My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 123 Fireworks Night Work at the Ghost Building (Additional Update 23)

Night fell.

This should have been the ghosts' favorite moment.

However, today, this ghost-keeping cottage appears exceptionally clean.

rustle.

rustle.

There was a rustling sound in the corridor, accompanied by the occasional tinkling of metal - the sound of keys colliding.

The ghosts trembled and huddled in the corner.

Starting in the afternoon, a terrifying demon descended upon the mountain cabin.

It has countless tentacles that wriggle wantonly under the dim light.

It captures all the ghosts along the way and stuffs them into a green pocket.

Behind the devil, in that huge green pocket, countless ghosts were twisting miserably.

Click click click.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a key opening the door.

Squeak-!
The door was opened a crack.

The next second, an egg covered with unknown patterns was rolled up by a tentacle and thrown in.

The ghosts trembled in panic.

This foreshadows the coming of the demon.

Hanabi opened the door of the room and found that there were no ghosts surrounding Benben.

It scratched its hat in annoyance.

The ghosts were so scared that they didn't dare to have any desire to attack, so they ignored Benben's "taunting".

Hanabi put up her vines, looked around the room, and announced: [I'm here to clean the room!]
All the ghosts were silent, not daring to make any sound.

uh-huh.

Since these ghosts don't bother me, there is no need to catch them.

Hanabi crawled into the room with her roots and began to clean happily.

Xiao Caocao is in a good mood today.

At the end, it did not forget to use mucus to wax the wooden floor.

Squeak.

Hua Huo rolled up Ben Ben and crawled towards the door.

It was dragging a vine bag behind it.

Inside the bag are ghosts who have given up struggling.

Hanabi, catch all the troublemakers.

After Xiaocao left, the hiding ghosts cautiously poked their heads out.

Just when they wanted to congratulate each other for surviving, the door was suddenly opened.

A seal hat poked out from the crack of the door: [Don't make it dirty, I'll come check it later.]
After saying this, Hua Huo left with peace of mind.

In the study on the first floor, Zhou Lu was looking through Professor Ouyang's research materials.

The ghost dragon's tail feathers were placed in front of Professor Ouyang, with a stone emitting a blue glow underneath it.

This is the ghost stone that Xiao Xi mentioned.

Ouyang Xun kept flipping through the information and the only time he spoke was when he asked Zhou Lu about the whereabouts of the ghost dragon's original body.

After the contract of death was reached, the ghost dragon attached itself to the tail feathers. Even if its body was destroyed, it would no longer have any effect on it.

So after returning to the academy, Zhou Lu took some time to visit the secret realm of mountains and rivers.

He buried the little tit's body on the mountains, which was considered as a return home for the little tit.

Ouyang Xun did not show much regret about this. Instead, he took out a magnifying glass and looked carefully at the tail feathers, and then continued to look through the information.

It seems like there is some huge secret hidden in this?

Zhou Lu recalled what he saw and heard in the cave.

I didn't feel anything unusual at the time.

"Don't take it to heart, that's how teachers are."

Jiang Shuqi, who was standing next to him, said softly.

"He always forgets himself when doing research, and he would unknowingly complete his students' research." Jiang Shuqi recalled her student life, with a slight smile on her face. "Speaking of which." She looked at Zhou Lu again, "Did you know about Lin Dong's disappearance?"

finally come.

Zhou Lu's heart moved.

Lin Dong was, after all, a rising star in beast taming, and with his huge fan base, his disappearance had attracted everyone's attention.

During the days when Zhou Lu returned, this case was being hotly discussed on all the online forums he could access.

So during those days, whether to relax or to avoid the spotlight, Zhou Lu did not show up at all.

Looking back at the entire process, Zhou Lu suddenly felt that he seemed to have left many loopholes.

There's no way. This is the first time I do something like this. Even though I've been extremely cautious, there are bound to be omissions.

But he had already made up all sorts of plausible reasons for it.

The most important thing is that he has no apparent connection with Lin Dong.

But what surprised Zhou Lu was that the investigators did not even seem to visit the relevant personnel.

Gradually, the matter came to an end.

Now, apart from the fans who are still clamoring, the official definition is that he is missing and is still under investigation.

Zhou Lu immediately understood that perhaps because an immortal was involved, someone had stopped the further investigation of the matter.

Zhou Lu was still surprised when Jiang Shuqi suddenly brought up this matter.

Fortunately, he has always been good at managing his facial expressions.

"I heard about it." Zhou Lu said calmly, "I had a beast duel with him, and the ghost dragon won."

The state of the titmouse's tail feathers has clearly shown that Zhou Lu has reached the Pact of the Undead, so Zhou Lu did not hide it completely.

Sincerity is sometimes the best disguise for lies.

Zhou Lu was telling the truth and naturally had a clear conscience.

"I didn't expect him to disappear." Zhou Lu said, and even maliciously speculated, "Is it because I defeated him?"

Jiang Shuqi adjusted her glasses and smiled, "Maybe it's true."

She seemed to want to say something, when at this moment, a black ghost suddenly appeared before her.

Jiang Shuqi was obviously startled, and the book in her hand fell to the ground.

[Ding, mission failed]...

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Zhou Lu's ears.

This is the system prompt for failing to kill Jiang Shuqi.

Before Zhou Lu could react, a net bag quickly caught the ghost.

[Master! I'm done cleaning! ](*^▽^*)
With a bountiful harvest, Fireworks happily showed off her achievements to her owner.

That green pocket woven with vines is filled with all kinds of ghosts.

I don’t know if I can learn a few skills this time.

Zhou Lu thought to himself, leaned over and rubbed Hua Huo's hat, and said with a smile: "Then let's take a rest first."

Huahuo patted the leaves to show that she was not tired.

As it spoke, it loosened the constraints of its pocket and released all the captured ghosts.

The ghosts rushed out like the wind and disappeared into the darkness in a short while.

It's as if he's running away from some scary guy.

Hanabi looked at the escaped ghosts and adjusted her hat.

What an interesting look...

Do you want to catch it again?
Benben sensed Hanabi's thoughts and immediately shook wildly to express his dissatisfaction.

Its vibration formed some kind of resonance with the vines of fireworks, and it actually made a sound like a rattle.

This caused Hanabi's tail to transform into the tail of a rattlesnake.

"I understand!"

At this moment, Ouyang Xun slammed the table suddenly.

He looked at Zhou Lu excitedly and said, "Let's set off tomorrow! Let's go there and take a look!"

"Huh?" Zhou Lu, who was preparing to settle his remuneration, was a little dumbfounded.
