Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167 -162: The Dreamless Doll

“Did you hear any sounds?” Qiao Sang tensed up.

Fang Sisi was taken aback and replied uncertainly, “It seems like the sound of a baby beast.”

The baby beast, a water-type pet, usually speaks in coos, but aside from that, it can also make sounds very similar to a baby’s cry.

Besides breeders, ordinary people would find it very difficult to distinguish the difference between the two sounds.

Qiao Sang didn’t expect Fang Sisi to think of the baby beast so quickly. Before she could ask anything further, Fang Sisi continued,

“When players enter the second level, the baby beast in the water will make this sound, followed by the claws of the doppelganger puppet dragging imitation human hands out from the water pipes to scare the players.”

“But isn’t that supposed to be part of the escape room’s plot? Could it be that the pet beast of the second level wasn’t affected?” Qiao Sang inquired.

Fang Sisi pondered for a moment, saying, “No, it’s still not the same, the claws of the doppelganger puppet didn’t come out.”

“You’re right,” Qiao Sang nodded in agreement.

Xiao Xunbao, the treasure-seeking ghost, blinked innocently behind them.

Taking a few steps, Qiao Sang stopped and closed her eyes once more to sense Yaobao’s location.

The view was still a black background and not more than a hundred meters in distance.

How could the distance remain unchanged after walking so much? Qiao Sang opened her eyes, feeling startled.

Just then, the sound similar to a baby’s wail rose again.

“Do you know the exact location of the baby beast?” Qiao Sang turned to ask. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

“If we go by the escape room’s script, it should be in the waterways alongside us,” Fang Sisi paused, then asked, “What are you going to do?”

“If it’s willing to talk nicely, that’s best. If not, we’ll need to fight before we can have a conversation,” Qiao Sang declared.

Currently, it seemed the baby beast, an NPC, was the only one who was conscious during the first and second levels. Clearly, with something amiss in the escape room, they needed to have a talk with the baby beast, who might have witnessed something.

…

The surveillance room.

A man wearing a hat paced back and forth in front of the monitors, fretting, “How did they get in? What if something happens?”

The observation room’s screen only showed the scene where the Flame Listening Dog appeared. Now that the Flame Listening Dog could no longer be seen, and the first level’s camera also broke, naturally, there was no use staying there.

But it was different for the surveillance room.

Several screens in the surveillance room corresponded to each level of Lost Town’s escape room.

Originally, red eyes inexplicably filled one of the screen’s views, which were clearly visible to everyone in the surveillance room.

As the mist spread, all cameras in the first level room stopped working.

There were no anomalies on the cameras of the other levels, but the intercom was malfunctioning and calls could not get through.

Wanting to go out and take a look, but upon reaching the corner of the corridor outside the surveillance room, he found himself facing the surveillance room again.

Left with no choice, he had to return to the surveillance room.

They noticed the two girls entering the second level room the moment it happened.

They thought they were the culprits behind this situation.

But upon zooming in for a closer look, one was the Beast Tamer of the Flame Listening Dog and the other was the Beast tamer of NPC number 9.

The Flame Listening Dog and the Cotton Caterpillar couldn’t possibly create such a bizarre scene, so they were ruled out as suspects.

That wasn’t the most important point.

The important thing was, the surveillance showed two spectral-type pet beasts following them!

One was a treasure-seeking ghost, and the other was a dreamless doll.

The former wasn’t much of a problem, a lower-level pet beast, small in size and probably young.

But the latter was definitely a high-level pet beast!

The dreamless doll had the trait of insomnia and couldn’t sleep 24 hours a day. Some experts believe that its eyes may have reddened from staying up all night.

It liked to feed on other people’s dreams.

It was somewhat considered a spectral-type extraordinary creature that preferred energy that was slightly less evil.

But there was one thing.
