Chapter 148: The Midnight Fright Call — Phantom Beast Edition?

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A strange black-and-white image appeared in the video.

The footage looked as though it had been recorded many years ago.

"Sadako, you're so beautiful!"

Inside the frame.

A man and a woman walked in the middle.

They were two young people, each around twenty years old.

The man was gentle; the woman was beautiful.

As the image shifted.

The two of them, a man and a woman, drew close together.

And became a loving couple.

The two of them were sweetly stuck to each other every single day.

"We'll never be apart, will we?"

"Of course!"

The woman asked softly.

And the man answered gently in return.

At that moment!

They seemed to have become the most envied couple of all.

Not long after!

The woman became pregnant!

The man left early and came home late every day.

As though he had some busy work to attend to.

One day, he brought a woman to a desolate stretch of forest.

A remote forest, with a dilapidated thatched hut beside it.

And a dried-up well.

Clearly!

Someone had once lived here.

"Wan Zhenyi, I feel so strange!" "Didn't you have something to show me?" "Where is it? Are we there yet?" "Let's get out of here, quick!" The pregnant woman gripped the man's hand tightly.

Her body trembling, clearly afraid. "We're here already, Sadako!"

"Didn't you say we'd be together forever?" The man held the woman's hand and spoke in a gentle voice. "Now, let's be together forever!" "You'll stay by my side forever!" Suddenly, the man's face twisted into a savage snarl. From his body, a wave of terrifying black miasma surged forth.

It formed a horrifying human silhouette.

And he shoved the already-pregnant woman with all his might toward the dry well. "Wan Zhenyi, why!" The woman's body fell backward.

Her eyes showed incomprehension.

When she saw the savage expression on the man's face.

Her gaze turned to shock and despair.

The next instant!

Boom—!

Only a single scream echoed up from the depths of the dry well. "Go on down, vengeful spirit, and fuse with Sadako forever!" "Become the strongest power!" The man laughed savagely.

The next instant!

The terrifying figure behind him leapt into the dry well.

Then!

The man took out some strange objects and tossed them in as well.

The next instant!

A burst of light flickered inside the dry well.

Watching the video, Kong Sheng and Fang De recognized it.

It was the light of a phantom beast fusing and evolving.

Wooooo...

A low, mournful weeping rose up.

Yet the man burst into wild laughter. "Wonderful, truly wonderful!" "It worked, it finally worked!"

"My Sadako, you'll be with me forever!" "Bear witness as I become the strongest!"

"This way, we really will be together forever!" The man in the video laughed uproariously.

Inside the dry well!

A white figure drifted up.

Her belly was a sheet of blood.

Her face was already hidden behind her long hair.

Her body floated in the air.

"That beast actually used his own girlfriend's life to fuse with a phantom beast!" In front of the television.

Watching everything that had happened in the video.

Kong Sheng and Fang De's eyes were bloodshot.

They cursed in fury.

Fusing humans with phantom beasts is not an impossible thing.

There are many evolution resources in the world.

Those evolution resources don't only cause changes when eaten by phantom beasts.

Some evolution resources,

will cause changes after being swallowed by humans.

For example, someone swallowed a peculiar evolution resource and actually turned into a half-human, half-fish form.

There are also people who ate strange things and were mistaken for a kappa.

Of course, this kind of strange thing happens everywhere.

The ones responsible for handling it are precisely the people from their Beast-Tamer Bureau.

Obviously!

In the footage, that woman had already been used by her boyfriend with a special evolution resource,

to fuse with one of his previous phantom beasts,

forming a new terrifying phantom beast.

An entirely new phantom beast. "Woo-ah!"

While Kong Sheng and Fang De were furious!

Their phantom beasts called out alertly.

And the woman on the screen,

actually came toward the direction of the screen.
