Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

"Was that guy just knocking on Lin Zhixuan and Meng Li's dorm room door? Could he be some kind of relative...? He doesn't seem like it..." the man muttered to himself as he went upstairs.

As she passed by dormitory 307, her gaze lingered briefly for two seconds: "Lin Zhixuan... I haven't seen him much lately..."

Of all the people on the floor, Lin Zhixuan was the most boisterous, visiting other people's rooms almost every other day.

"I guess he's sick and doesn't have much energy..." The man didn't pay much attention and went straight back to his dormitory.

Unbeknownst to the man, after he left, a dark and ghostly shadow, like a will-o'-the-wisp, drifted in through the closed window of the deserted dormitory room 307.

The shadow circled around inside the dormitory twice before drifting out the window again.

downstairs.

Li Rui looked up at the descending shadow and said softly, "Wandering Soul Messenger, I'm counting on you."

Ghost-type pets, known as Wandering Soul Messengers, are highly sensitive to the soul aura of every living being. They track down and pursue these beings across vast distances by using the unique magnetic field left behind in places where these beings frequently reside.

"Hook~"

The body of the wandering spirit sank into the ground, and from the surface, only a dark shadow could be seen.

At this moment, the dark figure moved in one direction, and upon seeing this, Li Rui immediately followed.

There are many people in the city, so to avoid attracting attention, Li Rui always has the wandering spirit messengers take secluded routes or use various objects to conceal their whereabouts.

After about ten minutes, seeing that he still hadn't found anyone, Li Rui caught a glimpse of a row of shared bicycles on the street, scanned one with his phone, and sped up.

"Lin Zhixuan has been quite active outside these past few days..." After being led around by the Soul Reaper for almost half an hour, Li Rui vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Li Rui had memorized all of Lin Zhixuan's information.

Lin Zhixuan came to Liuyun City four years ago to work and earn money. He would occasionally send money back to his parents in his hometown. He did not have a fixed place to live in Liuyun City and had changed jobs several times.

Logically speaking, a working person like Lin Zhixuan, after finding a job to make a living, would leave early and return late every day, and his activities would basically be confined to a two-point line, without wandering around aimlessly.

Finally, the Soul Reaper led Li Rui to a place near an amusement park.

"Shengxing Amusement Park..."

Li Rui glanced at the entrance of the amusement park and remembered that the information showed Lin Zhixuan was an employee of Shengxing Amusement Park.

"He took leave? But he's still in the amusement park?" A hint of doubt flashed in Li Rui's eyes.

The information indicated that Lin Zhixuan had taken leave from work, which is why Li Rui didn't come to the amusement park immediately. However, he was brought to this area by the Soul Reaper.

After parking the shared bicycle on the roadside, Li Rui continued to follow behind the Soul Reaper.

However, the Soul Reaper circled the amusement park's perimeter wall twice before continuing to float down along it instead of going in directly.

At that moment, the two investigators who had split up sent a message.

"Suspect No. 9 was at home last night and did not stay at the beach park, so he can be ruled out as a suspect."

"Suspect No. 4 was at the company last night and did not stay at the beach park, so he can be ruled out as a suspect."

Upon seeing these two messages, Li Rui's gaze deepened for a moment.

...Now, all that's left is Lin Zhixuan, whom I've been investigating.

Li Rui's fingertips twitched slightly as he replied to the message:

"I'm tracking Lin Zhixuan's whereabouts. He's not in the staff dormitory right now. One person is keeping watch there, and the other is coming to Shengxing Amusement Park."

After sending the message, Li Rui was about to put his phone away when he hesitated for two seconds and then sent another message:

"Find an opportunity to enter Lin Zhixuan's employee dormitory, collect Lin Zhixuan's DNA sample, and send it for testing."

Li Rui had met some people who used shapeshifters for disguise. These people all had one thing in common: their instinct for disguise was ingrained in their bones. No matter what they faced, they would subconsciously want to disguise themselves and hide in the crowd.

Their biggest weakness is precisely what they believe to be a flawless "disguise".

"..."

……

At the amusement park.

After seeing off the last group of haunted house visitors, all the staff breathed a sigh of relief.

As we left the haunted house, the distant roar of machinery could be heard.

Gu Ling looked in the direction of the sound and saw a construction site. Some dilapidated and out-of-place old buildings stood there, and several excavators were operating.

"Uncle Xu, what kind of construction project is that over there? I don't think I heard any machinery yesterday?" Gu Ling asked Xu Changqing, who was standing next to her.

Xu Changqing explained, "Oh, that's the site the amusement park is preparing to expand. They've taken over a piece of abandoned old town and plan to demolish it and rebuild new amusement facilities."

"Because there are more customers during the day, we are worried about making too much noise, so we usually carry out construction at dusk or when it is just getting light."

"However, that will probably have to wait until next year. If you have time to come and play again next year, you'll probably be able to see it."

"Really? If I have time next year, I'll definitely come and visit." Gu Ling was a little surprised. The amusement park was already big enough, but she didn't expect it to continue expanding.

Xian Jiu stared at the excavators with shining eyes: "Meow~"

What a cool excavator!

Beastmaster, could you go over there and get a better look?

Xian Jiu excitedly poked Gu Ling's palm, her face full of anticipation.

Ever since watching the animated series "Black Cat Sheriff," I've noticed that Black Cat Sheriff is very skilled at using various vehicles, and his movements are stylish and cool, including using an excavator.

So, Xianjiu "brainlessly" fell in love with excavators.

Gu Ling gently pinched Xian Jiu's fidgeting little hands and said helplessly, "There's construction going on over there, so we probably can't go."

Why do you want to go everywhere?

If she weren't holding Xianjiu right now, she probably would have run over there immediately.

Xu Changqing reminded him from the side, "It's best not to go there recently. Several old buildings are slated to be demolished. If the machines can't handle it, they'll probably have to apply for explosives or have pet animals do the excavation."

"If you accidentally go there, you might get caught in the crossfire."

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, Uncle Xu."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

"..."

Xu Changqing had to work the night shift, so after chatting for a few minutes, he left first.

"Did you hear that? You can't go that way." Gu Ling held up a finger and tapped Xian Jiu's little head.

Xianjiu isn't afraid of any repercussions, since it can run fast anyway.

But then Xianjiu thought to herself, her own beast tamer has such thin arms and legs, he really won't be able to run fast, and he'll be smashed into a meat pie, right?

Xian Jiu sighed softly: "Meow~"

To prevent the Beast Tamer from being smashed into a meat pie, I'll make a small sacrifice and go watch the excavator instead.
