Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

There was no sound from Xiaoyaojian all afternoon, until the entire Tsinghua Building fell silent.

The bamboo rain room next door.

Shi Yu frowned slightly. "Logically, it should be about time. Why isn't he awake yet? Does Qin Huaiyu have other plans?"

Aunt Liu had already asked once, and she had repeatedly assured that he would wake up tonight. If he didn't wake up, then there would definitely be more trouble.

"I really don't know what you were thinking. You've cast a spell, and now you think you're above it all? What if we actually call a doctor and it gets discovered? What will you do then?"

Shi Yu muttered unhappily in a low voice, but in her heart, she couldn't help but ponder her excuse again.

"I really owe you one. If it weren't for wanting to watch the show, I wouldn't be helping you!"

She pouted angrily, her delicate features appearing even more striking at that moment. .

But this state only lasted for a short while.

Shiyu couldn't help but worry, "Oh dear, could something have happened to him...?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Given his cultivation level, there aren't many people in this town who could pose a threat to him!"

"Could something have gotten in the way?"

The more she thought about it, the more unsettled she became.

"No, I have to go and see."

Just then, a faint noise came from next door.

"Squeak, squeak"

It sounds like the sound of footsteps on the floor.

"woke up!"

Shi Yu felt relieved and then listened carefully to the sounds coming from next door.

In a carefree state.

Zheng Laizi walked around the room a few steps in a daze, his movements seemingly normal.

But his face, covered in pockmarks, showed no expression whatsoever, as if he had facial paralysis. His dark eyes were empty and lifeless, like those of a living dead.

However, this state only lasted for a short while.

His stiff face relaxed, his thick lips curled up slightly, his eyes narrowed, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"This Insect King is indeed powerful, able to control the body in every way. No wonder the two people in Beiyuan Village who were infected with Gu were two different people under the control of the village chief and Shen Jie. Gu magic is truly amazing."

As he pondered this, he walked to the window, pushed open the pane, and glanced at the moonlight.

"It's almost time; it's time to go see that black rat."

"Oh, what a miserable life! I was born to be a son, and now I have to be a son again, a rat son at that! I was born without a father!"

He sighed and leaped out of the window.

Shiyu stood at the window next door, frowning in deep thought.

"What does 'passing through' mean?"

"He's supposed to be a son? Isn't he already a son of the Qin family? Why does he sound so resentful? Could there be some hidden story?"

Watching her figure gradually disappear into the night, she took a few light steps and vanished completely from the spot.

In the dark night,

A figure landed swiftly on a hillside.

Looking down from here, you can see the Black Rat's house in the suburbs. Due to the difference in location, you can see the whole house from here, whether it is inside or outside, the roof, or the people hiding there.

"As expected, I knew he would come."

Shi Yu looked at the furtive figure on the roof and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Qin Huaiyu felt a strange sensation in his mind. Suddenly, he felt someone staring at him, so he looked up and looked around.

The empty rooftops and the lush trees on the ridge were the only other sights of people.

"Is the perception wrong?"

He shook his head to clear his mind of distractions, focusing his consciousness on controlling Zheng Laizi.

Qin Huaiyu could have easily kept to himself at home and remotely control the system without showing his face, but to be absolutely sure, he sneaked over and waited in place beforehand.

quickly

Under control, Zheng Laizi's figure burst out of the night, his toes barely touching the eaves as he rushed into the courtyard like a bird returning to its nest.

Hearing the noise, a large black rat in a long robe came out of the house.

"Father!" Zheng Laizi bowed and called out, mimicking his manner from yesterday.

The big black rat stared intently at its son, its scarlet eyes revealing a fierce glint.

"What's going on today? Why didn't you go pick up the list? Why did you have someone from the mountain deliver it personally? Are you trying to expose everyone?!"

...Oh no, I forgot about that!

Qin Huaiyu then remembered that Zheng Laizi had sent the list, but it was too late to say anything at this point, so he hurriedly thought of an excuse.

Zheng Laizi, adopting a submissive demeanor, said:

"Father, it's my fault. I couldn't swallow the anger of being beaten last night, so I ate a few drinks. When I woke up, it was already evening."

"Hmph, you better not forget why you were kept alive. If there's a next time, I won't let you off easily."

The big black rat's hairy face softened as it spoke.

"Don't blame your father for being strict. A true man can bend and stretch. What's wrong with enduring a moment of humiliation? Besides, once things are done, Qin Huaiyu will be at your disposal. No one will stop you from killing or dismembering him. But right now, don't delay important matters."

As expected of a clever rat, it even knows how to give a slap followed by a sweet treat, using tricks in parenting, full of psychological manipulation.

Qin Huaiyu learned a lesson. If this dead rat were in his previous life, he would definitely be a candidate for running a pyramid scheme.
