Chapter 1034: Another Ghost Ring King
"Name?"
"Qiao Sang."
"Age?"
"17."
"Where were you on the 30th of last month and the 3rd of this month?"
"Both times, I was in a match."
"What kind of match?"
"Hollow Region Tournament."
"Hollow Region Tournament?"
The police officer raised an eyebrow, about to say something else, when another officer hurried in and whispered in his ear. The questioning officer was taken aback, giving Qiao Sang a surprised look before standing up and leaving the interrogation room.
After about half a minute, the officer returned, a fawning smile on his face.
"Sorry, why didn't you tell us you're a student at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy? This whole thing has been a misunderstanding. We've already confirmed that you were in Dragon Nation for matches recently. You're free to go."
As he spoke, he stepped aside. "Your Ghost Ring King is here, too."
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker floated in from the doorway, burrowing into Qiao Sang's arms and crying.
The police officer, visibly uneasy, quickly explained, "We haven't done anything yet, just asked a few questions."
Qiao Sang didn't stand up. She stroked Treasure Seeker's head and calmly said, "I came here to cooperate because I wanted to understand the situation with the Ghost Ring King you're offering a bounty for. I wanted to see if it really looks like my Ghost Ring King."
Ever since she got off the plane, about 80% of the people had mistaken Treasure Seeker for the wanted Ghost Ring King, while the remaining 20% were tourists who didn't know about the bounty. Clearly, this was more serious than she had imagined.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker lifted her head from Qiao Sang's arms, looking serious.
The police officer glanced at Treasure Seeker, then raised his hand and tapped his wristwatch. A holographic screen appeared instantly.
On it was a bounty notice for a Ghost Ring King. It was smaller than an ordinary Ghost Ring King, with gray-black skin and golden hair, eyes, and rings—almost identical to Treasure Seeker.
There really is a Ghost Ring King that looks so much like Treasure Seeker... Qiao Sang stared at the holographic screen, feeling a bit dazed. She finally understood why, despite Treasure Seeker being a Variant Familiar, so many people had still mistaken her for the wanted Ghost Ring King.
The police officer, still trying to be accommodating, said, "The Ghost Ring King isn't an Eagaria familiar, so it's quite rare here, especially a Variant. That's why everyone who saw your Ghost Ring King thought it was the one with the bounty."
He glanced at Treasure Seeker and smiled. "Actually, if you look closely, there are some differences. Your Ghost Ring King is quite a bit fatter than the one in the bounty."
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker looked displeased, correcting him.
That's not fat, that's big!
Qiao Sang stood up and prepared to leave the interrogation room. Then she remembered something and turned to confirm, "Is the bounty for the Ghost Ring King one million Union Coins?"
The police officer was taken aback but nodded. "Yes, one million Union Coins for capturing and bringing it to the police station, and five thousand Union Coins for providing information."
"I see." Qiao Sang finished, then left the police station with Treasure Seeker, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
At the entrance, she saw Teacher Mikara.
"How did it go? Did you get all the information you needed?" Mikara asked, turning to her.
Qiao Sang nodded. "What do you think about this?"
Qiao Sang countered, "Did you ask me to come to the police station with them just to get information about the Ghost Ring King?"
If it weren't for Teacher Mikara suggesting they sit down at the police station, she had a thousand ways to leave the airport smoothly.
Migala didn’t argue, smiling as she said:
"That’s right. Your Ghost Ring King Variant Familiar, it’s hard enough to find two ordinary familiars that look exactly the same, let alone a Variant. And this is Eagaria, not the Dragon Nation, so I’m quite curious about that Ghost Ring King."
As she spoke, she looked over at Qiao Sang. "Aren’t you curious?"
Curious? Extremely curious... Qiao Sang glanced at Teacher Mikara, remaining silent, which was a tacit acknowledgment.
Migala laughed, handing over a stack of documents. "This is some information about that Ghost Ring King. Take a look."
Qiao Sang took the documents, his face showing surprise. "The Police Station provided this?"
Migala nodded.
Being an S-Class Beastmaster really had its perks. In such a short time, they managed to get such detailed information... Qiao Sang quickly scanned through the documents. When he saw what the Ghost Ring King had done, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
[March 20: Stole a lady’s clothes.]
[March 26: Stole a familiar’s artifacts.]
[April 11: Pretended to be captured and released 17 wild familiars.]
[May 17: Pretended to bond with a man, infiltrated his home, and took all valuable items, including food.]
[June 24: Shattered all the glass in a school.]
[...]
[July 2: Stripped a man naked and left him at the police station entrance.]
[August 10: Stole a student’s homework.]
[September 1: Kidnapped a Beastmaster’s newly bonded familiar.]
[...]
“Xunxun...”
Treasure Seeker leaned in, looking at the documents with a serious expression.
Migala spoke calmly, "I have a task for you. Find this Ghost Ring King within a week."
Qiao Sang looked up, asking, "Will I get credits for completing this task?"
Migala paused for a moment. "Yes."
Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. "How many?"
"It depends on how well you complete it", Migala replied.
...
9:30 PM.
Bosai Manor, Room 101.
Bedroom.
How could there be a Ghost Ring King that looks so much like Treasure Seeker... Qiao Sang half-reclined on the bed, staring at the wanted notice on his laptop screen, feeling amazed for the nth time.
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker was indignant, lodging a passionate complaint.
This creature was truly despicable!
It had to be caught!
How dare it do so many bad things while looking so much like it!
"Qingqing."
Qingbao glanced at the photo on the screen and called out, indicating that it wasn’t just similar, but almost identical.
"Fangy."
Fangy nodded in agreement.
It really was that similar...
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker became even angrier.
What if people mistook it for that creature in the future? How could it hold its head high outside!
Qiao Sang comforted, "Don’t worry, just use some Invisibility Powder when you go out. This guy will be caught eventually."
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker’s mood sank.
How could he find it...
What if he couldn’t find it...
"How could you not find it?" Qiao Sang said gently. "We managed to find Happy Seed in that huge Mystic Rift."
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker perked up, feeling a glimmer of hope.
"Steel Blade."
At that moment, Steel Treasure, who had been deep in thought, called out, suggesting the possibility that the other one might have transformed into Treasure Seeker Big Brother’s appearance.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Treasure Seeker: “!!!”
Fangy: “!!!”
