Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 745 - 667: Why?

Chapter 745: Chapter 667: Why?

The hall suddenly fell silent, then erupted into even more noise than before.

"I told you there was something definitely wrong with that man!"

"Call the police! Call them now!"

"But dying from a fall out of a window after being frightened by a wild pet beast is still an unnatural death, could her grudge be directed at that wild pet beast?"

"No way, all the victims possessed by latent resentment are never done in by such simple causes!"

"Am I the only one worried that these two participants might be in danger...?"

The audience fell silent again, their gaze returning to the darkened background of the broadcast screen.

The directors controlling the virtual screens backstage smartly cut out a dozen or so broadcasts that were getting little attention, considerably enlarging the screens for Number 98 and Number 113.

...

Fordbrite General Hospital.

Basement level one.

Qiao Sang took a deep breath and said calmly,

"Let’s go first, then immediately evacuate the crowd. We’re broadcasting live, if someone in the audience sees this, they will surely help by calling the police."

Leave the professional work to the professionals.

Though Yaobao might not necessarily be a match for the possessor of latent resentment, when two General-level pet beasts start fighting, the destruction is too vast, especially with Yaobao, and this being a hospital, one misstep could lead to substantial compensation. Qiao Sang had no intention of doing such a thankless and strenuous task.

The woman agreed immediately,

"Okay."

After speaking, she didn’t move, but instead glanced at Xiao Xunbao.

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao instantly understood the meaning of its Beast Tamer.

Its eyes shone with a blue light, and then it showed a dazed expression.

"Xun Xun..."

As if sensing something, Xiao Xunbao lowered its head to look at the ground.

Qiao Sang had a bad feeling and likewise looked at the ground.

The lights around them had gone out, casting the area into darkness where only the outlines of things could be seen.

However, having benefited from frequent nourishment, Qiao Sang’s vision was good; she clearly saw a slender shadow connected to Xiao Xunbao’s shadow.

No way... Qiao Sang’s heart shuddered. Following the direction of the slender shadow, she looked upward and saw the "little girl" in a white dress stained with blood.

"Quickly have your pet beast use spatial movement!" The woman saw that they were still in the same spot after all this time, urgency and panic creeping into her voice.

Qiao Sang gazed at the "little girl" and said, "We can’t move, the possessor of latent resentment has used Shadow Control."

The woman’s face changed drastically. She quickly looked down and, by the difference in the shadow’s colors, indeed saw a particularly dark shadow!

Shadow Control, a high-level skill of the Spectral Series, not only allows one to control the opponent’s shadow but also possesses the same ability as the shadow stepping trait.

A pet beast under control can neither be recalled nor can it execute skills like Teleportation or Spatial Movement that change its position.

At that moment, only one thought crossed her mind: This is bad...

The "little girl" tilted her head stiffly, then rapidly advanced in a bizarre pose.

"Shadow Blade!" The woman gritted her teeth and shouted aloud.

A gray smoky shadow abruptly separated from above her head, twisted and converged together, transforming into a pet beast with a smoking collar around its neck.

"Yan Yan!"

The pet beast cried out, and several blades formed from condensed shadows suddenly appeared out of thin air, launching toward the "little girl."

The "little girl" moved like a blur, dodging all the attacks from the shadow blades with ease.

Twenty meters, ten meters... in nearly the blink of an eye, the "little girl" was right in front of them.

When she was only a meter away from Xiao Xunbao, Qiao Sang called out loudly,

"Water Gun!"

"Bingke!"

Lubao burst out of the backpack, opened its mouth, and a thick jet of water instantly fired, hitting the "little girl" on target.

The "little girl" subconsciously crossed her arms in front of her.

As she used her hands to block, the black shadow connected to the ground faded.

"Now’s the chance!" Qiao Sang seized the opportunity and said.

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up with blue light again.

The next second, it vanished from the spot.

By the time the "little girl" lowered her hands, what she saw was an empty scene.

"Latent resentment..."

The "little girl" tilted her head, then as if remembering something, sniffed with her nose and headed to the elevator, pressing the button to go up.

...

The first-floor lobby.

"Scared me to death..." The woman looked at the passing crowd and leaned against the wall, her heart pounding in waves.

When she had finally calmed down, she turned to Qiao Sang and said with gratitude, "Thank you for this time. Without you, I fear I would have lost my life here today."

Qiao Sang’s expression was serious, "Where is the main control room of the hospital?"

The woman was startled at first but then realized, "There should be an announcement system at the appointment desk in the waiting area."

The appointment desk... Qiao Sang quickly scanned the surroundings, spotted the appointment desk, and rushed over. He urgently said to the medical staff:

"Quick, notify everyone to evacuate, there’s a Chao Su Star lurking on the negative first floor, and it’s about to come up!"

Given Qiao Sang’s youthful appearance, he didn’t seem very reliable, but the presence of Xiao Xunbao, a Spectral-type Pet Beast never before seen on Chao Su Star, instantly gave off the impression that this kid was not to be underestimated.

The medical staff, who wanted to say "Stop joking," hesitated a moment 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 on a certain spot on the desk, and said into the microphone:

"Please be aware, there’s an emergency situation. Please remain calm and evacuate in an orderly and safe manner. Thank you for your cooperation."

Then she dialed the emergency number.

At this moment, people in the hospital, hearing the public broadcast, though unsure of the specifics of the situation, still changed their expressions and started moving outside.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s go too," the woman said as she walked up.

Qiao Sang was about to agree but then seemed to remember something and calmly said, "You go ahead, I’ll stay here."

The woman asked in confusion, "Why?"

It wasn’t easy for everyone to make time to visit the hospital, and now they had to leave before their check-ups were done. There would definitely be a lot of negative emotional energy, an excellent opportunity for collection... Qiao Sang thought to himself, but outwardly spoke with a sense of righteousness:

"Everyone hasn’t completely evacuated yet. I’ll wait for the police to arrive before leaving, just in case something happens, I can lend a hand."

The woman’s face became extremely complex, she patted Qiao Sang’s shoulder without saying anything and turned to follow the crowd.

Just then, from outside the hospital lobby, came a tumult of noise, screams overlapping each other, many people turned and ran back.

Qiao Sang’s expression hardened, and he moved toward the source of the sounds.

He saw a group of people huddled together, staring in horror at something.

Qiao Sang pushed through the crowd and saw the "little girl" from the negative first floor holding a man who was limp like a dead dog.

Why does he look familiar... Qiao Sang’s gaze shifted downward, resting on the man’s face. He pondered for a moment, then his expression shifted slightly.

Well, if it isn’t the man who had lost two children but showed only a hint of fear...

The "little girl" tossed the man she was holding like a sandbag.

Many people couldn’t help but pull out their phones to record the scene.

Exclamations came from the crowd:

"Isn’t this girl one of the twins who was brought in today?!"

"I saw it too! Isn’t this guy her father?"

"Wasn’t this girl declared dead?!"

The man’s face contorted in pain as he glared hatefully at the "little girl" not far away and said coldly, "This is not my daughter, she’s been possessed by a Spectral-type Pet Beast!"

Hearing this, the crowd showed shocked expressions and collectively took two steps back.

However, no one left, clearly more intrigued by the excitement of the situation.

The man lay on the ground in agony, unable to stand, but his hands still moved slightly.

He painfully brought his hands together and started to form seals.

But just then, he found his hands were being controlled by some invisible force and he couldn’t move them at all!

Immediately afterward, a clear, youthful voice rang out:

"Oh my God! This girl has been possessed by a Chao Su Star!"

At these words, the crowd became restless.

"A Chao Su Star? Isn’t that a General-level Spectral Series Pet Beast?"

"I remember a Chao Su Star only possesses people who have died horribly!"

"I know that too! If the death isn’t tragic enough, it won’t possess them."

"Is the Chao Su Star fulfilling the little girl’s last wish?"

"But it’s clearly hurting the girl’s father..."

"I just thought of a possibility, what if the twins didn’t fall from the building because of a wild Pet Beast..."

"...What do you mean?"

Many people looked at the man lying on the ground with suspicion in their eyes.

The man, on the other hand, stared intently at the figure who first shouted about the Chao Su Star.

"Xun Xun."

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue, standing in front of her own Beast Tamer.

At this moment, the "little girl’s" head tilted stiffly, and she verbalized hesitantly as though learning to speak, word by word:

"Why, what, for?"
