  Facing the other party's question, Shi An did not answer.

The thick blanket almost wrapped the boy, only a hairy head was exposed, and the milky white mist in the cup slowly rose, steaming a thin layer of red on his face.

He raised his head blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shi Zechun suppressed his anger, forced an ugly smile, and said word by word:

"Shi An, Chief Mu is talking to you, do you hear me?"

"...Ah?" Shi An still hasn't recovered. , he turned his head to look at Shi Zechun subconsciously, and made a dazed monophonic sound.

Shi Zechun: "..."

This bastard didn't listen to him at all! !

Shi Zechun was so angry that his veins jumped wildly, but because Mu Heng was still there, he held back that he didn't have an attack.

Mu Heng obviously didn't mind the other party's distraction.

He lowered his eyes.

Beneath the silver-white eyelashes, the eyes are like steel-blue blades of blades, reflecting the distant and cold silver light in the sky.

After staring at Shi An for a few seconds, Mu Heng retracted his gaze and looked at Wen Yao.

"Has the test been done?" he asked casually.

"...This!" Wen Yao was startled: "This, not yet, not yet."

Some monsters can simulate the appearance and even the voice of humans, or parasitize in the human body, so in theory, they have had close contact with monsters Everyone is tested to ensure safety.

But this kind of monster is extremely rare, and there are almost no cases, so people have gradually ignored the existence of this program.

"Do you need me to apply now?" Wen Yao became nervous and asked, "The instrument should be delivered soon."

Mu Heng: "No."

Saying that, he took a step forward and lowered his eyes to look at Shi An:

"Give me your hand."

——The moving gleam said so.

So Shi An stretched out his hand in a daze.

Mu Heng took advantage of the situation and grabbed his slender wrist.

He was wearing jet-black tactical gloves, and the cold leather was rough and scratched with a weird pain on his skin.

Shi An was shocked.

He retracted reflexively, but was stopped halfway.

Immediately afterwards, only a "click" sound was heard, and a small silver ring was wrapped around his wrist.

Only then did Shi An come back to his senses.

He lowered his head in hindsight, and his eyes fell on the silver ring.

The silver ring was placed on the smooth and smooth wrist bones, and the radiance lined by the snow-white complexion shone.

The texture on the silver ring is changing, and it looks very beautiful in the light.

Shi An's eyes lit up.

Soon, the texture no longer changes.

The pattern above stays on top of a pattern.

Mu Heng frowned, a pair of silver-blue eyes were hidden under the long white eyelashes, and his eyes fixed on the surface of the silver bracelet, which seemed a little puzzling.

Shi An also stared at the bracelet and blinked.

Hmm... I don't understand.

The atmosphere was stagnant and heavy, and the flow of time seemed to slow down.

Finally, Mu Heng raised his eyelashes, took a deep look at Shi An, and said,

"It's alright."

He pressed the silver bracelet lightly on the surface, and with another "click", the bracelet opened.

Wen Yao's heart was slowly put down, and she breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.

——This is the first time she has seen Mu Heng use that bracelet, which seems to be a dangerous signal, but fortunately, everything is not abnormal.

Shi An chased the whereabouts of the bracelet with his eyes, and said reluctantly, "You want to take it away?"

Mu Heng paused.

He looked at the bright disappointment on the face of the young man in front of him, and slowly asked: "Otherwise?"

Shi An said lonely: "Won't you give it to me?"

"What did you say?" Shi Zechun's face changed, Eyeballs seemed to fly out of the eyeballs, but he was forced to be patient and said through gritted teeth:

"This kind of detection bracelet is expensive to manufacture, and only a few high-level officials of the Monster Management Bureau have it. How could it be given away casually?

" Ann: "...Oh."

He looked up at the man in front of him.

Mu Heng has been silent since just now, looking at him with a kind of thoughtful look.

The silver-blue light precipitated in the bottom of his eyes. In addition to the pure and gorgeous beauty, there was also a kind of ice and snow version of sharpness and coldness. The bracelet that looked bright and sparkling just now was in the opponent's hand, but it was a little bit pale.

Shi An thought for a while and asked, "What about you? Is it too expensive?" As soon as

his words came out, everyone gasped.

Shi Zechun: "..."

Grass.

He almost closed his eyes, and the whole person gasped.

"You want to buy me?"

Mu Heng ignored the crowd and looked straight at the young man beside him.

Wen Yao, who was standing beside her, looked terrified and in a trance, she could hardly believe her ears.

Shi An: "Actually..."

As long as the hair is fine -

Shi Zechun took a step forward in a frenzy, and explained to Mu Heng a little flustered:

"This... this, don't take it seriously, this child has just escaped danger, and his mind is not very clear..."

At this time , The old housekeeper also recovered from the state of extreme shock. His old face was pale, and he suddenly raised his hand to pull up the blanket that was covering Shi An's body, just covering Shi An's face.

Shi An, who was in total darkness in front of him: "..."

He stared blankly at the blanket in front of him, and fell into deep doubt - what's wrong?

Shi Zechun squeezed a smile on his face:

"This... I'm sorry..."

At this moment, a person conducting on-site inspection came to report to Mu Heng, he said a few words in a low voice, and then handed Mu Heng a parts of material.

Mu Heng took the material and flipped it over casually.

He turned his head, and finally looked deeply at the stern boy who was wrapped up and down, then raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Zechun, lightly interrupting the other party's incoherence,

"Don't worry about it." After

saying that, he agreed . Put on the materials, turn around and walk into the banquet hall.

Along the way, Shi An An absently listened to the housekeeper's nagging and exhorting.

He had absolutely no idea where he was going wrong.

Don't people nowadays like money? They were still fascinated tens of thousands of years ago.

If it wasn't for Shi An who hadn't recovered his body and strength now, where would he need to buy it, just grab it back!

After finally putting the other party aside, Shi An returned to his room.

The door was closed, blocking out the lights in the hallway.

Next, Shi An took a deep breath, and then slowly stepped back a few steps -

sprint!

Whoa!

He threw himself on the bed and rolled happily.

The place on the bed that was supposed to be soft bedding was piled high with shiny gold and silverware, large and small, as well as ornaments that had been forcibly ripped from the furniture walls.

They piled up on the bed, making a tinkling sound.

Shi An squinted his eyes contentedly and gathered his body in.

These were collected little by little in this villa after he became a human being called "Shi An", and it took him a long time to finally make a bed that he could sleep in.

It's a pity that this human body is too spoiled and fragile now, and Shi An can't maintain the way of releasing magic power all the time, so often when he wakes up, his body is covered with red marks.

Shi An was buried in his treasure pile and rolled for a while before finally remembering his purpose.

He sat up and took the human face bug out of his pocket.

Shi An poked the bug's stomach.

One of its thin legs kicked down, but it still maintained a posture of facing up to the sky, pretending to be dead very seriously.

A cluster of dragon flames rose from Shi'an's fingertips.

"...!!!" The worm no longer pretended to be dead, it jumped up suddenly and made a screaming scream.

Shi An smiled kindly and lowered his head and approached: "Wake up?" The

devil: "..."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !

The Monster Bureau is located in the center of the upper city, in a tall and solemn gray building.

As soon as Mu Heng walked into the building, he saw a researcher in a white coat running over out of breath:

"Mr. Mu..."

Mu Heng turned his head and looked over, the panicked look reflected in his quiet eyes, as if he was questioning silently.

The other party took a breath: "Mr. Zhuo explained to me that when you come back, I will call you over and say, there is something very important..."

Mu Heng thoughtfully, he nodded, and then turned to the research office. go in the direction.

Zhuo Fu was already waiting there.

He is the person in charge of the research institute, and is responsible for studying the weaknesses of monsters, monitoring the movements of monsters and unusual magic fluctuations.

At this moment, his cynical face was tense, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, almost eager to try.

"The analysis results of the magic fluctuations detected a while ago have just come out." Zhuo Fu took a deep breath and said slowly:

"—It's possible, it's possible that it's a fantasy species."

Mu Heng was startled.

Fantasy species, once at the top of all monsters.

They are powerful and terrifying, possessing wisdom and longevity that surpasses human beings, and once ruled the entire continent.

- and they have now disappeared for over 10,000 years.

Although there are rumors that the fantasy species are about to appear from time to time, but all rumors are just rumors, and no one has really seen those fantasy species that only exist in legends.

And Zhuo Fu is a big fan of fantasy species research.

He suddenly approached and said mysteriously, "Maybe it will be a dragon."

Mu Heng suddenly raised his eyes and looked over.

The silver-blue eyes showed a kind of steel-like gray, and the dark fire burned silently under the ice layer, revealing a strange concentration:

"Huh?"

Zhuo Fu shook his body and raised his hands in surrender:

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just joking..."

"The data is just a possibility, not to mention the ancient legend-level fantasy species like dragons, maybe there's nothing at all, just need to inform you."

Zhuo Fu winked at Mu Heng: "But it doesn't matter if it really appears, after all, it's not you."

——Mu Heng, the most powerful human being today, the youngest chief of the Monster Bureau.

It is also the only remaining bloodline of the noble dragon slayer.

Seeing that the expression of the man in front of him sank, Zhuo Fu coughed dryly, forcibly changed the subject, and tried to ease the atmosphere:

"By the way, that... I heard that you went to deal with the mission in Shangcheng? How is it? Are there any casualties? ?"

Mu Heng gave him a deep look.

Finally, before Zhuo Fu sweated on his forehead, he finally said mercifully, "No."

"Where's the monster sample?" Zhuo Fu asked naturally, "Did you send it to the laboratory?"

Mu Heng's eyes Squinting slightly, his pupils flashed a metallic steel blue, he said, "Escape."

Zhuo Fu was surprised: "How could a monster escape from under your eyelids?"

Mu Heng lifted his eyelids and glanced at the other party, too lazy to get in a word.

Zhuo Fu cleared his throat and continued to ask: "Have the residual magic power test results come out?"

Mu Heng: "No."

He paused and said, "However, I judge it to be an abyss seed."

Abyss seed? !

Zhuo Fu was taken aback.

He never thought of questioning Mu Heng's judgment. This person has never made any mistakes in magic detection so far.

Mu Heng narrowed his eyes: "The Abyss Seeds have appeared too frequently recently."

He glanced at Zhuo Fu, and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips: "Put your ethereal fantasy seed aside first, the abyss's movement is more urgent."

Zhuo Fu muttered, "The fantasy seed is not ethereal." Lei, reluctantly turned around, ready to devote himself to the research Mu Chen explained.

But before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Mu Heng:

"Wait."

Zhuo Fu turned his head in confusion: "Why?"

Mu Heng frowned slightly, and after a long time, he asked: "The one you designed Are you sure that there is no problem with that portable human body detection instrument?"

Zhuo Fu was greatly insulted, his brows raised: "What did you say? How is it possible! That is one of my hard work! It is absolutely impossible to go wrong!"

Mu Heng nodded . : "Got it."

After speaking, he turned and walked out.

Zhuo Fu realized that something was wrong and shouted: "What's wrong? What happened to you?"

Mu Heng didn't answer and walked straight out.

His eyes drooped slightly, and the long silver-white eyelashes imprinted a shallow shadow on the bottom of his eyes, making it more and more unpredictable, and strangers were never close.

--nothing.

It's just... his intuition seems to have gone wrong for the first time.

The demon worm shivered and shrank in the corner, looking at the "human" in front of him in horror.

He looks like an ordinary human being, he also has four limbs, a trunk and a head, and the scent on his body is completely human, but...

his gaze moved to the flames at Shi'an's fingertips.

The red flames were silently burning in the darkness, and just by watching, one could feel the terrifying high temperature escaping from it and a strong sense of oppression like burning all things.

Just a glance, it couldn't help trembling.

Even though he was very sure that his carapace could withstand most of the attacks of any human being, his instinctual fear screamed - he would be burned, he would definitely be burned!

However, this cluster of dangerous flames was being played with by the ordinary human boy in front of him.

It was rounded and flattened at Shi'an's fingertips, as gentle and docile as if it was just a ball of light.

"You... what are you?" The human face worm curled up and asked timidly.

Shi An blinked.

At this moment, the wind was blowing, and the silver-white moonlight swept through the window, illuminating the room suddenly.

The light swept across the boy's face and fell into the scarlet vertical pupils, looking cruel and strange. He raised his hand, and the fingertips were covered with a layer of hard and sharp scales, reflecting a cold metallic luster.

Shi An smiled and said, "Dragon." The

worm: "..."

It stared at the human's scarlet vertical pupil and sharp black scales and claws.

- Immediately afterwards, it kicked its six legs and fainted again.
