Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 478 Golden Dog Head: Apologize!

Dollar opened its eyes to look at Luke, before closing them again.

Luke narrowed his own eyes at the dog. “Fine, it seems you want to do this the hard way.”

Selina had already sat up, a strange expression on her face. “What’s wrong?”

She knew that Luke was a mannerly person. In all the time they had lived together, he never entered her room without permission. Even when he woke her up in the morning, it was from the doorway. He had never opened her door in the middle of the night before.

“Put your clothes on and come to the living room,” Luke said simply. “Bring Dollar with you.”

Selina immediately got up.

She could tell from Luke’s face that this was a serious matter, otherwise he wouldn’t look so calm.

Sometimes, the calmer this guy seemed, the more stormy his feelings.

Less than a minute later, Selina came out in an oversized T-shirt with Dollar.

Luke waved at her and had her sit down next to him. He then handed her the fake phone.

At first glance, Selina was horrified, and she abruptly turned her head. “You, you’ve actually been secretly taking pictures of me?”

Luke dropped his forehead into his hand. “Look at the angle. You should know where the camera is, right?”

Stumped for a moment, Selina examined the angle and instantly understood.

This was taken from the doorway. She knew very well what the items there were, and the camera absolutely wasn’t one of them.

Thus, it had just been installed.

The video was now playing the key moment – something that looked semi-fluid in nature stretched out of Dollar’s back to cover Selina’s hand.

Suddenly, the thing retreated, and Luke’s voice rang out. “Come out, you still wanna hide?”

Selina gaped as she looked at the screen. “What the hell is that?”

Luke grunted. “You’ll have to ask him.”

Looking at Dollar, who was lying next to her, Selina subconsciously pulled her feet back. “Dollar, go sit over there.”

Dollar immediately obeyed and sat several meters away in the center of the living room in front of them.

Seeing how docile Dollar was, Luke heaved a sigh. This dog might not be this obedient for

long.

Selina turned around and looked at Luke. “How do we get it out?”

Luke shrugged. “Do you think it’ll be scared if I say that I’ll send it off to a secret lab to be dissected for research if it doesn’t come out?”

Selina’s eyes bulged. “Then what about Dollar?”

Luke spread his hands. ‘How about you give it a go?”

Biting her lip, Selina turned back around and said, “Whatever you are, come out right now.”

She had barely said the words when something suddenly rose out of Dollar’s back.

It was like a semi-thick liquid which wriggled up into the air above Dollar’s head and finally turned into... a dog’s head?

Luke was unable to take his eyes off it.

Selina was even more stupefied.

A moment later, Luke nudged Selina with his elbow.

Selina finally woke up, and subconsciously mumbled, “It actually looks pretty cute.”

This ball of liquid glowed with a golden light. A dozen plump and smooth tentacle-like things had stretched out of Dollar’s back to form a bright, dazzling dog head above Dollar’s head.

But this dog head was much rounder and fatter than a regular dog’s.

It had a particularly large forehead and long droopy cheeks which gave it a comical look. Its eyes were a glossy white and didn’t have any pupils or eyeballs; they were just two triangles with rounded corners.

Furthermore, it didn’t have a mouth; where its mouth should have been was just a decorative line.

Overall, this golden dog head looked... like a cartoon.

At Selina’s praise, this round, golden liquid dog head looked unexpectedly happy and wriggled in excitement, just like Dollar when the dog was praised.

Luke and Selina looked at each other in bewilderment. What was this? A golden liquid dog? Or just a silly dog head with a big forehead?

Luke, whose nerves were less fragile, coughed and asked, “Who are you? Or rather, what are

you?”

A voice that was very similar to Selina’s but deeper and huskier rang out. “No comment.” The dog head turned away haughtily and wouldn’t even look at Luke. Looking at this arrogant dog head for a moment, Luke suddenly patted Selina and said, “You ask.”

Selina: “Huh? Ask what?”

Luke said, “The question I just asked.”

Selina immediately repeated the question.

Conflicted, the dog head turned back around and looked aggrievedly at Dollar below it. “I am Devourer...”

It paused for a moment, then shook its head very unwillingly. “Fine. Devourer isn’t my name. I am Voracious, a creature from a distant planet.”

Selina’s eyes widened. “An alien?”

Voracious shook its dog head. “By your understanding, I can only be considered an extraterrestrial life form at most. After all, I don’t look like a person.”

Looking at the golden dog head, Luke and Selina subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Selina turned her head, and Luke said, “Ask why it’s hiding inside Dollar, and why you and Dollar are eating so much.”

Selina immediately repeated the questions.

Luke stared at Voracious, who seemed very reluctant but had immediately started to reply, “I escaped from a spaceship into a fish. I then ran into Dollar. We’re very compatible, which is why I chose it.” After a pause, Voracious continued, “It’s eating a lot because I’m helping it to digest its food and strengthen its body.”

Luke furrowed his brow.

He didn’t believe that such a good thing didn’t have a catch. “Do the creatures that you parasitize sustain any harm?”

Selina didn’t need to repeat the question before Voracious spoke again. “Hey! I’m not a parasite! Apologize!” Luke shrugged. “But what you’re doing is a lot like the parasites on our planet.”Voracious: “Apologize!”

Luke said, “Why don’t you just think of it as a nickname?”

“Apologize!” The big dog head glared at him fiercely.

Luke: “...Fine. I apologize. What are you, if you’re not a parasite?”

Voracity said, “By your understanding, I’m a symbiote.” Luke asked, “Is there a difference?”

Voracious said, “I can make my symbiotic host stronger, and max out their stamina and vitality. Can a parasite do that?”

Luke nodded, deep in thought. “Then why are Dollar and Selina both so hungry? Don’t tell me you can have multiple symbiotic hosts at the same time?”

Voracious nodded proudly. “I’m not like the rest of my kind. They’re very picky about their energy requirements, and if they have nothing else to eat, they’ll swallow their symbiotic hosts. I’m the only one who has a good appetite; I can absorb all kinds of nutrition from my symbiotic hosts to ensure my survival and boost their strength at the same time.”
