Chapter 343: Not a Big Deal
Chapter 343: Not a Big Deal
The Fortune Seeker disappeared, but the Mystic Rift remained.
Captain said in a grave voice, "Report it immediately!"
"Yes, sir!" The female officer beside him responded and moved to the side to make a call.
While Mystic Rifts are no longer rare, they are still a global phenomenon.
The sudden appearance of a Mystic Rift in Misty Town was still quite nerve-wracking.
However, despite the tension, there was no fear.
As long as the government promptly sent personnel to secure the area around the Mystic Rift and confirmed it was safe, many people would come to check it out before it disappeared, boosting the local economy.
In a sense, it was a good thing for the local government.
Qiao Sang turned to Wu Chang, intending to tell him what had just happened, but before she could speak, a group of police officers surrounded her, each holding a high-intensity flashlight.
The bright light was blinding.
"Are you okay, student? Don't be afraid, we're here!" a young officer reassured her.
What was there to be afraid of? The situation was over by the time they arrived... Qiao Sang smiled. "I'm fine."
"Where is the other person?" another officer asked.
Qiao Sang looked up into the sky. "He was grabbed by a familiar inside the Mystic Rift."
Everyone was stunned by this statement.
Grabbed by a familiar?
Didn't that person have a Mighty Flying Owl, a Mischief Spirit, and a Timekeeper?
A Beastmaster with three Champion-level familiars was grabbed by a familiar in the Mystic Rift?
That familiar on the other side must be incredibly strong.
"What kind of familiar grabbed him?" Wu Chang asked, his face filled with concern.
Although everything was fake, and Zhang Rongtang's intentions were not pure, he still felt a subconscious worry.
Qiao Sang shook her head. "I don't recognize it, but it was huge, covered in steel. It must be a Steel Familiar."
Wu Chang's face turned pale. He didn't want anything to happen to Zhang Rongtang.
At that moment, an officer nearby asked, "What about the wild beast companion?"
The officer's eyes kept darting towards Fangy and Lulu, his expression one of amazement.
No wonder the Beastmaster with three Champion-level familiars tried to force a bond. Whichever of these two wild beast companions he wanted to bond with, the beauty alone would make a Bond Slot worth it!
But where was the Flame Listener? The officer looked around.
Compared to the unfamiliar wild beast companions, he was more interested in Fangflare's new Evolution Form, which had been reported recently.
"Also went into the Mystic Rift", Qiao Sang answered.
The officer was taken aback.
Also went into the Hidden Realm? So, these two familiars are?
"Are these two familiars yours?" the Captain asked.
Everyone looked at her with puzzled expressions.
Clearly, they had assumed one of these familiars was the wild beast companion.
Qiao Sang was bewildered by the question. "Of course, they're mine."
There was a moment of silence.
A few seconds later, everyone burst into chaos.
"Aren't you a junior?"
"Where is your Flame Listener?"
"Then whose Treasure Seeker is this?"
"Doesn't this familiar look a lot like Flame Listener?" This question made everyone fall silent again.
All the officers focused on the familiar, whose size and presence clearly indicated it was not an Intermediate Familiar.
Indeed, it did look similar.
Both had white and red fur, and both were canine familiars...
A wild guess formed in their minds, but it was so far-fetched that no one dared to voice it.
They all looked at Qiao Sang, hoping for an answer.
Faced with the officers' gazes, Qiao Sang calmly said, "Shouldn't we go back to the station and make a statement first?"
All the officers: "..."
A statement was definitely necessary, but before making it, Qiao Sang remembered something: Had the Mighty Flying Owl been taken by the uncle?
She told the police about it, and everyone spent about twenty minutes searching.
After confirming that Mighty Flying Owl wasn't there, it must have been taken back by the uncle. Qiao Sang then sat on Fangy, with Treasure Seeker perched on her head and Lulu in her arms, and set off for the Police Station alongside the police.
Just as they were about to leave the clearing, a cold breeze blew, carrying a small piece of paper about 5 centimeters in size and blowing it onto Lulu.
"Lulu."
Lulu disdainfully pinched it with her claws and tossed it aside.
Another cold breeze blew, sticking the paper directly to Treasure Seeker's face.
"Seeker..."
Treasure Seeker used her claws to remove the paper, looked at it curiously, and then casually threw it into the Ring.
...
Hongrao Town.
Police Station.
"Name?"
"Qiao Sang."
"Age?"
"15."
"How old?! 15?!" The police officer taking the statement suddenly raised his voice, looking up with disbelief.
Qiao Sang was startled. "Is there a problem with 15?"
"No, no!" The police officer shook his head and asked, "If you don't have your ID card, do you have your Beastmaster Badge?"
The Beastmaster Badge can also verify one's real name and age.
It was already two hours later when Qiao Sang finally left the Police Station.
Wu Chang also came out with her.
Qiao Sang noticed that he seemed off.
She could understand Wu Chang's feelings.
Anyone would be upset if, in just a few hours, the familiar and the person they had been with for so long suddenly disappeared.
Qiao Sang asked, "Are you okay?"
Wu Chang lowered his gaze and replied calmly, "I'm fine."
Qiao Sang glanced at him and then looked down at Lulu. "Sing one."
"Lu~Lulululu~Lulu~Lulu~"
Lulu started singing.
Singing one was the same as casting Healing Waves, and Lulu understood.
An invisible wave of sound rippled out.
Qiao Sang asked again, "Are you okay?"
Wu Chang turned his head, his clear eyes showing a hint of confusion. "Ah? I'm fine, of course."
Qiao Sang smiled. "That's good."
They chatted for a while, and when they were about to part ways, Wu Chang suddenly said softly, "Thank you."
"It's fine", Qiao Sang replied.
She knew Wu Chang wasn't thanking her for the Healing Waves just now.
...
10:12 PM.
Qiao Sang, with Treasure Seeker on her head and Lulu in her arms, returned to her room in a good mood.
As for Fangy, due to its Evolution, its size was too large to fit in the already small double room, so Qiao Sang put it in the Beastmaster Codex.
As soon as she entered the room, Xu Yixuan sat up from the bed and asked, "Why are you back so late? I called you several times, but you didn't answer, and I was so worried."
"I didn't check my phone", Qiao Sang said, removing her school uniform and jokingly adding, "Why were you so worried? Did you think I'd disappeared or something?"
Xu Yixuan nodded. "Yeah."
Qiao Sang: "..."
Xu Yixuan, looking nervous, said, "You don't know. The sirens were blaring for a long time. I went outside to see what was happening, and it looked like all the police were out. I don't know what big deal it was."
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "It wasn't a big deal. It was just a Mystic Rift."
Xu Yixuan: "!!!"
Xu Yixuan's eyes widened in shock. "You're telling me this isn't a big deal?!"
Qiao Sang, who had completely forgotten her own reaction when she first saw the Mystic Rift, calmly said, "It's just a Mystic Rift. There are so many on the internet, and I've seen them before."
Xu Yixuan looked at Qiao Sang with admiration, thinking that whether in terms of mindset or strength, Qiao Sang had all the makings of a future leader.
Qiao Sang checked the time, but instead of going to wash up, she took off her shoes and half-reclined on the bed, entering the Beastmaster Codex.
