Chapter 667: Why?

The hall fell suddenly silent, followed immediately by a clamor even noisier than before.

"I told you that man was definitely suspicious!"

"Call the police! Hurry and call the police!"

"But dying from a fall after being scared by a wild pet beast is also an unnatural death. Could her resentment be directed at that wild pet beast?"

"Impossible. For all the victims possessed by a Latent Resentment Yunduo, the cause of death could never be that simple!"

"Am I the only one worried about whether those two contestants will suffer..."

The audience fell silent once more, focusing their gaze on the dimly lit live broadcast screen in the background.

The director's team controlling the virtual screens backstage immediately and sensibly cut a dozen or so feeds that no one was paying attention to, significantly enlarging the screens for No. 98 and No. 113.

Fudebite General Hospital.

Basement level one.

Qiao Sang took a deep breath and said calmly:

"Let's leave first, then evacuate the crowd immediately. We're currently on a live broadcast; if anyone in the audience sees this, they will definitely help call the police."

Leave professional matters to the professionals.

Although Like Ya Bao might not necessarily be a match for the Latent Resentment Yunduo, the destructive power of two General-tier pet beasts fighting would be too great. Especially with Like Ya Bao—this was a hospital, and if things went wrong, the compensation would be massive. Qiao Sang didn't want to do thankless work.

The woman shared this sentiment and nodded immediately:

"Okay."

After speaking, she didn't move, but instead glanced toward Little Xunbao.

Qiao Sang looked at Little Xunbao.

Little Xunbao instantly understood its Beast Tamer's intent.

Its eyes glowed with blue light, and then it wore a dazed expression.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao seemed to sense something, lowering its head to look at the ground.

A bad premonition arose in Qiao Sang's heart, and she looked at the ground as well.

At this moment, there were no lights around, and it was so dim that only the outlines of objects could be seen.

However, Qiao Sang had received nourishment many times, so her vision was good. She clearly saw a thin, long black shadow connected to Little Xunbao's shadow.

No way... Qiao Sang's heart trembled. She looked in the direction of the thin, long shadow, then raised her gaze to see that "little girl" in the white dress stained with blood.

"Hurry and tell your pet beast to use Space Movement!" Seeing that she was still in the same spot after so long, the woman's voice couldn't help but carry urgency and panic.

Qiao Sang stared at the "little girl" and said, "It can't move anymore. The Latent Resentment Yunduo used Dark Shadow Control."

The woman's expression changed drastically. She quickly looked down, and relying on the color difference of the shadows, she indeed saw an exceptionally black shadow!

Dark Shadow Control, a high-tier Ghost-element skill. Besides being able to control the opponent through their shadow, it also possessed the same ability as the Shadow Tag characteristic.

Not only could the controlled pet beast not be recalled, but it also couldn't execute skills like Instant Movement or Space Movement that changed its position.

At this moment, only one thought crossed her mind: It's over...

The "little girl" stiffly tilted her head, then quickly approached with an eerie posture.

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

A gray, smoky shadow suddenly separated from above her head, twisting and gathering together to transform into a pet beast with a smoking collar around its neck.

"Yan yan!"

The pet beast let out a cry, and several blades condensed from black shadows instantly appeared out of thin air, attacking in the direction of the "little girl."

The "little girl" moved as if she had turned into an afterimage, dodging all the Shadow Blade attacks.

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

Just as she was only one meter away from Little Xunbao, Qiao Sang shouted loudly:

"Water Gun!"

"Bing ke!"

Lubao darted out from the backpack, opened its mouth, and a thick Water Gun was fired instantly, hitting the "little girl" accurately and without error.

The "little girl" subconsciously crossed her hands to block in front of her.

While she was blocking with her hands, the color of the black shadow connected to the ground faded.

"Now!" Qiao Sang seized the timing and said.

"Xun xun!"

Little Xunbao's eyes glowed with blue light again.

The next second, it disappeared from where it stood.

When the "little girl" lowered her hands, she saw an empty scene.

"Latent Resentment..."

The "little girl" tilted her head, then seemed to remember something. She sniffed with her nose, then went to the elevator and pressed the up button.

First-floor lobby.

"Scared me to death..." The woman looked at the passing crowd, leaning against the wall, experiencing waves of palpitations.

Once she finally calmed 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 met my end here today."

Qiao Sang's expression was serious: "Where is the hospital's main control room?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then understood: "There should be a broadcast at the appointment desk in the waiting area."

Appointment desk... Qiao Sang scanned the surroundings quickly, spotted the appointment desk, and rushed over, saying urgently to the medical staff:

"Quick, notify everyone to evacuate immediately! There is a Latent Resentment Yunduo on the basement level, and it's about to come up!"

Qiao Sang's underage appearance was truly not very reliable, but adding Little Xunbao, which had never appeared on Super Star, instantly gave people the feeling that this child's background was not simple.

The medical staff, who had wanted to say "Don't mess around," hesitated when they saw Little 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 situation. 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, the people in the hospital heard the voice on the public broadcast. Although they didn't know exactly what was happening, their expressions changed slightly, and they surged toward the outside.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go too." The woman walked up and said.

Qiao Sang had wanted to agree, but then she thought of something and said calmly, "You go first. I'll stay here."

The woman was puzzled: "Why?"

Everyone had finally taken the time to come to the hospital, and they had to leave before seeing a doctor; the negative emotional energy must be abundant. Now is the perfect time to collect it... Qiao Sang thought to herself, while saying with a righteous air on the surface:

"Now that everyone hasn't fully evacuated yet, I'll wait for the police to arrive before leaving. If something happens in the meantime, I can lend a hand."

The woman's expression suddenly became extremely complicated. She patted Qiao Sang on the shoulder, said nothing, and turned to leave with the main group.

Just at this moment, from the direction outside the hospital lobby, a noisy sound wave came, with screams one after another, and many people turned around and ran back.

Qiao Sang's expression tightened, and she walked toward the source of the sound.

She saw a group of people gathered together, looking at something in horror.

Qiao Sang pushed through the crowd and saw the "little girl" from the basement level holding a man who looked like a dead dog.

Why does it feel like I've seen him somewhere... Qiao Sang looked down, her gaze landing on the man's face. After pondering for a while, her expression shifted slightly.

Good heavens, isn't this the man from earlier who lost two children but only showed a little fear?

The "little girl" threw the man in her hand out like a sandbag.

Many people watching this scene couldn't help but take out their phones and start recording.

Exclamations came from the crowd:

"Isn't this girl one of the twins sent here today?!"

"I saw it too! I remember, isn't this man her father?"

"Isn't this girl dead?!"

The man's face was painfully twisted. He glared at the "little girl" not far away with hatred and said coldly, "This is not my daughter! She has been possessed by a Ghost-element pet beast!"

Hearing this, the crowd showed expressions of astonishment and uniformly took two steps back.

However, no one left; clearly, the psychology of watching the spectacle had taken the upper hand at this moment.

The man was in too much pain to crawl up, but his hands could still move.

He struggled to put his hands together and began to form seals.

But just at this moment, he discovered that his hands seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, and no matter what, he couldn't move them!

Immediately after, a girl's crisp voice rang out:

"Oh my god! This girl has been possessed by a Latent Resentment Yunduo!"

The crowd suddenly became restless.

"Latent Resentment Yunduo? Isn't this a General-tier Ghost-element pet beast?"

"I remember that Latent Resentment Yunduo only possesses people who died miserably!"

"I know that too! It doesn't possess people who didn't die miserably enough!"

"Is this Latent Resentment Yunduo helping the little girl fulfill her wish?"

"But it's clearly hurting 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 beast..."

"... What do you mean?"

Many people looked obscurely at the man lying on the ground.

And the man stared fixedly at the figure who had first shouted out "Latent Resentment Yunduo."

"Xun xun."

Little Xunbao's eyes glowed with blue light, blocking in front of its Beast Tamer.

At this time, the "little girl" stiffly tilted her head, as if she had just learned to speak, popping out words one by one:

"Why?"
