Chapter 13: The Exposed Beast
The dinner was held in a plaza on Meteor Street, and was attended by twenty recruits from Meteor Street who had already been selected, as well as three additional girls with medical talents, who would join the Warsong Legion's medical class. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Avril was lucky enough to be chosen.
Mr. Ray presided over the dinner and spoke separately to Captain Clin, who was in charge of the recruit selection.
In fact, although these clichΓ©s sound boring, they are still very inspiring and shocking to these ambitious and enthusiastic young people on Meteor Street.
After all, all they hear on a daily basis is rebuke and insults from discipline.
The delicacies were brought to the banquet by the waiters in turn, and the dust hid in the back kitchen, peeking outside.
According to the plan he had made with the girl in white before, Liuchen this time replaced all the rabbit meat in the dishes of the four suspects he had set for high magic value with bald wolf meat, if everything went well, then it would not be long before the demonic beast hiding among the four recruits would be exposed.
The dinner party was full of laughter and laughter, and Liuchen carefully observed the four suspects, and similarly, around the square, those legionnaires who had already received the news had already lined up in the corners and were ready to deal with the emergency.
The girl in white sat at the officers' banquet, and her mind was obviously no longer on wine and meat, and her pretty face was even more cold in the noisy argument between Mr. Ray and Klin.
Just as Liuchen was nervously observing the banquet, he suddenly felt something heavy slap on him, Liuchen jumped, and turned back suddenly, only to find that Ali had slipped into the back kitchen at some point, holding a piece of seafood pizza with one claw, and the other claw on his back.
"Liuchen, why are you here?" Ali said in surprise.
"Well, you're still knowingly asking, I'm assigned to help with the cook?" Liuchen shrugged helplessly.
Ali took a bite of the pizza and said angrily:
"Hey, these turtle grandsons, it's too inauthentic! It's okay if you don't choose you, such a welcome dinner, even asked you to come over to help cook, isn't this fucking mean to be angry with you?"
Liuchen smiled bitterly and waved his hand:
"It's okay, it's okay, maybe people are kind, maybe they want me to rub some delicious food, besides, I'm quite happy to come, isn't this much lighter than collecting magic crystals?"
Alinunu mouthed and said disdainfully:
"Cut, you, you just always think so well of others!"
"Hey, why are you in the back kitchen if you have nothing to do?" asked Liuchen.
"Well, I just found out that this seafood pizza is good, my table has been eaten, so I came to the back kitchen to take a look, hehe, I didn't expect there to be so many left, come, you can also taste it......"
Ali handed a piece to Liuchen, who held it in his mouth, but his mind was not on the deliciousness of the pizza at all.
Ali was feasting on the sidelines while Liuchen continued to observe the situation outside, when suddenly, a scream came from a banquet.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the scream, and it turned out that it was Xiao Duo, who had the most doubts, who was the first to faint!
"Damn, what's wrong with this guy!" Ali was surprised and leaned over with a pizza in his mouth.
Liuchen frowned and muttered:
"I don't know, I seem to have fainted. β
"I'll have to take a look. β
Ali swallowed the pizza in his mouth, got up and was about to leave, but Liuchen grabbed him.
"Wait a minute! β
"For ...... Why? This comrade-in-arms is unconscious, and I can't go and see what's wrong with him?"
Liuchen secretly thought in his heart, although this Xiaoduo fainted, he couldn't completely rule out the possibility that he was a monster, and he still didn't want his friends to be in danger.
Sure enough, as Xiaoduo fainted, one after another, Red K and Sarojia also fell to the ground in turn, only Mu Li was alone, safe and sound, and even continued to eat without changing his face, not caring about the lives of others at all.
When this happened, the girl in white, Captain Klin, and others also ran to the side of these fallen teenagers as a matter of course, and according to the instructions of the girl in white, the other five soldiers had quickly surrounded Mu Li.
"What's wrong with these kids?" asked Captain Klin.
The girl in white leaned down, the green magic power surrounded her hand, and everywhere this fresh magic went, it stirred up bursts of swirling turbulence to varying degrees, and the girl in white observed the turbulence and said to the people in the medical class:
"It's okay, these three kids just ate high-magic food, and they are a little uncomfortable, just send them to the rest room to recuperate! β
"Okay!" the medical team received the order and immediately carried the three teenagers away on stretchers.
It was confirmed that the three teenagers had indeed fainted due to excessive magic in the food, and the biggest suspect had been locked.
Needless to say, Mu Li, who was completely unresponsive, obviously had a different physique from the residents of Meteor Street.
The girl in white turned around and shouted to Mu Li, who was still eating and drinking:
"Arrest him. β
Mu Li felt a little surprised, wiped the food scraps on his mouth, and muttered:
"Why did you arrest me?"
Captain Kling also walked over and pulled out his black iron ruler, black lightning crackling on the ruler.
"Your performance is really good, but it's a pity that today's dinner party was originally a trap set to catch you, but I didn't expect you to really show your feet. β
Ali, who was hiding in the back kitchen tent, had already seen it, and asked in surprise:
"Hey, Dust, what the hell is going on?"
Liuchen smiled and said:
"Don't worry, you'll find out later. β
Mu Li frowned slightly and stood up, still in the same state as in the previous tryouts, looking like he had not entered the battle state, but he looked full of confidence.
"Everyone be careful, the captains evacuate unrelated personnel and leave the square, and catch this guy first!" ordered the girl in white.
After hearing the order of the girl in white, the five wolf-patterned soldiers around Mu Li rushed towards Mu Li at the same time, the weapons used by these five demon warriors were all long swords of similar specifications, and Mu Li was surrounded in the middle.
In the face of such a fierce offensive, it can be said that they can only be captured, and there is absolutely no possibility of escape, and the surrounding area of the venue is also surrounded by other soldiers, and those panicked recruits, some of whom fled the square, and some are still watching the excitement from a distance.
Liuchen and Ali were also kicked out, but as the mastermind of this capture plan, Liuchen still wanted to see the final result with his own eyes, and to be honest, he also wanted to see what this demonic beast that could disguise itself as a human form looked like.
So, after he and Ali fled the square, they continued to watch the situation inside from the high slope in the distance.
Sure enough, this Mu Li's strength is far more than what he performs in the ring.
When the long swords of the five wolf-patterned warriors were still half a meter away from Mu Li, they suddenly let out a miserable scream, and at the same time let go of the long sword in their hands, and then spasmed all over, pinching their necks in pain.
"I don't want to hurt them, you must be mistaken!" Mu Li said calmly.
Seeing that his team members were knocked down, the captains of these five people rushed over.
"Bastard, you're still stubborn at this time! Look at me if I don't kill you today!"
The captain used a wind-based enhanced magic, condensing the whirlwind's fist and slamming it into Mu Li.
However, although this punch directly lifted Mu Li away, the captain actually fell to the ground with his neck pinched like several of his team members, and his mouth was still scolding.
Mu Li stood up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned to run.
However, the girl in white had somehow blocked his way, and Captain Kling had already rushed behind him.
"Lightning Cage!"
Captain Kling shouted loudly and pronounced the incantation, and the serpentine pattern behind him flashed with green light, and several bolts of lightning fell from the sky and smashed to the ground, forming a cage of lightning flashing, locking Mu Li inside.
Mu Li hit the surface of the lightning cage, and was immediately swept through his body by this strong electric current, and his hair was stirred.
"Let me out!" Mulley shouted hoarsely.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to be able to spell illusions, no wonder I can simulate a human form so realistically!" Kling muttered.
Several soldiers ran over one after another, holding the lightning cage with their spears, and dragged Mu Li away.
The flowing dust on the high slope and Ali sighed, and Ali was surprised:
"Damn, what's the fuck going on, why is this Mu Li still fighting with the people in the corps?"
Liuchen sat in the ruins, but the expression on his face was not relaxed.
"This guy is a demonic beast that has infiltrated the army, do you remember? I asked you to help me observe this guy named Mu Li more yesterday, and at that time, I already suspected that he was the demonic beast!"
"Ahh
"That's right, in fact, I didn't lose the selection in the first place, but Captain Kling of the Warsong Legion wanted me to carry out a special mission, so I deliberately acted in such a play. And this special task is to ask me to help them find a monster who wants to infiltrate the Warsong Legion, who can disguise himself as a resident of Meteor Street and complete the tryout. Because I knew the residents of Meteor Street better, and I was the only one Captain Kling believed that it would never be a Warcraft, I accepted this task!"
Ali was even more surprised, patted Liuchen with his big claw, and said:
"I'll go, buddy, you can, I'll just say that they can't let people like you go, so you're on a special mission! So, those people who fainted because they ate high-mana food just now are also the objects of your suspicion?"
Flowing Dust nodded:
"Well, that's it, you know, the orphans of our Meteor Street usually can't eat food with high mana value at all, and their bodies can't adapt to this kind of power, so once they eat it by mistake, they will pass out. β
After hearing this, Ali couldn't help laughing:
"Hahaha, Liuchen, you are so smart, this method is really amazing! Even that demonic beast must not know how he was discovered in the end! This time you have really made a great contribution! I just said, if they don't choose you, then you are blind!"
However, Liuchen kept his face calm, took a few steps back, and touched the diamond on the surface of the Battle Song badge with his hand.
"Well, it's not that they're blind, it's that I'm blind, and it took me so long to see that this demonic beast turned out to be not Mu Li!"
"It's not Mu Li, who else could it be? Could it be that they caught it wrong?" Ali was surprised.
"This monster ...... It's my most trusted friend!" Liuchen muttered back.
Ali's smile froze.
