A light finally appeared not far away, getting closer and closer to the source of the fragrance.
Little Taotie started to run excitedly, sprinting toward that direction.
Big White Wolf felt conflicted inside.
It was afraid of that old man, who always injected various strange things into it and its companions, administering the injections periodically, and with each session, some of its companions would die.
Each time, those needles made it feel terrible pain, as if its bones were being shattered, and even vomiting and diarrhea seemed like mild symptoms.
It was quite fortunate to have survived by the skin of its teeth every time.
Initially, it was also confused, until it was forced to absorb the little transparent figures from the bottles.
As it absorbed more and more, it gradually developed intelligence, and among its companions, a few were even smarter than it.
This was also the first time it had been sent out to eat children; before, the old man had sent out a wolf that had been transformed into a Husky disguise, but on one occasion, it bit off a child’s arm, and the child actually died. The child didn’t enter a bottle after death but became very ferocious, as if even the old man was unable to cope.
Listening to the old man’s conversation with a man dressed in black and wearing a Ghost Face Mask, the child had become a troublesome Evil Spirit.
Although it had developed intelligence, there were still some things it couldn’t quite understand, but it knew that both the old man and the Masked Man were very tense and scared.
Big White Wolf looked at Little Taotie; it also hoped that this human cub could scare the old fellows, but then it thought of the Little Cub’s gentle kiss, and it feared that the Little Cub might get hurt.
Big White Wolf suddenly sprinted forward, racing ahead of Little Taotie, blocking its path.
Little Taotie stopped, blinking its innocent eyes, "What are you doing? I’m going to eat barbecue! Aren’t you hungry too? Why are you stopping me?"
Big White Wolf grunted for a long time, helplessly, because its mouth was bound, but actually, even if its mouth was untied, its howls wouldn’t have been understood by the human cub and it started to dig the ground anxiously with its paws.
Little Taotie tilted its head and watched for a long time, noticing that the little white flower on its head was crying and was somewhat bewildered, then tentatively asked, "You don’t want me to eat the barbecue?"
Big White Wolf nodded its big head.
"Why? I’m hungry, don’t you want to eat the barbecue? You’re drooling!"
Big White Wolf did want to eat, but it knew this donkey barbecue wasn’t going to come easily; only if it harmed the human cub, biting off a piece of human flesh, could it get a piece of the donkey meat in exchange.
The wolf companions in the past were like that, if they didn’t bring back human flesh, they would be shocked with electricity, have their fur burned off, be whipped, subjected to various abuse.
Seeing Big White Wolf suddenly start trembling for no apparent reason, Little Taotie tentatively asked, "Is there danger?"
Big White Wolf hung its head, nodding listlessly.
Little Taotie sat down where it was, its little head spinning rapidly.
——I am already an employee of the Special Department, and I came out to work today; I almost forgot about that!
It’s all because of hunger that makes my mind goes blank as if my phone were jammed.
Little Taotie took out the last Resentment Candy, intending to save it, to share it with Hua Jinyan once he woke up.
Looking at Hua Jinyan, unconscious, and then at the "Puppy" expecting her gaze, the little one sighed helplessly, "I’ll unbind you, but you can’t bite people anymore! I know you bite only when you’re really hungry, so let’s split this candy between us!"
