I'm the one running the game

"Some tribesmen seem to be acting strange recently. Have you noticed it?" Li touched the back of his head and asked Hui hesitantly.

He believed that Hui, as a witch, must have noticed the changes in the tribe.

"I didn't feel any changes." Hui's answer was beyond his expectation: "Maybe you are too tired, so you have hallucinations."

"Otherwise, don't go out hunting these days, and rest in the tribe for a while."

Hui's words made Li confused for a while.

Hallucinations occur when you are too tired? What is this saying? Anyway, he has never heard of it.

But since it was Hui who said it, it must make sense.

"No need to rest, but Hui, are you sure you don't feel any changes?" Li still didn't give up. Although he was not a witch, there was nothing wrong with his brain.

"Tell me, what changes have occurred in the tribe?" Hui seemed to believe him, and his expression became solemn.

"For example, Sui, he seems to be much stronger recently, and he is so mysterious and I don't know what he is doing."

"And Fei, I remember she was plowing the land before, but she seems to be a little strange recently, looking for some herbs."

"In addition, like Wei, he also..."

Li gave a lot of examples at once. He spent a long time with these people and it was easy to detect changes.

In fact, there was another person, he didn't say it, that was Hui in front of him. He felt that Hui's change seemed to be the biggest, especially in terms of strength, but he didn't say it.

"It can be so big." Hui responded with surprise, and then said: "Don't leak this matter first, I will investigate the reason."

"Hui, don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about this." Li patted his chest and said.

"That's good, you know, once other people know, they will definitely be scared, causing instability in the entire tribe."

"For this reason, you must keep it secret, and it won't be too late to announce it after I find the truth." Hui emphatically told Li not to talk nonsense.

"I understand!" Li assured again with a solemn look when he heard that it would be so serious.

But he thought again: "Hui, will this matter really affect the tribe?"

"Yes, if I tell you that there are more than a hundred people with problems in the tribe, are you afraid?" Hui gave him an example.

"Of course I am afraid." Li answered immediately, but he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the example Hui gave him. Before he could think deeply, Hui's words interrupted his thoughts.

"That's it, so you must not make it public." Hui repeatedly instructed.

"I know, then I will go out and prepare for hunting first. Hui, remember to be careful when investigating, don't be discovered." After Li finished speaking, he got up and left.

On the way back to his home, he was thinking, and then his steps suddenly stagnated.

He suddenly found something wrong with the example Hui gave him.

"How did Hui know that more than a hundred people had problems." He muttered in a low voice.

Li couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Even he didn't know how many people in the tribe had changed, but Hui could tell the approximate number.

This means that Hui actually knew about this matter, and knew it better than him.

After coming to this conclusion, he felt a sense of hair standing on end. With the changes in Hui during this period, he felt more and more scared.

After returning home in a daze, he was pulled back by the voice of his son Dian.

"What's wrong? I saw that you have been looking like this since you came back from Hui's tent." Dian asked.

"Nothing, just something." He replied.

Dian is already thirteen years old and is a five-pattern totem warrior in the tribe. On weekdays... Wait, Li found a problem, that is, how come his son has five patterns?

He remembered that he should have only two patterns before.

"Dian, when did you become a five-pattern totem warrior??" He looked puzzled.

He is the father, how come he didn't notice that his son's strength has improved so fast.

"Oh, I picked up some opportunities when I went out hunting with him before." Dian said with a twinkling look in his eyes.

"No, what kind of opportunities can increase so quickly? It's only been a few days." Li certainly didn't believe it. This was too outrageous.

How could he not understand what his son was capable of.

"Otherwise, how can it be called opportunities? It's because it increases so quickly." Dian followed Li's words and then immediately changed the subject: "These are all trivial matters. Or tell me what news you heard from Hui just now."

"I tell you, you must not reveal it." Li thought about it. After all, he was his son, so it didn't matter if he said it: "I suspect that there is something wrong with the people in our tribe, even Hui."

Then, he briefly told Dian about his guesses and the changes of some people in the tribe.

"Indeed, the changes are so big that anyone with a discerning eye can see it."

"But I think you think too much. They are still the same. There is no change." Dian said with a smile.

"No, no, no, it's not like that. It feels like she's become a different person. Can you imagine what Fei would be like if she didn't till the fields?" Li disagreed with Dian's words.

"Well, let's wait for Hui's news. You can't possibly be planning to investigate, right?" Dian asked back.

"That's definitely not possible. I don't have the time. I have to go hunting." Li thought about it. There were changes, but it didn't seem to have much impact on his life.

He still hunted, ate, and slept every day, and then the day passed.

Thinking of this, he felt that he might be too suspicious.

We are all from the same tribe, how could there be any problems.

"Then let's go. Hunting time is almost up." Dian reminded him. As a totem warrior of the tribe, he naturally needs to go hunting.

Li's thoughts were interrupted, and he ignored it. Then he took his son to gather and prepare for hunting.

But he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt strange, but he couldn't remember where it was.

But since he couldn't remember it, he ignored it.

Hui was waiting for them at the scene. After everyone arrived, he began to cast totem spells on the tribal warriors who were about to go hunting.

This is something that must be experienced every day.

Li looked at Hui, and there was no change at all, as if he hadn't told him about the changes in the tribe.

‘As expected of Hui, she hides well. If it were me, I would definitely take the opportunity to observe after hearing about this.’

‘Wait, maybe he knows, so there is no change?’ Suddenly, this thought came to Li’s mind.

Before he could think about it carefully, he was urged by the hunting team to go hunting together, and then he could only hide it in his heart temporarily.

…

At night, the tribe was silent, but hundreds of people gathered together.

“We still have to be careful, Li has found clues and came to report you today.” Hui said helplessly.

He didn’t want to gather everyone, but there was no way, these people were too big and were noticed.

“Don’t talk about us, when my father came out of your tent today, he also thought there was something wrong with you.” Dian said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Hui blew his beard and glared: "Hey, this kid, his brain is not flexible when it should be flexible, and when it shouldn't be flexible, how can he see so many things."

"What should I do? I'll try to hit him on the back of the head to see if he can forget it?" Dian made a joke.

"Go away, if you hit him on the back of the head, he will forget it, then we can have a feast." Hui followed and teased.

Then, Fei said: "But then again, why should we hide it? Why not just show it directly?"

"It's not a big deal anyway, just let it be once you know it."

Fei's words attracted the approval of some people.

"Not strong enough." Hui gave a reason and said, "Lu said that things should be done in secrecy. Our strength is not enough to keep us safe."

"We are no match for the witch kings now. If a witch king knows our origins, how do you think they will treat us?"

"They will definitely torture us to get our secrets out, instead of choosing to cooperate with us, right?"

"When Wo's true body enters the parallel world No. 3, it won't matter then."

After hearing Hui's reason, everyone agreed.

"Then what about my father? He will continue to be suspicious if he has doubts." Dian asked.

"Otherwise... you dig a cellar, lock him in there, and let Hui use totem magic to seal him so that he can't come out, and then let him out when the time is up." Wei said with a smile.

"That's a good idea. Then I'll come forward and find a reason to say that Li was asked to do something, and you can spread some rumors, and no one should doubt it." Hui thought this would work.

Anyway, as long as the suspicious people are locked up, no one will doubt it.

As for how to explain it afterwards, the God Tree Witch King descended from the sky and blew up all the enemies. It was not a problem to explain it or not.

"What if other people also doubt it? We can't lock them up together." Dian was quite speechless.

"It's not impossible. You can dig a bigger cellar to save the next expansion." Hui said seriously.

"Then why don't I let my father dig it? Anyway, he is locked in the cellar, so let him dig it together." Dian thought that he was idle, so he could do some work to stretch his muscles and bones, so as not to be too bored.

"You are really filial." Hui didn't expect Dian to be so bold.

"Let's try it in the cellar first. Lu's experiment is progressing quickly. At most, in about a month, the vortex can be expanded to the extent that the snail can pass through."

"So in the future, everyone should be quiet and don't be discovered again, otherwise I'm afraid the cellar is not big enough."

When Hui said the latter, he couldn't help but make a joke.

When the others heard that there was only one month left, they didn't say anything. They thought it would be better to just take it easy and not be so anxious.
