At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive...

Liu Yiran: "I have a relative who was the first auxiliary police officer to go to the scene yesterday. He said that when he saw Li Lu, she was naked, her bones were abnormally twisted, and there was a tattoo exactly like the one on her pubic area."

"I was wondering, is it really okay? She was the initiator of the script-killing activity, and she was the first to run away without making any noise. Moreover, the script we played was also a horror and weird one..."

Han Ning: "You're overthinking it... Don't make blind guesses. Wait until the police investigation report comes out."

As he typed these words, Han Ning began to think.

"It's really weird... This world is obviously not as peaceful as it seems."

He thought about some of the social news he had seen sporadically on the Internet in the past few months.

For some reason, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Liu Yiran: "I hope I'm overthinking it. Now that the project has stopped, it's just right for me to take a few days off to relax. Li Lu is usually a very good girl, but she's gone just like that. Alas..."

Han Ning: “Yeah…”

Liu Yiran did not continue to reply.

Han Ning sat in front of the computer desk, quietly eating his meal.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

Overtime is already serious in gaming companies. Six days a week, at least ten hours a day, I have to get along with these colleagues.

As Liu Yiran said, Li Lu has a cheerful personality and won't make inexplicable demands like some product managers. In addition, she is pretty and pretty, so at least 80% of the male colleagues in the project team are interested in her.

And now, his death without any reason has made everyone in the project team feel heavy-hearted, and they are inevitably depressed.

As my thoughts flowed, the icon in the lower right corner flashed again.

But it was changed to QQ.

A parallel world version of QQ.

As we all know, E-mail represents work, and QQ represents life...

"The me in the parallel world is better than me. I still have the mood to have an online romance under such circumstances."

When Han Ning saw the flashing cute puppy head image, a strange look appeared on his face unconsciously.

What's wrong with peanuts: "[狗祟祟.jpg]"

Less sugar, less spicy: "Is get out of class over?"

This netizen, whose online name is “花生什么柿了”, added the QQ number to his QQ two months ago through the QQ number left in the feedback column of the official website of another mobile game that his predecessor was responsible for maintaining.

At the beginning, she would complain about some bugs in the mobile game to her predecessor.

After that, the two of them gradually had more and more topics to talk about, and the scope of their conversation became wider and wider, and they became good friends who could talk about anything.

After getting to know her, Han Ning learned that she was a junior student at a local university and a soft girl who liked the Han style.

Peanut is so stupid: "Pighead, today is Sunday!"

Less sugar, less spicy: "Ah! There's been a lot going on lately, and I can't wrap my head around it."

Han Ning imitated his predecessor's way of flirting with girls and secretly felt that he had learned a lot!

Peanut: "What's wrong? I saw the local news today and it said that an employee of your company died for no reason. Is it related to this incident?"

Less sugar, less spicy: "You are well-informed. To be honest, she is my colleague in the same project. We have a good relationship. In addition, she has been working overtime frequently recently. She is exhausted both mentally and physically. She is almost bald..."

Peanut is not a persimmon: "[Picture, a gray-haired old man waving his arms, was spoofed into a picture of a 28-year-old programmer wielding great power.] Hug~ Even if you are bald, I won't dislike you~"

Peanut: "Are you tired? Let me sing a song for you~"

What's wrong with Huasheng: "【Voice 60s】Yeah yeah yeah, aren't you coming yet, young master..."

"..."

Hearing the strange girl's voice coming from the voice chat, Han Ning didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, the complex emotions I had just felt after coming here were somewhat calmed down by this strange music.

He took out the Pixiu jade pendant from his chest again, placed it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it carefully, and made a decision in his heart.

"My current mental strength... has been suppressed to about level two by an unknown force."

Yu Yang frowned and sensed his own mental power.

The spiritual world disappears completely, but the spiritual power is still available.

"There must be dirty things in this world. I can't contact Yin Yi, Dan Bing and the others now. I have to go to the pet market tomorrow and find an animal to try out the beast-taming inheritance in the jade pendant. I have to recover some strength first and be able to protect myself..."

……

hum~ hum~ hum~

hum~ hum~ hum~

In the morning, Han Ning was awakened by the rapid vibration of his cell phone.

In a daze, he reached out to the bedside table, half-opened his eyes, and swiped the answer button.

"Hello? Aze, what's the matter with you looking for me so early?" Han Ning closed his eyes and said in a lazy tone.

"Come to Haicang Police Station right now, Yiran, something's happened!"

A solemn voice came from the other end of the phone: my colleague Zhao Zeyan.

"Well, I see."

Han Ning, who had his eyes closed the previous second, immediately opened his eyes and sat up instantly.

Coming out of the police station, Han Ning looked serious.

The colleague who was chatting online last night turned into a cold corpse when he woke up.

According to the police, Liu Yiran died of suicide.

At seven o'clock this morning, Liu Yiran's girlfriend found him hanged in the living room when she went to the bathroom.

"Li Lu... Yiran... the next victim... I'm afraid it will be someone else." He recalled the strange encounter yesterday. If he didn't have a certain amount of mental strength and the jade pendant to save him, he would be the one lying dead on the street this morning.

"There's no time... We must hurry."

Han Ning's eyes were full of determination.

Lucheng East District, the largest local pet trading market.

As the largest pet trading market in the city, more than 60 kinds of pets are sold here.

There are cats and dogs that are popular among the public, as well as parrots, tropical fish, skinks, corn snakes, etc. that are sought after by niche players.

Han Ning came here to find a pet he liked and to sign a contract with.

Pet cats are too lazy, parrots, skinks, and pet snakes are too small...

After careful consideration, he wanted to buy an obedient dog or a strong and healthy rooster.

The idea that black dog blood can ward off evil spirits is a fabrication by film and television screenwriters, but dogs are the most functional of pets, have a high IQ, and can help their owners complete many auxiliary tasks, making them the top priority.

Using a rooster as an alternative adds a touch of superstition. The crowing of the Pleiades star at dawn to ward off evil spirits has been a tradition since ancient times.

With this thought in mind, Han Ning walked to a dog-selling stall.

In the cage in front, a few chubby Pomeranians scratched their paws on the iron frame, stuck out their tongues and stared at every passerby with wide eyes, trying to capture the hearts of passers-by with their cute eyes and buy them home.

"Pomeranian? Too small. No."

Han Ning shook his head and continued walking forward.

"Little brother, what kind of dog do you want to buy? I have everything from small ones such as Pomeranian, Yorkshire Terrier, and Teddy to large ones such as Shepherd, Polar Bear, Alaskan... " At this time, an enthusiastic dog dealer stopped Han Ning.

"Do you have a dog that is relatively obedient, doesn't bark, and can guard the house?"

"Rottweilers, Scottish Huskies, and Golden Retrievers all meet your requirements. Of course, if your budget is limited, our local dogs are also good companions."

As the dog dealer spoke, he picked up a puppy, golden retriever, and stuffed it into Han Ning's arms.

"Woof~" The little golden retriever blinked its big watery eyes, stared at Han Ning pitifully, and made a whimpering little sound from its mouth.

"It's pretty good. How much is it?" Han Ning asked casually.

"This little golden retriever has a very pure bloodline. I'll charge you 3000 for it." The dog dealer said readily.

"3000? That's a bit expensive." Han Ning put down the golden retriever and was about to leave.

Suddenly, he glanced at the corner of the stall and saw a small local dog squatting in an iron cage, not making any noise.

It had short black hair all over its body, except for its eyebrows, cheeks and limbs, which were covered with light yellow hair. It was chubby and sat there quietly, watching the passers-by without barking.

Han Ning walked to the iron cage and squatted down.

Eyes facing each other.

stare……

The little dog looked at the strange human in front of it and finally couldn't help but let out a soft howl, stuck out its tongue, and stared at him curiously.

"Little guy, call out." Han Ning opened the cage, held it in his arms, and carefully teased its nose.

"Woof?" The puppy stuck out its tongue and licked Han Ning's fingers, then raised its little front legs and kept pulling at his arm.

Han Ning stroked the dog's head, and the puppy lay quietly in his arms with a comfortable expression on its face.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how much is this?"

"Oh? You have good taste, little brother. This is a four-eyed iron-covered gold one. It's 2000!"

"It's a bit expensive, a little cheaper."

"This... All the dogs here have been vaccinated against canine distemper and parvovirus, so the price is absolutely fair."

"1000." Han Ning didn't listen to his nonsense.

"1800!" The dog dealer gritted his teeth.

"1000." Han Ning remained unmoved.

“How about this? I’ll charge you 1600. I’ll basically have no profit.” The dog dealer sighed.

"..."

After some bargaining, Han Ning finally bought the puppy for 1300.

The stall owner also gave away a few bags of dog food and a set of dog walking tools.

After buying the dog, Han Ning put the little guy into his bag and carried it on his back. Then he went to the nearby Chinese medicine wholesale market to buy the rest of the ingredients for the culinary expert's secret medicine.

These auxiliary ingredients are all Chinese herbal medicines with cold properties and are not difficult to find.

After buying a series of materials, he prepared to go home.

When he passed by a store that specialized in selling reptiles, the dormant mental power in his brain suddenly moved and he felt a familiar breath.

"This breath... is omelette!"

Han Ning took a deep breath. As he had been with his soul beasts day and night, he immediately recognized the source of this aura.

He walked decisively into the store, looked around among the various reptiles, and finally fixed his eyes on a small and exquisite white snake.

"..."

Han Ning's expression became interesting.

He carried the cage containing the puppy, approached the reptile cage, and looked directly at the little snake in front of him.

The little snake is gray all over, and its eyes are the color of ruby.

At this moment, it also blinked its eyes and spit out its tongue wildly at Han Ning.

Eyes facing each other.

There was almost no communication, and we immediately understood that we were the right people!

"Omelet!" Han Ning greeted in a low voice.

"Hiss!" Egg Pancake blinked its snake eyes and turned around on the plastic crawling pole.

"Boss, how much is this snake?"

"3, no bargaining."

"Bought it!"

After paying the bill quickly and walking out of the store with a series of reptile supplies, Han Ning immediately opened the reptile cage and put the omelet on his arm.

Even if the pancake body was fully spread out on his arm, it was only one arm's length.

The ferocious dragon that was so majestic and powerful in the Amethyst World that destroyed the continent, turned into a delicate little snake here that even a child could sit on to death.

Yu Yang tried to probe his mental power into the egg pancake's brain.

shuh~

In just a moment, his blurry spiritual world reappeared.

However, only the stars at that moment of the omelet were shining with a faint light.

At this moment, the only bright light is a weak grayish-white halo.

"Omelette! Are you okay now?"

"Hiss~chichi!"

The pancake shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he was very weak now! He couldn't even exert the strength of an ordinary person.

"Egg Pancake and I are just like each other, only our spirit body traveled here. Then the other little guys should also be in this city. We must find them as soon as possible!"

After finding the egg pancake, Han Ning felt better. He gently stroked the little snake head of the egg pancake.

"It's okay. Just like before, I will lead you and make you stronger step by step."

“Hiss…chi!”

Just as the man and the snake were communicating, the puppy sitting in the dog cage on the ground let out a shrill cry.

"Wang Woo!"

"Oh... forgot about you."

Han Ning looked at the little dog at his feet and decided to try to use the local beast-taming heritage to see if he could sign a contract with it.

"Perhaps... this is a way for me to regain my strength."

Next.

According to the description of the blood-colored Pixiu, he put the cooking expert's characteristics and herbs into the pot and adjusted the timer.

He ran to the living room and played with Omelet and the puppy to enhance their friendship.

About 30 minutes later, a faint fishy smell came from the kitchen.

Han Ning put the puppy down and the omelet was wrapped around his neck like a necklace.

He walked into the kitchen and saw a pool of bloody, sticky liquid in the iron pot.

"Is this the secret medicine of the culinary expert? It looks a bit like uncoagulated pig blood..."

After secretly complaining, Han Ning poured the secret medicine into a porcelain bowl, took a sharp fruit knife, and walked to the puppy.

He looked down at the fruit knife, his face trembling slightly, and he cut his left wrist hard.

"hiss……"

Tick ​​tick tick~

The blood slid down the wrist to the ground.

Han Ning quickly picked up the puppy, put his wrist to its mouth, and whispered, "Little guy, don't move."

"Wow~"

The puppy resisted at first when tasting the fishy human blood, but Han Ning's right arm held it tightly and his right palm gently pried open its mouth, making it difficult for it to escape.

Unable to resist, the puppy could only swallow Han Ning's blood bit by bit.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Ning endured the severe pain, picked up the porcelain bowl with his bloody left hand, and drank the secret medicine in the bowl.
