The moment Gu Xi looked over, the Mutated Rat King instantly went completely still.
But its beady red eyes kept darting furtively toward Gu Xi, and its small, furry golden ears twitched twice.
'Interesting.'
Gu Xi patted the back of Qi Xiang's hand, signaling for her to stop.
She stared at the Mutated Rat King for a moment, then removed a black tube from its furry ear.
A small slip of paper was attached to the tube, on which was written: For Gu Xi's eyes only.
A line of smaller text followed: 'Private letter. All others keep away, or face the consequences.'
No wonder Ouyang said this thing had delivered itself to their doorstep.
"Miss Gu, this thing is incredibly clever."
Fang Rui explained from the side, "A little while ago, when Li Shen and Liu Hao were patrolling outside the camp, they spotted this thing furtively peering in our direction. They had just started to approach it, before they even made a move, when they saw it had this balanced on its head."
