A cheerful pop song rang out from the living room. Amy liked to listen to this kind of noisy music very much, but her taste was not very good. What was even more terrible was that her voice was not very good, but she still sang along. It was simply a double torture.
"No one can play with you like me, hiding in bed~"
With a bang, the door of the utility room opened. Amy, who had just been singing, suddenly frowned and placed two food plates in front of Igula without saying a word.
The left plate contains dog food, and the right plate contains clean water.
Igula looked up at Aimi and raised his right hand weakly. Aimi nodded, and he ran to the bathroom in one step.
When he came back, he would lie on the ground obediently and eat like a pet. Igula did not feel any psychological pressure about this. This kind of humiliation that did not affect his interests could not touch the soul of the fraudster at all.
But Aimi was very satisfied. She squatted beside him and said, "I found some information. Observation point 53 has been confirmed to be a complete virtual realm passage."
Igula looked up suddenly: "That—"
Snapped!
Amy suddenly hit Igula's head hard, making a loud noise. The pretty and lovely face was shadowed, looking hideous and violent.
Igula raised his hand obediently, and Aimi immediately smiled: "You can speak."
"When will the first wave of exploration of Observation Point 53 take place?"
"Tonight, May 2 at 00:00, when the blood moon is dim." Aimi said, "A group of adventurers have been dispatched to the Lakeview War Zone. I have prepared adventurer uniforms and bicycles for you. There are still 5 hours until 00:00, so you have plenty of time to get there. As for whether you can get into the adventurer team, it depends on you."
Igula was stunned. He felt that Amy should help him, but he didn't expect that Amy could arrange it so well.
In fact, whether it was living in the utility room, eating dog food or wearing a collar, Igula could have resisted, but he chose to obey and please Aimi, because Aimi was now his hope to escape from the Blood Moon, and offending her would be tantamount to accelerating his own demise.
Apart from other things, for example, although Amy had to tell Igula the information about Observation Point 53 due to contractual restrictions, she had the freedom to control the timing.
If Amy told Igula at 11 o'clock, Igula would miss the best chance to escape - the first wave of exploration of the virtual channel is bound to be the time with the most loopholes and the easiest time to fish in troubled waters!
Aimi not only told Igula in time, but also helped him prepare to blend into the adventurer team. Igula couldn't help but feel touched as a 'victim': "Thank you, thank you for helping me so much."
Aimi was slightly startled, then she smiled sweetly, and the big bad wolf's tail was proudly raised: "You're welcome!"
She suddenly pulled Igula up and said, "Come, let's go eat."
"Ah?" Igula glanced at the dog food in the food plate: "Aren't I supposed to eat this?"
"Good boy, you don't need to eat snacks." Amy asked him to sit down, "I'll make you something delicious."
Although she said so, Aimi's cooking skills were limited to "I know how to use this kitchen utensil". She took out the semi-finished cooked food from the freezer, heated it up casually and put it on the table. But for Igula, who had been eating dog food for a few days, as long as he could sit and eat with a spoon, it was the treatment of a high-end restaurant.
Just as Igula was about to start eating, he saw Aimi clasping her hands together and praying: "Thank you Blood Moon for the sunshine and rain that have given us, so that the earth can produce abundant food."
Igula noticed that Amy was secretly looking at him. He hesitated for a moment and then followed her in the pre-meal prayer. Amy was very satisfied and asked while eating, "We haven't gambled for a long time. Do you want to bet on something?"
Igura: “But we are eating.”
"You can gamble while eating! Igula, you are so smart, come up with a fun idea!" Amy said excitedly.
Igula didn't want to go against her wishes, so he thought for a moment and said, "Well, the rules of the game are that we can eat 1 to 3 bites of food each round, and whoever happens to eat the last bite of food wins."
"It's an interesting bet!" Amy said, "So what are we going to bet on?"
"One question." Igulla: "The loser must honestly answer the winner's one question."
"No problem! Haha, Igula, you are definitely going to lose this time. My best record is to make a little Lala fat in one bite!"
Just like before, Aimi never cared about the size of the bet. However, the key to winning this bet was not the size of the appetite, but the first and last move and calculation ability. Under Igula's simple operation, Aimi ate most of the food, but the last bite was eaten by Igula.
Ai Mi patted her belly contentedly and sighed, "Ah, we lost again. This time it's 185 losses to 12 wins..."
Igula changed into the adventurer's uniform, pulled up his mask, put on his hood, and looked at Aimi in surprise: "Do you still remember the number of bets between us?"
"Of course. How could I forget something so important?" Aimi wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, took out a key from her trouser pocket and threw it to Igula: "The bicycle is in the parking space No. 16 downstairs."
Igula took the key and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. If I get caught, the memory master will find evidence of your helping me in my memory. I don't have time to find a memory master to delete my memory..."
"It's okay." Aimi waved her hand nonchalantly: "Isn't it normal for friends to help each other?"
friend…
There was a hint of sarcasm on Igula's face: "But I am a criminal, and you are a blood-crazed hunter."
"So what?" Amy crossed her legs on the chair, tilted her head to look at Igula, her tail bent inward, with a puzzled look on her face.
"You are a criminal, and I am a blood-crazed hunter, but this has nothing to do with us being friends, right? When we play together, we play a gambling game, not a game between hunters and criminals..."
"I've never heard of anyone locking their friend in a utility room and feeding him dog food," Igula said coldly.
"You are a bad boy with no manners. Isn't it normal for you to be punished?" Amy said confidently, "You haven't admitted your mistake yet!"
What did I admit? You locked me up in the utility room on my first day!
Unreasonable and incomprehensible.
Igula shook his head and walked to the entrance to change into his boots. Aimi came over and said, "Are you leaving? Be careful on the road."
"By the way, I just won the bet. I want to exercise the rights of the winner. You have to answer a question for me honestly."
"go ahead."
"Did the Criminal Investigation Department arrest me because you reported me?"
Amy blinked, a look of confusion on her face.
"Were you caught by the Criminal Investigation Department? I was wondering why you hadn't shown up for over a year... Wait, so you're actually an escaped prisoner? What you just said about being a criminal turned out to be true?"
Igula was shocked: "Didn't you see my wanted poster?"
"The captain is solely responsible for hunting down the prison escapees from Broken Lake. I am currently in charge of protecting the deputy mayor..." Aimi shook her head: "As for you being arrested by the Criminal Hunting Department, I don't even know who you are, so how could I report you... Wait."
"Speaking of which, a year ago, I was suddenly congratulated by everyone, saying that I took the initiative to act as bait and lured a cunning fraudster into a trap. Even the captain praised me and treated me to a big meal. I didn't know what happened at the time. I had a big meal without knowing what was going on, and I was promoted..."
Although it sounds unbelievable, Igula feels that Amy is not lying.
From the time they first met, Aimi gave Igula the impression of being a very cute and silly type, so Igula tried his best to take advantage of Aimi and accumulated the contract time to 9,000 minutes. It was because he thought that fools were easy to bully.
In fact, Igula was unwilling to believe that it was Amy who reported him, otherwise he would not have asked this question, because this meant that there was a major flaw in his ability to judge people.
If he can't even tell whether his clients are dogs or wolves, then he has basically lost the qualifications to be a fraudster.
Fortunately, Aimi did not disappoint him. He was indeed a natural fool. The Hunting Bureau just caught him by chance, and he did not take the initiative to walk into Aimi's trap. The only person in the world who could deceive him in turn was still the cult leader with an underdeveloped brain.
Thinking of this, Igula couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you, Aimi."
Amy asked dissatisfiedly: "Besides this, don't you have anything else to say to me? For example, an apology..."
"I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble..."
"I already said it doesn't matter, it's not this!"
Which one is it? Even though Igula is a psychic, he still can't figure out what Amy is thinking, so he just pushes the door and leaves: "Thank you for your care, I hope we have a chance to meet in the future."
"I will definitely beat you next time!" Amy said loudly.
On the way out of the apartment, Igula let out a long breath, sweeping away the gloom of being in solitary confinement for the past few days, and his steps became lighter.
In fact, apart from her bad temper and her bad taste in treating people like dogs, Aimi is also a good client. If Igula is given enough time, he is even confident that he can develop Aimi into an undercover agent in the Criminal Hunting Department.
After all, Aimi unexpectedly values friendship, shows her emotions on her face, has a simple mind, doesn’t mind breaking the rules, and is just like a child...
Igula found the bicycle prepared by Aimi, and just as he got on it and was about to leave, he suddenly heard Aimi's voice coming from above.
"Next time you ask for help, say 'please' first!" Ai Mi stood by the balcony and shouted without hesitation, "Don't be so rude next time!"
Igula was slightly stunned and could only nod quickly and ride his bike away from the embarrassing crime scene.
He wondered why Aimi suddenly said such a thing, and it took him a while to remember that when he first found Aimi, he didn't seem to have said "please".
Igula was both angry and amused. Could it be that Amy was still angry because he didn't say "please" in the beginning when he said "I order you to help me escape from the Blood Moon Kingdom"
"You are a bad boy with bad manners. Isn't it normal to be punished?"
Snap!
Igula slammed on the brakes and looked back at the apartment building where Aimi was.
He recalled some information about the Moon Shadow Clan.
In addition to adults becoming priests through church examinations, there is another way for the Moon Shadow Clan to obtain its members. When the Beloved Church evaluates the potential of infants, it will keep the children who are most suitable for the Moon Shadow Clan and send them directly to the church's orphanage for training.
Unlike most orphanages, church orphanages are completely closed and not subject to public supervision.
Normal orphanages, whether good or bad, must install cameras to allow members of the public to see what is going on inside the orphanage. Children may fight among themselves in orphanages, but orphanage staff are never allowed to physically punish children.
You can educate through verbal warnings, resource allocation, or even collective isolation, but you cannot directly harm young children or deprive them of their freedom. Young children have the right to refuse.
Because of the closed nature of the church orphanage, many people wonder whether it is conducting military-style training.
But the Moon Shadow priests who came out of the church's orphanage often dispel people's doubts - compared with the vast majority of people in the Blood Moon Kingdom, the Moon Shadow priests are so simple, lovely, enthusiastic, innocent, hardworking, and polite. They are simply little angels who have grown up.
By the way, the Crime Hunting Hall is only responsible for crime hunting. If the Blood Moon people encounter things like conflicts with neighbors, lost pets, light bulbs stuck in mouths, tongues stuck to railings, and bodies stuck in washing machines, it is useless to go to the Crime Hunting Hall. The correct way is to go to the church.
Whenever a request for help is received, no matter when, the church closest to you will send Moon Shadow priests to help. Moon Shadow priests are always cheerful and enthusiastic, never afraid of trouble, and very patient in the face of anything, which makes the Blood Moon people develop the concept of "looking for the church when in trouble".
Almost everyone has received help from Moon Shadow Priest, and no one hates Moon Shadow Priest. Currently, 60% of the Blood Moon people are church believers who worship on time, and most of them are infected by Moon Shadow Priest, so they firmly believe that the Blood Moon Supreme Lord that Moon Shadow Priest prays to is indeed a benevolent and kind existence.
One of the important reasons why Fenanxue's speech did not cause much commotion was the existence of Moon Shadow Priest. If they said that the benefits of their cruel exploitation were all transferred to the Blood Saints, everyone would be furious, but if it was the Blood Saints and the Moon Shadows, then everyone would hesitate - cutting flesh to feed the Moon Shadows seemed acceptable.
There is also a saying in Kaimen City: The fake double first-class university is the Emerald Garden; the real double first-class university is the Church Orphanage.
It's not wrong to call a guy like Langna a werewolf. His existence will only tarnish the name Yueying.
At this moment, Igulla suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Langna before he escaped from prison.
"It's really strange that the Beloved Church would raise a Moon Shadow like you."
"I'm surprised the church didn't raise other werewolves."
Is this what it means
In fact, Igula should have guessed it long ago - how could an adult be afraid of being locked in the utility room? Igula was not afraid even though he didn't have a chip. If Igula had a chip, he could even conduct anonymous fraud in the utility room.
Only an innocent child would be afraid of this kind of punishment.
Moreover, Aimi obviously didn't have a dog at home, so why did she have dog food? She just pointed at the dog food and said it was a snack.
Coupled with Amy's extreme emphasis on politeness and her childlike personality, the truth is about to be revealed.
Igula looked up, looked at the slowly rising blood moon, shook his head slightly, and pedaled hard on his bicycle to escape.
