I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Zhang Yangqing didn't answer. He remembered Rule 21: "If you find your vision blurring and you experience vomiting, please go to the shelter as soon as possible."

This is where the rules are indicated, but they can't go in yet.

Zhang Yangqing said to the two people next to him, "Before we go in, we need to find some human remains and some pets."

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes frowned slightly and said, "I understand what you mean, brother. If we want to infiltrate, finding pets would be a suitable excuse, and there are so many pet shops around, which are clues and hints. But what do you mean by looking for human remains?"

The white-collar man nodded but didn't speak, because he knew that finding human remains in Yudu was neither particularly difficult nor easy.

Of course, there is another way, which is for the big boss to kill them, leaving behind human corpses.

But he believed that the two of them were still useful, and that he had just performed very well, so the big boss shouldn't take action.

In other words, if Zhang Yangqing really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to resist.

Zhang Yangqing explained, "We might encounter trouble inside. The human remains might be the key to activating some of the 'pets'."

This explanation is indeed quite confusing.

However, there is actually a hint here. Remember when Zhang Yangqing was riding the sightseeing bus, the bus stopped at a gas station, but the gas station was not operating.

If you find human remains and put them in a gas station, you can extract oil to refuel the sightseeing bus, allowing it to continue running.

Since human remains are mentioned here, Zhang Yangqing figured they were probably not meant to be eaten by the rats, but rather to initiate some kind of project.

In fact, many dangers in the world of ghost stories are foreshadowed; it just depends on whether the chosen one can guess them.

Even if someone like Zhang Yangqing can guess the answer, they might not be right, but being prepared is definitely the right thing to do.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes and the high-level executive didn't dare to ask any more questions. Zhang Yangqing had already explained it to them, and they still didn't understand. If the big boss disliked them, the big boss might just turn into a "human corpse" on the spot.

Therefore, there are some things that a subordinate should know when to stop.

The two exchanged a glance and silently followed.

Zhang Yangqing led the two of them back to the street they had just passed.

The scene here is completely different from that at the shelter. Although the shops on both sides of the street are still distorted, their signs are more and more flamboyant.

The sign for "Blood Moon Pet House" is made of bent dark red neon tubes, with crooked lettering that looks like flowing blood.

The sign for "Shadow Garden" is a black stone slab with glowing green runes engraved on it. The runes are slowly wriggling, as if they are breathing.

The signboard of "Soul-Eating Bird Workshop" is the simplest, just a wooden sign with a bird with outstretched wings painted on it in white paint, but the bird's eyes are blood red, and no matter which angle you look at it from, it seems to be staring at you.

Zhang Yangqing stood at the street corner, glanced at the three shops, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Controlling bizarre pets? Interesting."

A beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes leaned closer and asked curiously, "Big brother, do you know anything about this stuff?"

Zhang Yangqing casually said, "I used to work in this industry, and my pet beasts were pretty powerful."

At this point, Zhang Yangqing did indeed think of his pet beasts.

I wonder if that cute and innocent little squirrel will get bullied?

Zhang Yangqing really didn't want to see it use the trump card he had left for it.

And those monkeys... well, they should be able to take care of themselves, they shouldn't die.

Thankfully, the monkeys didn't know about this idea, otherwise they would definitely be resentful: Master, aren't our lives worth living too!

While his mind wandered, Zhang Yangqing quickly reviewed the characteristics of the three shops in front of him. The first one was "Blood Moon Pet House".

Several iron cages were displayed in the shop window, containing all sorts of strange and unusual pets.

Some were covered in scales, some had several tails, and some had sparks constantly coming out of their mouths.

A burly man stood at the door, over two meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body and black lines crawling all over his arms.

His eyes were blood red, and he was leaning against the door frame listlessly, chewing on an unknown bone with a loud crunching sound.

Zhang Yangqing smelled a strong stench of blood wafting from deep within the shop, mixed with the foul odor of some wild animal.

He deduced that these were likely combat-type bizarre pets, like the hunting dogs that passersby led around, their bodies radiating fire.

This type of pet is strong in combat, but it has a bad temper and is difficult to control.

The second one is called "Shadow Beast Garden".

The store has no shop window, only a heavy black wooden door with no handle, just a small recess about the size of a palm.

The walls of the shop were covered with black vines, which were slowly wriggling as if they were alive.

Occasionally, tiny, glowing insects would crawl out from the gaps in the vines and then burrow back in.

Standing at the door, Zhang Yangqing felt a chilling aura seeping out from the crack in the door, carrying an indescribable dampness and fishy smell.

He deduced that the pets here were likely parasitic, such as eerie snakes hiding in sleeves or insects that could burrow into the skin.

This type of pet is highly elusive, but using it is also risky; a slight mishap can lead to a backlash.

The third one is "Soul-Eating Bird Workshop".

A row of birdcages hangs at the entrance of this shop, containing various birds and other pets.

Some have jet-black feathers and golden eyes; some are snow-white with a tuft of blood-red crest feathers on their heads; and some are extremely small, only the size of a thumb, darting around quickly in their cages.

Several bird stands were displayed in the shop window, with several large birds perched on them. Their eyes were blood red, staring intently at pedestrians on the street.

There was a faint smell of burnt feathers in the air, mixed with a crisp, minty scent.

Zhang Yangqing's gaze lingered on this store the longest.

He remembered rule number 18: "If you see a cockroach with white wings, never eat it."

He didn't know what this rule meant before, but now he roughly understands.

The rules indicate that this item exists, and in order to suppress the energy of the Ancestral Dragon's Tooth, you also need to find the White-winged Cockroach.

Everyone knows this stuff is inedible.

But sometimes, it's not that the chosen ones can't eat it even if they want to; they can be "passively" forced to eat it.

Since you can buy birds, why not find one that can prevent you from being passively eating white-winged cockroaches?
It's only natural for birds to eat insects.

Rather than eating it yourself, let the birds eat it, or let the birds prevent cockroaches from getting into your mouth.

This is the connection between the clues: the shelter, the pets, the white-winged cockroaches, the human remains—everything is a clue.

If the chosen one doesn't consider this point and randomly chooses a powerful pet, then death is not far off.

Zhang Yangqing pulled himself out of his thoughts and walked towards the "Soul-Devouring Bird Workshop". (End of Chapter)
