Chapter 258: Sheep's Head
"Don't kill me, I can tell you more valuable information."
Chen Xing shook his head, "I'm not a police officer. What use is your information to me? Besides, you're so weak, I'm not at all interested in your information."
"???"
The masked man couldn't believe it, me, weak?
No one had called him weak in many years, and this was the first time someone had called him weak.
Being able to become a Super Rank Beast Tamer at this stage would be considered a top-tier talent in Great Xia.
I am a Super Rank Beast Tamer! A Super Rank Tamer from the Second Layer Heaven!
Except for those stronger than me, who isn't called 'sir' when they see me on a daily basis.
But these thoughts merely circled in his mind briefly before dissipating. The masked man hastily said: "I am willing to surrender all my treasures in exchange for my life! From now on, I dare not oppose you; once I return, there will surely be substantial...
"Bang!"
His head burst,
Sìxiàng crushed his skull.
The mask shattered, and red blood stained the white mask.
Casually flicking his claws, he stepped behind Chen Xing.
Chen Xing stepped forward and searched the body, taking a storage bracelet from beneath his sleeve.
"Foolish! Killing you, all these would have been mine anyway!"
As for promises of substantial rewards once back home, Chen Xing didn't believe them at all. This guy started by disrespecting the martial code, having his Beast Taming attack him secretly.
He had dodged based on instinct, but who knows how many shelves had been sliced apart.
He didn't know how much money it would cost, probably just a deduction of Academic Credits.
But he himself was also an unintended casualty who helped the school resolve an invader of unknown identity, so they probably wouldn't deduct his salary, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Xing felt somewhat frustrated.
Both man and beast were about to return to the real world.
Suddenly, a sound came from behind.
Thud—
It sounded like a finger tapping on a table.
Deep and resonant.
The sound seemed distant yet as if it were right beside them.
"The sound is coming from behind the door." Sìxiàng said gravely.
Chen Xing heard it too.
He had known that there was something stored behind the warehouse guarded by the spirit of the mountain rocks.
But he had never expected to hear sounds coming from the Dark Realm as well.
Because living beings from the real world never appear in the Dark Realm.
The two realms are like completely unrelated rivers, clearly distinct.
"Let's go."
Chen Xing had Sìxiàng grab the masked man's corpse and was just about to return to the real world when
that door suddenly opened.
Thick black mist gushed out from the doorway.
"Let's go quickly." As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Sìxiàng grabbed him and instantly left the Dark Realm.
In the last second before leaving, Chen Xing vaguely saw what seemed like a giant sheep head opening its eyes and staring straight at him.
There wasn't time for a closer look; Sìxiàng had already brought him back to the Main Plane.
The Main Plane, the door at the far end of the warehouse was tightly closed as if what was seen in the Dark Realm had been merely a dream.
Old Qin, hearing the commotion, came into the warehouse with security guards, and after they propped up the shelves, Chen Xing handed over the corpse of the masked invader to them.
"This is..." Old Qin hesitated as he looked at the corpse in front of him.
"An invader. I don't know his identity. To prevent further damage, I had to take him down." Chen Xing said.
Old Qin looked at the remains of the masked man, "That's good too. I'll report this back to the school, and they might have someone come to question you."
Chen Xing said, "Old Qin, the invader caused damage to the warehouse. When the time comes, whatever needs to be compensated, we will compensate."
Seemingly knowing Chen Xing's concerns, Old Qin shook his head, "You're the victim. How could we make you pay? The school doesn't have such a rule."
"Don't worry, once we verify his identity, the school will seek compensation from his backing power."
"Classmate, we observed the scene and found only traces of a wind blade, but the wounds on his body..." A security guard came over, questioning the suspicious points found at the scene.
"To prevent damage to the warehouse, I pulled him into Different Space at the first moment of the fight, so it's normal that you didn't see any traces of the battle." Chen Xing said.
The two security guards looked at each other, having heard of Different Space for the first time.
Without traces of the battle on the scene, how would they write the material report?
They had heard of Different Space, but had never experienced it.
"Could we... perhaps visit Different Space to take a look?" one of the security guards tentatively asked.
"Yes, seeing Different Space would help us write the report."
"Different Space isn't safe right now, it seems like something has changed in there, possibly related to something deep inside the warehouse." Chen Xing, pointing somewhere deep inside the warehouse, said, although he didn't know what that something was.
But his instincts told him it was dangerous.
It's better not to enter the Dark Realm now, of course, if they really insisted, then Chen Xing would just have to send them in.
The two security guards exchanged a glance, "Let's just let the higher-ups go instead."
...
After this incident, visiting Dong Jun to observe the evolutionary form was also temporarily not possible.
The leadership of the academy took this matter very seriously, and soon several academy leaders arrived, among them, Chen Xing saw Dean Huang and Director Huang.
But among these people, it wasn't Dean Huang who was in charge, but another tall, thin middle-aged man, whom others referred to as Dean Ran.
He must be the actual dean of Bei Zhai Academy.
After listening to what the security had summarized, Dean Ran furrowed his brow and then gestured for Chen Xing to come over, dispersing the others around them.
"Please repeat what you just said."
Chen Xing repeated his previous statements, and Dean Ran stared at him, "Are you sure you aren't lying?"
"Every word is true."
Dean Ran pondered, others might not know what was inside, but he was well aware.
