Chapter 99 Not Returned
Vivian's plan of "cooperating with the big dog to develop new techniques for roasting mutton skewers and then becoming rich" finally declared bankruptcy on the second day of its implementation. The reason for the bankruptcy was not that the plan itself was unfeasible, but that Lily couldn't control her own mouth. This idiot would basically eat all the meat in her sight, including those failed products that she had grilled into charcoal slag. Her persistence had reached the point where she would rather die than change. Vivian realized that it would be difficult for her to continue to cooperate with this husky…
Now let's talk about Lily's side. The husky girl was quite satisfied with her new claws. Although no one could explain the principle behind her evolving such a pair of detachable claws, Lily herself obviously wouldn't think too much. She just found that these claws, which were neither metal nor stone, were quite useful, so she was currently working hard to practice her kung fu, although to others it looked like she was just jumping around and flailing randomly.
Hao Ren could understand Lily's excitement. After all, since birth, this idiot's only quality that met the standard of "anomaly" was her strength. Apart from her brute force, she rarely had anything that could be called a skill. In Vivian's words, even the most useless werewolf should have one or two innate skills, such as toxins and shadow concealment, which were called "semi-magic" techniques. But Lily couldn't do any of them. Before, Lily hadn't come into contact with other anomalies, so she didn't feel any loss about this. But now that she knew Vivian and heard a lot about her "relatives" from the vampire girl, she naturally felt a little restless. Now that she had evolved, although she had encountered a shocking fact in terms of identity… at least this superpower had finally appeared. How could she not be happy enough to jump around?
Early this morning, Hao Ren went out for a stroll as usual, and bought Lily's favorite meat bones and a few packs of spicy strips for her. He also brought back some new kitchen utensils and fresh vegetables for the vampire at home. He felt that he was becoming more and more like a nanny or guardian to those two abnormal girls, rather than a normal landlord. But he felt that this kind of life was not bad—anyway, the daily expenses of the abnormal creatures could be reimbursed by Raven 12345. He only needed to make his tenants live happily, and this kind of mindless rhythm of life was quite good.
However, as soon as Hao Ren pushed the door open and entered the house this time, he noticed a situation: "Why isn't Izhaks at home?"
The great demon would sit on the sofa in the living room at this time every day, watching TV and studying the affairs of Earthlings. It could be said to be his fixed habit. When Hao Ren saw that there was no one on the sofa, his first reaction was that Izhaks was not at home.
"The big guy went out," Vivian, who was cleaning the living room with a vacuum cleaner, said casually. "He said he wanted to find something to do. He felt bored staying at home all day."
Hao Ren was about to nod subconsciously, but suddenly reacted and immediately jumped half a meter high on the spot: "What?! He went out?! Why didn't you stop him?"
"Why should I stop him?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren strangely. "Isn't it his freedom to go out? This isn't a prison."
Hao Ren was speechless. After gesturing for a long time, he realized that it was difficult for him to explain Izhaks' image problem to an alien creature. And more importantly, Vivian was right. It was his freedom to go out. You couldn't restrict someone's activities just because his face was more likely to cause trouble—to be honest, Izhaks had already undergone a miraculous plastic surgery from a giant demon of more than five meters tall to a strong man of more than two meters tall. Although he was still not very good-looking after the plastic surgery… at least he had tried his best, right?
So Hao Ren could only wave his hand: "I hope he doesn't get into conflict with the local police. I should have followed him. I can help him out at critical moments. By the way, did he say when he would be back?"
Lily happened to be coming out of the room with a small box at this time. Hearing Hao Ren and Vivian's conversation, she answered casually: "He said he wanted to go to the center of the human city to see. He basically slept in another dimension when he was in England, so he didn't see enough. He wanted to broaden his horizons this time. He will be back in the afternoon at the earliest, and in the evening if he's late. He said he wanted to eat out and get used to the human social environment."
Hao Ren noticed something was wrong and immediately asked nervously: "Does he have money?"
Lily nodded: "I lent him two hundred."
Hao Ren's heart immediately relaxed. He thought to himself that he hoped that the great demon wouldn't cause any trouble, otherwise he would only see him on *Legal Report* in a few days.
A tough guy who could make a commotion like a robbery when buying things in a supermarket, and who would passively attract a large number of plainclothes tailgaters when walking on the street, chose to go to the crowded city center for a stroll for the first time… Heh heh…
"Are you going out?" Hao Ren suddenly noticed that Lily was carrying a box and looked like she was about to go out, so he asked casually.
Lily nodded: "Yeah, I discussed it with Green Bean. I'm going to see it at nine-thirty in the morning."
It took Hao Ren a while to remember that "Green Bean" was the name of a stray dog on the next street. The stray dogs in this place didn't have names, but after "Benevolent Wandering Doctor Liu Lily" came to the southern suburbs, all the stray dogs here were named by her. Green Bean was a Chinese pastoral dog (that is, a local dog) with a problem with its hind legs. Because Lily was eating a green bean popsicle when she first met it, it was given the name. Due to the chronic illness on its legs, it was considered one of Lily's regular patients.
Every time Hao Ren heard Lily mention these dogs in the southern suburbs, he had to react for a while, because in that idiot's worldview, there was no difference between humans and dogs at all. In her eyes, dogs and humans were the same. Therefore, every time she mentioned her "patients," she always used a tone of discussing acquaintances. Hao Ren had been living with her for more than a month and still needed to react from time to time to understand who she was talking about. Last time, Lily casually said while eating with Hao Ren, "Reinhardt the Great Duke nearby has been mentioning you a lot recently." Hao Ren pondered until two-thirty in the afternoon before he remembered that "Reinhardt the Great Duke" was the chow chow raised by the Zhang family on the back street… He almost thought he really had a long-lost European aristocratic uncle!
Vivian put down the vacuum cleaner and pointed to the ribs on the table: "Will you be back for lunch?"
Lily quickly swallowed her saliva and nodded her head frantically: "I'll be back! Bat, you're not allowed to steal my bones!"
"Who wants to fight with you, big dog, for food?" Vivian carried the bag of ribs towards the kitchen. "If you're coming back, I'll go and stew the meat for you now. It should be flavorful by noon."
Hao Ren looked at Lily and Vivian's normal conversation and felt a lot of emotion: "Your relationship has finally gotten better."
Sure enough, there were two screams immediately: "Who has a good relationship with the bat (big dog)!"
Hao Ren chuckled stupidly, finally coaxed Lily out of the door, and then opened the data terminal on the sofa to see if there was any reply to the report he had given to Raven 12345 two days ago.
Hao Ren wrote the report on the second day after Lily completed her evolution. Although the writing was just so-so, he basically described the process of "werewolf transformation showing the husky's true form" in detail. He felt that even if Raven 12345 was unreliable, she should react quickly to this amazing report. As a result, when he opened the data terminal, his report only had a "read" stamp. That crazy woman didn't even leave a comment.
Hao Ren sent a contact request to Raven by the way, but what responded to him was an automatic reply that sounded sacred and solemn, but was actually shameless: "The God you are calling is not at home. Please leave a message after the beep. If believers encounter emergencies, please consult the self-service divine revelation-prayer system. If servant army soldiers or other military personnel encounter emergencies, please consult the self-service assistance terminal. If formal inspectors encounter emergencies, please call for reinforcements from the nearest armed support department. If Hao Ren encounters emergencies, please use internal strength and faith to overcome them."
Hao Ren: "…"
"This machine has a suggestion," the data terminal suddenly said. "You can carry a kitchen knife and rush into 12345's office, call out her arcane servants and then take the initiative to fight her one-on-one, from the office to the archives, and then from the archives to the power room, and finally leave a message on the local channel, scolding her as a crazy person."
"Can this make her value my talent and worth?"
"No, this way you die with more dignity, and at least you can appear on the local channel's headlines."
Hao Ren thought for a while and handed the data terminal to Vivian: "Throw it in the kitchen, cook it for half an hour, and add more coriander."
"Try it if you have the guts! Believe it or not, this machine will drill a hole in your pot!"
The morning time passed quickly in the bickering between Hao Ren and the data terminal, and then… Lily didn't come back at noon.
