Chapter 17: It’s Hard to Fly Even with Wings

Lin Yi knew the driver.

How could he not know him? After all, the guy in front of him was his father and another monster in the family.

Dad sat in the driver's seat and did not get out of the car. He stared at Lin Yi intently, and a sneer slowly appeared on his face.

"Yi Yi, it's so late, why are you not sleeping at home and running out?"

Lin Yi shuddered. He didn't understand why this monster appeared here.

Not only him, but also his mother before.

They always seemed to find Lin Yi's location.

Lin Yi quickly calmed down and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "The pressure of the exams these two days is too great. When I think of two more exams tomorrow, I am so nervous that I can't sleep."

"So, in order to face tomorrow's exams in the best condition, I want to come out to relax and adjust my mood."

"Is that so." Dad sneered, and then said, "You have been out for so long, your mood should be adjusted."

"Get in the car, Dad will take you home."

Go home? Go back to be eaten by you?

"No, I can just walk back by myself."

Lin Yi wanted to refuse, but as soon as he finished speaking, his father's face suddenly darkened.

"Don't pretend, I know you've already found out."

Lin Yi's heart sank at his father's words, he gritted his teeth and wanted to turn around and run away.

But his father's next words made Lin Yi give up this idea.

"Don't think about running away, you can't run away." Something seemed to be wriggling under his father's skin, not knowing whether it was the insect legs or the tentacles covered with barbs.

His eyes were impatient, and saliva even flowed down the corners of his mouth when he spoke.

"Besides, it's so late, it would be bad if we wake up the people sleeping nearby."

"You don't want to make a big deal and attract everyone, right?"

Dad didn't say it clearly, but Lin Yi understood.

Zhou Kai once told Lin Yi that once humans discovered the true face of a monster, then this human would no longer be the exclusive food of a certain monster.

At that time, any monster in the city could attack this person.

So, Dad's meaning is very clear. If Lin Yi wants to escape, the monster he will face will no longer be one, but a group.

Eaten by one monster, or eaten by a group of monsters?

Lin Yi frowned, thought about it, opened the car door and got in.

"Very good." Dad smiled and said, "You are worthy of my Yi Yi."

He secretly glanced at the car window, and Zhou Kai, who left the pharmacy, had disappeared.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The reason he got in the car was that he was worried that his escape would implicate Zhou Kai.

Besides, as long as Zhou Kai was not discovered, he still had a chance to be rescued.

There were not many cars on the streets at night, and Lin Yi was quickly taken home.

"Now, no one comes to disturb us." Dad closed the door, and the creeping under his skin became more intense.

A subtle sound came from him, like the sound of joints stretching, and the sound of skin tearing.

Dad opened his mouth, and the serrated mouthparts seemed to be about to drill out of it in the next second.

"Wait!" Lin Yi shouted, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

Lin Yi knew what he would face after returning. This monster was different from the previous one. He was stronger and more greedy.

He didn't care when Lin Yi found out, and he didn't even care why the other monster didn't come back.

In his eyes, there was only appetite.

"I'll be 18 the day after tomorrow." Lin Yi said hurriedly. What he had to do now was to delay time.

Only if he wasn't eaten by this monster immediately could he wait for Zhou Kai to come and save him.

"How about...wait until I'm 18 years old before eating me?" Lin Yi knew that this monster would agree. After all, he still remembered what happened on his birthday.

Dad didn't answer immediately, but the wriggling under his skin gradually stopped.

"I've always been looking forward to my 18th birthday. I want to eat a big cake and have a happy birthday." Lin Yi pretended to be very sad.

The monster frowned and muttered quietly: "Indeed, you will soon become an adult. The meat of a beastman on the day of his adulthood is the most delicious. Even if it is one day later, the taste will be much different."

"Besides, I heard that emotions can also affect the taste." Lin Yi heard what the monster said and hurriedly followed his words.

He remembered what happened in the previous time. On June 10, before killing him, the monster said that he was afraid that the meat would become sour.

So, Lin Yi continued: "If I can't celebrate my 18th birthday, I will be very sad. If I am too sad, the taste will be much worse."

"Anyway, you have waited for so many years, and it doesn't matter if you wait for one or two days."

"After waiting for so many years, wouldn't it be a pity if you can't eat the most delicious meat?"

"Don't worry, I will never escape this time. At worst, you can lock me in the room."

"Even if you want to escape, I can find you." The monster sneered, and the crawling under his skin stopped completely at this moment.

The monster in front of him returned to his father's appearance, but his eyes were no longer the same as before.

"Yiyi, go to bed early." Dad licked his lips.

Lin Yi was full of disgust, but he couldn't show it.

He couldn't anger the monster at this time, otherwise everything he had done before would be ruined.

After returning to his room, Lin Yi walked quickly to the window.

He looked downstairs and didn't see Zhou Kai.

"Wouldn't Zhou Kai have noticed that I was captured?" Lin Yi was a little worried.

But thinking carefully, Zhou Kai's ability made his sense of smell sharper than a dog. If he followed the monster away, he would definitely notice it.

Moreover, when Lin Yi got in the car, he secretly glanced out the window. Zhou Kai, who had originally walked out of the pharmacy, disappeared, indicating that he had hidden.

"Don't worry." Lin Yi comforted himself in his heart.

"It's still early. Even if Zhou Kai wants to save me, he has to think of a foolproof plan."

"If he acts rashly, not only will he not be able to save me, he will also be killed by this monster."

"Zhou Kai has always been very cautious, so he must be hiding somewhere now to plan a way to save me."

Having said that, the worry in his heart did not decrease at all.

In addition to these, there is one thing that Lin Yi can't figure out.

For some reason, these two monsters at home seem to always be able to find Lin Yi's location accurately.

The mother went to Sifang Mountain, and the father drove to the pharmacy.

If it wasn't for Lu Linhai risking his life to save him, Lin Yi really suspected that he had secretly leaked his whereabouts.

Lin Yi touched himself. Did these monsters install a locator on him?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi thought of his mobile phone.

If there was really a locator on him, it was very likely hidden in the mobile phone.

With this idea, Lin Yi didn't dare to contact Zhou Kai with his mobile phone.

If there was really a location in the mobile phone, there might be other things.

For example, monitoring.

No wonder Zhou Kai prepared an old phone and specially found a mobile phone card without a real name.

It has to be said that Zhou Kai's caution is indeed useful.

That night, Lin Yi, lying in bed, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at all.

The next day, Dad didn't go out and kept guarding outside.

His behavior was already very obvious. He would never leave until he ate Lin Yi.

I thought Zhou Kai would definitely take action on this day, but until night fell again, Lin Yi still didn't wait for Zhou Kai to appear.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, it was the evening of June 9.

At 11:54, the door of Lin Yi's room was pushed open.

Dad walked in rubbing his hands.

"Yi Yi, it's almost midnight."

"After midnight, it will be your 18th birthday."

"Yi Yi, do you know how much Dad is looking forward to this day?"
