Chapter 16 [16] The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Is Unusual

Evening.

Cheng Han pushed open the door and immediately noticed that there were as many as five birds on the living room table, along with a pile of bird eggs of different sizes, totaling nearly twenty.

This was undoubtedly the sheriff's spoils.

“Meow~”

The black cat meowed and wagged its tail slightly, as if taking credit.

After catching birds the previous two days, it had received praise from its owner, which made the black cat more and more motivated to hunt. Today, its harvest was even greater.

Cheng Han praised generously: "Sheriff, you did a great job!"

He was indeed quite impressed with his cat's abilities.

The productivity of this world was not very developed, and the price of meat and eggs was relatively high. If he took these things to the market to sell, they could be exchanged for at least two silver coins.

Others who kept cats only increased their household expenses, but the cat he kept not only reduced expenses but also significantly improved his standard of living.

It had to be said that people were different from people, and cats were different from cats.

Cheng Han squatted down and stroked the cat's head: "You are too good at catching birds. The bird population in the Taian Small Spirit Realm is not very large. Don't catch birds anymore in the future, lest you kill them all."

The so-called "extinction" was, of course, a joke.

However, the sheriff had even learned the skill of digging bird nests. With its own strength alone, it was entirely capable of reducing the number of birds in the nearby area by half.

“Meow~ Meow~”

The black cat responded twice, with a hint of doubt in its eyes.

It was asking: What should I catch then?

Cheng Han thought for a while and said, "In the future, catch 'hole rabbits'. This thing has extremely strong reproductive capabilities and likes to destroy farmland. The more you catch, the better."

“Meow~”

The black cat meowed happily, agreeing to its owner's request.

Cheng Han picked up a bird and asked, "By the way, do you want to eat roasted bird or braised bird meat?"

Last night, he gave the black cat a cooked bird leg, and it refused to eat raw bird meat ever since.

This was not surprising.

Cooked food was easier to digest than raw meat, and it put less pressure on the stomach. Cats were not stupid, of course they knew what to choose.

The black cat tilted its head to the left, looking quite cute.

It meant – choose the former.

If Cheng Han had not mastered the Spirit Guiding Remnant Imprint, he would definitely not have understood what the sheriff meant, and he was now increasingly finding the black cat's language very interesting.

Cheng Han added: "I'll boil a few bird eggs for you with clean water, plus a little green vegetable and a small spoonful of rice, for a more balanced nutrition, how about that?"

The black cat wagged its tail again: “Meow~”

Cheng Han smiled and started to cook.

He first poured a little brown oil into the stove, then activated the True Flame Remnant Imprint, and with a light flick of his finger, a spark flew into it.

“Whoosh!”

The flame instantly burst out.

He then put in a piece of honeycomb fuel, and before long, the stove was lit.

Cheng Han whistled: "Having mastered extraordinary abilities, daily life is indeed much more convenient than before."

After a lot of hard work, he made four dishes: a plate of bird egg fried mushrooms, a plate of boiled bird eggs, two golden-brown roasted birds, and a small plate of stir-fried green vegetables.

By ordinary people's standards, it could definitely be described as "rich."

Most families in this world usually only ate meat once every few days. The previous owner of this body had only been able to get a little bit of meat in the school cafeteria for quite a long time.

Cheng Han divided some of the food and placed it in front of the black cat: "Eat quickly."

The sheriff rubbed against his trouser leg and began to work hard on its meal.

From the black cat's occasional wagging tail and the occasional "purring" sound from its throat, it could be judged that it was extremely satisfied with this dinner.

Cheng Han tore off a bird leg, took a bite, and experienced the feeling of grease blooming on his taste buds, nodding in satisfaction.

Tasted good!

An hour and a half later.

Cheng Han woke up from a deep sleep and yawned.

He came to the living room, opened his schoolbag, and took out a green leaf from it.

This was the item left behind by the grass dog.

He was very interested in the strange event of a vine turning into an animal, so he picked up the leaf, intending to use the Omniscient Eye to analyze it and accumulate proficiency along the way.

Besides, wouldn't it be a great profit if he got another Remnant Imprint?

The black cat noticed the movement, crawled out from under the closet, squatted in front of its owner, and curiously looked at the leaf.

Cheng Han petted the cat's head a few times, focused his attention, and silently said: "Analyze the birth mechanism of the grass dog."

The leaf was part of the grass dog, and it was naturally a highly related item, so the deduction was successful in one try.

A cool sensation spread across his scalp.

A virtual image slowly emerged:

In the midst of lush greenery, a figure walked to a vine, quickly stroked the stem of the vine, and then turned away.

The stem twisted almost imperceptibly a few times, and then fell silent again.

For some reason, the illusion appeared unusually blurred.

A moment later, the picture disappeared.

A prompt followed closely: "Proficiency +6, current proficiency is 76/1000, mental value is 6.3/13.8."

Cheng Han looked solemn: "I thought the grass dog was just a special creature born by chance, but I didn't expect that someone was secretly manipulating it.

This deduction yielded 6 proficiency points and consumed 5.4 mental points. The data is higher than expected, so it seems that this matter is very strange."

He sighed: "However, the illusion is too blurry, it's really a headache."

The illusions deduced in the past were also relatively blurry, but they could barely be recognized. This time, however, it was like a layer of frosted glass, and the person's face could not be seen at all.

And this point also indicates that this matter is very unusual.

Cheng Han thought of a question: "How can I find this guy?"

He pondered for a long time and decided to take a stupid approach: "The number of students who have recently gone to the botanical garden for practical lessons is estimated to be several hundred, which can determine the general range.

Then use the elimination method to eliminate impossible targets. The remaining candidates must be the culprits who mutated the vines."

Cheng Han carefully recalled the illusion, roughly outlining the target's appearance, and then took out a piece of paper to record it.

"First, judging from the characteristics of the chest and hairstyle, this person must be a boy.

Second, he is slightly taller than me.

Third, he is neither fat nor thin, which indicates that his nutritional status is okay, which indirectly reflects that his family background should be of a medium level…"

He analyzed for a while, and listed a total of six options.

Cheng Han checked it again and smiled: "There will definitely not be too many boys who meet the above characteristics. With the cooperation of the Omniscient Eye, it is not difficult to find the mastermind behind the scenes."

He rested for a while and started doing the first thing: "Deduce the class that went to the botanical garden yesterday."

This was an effortless deduction, and the result came out instantly.

Class 5, Grade 3!

Cheng Han recorded it and silently said: "Deduce the class that went to the botanical garden the day before yesterday."

He repeatedly deduced it five times and found all the classes that had practical lessons in the past five days.

A total of seven classes.

Assuming an average of fifty people per class, the total is three hundred and fifty people.

The next step is to observe the students in the above classes and narrow the target range.

Cheng Han looked at the list and chuckled: "No matter what kind of monsters and ghosts they are, they shouldn't even think about escaping this young master's piercing eyes."
