Chapter 98 Flood Dragon!? Taming the Water Monster

On the way to the patrol car, Liu Feifei seized the opportunity to pinch Bai Yu's arm and said, "You recovered so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch~ That hurts! Ah~"

Liu Feifei was startled, but then realized she had been tricked and pinched Bai Yu hard.

"Ugh! Does it hurt?"

"My shoulders are sore, want to get a massage?"

He then felt the soft yet just-right pressure and praised, "Not bad, here's a bottle of Red Horse Herbal Potion for you."

"Ouch~ Ouch~ It hurts!"

Feeling the pleasant atmosphere within the team, Bai Yu was in a very good mood.

Whew~ I just went through a disaster yesterday.

But the enemy's advance did not stop, and he had to compose himself and continue on his journey!

The Black Demon Ancestor, the Blood Kirin Case, and the Mysteries Near Thunder Lab

The smuggling case, the Jiang Monster case, the rebellion of cultivators of the Ancient God system, and the Ancient God of the Moon case mentioned in the underworld intelligence report.

There's a ton of stuff waiting to be done!

Of course, he's gotten used to this kind of life now and is looking forward to digging all these things out one by one.

On the way to Yunhu Lake.

Li Yunbin talked about the black blood pregnant woman case that had occurred recently, and the number of victims had clearly increased dramatically.

"What I've heard recently is that when this case occurred in the north of the city more than half a month ago, the East China Sea Institute of Extraordinary Gods sent several professors in related fields to start investigating the matter."

"According to the information we have gathered so far, this evil god behind the case is not appearing for the first time."

"These professors have a considerable understanding of this evil god."

"We're in contact with Director Yang and will try to get the relevant research data as soon as possible, which might be helpful to you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu became interested.

He remembered that one of his intelligence reports had mentioned a mysterious organization, the Alien God Research Institute!

To be precise, it was in the intelligence report about the Black Blood Blade mentioned in the Yunhu serial murder case that the signature was: [Researcher at the Alien God Research Institute - Yan Yongxin]

The Dark Progenitor is considered an ancient god-like being; it's unclear whether this organization is responsible for him.

But regardless, the authorities must have built a large database of information about this kind of evil god with a historical background!

Thinking of this, Bai Yu said, "To be honest, although this page of my book is related to the power behind the Black Blood Pregnant Woman case, I really have no idea who the enemy is. If I could have some relevant information, it would be much better."

"Hmm, Director Yang should be able to get the relevant information. Right now, with you performing so brilliantly, the big shots watching you behind the scenes will be pulling strings."

"Don't praise me too much, or I'll get arrogant, haha."

I was also curious about what information I could get.

With the information, will I be able to obtain more important intelligence?

South bank of Yunhu Lake.

When Bai Yu and the others arrived, they were all stunned.

This isn't a lockdown! The entire cordon is packed with people! It's practically a bustling market!

They're all just there to watch the spectacle.

But there's nothing we can do.

These deep-sea behemoths are absolutely irresistible to most people.

"Look! It looks like officials have arrived!"

"How will the authorities handle this? Will they just kill him?"

"I don't know."

"However, such a big creature is a bit scary! If it's kept, I'll never dare to go near Cloud Lake again."

"The two lakes are connected, and now we can't even go to Qinghu Lake. The tourism economy will be severely impacted!"

Bai Yu and the others crossed the cordon.

Seeing so many people, it was clear that the truth could no longer be concealed. Bai Yu couldn't help but ask, "Captain, this water monster incident has become such a big deal, with so many people watching. What have the higher-ups said about how to handle it?"

"The higher-ups said to let us do whatever we want."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu suddenly had an idea and asked to confirm, "Really? What if people around see us? It'll be fine?"

"It's alright. After all, these people already know about the water monster. As long as we prevent it from unleashing its supernatural powers in front of the crowd, it'll be fine. Unless our superiors order us to kill it outright, how can we possibly conceal it?"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu already had an idea brewing in his mind.

The group arrived at the south bank of Yunhu Lake. Looking at the deep blue water, Bai Yu thought of the Jiang Guai case mentioned in the information from the underworld messengers.

However, the Jiang Guai case is ranked ninth, so it's clearly impossible for it to happen so quickly.

The river monster and the cloud lake beast should be two different things.

However, they may be related in some way!

Li Yunbin exchanged a few words with the team members responsible for monitoring underwater movements.

"Where is that catfish creature now?"

"Reporting, Captain, we are about 500 meters from the lake shore. Our approximate location is..."

As he spoke, the man pointed to a topographical map of the lake.

Bai Yu looked over.

"Isn't this the place where Bai Ling was born?" he exclaimed in surprise.

Upon seeing this, Liu Feifei muttered, "What kind of auspicious place is this, with both a Longjiang woman and a catfish spirit?"

Just as everyone was considering how to release Bai Ling and get rid of this troublemaker, a minivan drove into the cordon.

Bai Yu looked over in surprise.

Isn't this something they're supposed to handle? He still wants to show off his skills!

Who knew the authorities would send people over again.

What are they planning to do here? Kill them?

The black car quickly stopped, and a researcher in a white coat got out, followed by several other people.

Bai Yu looked at this person and felt that he was somewhat familiar.

I remember now! I saw him at the auction yesterday.

Li Yunbin clearly recognized the man and said, "Hello, Professor Lin!"

"I heard there's a catfish spirit at the half-step Spirit Origin Realm in this Cloud Lake?"

"Yes, it's in the lake."

"Do you have a video? Let me see it!"

Professor Lin's tone was clearly excited. He stared intently at the screen, and seeing the catfish spirit's enormous size and somewhat clumsy appearance, he became even more excited!

This is definitely a friendly spirit beast, perfect for me to raise.

Professor Lin didn't waste any time and said directly, "I have prepared special anesthesia equipment. The current plan is for you to assist me in luring this catfish into the trap, then anesthetizing it, and then transporting it away in front of everyone."

"After you've finished handling this, draft an announcement and publish it in the Tianhai City News."

"In short, this catfish is a genetically mutated species, similar to obesity in humans. It has already been taken to the laboratory for research, so there is no need for people to panic."

"After the research is completed, it may be released back into the wild."

"What do you guys think?"

Li Yunbin and the others did not answer immediately.

Bai Yu, however, drew out his words: "This...this..."

Professor Lin, acting as if he knew Bai Yu very well, said, "You brat, what's going on here? Tell me, what kind of trick are you up to?"

"Huh? You know me?"

"Nonsense! Old Wang keeps mentioning you in the group, especially yesterday."

At this point, Professor Lin's excitement instantly subsided.

"Anyway, I was present at the entire auction yesterday and kept an eye on you. You did quite well!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's first thought was: Damn it! What exactly did Professor Wang Wen do? Is he the most talkative person in the professors' group? He's always gossiping everywhere, and I bet he's been saying a lot of bad things behind people's backs.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu said, "Our plan is to use another spirit beast to tame that catfish demon."

"Oh? Another spirit beast? What spirit beast? Spirit beasts have a strong sense of territory, and they can easily fight each other. With so many people watching, if things escalate, that wouldn't be good!"

Yesterday, even at the height of Bai Ling's battle, she was shrouded in a cloud of white mist, and few people saw her true form.

It seems that only the deceased Night Demon knows of the dragon's existence. However, Bai Yu believes that he will keep it a secret for him.

In the eyes of others, Bai Ling is at most a special summon, just like Long Jiang Nu.

Bai Yu glanced at the other investigators, considered for a moment, and thought to himself: I should talk to the professor alone.

Without any hesitation, he pulled the professor aside. Professor Lin, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, asked, "What are you up to, kid? What's the matter? Why are you being so secretive?"

Bai Yu whispered in his ear, "A white dragon."

Professor Lin's eyes widened, his expression one of extreme ecstasy!

Holy crap! I've lived all these years and I've never seen a living dragon before!

"Where is it? A dragon-like creature, at least tens of meters long, right? How do you plan to transport it here? Can I study it? Don't worry, it's pay-per-view."

"Soul state".

"Huh? A soul?"

Professor Lin's smile vanished instantly, and he seemed somewhat disappointed.

His field is the study of spirit beast entities.

He prefers large, tangible mythical beasts.

Within the sea of ​​souls, Bai Ling's disgruntled voice rang out: "Hmph! You look down on me!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu awkwardly touched his hair.

He could roughly sense Professor Lin's personality; he was somewhat similar to Professor Wang Wen.

The difference is that Professor Lin is a social terrorist.

Professor Wang Wen is a big shot with an eccentric temper and a relatively narrow social circle, but once you get to know him, he becomes similar to Professor Lin in temperament.

Professor Lin continued, "So, what do you plan to do after you successfully subdue it? Will you hand it over to me? Selling it is also fine, but the price can't be too high, since you don't actually own the spirit beast. It's just like you've tamed it for me."

"Professor Lin, you don't understand the extraordinary environment of Tianhai City! Our Tianhai City has a large water area, which makes it easy for aquatic alien races such as fishmen to hide. I was thinking of leaving this catfish spirit here to help patrol the waters."

"In fact, after domestication, it can be turned into a tourist attraction, allowing people to come into contact with these giant creatures. This would not only reduce suspicion but also achieve a desensitization effect."

"Besides, didn't you just say that you would release it back into nature after the research is complete?"

What he was thinking was to cultivate a catfish spirit in Yunhu in advance, so that he could study the underwater conditions!

That way, we can quickly deal with the river monster.

After listening, Professor Lin thought for a moment and said, "The higher-ups have indeed relaxed their control over the extraordinary world a lot. Regarding how to deal with this catfish demon, they haven't given any instructions; it's been quite arbitrary."

"In fact, if it is tamed to a relatively docile degree, it can indeed be released back into Cloud Lake."

"You said you'd tame the white dragon on the spot and then let it continue to live in this Cloud Lake. That's something I hadn't considered before I came. But it's not impossible."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's eyes lit up.

There might actually be a chance!

It seems that the exposure of the extraordinary world is happening faster than I imagined.

"Yes, that news was indeed from a year later."

"But that's just what we see from a news perspective; it doesn't mention the progress of understanding the supernatural realm around the world."

Seeing this, Bai Yu said, "If I can successfully tame it, then there's no need to capture it. Otherwise, wouldn't it feel like we're trying to hide something? Letting this catfish spirit live openly in Cloud Lake, occasionally showing its face, would make your report seem more credible."

"That's possible, but we should at least see if you can actually do it. What if I agree, but you fail to tame it and then try to kill the catfish demon?"

"Cough cough, it shouldn't be that bad."

Bai Yu then asked, "By the way, Professor, do you have any extra docile spirit beasts? Why don't you put them in Cloud Lake to help patrol the waters? It would be a contribution to society."

"Hey! You got that catfish spirit with just a few words, and now you're asking me for a spirit beast?"

"Just asking. If not, then forget it, no pressure."

"So, do you know what else I'm here for besides catching catfish?"

"What are you doing? Arresting someone?"

"Now I understand why Lao Wang's evaluation of you was so special. I came here—oh, I think I just mentioned it to you—to write an announcement. Without data, how am I supposed to write it?"

"Make it up! Experts can just spout nonsense! Creating something out of nothing is what makes you seem so capable! Besides, according to my plan, I just need Professor Lin's help to write up a report that this catfish spirit is equivalent to an eighteen-year-old adult, with an exceptionally high IQ, and can communicate amicably. Aren't those reports about the spirit beasts displayed in aquariums all written like that?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Lin smiled.

Okay, okay! You're comparing me to a roadside latrine expert, aren't you?

He patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and said, "Good lad! I'll remember you."

"Forehead"

"Let's go with your plan. However, there's still a high risk involved in letting untamed spirit beasts come into contact with humans."

"Don't pandas hurt people too? Besides, if this mythical beast is intelligent and docile, the probability of it hurting people will only be lower."

"That's true. I'll consider how to write the report for my superiors."

Professor Lin seemed very approachable.

"Of course, Professor, you can set the trap now. If this catfish is temperamental and unruly, we can either lure it into the trap or kill it on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Professor Lin fell into a long silence.

"Next time you'd better finish what you've said at once! I'm already mentally prepared to painfully cut things off."

After saying that, Professor Lin prepared to make the arrangements.

Liu Feifei excitedly patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and said, "You really are a master at taming professors."

Professor Lin turned around and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"Liu Ruoxi".

Bai Yu's eyes widened: You two are just fake besties, aren't you??

I wrote it down in my little notebook.

Professor Lin was a magnanimous person and didn't pursue the matter further before going to busy himself with setting up the trap.
