Chapter 669: No. 98

Soon, it seemed to smell something and drifted in a certain direction.

Qiao Sang followed Xiao Xunbao through the bustling crowd to a waiting area where public benches were full of people.

Everyone looked almost exhausted.

Even when a never-before-seen Ghost-type Pet appeared not far away, everyone just glanced at it and then continued to immerse themselves in their own worlds.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao opened its eyes, revealing a serious expression, and picked up the emotional energy collection bottle that its Yu Beast Master had given it earlier.

Then, with a gentle sniff of its nose, an invisible energy surged from the top of everyone’s head, uniformly drifting towards Xiao Xunbao’s location.

Just as the energy was about to be sucked into its nose, Xiao Xunbao circulated energy within its body, and these invisible energies changed direction and entered the bottle.

Qiao Sang watched clearly from the side; after the energy was absorbed, the people sitting on the public benches first looked dazed, then they all seemed to remember something, either checking the time or starting to chat with their relatives next to them.

So this is the reaction when negative energy is absorbed… As she was thinking, she saw Xiao Xunbao already starting to sniff around again and drift somewhere, so she quickly followed.

At the same time.

Auguswood Tournament Arena.

Viewers watching the live broadcast couldn’t help but discuss this scene.

“This won’t do, right? Absorbing so many people’s emotional energy at once, it’s easy to accidentally absorb positive energy.”

“They’re all in the hospital; it must all be negative emotions.”

“Not necessarily. When my wife gave birth, I was in a pretty good mood while I was there.”

“I was also quite happy once when I accompanied my friend to the hospital, because he had hemorrhoids.”

“I’m starting to want to press her number.”

“Don’t! Her absorbing the wrong energy is just your guess. I’ve never seen this Ghost-type Pet before, and I want to see more of it.”

Qiao Sang was completely unaware that Xiao Xunbao’s act of absorbing a group of people’s emotional energy all at once had sparked discussion among the audience. At this moment, she was standing about three meters away from a department office.

The door to the office was wide open, and many people were gathered at the entrance.

The commotion inside was considerable; even with normal hearing, the sounds from inside could be heard clearly.

“Bang!”

The sound of a table being slapped rang out, followed by a man’s angry roar: “Why are you slapping the table at me? What does a crowd have to do with my follow-up appointment? I waited for two hours! You didn’t ask me a single question when I came in! You didn’t even look at the films and just prescribed medicine right away! So what’s wrong with my mom, did you say?!”

And then another, older voice:

“I am a doctor! Are you questioning my professionalism?!”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao looked excited and was about to float over to absorb, but Qiao Sang called out to it:

“Wait.”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao turned its head, showing a puzzled expression.

“This time, go invisible,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao chirped, then vanished.

Half a minute later, the man’s voice suddenly lowered:

“Doctor, I just want to know what’s wrong with my mom.”

The old voice also lowered:

“Your mom just came into contact with a Poison-splatter Scorpion. Its exhaled breath contains toxins, which irritated your mom’s respiratory tract…”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

As she was listening, Xiao Xunbao floated over, shaking the bottle in its paw.

“Let’s continue,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao chirped, then sniffed left and right.

Every part of the hospital had people with negative emotions, including the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Qiao Sang stood at the doorway, listening to a pregnant woman’s conversation with her family inside.

“I said I want a painless delivery!”

“Don’t worry, I told the doctor it would be painless,” the family member soothed.

“Bullshit! I saw the order form; your ‘painless’ means giving me a painless labor injection, and I still have to give birth myself for several hours! What I want is to find a Fetal Healing Sisi! Let it directly help me painlessly separate the baby!” The pregnant woman’s voice sounded very angry.

Fetal Healing Sisi… Qiao Sang listened to the conversation at the door, and information about that Pet instinctively flashed through her mind.

This species of Pet is quite popular among women on Super Dormant Star. Almost all obstetrics and gynecology departments in the Upper Tenth District and Middle Ten Districts have one. It is said that during childbirth, as long as the Fetal Healing Sisi’s belly touches the pregnant woman’s belly, the baby will transfer from the pregnant woman’s belly to the Fetal Healing Sisi’s belly, and then be spit out through the Fetal Healing Sisi’s mouth.

The entire process is painless and causes no harm to the pregnant woman.

However, many family members disagree with pregnant women using Fetal Healing Sisi, saying that the child absolutely cannot be born through a Pet’s body.

Xiao Xunbao floated in invisibly.

One minute later, it floated out.

It seems there are a lot of negative emotions if it takes so long to absorb… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

For the next hour, Xiao Xunbao hardly rested. Every time it finished absorbing one person’s negative energy, it could immediately find another person’s.

At this rate of absorption, getting into the top three shouldn’t be difficult, right… Qiao Sang leaned against the wall, watching Xiao Xunbao absorb another dose of negative energy into the bottle, while pondering.

Just then, a heartbreaking cry came from downstairs.

Qiao Sang followed the sound to the end of the corridor and looked out through the window.

She saw a well-dressed Middle-aged Man downstairs crying bitterly, as if he had encountered something unbearable.

A lady beside him, also looking down at the person, saw Qiao Sang also paying attention to the person below and gossiped:

“This man is truly miserable. His twin children were scared by a wild Pet that suddenly appeared in their home, and they both fell from the building and died.”

No wonder he’s crying like that… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated over after absorbing the energy.

The lady, seeing a Ghost-type Pet approach, instantly fell silent and quietly took two steps sideways, creating distance.

Qiao Sang was still looking at the crying Middle-aged Man.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao chirped, indicating that it had finished absorbing and it was time to find the next target.

“Isn’t there one right here?” Qiao Sang gestured towards the Middle-aged Man downstairs and said.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao looked in the direction of its Yu Beast Master, then tilted its head, showing a puzzled expression.

This human has no negative emotional energy?

Qiao Sang: “???”

He’s crying like a dog, and you’re telling me he has no negative emotional energy?

“Why don’t you float closer and sense it?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao obediently nodded, then went invisible and floated downwards.

Soon, Xiao Xunbao floated back.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao extended its paw, bringing two short toes together, making a tiny gesture, indicating that this human only had a tiny bit of fearful negative emotional energy.

Qiao Sang: “???”

…

At the same time.

Auguswood Tournament Arena.

The live broadcast screen had already been halved, and more viewers were paying attention to the screen showing Qiao Sang.

“This Ghost-type Pet isn’t good, it can’t even sense negative energy.”

“It definitely can sense negative energy. It’s been absorbing energy continuously for an hour without stopping.”

“Then why can’t it sense this?”

“Maybe it sensed for too long and got numb.”

“Ah, what a poor man, he lost both his children at once.”

“Where’s the children’s mother? Why haven’t I seen her?”

“I know this man; he’s the CEO of a listed company. He divorced his wife a long time ago, and the two children were with him. Life is unpredictable; I never thought something like this would happen.”

“What was this Ghost-type Pet saying just now?”

“It said this man only has a tiny bit of fearful negative emotion,” said a viewer who carried a Ghost-type Pet with them.

The audience fell silent for a moment.

A few seconds later, a voice broke the silence:

“Under normal circumstances, if two children died, would one feel fear?”

“…Maybe,” the person next to him said uncertainly.

“Maybe there’s fear, but not only fear,” another audience member said. “This man has a problem.”

“Could it be that this Ghost-type Pet sensed it incorrectly?”

“When this No. 113 contestant comes back, we’ll check if the energy her Ghost-type Pet absorbed was wrong, then we’ll know how accurate its sensing is.”

…

Ford Bitt Comprehensive Hospital.

Crying like that, and only a tiny bit of fear? Is that possible? Is that normal? Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then dialed the emergency number and explained the Middle-aged Man’s situation to the operator.

“You’re saying that because your Ghost-type Pet only sensed fear, you think someone else has a problem?” the operator confirmed.

Qiao Sang “hmm-ed” and said, “In this situation, only having this emotion is not a normal phenomenon.”

“Then is it possible there’s a problem with your Pet?” The operator’s tone was a bit impatient: “Someone just lost a pair of twins, and you’re still suspecting them, Miss. Allow me to remind you, don’t call the police indiscriminately based on a mere guess.”

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Qiao Sang calmly put away her phone.

This was indeed just her guess, and besides calling the police, she couldn’t do anything more.

“Let’s continue,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, skillfully wiggling its nose.

Suddenly, a masked medical staff member stepped forward and said:

“We do not allow the absorption of emotional energy in the hospital. Please put your Pet away.”

Qiao Sang stared at the other person’s exposed eyes and smiled, “No. 98?”

The medical staff member froze for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly:

“I didn’t expect you to recognize me.”

Saying that, she took off her mask, revealing the black-haired woman who had been so familiar backstage earlier.
