Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Chen Zhao left Walter with the hellhounds and told them to take care of it. He went into the research lab and continued reading the demon’s dical book.
Suddenly, he heard the hellhounds bark and he ran out.
Walter had already woken up, but he seed to be rolling on the ground in pain. Chen Zhao didn’t get close. He stood and watched Walter from afar.
The dicine might have co into effect, changing Walter’s body and soul. However, his outer appearance didn’t change. After more than ten minutes of pain, Walter slowly cald down.
If one only looked at his appearance, his head had gotten slightly bigger, but there weren’t any other changes.
After the pain subsided, he would never feel pain again. Compared to the torture of cancer, he felt very light and filled with energy now.
Walter leapt onto Chen Zhao. He stumbled back and almost lost his balance. It had gotten much stronger. The demonic dicine had gone into effect.
He had beco a hybrid demon now.
Smiling wryly, Chen Zhao patted Walter’s head. He’d wanted to raise him like a regular pet, but he beca a demon.
Did he have no chance to have a normal pet?
“Little One, Little Two, Little Three, Walter and I are going out. You all can play with Walter next ti.”
The three hellhounds walked Chen Zhao and Walter to the door. They seed very sad.
Dogs needed their owner’s accompanint. If they didn’t have attention in a long ti, they would get depressed. The three hellhounds were all dogs that lacked love—all three of them.
Blackie didn’t have ti to play with them, so they were excited whenever Chen Zhao visited.
They didn’t want to let Chen Zhao and Walter leave.
Little Two tugged on the corner of Chen Zhao’s shirt. It wished he wouldn’t have to go and could keep playing with them.
“You three be good. I’m really leaving now, but I promise I’ll co again tomorrow, okay?”
Little Two let go of Chen Zhao’s shirt and whined. Walter walked over and put his head against Little Two’s. Then it switched to Little One and Little Three. They seed to be communicating.
Woof—
Finally, Chen Zhao and Walter reached the exit and returned to their ho.
“Human, you ssed around the entire night just to turn this regular dog into a hybrid demon?” Beelzebub said with disdain. He could sense his blood running through Walter.
“Master, you already have ,” Carrie said in a choked voice. “Why do you have to lure over other demons?”
Chen Zhao glared at Raymond who was about to speak. “Don’t talk. If you do, I’m going to make snake soup.”
“I was going to tell you that you have three missed calls.” Raymond shrugged its head.
“Okay, I wronged you.”
“Even if this dog turns into a hybrid demon, it’s still stupid,” Raymond said nonchalantly. “I don’t know what its value is, making you put so much effort in saving her. I don’t get it...”
“As expected, you’re all so petty. He is a new friend. You don’t have to welco it, but why do you have to insult him?”
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang just then. It was the police from last ti. Chen Zhao was confused.
“Sir, we et again. You’re still living here?”
“Yeah, the rent’s cheap.”
“Yesterday, we received a complaint that dog barks here disturbed the neighbors.”
“I’m sorry. I have a new family mber. It might have been lost in this unfamiliar environnt. It won’t happen again.”
“Okay, it’s just a small thing. Keep it in mind for the future. Are there still paranormal activities here?”
“Not yet. If it happens again, I’ll let you know.”
“You don’t have to... I don’t know how to take care of that. You know, the residents in town have started a bet.”
“Betting what?”
“How long you can stay here.”
“Did you bet?”
“Yeah. I bet $10 that you’ll move within the month.”
“Did anyone bet that I won’t move? I want to bet for myself.”
“Yes. If you die here, it’s three tis the bet.”
Chen Zhao didn’t reply.
“Okay, I’m going on patrol.”
“Oh, right. We’re acquaintances now, right, but I don’t know your na yet.”
“I’m Leonardo—not that movie star. I know that if you Asians hear my na, you’ll imdiately think of him.”
“I’m Chen Zhao, but you can call Chen.”
“Okay, Chen. Next ti I get off work, we can get a drink together.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
As soon as Leonardo left, Robio ca.
“Robio, how did you find ?” Chen Zhao stared at him in shock.
“I know Ethan.”
“Even if you know Ethan, he won’t give my address to anybody, especially a stranger.” Chen Zhao furrowed his brows. He’d agreed for Robio to co see Walter, but he didn’t expect the man to suddenly burst into his ho.
“I’m his son.”
“What?” Chen Zhao was floored. Robio was Ethan’s son? “How co I’ve never heard him ntion you before?”
“That old stubborn man won’t ever admit that his son’s gay.”
“Okay. You want to see Walter?”
“Yes. I need to be sure that you’re not abusing him.”
“Walter, co.”
Walter ran out with an open mouth. Seeing Robio, it flew up and pounced. Robio was huge, but he almost lost his balance.
“Walter? Oh my god. You look great.” Robio hugged Walter. He could barely recognize her. How could Walter beco so energetic in one night?
“Chen, has Walter recovered?”
“No. You know that cancer can’t be cured. I’m only a traditional Chinese doctor. I can only make it not be tornted by sickness in its short life.”
“Seems like I didn’t make a mistake in giving Walter to you. He looks like he really did recover though.”
Robio knew that it wasn’t possible, but seeing Walter’s vigor, he was still very happy.
“I need to get to work. Bye, Chen. I won’t co without any warning next ti. I’ll let you know beforehand.”
“Goodbye.”
...
“Where’s Walter? Robio, you’re here just in ti. You were working last night, right? Where’s Walter? I searched the entire headquarters, but I can’t find it.”
Looking at Fali who was going crazy, Robio’s face twitched. “Fali, Walter won’t appear again.”
“What do you an?”
“I helped him pass on.”
“You...what are you saying?”
“I helped you do what you didn’t dare to do,” Robio said seriously.
“No, no, no. I don’t believe you. You’d never do that. You value Walter even more than I do. It’s impossible for you to do that.”
“No. I value Walter more, but I’m also in greater pain than you. I hope that he can have a better destination instead of being tornted by endless pain.”
