You call this beast taming?

In Beijing, a detached villa.

The bright room was covered with a large number of thick books and reference books on an exquisite carpet.

History, relics, ancient steles...

Wearing a white T-shirt, Shen Qingci held her phone, raised her slightly haggard but exceptionally delicate face, and lazily stretched.

"Netherworld Flower..."

How did it end up being transplanted to the city?

As she walked to the desk, her impressive figure was faintly visible.

"Ku..."

A supernatural creature made entirely of metal, walking on two legs, and topped with a metal wolf-shaped head walked up to her, holding a cup of coffee in its hand.

Taking the coffee, Shen Qingci smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Ling."

Zero-type Silver Wolf nodded silently and walked to the side to continue his vigilance.

The pink-calyx puppet, with a humanoid appearance but green skin like a plant and a pink flower on its head, tidies up the books and documents scattered on the ground.

A small, jet-black kitten walked gracefully to Shen Qingci's side and gently rubbed against her ankle.

Meow~

Shen Qingci smiled, her eyes crinkling, and picked up the little black cat, gently nuzzling it as she said:

"Xiao Ling, what gift should I choose for my junior brother?"

Standing to the side, Zero-type Silver Beard Wolf remained motionless, just like a robot.

"Meow~" The little black cat stuck out its tongue.

Qingci, you've been considering this for three or five days now, haven't you? Can't you choose one?

"Hmm..." Shen Qingci ruffled the little black cat's head in annoyance. "Fine, those two will do. Higher-level ones won't be of any use to him."

Being a senior female student is tough; every time the master accepts a student, she has to choose a gift.

"Oh, right," Shen Qingci suddenly said, "Xiao Ling, Dr. Xiao and the others are in the Jianghuai area recently, aren't they?"

The Zero-Type Silver Pivot Wolf emitted the sound of mechanical gears turning, and its eyes projected an image similar to a computer screen, connecting it to Dr. Xiao, whom Shen Qingci had mentioned.

...

Jianghuai City.

Put away the "Netherworld Flower" and give it to Ge Jun first, then he will help pass it on to the senior sister.

As for matters inside the factory, they were handled by Captain Liu and Captain Gu, who arrived late.

"You can do that?"

Wen Zhixu was somewhat taken aback when he saw his senior brother Ge Jun hand over the so-called "reimbursement form" to Captain Liu.

"Didn't that brat Gong Yunzhou teach you? Everyone works hard to earn money, so you need to learn to use the rules properly," Ge Jun said with a smile.

Teacher Yang Pingjiang encouraged his students to be self-reliant. While he didn't offer them any support, he also helped them acquire a large number of strange and unusual "abilities".

Judging from the fact that Captain Liu accepted the "reimbursement form" without any surprise, they were clearly used to it.

In any case, Wen Zhixu and Ge Jun were the ones who put in a lot of effort, so this so-called "reimbursement" is completely insignificant.

Moreover, police stations and other departments have dedicated funds for offering rewards or thanking others for their help.

The police and the people are one family.

Listening to Ge Jun's "teachings", Wen Zhixu nodded solemnly.

I really learned something new this time!

So, that 80 yuan taxi fare from last time should be reimbursed, right...?

"Speaking of which..." Wen Zhixu hesitated before speaking, holding Erliang, who was exhausted and already snoring.

Ge Jun clearly understood what he wanted to say, and said with a serious expression:

"The appearance of the 'Netherworld Flower' here certainly needs to be investigated. Leave this to me."

It might appear in textile factories, and possibly in other parts of Jianghuai City as well.

Although the "Netherworld Flower" attracts a large number of ghost-attribute supernatural creatures, posing a great threat to ordinary people, it can indeed help save time by eliminating a large number of ghost-attribute supernatural creatures at once, saving the trouble of searching for them one by one.

Wen Zhixu nodded.

Given the strength and ability of Fifth Senior Brother Ge Jun, he should be able to solve the problem better than him.

But then he had another idea.

"Since the 'Netherworld Flower' has such an effect, why not use it to gather all the ghost-attribute supernatural creatures in the city?" Wen Zhixu asked.

Ge Jun smiled.

"We won't do the transplant."

If left to grow unchecked within the city, it's impossible to know how many or how powerful the ghostly supernatural creatures will be attracted. It might even attract creatures from outside the city, which would only cause more trouble and potentially even greater destruction.

"Too..."

In fact, the appearance of the "Netherworld Flower" confirmed a guess among Wen Zhixu, Ge Jun, and other people who were paying attention to this matter.

The incident of ghost-attribute supernatural beings entering the city was man-made!

Although the cause may have been the escape of a powerful ghost-like supernatural creature from Jinling City, that escape might very well have been man-made.

The matter involved was too deep and too broad. Wen Zhixu considered himself a nobody who wasn't even a formal beast tamer, so he decided not to get too involved and left it to the higher-ups.

Judging from the powerful beast tamer we encountered in the suburbs last time, who was identified by the system as "Mikoli," it seems that powerful beast tamers in Jianghuai City and even the surrounding areas are all working hard.

I just hope it ends soon...

...

The next day, during lunch break, we went to the cafeteria.

"Ah Xu, you don't know, electric mice may look small, but their appetite is really..."

Appetite?

Wen Zhixu glanced at the two ounces on the table, his eyes twitching slightly.

I was exhausted yesterday, but it seems I've made further progress in my mastery of the "fire of life," but as a result... my appetite has skyrocketed!

"Ugh!"

Ah Xu, have some more rice!

Two ounces of food licked the plate clean and then cried out.

It's almost impossible to fill a small creature's stomach and provide it with enough nutrition with just ordinary food.

At this moment, Wen Zhixu missed the Energy Cubes terribly.

Just then, his phone rang.

When I took it out, I found it was an unfamiliar number.

After hesitating for a moment, I pressed the answer button.

"Wen Zhixu?"

A somewhat aged but strong voice came from the phone.

"Uh, yes, that's me. May I ask...?"

"I am Xiao Yunqiao. I have been asked by Shen Qingci to deliver something to you."

Senior Sister?

Wen Zhixu was stunned.

The delivery arrived so quickly?

"Do you have time now?" Xiao Yunqiao asked.

I glanced at my phone.

There's still time for lunch break.

"some."

"Okay, I have some things to take care of. If you have time, could you please come and pick it up? I'll send you an address; it shouldn't be far from your school."

Soon, I received a location message.

Located in the suburbs, it is indeed not too far away.

"Okay, coming right away."

After saying a few words to Yuan Jingfan and greeting the homeroom teacher, Lao Wang, I grabbed Erliang, who was still asking for more rice, and ran out of the school gate.

"Ugh!"

I'm still not full! I'm still not full...

"The name Xiao Yunqiao...it sounds familiar..."

...

The taxi drove all the way to the outskirts of the city.

Upon arrival, Wen Zhixu discovered that the location was in a field with no road, and he could only get there on foot.

However, not long after they left, the sky suddenly darkened.

It's the middle of the day, yet the sky is turning dark?

They immediately realized what was happening.

It is a solar eclipse.

It was predicted on the news a week ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Waaah! Waaah!"

Suddenly, the two ounces on his head became excited, tugged at his hair with their claws, and pointed to the sky.

Ah Xu! Look! Look! A celestial dog is eating the sun!

Wen Zhixu smiled helplessly, looking up as he said, "Yes, yes, this solar eclipse is actually a full-blown solar eclipse..."

But before he could finish speaking, he froze.

All I saw was...

Near the bright sun in the sky, a huge shadow appeared, and the outline of the shadow really did look like the head of a celestial dog.

As the "heavenly dog" opened its mouth, the sunlight was gradually obscured.

"It really is a tengu... eating the sun?!"
