However, the sound of bamboo skewers hitting the ground quickly drew their attention again.
Unexpectedly, this time it wasn't a repeat, but a proper wax-dripping torture.
Looking at the punishment, the cat-eared girl even showed a hint of relief on her face.
Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Ze Zhi shoved the bamboo skewer back in, muttering—
"No, this is too inappropriate for children. Let's start over."
Grass! !
The cat-eared girl bared her teeth, already itching to curse.
These bastards are absolutely demons in human skin!! From the moment I saw them until now, have they ever done anything human?!
Before Sawaori could shake it a fourth time, the cat-eared girl quickly spoke up—
"Stop shaking! I'll tell you everything!"
"Tsk——"
Zezhi pouted somewhat unhappily. She was in the middle of a great time, and she threw the ball so quickly. Couldn't she have shown some of the steely resolve of a scout?
Seeing the guy's still unsatisfied expression, the cat-eared girl's face darkened.
If given the chance, I wouldn't even care about my main task of monitoring Lin Qiu; I'd rather take this guy down first!
"What's your name? Who assigned you this mission? What is the mission?"
Although she hadn't had enough fun yet, Ze Zhi didn't neglect her business. She sat down opposite the cat-eared girl with a serious expression, crossed her legs, and asked.
To match the atmosphere of the interrogation, Qi Xi specially brought her a small table and placed a small desk lamp with a bright light bulb on it, which almost blinded the cat-eared girl.
"My name is Cat Sanzhi. The person who assigned me this task is Charles, the captain of the Central Court Vanguard Reconnaissance Team. He wants me to monitor Lin Qiu, who has been in too much contact with the traitorous princess Chu Ning, and to report back on his movements as soon as possible."
"Neko Sange, what a strange name!"
"Go away, is that the point? Where did you meet up when you reported your mission? When is the next mission report?"
"The location is halfway up Mount Taixu, and the time is 11 p.m. three days later."
Cat Sanzhi answered listlessly, his pitiful defenses as fragile as paper in the face of these devils.
One can imagine that if Charles finds out that he has leaked the information, he will definitely suffer a terrible fate when he returns!
250 - A severe crisis of trust
"We've asked enough questions, what should we do with this guy?"
"Just take it out?"
"Ughhhh!! Ugh—"
Upon hearing that Zezhi and the others were going to kill him, Nekosan panicked and began to struggle and shout desperately.
However, with her mouth already stuffed with fruit, she could only let out a whimper and a very faint chewing sound.
I have to say, the food here tastes much better than what I can get in the courtyard!
"If we kill them now, they'll be on guard, which will hinder our next move. Let's keep them alive for now."
Lin Qiu shook his head and said, "We still need this guy to catch big fish; he can't die for now."
"Does that mean they're going to imprison him?"
"That's fine, but she has an item that conceals magical fluctuations, so confiscate it for now, and send a few people to keep a close eye on her."
As Lin Qiu spoke, he quickly put the strange stone necklace that she had offered into his pocket.
I've been craving this good stuff for a long time. If Baiya and the others attack in the middle of the night, I might just come in handy!
Zezhi and the others glanced at this guy's little tricks, but when they thought about what he might suffer that night, they felt relieved.
Seeing that she was safe, the cat Sanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and sped up her munching on the fruit, afraid that the delicious treat would be snatched away soon.
"Tang Feilin, this guy is in your hands now."
"Ah."
Tang Feilin nodded, untied Mao Sanzhi from the chair, re-tied him up like a dumpling, and then left the room.
After watching the two leave, Lin Qiu collapsed onto his large bed with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Now that the guy who was monitoring us has been caught, it means my room is safe, and I don't need to stay at Baiya's place tonight!
"Are you planning to stay here or go back to Baiya's place later?"
Zezhi asked casually and sat down on the sofa next to her in a carefree manner.
Whether this guy stays here or goes to the dorm, it feels very dangerous. It's questionable whether he can even survive tonight.
"Let's wait and see. We need to confirm Bai Ya and the others' movements first. Although it's safer here than at the dormitory, it's hard to guarantee they won't come looking for us. We still need to change our location."
Lin Qiu pondered for a moment, then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up as he stared at Ze Zhi.
"Sawaori, aren't you and Wusaki Kuma also in a double room? Why don't we switch?"
"what?"
Zezhi glanced at him sideways, then looked at Wusakikuma questioningly.
Changing rooms isn't out of the question; it depends on Sakuma's opinion. I, on the other hand, can sleep anywhere.
"I'm fine with it. The rooms are all the same anyway, I can just tidy them up later."
"Oh, thank you!"
Lin Qiu said cheerfully, and almost impatiently pushed Wu Xiaoxiong to her room.
As Ying Ziyan watched Lin Qiu's retreating figure, her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Now that Lin Qiu has a safe room, doesn't that mean he has no reason to squeeze into my room? Does that mean there's no point in me and Qi Xi swapping beds?!
Oops—the situation is getting bad!
Or... should we reveal some information to Baiya and the others?
If Bai Ya and the others continue to hunt down Lin Qiu, he will have no choice but to come to his room!
Sinful thoughts kept growing in Ying Ziyan's mind, and in the end, she couldn't resist the temptation and beckoned to Qin Yunmo who was standing beside her—
"I'll go back and tidy up the bed first."
"Ah."
Qin Yunmo nodded, seemingly unaware of anything, and followed her out of the room.
Seeing Ying Ziyan's questioning look, she casually said—
"I'll go back and get ready, and take a shower while I'm at it."
"..."
Did this guy see right through my thoughts?
Ying Ziyan felt a little flustered, but she calmed herself down. At worst, she could keep Qin Yunmo calm while she found a chance to slip away!
Or if all else fails, I can just run to Lin Qiu's room. With me there, Bai Ya and the others can't possibly kidnap someone in front of me, right?
While Ying Ziyan was pondering various solutions, Tang Feilin, who had taken away the three cats, returned to her room.
After locking the doors and windows, Tang Feilin untied Mao Sanzhi to Mao Sanzhi's surprise.
"Now that everyone else is here, let's have a proper talk, shall we?"
"Gulp-"
After swallowing the last bit of fruit, Mao Sanzhi also kept a wary eye on Tang Feilin.
Although we don't know what this guy is planning, he's obviously not a good person to be hanging out with those guys!
It's better to be on guard!
"Don't worry, we said we wouldn't kill you, so we won't hurt you. The so-called punishment we just mentioned was just a bluff."
"Those things like dripping candle wax, whipping..."
"I was just kidding. Besides, there weren't any torture instruments in her suitcase at all. It was just that bamboo tube and parchment."
"..."
Hearing Tang Feilin's explanation, Mao Sanzhi felt completely distraught.
You guys are trying to scam honest people?!
What exactly do you want?
“I am very interested in your central courtyard. Tell me more about it. There is some information that even Qi Xi may not be able to find out.”
Tang Feilin moved two chairs over and gestured for them to enter.
Mao Sanzhi gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage to sit down.
"You should know that we are enemies. I can't reveal any more information, otherwise I will be completely on the opposite side of the Central Court."
“I don’t think so. You know, when you revealed the meeting place, you were already on the opposite side.”
Tang Feilin, on the other hand, appeared calm.
“Even if you are determined enough and do not reveal any information to us, just if we casually mention that you have communicated with us, it will be enough for them to become suspicious of you.”
"After all, it's a period of probing between the two sides. If they have any doubts, it's not impossible for them to execute you directly."
"..."
Upon hearing Tang Feilin's words, Mao Sanzhi realized the seriousness of the problem, and her face turned pale.
"So, I can give you a chance. Since returning to the Central Court is a dead end for you, you might as well reveal all your information and join our side."
"How can you guarantee that you won't kill me after I reveal the information?"
Mao Sanzhi stared at Tang Feilin, making no attempt to hide her suspicion.
All I wanted was to live a good life. If it weren't for the Central Court's forced conscription of the Nekomata clan, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
"We're not like the Midgard; we still have our share of leniency. If you join us, we'll provide you with food and lodging, and if you report intelligence, it will be considered a meritorious service, with additional rewards."
Meals and accommodation included...
Mao Sanzhi's eyes narrowed instantly, but she still couldn't help but have some doubts.
You guys just lied to me; there's a serious crisis of trust between us!
251 - What are you doing in his room?
"Tell us all the information, and then join our research institute."
"As long as you join our research institute, you will receive free meals and accommodation, a high monthly salary, a five-day work week with two days off, five social insurances and one housing fund, and gifts and bonuses at the end of the year."
"If you reveal information about the Central Court, it will be a great achievement, and there will be an extra reward, which will allow you to have any desires to a certain extent."
"Gulp-"
Hearing Tang Feilin's long list of tempting conditions, Mao Sanzhi couldn't help but swallow hard.
It must be said that these conditions are far better than those offered by the central courtyard, and are extremely tempting!
But if this guy turns against you, you'll have nowhere to turn for help.
How can you be sure you won't regret it at the crucial moment?
"We can draw up a written agreement, and we can also give you a deposit first."
As Tang Feilin spoke, she picked up a suitcase from the side and threw it directly in front of her.
This whole box is filled with snacks confiscated from the security department during training sessions. It should be enough to seduce this silly catgirl.
Just as Tang Feilin had expected, Mao Sanzhi opened the suitcase and glanced at it, then stared wide-eyed.
After slamming her suitcase shut with a loud "bang," she solemnly began to speak—
"Do you have paper and pen? There's too much information; I'm afraid you won't be able to remember it just by listening."
"Of course."
