“Woof woof——”
The spotted puppy, with its short and chubby limbs, clung to Angel’s body, panting a milk-scented breath and excitedly stuck out its tongue, lavishing Angel’s face with licks.
It wasn’t until Angel picked it up and placed it on the table, scratching its chin, that the dog ceased its enthusiastic behavior, groaning in comfort.
“How did you end up here too?” Angel asked, amusing himself with the spotted puppy, his voice cheerful.
The dog didn’t respond as if it didn’t understand Angel’s words, merely wagging its tail like a little fan, expressing its joy at reuniting with Angel.
Angel didn’t believe the dog couldn’t understand human speech. When he first saw it, it pretended to be an ignorant ordinary puppy. But Angel realized after getting to know it better that it certainly understood human speech. Whenever something was in its favor, it understood instantly; but if not, it would feign ignorance.
Indeed, this spotted puppy was the same one Angel had encountered in Sleepless City.
When Angel and his companions fell into Sleepless City, it was thanks to this dog that they were able to leave the city covered by a dome.
Later, the creation of Angel’s mysterious imaginations, this strange technique, was inspired when the dog swallowed him, giving Angel an idea.
Despite its appearance similar to an ordinary puppy, this might very well be a Mysterious Spirit, or rather, a living… Mysterious Object.
“Seems like you don’t want to answer,” Angel said, narrowing his eyes and pinching the dog’s slightly cold, soft ears. “Could it be that you’ve snuck out again without Minister Dim’s knowledge?”
The dog, which had been enthusiastically rubbing against Angel’s palm, paused momentarily at his words, then resumed its act as if nothing had happened, even obediently licking Angel’s palm, feigning complete ignorance.
Unfortunately for the dog, its pause, though less than a second, didn’t escape Angel’s notice.
From its unusual pause, Angel surmised he might have guessed correctly.
“Ah, it has escaped again,” suddenly, a slightly shrill voice came from the dark corridor.
As the voice emerged, the short plush fur on the dog’s body bristled. It turned its head towards the corridor, barking defiantly.
Unfortunately, its barks were in a puppy tone, and its “I am fierce” act carried no threat.
Angel casually stroked the dog’s fur, his gaze fixed quietly on the distant corridor.
With the sound of footsteps approaching, the corridor, which had suddenly darkened, lit up once again. Lamp after lamp reignited with bright flames.
The sudden illumination of the corridor revealed the newcomer’s figure.
It was a figure around 1.5 meters tall, dressed in an old gray-blue suit, wearing a round top hat, with simple leather shoes, and holding a cane with a faint green flame.
If one didn’t look at the face, the attire resembled a destitute gentleman. But regarding the face… unfortunately, he had none.
Although he was dressed, he was an invisible creature. All the skin that was exposed was transparent and invisible.
Having seen just his shoes earlier, Angel guessed he was the same person who had confronted and fought with Rhine. Now, seeing his attire, there was no doubt.
The Boil Gentleman methodically approached the banquet, and although his expression was unseen, certain details in the folds of his clothing revealed his movements to be very graceful.
He slowly made his way towards Angel, and finally, under Angel’s “outwardly casual but inwardly highly vigilant” demeanor, took his place at Angel’s right wrist, clearly his designated spot.
First, the Boil Gentleman deeply bowed to Angel, then nodded at the other guests, especially the Black and White Maids, before taking his seat.
Once seated, the Boil Gentleman, facing the still fiercely “milk fierce” spotted puppy, smiled and said, “Oh my, why so fierce with me? I also helped when you were born.”
The other guests had no reaction to the Boil Gentleman’s words, but they stirred something within Angel.
Did the Boil Gentleman mean… the birth of the spotted puppy was artificially influenced?
To Angel, the spotted puppy was one of the most mysterious creatures he had encountered. Having experienced the world inside the spotted puppy’s stomach, Angel even felt that many out of control Mysterious Objects might not compare to the spotted puppy.
Was such a spotted puppy artificially created? If true, that would be terrifying. In the world within the spotted puppy, Angel saw the rise and fall of countless civilizations and witnessed myriad Mysterious Powers, which laid the foundation for Angel’s later creation of illusory Mysterious Objects.
If someone could create the spotted puppy, even just playing a role in its development, they would need vast knowledge of the Mysterious. To Angel, anyone capable of this was probably very close to the truth.
Was the spotted puppy’s owner, Minister Dim, the creator of the spotted puppy?
While Angel was lost in thought, the spotted puppy continued to bark at the Boil Gentleman, seemingly unfazed by his pleas.
The Boil Gentleman sighed, “Since you’ve found a backer, I’ll have to let you go for now.”
After a pause, the Boil Gentleman looked up at Angel: “You truly are Shava, spot on with your guess.”
Angel didn’t know how to respond, just calmly observing the Boil Gentleman.
“I just received a message from that tentacle monster, this little one, indeed, as Shava had speculated, sneaked out without Minister Dim’s knowledge. The reason the tentacle monster was delayed in attending the banquet was that it was searching for it, not expecting it to arrive at the banquet first.”
Perhaps because the Boil Gentleman said he wouldn’t catch it, the spotted puppy ceased its ferocious display, lying comfortably on the table, enjoying Angel’s strokes.
The Boil Gentleman watched this scene, surprised in his heart.
This spotted puppy, besides showing closeness to Minister Dim, was very fierce to others, but now it showed such a harmless demeanor, quite rare indeed.
Truly the one closest to being the Moonlight’s Chosen.
“Last time it came with Yorkshire, why did it sneak out again this time?” Angel curiously asked.
The Boil Gentleman shook his head: “Who knows, this one has never been calm.”
