Su Xiao walked out of the Auction House. It was daytime, and Ghouls generally appeared at night.
"Hello, Mr. Byakuya~."
A somewhat lazy voice came from nearby. Su Xiao looked over and saw that it was that little white-haired guy, Suzuya Juuzou.
"Here are your credentials."
Suzuya Juuzou handed the credentials to Su Xiao and stared at him with a silly grin.
The moment he received the credentials, Reincarnation Paradise issued a notification.
You have been promoted to First-Class Investigator. Contribution Points: 525/2000.

It was as if someone was watching him. It was the same feeling he had experienced earlier in the restroom when that little hamster had been staring at him.
His eyes suddenly sharpened as he scanned his surroundings without revealing anything.

The familiar sight made Su Xiao's pupils contract sharply.
Something was wrong with this hamster. Very wrong.
When Su Xiao's gaze focused on the hamster, it immediately stopped gnawing and extended a small piece of apple toward him.
Su Xiao instinctively tried to look away,
