Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 666: Why?

The hall suddenly fell silent, then erupted in even more chaotic noise than before.

“I knew there was something wrong with that man!”

“Call the police! Hurry!”

“But if she fell out the window scared by a wild pet beast, wouldn’t that still count as an accidental death? Maybe her grudge is directed at the wild beast?”

“Impossible. All those possessed by a Hidden Resentment Yodu never die in such simple ways!”

“Am I the only one worried those two contestants might be in trouble...?”

The audience once again fell silent, turning their attention to the dark and shadowy livestream footage.

The directing team, who controlled the virtual screens backstage, quickly cut over a dozen less-watched streams to enlarge the feeds from Contestants No. 98 and 113.

Frederbit General Hospital.

Basement Level 1.

Qiao Sang took a deep breath and calmly said:

“We leave first, then immediately evacuate the crowd. We're live right now. if anyone in the audience sees this, they’ll definitely help call the police.”

Leave professional matters to professionals.

Although Yabao might not necessarily lose to the Hidden Resentment Yodu, the destructive power of two general-level pet beasts clashing was massive, especially Yabao. This was a hospital, after all, if something went wrong, compensation would be sky-high. Qiao Sang didn’t want to do something thankless and exhausting.

The woman clearly shared the same thought. She nodded immediately.

“Okay.”

She didn’t move yet though, instead glancing toward Little Treasure.

Qiao Sang also looked at Little Treasure.

Little Treasure instantly understood his Beast Tamer’s meaning.

His eyes glowed blue, then he assumed a blank, dazed expression.

“Xun... Xun...”

Little Treasure seemed to sense something, lowering his head and looking toward the ground.

Qiao Sang suddenly had a bad feeling and looked down as well.

The lights were out nearby, only rough outlines of things could be seen in the dim.

But due to multiple rounds of spiritual feedback, Qiao Sang’s vision was still sharp. She clearly saw a thin, long black shadow attached to Little Treasure’s own.

No way... Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat. She traced the thin shadow’s path upward and saw that blood-stained white-dressed little girl.

“Have your pet use spatial shift, quick!” The woman saw they were still frozen in place and couldn’t help shouting in panic.

Qiao Sang stared at the little girl and said, “Can’t move. The Hidden Resentment Yodu used Shadow Control.”

The woman’s face changed drastically. She quickly looked down and, judging from the shadow contrast, indeed saw an unnaturally dark shadow!

Shadow Control, an advanced ghost-type skill. Not only could it manipulate shadows, but it also shared the effects of the Shadow Pin trait.

A beast caught in this control couldn’t be recalled, nor could it use any teleportation or spatial movement skills.

At that moment, only one thought echoed in her mind: We’re doomed...

The little girl twisted her head stiffly, then began to approach rapidly in a strange, eerie posture.

“Shadow Blades!” The woman gritted her teeth and shouted.

A gray shadowy mist suddenly separated from above her head, twisting and condensing into a pet beast wearing a smoking collar.

“Yan yan!”

The beast cried out, and several shadow-forged blades appeared midair, flying at the “little girl.”

The “little girl” flickered like a ghostly blur, dodging every shadow blade effortlessly.

Twenty meters... ten meters... In the blink of an eye, the “little girl” was already right in front of them.

Just one meter away from Little Treasure, Qiao Sang shouted:

“Water Gun!”

“Lu!”

Lubao sprang out from the backpack, opened her mouth, and fired a thick, powerful jet of water straight at the “little girl,” striking her dead-on.

The “little girl” instinctively crossed her arms in front of herself to block.

As she did, the shadow on the ground faded.

“Now!” Qiao Sang seized the timing and shouted.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Treasure’s eyes lit up blue again.

In the next moment, they vanished on the spot.

When the “little girl” lowered her hands, all she saw was an empty space.

“Resentment...”

The “little girl” tilted her head again. Then, as if remembering something, she sniffed the air and walked toward the elevator, pressing the up button.

First-floor lobby.

“That scared the life out of me...” The woman leaned against the wall, looking at the crowd, her heart still pounding.

Once she calmed down, she turned to Qiao Sang and said gratefully, “Thank you. If not for you, I probably wouldn’t have made it out today.”

Qiao Sang’s expression turned serious.

“Where’s the hospital control room?”

The woman blinked, then understood.

“There should be a PA system at the registration desk in the waiting area.”

Registration desk... Qiao Sang quickly scanned around, spotted it, and rushed over, saying urgently to the medical staff:

“Quick! Alert everyone to evacuate! There’s a Hidden Resentment Yodu on B1, and it’s about to come up!”

Qiao Sang’s youthful appearance didn’t inspire much confidence, but with Little Treasure by her side, something clearly not native to Chaosu Star, people instinctively felt this child came from a powerful background.

One nurse who was about to brush her off hesitated when she saw Little Treasure.

“Did you see it yourself?”

“Of course!” Qiao Sang nodded.

The nurse hesitated for two seconds, then pressed a button on the desk and spoke into the microphone:

“Attention, everyone. There is an emergency. Please remain calm and evacuate the building in an orderly manner. Thank you.”

Then, she dialed the emergency number.

Though most people in the hospital didn’t know what exactly was going on from the announcement, their expressions changed slightly, and they began to move outside.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang sighed in relief.

“Let’s go too.” The woman said, stepping forward.

Qiao Sang was about to agree but suddenly changed her mind. Calmly, she said, “You go ahead. I’ll stay.”

The woman asked in confusion, “Why?”

So many people forced to leave mid-treatment, there must be tons of negative emotional energy in the air. Perfect time to collect... Qiao Sang thought to herself, while righteously saying:

“Not everyone has made it out yet. I’ll stay until the police arrive. If anything happens, I can help.”

The woman’s expression grew complex. She patted Qiao Sang’s shoulder, didn’t say anything more, and left with the others.

Just then, noise erupted outside the hospital lobby. Screams echoed as people turned and fled back inside.

Qiao Sang’s expression hardened. She followed the source of the noise.

A crowd was gathered, staring in terror at something.

Qiao Sang squeezed through and saw the “little girl” from earlier, holding a man like a rag doll.

She felt like she’d seen him before... Her gaze dropped to the man’s face. After a moment of thought, her expression shifted.

Oh. Isn’t this the guy who lost two kids earlier but only seemed mildly scared...

The “little girl” flung the man away like a sandbag.

Many people who saw this pulled out their phones to start recording.

Exclamations burst out:

“Isn’t this the twin girl that was brought in today?!”

“I saw her too! That guy’s her dad, right?”

“Wasn’t she dead?!”

The man’s face twisted in pain. He glared bitterly at the “little girl” and said coldly, “That’s not my daughter. She’s been possessed by a ghost-type pet!”

Everyone gasped and instinctively stepped back a couple of paces.

But no one left, curiosity clearly outweighed fear.

The man couldn’t get up, but he could still move his hands.

He struggled to put his hands together, beginning to form a seal.

But then he realized, his hands wouldn’t move! It was like some invisible force was controlling them!

Then, a young girl’s crisp voice rang out:

“Oh my gosh! That girl’s possessed by a Hidden Resentment Yodu!”

The crowd instantly broke into murmurs.

“Hidden Resentment Yodu? Isn’t that a general-level ghost-type pet?”

“I heard they only possess people who die really horribly!”

“Yeah! If your death wasn’t tragic enough, it won’t even look at you!”

“Is it trying to help the girl fulfill her wish?”

“But it’s clearly hurting her dad...”

“I suddenly thought of something... What if those twins didn’t fall because of a wild pet...”

“...What do you mean?”

Many people glanced subtly at the man lying on the ground.

The man, meanwhile, stared daggers at the one who shouted Hidden Resentment Yodu first.

“Xun Xun.”

Little Treasure’s eyes glowed blue and stood protectively in front of his Beast Tamer.

Then, the “little girl” twisted her head again. As if just learning to speak, she slowly uttered:

“Why?”
