Chapter 557 Catching Loaches

"Director Chi, what's the hurry?" Lin Shen looked at the skinny old man in front of him in confusion.

The feathers on the wings of this old celestial being named Chi Xinhuo are almost completely gray, and some places are even bald. He is very old, and it looks like half of his body is about to be buried in the ground.

But he is the director of the security department of Tianshiyuan, which means he is the person in charge of guarding the security of Tianshiyuan.

Lin Shen doubted whether he could still defeat Chi Xinhuo. Even if he was a Nirvana cultivator, he was so old and probably didn't have much strength left.

"I don't know whose pet this is that ran into our yard and destroyed all the vegetables planted in the backyard. If we don't get rid of it, we won't have any vegetables to eat in the future." Chi Xinhuo pulled Lin Shen to the backyard.

Ouyang Yudu also followed to the backyard and saw a cat-like creature gnawing on a cabbage.

Lin Shen was slightly startled. That creature was clearly a silicon-based creature, so how could it eat cabbage? Even if it was a real cat, it was a carnivore, and it would not eat cabbage no matter how hungry it was.

"Dean, we have to catch it quickly, otherwise we won't be able to keep the vegetables. It would be best if we can catch it alive. If someone comes looking for us later, we will have to ask them to compensate us." Chi Xinhuo said.

"Isn't this your job as the security director? How can you be the security director if you can't even handle a cat?" Lin Shen wanted to say that, but when he looked at the bald wings behind Chi Xinhuo, he thought about it and realized that there were no people in the security department and Chi Xinhuo was also a lone commander, so it was not his fault.

"Forget it, let me do it." Lin Shen simply snapped his fingers, and a particle of sand flew silently towards the spot on the kitten's body.

Originally, I thought that I could easily catch the kitten by pressing its acupoints from a distance.

Who knew that after he sent out the sand from his fingers, the kitten actually laughed casually and dodged it unintentionally, and the sand from his fingers pierced into the soil silently.

"This little thing is really lucky." Lin Shen didn't take it too seriously and flicked out another shot of sand from his fingers. As a result, the kitten just rolled on the ground and dodged it again.

Lin Shen knew now that things were not that simple. He couldn't help but frown slightly, then rushed forward and tried to attack the kitten using the technique of being pointed at by everyone.

The kitten was very fast, and it was obviously a flying-upgraded creature. It twisted and turned in the air, and actually dodged Lin Shen's finger attacks time and time again.

Lin Shen tried his best but was unable to touch the kitten at all.

What’s even more infuriating is that the kitten didn’t even run away. As if to provoke Lin Shen, once Lin Shen stopped, it stood opposite Lin Shen, tilted its head and looked at him, with a human-like expression of contempt on its face.

"Where did this little thing come from? It's so unruly." Lin Shen was furious. He put on the shell directly and was about to activate his skills to increase his speed. He was determined to catch this little cat.

"Dean, don't worry, don't worry. We don't even know whose pet this little thing belongs to. What if it's one of our brothers? It would be bad if we hurt it. Let me, an old man, try." Chi Xinhuo quickly stopped Lin Shen.

Lin Shen thought, "Why did you come to me if you can solve it? You came to me because you can't solve it, right?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Chi Xinhuo move. Although the speed was not very fast, he stretched out his hand and caught the kitten in his hand. Lin Shen saw clearly that the kitten tried to escape as before, but for some reason, it could not escape and was simply caught.

"Director Chi, you're pretty good at this." Lin Shen narrowed his eyes and looked at Chi Xinhuo, cursing in his heart: "This security director obviously has this skill, but he had to call me over to embarrass me. He really has bad intentions."

"Just a little trick. If the dean is interested, you can take a look at this. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me." As he said that, Chi Xinhuo took out a book from his arms, stuffed it into Lin Shen's hand without saying anything, then walked away with the kitten in his arms.

Lin Shen couldn't help but be slightly startled. He could naturally see that something was wrong.

"It seems that the security minister intends to give this thing to you." Ouyang Yudu walked over and said.

Lin Shen looked at the cover of the book, and saw only three words "Catch Loaches" written crookedly on it.

"It seems like that's the case. I guess they think I'm not capable enough as the dean and want to help me." Lin Shen smiled and looked through the contents.

The content inside is a kind of grappling technique, and it is also written in that crooked handwriting.

Although the handwriting was ugly, the more Lin Shen read, the more frightened he became.

This grappling technique called "Catching Loaches" is surprisingly strange. Not only are the moves strange, but if it can be practiced to the extreme, it can also generate a kind of suction in the palm of the hand. By combining that suction force, the grappling technique is even more strange and unpredictable.

"I didn't expect that this security director, who usually likes to play cards and drink and does nothing serious, actually has such a unique skill." Lin Shen was surprised. Although this technique was not a very powerful one, it was unique and unexpected.

The security director returned to the office, sat down at the mahjong table, and said to the others, "I've given him the loach. Whether he can make it depends on his own ability. If he can't make it, then you can't blame me."

"Just try your best. Our dean's strength and talent are still good enough. After all, there are not many ascenders in our Celestial Race who can defeat Christine." The logistics minister said as he drew cards.

"I don't think he can master it. After all, our Lao Huo's method of catching loaches was once praised even by the Emperor of Heaven. The former dean also wanted Lao Huo to promote this method, but Lao Huo taught it for so long and few people were able to learn it." Vice Dean An said.

"What do you mean not many people can learn it? It means not even one person can learn it. If it is so easy to learn, how can it be considered a unique skill?" Chi Xinhuo said proudly.

"Lao Huo, you weren't hiding anything at that time, were you? You can't hide anything from our dean. We still have to rely on him to make money in the future. You must let him learn. His techniques are too simple. He needs more techniques to deal with various situations." Vice Dean An said.

"Bullshit, am I that kind of person? I never keep secrets when teaching others." Chi Xinhuo changed the subject and said, "But after all, I learned how to catch loaches from my family secrets. Family secrets cannot be passed on to outsiders, so I removed the part involving family secrets before."

"Don't be anxious. What I gave to our dean was the complete version written by myself. If he can't practice it, you can't blame me." Seeing that several people looked unhappy, Chi Xinhuo hurriedly explained.
