Chapter 237: The Infection Started?!

At this moment, she wore her standard uniform. The curvature of her chest was suffocating.
Even the male members of the demon-hunting squads would secretly exclaim when they saw her.
It was huge!
“Miss Shishi, you are too tempting.”
“If it weren’t for the protection of the civilian staff by the Demon Hunters Center, I would bring her back and make her call me master!”
“I also want to bring her back to practice my skills!”
Without a doubt, Xia Shishi could be considered a stunning woman.
“Perhaps her talent was to seduce men?” An Awakened once said so.
At this moment, Xia Shishi slightly raised her chin.
“Gentlemen, don’t look around inappropriately!”
As she spoke, she covered her chest. “I’m just a staff member. Don’t lust after me.”
Her words and actions were simply adding fuel to the fire.
The male Awakened watched with boiling blood.
Even at the side, an Alp-level demon-hunting squad member was slightly tempted.
He was an Awakened who had retired from the Dragnet Dragon demon-hunting squad after being gravely injured.
He wandered around the Mission Center every day, trying to talk to Xia Shishi and bring her home.
However, Xia Shishi’s target was not him. She wanted a healthy member of an Alp-level demon-hunting squad.
Therefore, she politely brushed him off for some time.
Then, she ignored him.
After half an hour of work, a demon-hunting squad walked into the Mission Center in high spirits.
“We’ve come to hand in our mission, an Alp level high-class mission!”
“Liu Ying, hand it in. Haven’t you always liked Xia Shishi? Xia Shishi also has feelings for you. Come! Come and talk!”
The squad captain laughed loudly andpushed a thin and weak young man in front of Xia Shishi.
The young man, Liu Ying, was so ashamed that his face turned red.
“Captain… Captain… I’m not… Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Haha!”
“You little brat, you’re lecherous but have no guts?!”
“I remember when you were talking in your sleep in the wilderness. It was always Miss Shishi!”
The members of the God Imposter demon-hunting squad laughed together.
Liu Ying’s face flushed red. He did not dare to look at Xia Shishi.
Xia Shishi also had a shy look on her face.
“Well, both of them are blushing. It seems that the two of you have a crush on each other. Why don’t you get to know each other and go on a date tonight?”
Xia Shishi lowered her eyes. Her blushing face was particularly attractive.
When Liu Ying sneaked a quick glance, he only felt that she was absolutely stunning.
“Ha…” Lin Qiye laughed andsuddenly sat up straight.
Just now, he saw a strange look flashing past Xia Shishi’s eyes.
Her shyness was not real, but her acting skills were so superb that her feelings could be mistaken for the real thing.
She could deceive everyone but Lin Qiye.
“It’s you. It seems you’re getting restless and can’t help but reveal a little flaw.
“However, I’m afraid no one else will be able to detect it except for my intuition.” Lin Qiye chuckled.
In the surveillance, Xia Shishi was extremely shy.
However, under the instigation of the squad members, she exchanged contact information with Liu Ying.
“Get along well. Our squad needs to rest for three months. You must hurry up!”
“Liu Ying, do you understand?”
“Your brothers and sisters have arranged your marriage. It is to prevent you from saying that you haven’t even touched a woman and left a child behind every time you encounter danger.”
“This time, we’ll let you enjoy it for a few months!”
“However, don’t let down your awareness. You still have to maintain your combat state!” The captain said seriously.
Liu Ying quickly nodded.
Seeing Liu Ying’s shy but expectant look, his squad members snickered.
They didn’t realize Xia Shishi was a demon with a perfect disguise.
Only Lin Qiye, controlling the surveillance,silently watched everything.
“I see. It first infected a beautiful woman, then made use of her physical advantages and natural weaknesses to make the Awakened relax their vigilance. Then, she could infect the Awakened members of the squad secretly. How smart…
“Xia Shishi is indeed the perfect patient zero. She can collect information, get in touch with the demon-hunting squads and the Awakened, and pick a target at will.
“She can even carry out confusing actions, such as infecting the Awakened in the east, west, south, and north cities respectively. This way, even if she was exposed, the investigators could not find any clues.
“The untraceable infections can quickly multiply from one to two; to two to four. Then, the top forces in Jiang City will quickly collapse.
“Ha… What a good plan!”
Lin Qiye saw through the Scale-skinned Demon’s plan. He could not help but laugh coldly.
At the same time, he silently activated the Deduction of Genesis and deduced its identity.
[This deduction will cost 20,000 movement points. You will have 1,980,000 points remaining.]
[The deduction is successful. The Mission Center’s receptionist, Xia Shishi, has been infected by the Scale-skinned Demon. Her strength is equivalent to the Embodier Realm.]
Embodier Realm?
Lin Qiye frowned.
He had wanted to find an opportunity to kill Xia Shishi, but he did not expect her strength to be different from what was recorded.
The Embodier Realm was roughly equivalent to an SSS-Grade talent developed to 80%.
At present, his talent was only developed to 60%. Although Lin Qiye has a card that can increase his development level by 10%, he must reach 70% before he can use it to crush Xia Shishi.
“I must hurry!”
Having confirmed the source of the infection and the patient zero, Lin Qiye did not dare to delay. He immediately turned around and devoted himself to training his talent.
Liu Ying and the others did not accept any more missions.
Therefore, every day that followed, there was a possibility that Liu Ying would be infected.
In short, there was not much time left for him.
Lin Qiye became anxious.
Ten days later, his talent development rate reached 65%.
At this time, Lin Qiye received a message through all kinds of information and clues.
The Scale-skinned Demon was going to make a move.
They booked a hotel room today!
Lin Qiye’s eyebrows jumped. “It’s going to make a move, isn’t it?”
His expression was gloomy. It seemed that tonight was the unfortunate guy’s death day.
The moment Liu Ying was infected, Lin Qiye would have no way to stop the development of this matter.
It was because the God Imposter demon-hunting squad was the personal guards of Jiang City’s commander.
After they were infected, the commander would not be able to escape the same fate.
What should he do?
Report it to the commander?
In his eyes, Lin Qiye was nobody. His words held no weight, so how could he be trusted?
Should he tell his parents and let them spread the news through the Shanhai demon-hunting squad?
It wouldn’t work.
After all, the God Imposter demon-hunting squad had always been loyal to the commander. The commander definitely wouldn’t investigate and alienate them because of a few simple words.
However, the matter had already reached the point of urgency.
If he didn’t stop Liu Ying before he was infected, his life would be as good as gone!
After thinking for a while, Lin Qiye could not think of anything. He could only brace himself and prepare to take the risk at night to solve it personally.
However, he knew that Xia Shishi was not the only one he had to face this time. Liu Ying, who did not know the truth, would also attack him.
His talent development rate was only 65% now. Even after using the card, it was only 75%. It was tough to deal with one person. He couldn’t hold off two people on his own!
In the research room, Lin Qiye sat in front of the laptop and racked his brains, trying his best to think of every possible method that would be effective.
Lin Qiye unconsciously swiped the mouse. When he clicked on a document, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
A ray of light appeared in his eyes. “Maybe there is a way?”
Looking at the document, Lin Qiye’s face gradually showed a hint of a smile. He is going to make use of Jiang City’s commander.
“I’ll just use him. It’s quite worth it to hurt his feelings to save Jiang City…”
Lin Qiye’s lips curled up into a wicked smile.
