#639 - Take a bite
When Lu Jing returned to the antique shop where Supervisor Luo was hiding, Qi Wenren was just eating his sixteenth jujube cake.
In just half a day, Qi Wenren seemed to have gained a full circle, having gone from being thin and tall to slightly chubby.
And this was the result after controlling his diet.
Before leaving, Lu Jing had specifically instructed Supervisor Luo and his daughter to give Qi Wenren food in batches at fixed times, so that he wouldn't finish it all at once, and wouldn't go too long without anything to eat.
So now Qi Wenren no longer ate the jujube cakes one bite at a time; he slowed down his chewing speed, trying to keep the jujube cake in his mouth for a longer period of time, and he didn't waste the jujube pits, chewing them up and swallowing them into his stomach.
But even so, he could still feel a strong sense of hunger, always lingering in his heart.
As a result, Luo Yingying noticed that Qi Wenren's gaze towards her and her father was gradually becoming strange.
This made the young girl a little nervous.
Although Qi Wenren wasn't a very powerful expert, Supervisor Luo and his daughter were even more ordinary; both were just ordinary people, and if Qi Wenren really had his heart set on doing something to them, they really couldn't stop him.
Fortunately, just at this moment, Lu Jing finally returned, and he also brought back a large box.
After entering the house, Lu Jing opened the box, and Luo Yingying was surprised to find that there was a person hidden inside, and it was someone she had seen before.
The little Aku Man who was with Tuo Le.
However, this time he was tightly bound by iron chains, and he looked incredibly weak, with red eyes, as if he had just cried.
On the other side, Qi Wenren also eagerly came over, but when he saw that there was a person inside, he sat back down with a disappointed look.
"Why didn't you bring back food when you went out?"
"You've already eaten enough, now it's time to digest properly," Lu Jing said.
"Not enough, not enough, my stomach is still terribly hungry, I can swallow a whole cow right now," Qi Wenren said, licking his lips.
Lu Jing ignored him, and lifted the little Aku Man out of the box with one hand.
Then he said to Supervisor Luo and his daughter, "Can you lend us this room for a while?"
Luo Yingying originally wanted to try to ask if she could stay, after all, she was also very curious about what Lu Jing was going to do with the little Aku Man, but Supervisor Luo had already read the situation and pulled his daughter up, saying, "Please, you two."
After Supervisor Luo and his daughter left the room, Lu Jing looked at Qi Wenren again, seeing that the latter was also looking at him expectantly.
"It's time to give out jujube cakes," Qi Wenren reminded.
"There are no jujube cakes, why don't you try biting him," Lu Jing threw the little Aku Man in front of Qi Wenren.
However, the strong sense of hunger in his stomach drove him to want to frantically swallow everything in front of him that could be swallowed.
So Qi Wenren stared at the little Aku Man with red eyes, panting heavily, caught in a battle between heaven and man.
Until he heard Lu Jing speak again, "What are you doing, quickly bite him, just a small bite, and see if your binge eating can be cured."
"Uh… I don't think I'll stop feeling hungry after eating a person," Qi Wenren said with difficulty, swallowing his saliva.
"He's not an ordinary person, he's the culprit who caused you to become like this, when he gets completely hungry, he won't be like this anymore."
"What?" Qi Wenren was shocked, "Isn't he Tuo Le's disciple, how could he become a strange creature, does Tuo Le know about this?"
"In fact, Tuo Le is the main culprit, he joined forces with Bu Bule to plan this matter together, this child is at most just a tool in his hands."
Lu Jing paused, and then continued, "I even suspect that he deliberately allowed his disciple to be possessed by that strange creature, in order to use the power of that strange creature."
"That bastard!" Qi Wenren was furious when he heard this, "Where is he?"
"I've already killed him."
Lu Jing said, "I originally wanted to ask him how to restore you, but unfortunately he stubbornly refused to speak, so next we can only try it ourselves, you should bite this child first, and see if his blood can eliminate the effect on you."
Qi Wenren's worries were slightly reduced when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment, put his mouth to one of the little Aku Man's arms, and tried several times, but couldn't bring himself to bite down.
In the end, Lu Jing couldn't bear to watch any longer, and gently cut the little Aku Man's arm with a flying sword, and then let Qi Wenren come over and suck a mouthful.
Qi Wenren had originally decided to just lick it lightly, but when the blood flowed into his mouth, he couldn't help but greedily suck it up.
Seeing this, Lu Jing had to use a little internal force to shake Qi Wenren's mouth away from the little Aku Man's arm.
Then Lu Jing asked Qi Wenren again, "How do you feel now?"
"I still want another jujube cake," Qi Wenren said truthfully.
"… … … …"
"Then it didn't work," Lu Jing was a little disappointed, but not too surprised.
The effects of strange creatures in this world vary, and the mechanisms of action are also different, especially if you want to undo the effects, it is even more difficult.
The two then tried some other methods, but unfortunately none of them worked.
Seeing this, Qi Wenren instead comforted Lu Jing, "It's okay, at least the thing has been found, next you can send me back to the Si Tian Jian, there are people there who specialize in dealing with this kind of thing, they should have a way… it's just the matter of finding the fish, we can only put it aside for now."
Lu Jing thought for a while and said, "Then let's try one last time, I'll see if I can unravel the obsession on this strange creature, so as long as it's not a third-class strange creature, the effects it causes will disappear."
"Do you know what its obsession is?"
"I don't know, so I plan to ask it," Lu Jing said as he reached out and knocked the little Aku Man unconscious.
After waiting for about half an hour, the little Aku Man's body finally began to change, the horns on his head grew out again, and the human face on his lower abdomen reappeared.
However, the two people in front of him had seen too many strange things, and were not frightened by this scene.
Qi Wenren even ate his twenty-seventh jujube cake.
But soon, his chewing stopped, because he saw that the face that seemed extremely hungry was actually gnawing on the chains on his body, and it had actually gnawed off a small piece.
