye and Saji got angry again.
Master, why do you favor humans so much?!
Why? They were the ones who arrived first this time!
He couldn't hear the cries of the believers; he only felt that Xie Mian seemed easy to talk to now, so he walked over and reached out his hand to Xie Mian.
The little lazybones needs a hug.
Xie Mian was surprised that she was chosen by the cub even though she secretly came to express her gratitude. She was stunned for a long time before she picked up Qian Yuan with trepidation, and she was very careful not to touch Qian Yuan's skirt.
