Chapter 23 Time-Type Pet!? (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes)
Luo Qingyue was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Lu Yu's expression didn't seem to be lying, she stiffly turned her head and glanced at the big pit beside her.
Among the numerous rubble stones, the incomplete remains of a frog-like pet could still be vaguely seen, suggesting it had suffered inhuman abuse.
but……
Wasn't it supposed to be an inside job?
How did I turn into a frog?
Is this a dark version of The Frog Prince?
But at least a kiss can break the curse, but all you have left is a pile of wreckage. Who would recognize where the mouth is?
"you……"
Although she wanted to question whether the other party was playing her, Luo Qingyue, who aspired to become a legendary investigator, always kept in mind a sentence written on the title page of the "Investigator's Book," written by the first legendary investigator, and took it as her lifelong motto.
Practice is the ladder to truth!
Without putting it into practice, it's all just empty talk.
No matter how bizarre the evidence may seem, we must remain skeptical and respectful in order to find the right clues.
Moreover, she did indeed sense a faint aura of the dead in the pit, which seemed somewhat out of place in this vibrant peach blossom forest.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyue tossed the hat to the lion-faced deer, took off her tactical glasses, bit the temple of the glasses with her mouth, took out a hair tie, and tied her smooth long hair into a high ponytail, the process was clean and neat.
After tying her hair up, her expression suddenly calmed down, her gaze sharpened, and she scanned her surroundings, quickly finding a pile of scattered puppet fragments on the ground.
She picked up a small amount with her fingers, gently twisted it, and the surface, imbued with magical power, turned to ash. She brought her delicate nose close to sniff, and murmured to herself:
"The smell of rotting leather and the faint stench of internal organs indicate that it is a cursed puppet made after eating all the internal organs and flesh. There are many such puppets, but it can use cursed puppet techniques. It belongs to the undead category and is also a frog. So, only the Ghost Face Cursed Frog is left."
Judging from the number of puppet fragments found here, it can be inferred that hundreds of frog and bird puppets were made. In this case, the strength of this Ghost Face Cursed Frog should be between the early and mid-elite level. It did not pass through the weakened period, but it is not weak either.
Logically speaking, given its cautious and cunning nature, it should have engaged you in ranged attacks to wear you down. But why was it cut in half by a sharp weapon near the riverbank, and why did it seem to be severely injured before being killed, until it was completely dead...?
She calmly simulated and deduced the process by constantly reasoning based on the surrounding environment.
"Such terrifying reasoning ability."
At first, Lu Yu was puzzled as to why the other party didn't ask about the process and instead played a reasoning game, which seemed a bit absurd. However, after listening to the explanation, all that remained in his eyes was shock.
After he extracted the cursed organs, the Ghost Face Cursed Frog's corpse was reduced to mere remnants, and the rest of the cursed puppets were almost completely destroyed by the little spider.
Even if you're not a professional who studies frog-like pets, you'll need to spend some time identifying them, and may even need to use instruments to assist you.
However, this girl named Luo Qingyue quickly located the Ghost Face Cursed Frog from some debris and the environment, and even deduced most of the entire battle process.
Is this ability really just for an intern investigator?
Alliance Investigator is an extremely special position, reporting directly to the highest human authority—the Supreme Council.
Their duties include everything from purging evil cults and investigating environmental anomalies to examining the development of human cities. In critical moments, they can even mobilize a portion of the military, wielding immense power, much like imperial envoys combined with special forces in the past.
Becoming an investigator, even an intern, is like a meteoric rise to the top.
But even investigators can't possibly have all interns who are geniuses with extremely high IQs, right?
If that were true, humanity would have already dominated the entire world.
"Don't be so surprised. I used to be a full-fledged investigator, but I was temporarily demoted due to some issues."
Luo Qingyue raised her head, her eyes clear and bright. Lu Yu met her gaze, as if they were looking at the moon in the water or exploring the bamboo by the clouds.
She pursed her lips and calmly explained:
"Moreover, this reasoning process is not difficult; one can deduce it simply by understanding the relevant information. As stated in 'The Investigator's Book,' knowledge is the investigator's strongest weapon, enabling them to find the right direction amidst countless fogs. This applies to finding the truth as well as studying myths."
When she enters investigator mode, Luo Qingyue becomes serious, calm, and humble, losing some of her charm but exuding a dashing and cool aura.
At this point, Luo Qingyue untied her headband, her black hair falling to her waist, a hint of weariness in her eyes, and she put on tactical glasses, a smile playing on her lips.
"Ding! Legendary investigator Luo Qianqiu has logged off. I, the mythology scholar Luo Qingyue, am now in charge!"
She had a bright smile, revealing slightly sharp canine teeth. Although she was pretty, it was still different from Luo Qingyue in her previous "detective mode".
His work style has changed significantly; he's more enthusiastic and energetic, but the impression he gives is...
It's like the difference between a clumsy, adorable rabbit and a noble, intelligent white fox. This is...
Schizophrenia?
"I have a feeling you're thinking something rather presumptuous." Luo Qingyue stretched, wiggled her name tag, and looked at Lu Yu as if he were a rare treasure. She said incredulously, "The culprit is a frog, which is indeed unexpected. But what surprises me is that you, as a Bronze Beast Tamer, actually defeated an elite Ghost-Faced Cursed Frog with only a mid-level servant pet."
Lu Yu said modestly, "I was lucky to encounter the Ghost Face Curse Frog that hadn't yet overcome its weakened state."
"Luck is also a part of ability!" Luo Qingyue snorted, speaking with an air of maturity. "Not every lucky person can grasp the right future. Young man, sometimes excessive humility is also a form of arrogance!"
Lu Yu faced a Ghost Face Cursed Frog that possessed a large number of cursed puppets and could curse opponents from a distance. He was perfectly tricked and killed by Lu Yu.
Moreover, after surviving a major battle, he didn't even suffer minor injuries, which cannot be explained by mere luck.
The only downside is that they went too far.
A creature with great potential for leadership has been reduced to dust...
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyue reminded her, "Generally speaking, only living Ghost Face Cursed Frogs are valuable. Yours is almost reduced to ashes, and the materials are probably gone, so it's completely worthless. In that case, without video evidence to prove your innocence, you won't be able to exchange it for school points..."
Lu Yu frowned. In fact, he had the Ghost Face Curse Frog material as evidence, but he would most likely have to hand it over to get points. However, he wanted to use it to make that special skill food, which could greatly enhance the little spider's strength.
However, he couldn't tell Luo Qingyue these things, so Lu Yu cooperated by showing a regretful expression, his eyes dimming, and sighing:
"Then forget it. Because the cameras in this area have been repeatedly damaged, no new ones have been installed."
Lu Yu was genuinely heartbroken at missing out on another opportunity to take advantage of the school.
For capitalists,
Earning less is the same as losing money, isn't it?
Luo Qingyue was also somewhat disappointed. She had thought that a major event had occurred that would allow her to make great strides, but it turned out that someone had dealt with it ahead of time.
It feels like finding a boyfriend you really like, but in the heat of the moment, you realize he's already lighting a cigarette.
Suddenly, it all lost its appeal.
Wait, the criminal is gone, but we can still watch this battle!
A thrilling battle where the underdog triumphed over the strong!
The more Luo Qingyue thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Although that ability comes at a price, it's worth doing someone a favor and investing in a promising young person in advance.
Angel investor, that's her specialty!
Luo Qingyue said with a smile:
"But it's not like there's no way. After all, I, Luo Qingyue, am known for my fun...and generosity. I have a way to help you!"
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu looked at Luo Qingyue's cunning, rabbit-like smile and a bad premonition began to rise in his heart...
However, Luo Qingyue did not explain. She snapped her fingers, and a summoning circle appeared beside her.
A worm resembling a silkworm crawled out of the magic circle. Unlike ordinary snow-white silkworms, it had a small yellow flower on its head. Its body was a withered yellow color, not because it was rotting, but because it resembled unprotected pages of a book, gradually withering and yellowing under the erosion of time.
It carries within it a trace of the passage of time.
This is……
A time-based pet!?
