Beast Taming Begins with Involuting Pets

Under Xiaoqi's treatment, the treasure-hunting rat's eyes and broken tail are slowly growing back.

After treating all the wounds, big and small, on the treasure-hunting rat's body, Xiao Qi was already panting with exhaustion.

Lin Manman quickly took out a meal replacement pill that Xiaoqi usually ate and stuffed it into its little paw.

Xiao Qi rubbed the meatball happily, and opened his little mouth hidden in the fur to eat it with relish.

"Are you awake? I'm not a bad person. I won't hurt you. Otherwise, I wouldn't let my pet heal you."

After Xiao Qi finished treating the treasure-hunting mouse, its whiskers and ears moved slightly. Perhaps because it had been abused for a long time, even if Lin Manman said that she would not hurt it, it was unwilling to believe it and still lay there motionless.

Seeing this, Lin Manman could only sigh regretfully, "Well, it seems that you are not willing to believe me, so I will hand you back to the police."

Unexpectedly, this sentence somehow stimulated the treasure-hunting mouse. The treasure-hunting mouse opened its small black eyes, anxiously grabbed the cage and squeaked at Lin Manman.

Lin Manman frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Qi who was chewing on a meatball. "What is it saying?"

Xiao Qi tilted his head and looked back and forth at Lin Manman and the treasure-hunting mouse. After listening carefully for a while, his expression became a little nervous.

“Oh, oh, oh…”

After understanding what Xiao Qi meant, Lin Manman's pupils shrank slightly. Treasure Hunter meant that the police could not be trusted, and this pervert was deliberately released by someone...

Lin Manman tried hard to keep her face calm and walked with Treasure Hunting Mouse and Xiao Qi to the shade of a tree farther away.

"Treasure Hunting Mouse, can you tell us in detail what happened before?"

Away from the crowd, the treasure-hunting rat gradually relaxed. It first took two steps back and bowed to Lin Manman, as if to thank her for saving it.

Then it told Xiaoqi what happened after it followed the treasure hunter.

After the treasure-hunting rats followed the treasure hunter on his last murder and treasure-stealing mission, they happened to run into the garrison leaving the city on a mission and were captured.

Originally, such extremely dangerous treasure hunters could be killed on the spot once they were caught. When Treasure Rat was still in the treasure hunting group, he had heard of many treasure hunters being killed in this way.

But for some reason, the order from their superiors this time was to take him back to the imperial capital for trial before publicly executing him.

In this way, the treasure hunter and the treasure hunting rat were both sent to Jinling City. The treasure hunter and the treasure hunting rat were originally imprisoned separately, and the treasure hunting rat also thought that he could escape from the clutches of the treasure hunter.

But during the handover process, the treasure-hunting rat was taken away and then returned to the treasure hunter.

The man who took the treasure-hunting mouse away asked the treasure hunter to find and recover something very important.

"Did you find that thing?"

Lin Manman frowned. Who could be looking for something so important that he would use such a dangerous treasure hunter?

"Zhizhi, Zhizhi..."

“Oh, oh, oh…”

"So you haven't found your target yet?"

No wonder he was not in a hurry to escape, it turned out he had other purposes.

"Why are you still squatting here? Come on, you have to go to the bureau with us to make a record. If you go back too late, won't your mother be worried?"

When Lin Manman wanted to ask the treasure hunter more questions, Yu Tian came over. It was mainly the credit of their Huaishui District that the treasure hunter was captured this time, so the task of temporarily detaining the treasure hunter was also their responsibility.

Lin Manman glanced at the treasure-hunting rat that lay down and pretended to be dead after Yu Tian approached. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Sister Yu Tian, ​​what will you do with this treasure-hunting rat when you go back?"

Yu Tian took a look at the treasure-hunting rat and found that its wounds had been healed. She couldn't help but smile, "Treasure hunters usually don't have living victims when they commit crimes, so their property should be auctioned off and confiscated. What? You want to contract this treasure-hunting rat?"

"That's not right. Your contract slot should be full, right?"

Lin Manman smiled awkwardly, "Sister Yu Tian, ​​your thoughts are too jumpy. I'm just a little worried about the outcome of this treasure-hunting rat."

Although it was true that she was envious of the treasure-hunting rat's talent, she didn't dare to have anything to do with this treasure-hunting rat until the treasure hunter was dealt with.

The treasure-hunting mouse pretending to be dead in the cage moved its ears slightly.

Yu Tian looked around and made sure that there was no one nearby before whispering in Lin Manman's ear, "I heard from the boss that there was something fishy about the treasure hunter's escape. The central area is currently conducting a self-investigation, so they may have to temporarily detain him here while we wait for the person who was transferred from the imperial capital to come and take over."

"As for this treasure-hunting rat, whether we will hand it over together or leave it here for us to deal with directly depends on their requirements at that time."

Lin Manman, who had already heard some news from the treasure-hunting rat, flickered her eyes and asked, "Was the person handed over in the central area?"

If we calculate the time, the time from when the treasure hunter was captured to when he escaped was exactly the time when Lin Manman was competing in the central area.

"Sister Yu Tian, ​​why don't you kill such a dangerous treasure hunter directly outside the wall, but bring him back to the city? Isn't this very dangerous?" Lin Manman asked casually.

Yu Tian shrugged, "I don't understand either. Things outside the wall are generally under the jurisdiction of the garrison troops. The security inside the city is our business."

"This is the first time we've heard of a treasure hunter being handed over to the Imperial Capital for execution. Perhaps this guy offended some powerful force in the Imperial Capital when he committed the crime."

Lin Manman nodded. What Yu Tian said made sense. If the treasure hunters killed the children of the aristocratic families in the imperial capital, that would make sense.

"Then...after we go back, will we keep this treasure-hunting rat in the police station? If I have nothing to do, can I bring some food to see it?" Lin Manman was a little curious about what the treasure-hunting rat and the treasure hunter were looking for. She wondered what kind of treasure it would be...

Yu Tian looked her up and down twice with a look that said "I knew it".

"Well... the police station doesn't have a place dedicated to taking care of spirit beasts, so they may have to be temporarily fostered in a safe spirit beast store. But since you're so enthusiastic, I can propose to the higher-ups to let you help foster them for a few days."

Seeing that Yu Tian had misunderstood, Lin Manman did not want to explain further. If she could be alone with the treasure-hunting mouse, it would be convenient for her to ask more questions from it.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yu Tian took it as her consent, pulled her back on the land vehicle, and went to ask for instructions from her superiors.

"Squeak..."

The treasure-hunting mouse realized that Yu Tian had left, so he opened his eyes and called out pitifully to Lin Manman a few times.

"Oh..." It's very hungry and wants something to eat...

Xiaoqi translated for it with a sympathetic look in his small black eyes.

Lin Manman hurriedly took out the meal replacement pills and spiritual fruits that the baby could eat, but she didn't know whether they would suit its appetite.

Who would have thought that the treasure-hunting mouse was not picky about food at all, and it ate the meal replacement pills and spiritual fruits at the same speed. It looked as if it had been hungry for a long time, which made Lin Manman feel sorry for it again.

These treasure hunters simply treat the treasure rats as tools and don't take good care of them at all.

They are not animal tamers, so they don't have to worry about the death of treasure-hunting rats posing a danger to them. In addition, their boss will breed treasure-hunting rats continuously, and these treasure-hunting rats are like consumable tools that will be thrown away after use.
