“Stupid dog, you’ve embarrassed us…”

Outside the town of Bogelie, in a small forest path.

Isaac’s forehead twitched violently: “Because of your foolish actions, that lady almost thought I was a scammer… As a police dog in training, you can’t always just think about eating!”

“I really like that little boy… His secret stash of honey-flavored cookies taste really good.”

Hallock uttered blankly.

“Alright…”

Isaac massaged his forehead, deciding not to discuss this kind of issue with it anymore: “Did you remember the scent?”

“Yes, a little boy and two little girls…”

Aside from other factors, Erha, with enhanced smell recognition, was definitely trustworthy.

“But master… can you defeat the ‘Pied Piper’? ”

Hallock expressed his own opinion.

“Certainly, I’m very strong… And, it might not necessarily be the Pied Piper from the Bogelie legend… You’ve heard the story, right? This town used to be plagued by poisonous snakes, then one day, a piper arrived by invitation, luring away all the snakes with his pipe’s music, but when the townsfolk refused to reward him, the angered Piper cursed all their children to turn into new poisonous snakes… ”

Like discussing with an assistant, Isaac voiced his thoughts: “That might just be a legend, or it might be true. Even if so, the mysterious person in the story should have been long dead… The events this time, I think, might have been instigated by some organization that worships Evil God…Children have higher inspirations, they are more likely to see things they shouldn’t, hear voices they shouldn’t… In some rituals, they can be very useful. ”

“Their ending will be very miserable then…” Unexpectedly, Hallock replied seriously.

“That is why… It is time for me, Sir Isaac, to make a brilliant entrance.”

Isaac struck an ostentatious pose.

But just at that moment, Hallock’s eyes suddenly became even bluer, like two radiant sapphires, and he let out a warning bark, “Woof woof woof!”

Despite having been ‘cultivated’ to understand human language, in critical situations, the language it would naturally use was its own native one.

“Is this… sighting of a spiritual body? Enough to alert Hallock, it must be at least a third-level ‘evil spirit’, or even a fourth-level ‘evil spirit’!”

“Damn, I’m not good at dealing with this kind of enemy.”

Two thoughts quickly flickered across Isaac’s mind.

Immediately after, he did a desperate roll on the ground, moving away from where he previously stood.

Zi La!

Just as he moved away, where he was standing, a layer of pitch-black ice formed on the ground, a bone-chilling chill spreading outwards.

In the midst of his rolling, a talisman appeared in Isaac’s hand, and he quickly pressed it onto his forehead.

The dark talisman morphed into rays of light, covering his eyes and allowing him to see a girl’s spiritual body standing on the icy surface.

She was wearing a black, gothic style long dress, her cheeks heavily smeared with dark makeup, completely obscuring her actual appearance.

At this moment, she was grinning at him with a bloodthirsty smile.

“It’s an evil spirit! It doesn’t look like a wild one, so someone must be controlling it?”

“The only profession that fits this description seems to be the Black Death Society’s fourth-grade—[Ghost Doctor]? They are well versed in the traits of various spiritual bodies and control them for evil deeds…”

“So, the Black Death Society is behind the disappearance of the children? Is it Lady Moon — this Evil God?!”

Isaac’s mind was running wild.

But the next moment, he heard the girl let out a piercing scream.

——Banshee Wail!

His eardrums throbbed with pain and a warm fluid began to flow out of his ears and nose.

If he hadn’t undergone numerous Transcendent baptisms, greatly enhancing his physical condition, he might have died from the scream.

“Aoo!”

Isaac let out a beastly howl, the voice echoing grandly, just like the call of the king of the forest.

In response to his howling, the surrounding forest suddenly shifted.

A multitude of insects crawled out of the dead leaves, forming a black wall.

Not far away, a pack of wolves was desperately running, with the figures of wild boars and brown bears trailing behind them.

This was the ability of the [Beast Master], to tame a large number of wild animals, including even the lower-order Transcendent species!

“The thing that spiritual bodies hate the most is an environment full of life.”

Isaac took this opportunity to run to Hallock: “Run!”

Almost at the same moment he decided to flee, he saw a mini blizzard erupt, with lots of poisonous snakes frozen to death, falling to the ground, becoming fragments.

‘Indeed… ordinary creatures are too weak to fight against spiritual bodies.’

A faint smile appeared on Isaac’s face.

“Hiss hiss!”

The swarm of bugs suddenly split, and a dark green snake passed through the girl’s soul body. It seemed to have bitten something central, causing the girl in the black skirt to stop her pursuit.

“Do you think I only have one dumb dog? No… I have secretly cultivated a lot of helpers, and the most suitable for dealing with soul bodies is this Soul-eating Snake!”

Isaac said triumphantly.

“Master, I’m not a dumb dog…and there’s not just one spiritual body.”

Hallock, following behind Isaac, added a sentence.

“What?”

Isaac almost tripped from the fear.

Only then did he take a serious look around, and his body shuddered.

He saw a child in a green hat peeking down from the branches of a tree on his left.

He saw a headless corpse wandering in front of him.

He saw black hair, densely rolled on the ground around him.

These were all evil spirits and evil spirits of wraith-grade!

“This… Is it a trap?”

“A trap specifically set for me?”

Isaac suddenly felt a chill, he felt that he might slip up this time.

‘I was too careless… Who could think that an ordinary missing case would lead to the Black Death Society, with a [Ghost Doctor] hiding behind the scenes.’

As for the higher fifth level, he did not even dare to think about it.

Because if such a presence took action, it would not let him live until now.

He suddenly felt a chill on his back— that terrifying evil spirit girl was catching up.

Just when Isaac was ready to fight desperately, a chain of flute sounds drifted into the arena.

That melodious and cheerful music involuntarily improved his mood.

Around him, the gloomy atmosphere quickly faded away, the evil spirits and vengeful spirits instantaneously disappeared.

Then, a figure walked out.

“You are… Sean?! Sean Beta?”

Isaac looked at Su Lu and rubbed his eyes.

And Hallock was already very excitedly running to the familiar face holding a flute in front of him, joyfully wagging his tail.

“It’s me…”

Su Lu chuckled.

His current incarnation was just shrouding his outer layer, letting viewers see what they could see. What he was using now was the image he had disguised with the ‘Raven’s Mask’ the last time he met with Isaac.

Otherwise, this man and this dog might start freaking out or uncontrollably turn into monsters right away.
