Chapter 164 Leopard Movie King 10
At this moment, the activities arranged by the director team had ended, and Xie Qi returned to the room assigned to him by the program team. After Xie Qi came in, he threw himself onto the bed.
Countless doubts and anxieties surged in his heart. He began to reflect on himself, wondering if he had not done well enough in some aspect, or if his confession was too direct, which made Xiao Ze feel disgusted with him.
Otherwise, why didn't Xiao Ze say either "agree" or "reject" after hearing his confession? He just accepted the flowers he gave him, said thank you, and didn't say anything else.
During the subsequent picnic, although Xie Qi kept sticking to Xiao Ze and showing his courtesy, Xiao Ze treated him like a junior.
The more he thought about it, the more pessimistic Xie Qi became. He rolled over on the bed, pounding it in frustration, and kept shouting in his heart: "It's over, was I too frivolous and now I'm hated..."
However, at this time, 948 said leisurely: "Host, you seem to have forgotten the current identity of the male protagonist."
"What identity?"
"The Supervisory Bureau's top-ranked monster catcher. Although you're half-demon and your demonic aura is very faint, powerful monsters and those with strong abilities in the Supervisory Bureau can still smell it. Besides, you don't have a monster license, so it's a good thing the hero didn't catch you, an illegal monster, right away."
Xie Qi was stunned when he heard what 948 said. He smelled his arm, but didn't smell any other smell.
And how did Xiao Ze know that he didn't have a monster certificate? Xie Qi was so confused that he asked.
Hearing Xie Qi's doubts, 948 explained: "A monster certificate is different from a human's paper certificate. It is a contract given by the Monster King of the Monster Realm to the Supervisory Bureau to manage monsters in the human world."
"Simply put, a monster certificate is a formation totem imprinted on a monster. As long as a monster has this formation totem, the Supervisory Bureau and other monsters will know whether the monster is legal as soon as they get close. Otherwise, you think the Supervisory Bureau will ask, 'Hey, do you have a certificate?' before catching a monster? Wouldn't that mean the evil monster will run away before they even ask."
However, after Xie Qi heard what 948 said, his originally confused heart suddenly became clear. He finally understood the deep meaning contained in Xiao Ze's slightly scrutinizing gaze when he looked at him before.
At this moment, Xie Qi's heart was like a bottle of five flavors overturned, with all kinds of flavors intertwined together, extremely complicated.
He kept comforting himself in his heart. It seemed that his wife still treated him differently. She knew that he was an illegal monster, but she didn't expose him. He still had a chance.
However, the next second, 948 dropped a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue: "Oops, host, I'm sorry, there's one crucial thing I forgot to tell you! The male protagonist has a deep hatred for those evil monsters who commit many evil deeds! Um... that's illegal monsters like you who don't have a monster certificate."
At this moment, Xie Qi was completely stunned, a bitter smile on his face. 948 was truly unreliable and deceptive. He hadn't told him such an important thing earlier.
Moreover, the murder of the original owner's parents happened quite a long time ago, and it is almost impossible to trace the truth of the incident.
Even if he went to the Supervisory Bureau to explain his true situation now, I'm afraid there would be very few people who would believe what he said.
Because Xie Qi couldn't produce any evidence to prove his half-demon identity, or even that he was the son of the victim from that incident, he might be directly considered a demon who had sneaked into the human world by the Supervisory Bureau. He would be sent back to the demon world.
Finally, Xie Qi lay in bed for a long time before he finally came up with a solution. After all, he couldn't avoid being close to Xiao Ze during the next shoot, so Xie Qi exchanged a bottle of medicine from 948 that could completely cover up the demonic energy. It was as if he was just an ordinary human being.
At this moment, Xiao Ze, who lived next door to Xie Qi, was sitting on the sofa in a bathrobe. He opened the bouquet of roses that Xie Qi had given him on the coffee table.
He then reached out and pulled a rose from the bouquet, carefully examining its velvety petals. He then picked up the scissors beside him and meticulously trimmed the flower branches, each stroke carrying the tenderness and cherishment from the depths of his heart.
Xiao Ze patiently repeated this action one by one until all the roses were trimmed to perfection. Then, he picked up a light blue transparent vase next to him and inserted the carefully processed roses into the vase one by one.
After finishing the flower arrangement, Xiao Ze quietly stared at the vase of beautiful flowers in front of him, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroke one of the petals, feeling the delicate texture. Gradually, his fingers began to apply a little force, kneading the petals.
It wasn't until Xiao Ze's index finger and thumb were gradually stained with a faint crimson, as if the color of flower petals had seeped into his skin, that he came back to his senses as if waking from a dream and slowly released the flower petals in his hand.
Xiao Ze stood up and walked to the bathroom where there was no camera installed. Then he picked up the mobile phone on the sink and called someone.
Soon a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Captain? Aren't you recording a show? Why are you calling me so late?"
"Help me find a person...a demon."
"Who?"
"Xie Qi, the artist signed by Xingyao Entertainment two years ago."
"Hey? Isn't this the 18th-tier celebrity who recorded the show with you, Captain? What's wrong?"
"You check first, how long will it take to find out?"
"It won't take long. The captain gave very specific information, and he's a celebrity now. A simple online search will reveal it."
In less than ten minutes, the other party had found all of Xie Qi's information.
"There's nothing wrong with the captain. He's been living with his grandfather since he was a child. When he was seventeen, his grandfather was diagnosed with early-stage cancer. Xie Qi agreed to sign with Xingyao to raise enough money for his grandfather's medical expenses. Later, his grandfather recovered from the cancer in a timely manner and was discharged from the hospital within a year. However, his contract with Xingyao still expires in three years. He has been scandal-free since his debut and is very dedicated. There's nothing wrong with him."
However, after hearing this, Xiao Ze frowned slightly. Although he was moved at the first sight of Xie Qi, his heart instantly calmed down when the other party approached, because he smelled a faint demonic aura on Xie Qi.
"Humanity?"
"Huh? Oh, that's right, Captain. He has a human ID card, so he is indeed a human."
After all, the monsters who sneaked in can only be illegal immigrants, and these monsters don’t have human ID cards.
"Check the Supervisory Bureau's records to see if he's the suspect."
When the other party heard what Xiao Ze said, although he didn't understand why the captain wanted to investigate a human being, he immediately controlled the computer and started searching the Supervisory Bureau's database.
After a while, the other party said, "Captain, there is no such person... Um... Captain, do you doubt his identity? Do we need to send out a reconnaissance team?"
"No, that's all."
After Xiao Ze finished his last sentence, he hung up the phone. He frowned, thinking to himself, "I can't even find this person in the archives. Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment?" Thinking of this, Xiao Ze couldn't help but begin to doubt his previous conclusion.
Especially when he recalled the faint and not strong demonic aura on Xie Qi, this suspicion became stronger.
It seems that I must observe the other person carefully tomorrow. If I accidentally make a mistake, it doesn't matter. I don't mind having a relationship with Xie Qi.
However, if the other party really has some ulterior motive, then I probably can't just sit back and watch.
At worst, I could just keep him captive. After all, this was the first time I'd been so moved by someone. It didn't matter if he was human or not.
Even if it's a vicious monster, so what? I have plenty of ways to slowly train it into a docile and well-behaved house monster, and it will only be my pet from now on.
