Qian Yuan smelled the dish, and with his keen intuition, he immediately felt that this was not normal food. The smell of blood was much stronger, and they might have added some kind of drug to it.
Qianyuan covered her nose, making a resistant expression.
"You really don't like eating people?"
Bo Yuchuan pinched Qianyuan's cheek: "You're so harmless, it only makes people want to bully you even more."
Qian Yuan paused for a moment, then looked at Bo Yuchuan as if she had thought of something. The little guy then proactively dragged the plate of food over, scooped a spoonful, and fed it to Bo Yuchuan.
"Ah ah..."
It looks like a cub repaying its guardian with filial piety.
Bo Yuchuan: Thank you, I feel honored to receive your filial piety.
Zhou Jinze: ...
Qian Yuan also felt Zhou Jinze's gaze. Not wanting to show favoritism, he forcefully stuffed the food into Bo Yuchuan's mouth, and then hurriedly scooped a second spoonful for Zhou Jinze.
Bo Yuchuan rushed off to vomit.
Zhou Jinze quickly said, "I won't eat it."
The cub even looked disappointed.
Zhou Jinze: ...
He definitely won't eat it.
So he turned to look at Dr. Lin.
Dr. Lin: Are you being polite?
But Dr. Lin still squatted down and coaxed the little one, "This is for you to eat, adults don't need to eat this."
The little guy seemed not to understand, but just tried to push the plate towards them.
Like a well-behaved little rascal who has found something delicious and insists on giving the first bite to his favorite person.
Dr. Lin couldn't hold on any longer and closed her eyes without hesitation.
Then, covering his mouth, he rushed out.
Now only Zhou Jinze and Qian Yuan were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
Zhou Jinze snatched the spoon from Qian Yuan's hand and carried it away along with the plate:
"You just don't want to eat, right?"
Qianyuan: Her misty eyes gazed at him.
"Never mind." Even Zhou Jinze, who had seen through his scheme, sighed. What could a mere cub have done wrong?
Zhou Jinze: Spoiling without realizing it.
After Qianyuan transformed into a human cub, he slept less and didn't need special care for his food. Zhou Jinze found him bored being alone, his sickly little face always lacking vitality as he stared blankly into the small room.
Zhou Jinze couldn't help but ask Qian Yuan, "Want to go out and play with me for a while?"
Moreover, Zhou Jinze and the others are all busy with work, and it's impossible for them to revolve around Qianyuan 24 hours a day.
So Qianyuan naturally climbed onto Zhou Jinze's shoulder. He originally wanted to climb directly onto the top of Zhou Jinze's head, but when the little guy's tentacles got tense, they would wrap Zhou Jinze's head up tightly, making it impossible to see the road ahead.
So Qianyuan had no choice but to settle for second best and lean on Zhou Jinze's shoulder.
It looks like a small pendant.
Zhou Jinze, who has always been a low-key person, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention today.
The little guy was actually very happy; it was the first time he had ever seen so many people!
Zhou Jinze was only thankful that he remembered to put a shirt on the cub before leaving the house. The cub was still a bit small, and the shirt was a little too big for him, but it was just enough to cover his bottom, since he couldn't wear pants with his octopus tail anyway.
At least I won't be exposed anymore.
Afraid that the little guy would fall off his shoulder in his excitement, Zhou Jinze eventually ended up holding him in his arms, supporting his bottom with one hand, just like holding a human baby.
Actually, the fact that he didn't hold Qianyuan in his hands shows that he has some talent for taking care of children.
"Team Leader Zhou."
Several researchers approached him, intending to hand him the data they were holding: "These are some of the new monsters we've recently contained, please take a look..."
But when they met Zhou Jinze's burning gaze, they froze.
Zhou Jinze seemed oblivious to their unease, reaching out to take the documents and quickly glancing through them.
"Let's go check if there are any missed containment entries."
"But……"
Their eyes all turned to Qianyuan in Zhou Jinze's arms.
Zhou Jinze frowned imperceptibly and pulled the cub closer to his arms.
"It's okay, he won't cause any problems."
Based on Qianyuan's previous performance, bringing the little guy along might actually be more beneficial for containing these monsters.
Zhou Jinze didn't express what he was thinking; he just tightened his grip on the cub.
Qianyuan: "Huh?"
Why are you pinching me?
Zhou Jinze didn't say anything. He pressed down on the cub's head, completely hiding it inside his clothes, before following his companion into the containment room.
This is what a normal containment chamber should be like; a quiet, serious, and terrifying atmosphere pervades everywhere.
"This new containment, 'The Skeleton That Keeps Rising,' has been rated A by Professor Bo and is designated A-021. This containment is perpetually active and will keep rising from its coffin or pit to find a human to replace it. However, it will not be able to rise unless its coffin is sealed and someone is watching it."
A skeleton?
Isn't that a little scary?
Zhou Jinze's first thought was this. He stopped in his tracks, which were about to move closer, and just stared at the skeleton lying in the coffin from a distance.
At this moment, the skeleton being watched was very quiet, as if it had lost its vitality...
Huh? Where's the skeleton?!
"Damn it, which bastard didn't keep an eye on him just now?!"
The researchers started yelling without hesitation, and at that moment they immediately moved closer to their companions, tacitly watching the surrounding movements.
"Watch out! Be careful not to get attacked!"
"Damn it, who's shaking? It's so loud, I heard it all, my teeth are chattering from fear!"
Zhou Jinze remained silent throughout, holding Qianyuan tightly in his arms and watching his surroundings.
