Chapter 510: Opening
Translator: AlfredoPoutineSoup Editor: DesTheSloth
It seemed that a peaceful Saturday had passed… and it was a Saturday that nothing happened.
As for Sunday, it was a cloudy day with an overcast weather.
And the office of the pet hospital seemed like to be influenced by the clouds in the sky, Long Xiruo’s office was filled with a gloomy aura.
Ghost Baby knocked on the door and walked in with a portion of food—It was Gui Qianyi’s order; he said Master Long would be happy to eat it.
He did not suspect that Master Long was now only an ordinary person and needed to eat food, but thought that the food was enjoyed by Master Long.
He was curious about that…
“Where is Gui Qianyi?”
“Master Gui is checking those monsters that woke up.” Ghost Baby said with respect, “But I heard Master Gui said the control to them should have been removed.”
Long Xiruo nodded, saying with a serious look, “It means Wind wants to make waves… and proves the guess that he can only control limited monsters. Nevertheless, what is his next target?”
“Master Long.” Ghost Baby said, “I contacted all the monsters in this city one by one… they said some little monsters are missing. But their parents do not care that. They said their kids sometimes run away from home due to quarrels. However, I suspect those missing monsters…”
“What about adults? Is there anyone they cannot contact?”
“Yeah, we have contacted some adult monsters.” Ghost Baby frowned, “But I am not sure, because adult monsters wander everywhere and it is hard to locate them…”
As for the little missing monsters, Long Xiruo said, “That day Gui Qianyi used his mysterious ‘Heaven-Sight and Ground-Hear’, I saw Nini being controlled as well. Did you see her in the underground parking?”
“Do you mean Nini?” Ghost Baby frowned.
“A little female cat monster.”
Ghost Baby recalled, “That day, I did see a little cat monster, but when monsters attacked me, I did not notice her. And she did not seem to have returned.”
“I did not see Nini yesterday on the rooftop.” Long Xiruo show her worry, “Nini, Wind, Cheese and Xiaojiang are friends that played together… Therefore, do not mention this issue to Cheese.”
Ghost Baby was helpless, “Master Long, I cannot talk about anything to him, because since coming back from that building, Cheese isolated himself from anyone, even his mother.”
Long Xiruo felt agitated; suddenly she stood up, “I want to go out for a stroll. Notify me if there is anything urgent.”
“Yes, I will.” Ghost Baby sent Long Xiruo out.
But as she went out, Ghost Baby suddenly ran out with a cellphone in hand… Long Xiruo forgot to take it; when he ran out and wanted to call Master Long, she had been disappeared.
“Forget it.” Ghost Baby did not care about it.
The true dragon had excellent senses… so she did not need a cellphone actually.
So he shrugged and went into the hospital.
…
Long Xiruo did not want anyone else to recognize her, so she removed the disguise Gui Qianyi designed and revealed her current appearance to face the city she had been living for one hundred years.
After half a day… the sun had almost set, but she had no clues at all.
‘Should I go to that shop?’
This thought emerged from her brain, but it immediately faded—she told herself, no.
The true dragon never gave in to anything.
“Calm down, I just could not get used to the loss of my power, but I am still myself… I have my memory.”
The sudden loss of power bothered her for the first several days… but if she became a helpless girl, which fit her current stature…
The self-esteem of a true dragon wouldn’t allow that to happen.
“Let me think about it carefully.” Long Xiruo closed her eyes.
Her power had been lost, but her quiet heart still existed. She could keep her mind as calm as still water even if she was in a busy city.
Issues these days flashed over her brain, and the sounds of the busy streets were slowly separated.
All of a sudden, she opened her eyes, facing the huge advertisement screen on the building… The advertisement now drew her back to the reality from the thoughts.
It was the most popular subject of this city this week—a concert-like TV program advertisement that would be played at 7:30 p.m. this evening.
The leaflet Ghost Baby took back!
Did it… Long Xiruo stretched her hand into her dress, but her face changed, “Where is my cellphone?”
She had no time to hesitate; she held up her dress and ran to a taxi park by the roadside, jumping the queue, and pushing out a man who was about to get on the taxi. She got in the car and closed the car door strongly.
The taxi driver got a fright by this little girl, who suddenly sneaked in his car, “Girl, where are your parents?”
“Go go go!!” The true dragon roared, “Go quickly, or I will call the police and say you are kidnapping a child!! And, give me your cellphone!”
The driver…’F*ck!!’
‘What a ferocious girl!! Is she actually an adult with dwarfism?’
“Here…” the driver had to pass his cellphone to the back seat.
Long Xiruo called Ghost Baby immediately… ‘Huh? What is his phone number? Forget it, call Gui Qianyi… Huh? What is his phone number?’
‘Damn it… who would remember others’ phone number!!’
“Er… girl, where will you go? You didn’t tell me yet…”
“Pet… no, it’s late.” Long XIruo said, “Gymnasium, gymnasium, go quickly! Go!”
The driver murmured and didn’t reply her. He just stepped on the gas and started the car.
…
…
Though it would happen in more than one hour, many members of the audience had swarmed the entrance—it would take time for 70 thousand people to get in.
“Zhuge! Zhuge, I am over here! Over here!”
A super fat guy with two big bags, out of breath, ran to a girl waving to him, “I, I have bought, many many things!”
“Didn’t you just eat a lot? Are you a pig?” the girl blamed him with dissatisfaction, but still wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue, “You really are hopeless!”
Zhuge giggled.
The girl held his arm with a sweet smile, “Let’s go in!”
…
“Jiping, Jiping, I am over here~”
…
They brushed past them, but stepped into the gymnasium together… there were many they’s and they’s.
