'The pets at the pet shop are humans?'
Looking at the large cages and the weak souls trapped inside them, Han Fei was overcome by a sense of absurdity.
He had seen humans keep animals as pets before but this was the first time he had seen a human being treated as a pet by an animal.
There was a sign hanging on each cage, which recorded the age, obsession, and personality of the remnant soul in the cage in detail. It looked very professional.
Han Fei had Weep release the vet from the urn. Once the vet in the old white coat appeared at the pet shop, his face paled.
"Why are you really here! Leave now! It hasn't discovered you yet! If you don't leave now, you won't have the chance anymore! "The vet did not dare to speak too loudly. He gripped Han Fei's shirt tightly.
"Can the souls in the cages be saved?" The remnant souls in the iron cages had the same appearance as living people, but they regarded themselves as animals. They seemed to have lost the ability to resist and tacitly accepted their identity as pets.
"There's no saving them! They're willing to be pets. Furthermore, being a pet is safer than fighting for their lives outside. " The vet was being realistic. Even though the souls had lost their freedom, lost their language and had to bark like dogs, at least they were protected by the pet shop owner, they were safe.
As long as they could live, being a pet was not a big deal.
"Open the cages. If they're willing to leave, then bring them away. I won't force them but I will give them a chance to choose." Even in a place like the cryptic world where danger lurked everywhere, Han Fei stuck to his principle. He would never actively harm others. More often than not, it was others who wanted to harm him and he would be overly defensive.
"You'll only get yourself killed!"
With no other choice, the vet opened the cages. If not for Weep, Han Fei would have escaped already.
When the cages were opened, the souls inside did not show any joy or gratitude. Instead, there was only numbness on their faces.
It was as if they had been trained for a long time. The souls did not dare to leave the cages. Instead, they all hid deep inside the cages as if the cages were safer than the outside world.
Hugging the urn, Han Fei did not mind it. He walked past the cages and headed deeper into the pet shop.
Pushing open the reinforced door, before Han Fei even entered, he could hear a hysterical roar and the sound of chains clanking against the cages.
Following the sound, Zhang Zian saw that the innermost room of the pet shop was completely blood red. The floor was piled up with thick animal hair and flesh residue. Several huge iron cages covered with black cloth stood by the wall. In the middle of the room, there was a huge metal table stained with blood.
"This is where I normally train my pets and suture their wounds but now this place has been taken over." The vet did not dare enter the room, he was afraid of this place.
After reminding the neighbours to be careful, Han Fei pulled back the black cloth that covered the cages.
"Bang!"
When the black cloth fell, a man with a body full of burn scars, nearly two meters tall, and a butterfly wing tattoo on his chest, was slamming into the iron cage.
This man's strength was equivalent to a mid-level Vengeful Spirit. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with madness.
Normal chains couldn't trap him at all, but the chains in the pet shop's iron cage seemed to be different. They were covered with animal hair and blood, and a large number of deformed souls were entangled in them.
"The pet shop owner dares to imprison a monster created by Butterfly?" Looking at the familiar butterfly pattern, Han Fei took out the Blade of Rebirth. "I'll send this monster to reincarnate first and then find a way to bring back the chains and iron cage. Those things appear to be cursed items as well."
While Han Fei was deep in thought, the urn in his hand came with the sound of crying. The muscular man in the cage roared angrily. All the chains on his body tightened.
"It's over, it's over! It was coming! We've been discovered! "The veterinarian's face was ashen. He didn't know where to hide and paced around anxiously.
Silently putting on the Animal Mask, Han Fei, who was hugging the urn, looked at the door quietly, ready for battle.
There was no sound of footsteps, but a strange voice came from outside. The person seemed to have just learned how to speak.
"No matter what kind of pet you keep, you must be vaccinated on time to prevent the spread of diseases."
The curtain of the corridor was pulled back. A 'person' covered in animal fur and holding a syringe appeared in Han Fei's sight.
The monster had a cat-like face, and its body was made up of countless animals stitched together into the shape of a human.
"This is a 'pet' that I accidentally created, it's practically immortal …" The veterinarian was in despair.
The monster in the corridor mumbled something over and over again. It sounded strangely like it had just learned how to speak.
When it saw the open iron cage, it did not ask any further. Instead, it reached out to grab the lingering soul out from the cage. Then it poked the syringe into the lingering soul's neck and injected all the red and black blood into the lingering soul's body.
Collapsing to the ground, the lingering soul became more like an animal. The last bit of humanity left in it was gone.
Pulling out the syringe, the cat-faced monster turned to look at Han Fei who was at the deepest part of the room. Its lips cracked open like it was smiling.
"Animals have social groups but no matter what, do not allow your pet to come into contact with stray or wild animals to prevent the spread of diseases."
It muttered something that no one could understand, and its speed suddenly increased!
Han Fei only felt a gust of wind before his body was pushed away by a force.
When his vision returned, Han Fei realized Weep was standing where he was earlier. Spikes of despair poked out from his small body.
The monster had snuck into the house. One of its arms was scratched by Weep. Despair was still melting on it.
'It's so fast?' Han Fei's physical strength was on a completely different level from the monster. Without the help of his neighbour, he would have been killed the moment he saw the monster.
No wonder Weep and Drake told him to stay away from the pet shop. With Weep's power before he entered Cattle Alley, he was not strong enough to deal with this monster.
Tilting its head to look at the needle on its arm, the cat-faced monster opened its mouth and licked the needle filled with despair with its barbed tongue. Then, it took out a syringe filled with red liquid from the fur on its abdomen.
"If you're accidentally scratched or bitten by a pet, you must seek medical attention immediately and be vaccinated."
Then it poked the syringe into its neck.
Pitch-black blood vessels popped out, and the cat-faced monster's body began to expand crazily. The originally cute face became hideous and terrifying, and this seemed to be its original appearance.
Just as the monster was about to go berserk, Han Fei received the system notification.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've successfully triggered Grade G Hidden Mission — Pet Adoption.
"You've found a job and you've just entered society. Facing the increasing competition in the workplace, keeping a pet can provide you with psychological support, it can alleviate unnecessary stress and help you adjust your emotions.
"A good pet is a lifelong companion, it's a source of happiness and health. Looking at such a cute and obedient pet, do you feel like you're being healed?"
Han Fei's eyelids twitched as he stared at the 'kitten' whose jaw was pierced through and whose body had swelled to three meters in size and whose fangs had pierced through its chin.
