Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 43 The trouble he caused wasn’t big enough.Outside the shop, Jiang Feng had already returned to his original snake form.

The moment he heard the police sirens, he immediately retracted his domain.

He had originally intended to escape on his own, but considering there were too many eyewitnesses around,

fleeing would only invite unnecessary trouble; it was better to stay put and play innocent.

This wave of fear points harvesting had earned him a tidy profit; fifty-one people had each generated an average of about three hundred fear points.

He had reaped a full fifteen thousand.

If he had more time, or if he had slaughtered the sheep more slowly, the fear points generated would have been far more than this.

Furthermore, the eight strong men killing each other at the end hadn’t generated any fear points.

However, Jiang Feng was satisfied; acquiring fear points was a long-term job, and it couldn’t be rushed.

Opportunities to punish villains who coveted his body were rare and shouldn’t be missed.

The police escorted the four people from inside out; besides them, several others who had emerged from the kitchen and restrooms followed behind.

Su Ling was among them.

”Xiao Bai.” Su Ling ran over nervously, only feeling relieved after seeing that Jiang Feng was completely unharmed.

Being trapped in the restroom for no reason earlier had scared her to death, and she had no idea what had happened.

”There is another snake here.” Just then, an officer pointed at Jiang Feng.

”Has this snake been here the whole time?” Several police officers gathered around as well.

”It should be.”

”Go ask the eyewitnesses around here.”

Soon, an officer went to ask, and before long he returned, ”I just asked; they said this snake was indeed here the whole time, except it seems this area was hidden along with the shop earlier.”

”This snake is still conscious and hasn’t fainted. Should we take it back to the police station? Theoretically, it is also a suspect.”

”Are you stupid! Such a huge snake, how are you going to take it back? And if you do, how do you plan to interrogate it?”

An officer posed the soul-searching question.

Just then, Captain Zhang Tao arrived with a few people.

”What happened here?”

”Captain Zhang, why are you here?”

”I was nearby handling a case and rushed over after hearing what happened here.”

”Some bizarre things happened here; dozens of customers in the restaurant, including the landlady and several staff members, have fainted for no reason.”

”Fainted for no reason?” Captain Zhang Tao frowned; Jiang Huaian and his group had also fainted for no reason yesterday.

Captain Zhang Tao glanced at the Big White Snake and Su Ling; was it a coincidence that this human and snake were also here?

”Student Su Ling, why are you here?”

”Officer Zhang, Xiao Bai and I came here to buy roast lamb to eat.”

”Did you encounter anything strange?”

”I don’t know. I went to the restroom, and when I wanted to come out, I found I couldn’t.”

”Is this your Big White Snake? It’s much larger than I remember! Are you sure it’s the same white snake?”

Captain Zhang Tao scrutinized the Big White Snake; this was his first time seeing the Big White Snake, though he had heard of it countless times before.

When he truly saw it, he was inwardly slightly shocked.

It was too big; a snake couldn’t possibly be this large.

Either this snake was not the same one as before, or there must be something peculiar about it.

”Officer Zhang, Xiao Bai grows a bit fast, but it eats a lot. I just ordered two whole roast lambs for it here.”

”Is that so? Even if it eats a lot, it couldn’t possibly grow this fast, right? I suggest notifying the Security Bureau to come and investigate.”

”Is that necessary? Officer Zhang, I know what Xiao Bai is like best. Although it is big, it has never hurt anyone; it is a kind snake.”

”Student Su Ling, this is for your own good. If the people from the Security Bureau check the snake and find no issues, then you can rest assured, right? If there is a problem, it will just help you resolve a potential crisis.”

What to do?

Su Ling felt somewhat anxious; she knew of Xiao Bai’s abnormalities better than anyone else.

It was just that deep down, she didn’t want to believe that Xiao Bai was bad, nor did she want Xiao Bai to be anything but good.

If the people from the Security Bureau found out, they would definitely take Xiao Bai away.

”Officer Zhang, Xiao Bai is my pet. I have watched it grow up since it was small, and its behavior has never been out of line. I am willing to vouch for it with the honor of the Su Family.”

”The Su Family? Which Su Family?”

”The Su Family, the richest in Su City. Su Qi is my grandfather.”

”So you are the granddaughter of the Su Family. No wonder Principal Wu protected you before.”

”Didn’t Captain Zhang already know?”

”Miss Su, you personally cannot represent the honor of the Su Family.”

”What do you mean?”

”Unless your grandfather vouches for you, we will have to transport this white snake back to the police station.”

”You are abusing your enforcement power; I will file a complaint.”

”Miss Su, knocking out dozens of people simultaneously is hard for an ordinary person to do, and your Big White Snake, given its size, could do it much more easily than an ordinary person.”

”You are framing us. What evidence do you have that these people were knocked out by Xiao Bai?”

”We aren’t saying it knocked them out, but it is a prime suspect.”

”Officer Zhang, it is just a snake. Do you really think a snake could do something like this?”

”Miss Su, what are you nervous about? Is it really just an ordinary snake? If it really is an ordinary snake, we will naturally release it when the time comes.”

Damn, this son-of-a-bitch officer actually wants to take me away.

My Owner can’t even protect me now.

What should I do? Should I resist now?

If I resist, I can easily escape from their hands, but after escaping, I won’t be able to appear in human society normally again.

Jiang Feng began to ponder a countermeasure in his heart.

It really is quite a dilemma for a snake!

”Wait, let me call my grandfather.” Su Ling seemed to have made up her mind.

She took out her phone and dialed a number she didn’t contact often.

”Hello, Grandfather, this is Su Ling. I have something I want to ask of you...”

Five minutes later, Su Ling hung up the phone, her eyes somewhat red.

”Officer Zhang, my grandfather has agreed to vouch for me.”

Captain Zhang Tao did not reply; he was waiting for a call.

Soon, the Bureau Chief’s call came through. Captain Zhang Tao pressed the answer button, and the Chief’s voice came from the other side.

”Captain Zhang Tao, I already understand the situation. Old Master Su just spoke up; that white snake is a new breed that their Su Family specifically imported from abroad, and it’s normal for it to grow fast. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. Old Master Su helped you get an advanced training spot in the provincial capital; you must seize this opportunity well!”

”Understood, thank you, Chief, and thank you to Old Master Su.” A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Captain Zhang Tao’s face.

”Miss Su, I offended you just now. Your white snake has no issues; you may take it and go.”

”Mm.” Su Ling responded indifferently.

This was settled just like that?

Jiang Feng, who had already planned to run away, was extremely surprised.

It seems his Owner has quite a lot of influence; it looks like the trouble he caused wasn’t big enough.

Jiang Feng played dumb on the side, listening to their conversation clearly.
