Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 38p2

Chapter 38 p2:

Having confessed to this extent, Yang Yihan naturally had nothing to hide and said directly, “They wanted to take Ji Yulin away, or let her die in the Thirteenth District, to cause a conflict between the Thirteenth District and the Research Institute.”

Qi Peilan thought for a moment and asked again, “What about the Anding Town incident?”

A hint of confusion flashed in the person’s eyes, and then she stuttered, “You suspect this is related to them? No, that’s impossible. If we could do that, we wouldn’t have had to break into the Thirteenth District and cause a riot.”

It made sense. Qi Peilan nodded slightly and took the initiative to ask, “Then today?”

Yang Yihan said, “They’ve always wanted to rescue their companions. And they happened to find that there was no one around Ji Yulin, so they split up, one side to rescue people, the other to try and take Ji Yulin away again.”

“They had me turn into your appearance. If I could get information, I would. If not, I would act, and after taking Ji Yulin, we would leave together.”

At this point, the matter was clear. Qi Peilan and the other didn’t know what to think, their expressions complicated.

And Li An was already tired of listening and lowered her head to continue opening her gift.

The gift wrapping came undone. The little octopus was stunned for a moment, then poked this strange thing with a tentacle.

This object seemed to be carved from a single piece of wood. It was a cube, and the corners were all polished into arcs to avoid cutting the little octopus’s soft underside. The middle of the wood was hollowed out, and there were round holes in different positions on different sides, like…

Li An tilted her head and thought for a long time, and finally thought of what it was like.

It’s like a Whac-A-Mole toy!

The little octopus’s eyes lit up, and she happily squeezed into a hole.

Even the inside of the wood was not perfunctory. It was not completely hollowed out, but had a narrow, smooth space like a tunnel, which perfectly suited the octopus’s habit of liking narrow places. At the same time, her tentacles could also extend out of the holes at will.

Good stuff!

The little octopus eagerly turned inside, hiding in an inconspicuous crack.

“You hide here and don’t make a sound.”

The difficult voice was panting. After looking back and making sure that the others had not caught up, she continued in a low voice, “After I’ve led them all away, you can find a way to leave.”

In the ruins, Ling Yun’s voice was hoarse. Every word she uttered, she could taste the blood in her throat.

In just a short while, she had become even more wretched. There was a black mark on her side face, and her previously neat combat uniform was torn, revealing most of her back, and a bloody wound could be faintly seen.

And Qi Fu inside shook her head several times, her hand grabbing Ling Yun’s sleeve, trying to stop her decision.

“Don’t,” Qi Fu’s whole body was as if it had been soaked in sweat, and she spoke with difficulty.

“You go, leave me to them,” she said through gritted teeth.

“Their target is me. You don’t have to,” the pain came again, interrupting the rest of her words.

Ling Yun gave her a deep look, her eyes filled with a complex emotion, and just said, “It’s okay, I’ll be back.”

With that, she pulled down a nearby wall panel as a cover and, without the slightest hesitation, ran.

Qi Fu could vaguely hear the sound of pursuing footsteps. Before she could make a sound, she completely lost consciousness from the intense pain.

A peach-pink tentacle shot out from the wooden round opening. Before it could be retracted, it was held steady by Ji Yulin’s hand. The little octopus blinked, and then immediately probed out of another opening, but was still easily held down.

After a few back-and-forths, Li An felt like she was a stupid mole that was constantly being hit on the head.

The sore loser began to be unreasonable, feeling that Ji Yulin was not letting her win at all. The entire little octopus became puffed up. She poked her head up, about to glare at the other.

But Ji Yulin raised a hand and patted the octopus’s head back.

Now she had really become a mole.

The little octopus’s round head was stiff, and she blinked in disbelief.

Ji! Yu! Lin! Actually! Hit her!

It’s domestic violence!

The little octopus’s eyes were watery with grievance. Two tentacles clung to the edge of the hole and poked out a round head, looking at Ji Yulin with resentment.

Another pat. The little octopus’s head shrank, but she didn’t hide back. She just revealed half an eye and stared at Ji Yulin, both cowardly and pitiful.

Human! You’re doomed!

If you dare to commit domestic violence today, you’ll dare to eat takoyaki tomorrow, and steamed little octopus the day after tomorrow, and sizzling takoyaki the day after that, and you’ll dare to stir-fry it with cumin, and even serve it with peach juice!

The little octopus was extremely fierce, but Ji Yulin couldn’t hear her. She only saw a fuming little creature, her tentacles almost twisted into a knot, her sapphire eyes almost welling up with tears.

Why did she start crying while playing?

Professor Ji was a little confused, not quite understanding this competitive but very bad at playing little octopus. She didn’t know if she should lower her raised hand. In the end, she could only rub the other’s head and coax helplessly, “What’s wrong, baby?”

Little octopus: I can’t smile.

A string of words spun in her mind. In the end, a tentacle hooked her index finger and climbed up.

Human, can you not call me baby outside?

Although little octopus is a little octopus, she also cares about her face.

There are so many people here.

The little octopus mumbled for a long time, completely forgetting the elation of a few minutes ago, when she had been pulling at Ji Yulin’s hand and acting coquettishly, whimpering and wanting her to play with her new toy.

There were also so many people then.

Her gentle eyes drooped. After a moment of staring, she still had to indulge her and said softly, “Okay.”

Only then was the little octopus satisfied. A tentacle patted the back of Ji Yulin’s hand, and she finally remembered the business at hand.

Yang Yihan over there had already confessed everything.

Qi Peilan stood there, it was unclear if she was thinking or digesting these things.

In a little while, someone suddenly pushed open the door and shouted urgently, “District Chief, it’s not good. That group of people has escaped.”

“What?!”

“How is Qi Fu?!”

Qi Peilan and Su Ye’s voices sounded one after the other.

The person’s expression was apprehensive and panicked. She quickly said, “They have Captain Ling Yun as a hostage. We didn’t dare to act rashly and could only watch as they blew a hole in the city wall and ran from the west.”

Hearing Ling Yun’s name, everyone subconsciously looked at Ji Yulin.

But she saw that her expression was calm, not even as anxious as the little octopus in her palm, who was poking her head out and looking this way.

So much had happened in just one night. Qi Peilan didn’t know what to say for a moment. As she was still thinking of her words, another person ran over.

“Found her, found her!”

“Captain Qi was hiding in a hollow. She wasn’t captured!”

Although it was inappropriate, Qi Peilan and Su Ye’s expressions still relaxed.

They could stand here so steadily because they relied on Qi Fu’s special ability and felt that even if she was no match for those people, she could still escape. But they were still worried. Now, hearing that those people had left and that Qi Fu had been found, they were completely relieved.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the person said hesitantly, “But, but Captain Qi’s condition is not right. She seems to have a high fever and is constantly crying out in pain.”

The heart that had just settled was lifted again. Qi Peilan and Su Ye exchanged a glance and instantly understood what had happened.

Su Ye immediately said, “I’ll take some people over first.”

Qi Peilan was not at ease. Her footsteps moved, and she also wanted to follow.

But Ji Yulin spoke at this moment, “Let’s talk, District Chief Qi.”

Qi Peilan was stunned. The moment she turned her head, she saw Ji Yulin mouth the two words “Qi Fu.”

Her heart trembled. Her intuition told her that Ji Yulin had known about Qi Fu’s situation all along, and even, had known the solution all along.

She gritted her teeth and immediately said, “Okay.”

It was night.

The evening wind blew away the black smoke. The Thirteenth District, which had just experienced two riots in a short period of time, was now filled with anxiety. Many people could not sleep and got up several times to look at the destroyed places.

They were still panicked. The current stability was hard-won, and they didn’t want anyone to destroy it.

The lights in the cleaned villa were on again. The people from before had all withdrawn. The slanting branch in the vase swayed, and a petal fell, and silence spread.

The little octopus, curled up in her new toy, poked out a round head, looked left and right, her gaze lingering on the closed frosted glass door.

The sound of water was splashing, and hot steam was seeping out from the crack of the door. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Li An could vaguely feel a gentle heat enveloping her, and she could also smell the fragrance of shower gel, a gentle magnolia.

A tentacle twitched. Reason told her that she should continue to shrink into the hole, but memories flashed frame by frame, reminding her of the afternoon’s events.

Her tentacles turned red. She tried to cover her eyes but quietly moved them down a little, looking at the glass door.

The sound of water was still going on. The glass reflected a faintly visible figure. Even though it was blurred, the graceful curves had not changed.

It made Li An can’t help but recall that in the afternoon, the person had been bound between her tentacles. As the suckers contracted, her abdomen also rose and fell slightly, tensing, relaxing, and then tensing again. In her rapid breathing, she bent her legs and kicked up, and finally, her whole body was propped up at an angle, as if she were doing a hip bridge.

As if she couldn’t bear it, yet she craved more.

A tentacle unconsciously wrapped around another. She still couldn’t hold it in. Instinct was more in control of her body than reason, making it move a little at a time.

From the table to the floor, her tentacles seemed to be fighting. Half of them were pulling back, and half were stubbornly pushing forward. In this way, she stumbled and bumped into the door.

—Bang!

The sound, which had seemed inconspicuous before, was now louder than thunder, startling the little octopus. She trembled and subconsciously hugged her head.

After a long moment, she recovered and cautiously poked her head out.

Did Ji Yulin not hear?

The little octopus breathed a sigh of relief and patted herself.

Phew, phew. So I was just scaring myself.

But in the next second, she heard a voice, as clear and calm as ever.

“You have the guts to peek, but not the guts to come in?”

The entire octopus froze. Before she could react, she heard Ji Yulin speak again, “Open the door, come in.”

“Ji An An.”
