At that point, Voracious's head suddenly broke away from the liquid tentacle and bounced on the ground before it jumped back onto the tentacle. "See? I'm the only one who can live in symbiosis with two creatures at the same time. None of my people can do it. "
Luke narrowed his eyes. "Then you're very compatible with Selina, which is why you're living together with her?"
Gluttony paused for a moment before replying hesitantly, "No, her compatibility with me isn't that high. It can only be said to be passable. But there's a kind of energy in her that's very suitable for me to absorb. "
"Energy?" Luke frowned. "What kind of energy? It's not fat, is it?"
Voracious said, "It's not fat. The energy comes from her entire body. I don't know what it is, but after living in symbiosis with her, I can absorb this kind of energy from her body. It's more to my liking than regular food. "
"So, you didn't touch the fat in her body, but simply absorbed the energy?" asked Luke.
Voracious nodded. "Yes."
Luke pondered for a moment before he asked, "So, you also think the energy in her body is … delicious?"
Voracious nodded quickly. "That's right. The energy in her body is like barbecued pork and roast pig, while the dog food you fed me was like popcorn. "
Luke turned his head. "You also fed Dollar barbecued pork and roast pig?"
Selina lowered her head in shame. "I wasn't paying attention, and it swallowed the barbecued pork in my hand. Fine, it also stole the roast pig's bones. "
Luke was lost for words for a moment, but didn't pursue the matter. He turned back to interrogate Voracious again.
The interrogation went on for almost an hour.
Voracious had been a little impatient at first.
Luke took out the unfinished barbecued pork and roast pig from the fridge and put them on the coffee table. "Answer my questions properly, and you'll have good food. If you don't, you'll eat air. Deal? "
"Deal!" Voracious nodded without hesitation, and withdrew its liquid body back into Dollar's body.
Dollar suddenly spoke in Gluttony's low voice. "We still have to rely on it to eat. But I can help it digest everything, so don't worry about it having diarrhea. "
Hearing that, Luke couldn't help but glance at Selina. Was it fate that the three of you were together? Why were they so enthusiastic when it came to eating?
After he was done asking questions, he put the remaining barbecued pork and suckling pig into Dollar's food bowl. He pulled Selina to the side and quickly typed out a message on his fake phone for Selina to see.
After Selina saw it clearly, she pointed at herself suspiciously and said silently, Me? Can you ask it again? "
Luke nodded. "I'm going to be with it anyway. There's no harm in trying."
Selina thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The next day, Luke and Elsa didn't go to the police department. They simply called Elsa and told her that they were going to investigate the case.
Luke went out to investigate cases and did some shopping.
Gluttony Dog lived up to its name. Gluttony was its specialty.
After it revealed its true identity, it openly demanded that Luke provide it with delicious food that was high in sugar and salt.
Luke couldn't be bothered to wait on it. He put all the meat in the grill and told Selina to feed it when it was time.
Gluttony wasn't a picky eater. It ate happily and cleared out all the ingredients in the fridge in half a day.
Receiving Selina's call, Luke could only return home early and go on a shopping spree at the supermarket.
As he shopped, he smiled bitterly. This was going to be bad. There were three gluttons in his house, and one of them was a bottomless pit of gluttony from another planet.
Thankfully, he had money.
As he slowly pushed two carts of ingredients and food into his car, he thought to himself that he needed a big freezer at home, the kind that could at least store a cow.
Selina wouldn't be able to leave the house for the next few days.
Luke had entrusted her with the important task of teaching Gluttony, the alien dog, basic knowledge.
While it had been cautious before, it hadn't been cautious enough.
Since it didn't know much about technology, it had been easily caught by Luke's cameras.
Secondly, it had told Luke some of its abilities, which tempted him.
So, he wouldn't hand it over to anyone before he decided what to do with it, so he had to make sure that it didn't give itself away.
Now that he thought about it, the FBI agents in the mountains probably hadn't been searching for a fugitive, but for Gluttony.
It was only natural that the FBI would be interested in such an amazing alien creature.
In fact, those FBI agents might not even be real FBI agents. It was more likely that they were members of a special division like Wales and Flegg.
Because of Gluttony, the alien dog, Luke didn't have much time to work on the case. Most of the time, he could only search for information on his side job at night.
But two days later, a call from Elsa summoned him to the police department.
When he walked into the office, Elsa looked up and immediately dropped the pen in her hand. "Have you been in trouble recently?"
Luke was at a loss. "No."
Elsa glanced at him for a moment before she said, "If you're in trouble, you can tell me, including Selina's."
Luke was even more at a loss. "Huh?"
Elsa said, "I just hope that you're not trying to kill someone. Selina hasn't seen me in ten days. What do you think is going on? "
Luke: "…"
Elsa said, "You're still young, but it's necessary to take safety measures. I can pretend that I didn't see anything, but what if someone else sees through you? "
Luke said, "… Boss, thank you for your concern, but you're overthinking. Selina's fine. It's just that she brought a dog from her hometown who grew up with her. It's not in a good state right now, so she's been taking care of it more recently. "
Elsa was stunned. "That's it?"
Luke spread his hands. "I'll have her report to you tomorrow. You'll know when you see her for yourself."
Looking at his face, Elsa realized that she was probably overthinking things. She coughed awkwardly and said, "Okay, I need you to go."
Luke pretended to listen attentively.
"Do you remember William Johnson's widow, Margaret?" asked Elsa.
Luke only had to think for a moment to remember who it was.
William Johnson, the mafia boss and real estate businessman, was the guy who lured out Rebecca, a female assassin from the Brotherhood, and was shot in the head through the sunroof of his car.
Rebecca was also an extraordinary assassin who almost blew up Luke's head.
Luke had a deep impression of this incident.
He nodded and said, "She's a USC art student, right?"
Elsa nodded. "She's in trouble recently. Go and take a look."
Luke asked, "Is it very troublesome?" It probably wouldn't be easy for him to deal with it.
Elsa sighed. "What else could it be? Someone still hasn't given up on the mess William left behind, and set their sights on her. But she only suspects that someone is following her, and it's impossible to build a case, so she came to me. "
