Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 88 Little White, Where Are You?”Can’t Sakura Country deal with a single snake?” Director Xia Weiguo was somewhat puzzled.

”It’s said that the Big White Snake destroyed one of their warships. Tanks and ordinary missiles are useless against it. They hope our Dragon Country will use nuclear missiles to eliminate the Big White Snake,” Secretary Song Qingya explained.

”Is there any specific information on that Big White Snake? Can it be confirmed if it’s the same one from Su City?” Director Xia Weiguo continued to press.

Secretary Song Qingya shook her head, ”Director, Sakura Country previously kept the information tightly locked down. We’ve only just learned about the Big White Snake and cannot confirm if it’s the same one.”

Director Xia Weiguo paced back and forth in the office, his tone becoming serious.

”If that Big White Snake really is the one we’re looking for, then it cannot die. We must bring it back and control it.”

”But Director, we can’t confirm if it is, and we don’t have the ability to bring it back,” Secretary Song Qingya said with a troubled expression.

”There is one person who might be able to do it,” Director Xia Weiguo suddenly said.

”Who are you referring to, Director?”

”Su Ling, the first Awakened One. She was also the former owner of the Big White Snake.”

”But the suspicion that the Big White Snake killed her family has not been completely ruled out. If the Big White Snake really is the murderer, it would be very dangerous for Su Ling to go. Moreover, Su Ling’s spirit state...” Secretary Song Qingya worried.

”Didn’t you say that traces of the Eight-Headed Snake Monster were detected in Su City? The Big White Snake might have been framed.”

”Director, we did have surveillance footage capturing the shadow of the Eight-Headed Snake Monster on the road from the Su Family Manor to the river, but this doesn’t completely clear the Big White Snake of suspicion.”

”Have you found the reason why the Su Family’s surveillance suddenly broke?”

”Not yet. It’s suspected that someone sabotaged the surveillance system in advance.”

”There’s no other way right now. We can only send Su Ling to take the risk and try.”

Dragon Country, Hai City Police Station.

Hai City is a coastal city in Dragon Country and also a mega-metropolis.

The Hai City Police Station is far more grand than the Su City Police Department.

Nowadays, the Hai City Police Station has an additional department called the Mysterious Unit.

The Mysterious Unit seemingly belongs to the police department, but it is extremely mysterious. Only the director has the authority to enter the Mysterious Unit; other officers are not allowed to enter the Mysterious Unit area without authorization.

Director Wen Shanghai had just received a phone call and hurried to the Mysterious Unit’s office area.

When the officers in other offices saw the director hurrying to the Mysterious Unit, it immediately piqued their curiosity.

”Hey, what do you think the director is going to the Mysterious Unit for?”

”I don’t know. The director rarely goes to the Mysterious Unit. Since it was established, he’s only been there twice, it seems.”

”Is something big happening?”

”Possible. Looking at the director’s expression, he seems to be in a hurry.”

”Do you guys know who that woman in the Mysterious Unit is?”

”That woman wears a mask every time she enters or leaves, all bundled up. We don’t even know what she looks like.”

”I heard their Mysterious Unit specifically handles those kinds of things.”

”Do those kinds of things really happen?”

”Why wouldn’t they? Did you forget that case we received a few days ago?”

”Are you talking about the case where the whole family committed suicide by hanging one after another?”

”Yes. The Task Force couldn’t find any leads, so people from the Mysterious Unit went to solve it. It’s said to be a supernatural incident.”

”I was wondering why that case was suddenly closed. There really are ghosts!”

”Shh, lower your voice. The director issued a gag order on this matter.”

”Got it, got it.”

Everyone tacitly stopped discussing, though some looked toward the Mysterious Unit with a hint of expectation in their hearts.

I wonder if I’ll have the chance to go to the Mysterious Unit?

Inside the Mysterious Unit office.

”Su Ling, aren’t you bored staying in this closed room all day?” A female voice sounded in the office.

But there was no one else in the entire office except Su Ling.

”Su Yue, are you looking for another beating?” Su Ling snorted coldly.

”Oh, my dear sister, I just saw you were too bored here alone and wanted you to go out for a walk.”

”That’s right! Xiao Ling, you’re the only one left in the Su Family now. You have to inherit the property your grandfather left behind! Otherwise, it’ll be snatched by others.” Su Ling’s younger uncle’s voice also sounded in the office.

”Younger Uncle, you’re all dead people. Why are you still thinking about the property of the living?” Su Ling mocked.

”Look at what you’re saying. Aren’t we thinking of you? We’re all dead, so what would we want with property?”

”Younger Uncle, the life and death of your whole family are now in my control. Your souls exist by relying on my Houtu Domain. I can easily make your souls scatter. You’d better put away those little schemes.”

”Niece, I am your younger uncle after all, your only relative left in this world. You can’t be so heartless!”

”Hmph! Haven’t you always said I’m a Lone Star of Ill Fortune? I don’t need any relatives.”

”Niece, it was all your uncle’s fault before. It was my mistake. Just be the bigger person and forgive me!”

”Then shut up! Don’t come out and annoy me.”

”Miss, that Hanged Ghost wants to escape again. We can’t trap it anymore.” Auntie Zhang’s anxious voice sounded in the office.

”Seeking death.” A cold light flashed in Su Ling’s eyes.

Her soul entered the Houtu Domain.

In a manor, a group of people were gathered. These were people Su Ling was all too familiar with.

They were the victims of the Su Family Manor. The moment Su Ling awakened the Houtu Domain, their souls were taken in.

At this moment, the Hanged Ghost had broken free from its restraints and was planning to escape. Uncle Zhao was leading a group to block it, but they clearly couldn’t stop the Hanged Ghost.

Su Ling frowned slightly. Her Houtu Domain was currently too small, less than a hundred meters in radius. It was easy for the Hanged Ghost to escape her domain.

This was already the fifth time the Hanged Ghost had escaped.

”Little White.”

An 11-meter-long Big White Snake suddenly appeared and instantly coiled around the Hanged Ghost, making it unable to move an inch.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhao and the others quickly used ropes to tie the Hanged Ghost up again.

Seeing that Uncle Zhao and the others had trapped the Hanged Ghost again, Su Ling nodded slightly.

In fact, Uncle Zhao and the others were also ghosts, ghosts raised by Su Ling’s Houtu Domain. They were the very weak kind of ghosts, far inferior to a ghost like the Hanged Ghost that could affect reality and harm people.

Su Ling didn’t know how to kill the Hanged Ghost; she could only trap it.

But she could feel that the longer the Hanged Ghost stayed in her Houtu Domain, the weaker its strength became. Perhaps before long, its strength would be as weak as Uncle Zhao and the others.

”Miss, the Big White Snake is still the most powerful. It subdued this ghost so easily,” Uncle Zhao said with a smile.

Su Ling walked over and gently stroked the Big White Snake, her eyes full of longing. ”Little White, where exactly are you?”
