My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Chapter 74: Chapter 73 Urgent Summoning

Looking at the rooster twitching on the ground, unable to get up, even the experienced referee was at a loss and cast a plea for help towards the two teachers off the field.

The students watching, as if their restart button had been hit, instantly filled the training ground with buzzing whispers.

“Healing class, huh? Class Four has actually hidden a big daddy. What was that fragrant skill just now? It made me feel so comfortable after smelling it,” a girl with a ponytail chattered excitedly to her companion.

“Right, right? I was having a bit of menstrual pain today, but after smelling the fragrance, my tummy felt all warm,” her round-faced friend said with flushed cheeks, her voice tinged with excitement.

“White plum deer, just because they have money back home. If it were me, I definitely would’ve done better. What’s there to…” a boy beside them started to say with a sour tone.

He immediately drew disdainful looks from the girls.

“Damn, just yesterday I jerked off to my waifu seven times until I was dizzy and headachy, and now I feel like I could do it seven more times,” a greasy otaku suddenly shouted with joy, attracting everyone’s attention, followed by laughter from the onlooking students.

Even a few boys started whistling.

In the midst of the heated discussions, no one noticed that two Abnormal Administration Bureau cars had quietly stopped under the office building, and Chen Zhenglong led several bureau personnel in, one after another.

Bald Qiang glared fiercely at Wu Songlin, who was shorter than him: “My student won this match.”

“But my student didn’t lose either, tch, look, all his injuries have been healed,” Wu Songlin twiddled his beard on his chin, his old face bearing a sleazy smile, and Bald Qiang just wanted to punch his lights out.

The referee hesitated to make a decision, the two teachers were uncompromising, and across from them was the person he admired…

“Teacher, I concede,”

Li Yiming raised his hand, called out to Wu Songlin and the others, then nodded to the referee.

The referee glanced again at the two teachers who were at odds, blew his whistle, “I declare, this match, Class Four Shao Zifeng…”

A strange yet familiar electric sound interrupted the referee’s words, and the bodies of the teachers and school doctors on-site instantly tensed up.

“Zzz~ All instructors of the Combat Training Department, immediately assemble in the office building conference room, I repeat…” Suddenly, the hidden loudspeakers in every corner of the new campus sounded.

“An emergency summon?” Bald Qiang and Wu Songlin exchanged a look, their expressions suddenly fell, and without saying much to the students, they turned and dashed toward the teaching building.

An emergency summon is a method used by the school only when encountering sudden situations, without enough time to pass the message down through the hierarchy. It wasn’t unique to Su City University — the Ministry of Education of the Great Xia mandated that all higher education institutions install hidden loudspeakers throughout the campus, which were not to be used lightly except for emergencies.

As for the origin of this regulation, it dates back to the early days of the “Unknown Recovery Incident” over a decade ago.

Back then, communication methods weren’t so advanced, and many base stations were extensively damaged, so in times of emergency, there was no choice but to use this rather primitive means.

Time after time, these summons broadcasts solved the problem of delayed communication.

Later on, this method of communication became a tradition and has persisted to this day, even in an era where communication is extremely developed, as it can instantly get a message to every person within the school.

“Big Brother Shao, that… that was an emergency summon, right? Why did the school suddenly use an emergency summon? Is something big about to happen?” Li Yiming appeared beside Shao Zifeng at some point, his face showing a bit of nervousness.

The surrounding students were also whispering to each other, and anxiety spread across the training ground.

“Hmm, it should be nothing,” Shao Zifeng said, holding the little deer and gently stroking its body.

Seeing the Abnormal Administration Bureau cars parked under the office building, his expression wasn’t very good, feeling as though more trouble was about to come.

The little deer lay in Shao Zifeng’s arms, sensing his unease and licked his hand with its soft tongue.

“Yah~”

Shao Zifeng looked down and smiled at the little deer, “It’s nothing.”

No sooner had he spoken than the zzz of electric current resonated again, and everyone on the training ground fell into silence, quietly waiting.

“Attention to all Combat Training Department students, except for the freshmen, everyone is to proceed to the Logistics Department to collect medicine and positioning devices; assemble in your respective classes in one hour, I repeat…”

As the broadcast ended, everyone was stunned.

The expressions on the faces of the students on the scene were difficult to read, and a few of the more timid turned pale in an instant.

The distribution of supplies at the school was a clear indication that they would definitely be involved in a bloody battle soon.

It is said that five years ago, Su City University had also distributed medicine to all combat training students during a minor rat plague.

Due to widespread infestations, the Abnormal Administration Bureau was too overwhelmed to respond and had to seek the school’s assistance, resulting in at least three students never returning to the classroom.

That time, even an emergency summoning wasn’t utilized.

Today, the emergency summoning was directed at all combat training students, which also meant that after today, some might lose their lives.

“Ding~”

Shao Zifeng’s phone vibrated, and he took it out.

“Emergency task, search for suspicious targets within the entire city range, [picture] offering a reward of 50,000 to 500,000 yuan depending on the reliability of the information, no limit on the number of people.”

As Shao Zifeng looked at the contents of the message, his fingers clenched tight. Why would the platform suddenly issue an emergency task—was it just a coincidence?

And the silhouette of this man with silver hair, it seemed familiar.

Various jumbled thoughts crowded in, and Shao Zifeng felt that troublesome matters just got even more troubling.

…

At the same time, in a room so lavishly decorated it seemed somewhat tasteless, a portly middle-aged man in a silk robe stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window with the curtains drawn.

He swirled the red wine in his glass, looking up at the garish curtains as if admiring a priceless painting.

Knock knock.

The gentle knock on the door seemed careful not to disturb the man admiring the curtains.

The portly man took a sip of his wine, moistened his throat, and then spoke in a hoarse voice, “Come in.”

“Vice-chairman.” The person who entered was dressed like a butler in a neatly pressed Western tailcoat with white gloves, his hair silver and combed neatly, the gold embroidery on his tailcoat setting him off against the room’s decor. @@novelbin@@

Equally tasteless.

He approached the portly man and bowed slightly, “Vice-chairman, there is news from Su City.”

“Speak.”

“An informant from the underground platform has just received a message; the platform issued an emergency task to find Burial Fox,” the butler reported respectfully.

“Hmm, has Burial Fox contacted the division recently?” the portly man asked without turning around, continuing to gaze up at the curtains.

The butler hesitated momentarily, “We haven’t received any messages from Burial Fox lately and have utilized several low-level Concealment operatives to search, but Burial Fox seems to have vanished from the face of the Earth.”

The middle-aged man didn’t speak further and walked a few more steps forward, examining the curtains up close.

The butler stood with his hands at his sides, showing no sign of impatience.

After a moment, the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze from the curtains and sat back in the executive chair, still with his back to the butler.

“Since they are making such a public spectacle of looking for him through the grey forces, the move is either a fishing expedition or a smoke grenade. Since that’s the case, let’s send them a big gift,” the man finished his wine in one gulp, his hoarse voice trembling with a kind of fervor.

The butler was startled and asked carefully, “Vice-chairman, are you planning to…?”

“Shh~” The portly man made a silencing gesture, “Is everything you provided for all the Concealment operatives in Su City in place?”

“Yes,” the butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hesitating, “But…?”

“No buts, now we just wait for a grand performance, hahaha.”

The portly man let out an unpleasant loud laugh, pressed a button on the armrest of the executive chair, and with a slight noise, the opulent curtains slowly opened.

Behind the floor-to-ceiling window was pitch darkness, followed by the lighting up of one blood-red eye after another.
