743 Weird Thef (2/2)

He sent three hundred soldiers to catch all the fish in the lake. Not really all of it though. They took back all those heavier than one pound. They brought back about eight thousand pounds of fish, big and small.

It sounded like a lot of fish, but not really for a camp of so many people. It was impossible to let everybody share the fish. That was why they decided to cook fish soup so that everybody could at least taste the soup. The cook had been working for three days to make fish soup. The first two days were fine, but the third day, when they were ready to get the fish… They found…

The fish were gone!

Eight thousand pounds of fish divided into three parts. Over two thousand pounds of fish were gone on the third day!

All gone!

Disappeared!

Everything in the storeroom was there, except the fish. Whoever stole the fish did not touch any other things, including gold and silver, medical materials… nothing else. Only the fish were stolen…

More unbelievably…

There left a pile of fish bones in the place where the fish should be.

That was piled up neatly!

Every fish, from head to tail, including the bones on two sides were there. It looked more like all the fished were vanished at the same place except leaving the bones.

No flesh was left.

That was so weird.

”That is so weird… The lock on the door is still good. Whoever stole our fish, he didn’t break in. But even if somebody stole the key and got into the storeroom, how did he eat all the fish and leave the bones there so casually? How many people does it take to finish those fish at a time?”

The quartermaster was sweating. ”At the very least… I am not being stupid, but… look… to eat the fish so neatly… is simply beyond human capability… I guess whoever ate our fish must be a real powerful figure. But I can’t understand it. If he is such a powerful man, why would he only focus on the fish? Why bother?”

”Maybe… I am thinking… He must be a super powerful figure, who is a crazy fan for eating fish. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do such a thing. It is just… I just can’t believe there is such a person…” He seemed embarrassed. Apparently, he didn’t really believe in what he said.

The generals were shocked.

[What is going on?]

[If he is wrong, then maybe it’s a ghost? Isn’t it even more difficult to believe!]

They didn’t notice that the little cat lazily opened its eyes in Commander Ye’s arms. It squinted at the quartermaster and then closed its eyes again. It started to snore…

Suddenly, it made a burp…

Apparently, it had a positive comment about that quartermaster’s thought. He was smart. At least, it fully agreed with the term ‘powerful figure’!

Ye Xiao was also in a daze. He couldn’t think of any possibility. When he was ready to ask the quartermaster some questions, he smelled something fishy from in his arms…

He looked down and saw the little thing burp… It was closing its eyes, lying there as if it had nothing to do with this matter… Its furry tail was moving and shaking slightly…

Apparently, it was really enjoying this. It was even gloating.
