Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System
Chapter 1210 - 1208: Is This Person Dangerous?

"I'm allergic to cat fur." Gu Cheng replied.

"Allergic? Then stay away from me." Sally turned around with the cat and walked away.

Gu Cheng glared at her, "After school, you go back on your own."

"I'm not going back, I'll stay at the school dorms from now on." Sally said without looking back.

"Study password!"

"Call me, I'll tell you."

...

Night fell, girls' dormitory.

Xiaomei reminded Sally, [Host, there's a special mission, you can earn 50,000 reputation points!]

[What mission?] Sally was instantly energized.

[There's a live murder event taking place 10 kilometers away in an underground warehouse. It's become a hot topic online. If the host can subdue the criminal before the police arrive and save the hostages, you'll earn at least 50,000 reputation points!]

[I must go!] Sally got up quickly. Her physical training over these days was not in vain, as her movements were quite nimble.

Following Xiaomei's prompted route, Sally left the Imperial Academy.

[The host can spend 1 reputation point to teleport to the crime scene.]

[Teleport?]

[Yes host, the Reputation System can transport the host to the destination within three seconds.]

[Spend it!]

[Alright, Host.]

Just as Sally teleported away, a tall and slender figure appeared around the corner of a nearby wall.

Jian Xiao squinted at the direction Sally left, "Going on a date?"

He quietly followed.

...

The dim underground warehouse.

The blood-red lights flickered occasionally, creating a tense and horror-filled atmosphere.

On the ground was a drawn formation, mysterious and eerie. A woman in a white dress was gagged, her limbs bound to four stakes covered with black charms.

The woman was none other than Sun Yali, who had a conflict with Sally earlier that day!

Suddenly, the red lights stayed on.

Everyone realized that a man in black had been sitting in the dim corner all along, wearing a mask resembling the face of a rabid dog!

Due to the angle and the flickering lights, he was hard to notice. His presence now truly made the live broadcast terrifyingly suffocating.

The number of viewers in the live stream instantly skyrocketed to 1.5 million!

The masked man revealed a knife in his hand, the tip tracing Sun Yali's face… Sun Yali's pupils quivered in fear, her body already numb due to the drugs.

At this moment, she was like a lamb awaiting slaughter, completely at the mercy of others!

Just then, the room door was kicked open.

A girl wearing a cow-and-cat half-mask and sportswear appeared at the door.

She was chewing bubble gum, hands in pockets, looking completely at ease.

"Found it!" The girl's voice was processed to sound like a child's, cute and adorable.

The live stream viewership surged to 2 million.

Sally glanced at the live stream screen, especially the online audience count, and whistled in surprise, even interacting and greeting the viewers, "Hi~ good evening everyone~"

The masked man moved the knife away from Sun Yali's face, "How did you find this place? I clearly hid the address."

"Hidden, but not vanished." Sally looked at the formation on the ground, [Xiaomei, what is this?]

[A formation for summoning a Demon God, but he drew it wrong. Even if successful, it wouldn't summon a Demon God, just some unknown creature.]

Sally kicked the formation, erasing it, "Tsk, what a show-off, all for nothing!"

The masked man was furious, lunging at Sally with the knife.

Sally dodged agilely.

His every stab was lethal, yet every attempt missed, his movements becoming chaotic.

Seizing the opportunity, Sally kicked the knife from his hand. As the knife fell to the ground, Sally followed with a spinning kick, knocking him to the floor.

Picking up the knife he dropped, she pinned his wrist to the wooden floor!

Yet, he was a tough one, pulling the knife out and, ignoring the spurting blood from his wrist, pounced at Sally once more.

Sally sidestepped, looked at his wrist wound; she had pierced his artery.

Pulling out the knife caused a blood spray impossible to stop; soon, the room was filled with blood, even spraying onto Sun Yali's white dress.

Siren sounds approached, the masked man finally stopped trying to kill Sally and frantically attempted to flee.

But the woman must die; she had seen his face.

Immediately, he aimed the knife toward Sun Yali.

Sally kicked Sun Yali to the corner of the wall… although escaping the blade, she couldn't avoid the wall!

With a 'bang', Sun Yali's head hit the wall, knocking her out.

The masked man, seeing the situation, knew he had lost and attempted to escape.

Sally grabbed the tripod used for the live stream and smashed it over the masked man's head!

The masked man collapsed, life or death unknown, and the live stream ended there.

As more footsteps approached, Sally asked Xiaomei: [Is the mission complete?]

[Yes, Host, combined with the impact from the live stream, you've earned a total of 280,000 reputation points.] Xiaomei replied.

[Nice! Teleport out of here.] Sally was thoroughly satisfied.

Returning outside the girls' dorm at the Imperial Academy, Sally feeling relaxed, was about to go back when she suddenly stopped.

Her expression turned cold as she looked at a weeping willow in the distance.

Someone was standing under the tree, watching her.

It was the art teacher she met earlier that day, unforgettable due to his striking appearance.

"Teacher, why are you…underneath the girls' dorm?" Could he be a creep like the masked man?

Jian Xiao replied, "Just out for a walk, saw a little cat run by, and followed it here. You should go get some rest, remember to attend class tomorrow."

"But we don't have art class tomorrow," Sally replied.

"Haha." Jian Xiao chuckled.

Sally suddenly felt a chill down her spine, "Got it!"

"Mhm. I'll call roll in my class tomorrow, Sally~" Jian turned and walked away.

"..." Sally asked Xiaomei, [Is this person dangerous?]

Xiaomei assured Sally, [He is very safe, Host, rest assured!]

Having spent this time together, Sally had grown to trust Xiaomei's judgment, [Okay, do we have art class tomorrow?]

[Second year does, Host can audit it.]

[Oh, then I'll go.]

[Alright, Host.]

After returning to the dorm, Sally took a shower and went to sleep.

When she was asleep, Jian appeared again.

Looking at Sally's body, he said, "Xiaomei."

[Present.] Text appeared in the air.

"Is Yanyan's romantic misfortune related to Gu Cheng?"

[No.]

"Then why is Yanyan getting involved with him?"

[Inside Gu Cheng's body.]

"…Dual souls?"

[Yes. Xiaomei discovered another sleeping soul within Gu Cheng's body, and it's a massive energy source, at least Divine Level.]

"Asleep, it must be that this host is too weak to support its awakening."

Sally turned over.

Jian looked at her face, "Is this what she used to look like?"

[Yes.]

"Qin Mo really got lucky." Jian gently touched Sally's face, and unable to restrain his jealousy, leaned down and kissed her lips.

Soft, supple, with a faint minty aroma, "Really want to hold her now!"

Xiaomei: […Please restrain yourself!]
