I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 235 Use me as bait
"Xiaoye, come here! I'll hold you and let you try out the new wheelchair."

Around six o'clock in the evening, Lin Xing'an returned home carrying various vegetables and pushing the wheelchair he had just bought.

Xu Ye, who was curled up on the sofa with a quilt covering him, saw him and a look of joy appeared on his face!
"Are you hungry? Wait and try the wheelchair, I'll cook right away."

"Beef stew to nourish you."

Lin Xing'an walked to the sofa, knelt on one knee and opened his arms.

Xu Ye also sat up, opened his arms, and threw himself into Lin Xing'an's arms.

"……Thanks……"

She leaned on Lin Xing'an's shoulder and whispered.

"Xiaoye, we are already husband and wife, there is no need to be so polite."

"In two years, when you have recovered, Mother will give us a baby."

"Then you'll be the mother and I'll be the father."

"We will live together for the rest of our lives, and now everything has just begun."

Lin Xing'an said with a smile, then carried Xu Ye to the wheelchair that looked like a sofa.

"So... so soft..."

The moment he sat down, a look of surprise appeared on Xu Ye's face!
It wasn't like the cheap wheelchair she used to have that would frost in cold weather and even freeze if you put your tongue on it.

This wheelchair was carefully selected by Lin Xing'an.

It can be completely understood as an extremely comfortable sofa.

"These buttons on the right are used to control the wheelchair's movement."

"Then on the left, this is the seat cushion heating, which you'll need if it's cold outside. This one has a flat backrest so you can lie down."

"This is a leg massage. I tried it and it was quite comfortable and somewhat useful."

"Xiaoye, try it yourself. I'll go stew the meat first."

After Lin Xing'an introduced Xu Ye, he patted her head.

"it is good……"

Xu Ye looked at Lin Xing'an's back, feeling the comfort and warmth under him, and his eyes turned red again.

In these two short days, Lin Xing'an seemed to make up for all the love and care she had missed in the first half of her life.

Even though all the harm she suffered was not Lin Xing'an's fault, and had nothing to do with him at all...

Xu Ye closed his eyes.

Is this what it feels like to be truly loved?

She controlled the wheelchair with a smile on her face.

"How's it going, Xiaoye? Are you okay?"

"Mm! So comfortable!"

Xu Ye raised his head and said with a smile.

Seeing that she seemed to have suddenly become much more cheerful, Lin Xing'an was also stunned.

"As long as you're comfortable, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the neighborhood on the weekend. You can walk around the neighborhood when the weather is nice."

Lin Xing'an pushed Xu Ye from behind and came to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.

"..."

Xu Ye didn't answer.

Instead, she was a little timid and tentatively held Lin Xing'an's hand gently, and leaned her head on Lin Xing'an's arm like a kitten.

Lin Xing'an also held Xu Ye's hand in reverse.

The two of them just looked at the night view of North City in silence.

"Xiaoye, dinner won't be served for at least forty minutes. Why don't you take a hot bath first?"

"okay."

Xu Ye nodded obediently.

Coming to the bathroom, Xu Ye bent down as if possessed by some unknown force as he saw Lin Xing'an squatting down to flush the toilet.

Like a chick pecking at rice, she kissed Lin Xing'an on the cheek.

This kiss stunned both Xu Ye and Lin Xing'an.

"I……"

Xu Ye's little face turned visibly red.

"I just like you..."

She lowered her head and whispered.

And Lin Xing'an lifted her face.

Without giving Xu Ye a chance to react, he looked at Xu Ye's blushing face and kissed him.

"Me too."

he said with a smile.

Then he picked up Xu Ye and put him into warm water.

"Soak more, and rub your legs at night to get rid of the cold."

"I am going tocook."

Lin Xing'an placed the shower gel and other items next to the bathtub.

He picked up another bath towel and covered Xu Ye's head.

"Hey~"

Xu Ye's vision was suddenly blocked, causing him to shrink underwater with a whimper.

When she showed her flushed face again, Lin Xing'an had already closed the door and left.

"Gululu..."

A faint aroma of rice wafted from the kitchen.

Xu Ye applied some bubbles on himself and shrank back into the water.

"The Minister is so cruel..."

"You don't care how hard it is for me to canvass for votes..."

In the kitchen, under the mist of steam, Lin Xing'an was browsing the committee's internal network.

Although the official registration and qualification review of committee candidate will not begin until three days later.

But when he went out on the mission today, Zhang Guang had already given his first speech as a candidate for committee member.

The location was in the Siege Department, but many colleagues from the Coordination Department skipped work to attend.

Because the content of the speech was the committee's succession system.

In the past, this inheritance system had nothing to do with ordinary people.

But now, after killing Taoyuan, most people have the right of inheritance by their descendants.

This power became closely related to everyone overnight.

In his speech, Zhang Guang spoke at length about the various advantages of the system of inheritance by descendants.

For example, promoting the reproduction of gluttons, maintaining stability within the committee, and strengthening the work confidence of committee members, etc.

Various examples were given.

For example, all seven committee members today, without exception, have parents who are members of the committee, etc...

In a word, the inheritance system is the foundation of the committee.

The reason why the committee has become as powerful as it is today is because of the inheritance system!
The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed!

Although Lin Xing'an didn't go to see it in person.

But just by looking at the text description, Lin Xing'an could fully imagine the scene of thunderous applause below.

Zhang Guang's speech this time made his position very clear and firm.

In particular, it broke the seven committee members' stereotypes of him.

The most important thing is that Zhang Guang did not mention Lin Xing'an at all in his speech.

But it seemed as if Lin Xingan was everywhere, and he secretly talked about Lin Xingan's incident at the celebration banquet several times...

This made it even harder for Lin Xingan, who already had a hard time getting votes through the idea of "abolishing the inheritance system," to win votes...

"It can only be done by accumulating prestige."

"Kill Shiliuyue. Even if my views affect everyone's interests, everyone should still vote for me..."

“The premise is that the ability of June has had a huge impact on my colleagues on the committee, including key colleagues.”

"The greater the impact, the more votes I'll get after I kill Sixteen..."

Lin Xing'an put down his phone and thought silently.

……

"Are you okay? Do you feel anything?"

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Xing'an wiped the sweat from his forehead, put down Xu Ye's calf and asked.

"I seem to have some feelings..."

"I seem……"

Xu Ye frowned, pursed his lips, and stared at his toes.

"Um……"

She took a deep breath and her face flushed red.

A hint of chill emanated from her body, and the temperature in the room dropped rapidly.

"Ah!" When the room was about to break through zero degrees, Xu Ye breathed a sigh of relief!

And her left big toe actually trembled slightly.

"Ah! It's moving! My big toe!"

Even though it was just an extremely subtle movement, Xu Ye still widened his eyes and pointed at his own little feet and said excitedly!

“I recorded it!”

"Xiaoye, you're awesome! I knew you could do it!"

"Come, take another look!"

Lin Xing'an quickly opened the video he had just recorded, handed over the phone, and said excitedly.

"Wow... I really did it..."

Xu Ye leaned over and looked at himself working hard in the video, and his eyes brightened a little.

"Mmmmm, that's amazing! I told you you could do that, right?"

"Believe in yourself! You're very capable. You'll be able to leave soon."

Lin Xing'an rubbed Xu Ye's long hair.

"Ok!"

Lin Xing'an's heartfelt encouragement and concern warmed Xu Ye's heart, and he nodded heavily!
"Lin Xing'an, you know, you are the first person who thinks I am amazing."

She paused, took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xing'an and said.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what achievements Xu Ye made, Xu Zhe always felt that it was what Xu Ye deserved and that it was because of his good education.

But if Xu Ye makes any mistake, it will all be Xu Ye's fault.

"Lin Xing'an, you are the first person to praise me."

"You are the first one who is genuinely happy for me."

"I like you."

Xu Ye opened his arms and hugged Lin Xing'an like a little sloth.

"Xiaoye, this kind of life has just begun."

"All the pain you've suffered before will never come back."

Lin Xing'an whispered in Xu Ye's ear.

It was only then that Xu Ye noticed that Lin Xing'an's eyelashes and eyebrows were covered with a layer of frost because of her previous actions.

"It doesn't matter! As long as Xiaoye gets better, I can be frozen into an ice sculpture!"

"Alright! Get in bed and warm up for a while!"

Lin Xing'an patted Xu Ye's butt and put her into bed.

Then he turned off the lights and lay down aside.

"...Lin Xing'an, I feel a little cold."

In the darkness, Xu Ye tugged at Lin Xing'an's sleeve, blinked his bright eyes, looked at Lin Xing'an and muttered.

"Then I'll warm you up."

Lin Xing'an looked at Xu Ye.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and he pulled back Xu Ye's quilt.

Amid Xu Ye's exclamation, he hugged Xu Ye in his arms.

"Is this better?"

"...It will get better if I hold you for a while longer."

Xu Ye buried his face in Lin Xing'an's chest and whispered.

"it is good."

Lin Xing'an also smiled and hugged Xu Ye even tighter.

……

11:40 pm.

Lin Xing'an looked at Xu Ye who was already sleeping soundly in his arms and gently put her down.

Then he changed his position and lay on his side.

Under the night sky of North City, the gloomy sight of Lin Xing'an drifted in the wind.

"Oatmeal milk tea, 39% off..."

Through the discount information of the milk tea shop, he found the cat under a big banyan tree on the back mountain of Talent Park.

To be precise, it's a cat in human form.

This was not the first time Lin Xing'an saw a cat in human form, nor was it the first time Lin Xing'an saw what a cat truly looked like.

But tonight, the cat seemed unusually serious.

Under the moonlight shining through the banyan tree, she was wearing a black Lolita dress.

Just looking at the face, the cat looks like a well-dressed junior high school student.

But her temperament and every gesture reveal dignity and elegance.

It is just sitting under the most ordinary and common tree, but people are afraid to approach it.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Yin Hui slowly transformed into the appearance of Lin Xing'an.

Since the cat dares to reveal its true form in this place, it proves that this place is absolutely safe.

"It's only two days~"

The cat lifted the hem of her skirt, stood up, and sighed softly.

"Sister Sixteen is ready to use her abilities. Her goal is to infect as many high-ranking members of the committee as possible and cause as many casualties as possible."

"The organization has discussed two options for the current spread of the epidemic."

The cat held a huge pine cone picked up from the ground and looked at the moon in the sky that was as bright as a silver basin.

"One is to send someone to contract the [Epidemic] first, then self-destruct and invade the Siege and Kill Division, using the Siege and Kill Division as the source of infection."

"The downside of this approach is ... someone has to be sacrificed."

"Furthermore, such a blatant suicide attack would easily arouse suspicion and make the gluttons wary."

"Once the gluttons realize this, the spread of the epidemic will become much more difficult."

The cat looked at Lin Xing'an.

Lin Xing'an slowly shook his head, "This method won't work."

"The Siege Division is the most targeted department against humans. Even if a Class B comrade were to launch a self-destruction attack, it wouldn't last long. At most, it would infect a few colleagues in the Operations Division."

"And colleagues in the Operations Department are usually scattered throughout North City, so the efficiency of secondary transmission is not high, let alone infecting senior management."

Lin Xing'an's words didn't surprise the cat at all.

Obviously, these situations have also been considered.

"The second method is a bit risky. The plan is for Zhang Hang to show up and lure the gluttonous ghost into pursuit."

"Zhang Hang...is he the comrade who tried to kill me with an arrow last time?"

Lin Xing'an raised his eyes and asked.

"Yes."

The cat nodded.

"His qualifications are very high. After the Tao Ghost captures him, he will not kill him immediately. He will definitely be interrogated."

"For the sake of merit, the person who interrogated his glutton must not be just an ordinary glutton. He must be at least a director-level one."

"If we infect a glutton of this level, the subsequent success rate will be higher."

"But the downside of this approach is..."

Before Mao could finish her words, Lin Xing'an raised his hand to interrupt her.

"I have a better way."

"I know it. Tell me."

The cat smiled and gestured for invitation.

"Use me as the source of infection and spread the infection."

"I can reach anyone I want to reach, anywhere I want to go, from ordinary colleagues to Zhang Guang and even committee members."

"Thinking of it as bait will cause the greatest damage to the committee."

The moonlight shining through Lin Xing'an's gloomy body made him look somewhat unreal.

The cat remained silent, his brows slightly furrowed.

"As for how to infect me..."

Lin Xing settled down.

"Direct infection? The risk is too great."

Seeing that Lin Xing'an didn't say anything, the cat spoke.

Once Lin Xing'an becomes the first glutton to be infected, he will definitely be investigated and suspected.

"Don't infect me directly. Let Shiliuyue rescue Yu Kexin and infect her owner."

"Once Yu Kexin was rescued, as a glutton, I had to return to the scene and contact her owner."

"I will be infected during the contact."

"This way, I won't be suspected."
