Chapter 625: Mysterious Puppy
Several minutes ago.
Angor’s group was traveling through the dark maze with the puppy taking the lead.
Greya and Gragg, a.k.a Spivet, were still wondering what exactly this strange creature was. Telling from how the animal was walking on fast and confident steps, it sure knew how to get out of the darkness. Yet Greya and Spivet’s inspection spells only suggested that it was an ordinary pet dog no matter how many times they tried.
They were very thirsty for an answer, but since they also knew that Sunders was unlikely to tell them anything, they just kept moving without speaking.
Spivet could never spend too much time without using his tongue, so he asked why Sunders wanted him to become Flora’s student.
“I mean, why don’t YOU be my professor instead? Or Sumesh! Speaking of Sumesh, he made it to a truth-finder, didn’t he? And you know only truth-finders can teach me new stuff!”
“You’re not qualified to be my student. As for Sumesh, I’ll no longer make decisions for him. This leaves Flora as the only choice.”
“Not qualified? How come? I’m a famous wiza… rd…”
By coming to Sleepless City, Sunders mostly wanted to get his hands on Fox’s harp. He even used his Cursing Puppet to improve his chances. However, the monster was so agile that she never gave him a chance to catch her.
And Sunders felt rather annoyed about this.
The entire darkness was slowly turning into an interlayer space, and its controller—Yorkshire—would have absolute dominance over it. Going after the harp inside the interlayer space was almost impossible.
However, they just found another potential Mystery presence worth researching. The puppy probably would stick to Angor instead, but Sunders did not care.
Sunders moved to catch the animal himself, but then he noticed that when someone other than Angor was going after it, the dog could run as fast as Toby when the bird used his top speed to fly.
And Sunders didn’t wish to chase the dog all the way back into the dark mist since he might get lost again.
As he wondered what to do next, he saw the puppy showing up from another direction away from him and was looking at Angor again.
“Is it toying with us?” Sunders didn’t look pleased.
Angor tried approaching the animal while calling its nickname “Spotty”, and he successfully picked it up.
He then moved to Sunders while stroking the creature’s back.
He felt the puppy struggling in his hands.
“Stay there. I’ll pull it into Gravity Garden,” Sunders spoke through their Spirit Bond.
Angor nodded and stopped moving. At the same time, Spotty also calmed down.
He waited patiently so that Sunders could “retrieve” the puppy, but it never happened. The puppy remained in his hands and was giving Sunders hostile stares.
“I can’t.” Sunders shook his head. “The Gravity Garden cannot recognize its existence.”
This had suggested that they no longer had anything to bring the dog with them.
No matter what they did, as long as the puppy did not want to leave, it would simply run into the dark mist using its amazing speed.
Sunders decided to give up. The puppy was related to Mystery, and Mystery was always a “slippery” concept that could not be conquered by brute force.
“Let’s leave.” Sunders beckoned to Angor and walked away.
The puppy suddenly rushed to them and dragged Angor’s pants.
