What It's Like Being a Vampire C.420 - :

Chapter 420: 420

Hearing her father’s words, Xiao Pingguo immediately remembered last Sunday when she overheard a phone call between Officer Xiao Wang and someone else through “Golden Sparkle”.

The person talking to Officer Xiao Wang at the time was an officer surnamed Zhao from Citong. They discussed a “multi-armed monster” who invoked a dream in Officer Zhao, leading him to find several bodies in the deep mountains.

She later confirmed with Uncle Xiang that the “multi-armed monster” Officer Zhao dreamed of was the “eight-armed, eight-eyed monster” she could “summon”. It was Uncle Xiang who had used some method to initiate the “dream invocation alarm”.

Based on her father’s words, it was highly likely that Officer Xiao Wang’s police friend from Haixi Province was Officer Zhao, who had been alerted by Uncle Xiang’s “dream invocation alarm”.

Officer Zhao happened to have a friend who worked in a blind school, and upon learning about her “guide bird” from Officer Xiao Wang, he wanted to come for advice?

Xiao Pingguo instinctively felt that Officer Zhao was using this as an excuse. His main focus was probably the sensory impact caused by her summoning of the “eight-armed eight-eyed monster” at the lake to deter the “bad guys” in the car.

When these people were arrested and testified to the police, they would likely describe what they saw, so the police should also know the image of this so-called “multi-armed monster”.

Officer Zhao from Citong City likely learned about the “multi-armed monster” from Officer Wang, not the “guide bird”. Linking this to his own dream invocation, he intended to conduct an investigation through her.

However, it was clear they could not openly investigate and ask about this. Both Officer Wang and Officer Zhao were after all police officers.

Thus they chose a roundabout way, using the “blind school” and the “guide bird” as entry points, trying to make contact through her uncle.

Xiao Pingguo thought her guess was likely correct, so she said to her father, “Dad, let me discuss this with Uncle Xiang first. After all, ‘Golden Sparkle’ is his pet. If we want to show it to others, we must ask him.”

“Oh, right. That’s true.” Li Yang nodded in agreement.

“Dad, Uncle Xiang and Sister Xiao Bing just boarded a plane recently, so it’s probably impossible to reach them on their cell phones now. I’ll ask them later or tomorrow. Can you tell my uncle to wait until tomorrow for a reply?” Xiao Pingguo said.

“We certainly can.”

As Li Yang prepared to leave the room, Xiao Pingguo asked, “Oh, by the way, Dad, is that police officer from Haixi Province still there, or has he already arrived in our city?”

“He has come to our city… But that officer didn’t necessarily just come for this matter. He probably just happened to be in town, mentioned this to Officer Xiao Wang, and then sought out your uncle. You don’t need to worry about others. If you want to meet, then meet, if you don’t want to, I’ll help you refuse. It’s not a big deal.”

Upon hearing her father’s words, Xiao Pingguo realized that he had misunderstood her again, assuming that she was worried about making the others have made a wasted trip.

However, if she disregarded the deeper-level factors unknown to her father and focused only on this matter itself, she might indeed consider whether the others had made a wasted trip, and her father’s thoughts were not wrong.

After Li Yang left the room, shutting the door behind him, Xiao Pingguo thought for a moment and decided to investigate Officer Wang and Officer Zhao herself before contacting Uncle Xiang.

She didn’t fear being discovered by the two police officers. When she deterred the “bad guys” in the car before, despite them seeing the “eight-armed, eight-eyed monster”, there was no physical evidence left behind.

Moreover, neither she nor the “eight-armed, eight-eyed monster” had done anything “bad”.

She was just a bit curious about the mentality of the two officers in investigating the matter and what information they had already collected.

So she got up, opened the window, and let “Golden Sparkle” out.

She and “Golden Sparkle” had already “toured” most of the city. The city’s structure existed in her mind in a very special information combination.

This combination of information, apart from Xiang Kun and “Golden Sparkle”, was something that others wouldn’t understand, even if they could read her consciousness.

In her mind, the entire city was constructed by sounds, scents, and “Golden Sparkle’s” “sense” of direction.

Moreover, information varies greatly with different times and climates.

For example, right now, she wants “Golden Flash” to go to the branch office where Officer Wang De’an is located. She does not directly input the address of the branch office, or think about the information of that location in her mind. Instead, she activates the scent and sound information along the way, such as the smell of a Sichuan restaurant on XX road at this time, the broadcast sound that a supermarket on XX street regularly makes, the smell that persists in certain areas due to building materials and decoration paints, the signature sounds unique to certain people or creatures, and so on.

With these, it guides “Golden Flash” along the way, making it accurately locate the exact position.

Although the olfaction and hearing of “Golden Flash” are quite different from those of human beings, and the perception fields for smell and sound are also not the same.

However, after integrating into the “Super Sensory Item System” and connecting and cooperating for so long with “Xiao Pingguo”, the way “Golden Flash” perceives and judges smells and sounds has greatly changed and has been largely assimilated. At the same time, “Xiao Pingguo” has also adapted to the sensory information collected by “Golden Flash” and can use it to make very precise judgments.

“Golden Flash” is not only a competent “guide bird”, it can even be said to be an extension of “Xiao Pingguo”‘s senses to some extent.

The way “Xiao Pingguo” commands it is as effortless as moving her arm.

Perhaps because it has established a connection through the “Super-connected System”, “Golden Flash” understands clearly its position and “Xiao Pingguo”‘s within the system, so its obedience is very high.

Of course, on the other hand, it could also be because of the delicious bird food “Xiao Pingguo” carefully prepared for it.

When “Golden Flash” arrived at the branch office and spent over thirty minutes sniffing around the dormitory area, literally stopping at every window and doorway, “Xiao Pingguo” confirmed that Officer Xiao Wang was not in the dormitory. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Could it be that Officer Xiao Wang does not live in the dormitory, or he hasn’t returned yet?

“Xiao Pingguo” wasn’t discouraged. She hadn’t held out much hope this time, it was simply an attempt.

Then she had “Golden Flash” leave the branch office and fly to a nearby hotel.

She thought if Officer Zhao from Citong didn’t stay in Officer Wang’s dormitory, he was likely staying in this hotel closest to the branch office.

Of course, it was also possible that Officer Xiao Wang had other residences, or was staying in other hotels.

In any case, this was simply a trial; it wouldn’t matter if they didn’t find them.

Once again, she had “Golden Flash” search from floor to floor, from room to room, lingering outside the windows for eavesdropping.

After consuming a considerable amount of time and energy from “Golden Flash” and listening to a whole bunch of junk information, “Xiao Pingguo” still didn’t find Officers Wang and Zhao.

Just as “Xiao Pingguo” was about to reassess the situation, have “Golden Flash” return to the branch office, and reset the search direction, “Golden Flash” suddenly heard a voice and made a detour in mid-air to stop next to the signboard on the second floor of the hotel.

Through “Golden Flash”‘s hearing, “Xiao Pingguo” also heard a familiar voice, it was Officer Wang De’an.

At this point, Officer Wang was talking to someone while entering the hotel, and from the conversation, he was with Officer Zhao from Citong.

They had just returned from dinner!

They were caught!

Sitting in her bedroom on her computer chair, “Xiao Pingguo” pretended to throw a punch in thin air, her face full of excitement.

Although this was not a complicated matter and there was no specific purpose, the feeling of being able to find the person she was looking for and do the things she wanted to do while sitting at home did give her an unexplainable sense of satisfaction and excitement.
