The black shadow crawled out from the ground like sinister tentacles, slowly wrapping around the man’s neck.
Yet the man turned his head as if he felt nothing, looking towards the young girl being questioned by the police in the distance.
I almost forgot about this kid... A veiled chill flickered in the man’s eyes.
He hadn’t misseen just now; If it hadn’t been for this kid’s Pet Beast using Telekinesis, how could he have failed to summon his own Pet Beast?
And it would have been impossible to disclose that incident in front of so many people.
But it didn’t matter, it was troublesome, but not insoluble, although his reputation might not recover for some time.
Really, Elyssa, to harbor such a grudge at such a young age, to have attracted such lingering resentment...
The man attempted to take out his cellphone to complain to his lover but then remembered his hand was broken and immobile.
Damn it... The man looked back at the sky, suppressing his surge of violent emotion.
Forget it, at least I’m still alive.
As he was thinking, a familiar face appeared above, blocking out the sunlight.
The man’s pupils suddenly constricted, his expression panicked to the extreme.
He wanted to scream for help, but in the next second, a sharp pain struck his neck, and the world in his eyes instantly turned into the concrete ground beneath him.
...
"Ah!!!"
A shrill cry rang out.
Qiao Sang, who was speaking with the police, followed the noise and saw the man who had been lying on the ground now with his head twisted a grotesque one hundred and eighty degrees, face planted downward, eerily.
Next to him lay the bloodless little boy in a blue hoodie stained with blood.
In that moment, Qiao Sang couldn’t articulate her feelings.
Honestly, despite having seen all kinds of news, this was the first time she had witnessed such a brutal scene with her own eyes.
The police in front of her ran over one after another.
"Xun Xun?"
Xiao Xunbao tentatively asked, indicating whether it should suck up the negative Emotional Energy from her.
"No need, I’m fine," Qiao Sang said.
"Xun Xun..."
Xiao Xunbao sighed; the competition to absorb negative energy wasn’t fun at all.
...
"Name."
"Qiao Sang."
"Age."
"Sixteen."
"Why were you in the morgue?"
"I was participating in the Spectral-type Pet Beast Negative Energy Collection Competition."
In the police station, Qiao Sang completed a familiar transcription.
After the transcription was done, she asked:
"Have you caught the lurking grudge?"
"No," the police officer comforted, "But you don’t have to worry. As long as you have neither died a violent death nor caused the death of someone, the lurking grudge won’t come for you."
It’s not that I’m worried about... Qiao Sang complained internally, then asked, "May I go now?"
"Yes," the police officer nodded.
As Qiao Sang exited the police station, she found that it had gotten dark.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao emerged, playing with a three-dimensional model of Shadow Control on one side, twisting it into various patterns like a rope of flowers.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Sang glanced at it.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao called out sweetly, indicating it was training its Shadow Control Skill.
Qiao Sang paused, "Why have you suddenly started training in Shadow Control?"
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao grinned, showing an expression that said, ’I just felt like training.’
Qiao Sang silently watched it, her gaze conveying, ’Do you think I would believe that?’
"Xun Xun..."
Xiao Xunbao’s expression stiffened, then it shook its hands helplessly.
It remembered that whenever it trained, Qiao Sang’s mood seemed to improve.
It just genuinely hoped its Beast Tamer’s mood would get better.
Qiao Sang was moved and was about to say that training wasn’t necessary, that she’d feel better after some sleep, but then she remembered that lately Xiao Xunbao had been exceptionally lazy, procrastinating training, and even staying up late addicted to electronics. She swallowed her words.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao blinked up at its Beast Tamer.
