My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 81 Dreaming Moment
As night fell, Zhou Lu stood by the window, looking at the starry sky.

Hua Huo squatted on the windowsill and looked at the stars in the sky like Zhou Lu.

There are several books piled next to it.

It is already very intelligent, and after entering its growth period, it began to study characters seriously.

Fireworks has only one goal!
Communicate effectively with the owner.

But... looking at the books that Wu Xiaoqing gave to Hua Huo, Zhou Lu was very suspicious whether this would teach Hua Huo bad things.

Atlas of Poisonous Plants.

"The Perfect Poison in Life".

Well, if you think about it carefully, this can be considered as letting Hanabi learn in advance how to be a poisonous weed.

"I say, Sister Xiaoqing." Zhou Lu turned around and looked at Wu Xiaoqing who was busy at the side, and said helplessly, "Don't you have your own dormitory?"

Yes, it was said that she wanted to have a psychological dialogue with the Nightmare of Death, but the address Wu Xiaoqing chose was still her laboratory.

"Yes." Wu Xiaoqing said, "Isn't dormitory a standard feature of students?"

I forgot...

Although Sister Xiaoqing has her own independent laboratory, she is essentially still a graduate student at Xin'an Beast Taming Academy.

"I see." Zhou Lu nodded in understanding. "Are you worried that the power of the Death Nightmare will affect other students?"

I didn't expect that Sister Xiaoqing, who is so rough on weekdays, is so thoughtful.

"Ah, no." Wu Xiaoqing pulled out a folding nap bed from under the table. "I didn't think I would need that dormitory, so I rented it out."

"..." Zhou Lu was silent for a while, then he asked, "Then where do you usually sleep?"

"Of course I sleep here!"

Wu Xiaoqing immediately showed a proud expression and patted her folding bed: "Hehe, this way, I don't have to worry about someone stealing my mushrooms in the middle of the night."

Zhou Lu was speechless: "Who the hell would come to steal mushrooms in the middle of the night!"

"Really?" Wu Xiaoqing tilted her head in confusion, "But I often go to steal the Feiyu Beehives of my seniors in the middle of the night."

“???” Zhou Lu fell into a brief downtime.

"I can't help it." Wu Xiaoqing said, "Some mushrooms need beeswax as the base for cultivation. I left the honey for them."

"Okay..." Zhou Lu didn't know what to say.

"Come and help me." Wu Xiaoqing called to Zhou Lu, "We have to set it up quickly while there is still some time."

As he spoke, Wu Xiaoqing leaned over and fiddled with something on the ground.

Zhou Lu looked at the red mushrooms on the ground and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Little exploding mushrooms, second insurance. If you don't poison me awake, they will explode."

"Did it explode to wake you up?" Zhou Lu was full of questions. Why was this woman so cruel to him?

"No, blow up the building." Wu Xiaoqing said, "I can always wake up if the building collapses."

Zhou Lu was helpless. Why did he feel that in Wu Xiaoqing's eyes, this death nightmare was like a flood and a beast?

Although his name doesn't sound like a good person, he is also a loyal minister of the founding of the country, right? He is a mythical beast that has stood the test of time and war.

Of course, in recent decades, there has been considerable controversy in society about the mythical beasts in the Invalides.

The main point of controversy is that most of the mythical beasts in the Invalides are ownerless.

They were once the beastmaster's pets, but with the beastmaster's death, they became free again.

Many people feel that it is extremely dangerous for human society that such a powerful spirit beast has no beastmaster to control it.

Of course, among such public opinions, it is unknown how many people really feel it is dangerous, and how many people just want to put pressure on themselves to have the opportunity to contract a divine beast.

The Nightmare of Death is such an ownerless beast.

The official definition is absolute trust and care for these mythical animals.

But even if the divine beasts have owners, normal people will feel a little fear when facing them, let alone the divine beasts without owners.

Zhou Lu had never come into contact with such a mythical beast, and he could not criticize Wu Xiaoqing for being cautious. Seeing that Zhou Lu did not express any opinion, Wu Xiaoqing called Hua Huo to come over to help.

This is the kind of work that Hua Huo likes to do the most.

While helping, you can take a few mushrooms without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, Hanabi stuffed a few small mushrooms into her tail.

In the blink of an eye, it was the time Wu Xiaoqing had agreed with Death Nightmare.

Zhou Lu looked at Wu Xiaoqing lying straight on the bed and asked curiously, "Contacting a divine beast, this kind of thing should be a big deal, right? Why didn't anyone from the academy come to help?"

"College? People in the college don't know." Wu Xiaoqing said.

"do not know?"

"Yes, the nursing team said this is a confidential mission," Wu Xiaoqing said, "We can't tell anyone about it."

This is understandable. A divine beast without a master will have psychological problems. If this news were announced, it would definitely cause an uproar in society.

But, if it was a confidential mission, why would Jiang Shuqi take the initiative to mention it to me?
Doubt flashed through Zhou Lu's mind.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me." Wu Xiaoqing glared at Zhou Lu, "I don't sleep well to begin with."

Not sleeping well?

It seems that Sister Xiaoqing is under a lot of pressure in her research.

"Know..." Zhou Lu was about to say "Know" when he heard Wu Xiaoqing's regular breathing again.

Huahuo raised her flowers and said affirmatively: She is asleep.

What's wrong with your sleep!!!
Zhou Lu roared in his heart.

After Wu Xiaoqing fell asleep, the entire laboratory fell into a quiet atmosphere.

There is always a natural sense of fear in the laboratory building at night.

Zhou Lu sat aside, scrolling through his phone boredly.

Huo Huo stood on Wu Xiaoqing's body with great energy, and the most proud part of her chest just gave Huo Huo the opportunity to grasp it with his roots.

Following the instructions of her master, whenever there was something wrong with Wu Xiaoqing, Hua Huo would not hesitate to stuff the poisonous mushrooms on her "hand" into Wu Xiaoqing's mouth.

Wu Xiaoqing fell asleep like this.

After two or three hours, Zhou Lu didn't notice anything unusual.

He originally thought that the nightmare of death would pull him into the dream as well.

This way, he had the opportunity to contact the other party.

At least from the perspective of the system tasks, Death Nightmare should be a good person to me.

But what he imagined did not happen, and everything went on normally until midnight.

Seeing that the agreed time had arrived, Zhou Lu wanted to order Hua Huo to start working.

However, at this moment, Wu Xiaoqing suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

The movement was so fast that it startled Hanabi.

Before, Hua Huo had fixed herself on Wu Xiaoqing in that position.

When she sat up like this, Hanabi and she were in a very strange posture.

Wu Xiaoqing looked at the fireworks on her chest and complained, "You are very talented in that area, fireworks. I have some harmless chemicals that promote local fat growth. Would you like to learn more about them?"

This speaking style is very Wu Xiaoqing.

Just when Zhou Lu felt relieved, the system's voice rang out.

[Ding! The host is detected to be in contact with the Nightmare of Death, triggering an optional task. ]

[Optional mission: Assassinate the Nightmare of Death. ]
