I am the one running the game

Chapter 652 I found that there is a problem in our tribe, Li said to Hui
"Some of the tribesmen seem to be acting a little strange recently. Have you noticed?" Li touched the back of his head and asked Hui hesitantly.

He believed that Hui, as a witch, must have noticed the changes in the tribe.

"I didn't feel any changes." Hui's answer was beyond his expectations: "Maybe you are too tired, so you have hallucinations."

"However, you should not go out hunting these days and rest in the tribe for a while."

Hui's words left Li confused for a moment.

Being too tired will cause hallucinations? What kind of saying is this? Anyway, he has never heard of it.

But since it was Hui who said it, it must make sense.

"There's no need to rest, but Hui, are you sure you haven't felt any changes?" Li still didn't give up. Although he was not a witch, there was nothing wrong with his brain.

"Tell me, what changes have taken place in the tribe?" Hui seemed to believe him and her expression became serious.

"For example, Sui, he seems to have become much stronger recently, and he is so mysterious and no one knows what he is doing."

"And Fei, I remember she was tilling the land before, but she seems to have become a little strange recently, looking for some herbs."

"Besides that, like Wei, he also..."

Li gave a lot of examples at once. He had spent a long time with these people and could easily notice the changes.

In fact, there is another person he didn't say it, and that is Hui in front of him. He felt that Hui seemed to have changed the most, especially in terms of strength, but he didn't say it.

"It's surprising that there has been such a big change." Hui responded with pretended surprise, and then said, "Don't leak this matter first. I will investigate the reason."

"Don't worry, Hui. I haven't told anyone about this." Li said, patting his chest.

"That's good. You know, once others find out, they will be scared and it will cause instability in the entire tribe."

"For this reason, you must keep it secret. It won't be too late to announce it once I find the truth." Hui sternly warned Li not to speak nonsense.

"I understand!" When Li heard that it was so serious, he assured her again with a serious look.

But then I thought again: "Hui, will this incident really affect the tribe?"

"Yes. If I tell you that there are more than a hundred people with problems in the tribe, would you be afraid?" Hui gave him an example.

"Of course I'm scared." Li answered immediately, but he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the example Hui gave him. Before he could think deeply about it, Hui's words interrupted his thoughts.

"That's all, so you mustn't tell anyone." Hui reminded again and again.

"I know. I'll go out and prepare for hunting first. Hui, remember to be careful when investigating and don't get discovered." After Li said that, he got up and left.

On the way back to his home, he was thinking, and then suddenly his steps stopped.

He suddenly found something wrong with the example Hui gave him.

"How does Hui know that there are problems with more than a hundred people?" he muttered softly.

Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Even he didn't know how many people in the tribe had changed, but Hui could tell the approximate number.

This means that Hui actually knows about this and knows it better than him.

After coming to this conclusion, he felt his hair stand on end. Combined with the changes in Hui during this period, he felt more and more scared.

After returning home in a daze, he was brought back to life by the voice of his son Dian.

"What's wrong? I noticed that you have had this expression since you came back from Hui's tent." Dian asked.

"Nothing, just something." He responded.

Dian is already thirteen years old and is a five-patterned totem warrior in the tribe. On weekdays... wait, Li discovered a problem, that is, why did his son have five patterns?

He remembered that he should have only had two tattoos before.

"Dian, when did you become a five-pattern totem warrior?" He looked puzzled.

He is the father, how come he didn't notice that his son's strength was improving so quickly?

"Oh, I picked up some opportunities when I went out hunting before." Dian said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"No, how could an opportunity improve so quickly? It's only been a few days?" Li certainly didn't believe it. It was too outrageous.

How could he not understand what his son is capable of?

"Otherwise how can it be called an opportunity? It's because it's rising so fast." Dian followed Li's words and then immediately changed the subject: "These are all trivial matters. Or tell me what news you just heard from Hui."

"I'm telling you, you must not tell anyone." Li thought, since he's his son, it doesn't matter if he tells anyone. "I suspect there's something wrong with the people in our tribe, even Hui."

Then he briefly told Dian about his speculation and the changes in some people in the tribe.

"Indeed, the change is so great that anyone with a discerning eye can see it."

"But I think you're thinking too much. They are still the same. There's no change at all." Dian said with a smile.

"No, no, no, no, it's not like that. It feels to me like she has become a different person. Can you imagine what Fei would be like if she didn't plow the fields?" Li disagreed with Dian's words.

"Well, let's wait for Hui's news. You can't possibly go investigate, can you?" Dian asked back. "Of course not. I don't have the time. I have to go hunting." Li thought about it. There were changes, but it didn't seem to have much impact on his life.

Every day he still hunted, ate, and slept, and the day passed like this.

When I thought about this, I felt that I might be overthinking it.

We are all from the same tribe, how could there be any problems?

"Let's go then, hunting time is almost here." Dian spoke up to remind them. As the totem warrior of the tribe, he naturally needed to go hunting as well.

Li's thoughts were interrupted and he no longer paid any attention to it. He then took his son to gather and prepare for hunting.

But I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. It feels weird, but I can’t remember where it is.

But since he couldn't remember, he ignored it.

Hui was already waiting for them at the scene. After everyone arrived, she began to cast totem spells on the tribal warriors who were about to set out for hunting.

This is something that we have to experience every day.

Li looked at Hui, and there was no change at all, as if he had not told him about the changes in the tribe.

"As expected of Hui, she hid it really well. If it were me, I would definitely take the opportunity to observe after hearing about this."

'Wait, maybe he knew, so there was no change? ' Suddenly, this thought came to Li's mind.

Before he could think about it carefully, he was urged by the hunting team to go out hunting together, and then he could only keep it in his heart temporarily.

...

At night, the tribe was completely silent, but there were hundreds of people gathered together.

"We still have to be careful with our actions. Li has discovered something and came here to report you today." Hui said helplessly.

He didn't want to gather everyone together, but there was no way. These people moved too fast and were noticed.

"Don't talk about us. When my father came out of your tent today, he also thought there was something wrong with you." Dian said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Hui blew his beard and glared: "Hey, this kid, his brain is not flexible when it should be flexible, and when it shouldn't be flexible, how can he see so many things."

"What should I do? I'll try to hit him on the back of his head and see if he can forget it?" Dian made a joke.

"Go away, go away, you've forgotten it in a moment. Now we can have our feast." Hui teased.

Then, Fei said, "But then again, why should we hide it? Why not just reveal our true colors directly?"

"It's not a big deal anyway, just let it be once you know."

Fei's words aroused the approval of some people.

"We are not strong enough." Hui gave a reason and said, "Lü said that things should be done in secrecy. Our strength is not enough to keep us safe."

"We are no match for the wizard kings right now. If a wizard king knew our origins, how do you think they would treat us?"

"They must be forcing us to reveal our secrets through torture rather than choosing to cooperate with us, right?"

"When Snail's true body enters parallel world number three, it won't matter anymore."

After hearing Hui's reason, everyone agreed.

"Then what about my father? He has doubts and will definitely continue to be suspicious." Dian asked.

"Otherwise... you dig a cellar, lock him in there, and then have Hui use totem magic to seal him so that he can't get out, and then let him out when the time is up." Wei said with a smile.

"That's a good idea. I can come forward and find a reason to say that Li was asked to do the job. You can spread some rumors. No one should suspect it." Hui thought this would work.

Anyway, as long as we lock up all the suspicious people, no one will suspect.

As for how to explain it afterwards, the witch king of the sacred tree descended from the sky and blew up all the enemies. It doesn’t really matter whether to explain it or not.

"What if other people also suspect it? We can't lock them all up together." Dian was speechless.

"It's not impossible. You can just dig a bigger cellar to avoid expanding it next time." Hui said seriously.

"Then why don't I let my father go digging? He is locked up in the cellar anyway, so he can do the digging along with the others." Dian thought that since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well do some work to stretch his muscles and avoid being too bored.

"You are so filial." Hui didn't expect that Dian would dare to say that.

"Let's try it in the Liguan cellar first. Lu's experiment is progressing quite fast. In about a month at most, the vortex will be expanded to a point where the snail can pass through."

"So in the future, everyone should be quiet and don't let anyone find you again, otherwise I'm afraid the cellar won't be big enough."

When Hui talked about the latter part, she couldn't help but make a joke.

When the others heard that there was only one month left, they didn't say anything. They thought it would be better to just take it easy and not be so anxious.
