Chapter 178 - The True Power Of The Wishing Sculpture
With that in mind, Little Hus moved to the drawer and opened it up with its edges.
Su Yang had hidden the [Reverse Wishing Sculpture] well, so Little Hus did not see anything when he opened the drawer.
Nevertheless, Little Hus trusted his instinct and nose, so he pulled the entire drawer out and finally found the cloth-wrapped sculpture.
Little Hus smiled brightly when he saw the sculpture. He muttered, “Smells really good! This must be something great!”
With that in mind, he unwrapped it and saw the bat sculpture showing him its back.
“Hmm? Why is it showing me its back?” Little Hus turned it around. “Huh? It’s still the back?”
He persistently turned it multiple times, but all he saw was the bat’s back.
Little Hus Simple Intellect was similar to a child’s, and like a child, he decided to challenge the bat sculpture by turning it around ceaselessly. He was determined to see the bat sculpture’s front no matter how many turns it would take him.
“Again, I’m not God! I can’t travel through time and space!”
“Then, can you make me smaller?” Little Hus asked.
The bat glared at Little Hus. “No! I can’t change the physical shape of things!”
The bat refused to grant Little Hus his wish, and after realizing the bat was practically useless, Little Hus lost it. He grabbed the bat by the neck and shouted, “Then, what the hell can you do?! Don’t tell me you can’t do anything!”
…
The next morning, after Su Yang woke up and headed downstairs to have breakfast, he saw the [Reverse Wishing Sculpture] on the table in the living room like a newly bought decoration.
The other little monsters were around it, chatting about something.
The bat sculpture had come alive and was bowing, nodding, and flattering everyone else.
Su Yang had question marks all over his head. ‘What the hell happened?’
He went up to the gang, and before he could say a word, Little Hus hopped over and boasted, “Su Yang! Su Yang! I’ve done you a great deal!”
Su Yang looked at Little Hus pointedly. “What did you do?”
Little Hus’ edge pointed at the bat on the table. “I’ve exposed a liar for you!”
“A liar?” The questions marks in his head multiplied instantly.
“Yes!” Little Hus then explained how the bat had scammed him last night. After realizing that the bat could not do anything, he started to interrogate the bat.
The bat was powerful against a normal being with blood, but against Little Hus, its blood-sucking abilities were useless. Under Little Hus’ fierce interrogation, the bat finally revealed its scam. The bat sculpture actually only had one ability, which was blood-sucking.
Whenever someone tried to make a wish, it would ask questions without a correct answer, and when the person failed to answer, it would suck the person’s blood to the very last drop.
However, if someone managed to get it right like Little Hus, it would grant the person’s wish, but since it was a useless piece of blood-sucking garbage, it did not actually have the ability to grant wishes.
All wishes would be beyond its capabilities, and it could then righteously suck the person’s blood again.
Thankfully, it ran into Little Hus, a husky bolster with no blood, which was its weakness.
The bat failed to fight back and could not hide from Little Hus. Little Hus was as simple as a child, so he persistently answered questions and made wishes. When he got fed up with the bat’s lies, he forced the bat to tell the truth.
Su Yang pondered the situation.
‘This bat is really a liar…but it only lies under the rules of the system. It can only suck blood? Hmm…maybe this blood-sucking ability is useful to me.’
With that in mind, Su Yang looked at the nervous bat. “Can you suck blood even if no one makes a wish?”
