Chapter 147: Vitality and Death Energy

Qiao Sang felt a bit silly just after asking this.

If the old lady's Beast Tamer level had reached D-rank and she had received nourishment from a pet beast, it might be possible.

But the old lady's appearance completely matched the way she naturally aged at her age.

You must know that Beast Tamers who have received nourishment from pet beasts cannot simply determine their age by their appearance. High-level Beast Tamers might be seventy or eighty years old and still look like young people.

This also resulted in fewer people on the road hitting on handsome men and beautiful women.

Because you aren't sure if the person you're hitting on is from your grandparents' generation.

Of course, you can't meet such characters just because you want to.

However, there are quite a few people who hit on their parents' generation, which is often used as a joke to warn the public not to judge by appearance, otherwise the next one to die of social embarrassment might be you.

Given the old lady's age and appearance, she clearly hadn't received nourishment from a pet beast, so it was naturally impossible for her to hear a conversation that had been deliberately lowered from so far away.

Qiao Sang put on her shoes, stood up, and asked the question that had been in her mind: "Is the old lady suffering from any illness?"

Except for the medicinal smell in that room, she couldn't see any problems with the old lady's body at all.

If a person who is about to die suddenly becomes spirited, it can only be a flash of brilliance before death.

But according to research, a flash of brilliance before death generally lasts for about an hour or two or three hours, usually not lasting long. The old lady doesn't belong to this category.

The auntie was stunned at first, and then, as if thinking of something, she hesitated and said: "It's just normal old age, organ function is failing." Speaking of this, she paused: "Speaking of which, there is one thing that is very strange. On the 28th of last month, the old lady was delirious and couldn't eat anything. The doctor at the hospital also said it was just a matter of tomorrow."

"I was so scared at the time that I called Mr. Jiang, who is the old lady's son. Later, their whole family rushed over that day, and they were already preparing for the funeral."

"Who knew..." The auntie swallowed her saliva: "After they arrived, the old lady was actually fine, and her spirit looked much better than before. After the doctor checked, he said her physical condition hadn't improved, and it was estimated to be a flash of brilliance before death, but more than half a month has passed, and the old lady is still spirited."

After saying this, she laughed dryly: "I'm just saying this, don't be scared. After all, the old lady is a Beast Tamer, maybe the situation is a bit different from ordinary people."

"However, when she went to the hospital for a check-up the day before yesterday, the doctor still said it was just a matter of these few days. I guess the old lady doesn't have much time left, and the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp can't be found for a while, so I gave you a heads-up."

Qiao Sang was naturally not scared. Isn't it just that a person who was about to die suddenly became okay again? She had even experienced traveling to this world full of extraordinary creatures. What other bizarre things could she not accept?

However, it is true that this matter is not normal...

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked: "Is the time when Mr. Jiang and his family arrived the same day the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp went missing?"

"Yes, that night the old lady's granddaughter took the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp out to play, and then it got lost." The auntie answered without thinking. Clearly, she had a very deep impression of what happened that day.

Qiao Sang's heart tightened.

Something is wrong, something is very wrong...

Who would go out to play when the elderly at home were declared to be dying by the doctor? And hearing the news that the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp was missing, the old lady's condition didn't worsen but inexplicably improved...

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang asked: "Do you have the phone number of the old lady's granddaughter?"

The auntie paused and took out her phone: "I don't, is Mr. Jiang's okay? They should be together."

Qiao Sang smiled: "Of course, but I didn't bring my phone. Can you write it on paper for me?"

"You wait, I'll find some paper." The auntie turned and prepared to walk inside.

At this time, Qiao Sang reminded: "I remember seeing it on the table in the old lady's room just now."

Going down the stairs and arriving at the shaded area under Unit 5, Qiao Sang took out the paper with the number written on it.

Saying she didn't bring her phone was naturally a lie. Who wouldn't bring a communication device when going out these days?

However, she didn't take out her phone to make a call, but summoned Like Ya Bao.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao looked at the surroundings excitedly. It was finally out again!

Just as it was preparing to run a lap and properly exercise its limbs, Qiao Sang stopped it in time: "Quick! Use Tactile Perception to look at this paper. There is an old lady on the bed next to it. You help me see what she did."

Tactile Perception currently only has a playback time of about 10 minutes, so naturally, she has to hurry to see it.

"Ya..."

Like Ya Bao retracted the right front paw it had just stepped out. Although it was very bewildered why it had to do this, it still obediently placed its paw on the paper.

It closed its eyes, and soon, from the perspective of a bystander, the events that happened to this paper in the previous ten minutes appeared in its mind.

The dark room.

Like Ya Bao looked to the side and indeed saw an old lady lying on the bed.

Standing on the side was an exceptionally familiar figure, which was none other than its own Beast Tamer.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao called out excitedly.

Unfortunately, its own Beast Tamer was looking at the old lady on the bed and ignored it.

"Ya!"

"Ya ya!"

It ran in front of its own Beast Tamer again, trying to brush a wave of presence.

Still ignored it.

Like Ya Bao looked at its own Beast Tamer's straight-ahead gaze and paused. Only then did it remember that the scene in front of it was all a playback of that paper.

Right, the old lady.

Like Ya Bao remembered its mission.

Its eyes widened, and it turned its head to stare at the old lady on the bed without blinking, trying to stare a flower out of her.

But soon it was attracted by the figure next to it again.

Huh, isn't that the little brother? Why is it drooling at the old lady?

Although Like Ya Bao used Tactile Perception to feel the events of about ten minutes, in reality, it only took a few blinks of an eye.

When Like Ya Bao opened its eyes, Qiao Sang asked impatiently: "What did you see?"

"Ya."

Like Ya Bao lay on the ground with its limbs facing up, imitating the posture of the old lady lying on the bed, and then turned its head, repeating the words she had said.

"Ya ya, ya ya."

"Ya ya, ya, ya ya."

"Ya..."

Qiao Sang listened patiently and found that it was all what the old lady had said to her in the room...

Fortunately, soon the actions Like Ya Bao did next were after she left the room.

Only to see Like Ya Bao performing without props, pulling something over its body. If she wasn't mistaken, it should be a quilt.

"Ya, ya ya." Like Ya Bao lay on its back, imitating what the old lady said at the time.

Qiao Sang felt like she had been hit on the head with a stick, her brain feeling a bit dazed.

Holy crap! The old lady can hear!

Although she guessed there was something strange about the old lady, she didn't guess in this direction!

Being able to hear at that distance and volume is simply a superman!

No, calm down! There are no supermen in this world; there are extraordinary creatures that are even more magical than supermen.

A Beast Tamer who has received nourishment from a pet beast might be able to do this, but the old lady is not a high-level Beast Tamer...

Qiao Sang tried hard to force herself to calm down and sort out her thoughts. A person who was about to die became okay again, and her senses suddenly became sensitive, far exceeding normal people. On the same day, the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp went missing...

"Ya."

Like Ya Bao was still continuing its imitation.

It stretched out a claw to dig into its ear, suddenly pulled it back quickly as if it had been scalded, and then looked at that claw in a daze.

Don't say, this series of actions, if seen by any director, would probably be directly ready to sign a contract.

After imitating, Like Ya Bao stood up, shook off the dust on its body, and looked at the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, who had appeared at some point and was laughing at it. It suddenly remembered the scene where it was drooling at the old lady.

"Ya, ya ya?"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost paused and answered.

"Xun~"

"Xun xun~"

Qiao Sang on the side stopped thinking.

What the heck, vitality and death energy?! ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
