Jinghua City, Special Affairs Bureau Headquarters.
Li Liangcai and Yin Qiang sat in the office, watching the video report sent back by Qin Peirou.
Li Liangcai sat in the middle of the reception table, while Yin Qiang sat on his right. His legs were closed, and his buttocks were slightly raised. His expression was respectful and solemn.
On the white wall opposite them, a two-meter square virtual screen was playing a video.
In the video, Yang Fan was leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was talking about his apocalyptic theory, the attraction of Transcendental Martial Artists to Demon Beasts, and the possibility that ordinary people would become elixirs and rations in the eyes of Demon Beasts in the future.
Behind Yang Fan, Zhu Caiwei, Yang Guo, and the screaming Floret cat on the balcony were all in the video.
Next to the video, there was an investigation report written by Qin Peirou herself. There were many examples in it, which seemed to confirm Yang Fan's apocalyptic theory.
Soon, the video finished playing, and the screen finally stopped on the little kitten on the balcony.
Li Liangcai picked up the steaming teacup on the table. His eyes were still focused on the screen. He asked Yin Qiang beside him, "Yin Qiang, what do you think about Peirou's report?"
Yin Qiang straightened his body and smiled. He pointed at the Floret cat on the screen and said, "I think this cat is very interesting. Just now, I actually felt a trace of a tiger's might from it. If it wasn't for the fact that it kept meowing, I would've thought it was a little tiger cub that hadn't grown up yet."
Li Liangcai shook his head slightly. This Yin Qiang still liked to leave half of what he said unfinished. He had clearly seen through the clues, but he wasn't willing to say it out loud.
"Meowing doesn't mean it's a real cat." Li Liangcai said, "In the video that Peirou sent back last time, there was a Dahei dog that kept calling out 'Daddy'. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, who would believe it?"
"Even dogs can change their habit of barking. It's not surprising that a tiger can learn a few cat calls."
Yin Qiang smiled and nodded respectfully. "Chief, you have sharp eyes. I only think that it looks like a tiger. I'm not as sure as you are."
"You!" Li Liangcai turned his head to look at him. He shook his head and chuckled, not saying anything more.
Everyone had their own way of doing things. Although Li Liangcai did not agree, he would not deliberately make others change.
"This tiger is not simple."
Li Liangcai's gaze once again shifted to the little tabby cat. His brows furrowed slightly. "It's very different from all the monsters we've encountered before. In its eyes, there's a spiritual light flickering. It's very human-like. Although it can't speak, its expression can already express its meaning clearly. It looks no different from a normal human."
When Floret the cat first appeared on camera, it looked at Qin Peirou and the others with disdain and contempt. It was all recorded by Qin Peirou.
"Chief is right," Yin Qiang added. "The monsters we've encountered before, even if they were great monsters in the transformation stage, although they had a certain level of intelligence, it was only some fox-like cleverness. It was difficult for them to break away from the category of wild beasts. They were not even a year old human child."
"And this tiger demon not only has an extremely human-like expression, but it is also extremely cautious. It can even do something like turning off the surveillance. Its intelligence level is indeed not much different from a normal adult human."
"If Chief Qin is not lying, or if there are no auditory hallucinations, this tiger demon seems to be able to communicate with people through telepathy. It's really unbelievable."
No wonder Qin Peirou would activate the S-level confidential channel to transmit this investigation report. The content was really too shocking. It completely subverted their previous understanding of monsters.
Among the demonic beasts, there was actually such an intelligent existence. How many of these demonic beasts were there?
Li Liangcai looked back at Yin Qiang again. It seemed that this Minister Yin had also seen that this tiger demon had reached the transformation stage. The Floret the cat's form in the video was just a deliberate disguise.
This tiger's original form would definitely not be as charmingly naive as it was now.
"Actually, there's nothing surprising about this." Li Liangcai said indifferently, "In the past two years, we've seen countless incredible things. This one won't make a difference."
"After a monster's strength evolves to a certain level, it can even have the ability to transform its body, which only exists in legends. It's actually not strange that it has intelligence and can speak human language."
In the legends of Huaxia, there were countless monsters in the wild. There were many stories of monsters transforming and blending into the human world. Su Daji, human-snake love, and even Nuwa had a human head and a snake body. It was not strange at all.
Now, it was just those stories in the legends that were reappearing bit by bit in the real world.
"Actually, I'm more interested in this young man, Yang Fan." Li Liangcai narrowed his eyes and glanced at the investigation report on Yang Fan on the screen.
"An ordinary person who just awakened five days ago can actually easily subdue a powerful monster in the transformation stage. How did he do it?"
"Also, ever since Peirou met him for the first time, she kept saying good things about him. She said that he's patriotic, that he's extraordinarily upright, and that he's already broken away from the taste of cheap food. Don't you think that's very unusual?"
"You know Peirou's personality. She's kind on the outside but cold on the inside. No matter how beautiful her smile is, it can't hide the hatred she has for all men in her bones. Let alone you and me, even her own father has never been nice to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been single all her life and still not have a family."
"Tell me, how can such a Peirou have such a huge change in her attitude towards an outsider she's only met once? This is very unusual. "
Li Liangcai's fingers lightly tapped on the table. His gaze was fixed on the photo of Yang Fan smiling brilliantly.
Yin Qiang nodded and said, "Chief is right. This is indeed not in line with Division Chief Qin's usual style of doing things. Chief suspects that Division Chief Qin fell into Yang Fan's trap and was hypnotized without knowing it? "
Li Liangcai said, "It's not impossible."
"But Division Chief Qin is best at hypnotism. She also has a talisman treasure protecting her. Even a world-class hypnotist would find it difficult to hypnotize her. Can this Yang Fan really do it?" Yin Qiang was a little uncertain.
"Why not?" Li Liangcai said indifferently, "He can even tame a monster in the transformation stage. How can Peirou's strength be stronger than a monster in the transformation stage? Don't forget, other than having the strength of a monster in the transformation stage, this Tiger Demon is also extremely good at psychic abilities. Its overall strength is not much worse than yours. "
Yin Qiang nodded in agreement. Psychic abilities were indeed very difficult to deal with. If one's willpower was not strong enough, they would be taken advantage of. It was impossible to guard against.
In the video, other than Qin Peirou, the remaining three Xiantian martial artists were almost instantly controlled by the Tiger Demon. It was enough to show the strength of this Tiger Demon's psychic ability.
"Fortunately, this young man doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards our Special Bureau. Not only did he pass on several superior martial arts techniques to us through Peirou, he also conveniently joined the Special Bureau. Now, he is intentionally or unintentionally warning us, indicating that we should always be on the lookout for any changes in the monster."
"He seems to be preaching some apocalyptic theory. In fact, you and I can both see that his fear of the apocalypse is far greater than that of us who often deal with monsters. He is trying to stop all of this from happening."
"Although this young man is a little overly nervous, his nature is still good. We can work hard to win him over."
"As for what he said about monsters devouring ordinary people, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The weak are prey to the strong. This is the basic law of nature. If those monsters want to eat humans and want to borrow human flesh and blood to evolve, they will have to see if they have such good teeth!"
Yin Qiang asked softly, "Then, how does Chief plan to deal with this matter?"
"Simple." Li Liangcai said firmly, "Call An Le now and have him personally go to Chengdu to undo the psychic shackles on Peirou. At the same time, invite this Yang Fan and his Floret cat to Beijing."
"There are some things that I want to confirm with him in person."
