Chapter 2083 Perfunctory

A dynamo is placed inside a living organism.

If these insane intentions continuously erode the transformed creatures through the conduit, could this affect the creatures’ personalities?

Angel thought of this and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He had great expectations for the dynamo. If it truly affects the personalities of living organisms, even subtly and imperceptibly, Angel saw this as an indelible flaw.

He hoped it wouldn’t be as he thought.

Since the dynamo can only be activated inside a living organism, Angel currently couldn’t continue his research on it and could only wait for Boil Gentleman to return.

In the meantime, Angel turned his attention to the spotted puppy.

He had never had the chance to study the spotted puppy before. Now, with some free time, he planned to find out the reason for its arrival this time.

At the moment, the spotted puppy was next to a precious birdcage, incessantly barking at it, as if conversing with the Void Traveler. However, Angel didn’t sense any mental power fluctuations between them, indicating that the spotted puppy was talking to itself, and the Void Traveler was ignoring it.

Even though it was being ignored, the spotted puppy didn’t seem to realize it was being snubbed, instead becoming even more excited.

Angel approached the spotted puppy, petted its head, and when he was sure it was looking at him, he asked, “I’ve been meaning to ask you, why did you sneak out again this time?”

The spotted puppy barked twice, seemingly responding to Angel’s question.

But Angel knew well that the sound of the spotted puppy’s bark, soulless as it was, carried no meaning and was absolutely Perfunctory.

Yet, looking into the spotted puppy’s clear, innocent eyes, Angel couldn’t help but doubt himself. Was he wrong, and the spotted puppy wasn’t being perfunctory?

After pondering, Angel decided to communicate with the spotted puppy using mental power.

He slowly extended his mental power tendril to the spotted puppy’s forehead.

This action was actually quite dangerous, as most creatures’ foreheads are not as hard as imagined. If Angel had malicious intentions, he could control the mental power tendril to pierce through the spotted puppy’s forehead and crush its brain.

If it were any other creature, it would probably start resisting by now, but the spotted puppy just tilted its head and continued to look innocently at Angel, showing no suspicion of his actions.

Angel tried to transmit his thoughts to the spotted puppy through the mental power tendril.

He fully expected the spotted puppy to understand him this time and respond via mental power.

However… it was silently unresponsive.

It wasn’t completely unresponsive, though. The spotted puppy still tilted its head and used a soulless voice to bark a few times at Angel.

Angel now understood that he wasn’t wrong in his judgment; no matter how innocent the spotted puppy’s eyes were, there was no doubt it was being perfunctory with him.

The previous experience in Sleepless City gave Angel absolute confidence in the spotted puppy’s intelligence.

This guy simply didn’t want to answer.

Perhaps the spotted puppy felt that by barking twice, it had “responded” to Angel’s question. So, it turned its head back to the precious birdcage and continued to excitedly bark at the Void Traveler inside.

Angel’s eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long moment, he spoke again: “Are you interested in this Void Traveler?”

The dialogue falls quiet, and Angel clearly sees a burst of shining light in the eyes of the spotted puppy.

The spotted puppy turns its head, panting towards Angel with a tongue full of hot air, and then barks incessantly.

Angel clearly feels that the bark this time is full of soul, absolutely different from the perfunctory call it made to him before.

Moreover, even if Angel scores zero in puppy language, he can still hear from the barking that it is indeed very interested in this Void Traveler.

Perhaps, the barking of the spotted puppy in the outside laboratory earlier was not because there was prey caught in the hunting net, but because there was such a caught Void Traveler here?

“Do you want this Void Traveler?” Angel asked.

The spotted puppy’s eyes burst out with intense light again, barking even more joyfully. It is showing with its actions that it indeed really wants this Void Traveler.

After all, this was caught by Boil Gentleman, Angel definitely couldn’t decide to let the Void Traveler go on his own.

So, facing the expectant eyes of the spotted puppy, he did not give a reply, but asked another question:

“Why are you interested in it?”

Angel’s question was answered with two barks from the spotted puppy… the kind without a soul.

The spotted puppy was obviously perfunctory again.

This made Angel even more curious. He had previously thought that the spotted puppy’s interest in the Void Traveler might stem from “novelty”; just like cats, which have a persistent desire to explore any unfamiliar thing.

But the perfunctory attitude of the spotted puppy made Angel feel that it might not be just because of novelty, but perhaps there is something about this Void Traveler that is attracting it.

This thing attracting the spotted puppy even made it perfunctory towards his question… Angel guessed, could it be that the spotted puppy feels that he is also interested in the Void Traveler, so it doesn’t want to tell him.

Angel thought for a moment and said, “I am not interested in this Void Traveler. If you want to get it, I can hint to Boil Gentleman later. But first, you have to tell me, why are you interested in it?”

The spotted puppy tilted its head and thought for a moment, then barked excitedly: “Woof Woof——”

“Although your bark is louder than before, and the emotions displayed are more in place, but… no soul is still no soul.”

The spotted puppy barked a few more times, but still, it was meaningless barking.

Angel sighed. It seems the spotted puppy really doesn’t want to say.

“It’s okay if you don’t talk about this, then let’s go back to discussing why you sneaked here?”

This time, the bark of the spotted puppy finally had a soul. But this time, it did not bark towards Angel, nor towards the direction of the precious birdcage, but looked intently straight ahead at the dome.

Following its gaze, Angel sees sparse points of light emerging in the dark void outside the dome.

These lights, although not large, are like broken starlight in the endless darkness, instantly attracting Angel’s attention.

The lights become more and more numerous, also denser.

Just as the lights are about to cover a large part of the void, they suddenly disappear.

But their disappearance does not signify the end.

On the contrary, it seems like it’s brewing something even more terrifying…
