"Here's your breakfast. Big Sister Mu is such a good person. She even bought a set for you. Why aren't you thanking her?" Early in the morning, Ai Tutu saw that Mofan had woken up from his sleep. Thus, she immediately carried a fragrant breakfast to entice him.
Mofan didn't hold back and ate it.
"You're getting more and more impolite," Ai Tutu said unhappily.
"How's the investigation of the Shadow Beast going?" Mofan casually asked.
"If I don't tell you, don't even think about stealing our fruits. Let's just say it like this. This Shadow Beast can no longer escape from our palms!" Ai Tutu said as she patted her heavy chest.
"Actually …" Mu Nujiao thought for a while and said seriously, "Actually, I feel that this test isn't just about finding the Shadow Beast."
"Why do you say that?" Mofan asked.
Mofan didn't have any thoughts of finding the Shadow Beast. The Black Vatican had already made a move against him, and it had even implicated Xu Zhaoting.
Xu Zhaoting had been captured, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. This was something that Mofan was more worried about.
"Dean Xiao is right. Only by bringing the Shadow Beast to the school's Iron Beast Taming Cage can the mission be considered complete. In other words, even if we capture the Shadow Beast, the mission isn't considered complete, "Mu Nujiao said.
"Big Sister Mu, you're saying that the school doesn't care who finds the Shadow Beast, nor does it care who catches it. What they care about is who brings the Shadow Beast to the school's Iron Beast Taming Cage … Then, as long as one person catches the Shadow Beast, it's like a football. Everyone will fight over it!" Ai Tutu said.
"Yeah. So, before we capture the Shadow Beast, we have to consider this important factor, "Mu Nujiao said.
"In the end, the Shadow Beast is probably just a trigger. In the end, it's still a fight between students!" Ai Tutu suddenly realized.
Mu Nujiao's analysis made Mofan suddenly realize.
So, when the time came, he could just go and snatch it. Why would he spend so much effort to find the Shadow Beast?
… …
After breakfast, Mofan went to the hospital where Zhang Lulu was.
On the other hand, Zhang Lulu's body was recovering well. Healing magicians could quickly heal wounds that didn't reach her bones.
However, Zhang Lulu's mental state was quite poor. She couldn't eat anything and her eyes were red. She was obviously worried about Xu Zhaoting.
Mofan sent her back to her residence and asked her why they were there.
"We were originally planning to find some students from other departments to form a team to search for the Shadow Beast. However, after Xu Zhaoting bumped into someone in the washroom, his expression changed. Thus, he kept following that person, who also looked like a student. Following them, I found that there were some black and ugly things around them. At that time, I wanted to persuade him to leave, but he didn't listen to my advice at all. He still chased after them. "Zhang Lulu said.
"Student?" Mofan frowned.
Could it be that the Black Vatican's influence had already infiltrated into the Pearl Institute? Or perhaps, they already had some pawns in the Pearl Institute, and only gradually surfaced during this mission?
Mofan felt that the latter was more likely. The Pearl Institute's management was very strict. There was no reason for the Black Vatican's people to infiltrate so easily.
"Yes, they said that they wanted to make a move against you, but they were afraid of the school and the Magic Courts. They could only find some methods that wouldn't easily expose their identities." Zhang Lulu said.
"Methods that wouldn't easily expose their identities …" Mofan lowered his head and pondered.
"I don't know the specifics." Zhang Lulu said.
"You should rest well. I will think of a way to find out where they brought Xu Zhaoting." Mofan said.
"Let's inform the Magic Courts …" Zhang Lulu said.
The only organization that could effectively fight against the Black Vatican was the Magic Courts. The strength of a normal person would not be able to contend against the Black Vatican, who could control Dark Beasts.
"We can't do that for now. Once the Magic Courts make a move, the Black Vatican's people will most likely give up on this plan. Once they decide to stop, we really won't be able to find Xu Zhaoting anymore." Mofan said.
Zhang Lulu didn't say anything. She really didn't know what to do.
… …
After Mofan left, Zhang Lulu fell asleep.
She was half asleep and half awake. When she was awake, images of those ugly and ferocious Dark Beasts would appear in her mind. Even when she was asleep, those monsters would appear in her dreams.
In Zhang Lulu's opinion, there was nothing in this world that was more terrifying and annoying than Dark Beasts. Even the stench emitted from their bodies seemed to faintly linger around the tip of her nose.
Zhang Lulu opened her eyes. Her gaze was lifeless.
The room was pitch-black. The curtains of the window were half-drawn. The light outside the room scattered onto the carpet. It was cold and cheerless.
Smell??
Zhang Lulu suddenly woke up, and her body felt as if it had fallen into icy water.
Heavens, why is there the smell of those things in my room?!
At first, Zhang Lulu thought it was just her imagination. However, when she sniffed the air, there was clearly that smell.
"Clang clang"
Suddenly, the sound of something being knocked down came from the corridor.
Zhang Lulu was scared out of her wits. She immediately jumped up from the bed and ran out of the room barefooted. She ran towards the roof of the building.
The smell was getting heavier. She could even hear the sound of footsteps. Zhang Lulu looked down through the gap between the stairs. She saw a group of strange shadows wriggling around.
It's those monsters!
Zhang Lulu didn't dare to hesitate. She ran towards the roof as fast as she could.
She was very clear that she would definitely die if she stayed in the room. If she ran towards the roof, she could still escape by following the roofs of the residential buildings.
She ran to the roof. It was the middle of the night. There weren't even any pedestrians on the street, let alone the roof that was filled with all sorts of things.
Just as she ran to the water reservoir on the roof, the wooden door that led to the roof was brutally smashed open.
In an instant, three or four Dark Beast Monsters charged out. They licked their sharp teeth. Their eyes emitted a greedy green light. The stench they emitted was so disgusting that it made people want to vomit.
"Gugugu"
Zhang Lulu was just about to jump towards the roof of another building. However, she suddenly discovered a Dark Beast Monster that was covered in a dense dark cursed aura standing there.
This Dark Beast Monster looked even uglier. That was because its face still seemed to be stuck with skin that hadn't completely rotted. Even the blood could be seen clearly.
Zhang Lulu almost fainted. She already had nowhere to run.
"Gugugugugugu ~!!!" The small group of Dark Beast Monsters that came from the corridor didn't immediately move. They only cautiously looked at the Dark Beast Monster that was covered in the cursed aura.
The Dark Beast Monster covered in the cursed aura slowly crawled past Zhang Lulu. Its pair of red eyes were filled with hatred and anger. Its mouth even let out a hoarse and terrifying roar.
The target of the Dark Beast Monster with the cursed aura didn't seem to be Zhang Lulu. Instead, it seemed to be the small group of Dark Beast Monsters!
Zhang Lulu was stunned.
When she discovered that the Dark Beast Monster with the cursed aura was roaring and pouncing towards the small group of Dark Beast Monsters, she didn't dare to believe her eyes.
They were actually not together?
