Chapter 1214 - 1211: Look, a Lump Appears on the Mountain

"What's with that expression? The world is dangerous, Lin Ying is worried I'll encounter trouble out there, so helping me prepare some self-defense tools isn't unusual, is it?"

Ansheng pulled out a silver-white staff from inside, then took out a Mountain-Cutting Knife placed by Lin Bingyun and tossed it to Ah Qing.

"......." Ah Qing looked at the knife in her hand, then turned her gaze to the Little Fox, her face filled with black lines, wanting to complain but not knowing where to start.

That Aerial Iron Rider, besides having eighteen weapons in its storage box, also had some cash, a satellite phone, and a tablet.

Moreover, the items were neatly arranged, clearly someone regularly tidied and fixed their positions.

Sister Lin's affection for the Little Fox wasn't just indulgence, it was pure appeasement.

From cars, houses, villas to small suitcases, all had special gear prepared for the Little Fox.

No wonder the Little Fox clung so much to Sister Lin, who wouldn't like such an understanding big sister.

"Let's go!"

Ansheng gave an order to the silver staff to go to sleep, then handed it over to Ah Qing, climbing onto her shoulder.

Ah Qing walked towards the village, making "zuo zuo zuo" sounds at the passing Doggy, squatting down to ask for directions, gradually tracking and pinpointing Chen Si's journey, waiting in advance on the road he must pass.

"Whoosh—"

Ah Qing followed Chen Si for more than half an hour, waiting for the moment he left the New Year greeting group to go out alone.

Master Fuli stood up, walked out of the bushes, looking at Chen Si, who was fishing out a cigarette from his pocket and preparing to light it, whistled and raised a fox paw, pointing to a hill behind the village and said:

"Now, the Security Bureau is handling a case, do you see that big mountain behind?"

"You have five minutes to talk. If within those five minutes I don't hear what I want, a bump will grow on the mountain behind..."

Master Fuli walked out of the bushes, carrying a silver-white staff on his shoulder, speaking as if it were a matter of course.

At the moment he spoke, both Ah Qing squatting in the bushes and Chen Si by the roadside showed a look of astonishment.

The cigarette clamped in Chen Si's mouth fell to the ground, his eyes widened as he looked at Master Fuli, gasping in shock.

"I...I...I confess."

Chen Si dropped the cigarette in his hand, full of panic, squatted while holding his head, nervously said: "I'm willing to submit to the management of the Security Bureau, please don't bury me in a grave mound."

"I am a Spirit Beast smuggled from Latin America, I have no combat ability, my true form is a Vampire Bat capable of disguising after consuming blood..."

"Additionally, I want to redeem myself through meritorious service, I want to report the true Chen Si for imprisoning spirit beasts and harboring smugglers."

Master Fuli transformed into Chen Si's Latin American spirit beast [Vampire Bat] through traits, without the slightest hesitation, revealing his true form and also giving up the blood provider Chen Si.

"Latin America...."

Master Fuli's expression was stunned, suddenly recalling the previous phone call with Momo, where she mentioned the Lingnan Security Bureau was consistently targeting a smuggling organization composed of spirit beasts originating from Latin America.

The Vampire Bat's story perfectly aligned with the spirit beast smuggling organization Momo previously mentioned.

"Yes, I worked under the smuggling snakehead in the organization... which in Xia Country's term means a snakehead, doing black labor for three years, earning six thousand US dollars to buy a smuggling ticket."

The Vampire Bat squatted, holding its head, speaking extremely aggrievedly about its origins.

Before smuggling, all spirit beasts underwent language and general knowledge courses.

Once in the hands of the Security Bureau, there was no need to resist, being caught would not pose a life threat, just cooperation for check-ups and wearing an electronic anklet was needed.

Under the snakehead's employment, the Vampire Bat worked for three years as a blood collector, secretly entering homes after nightfall to collect residents' blood, selling it to local hospitals or clinics, earning money for the smuggling leader.

Working illegal jobs was tough but offered high income for spirit beasts in that region.

In that place, one could randomly be captured by the Longevity Club's Beast Warriors for juicing, making even imprisonment overseas with the Security Bureau feel like freedom with its fresh air.

"When I arrived ashore from smuggling, it didn't take long before I met Chen Si, who just started his freshman year in college."

"I initially sought a family to lodge and eat with, planning to hide inside as a Doggy, but that lazy dog rented an apartment off-campus, supposedly living with his girlfriend."

"In reality, he was always idling indoors. Upon discovering my traits, he threatened me to assume his identity to act at college, forcing me to attend school..."

As the Vampire Bat recounted its grievances, it further lamented to Master Fuli:

"I attended classes during the day at school, and at night set up a stall at the university town's commercial street. That lazy Chen Si didn't even return home for the holidays, just holed up in the apartment playing games..."

When making a phone call home to report safety, Chen Si walked in, discovering the Vampire Bat's abnormality, then decided to exploit it.

The Vampire Bat, albeit weak in combat, did not want to escalate the matter, intending only to earn money working in Xia Country, hoping to bring its spiritually transformed relatives over too.

The two negotiated an arrangement where Chen Si leased his identity fully to the Vampire Bat.

The Vampire Bat paid Chen Si ten thousand yuan a month and increased the wage by five percent annually.

"I'm over... My fifth sister is still at home, and now that I've been captured by the Security Bureau, I can't make money, my poor sister will be captured and juiced.... The Vampire Bat looked at Master Fuli with a face full of fear, worried about the sister who hadn't escaped yet, hoping that confessing and reporting Chen Si would lead to leniency."

"Wish Fulfilled: Borrow Another Fifty Thousand Dollars From Heaven (Being the only blood-feeding creature, hunger and not getting enough food is a normal state for Vampire Bats, in this ecology, they have a 'shared blood' social orientation, willing to regurgitate to starving companions.)"

A flash of golden light crossed Master Fuli's mind, turning the Vampire Bat's underlying prayer into a wish shown on the Wish List, materializing a detail page.

The Vampire Bat wasn't lying, it smuggled into Xia Country purely for work, earning money for family, aiding companions in escaping a predator-infested continent.

The money earned over the past two years was partially given to Chen Si for identity rental, with the rest converted into US dollars or euros for the smuggling snakehead.

This explained why "Chen Si's" parents mentioned that once "Chen Si" had enough funds in a few years, they'd build a grand European-style villa for the family.

The Vampire Bat truly had no money left right now, as all of the hundreds of thousands of dollars earned had been sent home to assist with smuggling funds.

"I see...."

After viewing the Wish List detail page, Master Fuli lightly nodded, looking at the squatting Vampire Bat, pondering with a somber face as he asked:

"I personally tend to believe your verbal confession."

"But I still intend to bury you."

"?"

Upon hearing this, the Vampire Bat was stunned, slowly forming a question mark towards Master Fuli.

And beside him, Ah Qing, studying duty procedures, also had a question mark appear over her head.

"Let's go! Be cooperative, spare yourself a beating." Master Fuli righteously stated:

"You reached the shore two years ago, whereas I only rose to fame at the end of last year."

"According to your statement, you spend all day studying and making money, you have neither reason nor channel to recognize Master Fuli's name, after all.... I've never been to Northeastern Three Provinces, yet you identified me at a glance, even with your face saying it's over."

"Let's go!" Master Fuli turned around, the silver metal staff in his hand gradually morphing into a shovel.

"Uh..."

The Vampire Bat was stunned, awkwardly smiling as it said:
