Bai Yu said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to go back like this as an official."
"What's wrong?"
The tiger was full of confidence, "My secret method of evildoers, even ordinary demon slayers can't detect the flaws."
It seems that the tiger is not very smart... Bai Yu explained, "Your Majesty, if you take the official servant away and return the official servant intact, you will definitely arouse suspicion!"
Tiger frowned, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Bai Yu made some suggestions, "I can think of only three ways."
"Method one is to erase the memory of all the government officials and prisoners. Naturally, no one will know about the abnormality of the officials."
"Method two, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. I will disguise myself as an official and run away. You chase me and let the government officials and prisoners see it with their own eyes."
"Method 3 is a fish-like thing. You take away dozens of prisoners and government officials, ask a few random questions, and then release them all. This will eliminate everyone's suspicion about the officials."
After hearing this, the tiger couldn't help but look at Bai Yu twice. This new minion was very good, and his spiritual intelligence was almost as good as it...
Bai Yu thought about it carefully, "The first method is too difficult; the second method, with the strength of this official, it is impossible to escape from your hands, and there are obvious flaws; I recommend the third method, which is just a fishy thing."
The tiger agreed, "Okay, you wait here, I will take away dozens of prisoners and government officials and release them."
call!……
A gust of wind blew and the tiger had left the cave.
Bai Yu couldn't wait to check the two character cards.
After studying it word by word, I probably figured it out.
First of all, he is no longer a faceless man and has completely restored his handsome appearance.
Secondly, he is always in the state of one of the two character cards, either a lackey or an official, and is no longer a mortal.
Finally, there is the difference between the two character cards.
When he is in the tiger's minion state, he looks like himself no matter in his own eyes or in the eyes of others, and he has 30% of the tiger's physical strength, plus two skills: "Transformation: Temporarily transformed into a tiger", "Tiger Roar:
While shocking the enemy, it further strengthens itself by 20%";
When you are in the official status, you will look like yourself in your own eyes, but in the eyes of others, you will look like an official. There is only one skill: "Roll Call: Anyone who is called will fall into a frozen state and ignore the other party's level."
"He is in the state of a minion, with high physical strength and two skills. He is suitable for fighting and is equivalent to a warrior."
"I'm in official status, and my body is weak. However, I have a bug-level skill. Whenever I call my name, no matter how high the opponent's level is, they will freeze, which is equivalent to a mage."
After Bai Yu analyzed it, he had an idea.
He is now in the state of a tiger, but his appearance is that of an official. This is because of the secret method imposed on him by the tiger.
"I have an official character card. I don't need the tiger's secret method to perfectly transform into an official."
Bai Yu directly switched the character card, from the status of the minions to the official status.
With a "snap", the skin covering his body fell off.
Bai Yu put away the official's relics, endured his nausea, dug a hole for the official's skin and bones and buried them, "Go in peace of mind, I will take good care of your family for you. Sooner or later I will peel off the tiger's skin and make it."
Insole, I will take revenge on you."
...
After waiting for less than an hour, the tiger came back.
The tiger said, "I have done everything as planned, you can go back."
Bai Yu asked the tiger to leave a few scars on his body and left in a hurry.
...
Rugged mountain road.
The government officials and prisoners who were traveling through the night were all frightened, looking nervously at the dark forest.
The tiger appeared and took away dozens of prisoners and government officials. It was so terrifying!
Just like drawing lots, it all depends on luck.
If you are not careful, you may become a "lucky person"...
The young yamen officer's face turned pale and his voice trembled, "Old Changtou, don't worry about these lowly prisoners. Let's run away. We have horses and can run fast."
Other government officials also advocated running away.
"These prisoners were exiled to Beihuang and died of overwork. After all, we are government servants and eat from an iron rice bowl. Money is much more expensive than these exiled prisoners. It is important to save our lives."
"Let's go to Linfu County first and move reinforcements, and then it won't be too late to come back to rescue these prisoners."...
"No!" The old yamen officer's face turned cold. "According to imperial law, if a yamen officer abandons the prisoner while escorting the prisoner, he is guilty of the same crime as the prisoner. Do you also want to be exiled to Beihuang?"
The government officials stopped talking, but their eyes flashed fiercely. It was obvious that they were disgusted with people like the old government officials who adhered to their principles.
Whoosh!......
In the dark mountain forest, a figure rushed out.
Everyone was startled, thinking that the tiger was here again.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that it was actually an official who had been snatched away by a tiger!
This official is the personification of Bai Yu, which is one of his two character cards.
"It's my lord!"
"Sir, how did you escape back?"...
The government officials were overjoyed, as if they had found a backbone.
"Wait!"
The old government officer's eyelids were twitching, his expression was alert, and he pointed a long knife at the officer, "Stand there first, don't come over."
Bai Yu assumed the posture of an official and immediately shouted, "You rebelled against me. Do you know who you are? How dare you order me."
The old government official said calmly, "I once heard a demon exterminator say that a monster like the tiger spirit can control three to five puppets to work for the tiger.
The tiger spirit took the master away. Logically speaking, there should be no bones left, but the master came back alive. This is too abnormal.
I have to doubt your identity. Before the identity is found out, I hope you will listen to me for the time being. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."
Puppet man?
Working for the tiger?
The faces of the government officials and prisoners all changed, and they couldn't help but look at the officials with suspicion. It really felt unusual.
Bai Yu secretly praised that this old Yamen servant was well-informed and had something to offer.
However, everything must be based on evidence. This is without evidence and mere speculation is useless.
Bai Yu said coldly, "The tiger took me away, asked a few questions, and let me go. I also found it strange. Since you have suspicions, I will cooperate with the investigation and let you take charge of this team temporarily.
"
The old yamen officer said, "Thank you for your cooperation. After the investigation is completed and your suspicion is cleared, I will apologize to you."
He took out a shackle and asked Bai Yu to put it on.
Bai Yu put it on cooperatively and silently followed the group of prisoners, waiting for the government officials and prisoners who had been taken away to come back.
Not long after, a government official fled back from the dark forest in terror.
The old yamen officer was equally suspicious and asked how the yamen officer escaped back.
The officer's answer was exactly the same as Bai Yu's.
The old yamen officer frowned, did he think it was wrong?
As dozens of prisoners and government officials were kidnapped and escaped one by one, the suspicion of official officials was getting lower and lower, and the effect of confusing people with real people was gradually achieved.
Cold sweat broke out on the old government officer's forehead. The crime of detaining Shangguan was not a small one. He couldn't bear it. He hesitated and opened the shackles for Bai Yu himself.
He bowed and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I made a mistake."
Bai Yu said magnanimously, "It's okay, you are responsible for it and you did a good job."
The old yamen servant still felt a little guilty, so he took out a betel nut and gave it to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu looked at his pants with a fixed gaze, "No need..."
The old government officer was surprised, "My lord used to like to eat it, why don't you eat it?"
"Quit."
Bai Yu said casually, pointing his finger at the young yamen servant, "You, bring my horse over here."
The young yamen servant quickly led the horse over.
My dear, you whipped me before, but now you have to lead the horse for me... Bai Yu got on the horse and was proud of the spring breeze.
The old government officer reported, "Sir, according to the statistics of my subordinates, forty-one people were taken away by the tiger, forty people came back, and one prisoner did not come back."
The prisoner was me. The one who actually didn't come back was the official. I turned into the official... Bai Yu naturally knew it.
He looked at the dark mountain forest and said, "It's such a dark night in the wild mountains. Maybe there was an accident on the way back."
The old yamen officer said, "Sir, would you like to roll the names and see who is missing? There is a hidden person who has not been found out yet. It may be a hidden danger."
Are you teaching me how to do things? Bai Yu said calmly, "Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing. As long as this hidden person doesn't do evil, don't pay attention to it."
The old yamen officer thought about it. He had called the name and forced the tiger to reveal himself, which almost caused a disaster. Since the other hidden person had not moved, it was better not to push too hard.
Lin Ping'an, one of the prisoners, hesitated for a moment and then stood up, "I know who hasn't come back. A man who was with me before was taken away by a tiger and has never come back. Please send some government officials into the mountain to look for him.
"
The officials' expressions suddenly changed. They were not happy about the presence of monsters in the barren mountains and mountains at this late night.
"What are you looking for? He's just an exiled prisoner. Once he's gone, he's gone."
"On the way to exile, all kinds of accidents are possible. It doesn't matter if there are ten or eight missing, let alone one."...
Lin Ping'an was silent. He was just an exiled prisoner. He was soft-spoken and could not say much.
Bai Yu glanced sideways at the young man. He was quite loyal. Yes, I will remember you.
