Yan Qing's current demeanor posed a threat to everyone's safety. He nodded slightly. Shen Jianghuan felt a bit relieved, realizing that Yan Qing was listening.
Turning to glance at the iron bars, Yan Qing planned to leap out. "Yan Qing!" Tan Ming called out from behind him. Yan Qing turned back, his eyes glistening with emotion. "I believe in you," he said.
Tan Ming bent down to pick up Yan Qing's backpack from the ground and walked over, placing it in front of him. "Your bag." Yan Qing looked at the backpack, which was filled with food, but he had no intention of taking it with him.
After the system activation, both flora and fauna evolved, but their aggression was solely directed at humans. There had never been any instances of animals fighting animals or plants fighting plants; it was always humans who were targeted. Therefore, staying in wolf form outside should be safe for him.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I shouldn't go," he replied softly. "There's no way out for me!" Qi Qiuluo lamented. Allowing Yan Qing to leave now would be tantamount to sending him to his death.
Not to mention that Yan Qing was injured because of Tan Ming. If he hadn’t been hurt, how could he have ended up in such a state—neither human nor beast? It seemed they were intent on driving him to despair.
In truth, there were very few who supported Yan Qing staying behind and believed he wouldn’t harm anyone. Having come this far, there was nothing worse than having Yan Qing remain.
Qi Qiuluo clearly hadn’t considered the consequences of Yan Qing staying. On one hand, he didn’t care about anyone; on the other hand, he wasn’t afraid of anyone either, so he felt indifferent.
Seeing that everyone was ignoring him, Qi Qiuluo angrily took off his shoes and threw them at Tan Ming. "Are you brainless?" he shouted furiously. The shoe was swatted away by Xu Le's arm and missed Tan Ming entirely.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Liu retorted, narrowing his eyes. The identity of the murderer, the werewolf, had already been confirmed. "Are you defending him? What nonsense!"
"Do you believe Yan Qing isn't the murderer?" I, Qi Qiuluo, fell silent.
Yan Qing pushed off with his legs and leaped to the spot where the Giant Bat had just broken through the window, then without hesitation, he jumped down.
After he left, Tan Ming quickly picked up the backpack on the ground that had already lost its shoulder strap. He raised his arm high, preparing to throw it away, saying, "Take your things with you!"
However, at that moment, something inside the backpack seemed to be struggling desperately, bouncing up and down and pulling in all directions, causing the bag to deform as if something was trying to break free from within.
"No, please don't! You can't throw it!"
Two tiny voices, no bigger than mosquitoes, cried out.
Everyone was startled.
Tan Ming unhesitatingly pulled open the zipper of the backpack.
In an instant, two tiny figures jumped out from inside.
These two individuals were extremely small, only about the length of a normal person's pinky finger. If one didn't look closely, they would hardly be noticed.
"Is this a movie?" someone exclaimed in surprise. "How can people become so small?"
Even though they had seen all sorts of bizarre phenomena since the system activation at school over the past few days, it was still unbelievable.
The messengers quickly surrounded them.
Master Ban immediately recognized one of them wearing a black jacket and couldn't help but exclaim, "Sorcerer!"
The Wolf Messenger Identity is Sorcerer, ranked in Plum Blossom, Messenger Gear: Enlargement Technique.
"Thief!" Li Jianping's eyes widened in anger as he glared at the other one, who was a pure Xiao Ren.
"Thief," ranked in Plum Blossom, Messenger Gear: Transfer Technique.
Li Jianping swiftly grabbed the Thief in his hands, his thick fingers tightly pinching the thief's abdomen. He shook him vigorously a couple of times and shouted angrily, "Give me back my Satiation Pill!"
Ling Xingyuan felt dizzy, the world spinning around him as he shouted, "Stop, stop! Put me down first!"
Tan Ming said in a deep voice.
Now, the messengers exposed in the conference room last time had gathered enough numbers.
Hmph! Li Jiandi threw Ling Xingyuan to the ground.
After hitting the ground, Ling Xingyuan lay there, clutching his head and wailing. "Help! I'm going to die! Someone's going to kill me!"
Tan Ming glanced at Zhang Liu, who understood immediately and gently lifted both of them onto the table.
A circle of messengers sat around the table.
"Let’s clarify things," Tan Ming said, half-sitting on his chair, turning slightly to fix his piercing gaze on the two.
Ling Xingyuan exchanged a glance with Liu Xuanzhu. Ling Xingyuan disdainfully shrugged off his coat and boldly plopped himself down on the table.
The fingers of everyone around them were much larger than they were, and facing these giants, Liu Xuanzhu felt an overwhelming pressure. He raised his head and mustered his courage to shout, "We are human!"
"Sorry, anyone can say that," Tan Ming replied, his face betraying no emotion.
If they were truly innocent, why had they hidden until now, only coming out when forced?
"We really are human!" Liu Xuanzhu insisted anxiously.
Tan Ming didn’t want to hear any nonsense; letting them talk would likely lead nowhere. So he voiced his doubts directly. "Why were you hiding in Yan Qing's bag? Why did Thief steal the chef's Satiation Pill? And why did you two vote to kill the chef?"
Last time during the Messengers' vote in the administrative conference room, they had also participated while hiding in Yan Qing's bag, which explained their coincidental initiation of the vote.
"And me," Fan Xiaonan chimed in at an opportune moment, "Sorcerer even voted to kill me."
Liu Xuanzhu looked bewildered and scratched his head in confusion.
"Idiot!" Ling Xingyuan complained as he covered his face with a hand and stood up to directly answer Tan Ming's questions. "We ended up hiding in the werewolf's bag by accident!"
He crossed his arms and took a couple of steps forward, mimicking a scene from a movie with exaggerated gestures as he explained. "This all started with stealing the chef's Satiation Pill. At that special moment when plants and animals stopped evolving, we arrived at Fountain Square. We were just standing in the back corner, completely inconspicuous and not drawing anyone's attention."
