Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 671: Why?
The hall suddenly fell silent, followed by an even louder clamor than before.
“I knew that man was definitely problematic!”
“Call the police! Quickly call the police!”
“But falling out of a window after being scared by a wild Pet is also an unnatural death. Could it be that her resentment is directed at that wild Pet?”
“Impossible, the cause of death for all victims possessed by Undergrudge Yodo can’t be that simple!”
“Am I the only one worried about these two contestants getting into trouble…?”
The audience fell silent again, focusing their gaze on the dimly lit live broadcast screen.
The director team, controlling the virtual screens backstage, immediately and sensibly cut off over a dozen live broadcasts that weren’t receiving much attention, significantly enlarging the screens for No. 98 and No. 113.
…
Ford Bitt Comprehensive Hospital.
Basement Level 1.
Qiao Sang took a deep breath and calmly said:
“Let’s go first, then immediately evacuate the crowd. We’re live streaming right now, so if anyone in the audience sees it, they’ll surely help call the police.”
Leave professional matters to professionals.
Although Ya Bao might not necessarily be no match for Undergrudge Yodo, two General-level Pets fighting would cause too much destruction, especially Ya Bao. This is a hospital, and if something goes wrong, there will be a lot of compensation. Qiao Sang didn’t want to do something thankless and difficult.
The woman also meant the same thing, and she immediately nodded:
“Okay.”
After speaking, she didn’t move but glanced at Xiao Xunbao.
Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao.
Xiao Xunbao instantly understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning.
Its eyes glowed blue, then it showed a dazed expression.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao seemed to sense something, lowering its head to look at the ground.
Qiao Sang felt a bad premonition and also looked at the ground.
At this moment, there was no light around, so dim that only the outlines of things could be seen.
However, Qiao Sang had received multiple feedbacks, and her eyesight was good. She clearly saw a slender black shadow connected to Xiao Xunbao’s shadow.
No way… Qiao Sang’s heart trembled. She looked in the direction of the slender shadow, then her gaze moved upwards, and she saw the “Xiao Nvhai” in the white, blood-stained dress.
“Quick, make your Pet use Space Movement!” The woman, seeing that she was still in the same spot after a long time, couldn’t help but sound anxious and flustered.
Qiao Sang stared at the “Xiao Nvhai” and said: “We can’t move anymore, Undergrudge Yodo used Dark Shadow Control.”
The woman’s face changed drastically. She quickly looked down and, by the difference in shadow color, indeed saw a particularly dark shadow!
Dark Shadow Control, a high-level Ghost-type skill, in addition to controlling the opponent with their shadow, also possesses the same ability as the shadow-stepping characteristic.
Pets that are controlled cannot be recalled, nor can they use teleportation or Space Movement-type skills that change their position.
At this moment, she had only one thought: It’s over…
The “Xiao Nvhai” stiffly tilted her head, then rapidly approached with a strange posture.
“Shadow Blade!” The woman gritted her teeth and shouted.
A gray misty shadow suddenly separated from above her head, twisting and gathering together, transforming into a Pet with a smoking collar around its neck.
“Yan Yan!”
The Pet let out a cry, and several blades formed from dark shadows instantly appeared out of thin air, striking towards the “Xiao Nvhai.”
The “Xiao Nvhai” moved a few times as if transforming into afterimages, dodging all the Shadow Blade attacks.
Twenty meters, ten meters… In almost a blink of an eye, the “Xiao Nvhai” was right in front of them.
Just as she was only one meter away from Xiao Xunbao, Qiao Sang loudly said:
“Water Gun!”
“Ice Ke!”
Lu Bao darted out of the backpack, opened its mouth, and a thick Water Gun was instantly fired, accurately hitting the “Xiao Nvhai.”
The “Xiao Nvhai” subconsciously crossed her hands in front to block.
While blocking with her hands, the color of the black shadow connected to the ground faded.
“Now!” Qiao Sang seized the opportunity and said.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue again.
The next second, it disappeared from its original spot.
When the “Xiao Nvhai” lowered her hands, all she saw was an empty scene.
“Undergrudge…”
The “Xiao Nvhai” tilted her head stiffly, then seemed to remember something. She sniffed with her nose, then went to the elevator and pressed the up button.
…
First Floor Lobby.
“You scared me to death…” The woman looked at the passing crowds, leaning against the wall, her heart pounding.
After she finally managed to calm down, she looked at Qiao Sang beside her and said gratefully: “Thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have perished here today.”
Qiao Sang’s expression was serious: “Where is the hospital’s main control room?”
The woman paused, then understood: “There should be a broadcast at the appointment desk in the waiting area.”
Appointment desk… Qiao Sang quickly scanned her surroundings, saw the appointment desk, and hurried over, urgently saying to the medical staff:
“Quick, tell everyone to evacuate! There’s an Undergrudge Yodo on Basement Level 1, and it’s about to come up!”
Qiao Sang’s underage appearance was really not very reliable, but coupled with Xiao Xunbao, who had never appeared on Super Dormant Star, it instantly gave people the feeling that this child had an extraordinary background.
The medical staff, who had intended to say “Don’t be silly,” hesitated when they saw Xiao Xunbao: “Did you see it with your own eyes?”
“Of course!” Qiao Sang nodded.
The medical staff hesitated for two seconds, pressed a spot on the desk, and spoke into the microphone:
“Please note, there is an emergency. Please remain calm and evacuate in an orderly and safe manner. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Then she dialed the police number.
At this time, people in the hospital, listening to the public broadcast, still didn’t understand what exactly was happening, but their expressions changed slightly, and they all rushed out towards the exit.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.
“Let’s go too,” the woman stepped forward and said.
Qiao Sang was about to agree, but then she remembered something and calmly said: “You go first, I’ll stay here.”
The woman asked, puzzled: “Why?”
It’s not easy for everyone to find time to come to the hospital, but they have to leave before their illnesses are seen. There must be a lot of negative emotional energy, and now is a great time to collect it… Qiao Sang thought to herself, but on the surface, she said with righteous indignation:
“Everyone hasn’t fully evacuated yet. I’ll wait until the police arrive before leaving. If anything happens in the meantime, I can lend a hand.”
The woman’s expression immediately became extremely complicated. She patted Qiao Sang’s shoulder, said nothing, and turned to leave with the large group.
Just then, from the direction outside the hospital lobby, a noisy clamor erupted, screams rising and falling, and many people turned and ran back.
Qiao Sang’s expression hardened. She walked towards the source of the sound.
She saw a group of people gathered around, looking at something in horror.
Qiao Sang pushed through the crowd and saw the “Xiao Nvhai” who had been on Basement Level 1, holding a man who looked like a dead dog.
Why does he look familiar… Qiao Sang’s gaze dropped, landing on the man’s face. After a moment of thought, her expression subtly changed.
Good heavens, isn’t this the man from before, whose two children died, but whose emotions only showed a little fear…
The “Xiao Nvhai” threw the man in her hand like a sandbag.
Many people, watching this scene, couldn’t help but take out their phones and start recording.
Gasps of surprise came from the crowd:
“Isn’t this girl one of the twins brought in today?!”
“I saw her too! I remember this man is her father, isn’t he?”
“Isn’t this girl dead?!”
The man’s face was painfully contorted. He glared hatefully at the “Xiao Nvhai” not far away, and said coldly: “This isn’t my daughter, she’s possessed by a Ghost-type Pet!”
Everyone heard this and showed astonished expressions, uniformly stepping back two paces.
However, no one left; clearly, the desire to watch the spectacle had taken over.
The man was temporarily in too much pain to get up, but his hands could still move.
He painstakingly brought his hands together and began to form a seal.
But at this moment, he found that his hands seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, and he couldn’t move them at all!
Immediately after, a clear, young girl’s voice rang out:
“Oh my! This girl is possessed by Undergrudge Yodo!”
The crowd immediately stirred.
“Undergrudge Yodo? Isn’t that a General-level Ghost-type Pet?”
“I remember Undergrudge Yodo always possesses people who died very tragically!”
“I know too! It doesn’t possess people who didn’t die tragically enough!”
“Is Undergrudge Yodo helping the Xiao Nvhai fulfill her wish?”
“But it’s clearly harming the girl’s father…”
“I suddenly thought of a possibility. Do you think those twins didn’t fall from the building because of a wild Pet…?”
“…What do you mean?”
Many people subtly looked at the man lying on the ground.
And the man stared intently at the figure who had first shouted “Undergrudge Yodo.”
“Xiao Xunbao.”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue, blocking in front of its Yu Beast Master.
At this moment, the “Xiao Nvhai” stiffly tilted her head, as if she had just learned to speak, uttering one word at a time:
“Why?”
