In the room, Jiang Ning could never have imagined that a plump little mouse could be so sentimental.
After she brought Qi Xingzhou into the house, she couldn’t help but caution him seriously, "In the future, in places with surveillance, you must never casually use your abilities. Not even when there’s no one around! Understand?"
Even though the animals these days seem to be very intelligent, when she sometimes watched short videos, she could see golden retrievers who threw away trash and fetched deliveries for their owners, and geese that carried small bags to go shopping with their owners... But those were all trained from a young age. As for Qi Xingzhou, possessing the ability to communicate with any animal, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it absolutely must not be discovered by others.
Qi Xingzhou’s eyelids were slightly lowered, his thoughts unknown, as he slowly removed his hand from his chest.
Just when Jiang Ning thought he had taken her words to heart, Qi Xingzhou suddenly spoke, "It won’t be discovered."
"Jiang Ning, look," he suddenly turned, glancing toward the balcony which was only separated from the living room by a sliding door.
A few seconds later, a spirited little sparrow flew in from the balcony, fluttering its small wings and landing on the couch, cocking its head to look at the two people, its small black bean-like eyes filled with brightness and intelligence.
Looking at the little sparrow in front of her that wasn’t afraid of humans at all, Jiang Ning truly envied Qi Xingzhou’s ability to control small animals.
"System, can’t you give me a golden finger?" she asked in her mind.
If she had Qi Xingzhou’s ability, she would be twice as effective in carrying out missions.
[Host, my very existence is your biggest golden finger.] The System replied shyly.
Jiang Ning: "..." When it put it that way, it didn’t seem wrong.
Qi Xingzhou asked Jiang Ning in a low voice if they should tie a miniature surveillance camera to the little sparrow.
Jiang Ning was somewhat skeptical, "Can it be found?"
"It should be possible," Qi Xingzhou nodded.
While in the surveillance room just now, Qi Xingzhou had already observed those two segments of footage closely. He not only memorized the appearance of that man but also remembered at which times and places he appeared.
In addition to mice and birds, there were many cats and dogs in the neighborhood.
The man had tortured a living cat to death, and all the small animals in the neighborhood loathed him, so finding him was not a difficult task.
As long as he was still nearby, he would definitely be discovered by the animals.
Qi Xingzhou’s lips were pursed, his eyes deep and somber, revealing a hint of sternness. He couldn’t let such a ticking time bomb remain near Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at the energetic little sparrow, "That’s not a bad idea, I’ll go get the camera, and find something to attach it to it."
In fact, right after the System had issued the mission, Jiang Ning could already look up the whereabouts of Miao Wenjun on the System map section. But knowing only Miao Wenjun’s location didn’t reveal what he was actually doing, so it was more practical to let the small animals take a look first.
Jiang Ning quickly found the camera and firmly tied it to the little sparrow.
It was unclear how Qi Xingzhou had communicated with it, but after Jiang Ning had attached the camera, Qi Xingzhou took it to the balcony, and the little sparrow fluttered its wings and flew away swiftly.
Many of the devices Jiang Ning now used were exchanged from the System Mall, and were a bit more advanced than the current electronic equipment. After the little sparrow flew out, she pulled out her phone, which could not only locate the precise position of the little sparrow at any time, but also view the live footage captured by the camera on the little sparrow in real-time.
