After seeing the two mutants, Big Cat and Little Yi headed straight for the Linshui Mansion.

"The Zhou family's mansion is quite famous in our bureau."

With betel nut and cigarette dangling from his mouth, Da Mao casually shared his knowledge of the Linshui Mansion with Xiao Yi.

"A large magic array was set up for this house from the very beginning of its construction."

"Immune to all evils."

"After its completion, a stone array was added to the gardens surrounding the mansion."

"In addition, the mansion is located right by the lake."

"The entire courtyard integrates various elements of heaven, earth, and the universe, and is surrounded by layers of magic arrays."

"Let alone ordinary evil spirits that can't get in, even the most powerful evil spirits that manage to force their way in will have their strength greatly reduced once they reach this place."

"It is truly as solid as a rock."

Big Cat spoke with great interest, but Little Yi became increasingly confused.

"Master, since the Linshui Mansion is so safe, why are we going there? The troublemaking demon isn't there. Isn't our mission here to capture the big troublemaking demon?"

The big cat's eyes suddenly darkened, and it shook its head deeply.

"Although the Linshui Mansion is impregnable, a demon can still enter if it receives an invitation or authorization from the owner."

"Moreover, it will not be harmed by the formation."

"At most, his power is suppressed and he cannot use it normally."

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and slammed on the brakes, almost throwing the big cat off.

"Master, you mean... that harmful demon was raised by the Zhou family themselves?!"

The big cat nearly vomited its lunch from the sudden stop.

"I'm just saying there's a possibility! You better drive properly and stop jumping around like that! Even if the sky falls, your master will hold it up!"

The master and apprentice bickered all the way, and finally arrived at the Linshui Mansion in the afternoon.

Junyao waited for the two of them for two hours, so excited that she didn't even take a nap.

But upon their first formal meeting, Junyao felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment.

These two don't seem very capable.

Xiao Yi looks like a normal young man.

She's just too thin, almost frail.

If Xiao Yi were to encounter a powerful demon that enjoys eating people, he would definitely be eaten like a duck neck.

Jun Yao clicked his tongue in amazement.

Let's take a look at the big cat.

This person is even less likely to be capable of doing anything worthwhile.

He had a bright red, bulbous nose.

There are also dense acne pits and marks on both sides of my cheeks.

He reeked of cigarette smoke.

There were several unidentified dark stains on the clothes.

Jun Yao wrapped her bathrobe tighter around herself, disapprovingly suspecting that Zhou Yichuan had just found two random extras to fob her off.

After all, she had met the director and deputy director of Bureau 749, as well as the director of the Special Operations Office.

They were all wearing crisp, clean uniforms, a style completely different from these two simpletons in front of them...

"You must be Mrs. Zhou." Big Cat took out his business card and handed it over. "I'm Big Cat, the investigator in charge of the mutant case."

Junyao glanced down at the business card.

I didn't answer.

She understood that the people in Bureau 749 used code names to refer to each other in order to conceal their true social identities.

But the name "Big Cat" is just as casual as he is!

It's hard to believe.

Big Cat seemed to have anticipated Jun Yao's reaction.

Because she is, after all, a female celebrity.

Moreover, she married into a wealthy family and has a prominent status.

It's normal to put on airs.

Big Cat took the business card back without any embarrassment.

He then spoke in a businesslike tone, "We're here to get more details about those two mutants from yesterday. Where would be a better place to talk?"

Junyao invited the person to a private guest room.

The servants had prepared a sumptuous afternoon tea feast here, and every dish looked mouthwatering.

Big Cat and Little Yi resisted the urge to drool and tried their best not to look at the afternoon tea.

Junyao, however, seemed unhurried and warmly invited them to eat something first.

"You can eat while I talk."

Jun Yao sat on a single sofa, looking slightly melancholy as she rubbed her forehead.

"Actually, this isn't the first time I've encountered a mutant, you know?"

Big Cat set his sights on a plate of smoked pork knuckle. He tore off a large piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed it heartily. At the same time, he nodded to Junyao to show that he was listening.

Xiao Yi still felt uneasy. He didn't eat anything, but instead followed up on Jun Yao's words, saying, "We did a background check before we came. We know that your first encounter with a mutant was at an awards ceremony not long ago. However, according to our investigation, that time it was caused by a fox demon, but this time it's not. So, the events shouldn't have anything in common."

"No!"

Junyao suddenly raised her hands and pressed them to her chest, her eyes filled with terror as she stared at the calm lake outside the window.

When she spoke again, her voice was trembling.

"These two things have something in common..."

"It's very likely related to this thing living inside my body..."

"I don't know how to describe this feeling..."

"And even Master Liang couldn't tell that there was another person hiding inside my body..."

"So I can only place my hopes on you!"

"You must help me get rid of this monster inside me!"

Big Cat couldn't chew his second piece of pork knuckle.

What?

Mrs. Zhou actually claimed that something else lived inside her body?

However, all the five elements indicators of the waterfront mansion showed normal results...

Seeing that neither of them said a word, Jun Yao couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, making the matter sound even more serious.

"The first time I slapped Wei Yu twice, I turned her into a stalactite monster."

"At the time, my husband immediately arranged for a team to handle the crisis, which is how we managed to resolve the situation and reduce the chances of her cosmetic surgery going wrong."

"I thought that was the end of it..."

"After that, I thought that as long as I hit people or had a physical altercation with them, they would be harmed."

"So from then on, I became very cautious and tried to minimize contact with other people."

"But what happened yesterday was even stranger."

"I hadn't even touched them...they mutated on their own!"

"This shows how powerful the demon living in my heart is! You absolutely have to help me... otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will hurt the people around me!"

After hearing Jun Yao say this, Big Cat and Little Yi were in unprecedented agreement.

The two used their best skills, one using wood-based sensing and the other using water-based attraction.

But let's not talk about them.

Even Junyao herself did not feel any physical changes or discomfort.

Are these two any good?

"Tell me the truth... have you ever succeeded using the same method before?"

The big cat got a little angry.

"How could I get a permanent position if I hadn't succeeded before? Of course, we each have our own methods! It's the basics!"

However, even using basic skills is still of no use.

The big cat couldn't sense the presence of another soul in Junyao.

Xiao Yi couldn't shake Jun Yao's heart.

All signs point to this—

Mrs. Zhou is lying!
