Dollar opened its eyes and looked at him, before it closed them again in relief.
Narrowing his eyes, Luke stared at it. "Fine. It seems that you're still hoping for a fluke."
Selina was already sitting up. She looked at him strangely. "What's wrong?"
She knew that Luke was a man of principles.
They had lived together for so long, and he had never entered her room without permission. Even when he woke her up in the morning, he only did it at the door. He had never opened her door in the middle of the night.
"Put on your clothes and come to the living room," Luke said simply. "Bring Dollar out too."
Selina immediately got up.
She could tell from his expression that it wasn't a simple matter, or he wouldn't be so calm.
Sometimes, the calmer this guy looked, the more irritable he was on the inside.
Less than a minute later, Selina put on a simple T-shirt and came out with Dollar.
Luke waved his hand and gestured for her to sit down next to him, before he gave her the fake phone.
Selina was horrified when she took one look at it. She abruptly turned her head and looked at him. "You're actually secretly taking pictures of me?"
Luke put his hand to his forehead. "Look at this angle. You should know where the surveillance camera is, right?"
Selina was stumped for a moment. Then, she looked at the angle and immediately understood.
This angle was right at the door. She knew exactly what had been there before, and there definitely wasn't a surveillance camera.
So, it had just been installed.
The video had reached the crucial part. Something that looked like a semi-liquid extended out from Dollar's back and covered Selina's hand.
Suddenly, the thing retracted, and Luke said, "Come out! What are you hiding for?"
Looking at the situation, Selina's mouth opened wide. "What the hell is this?"
Luke hummed in response. "Now, we'll have to ask the dog itself."
Looking at Dollar, who was lying next to her, Selina subconsciously retracted her foot. "Dollar, sit over there."
Dollar immediately did as he was told, and sat down in the middle of the living room a few meters away from them.
Looking at Dollar's obedient behavior, Luke sighed. Such an obedient dog might not be able to keep it.
Selina turned her head and looked at him. "How do we make it come out?"
Luke shrugged. "If I say that I'll send it to some secret lab for dissection and research, will it be scared?"
Selina's eyes widened. "But what about Dollar?"
Luke spread his hands. "Why don't you try?"
Selina bit her lip and turned her head. "I don't care what you are, come out immediately."
As soon as he said that, an object suddenly appeared behind Dollar.
Like a flowing, semi-viscous liquid, it wriggled in the air and finally formed a … dog's head on Dollar's big head?
Luke couldn't take his eyes off her.
Selina was even more dumbfounded and dazzled.
A moment later, he nudged Selina with his elbow.
Selina finally came to her senses and subconsciously murmured, "It looks rather cute this way."
The liquid gave off a golden luster, and a dozen or so round and slippery tentacles extended from Dollar's back to form a golden dog head on Dollar's head.
But this dog's head wasn't as distinct as a normal dog's head; it was round and chubby.
The dog head's forehead was especially big, and the cheeks on both sides of its face were drooping long, giving it an air of foolishness. Its eyes were a white color that was somewhere between bone and jade, and it had no pupils or eyeballs. It was just a pair of slightly curved triangles.
Also, it didn't have a mouth; the mouth was just a decoration.
Overall, this golden dog's head looked … rather cartoonish?
Hearing Selina's praise, the Brain Gate dog's head, which looked like liquid gold, actually put on a happy expression and wriggled in excitement, looking very much like Dollar after it had been praised.
Luke and Selina looked at each other in bewilderment. What the hell was this? A liquid gold dog? Or was it a silly dog head?
In the end, Luke was a little more careless. He coughed and asked, "Who are you? Or should I say, what are you? "
A high-pitched imitation of Selina's voice rang out, but it was even lower and hoarser. "No comment."
The Brain Gate dog head turned its head away proudly and didn't even look at him.
Looking at its "arrogant" expression for a moment, Luke suddenly patted Selina. "You ask."
Selina: "Huh? Ask what?"
Luke: "My question just now."
Selina immediately repeated the question.
The Brain Gate dog head turned its head back reluctantly and looked at Dollar, which was under its head, before it looked at Selina. "My name is Devouring …"
It then paused and shook its head reluctantly. "Fine, Devouring isn't my name. I'm Gluttony. I'm a creature from a distant planet."
Selina's eyes widened. "An alien?"
Gluttony shook its head. "According to you, I can only be considered an alien creature. After all, I don't look like a human."
Looking at the golden dog head, both Luke and Selina subconsciously nodded. With a head like this, it could at most be considered a kobold.
Selina turned her head. Luke said, "Ask me why it's hiding in Dollar's body, and why both you and Dollar can eat so much."
Selina repeated the question at once.
Luke stared at Gluttony's face. Seeing that it was very reluctant, Luke immediately replied, "I escaped from a spaceship and transferred to a fish, where I met Dollar. It's very compatible with me, so I chose it. "
After a pause, Gluttony continued, "It's a big eater because I'm helping it digest food and strengthen its body."
Luke frowned.
He found it hard to believe that there was a free lunch in this world. "Will those creatures be hurt after you become a parasite?"
This time, Gluttony didn't need Selina to repeat the question. It already said, "Hey! I'm not a parasite! Apologize. "
Luke shrugged. "But aren't you a lot like the parasites here?"
Gluttony: "Apologize!"
Luke said, "Why don't you just treat it as a nickname?"
"Apologize!" The dog head glared at him fiercely.
Luke: "… Fine, I apologize. If that's not a parasite, what should it be called? "
Gluttony: "According to you, I'm a symbiote."
Luke: "Is there a difference?"
Gluttony: "I can make the symbiote creatures stronger and greatly increase their physical strength and vitality. Can a parasite do the same?"
Luke nodded, deep in thought. "Then why are Dollar and Selina so hungry? Can you have more than one creature at the same time? "
Gluttony shook its head and wagged its tail proudly. "I'm not like my people. They're very picky about their energy needs. If they don't have anything to eat, they'll devour the bodies of the symbiote creatures. Only I have a good appetite can sustain myself and strengthen the symbiote creatures by absorbing the nutrients from the symbiote creatures. "
