226. Sean

"Woof... Woof!"

After breakfast, Sulu found a dog leash and took Harlock out.

Harlock, who was being led around, didn't seem to be putting up with it at all. On the contrary, he seemed particularly excited, probably because he had been holding back for a while. He kept running back and forth or circling around Sulu.

If he hadn't been holding the dog leash, it might have run away and disappeared.

"Alright, quiet down, Harlock... We have a scheduled activity today."

Sulu tightened the dog leash.

He planned to investigate all the 'mysterious locations' in the city today, first to determine whether it was a supernatural event or a hoax, and then to confirm whether it was a paranormal phenomenon or a biological event.

Although the ' Saintess ' of the ' Shadow Council ' seemed reliable, Sulu trusted himself a little more.

By this time, the morning sun had completely risen above the horizon, its orange-red rays illuminating the earth.

A slight chill was in the air, and quite a few people had already come out of the apartments on Black Rose Street.

Most of them were respectable middle-class people, or students or office workers sharing an apartment. They greeted each other politely, either going to work or starting their morning exercise.

There were also people walking their dogs, who would give Sulu a friendly smile.

"Speaking of which... according to local custom, you're supposed to give your neighbors pies or candy after moving... I forgot... oh well, it's not a big deal anyway."

Sulu thought to himself indifferently.

Harlock, with his tongue lolling out, stared excitedly at the passing dogs.

'But... what does it mean when a Erha stares at a Chihuahua or a dachshund?'

Sulu silently complained to himself until he saw a bully dog.

Its owner is a muscular man with a pompadour hairstyle; the man and the pet look like a perfect match.

"Awooo!!"

Harlock became even more energetic and barked wildly at the other party.

This situation felt strangely familiar to Sulu, who wondered if this Erha had been bullied by a local bully.

Of course, it's also possible that he's displaying strength and fearlessness in front of the female dogs in the neighborhood?

--This is exactly what an extraordinary Erha would do!

"Woof woof!"

That bully dog weighed at least Erha as much as the husky and was clearly not a good-tempered dog. It immediately retaliated with a bark. The dog owner glanced at Harlock and said disdainfully to Sulu, "Keep your dog under control!"

"Feel sorry..."

This was essentially a provocation on their part; Sulu had no intention of causing trouble.

He turned his head and stared at a figure on the opposite street, slightly lost in thought.

'That person... doesn't seem to be a local tenant, yet I've seen him several times... and... seems quite interested in my apartment.'

What caught his attention was a woman in her twenties, dressed in a neutral style and wearing a baseball cap.

The other person seemed to have noticed him spying, quickly pulled down the brim of their hat, and hurried away.

In Sulu's eyes, this action was tantamount to admitting guilt. "So you really came to spy on Apartment 13? Because of me? Or the former tenant?"

He was tempted to chase after them and find out what was going on.

Just then, the shouting contest between the two dogs intensified.

The burly man with the pompadour looked at the 'weak' Sulu, then suddenly grinned maliciously and released the dog leash.

"Uh... don't go too far."

Sulu gave a reminder and also unleashed the dog's leash.

"Don't worry, my Zack won't kill it!" The burly man with the pompadour made a throat-slitting gesture, his thick, golden beard beaming with a smile.

"No... I was talking to my dog!"

Sulu shrugged.

The next moment, screams and howls came from the bully dog.

Harlock strode away with the haughty stride of a victorious general, leaving the bully dog lying on its back, its white skin exposed, surrendering in a unique canine posture. He returned to Sulu's feet, even giving a flirtatious wink to a few 'ladies' watching.

"No... my dog... Zack..."

The burly man with the pompadour's face changed instantly, and he lunged at the American bully. "How could you treat it like this? It's just a puppy..."

Sulu rolled his eyes, feeling that dealing with this kind of person was beneath him.

He glanced over and saw Wood coming over, so he immediately gestured for him to handle it, and then pulled Harlock was almost unable to walk, away.

East Minglang Street.

Sulu looked at the Borok Building, which was dozens of meters away. The entire building was now sealed off, with police tape on all sides and officers patrolling to prevent anyone from entering.

Clearly, after the paranormal events here caused casualties, and the death toll was high, the Bureau 11 took over the area, but instead of solving the problem, they simply chose to seal it off.

This is also the origin of many 'forbidden zones'.

Either the problem cannot be solved, or the cost is disproportionate to the consequences; as long as the impact is not too severe, this is how it will be handled.

"It's definitely an eerie presence... I sensed the scent of a spirit... It... is very powerful..."

Sulu murmured to himself, not daring to approach rashly.

His presence is too strong; he has eliminated too many spirits. If you get too close, it might be seen as starting a war, and then the Fierce Spirit here might automatically go berserk.

At his feet, Harlock sat obediently, no longer the mischievous boy he once was, staring intently at the building across the street with the same serious expression.

"Got it? If you spot a spirit, call out three times; if it's a magical creature, call out twice!"

Sulu made a temporary contract with Harlock.

"Woof woof woof!"

Harlock wagged his tail, indicating that he remembered.

"Very good, let's go check out the next place..."

Sulu smiled and glanced at his pocket watch, "Let's try to finish the city tour today, and go to the suburbs tomorrow..."

Once Harlock understands what he means and is trained to be a professional dog, Sulu feels that finding magical creatures won't be so difficult; he can just take it out for a sniffing.

Tap tap! Tap tap!

Just then, a black carriage sped by and stopped in front of the Borok Building.

The carriage door opened, and several people dressed in matching black trench coats stepped out.

That aura and the patterns on his clothing looked familiar to Sulu; he was an agent from the Federal Bureau 11!

However, this is a 'restricted area' they've sealed off, and its geographical location isn't ideal, so occasional patrols are understandable.

The agents glanced around, and one of the men who had his back to Sulu turned around and looked over.

After all, Sulu had been staring at the building for quite a while, which seemed somewhat suspicious.

Sulu also looked at the agent.

The other person was a tall, thin man with triangular eyes and burgundy hair. Even though he was wearing a suit, the lewdness on his face was so intense that it was impossible to ignore.

' Sean!'

Sulu silently uttered a name.

That Bureau 11 agent was none other than his former roommate, Sean, who had been kidnapped by the Black Death Society, rescued, and successfully became a superhuman!
