All my teammates online are my girlfriends

Lin Qiu murmured to himself, his gaze intently fixed on each of the female team members.

But to my disappointment, the clothes didn't disappear.

Tsk——

He pursed his lips in annoyance, and before Lin Qiu could look away, he saw these guys take out some strange gadgets from their bags and stuff them under the bed.

Whips, ropes, rags, wooden sticks...

Holy crap, what kind of deep-seated grudge is this that warrants such thorough preparation?!

Despite his cowardice, Lin Qiu didn't take it too seriously. With a light leap, he instantly disappeared from the room.

When he reappeared, he had already returned to his room.

Unexpectedly, a petite figure was sneaking around in her room, completely unaware of Lin Qiu appearing behind her.

Feeling the magic he had been searching for for so long, Lin Qiu's expression immediately became solemn.

[Forbidden Restraints]

With a flick of his finger, six chains shot out from the void and instantly bound the figure tightly.

Caught off guard by this sudden attack, the petite figure stiffened slightly and turned her head in alarm to look behind her.

"Ok?"

Lin Qiu's gaze froze; the face was completely unfamiliar.

Wherever he looked, the source of the magic he had been searching for was a petite cat-eared girl with a wild look in her innocent face.

She bears a resemblance to Sawari, but her eyes hold a fierce edge, and her skin is a healthy wheat color; she is thin and somewhat malnourished.

In her mouth was a small bag of chocolates that Lin Qiu had just dropped.

"who are you?"

"Gulp-"

Without answering Lin Qiu's question, the cat-eared girl, as if afraid he would snatch it away, hurriedly swallowed the chocolate and then continued to glare at him fiercely.

These cat ears don't look fake. I've never seen them in real life. Could they have come out of "Kara no Kyoukai"?

"Who sent you?"

"..."

Still receiving no response, Lin Qiu tentatively took a step forward, but the other party bared his teeth as if his fur had been bristled, and his breathing became somewhat chaotic.

He seemed ready to fight to the death if he got too close.

"Sawari, call the class president and the others over here. I've caught someone...

"Coming right now!"

Ze Zhi was taken aback upon hearing this, but without delay, she quickly called Qin Yunmo and the others to rush over.

Before they arrived, Lin Qiu didn't rest either. After maintaining the magic lock that bound the catgirl, he carefully approached.

As he approached, the cat-eared girl's expression grew increasingly fierce. She tried to channel her magic, but after a few seconds, feeling the stagnant magic within her body, she deflated completely.

Why isn't the magic working?!

"Stop struggling, as long as these chains stay in place,"

Lin Qiu spoke again, and with a wave of his hand, a black spear was pressed against the other party's chin.

Feeling the coldness of the spear tip, the cat-eared girl's body stiffened slightly, and her breath weakened faintly.

After a long silence, the other party finally spoke—

"Outside the central courtyard, the vanguard reconnaissance team, is on surveillance."

"Atrium..."

The forces in "Karakuri"!

Lin Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, but before he could ask again, Ze Zhi and the others had already arrived.

Upon seeing the cat-eared girl hanging inside the room, everyone's expressions immediately tensed up.

"What's going on, you shady merchant? Is it an assassin?"

"Scout."

"Is it the source of magic you sensed before?"

"Yes, the exact same aura, although I don't know how they did it."

Lin Qiu nodded, showing no intention of letting go of the other person. After taking the rope from Tang Feilin, he quickly tied the other person up like a dumpling.

Even so, the chains remained bound to her, firmly suppressing the activation of her magic.

"How did you manage to block others from perceiving your magic?"

"..."

The cat-eared girl didn't answer any further, pressing her lips tightly together. This was crucial information concerning the Central Court; if it were revealed like this, she would lose all her value!

We must stall them! We need to find a way to escape!

"This guy is really stubborn. So far, he's only said that he's a scout sent by the Midgard."

"Atrium..."

Qi Xi was taken aback upon hearing this, her gaze fixed intently on the cat-eared girl over there.

Now it's finally the turn of in-game characters to invade reality? If this scout is let go, it will definitely attract a huge army!

"Shall we interrogate them?"

"Give it to Bai Ya and the others? They have specialized training in interrogation techniques after capturing enemies."

"Let's give it a try first. Our team also has specialized intimidation and interrogation techniques."

Lin Qiu spoke, then gestured to Ze Zhi with his eyes. The fish-stealing cat's face immediately broke into a sinister, malicious smile...

249 - The Fish-Stealing Cat Who Does Nothing Human

"Is it tied tight?"

"They're completely covered up; they can't escape!"

"Okay, bring me my bag, all my stuff is in there."

"Is this it?"

"Yeah."

Boom! ! !

With a loud thud, a rather heavy suitcase was thrown in front of Sawaori right in front of the cat-eared girl.

Although they hadn't opened it yet, the cat-eared girl instinctively sensed the malice emanating from it, and her cat ears twitched slightly, making her feel a little uneasy.

Although she had prepared herself for the possibility of being captured and tortured, she still felt uneasy when she actually faced it.

Especially those creepy smiles on their faces just now, they're clearly planning to do something utterly inhuman!

"Who goes first?"

Zezhi patted his suitcase and asked with a chuckle.

Back in the game, Lin Qiu and I loved playing the interrogation segment the most. Now that the opportunity had come in real life, we couldn't miss it!

"You go first. Besides Lin Qiu, you're the best at this among everyone here."

Qi Xi shrugged nonchalantly, saying that if these two couldn't get anything out of them, she would just hand them over to Bai Ya.

Zezhi glanced at the others, and seeing that none of them objected, she cheerfully spoke up—

"Then I'll go first."

The moment she finished speaking, Ze Zhi opened her suitcase, took out a piece of parchment, and spread it out in front of the cat-eared girl.

"We're all in this together, so don't say we won't help you. Here's your chance, choose your own criminal law."

Looking in the direction Zezhi pointed, the parchment was covered with densely written punishments.

Wax dripping, whipping, tickling the soles of the feet for two hours, gag...

Just a glance was enough to make the cat-eared girl turn pale with fright. She quickly closed her eyes and pursed her lips tightly.

Obeying Emperor Ning's orders, I will never reveal any information!

I swear by the honor of the cat demon clan!

Seeing the guy's unyielding attitude, Ze Zhi didn't care, and the smile on her face became even wider.

"It's okay if you don't choose, I'll pick one for you."

Zezhi rummaged through her suitcase for a while, and a few seconds later, under the subtle gazes of everyone, she pulled out a fortune-telling tube.

"I've written all these punishments on my signature; now it's up to fate to choose which one for you."

"..."

The cat-eared girl's eyelids twitched violently, and she glared at Zezhi with a hint of frustration.

If you're going to kill me or torture me, then go ahead and do it. If you're so capable, then stop with all this fancy stuff!

However, Ze Zhi ignored her little glances and started shaking the fortune-telling tube in a mysterious way.

The bamboo skewers rattled inside the tube, and even though the cat-eared girl didn't intend to look, her attention was irresistibly drawn to them.

"Clap!"

No, no, a bamboo skewer fell out, startling the cat-eared girl so much that her heart jumped.

Is it finally coming?

Zezhi glanced at the bamboo skewers that had been prepared, and suddenly sighed—

"Sigh, let's do it again."

How come your fortune-telling box keeps coming back again?!

Everyone glanced at Ze Zhi, their expressions becoming somewhat subtle. Something seemed off about his fortune-telling tube.

They're holding a prize draw here!

The cat-eared girl looked at the "Try Again" slip in her hand and felt completely disgusted. This bastard was trying to mentally torture her!

"Cough—don't mind it, let's continue."

Zezhi chuckled and then shook the fortune-telling tube again.

This time, the cat-eared girl's nerves were stretched to the limit, and her body, tied to the chair, was trembling constantly.

The solid mental defenses wavered for a fleeting moment.

"Clap!"

The second bamboo skewer fell to the ground, and the cat-eared girl immediately stared intently at it.

Seeing the familiar words "do it again," my eyelids twitched violently.

Damn it, are you ever going to stop?! Is there another prize mixed in with the pile of fortune sticks in your fortune-telling box?!

Seeing the cat-eared girl's expression, a mixture of fear and a hint of panic, Qi Xi, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but twitch her lips—

"Lin Qiu, do you and Ze Zhi usually play like this?"

"When you're interrogating someone for information, you have to break their will first. Look, that cat-eared girl is quite swayed. A few more rounds should be enough."

Lin Qiu casually remarked, watching with amusement as Ze Zhi shook the fortune-telling tube for the third time.

"Is this bucket full of 'do it again' kinds of things?"

"No, I only messed around for half of it, the rest was pretty proper."

"..."

You two are really doing something inhuman...

Upon hearing this, Qi Xi and the others couldn't help but glance at Lin Qiu, their eyes filled with a strange look.
