32: Chapter 32 Unusual 32: Chapter 32 Unusual “Ding—Fear value detected from the Blood Worm +1000.”
Upon hopping into the car and seeing the feeling values detected by the system, Lu Zixun really felt like he’d hit the jackpot.
Teasing a Blood Worm had actually netted him 4000 feeling values, could there be any more profitable activity than this?
The moment Lu Zixun got into the car, little loli Long Ya followed suit, stretching her hands to hold Lu Zixun in her arms, and couldn’t help burying her head into his fluffy body.
After rubbing her face against him, Long Ya lifted her head to look at the old man, “Grandpa Zeng, can I take the big kitty home?”
Lu Zixun lifted his head to glance at the old man; this man dressed like a housekeeper, turned out to be surnamed Zeng.
The instant he stepped on the Blood Worm, that Housekeeper Zeng’s gaze seemed very dangerous, could it be another person possessed by a Blood Worm?
But the system didn’t prompt anything.
From the recent act of stepping on the Blood Worm, Lu Zixun had discovered another function of the system, which was that as long as someone could provide him with feeling value, it could differentiate whether they were human or an alien.
“Indeed, just as Miss Bai said, this cat is not simple at all, no wonder the Long Family has come to borrow it.”
Zeng Haoyang thought silently, smiling at Long Ya, “Miss, this cat is Mr.
Lin’s pet, if you want to take the kitty back to the Long Family, you’ll have to ask Mr.
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Ya’s big eyes looked at Lin Qiang with a hopeful gleam, “Brother, can you come to our home to play?”
“Hmm…” After thinking for a moment, Lin Qiang shook his head, “Sorry, little sister, I need to go see a friend first.
I’ll visit your home another time, okay?”
“Ding—Disappointment value detected from Long Ya +500.”
Long Ya looked a little disheartened and lowered her head, but after petting Lu Zixun, she lifted her head and gave Lin Qiang a smile, “It’s okay, brother, come by when you have a chance.”
Refusing such a cute little loli, Lin Qiang felt an inexplicable sense of guilt at the moment.
Lu Zixun stood up and nudged the little loli’s face with his furry head, meowing twice.
The small girl, instantly healed by his affection, had the look of disappointment vanish from her eyes, and again hugged Lu Zixun tightly.
“Ding—Love Value detected from Long Ya +300.”
Lu Zixun, being embraced by Long Ya, looked out the window at the scenery with a somewhat lifeless gaze.
He just couldn’t stand seeing children , especially when they were such polite little lolis.
703 Lin Ye Street, Chunhua City.
Lin Qiang, who was dropped off at the corner of the street, promised to visit the Long Family after checking on his friend.
Amidst Long Ya’s reluctant gaze, he walked into the alleyway with Lu Zixun.
Lu Zixun sniffed the air discreetly, still able to smell a hint of the scent of blood.
Chunhua City had just had a heavy rain a few days ago, so why would there still be a smell of blood?
In light of this, Lu Zixun became quietly vigilant, following closely behind Lin Qiang in case something went awry.
After wandering around for a bit, Lin Qiang took out his phone and made a call.
The phone beeped several times, but no one answered.
Lin Qiang shook his head and put away his phone, “Da Ju, we might have to look for him, Dongzi might have gone to deliver a package.”
A missed call didn’t prove anything, but ever since he smelled the blood, Lu Zixun had become unusually sensitive.
Xie Dongqiang hadn’t answered the phone just after getting off the plane, and still wasn’t answering now.
Could it really be that there was no time to spare for delivering a package?
Did he suddenly stop using his phone to notify people to pick up parcels?
“Xiao xin dian.” (Be careful.)
“Be careful of electricity?” Hearing Lu Zixun’s voice, Lin Qiang subconsciously stopped in his tracks and looked around, puzzled, “Where is there electricity?”
Raising a paw to his face, Lu Zixun felt utterly hopeless, the communication barrier was a real damn hassle.
Too lazy to correct the mistake, Lu Zixun flicked his tail and walked ahead.
“Why are you upset now?”
Seeing that Lu Zixun ignored him, Lin Qiang scratched his head, somewhat perplexed, and followed behind Lu Zixun.
As Lu Zixun was approaching the source of the blood scent, he suddenly heard Lin Qiang’s voice and looked back in displeasure.
What was this guy calling out for?
Perhaps intimidated by the sharp look in Lu Zixun’s eyes as he turned his head, Lin Qiang’s voice immediately lost some of its force.
Responding with a grunt, Lu Zixun walked back to Lin Qiang’s side.
Protecting Lin Qiang was a priority over investigating the source of the blood scent.
Finally, based on the address on his phone, he found Xie Dongqiang’s residence.
Lu Zixun looked up, the sky was bright with the sun, but here it was blocked by tall buildings and bereft of daylight.
The sunlight couldn’t penetrate, and combined with the surrounding run-down environment, Lu Zixun sensed an ominous feeling.
There were hardly any people living nearby, and Xie Dongqiang lived alone here.
Hadn’t there been an alien attack in the alley next door?
Wasn’t Xie Dongqiang afraid?
Having confirmed the house number and location, Lin Qiang put away his phone and stepped forward to knock on the door.
At this moment, Lu Zixun discreetly positioned himself beside Lin Qiang, intently watching the door.
From this position, he could react instantly in case of any sudden incident and protect Lin Qiang.
As the door opened, a grating noise pierced through their eardrums, disgusting and hard to bear.
Lu Zixun tensed up, ready to strike at any moment.
The door had indeed opened but without a sign of who opened it.
Lin Qiang also faintly felt something was off.
When he had tried to push the door earlier, it hadn’t budged.
Now that the door was open, someone must have opened it.
So the question was, where had they gone?
Just as the man and cat were puzzled, a miserably severe scream emanated from inside the house, making Lin Qiang shudder.
Not rushing into the room, Lin Qiang tentatively called out.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss.” The sound of inhalation came first, and then, after a little while, Xie Dongqiang’s voice followed, “I scalded myself with hot water; come on in.”
Lu Zixun thought Lin Qiang would enter, but Lin Qiang remained stationary, furrowing his brows, as if puzzled by something.
“When Xie Dongqiang and I talked over the phone earlier, his voice didn’t sound .”
Listening to Lin Qiang mutter to himself, Lu Zixun also felt the voice was not something a human could produce, like the grinding noise of rusted gears, grating and hoarse.
Taking out the camera he had prepared earlier, Lin Qiang took a deep breath, pressed the shutter button, and walked in.
Seeing this, Lu Zixun quickly followed behind Lin Qiang and, upon entering the room, instinctively looked up, causing his pupils to dilate.
A loud cat’s cry echoed through the house, drawing the attention of Lin Qiang, who was walking ahead.
