Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

In the split second that Gu Ling's heart stopped, the excited and tense shouts of Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost rang in her ears again—

"Meow!" Is this the big bad cat?!

"Heh heh heh!" A deranged murderer and body-burying maniac has appeared!

Gu Ling swiftly scooped up Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost who were trying to jump over to "punish" the big bad guy, then immediately turned around and ran away!

"Hello, is this 110...?"

"Officer! I'm reporting a pervert here... no, I mean, a suspected pervert who buried a body and committed murder... He's crawling in the shadows on the ground... Ah yes, yes... the location is..."

"..."

Half an hour later.

Inside the police station.

A police officer stared intently at the man burying the body across from him, his tone stern: "Mr. Xu, have you realized your mistake?"

Half an hour ago, the disheveled man who was suspected of being the perverted body-burying man was now cowering and timid, completely devoid of the creepy aura he had when he crawled on the ground in the shadows. He kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, officer... I'm really sorry... I realize my mistake..."

Gu Ling, sitting next to him, also looked a little embarrassed. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Just half an hour ago, Gu Ling was facing someone who was very likely a psychopathic killer who buried bodies. Moreover, she had been living nearby for the past few days, so her first reaction was naturally to call the police.

After receiving the report, the police station immediately dispatched officers.

Just as the police arrived and subdued the disheveled man, suspected of being a "perverted murderer and body burying maniac," and went to the small park to search for any suspicious burial sites...

The result was nothing.

The "perverted killer who buried the body" was initially confused, but when he was interrogated about where the body was buried, he was completely dumbfounded.

After a series of investigations, it was discovered that the slovenly man was named Xu Changqing, 33 years old. He was not a psychopath who killed and buried bodies. His main job was to play various fierce, terrifying, and bloody NPCs in haunted houses or suspenseful horror movie crews.

The reason he crawled on the dark and twisted ground late at night was because Xu Changqing had recently taken on several new jobs and wanted to find the feeling of a perverted killer, so he put on an "impromptu performance".

The local residents were somewhat aware of Xu Changqing's unusual profession.

When Gu Ling first saw Xu Changqing scare away a group of children, it was actually because Xu Changqing wanted to get into the mood and offered the children a box of candy as payment to help him liven up the atmosphere.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xu Changqing said apologetically, putting his hands together in prayer.

Although it was just a misunderstanding, the police still gave a few more words of criticism and education for such an "impromptu performance" on the street late at night that could so easily frighten people.

"You need to be more careful in the future. It's good that you're conscientious and responsible at work, but luckily tonight it was a young girl with strong physical and mental resilience. What if she had frightened an elderly person or a pregnant woman passing by and caused them serious injury?"

Xu Changqing, feeling both satisfied and ashamed, continued to apologize, "Yes, yes... I'll definitely be more careful next time!"

Originally, Xu Changqing often performed his "improvisational acts" on an old stage nearby. Passersby would just assume it was a performance and wouldn't pay any attention to it.

But tonight the lights over there short-circuited, and the stage was pitch black. It wasn't safe for children to run around on it, so Xu Changqing changed his position.

After changing locations, unlike the stage where one can be confined in a square, children can run around freely and make a mess, ending up on the main road.

What was even more unexpected was that... unfortunately, Gu Ling saw it and immediately called the police. Now, this misunderstanding has led to a police station.

The police officer looked at Gu Ling, who was sitting there in a daze, with concern and sympathy: "Look at that little girl, she's so scared of you that her face has turned white."

Gu Ling: "..." Is it possible that I'm naturally fair-skinned, and the light makes my face look even whiter?

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm sorry, little sister." Xu Changqing apologized again, his tone full of guilt.

Gu Ling immediately shook her head: "I was also wrong, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you..."

"Alright, just be more careful next time. You can go back now."

"Remember this, you can't act so recklessly again..."

After giving him a reprimand, the police released him immediately.

"..."

After Gu Ling and Xu Changqing walked out of the police station one after the other, Gu Ling spoke up again: "I'm sorry, Uncle Xu."

Xu Changqing waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. It's my fault for scaring you so late at night. Your little pet was also quite frightened. I'm the one who should apologize."

At this moment, Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost both looked listless, hanging on Gu Ling's body as if they were limp.

Gu Ling's lips twitched slightly, and her voice was somewhat hesitant: "They were just..." actually very excited.

Now, both Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost look dejected, not because they're scared, but because they regret not encountering a real villain to uphold justice...

Since they lived in the same neighborhood and along the same route, the two decided to walk back together.

Halfway there, Xu Changqing laughed and said, "But Xiao Ling, your safety awareness is pretty good. You called the police immediately when you encountered bad guys..."

"I think I acted pretty convincingly, right? Now I'm relieved. I probably won't mess up the job I finally got."

Xu Changqing was a very talkative person, and he chatted with Gu Ling about many things along the way.

While Xu Changqing kept mentioning something about "haunted houses at amusement parks," Gu Ling happened to have been to an amusement park that day and casually asked:

"Uncle Xu, is the haunted house you're going to tomorrow the one in that newly built amusement park? When I went there today, it was still closed."

"Yes, that's the one, they pay more there..."

At this moment, the mischievous boy's eyes lit up when he heard that he wouldn't be arrested and locked in a dark room for scaring people, and that he would even get paid.

Going to an amusement park and getting scared by others in a haunted house is nothing compared to the fun of scaring others yourself!

The mischievous ghost floated over and excitedly circled Xu Changqing several times, hehehe~ This sounded so fun, the ghost wanted to try it too~

Xu Changqing looked at the suddenly excited mischievous boy with some surprise: "What's wrong with your pet?"

Gu Ling explained helplessly, "Uncle Xu, the mischievous ghost is a ghost-type pet that especially likes to scare people. It admires you because it heard about your profession."

"Oh? Really? Hahaha... It's nothing, I was just an extra." Xu Changqing smiled sheepishly.

He was just an extra trying to make a living; compared to real actors, he was nothing special.

Xu Changqing invited, "If you're interested, you can certainly come and have some fun."

Gu Ling's eyes lit up slightly: "Really?"
