Chapter 744: Chapter 666: Resentment Arises from Many Sources

"Where did you get that outfit?" Qiao Sang asked with a smile on the surface, while muttering in her heart, "Good grief, if I weren’t so observant, I almost fell for it..."

She had a general understanding of the rules of the competition and knew that it was permissible to interfere with or fight opponents, but she didn’t expect the first opponent she encountered to pull this trick right from the start.

Fortunately, she had made contact backstage earlier; otherwise, she might have really changed locations following this method.

"I got it ready before the competition," the woman said as she put her mask back on, her voice lowered, speaking in an approving tone,

"I didn’t expect that you, participating in this kind of competition for the first time, would know to come to a place like this."

"A hospital shouldn’t be hard to think of," Qiao Sang said modestly.

"The hospital isn’t hard to think of, but most people go to the hospital closest to the Augustus Game Institute." When the woman finished speaking, her shoulder seemed to be poked by something, indenting downwards.

Although Number 113 was an opponent, it was clear from her age and her Pet Beast’s size that she posed no real threat, so the woman did not plan to waste any more time on Number 113. She paused before saying,

"I won’t chat with you any longer. I hope you achieve a decent result."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Qiao Sang watched the woman’s retreating figure for a while, then said,

"Let’s go, too."

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao called out and then continued sniffing around with its nose.

In the next twenty minutes, Xiao Xunbao successfully absorbed the negative Emotional Energy from dozens of medical staff. Suddenly, as if it had caught a whiff of something incredible, its eyes brightened, and it floated toward a certain direction with a clear target in mind.

Qiao Sang followed Xiao Xunbao to the basement level, arriving in a scarcely populated area.

The air around them was somewhat chilly.

Breathing through her nose, she could also smell the damp, rotting stench wafting by.

Looking around at the absence of any individuals, Qiao Sang suddenly got a bad feeling.

She seemed to remember reading in a book that the hospital morgues were usually built on the basement level or near the underground parking garage...

No way... Qiao Sang felt a rush of panic inside, yet kept a calm facade and said,

"Xiao Xunbao, how about we change places? It seems there’s hardly anyone around here."

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao pointed towards the corridor ahead, indicating that there was negative energy there.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap..." Just as Qiao Sang was about to say something else, suddenly a series of footsteps echoed from the darkness.

Qiao Sang got a jolt, swiftly turning her head to look toward the source of the noise.

...

Meanwhile.

At the Augustus Game Institute.

Watching a live broadcast with a corridor as the backdrop, the audience began to discuss.

"This Spectral-type Pet Beast has very sensitive senses, able to smell the scent from the third floor of the hospital all the way down to the basement."

"The scene I wanted to see is coming, the morgue!"

"What’s so interesting about a morgue? Even if there are really ghosts, only Spectral-type Pet Beasts would be able to see them."

"Stop talking, I’m getting scared..."

"Me too..."

"Negative energy doesn’t only refer to the Emotional Energy generated by living people; the resentment from the dead is also a form of negative energy. This Spectral-type Pet Beast can sense there is negative energy here, which just means some of the people lying here didn’t die naturally. There’s nothing to be scared of, this is normal."

"It sounds like footsteps, could it be someone from the hospital?"

"If only you’d look at the image in the top right corner, you’d know it’s Number 98."

...

Friedrich Comprehensive Hospital.

Basement Level.

"It’s you again?" Qiao Sang looked at the newcomer and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Surprise flickered in the woman’s eyes, then as if she thought of something, she turned her head to glance at Xiao Xunbao:

"Your Spectral-type Pet Beast seems pretty sharp at sensing energy."

"Xun Xun~"

Hearing itself being complimented, Xiao Xunbao’s mouth curved slightly, as if to say it was no big deal.

It looks like there really is negative energy here... Qiao Sang couldn’t help it and discreetly glanced towards the end of the corridor.

The woman said,

"Now that we’ve both found the morgue, let’s see who can absorb more energy."

Having said that, she walked inside.

It really is the morgue... Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly, and she took a deep breath, nodding at Xiao Xunbao.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao instantly understood its Beast Tamer’s intent.

Its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, it vanished from the spot.

Having Spatial Movement is awesome... Qiao Sang hastened to catch up with Number 98, shouting,

"Wait for me!"

The woman stopped in front of the morgue door and turned her head to find that the small spectral-type pet beast had disappeared without a trace. She asked, "Where’s your spectral-type pet beast?"

Of course, it was already inside absorbing negative energy... Qiao Sang nonchalantly said, "It’s invisible."

The woman did not suspect anything and smiled,

"Then I’ll go in first."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a pet beast made of smoky grey shadows, with a smoking collar around its neck, materialized out of nowhere.

It didn’t say a word, its body twisted, and then like grey smoke, it spread out and enveloped the woman.

It then passed through the morgue door without any resistance.

In just a few seconds, Qiao Sang heard the woman inside let out a curse in English.

It seemed Xiao Xunbao had already absorbed quite a bit of negative energy... While thinking about it, a loud "bang" erupted as the morgue door was suddenly blasted open by some force.

The woman was then thrown out, hitting the wall at the end of the corridor with such force that it shook violently.

What the hell! Qiao Sang was bewildered by the sudden commotion.

The woman, struggling with pain, roared,

"Run! There’s a wild lurking vengeful spirit inside!"

A lurking vengeful spirit? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

Just then, the corridor lights went out, and a chilling cold air descended suddenly.

She suddenly felt a wind-carrying fluctuation attacking her.

But in the next instant, Qiao Sang’s vision went dark, and when it returned to normal, she found herself in the corridor outside.

It was Xun Xun’s spatial movement... Qiao Sang seemed to realize something, turned her head, and sure enough, saw Xun Xun.

"Xun Xun!"

Xun Xun looked seriously toward the entrance of the corridor.

Qiao Sang followed Xun Xun’s gaze.

She saw that 98 was leaning weakly against the wall, her face full of shock as she looked at herself.

"Save her!" Qiao Sang decided instantly.

Although she did not know the particulars of the lurking evil spirit, from the fact that it attacked humans alone, she could be sure it was definitely a dangerous pet beast!

"Xun Xun!"

Xun Xun called out, its eyes flashing with blue light.

Immediately afterward, the woman appeared next to Qiao Sang.

The woman sat on the ground, her mouth slightly open, her expression frozen, completely baffled.

Spatial movement?

Was it spatial movement?

Who could tell her why a spectral-type pet beast would possess psychic series high-level skills?!

Suddenly, she thought of something, came back to her senses, and yelled,

"Let’s get out of here!"

At that moment, a little girl around five years old, with purple lips, a face so pale it was scary, and wearing a bloody white dress, appeared at the entrance of the corridor, staring at them expressionlessly.

Qiao Sang’s body stiffened as she asked with difficulty,

"Is this, a lurking vengeful spirit?"

"Yes." The woman struggled to stand up; she had just intended to explain what had just happened.

Just then, a slightly mischievous mechanical voice rang out:

"Don’t rush, let me see... a lurking vengeful spirit, a spectral series general-level pet beast, currently in a possessed state. It is said to be able to see ghosts and helps the deceased fulfill their wishes. The price is the soul, and the more vengeful the soul, the more it likes. However, it will fulfill the deceased’s wishes before absorbing them, which makes it a quite principled pet beast... Ah, although it has decent strength, I believe it’s definitely no match for you, go get it, master!"

The woman: "..."

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Xun Xun..."

Xun Xun, with a serious expression, stared at the little girl in front of them and quietly put away the pet beast identifier.

...

At the same time.

Augustus Competition Institute.

Almost all the spectators had their eyes glued to the same live broadcast.

The scene was quiet for a moment before a tumultuous noise erupted.

"My God! A lurking vengeful spirit! This hospital actually has a lurking vengeful spirit! That little girl must have died horribly!"

Victims possessed by a lurking vengeful spirit were always those who had suffered tragic deaths, without exception.

"This is going to be big news!"

"Shit, this spectral-type pet beast can actually perform spatial movement?!"

"What kind of pet beast identifier is that? It’s really stirring things up!"

"Someone call the police! Wherever there’s a lurking vengeful spirit, there’s injustice!"

"It’s my first time seeing a lurking vengeful spirit, this ticket was worth the purchase!"

At this time, one of the audiences, looking at the figure in the white dress on the screen, narrowed his pupils, swallowed hard, and said with a dry voice:

"Remember the man who was just crying? That’s his daughter..."
