Chapter 47
Wen Jin, in high spirits, revealed some information to Devitt, expecting at least a word of gratitude or perhaps the purchase of another bed of jerky as a token of appreciation.
However, to his surprise, not only did Devitt not express gratitude, but he also acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He continued conversing with Casey and the others, not even glancing sideways!
Wen Jin hesitated, and Mary, who had been passionately discussing various toy cars with him, tilted her head upon seeing this.
Wen Jin spoke in the language of the Honghuang Continent, which Mary couldn't understand; only Devitt, who shared a contract with him, could comprehend.
The little fox, smacking his lips, glanced at Mary, thinking that the big guy might not have heard it just now. So, he repeated it in a louder voice.
However, Devitt still didn't turn his head.
Wen Jin got angry instantly. He had repeated it, how could Devitt not react at all!
Just as the little fox was about to overturn a toy car in displeasure, Devitt reached out with one hand and gently wiped Wen Jin's face with his fingertips. The gentle action softened Wen Jin instantly.
In the sight of everyone, Wen Jin struggled free from Devitt's palm like being electrocuted. He let out a soft cry, his little face feeling a bit warm. He glared at Devitt, then turned and continued playing with Mary.
"Can you smell the scent of the zerg race?" After Casey and the others left, Devitt poked Wen Jin, who was enthusiastically pawing at an energy stone with his claws.
"Ao ao!" Wen Jin extended his paw and playfully slapped away Devitt's hand, licking his nose. "Yes, I can."
After saying this, Wen Jin seemed to feel that admitting it directly was not good, so he hastily added, "The noses of demon beasts... are all sensitive."
"Oh?" Devitt swept a meaningful glance over the little fox, who was uncomfortable kicking around on the bed. He didn't reach out to catch Wen Jin's little trick. "When you were at the research institute, did you notice that Aqi was acting strangely?"
Wen Jin glared at him, thinking, "Why tell you? Even if I tell you, you'll pretend not to hear."
Devitt pinched Wen Jin's paw. "Hmm?"
"Ao—" Don't touch randomly! Wen Jin called out. Afterward, he felt the comfortable warmth in Devitt's hand and couldn't help but rub it a couple of times with his soft paw. "No, I didn't. They can simulate scents."
Mary also said the same.
Moreover, the simulation is highly accurate; at least at the research institute, even he didn't realize that the Aqi in front of him was an imposter.
Wen Jin, who was clawing at Devitt's palm, tilted his head and thought for a moment. "But, it's not that similar."
"Hmm?" Devitt paused. "You can tell the difference?"
Wen Jin shook his head and then nodded. "The simulation is quite high. I didn't notice Aqi, but if you're closer or the distance is short, you can still distinguish."
For example, that day in the corridor when the zerg imitating Mary's scent suddenly stood behind Wen Jin, he indeed didn't react. However, when Mary spoke, Wen Jin immediately sensed it.
Upon careful consideration afterward, there were differences between the two.
Wen Jin seemed to be afraid Devitt wouldn't understand, so he added, "I didn't notice Aqi, but if they impersonate you, I'm sure I can tell."
