Chapter 745: 746 Chapter Cotton_1

"Of course~ I was there the moment it opened."

"How was it?"

Feng Yuan looked curiously at the woman, as he wasn’t clear about the real situation of the haunted house. The woman recalled and said,

"It was pretty good, quite scary but not terrifying. It seems like they’ve layered multiple spaces on top of each other to expand it, and it definitely wasn’t just junk scares with basic Ghost Series tricks."

The woman was referring to tactics that utilize Ghost Series abilities like Scare Eye and Terrifying Melodies, control-type tricks to frighten people. Those abilities were specifically designed to induce panic and fear, but they were considered a misuse of Spirit Beast abilities. Not only were they looked down upon by most people, but they also risked attracting police or even special agents.

After all, using Spirit Beast abilities to harm humans was a criminal act expressly forbidden by law, and a sanctioned haunted house would typically use Ghost Series Spirit Beasts to create an atmosphere. More advanced ones would expand the space and come up with a frightful story for visitors to experience freely.

The woman’s uncertainty lay here; because it was up to the visitors to explore, the route and details of the story were not fixed and entirely dependent on the performance of the Spirit Beasts inside. Most of the time, Ghost Series Spirit Beasts would use their abilities to alter the environment, but occasionally, Death Series or other types of Spirit Beasts might collaborate.

So, whether they had used Ghost Series Spirit Beasts’ scare tactics was not easy to ascertain. Naturally, as long as they didn’t harm people, nobody would delve too deeply into it.

"The atmosphere was great?"

"Yeah~ The theme was ’The Seven Mysteries of the Campus’, and it was really scary, with a great atmosphere. It didn’t feel like cheating from Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, but it’s hard to say, because some parts were too scary..."

The woman chattered excitedly to Feng Yuan about her experience in the haunted house. Such high-end haunted houses didn’t fear spoilers. After all, Ghost Series Spirit Beasts kept watch and could change their tactics even if you knew the storyline.

Just when Fatty Coo seemed tired and ready to rest, Feng Yuan quickly picked it up from Big Cat’s head and handed it over to the woman, saying,

"Thank you for this."

"No trouble at all, chatting with you was quite interesting~"

Watching the woman walk away with Fatty Coo in her arms, Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and asked,

"What do you think?"

"Think about what?"

"The haunted house, how do you think it is?"

After some thought, Feng Yuan shrugged and said,

"I don’t know, I’ve never experienced it, so who can say what it’s really like?"

"Anyway, it’s not like you’d get scared, right?"

Agunas closed the book in his hands and stared at Feng Yuan, stating more as a fact than a guess. Fear and strength are inversely related, and Agunas didn’t think the haunted house could scare it.

Just like the invisible Specter Series tactics once commonly used in early haunted houses, they were a joke in front of Elite Level Beastmasters. With abilities like Space Shockwave, Energy Fluctuation, and Life Detection, what’s left unseen? Not to mention those Spirit Beasts dressed as ’evildoers,’ looking like they’d cause harm.

There were many cases of curious Beastmasters immobilizing them for observation back then, which led to the introduction of direct-ability cheating tactics. After all, it was quite challenging to scare a powerful Beastmaster.

Eventually, there were restrictions based on strength entry, and haunted houses wouldn’t even welcome visitors above a certain level of power. Fail to scare them, and you might end up traumatizing your own employees instead.

"Who says that? I’m just an ordinary person with no special strength."

Feng Yuan feigned a frightened expression as he spoke, and Agunas flicked its tail in silent disbelief, saying,

"Do you think I would believe that? To a Ghost Series Spirit Beast, you’re more frightening than any ’evil ghost’."

"Tsk!"

Feng Yuan pursed his lips displeased but didn’t refute. Although what Agunas said wasn’t entirely true, it wasn’t far off either – his unique situation indeed made him a natural nemesis to Ghost Series Spirit Beasts.

"Was that person from the Breeding House just now? What did she want with you?"

Dou Yanlan asked Feng Yuan with some confusion, as she didn’t think Feng Yuan would need help from the Breeding House; their philosophies were fundamentally different.

"Nothing much, just a Heroic Descendant Fatty Coo looking for me."

"I see."

Dou Yanlan was aware of Feng Yuan’s previous rescue of Fatty Coo, so it made sense for it to seek him out. Recent research suggested that Spirit Beasts could sense their surroundings even from within the Spirit Beast Egg – a special connection that typically emerged in highly talented eggs or those in life-threatening danger.

Remembering Feng Yuan’s ability to heal Spirit Beast Eggs, Dou Yanlan cautioned,

"Right, it’s best if you don’t spread those methods for healing Spirit Beast Eggs. If you’ve already shared them with the Breeding House, you should..."

Feng Yuan smiled and said

"There’s no need to worry. Although a wounded Spirit Beast Egg can be saved, its potential will inevitably decline. There’s no universal medicine that can make up for it, so they can’t deliberately injure the Spirit Beast Egg and then heal it to enhance its special sensitivity."

"You’ve read those papers too?"

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise. She didn’t expect him to have read those papers. Nodding, Feng Yuan said,

"Orlina teacher specifically sent them to me. She shares similar concerns, but it’s not a big issue. If they actually did that, letting them know would make it easier to invite trouble."

As Feng Yuan spoke, his gaze shifted to Agunas, who nodded and said,

"If they intentionally harm them or even use them for experiments, theoretically, we would intervene to stop them."

"Theoretically?"

Dou Yanlan looked puzzled and sighed. Agunas said helplessly,

"Yes, that’s the case for ordinary people or even most people, but there are some special cases where we simply have no good solution."

"Does it have to do with the relics from the Mythical Era or external forces?"

Although she already knew what "external" referred to, Dou Yanlan still found it hard to believe that they would be totally helpless against such forces. Shaking his head, Agunas, while flipping through a book, said,

"No, whether it’s relics from the Mythical Era or external forces, we can deal with them. But some are quite special, not only can they shield themselves from our investigation, but also..."

Agunas didn’t know how to explain, and Feng Yuan said with some speechlessness,

"Isn’t it just the G Organization? They are the only ones you can’t deal with."

"Well..."

"It doesn’t have much impact, right? It’s a pity that not all Divine Beasts oppose it. In fact, some Divine Beasts consent to it, otherwise, if it was really pursued, I don’t believe that all of you combined couldn’t solve the problem."

Feng Yuan spoke frankly, while Agunas, head bowed, didn’t rebut. Dou Yanlan, somewhat puzzled, said,

"What exactly are they up to? Such crazy illegal experiments even have support from Divine Beasts."

Feng Yuan smiled and said after glancing at Dou Yanlan,

"It’s best if you don’t try to understand that. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss."

"Taboo? As much as I would like to say that makes people want to know more, I don’t really care."

Dou Yanlan spoke freely. She clearly understood that casual curiosity would only cause trouble for herself, and she could easily restrain her indifferent curiosity. Thinking of Qi Chen, Dou Yanlan said,

"You’d better not bring this up in front of him."

"Don’t worry, I’m well aware of his situation."

Feng Yuan laughed and resolutely replied. Qi Chen couldn’t put things aside as easily as Dou Yanlan, and knowing the truth would only be a hassle for him.

"Speaking of which, why don’t you let it train? Is it sick?"

Feng Yuan looked at Cotton curiously as it nestled weakly in Dou Yanlan’s arms, its eyes half-closed, and its tail seemingly wanting to swing but with no strength, gently sweeping behind it.

"Do you need my help to heal it?"

Feng Yuan asked as he pointed at Cotton’s body, which seemed dissatisfied with Feng Yuan’s gesture, made a deep warning growl, as if somewhat angry. Dou Yanlan shook her head and said,

"No, it seems to be preparing to evolve."

"Eh? But..."

"Trying to increase its potential during evolution? But in that case..."

As Dou Yanlan spoke, Feng Yuan easily guessed what was happening with Cotton. Probably, it wanted to use the power of evolution to enhance its core strength at the time of evolution, which is to add part of the method that surpasses normal evolution and gain an extra power boost beyond its normal evolution.

"It’s its own decision..."

Dou Yanlan said tenderly, Cotton stuck out its little tongue and gently licked the back of her hand as if to comfort her.
