Paranormal Creature

Kronos looked at Qing with surprise and asked, "Qing, can you understand what I'm saying now?"

Qing moved her little head and then exclaimed, "I think I can suddenly understand you, Master!"

Kronos gently stroked Qing's head and said, "That's good, now we can have a proper conversation."

After saying this, Kronos immediately ordered his Servants to fetch some strips of meat, as he intended to test the bowl's abilities.

Before long, Servants brought out a plate of raw beef.

Seeing the beef, Qing couldn't resist and kept flapping its Wings, wanting to rush over.

However, Kronos kept pressing down on its head, so it couldn't fly over smoothly.

"Master, let me go! I want to eat meat!"

Kronos turned to it and said, "Qing, wait a moment, I'll feed you myself in a bit."

Kronos kept trying to stop her, and Qing had no choice but to shrink back dejectedly to the side.

He waved for the Servants to wait outside the door, and then Kronos poured the beef into a bowl.

The bowl wasn't very big, so it couldn't hold all the meat; it only held about a third of it.

After preparing the food, Kronos brought the bowl to Qing and said, "Remember, I put the food in this bowl and brought it to you before you can eat it. Be good, okay?"

Qing didn't say anything, but stared intently at the meat in the bowl.

Kronos was at a loss. Eagles are indeed quite intelligent animals, but their wisdom is only that of a child. When faced with food, they are unlikely to listen to anything.

So Kronos said, "Eat."

Upon hearing Kronos's command, Qing immediately picked up a piece of meat and swallowed it, then moved on to the second piece.

Seeing Qing enjoying his meal, Kronos was quite happy too; being able to eat is a blessing.

As he ate piece after piece of meat, Kronos clearly sensed the power of the bowl.

Surprisingly, Qing and he already shared nearly 80% loyalty.

It's important to know that Qing isn't a dog, nor is it a domesticated animal; it's a wild animal, yet it possesses such a high level of loyalty.

This is a good thing, as it means that completely taming it will be a relatively easy task.

Every time Qing ate a piece of meat, Kronos could feel an increase in loyalty.

Once Qing had eaten its fill and started preening its own feathers, its loyalty naturally stopped increasing.

This meal increased Qing's loyalty by about 5%, which means that it would take about four or five meals to complete the task.

Kronos said to Qing, "I'll have them stop feeding you for the next few days, and you shouldn't go out to eat either. If you get hungry, come find me, and I'll feed you myself, okay?"

As long as Kronos gives the order, no one in the Manor will feed it, but Qing really will hunt prey on its own. Not to mention this is in the suburbs, even in the city, it has caught chickens that no one knows who raised.

He grabbed the chicken and flew straight to Kronos's room to eat it; the scene was incredibly bloody, which enraged Kronos, who gave him a severe scolding.

After hearing what Kronos said, Qing replied, "Okay, I understand."

Kronos nodded in satisfaction, then said to Qing, "Go have fun, I still have things to do here."

Qing nodded, then flew out of the window and out of the room.

Seeing that Qing had left, Kronos quickly called to the Servants outside and asked him to take away the remaining beef.

Because of the bowl's negative effect, Kronos's eyes now light up at the sight of raw meat. If it's not taken away soon, he might succumb to the temptation and eat the meat raw.

Thankfully, this was a low- Sequence Beyonder Item, so the bloodlust wasn't too intense.

Kronos sat down and meditated calmly for a while, and the feeling completely subsided.

For the next few days, Kronos fed Qing by hand every day until one day he truly felt that Qing's loyalty had been completely maxed out.

In this situation, Qing could be said to have reached the point where he would be willing to die for Kronos; even if given a death order, he would carry it out without hesitation.

"Qing, I want to train you into a Paranormal Creature so that you can better help me. I wonder if you'd be willing?" After maxing out your loyalty, Kronos asked this question.

Without even looking up, Qing stared at the meat in the bowl, then called out twice, "I'm willing to do anything to help my master."

Seeing that Qing's attention was still focused on the meat, Kronos simply placed the entire bowl in front of it. With its loyalty maxed out, there was no need to feed it by hand anymore, so it naturally ate whatever it wanted.

Only after Qing had finished eating did Kronos continue, "So, what kind of Pathway do you prefer?"

Kronos wasn't sure which Pathway would be better for the Gyrfalcon, so he wanted to ask Qing for his opinion.

After asking the question, Qing stared at Kronos with her clear eyes, as if asking: You're asking me? How would I know?

In truth, Kronos is currently torn between two options.

One option is to follow the Visionary Pathway, just like Susie. Often, suitability is very important. Susie's personality is very compatible with this Pathway, which is why she was promoted so quickly. In Kronos's view, an eagle should also be very suitable for this Pathway; all he needs to do is observe and analyze it quietly.

The second path is the Tyrant Pathway, Pathway has stronger attack power. Combined with Qing's flying ability, it makes her a mage who can provide aerial support, which is very helpful to Kronos.

There's just one problem: Sailor, Folk of Rage, Seafarer —these Sequence don't sound like something an eagle could easily play.

If Qing fails to reach the Wind-blessed One Sequence by the very end, then he will have no means of attacking.

In that case, Qing is basically useless; all the training was for nothing.

Therefore, comparatively speaking, the Visionary Pathway is more suitable for Qing's development in the early stages, while the Tyrant Pathway can provide stronger combat power in the mid-to-late stages, each with its own strengths.

Kronos thought for a moment and decided to let Qing decide for herself. After all, raising a Paranormal Creature wouldn't cost much money, so there was no need to think so much.

He told Qing to wait for him in the room for a while, and then Kronos went to the family Storeroom.

Kronos immediately prepared two Potion: one for the Visionary Pathway, Potion Sequence 9, Spectator, and one for the Tyrant Pathway, Potion Sequence 9, Sailor.

He returned to Qing with two Potion and said, "These are two Potion. I don't know which one will suit you better, so I'm giving you the choice."

"You can choose any one to drink, but only one. Whether it suits you afterwards is up to fate."

After saying that, Kronos opened the lids of the two Potion and placed them in front of Qing.

Qing stuck her head out, first smelling the one on the left, then the one on the right, and fell into thought.

Kronos allowed the animal to choose for itself because he believed that animals also possessed their own Spirituality and could perhaps provide appropriate guidance at that moment.

After pondering for a moment, Qing drank the Potion on the right without hesitation— the Potion meant for the Spectator.

Kronos observed Qing's actions and sensed that there must be some kind of connection between them, otherwise there wouldn't be a thought process involved.

That's a good result, at least I don't have to worry about choosing an unsuitable Pathway for it.

After drinking the Potion, Qing didn't react much. Perhaps it's because animals are physically stronger than humans, so they don't experience the same significant reactions after drinking Potion.

Kronos gently stroked Qing's feathers and said, "The Sequence corresponding to the Potion you drank is called ' The Spectator.' You must learn to emulate this name, to observe the ' Actor ' in secular society like an observer."

"Explore their true thoughts from their expressions, gestures, and verbal tics, and remember that you are merely an observer, watching from the sidelines, not stepping onto the stage to perform."

Seeing Qing's somewhat confused expression, Kronos added, "It's okay if you don't understand now, but remember it, and you'll understand it slowly later."

Qing nodded without speaking, as if she was pondering the meaning of those words.

Kronos patted its head and said, "Go ahead, you can start by observing the people in the Manor, and proceed step by step."

Kronos said this casually, but in the days that followed, the people in the Manor suffered terribly.

Qing wasn't intentionally trying to scare anyone; he simply landed in one spot and quietly observed everyone in front of him.

However, the gaze of a dog is definitely different from that of an eagle. Anyone with a slightly keen sense of smell can feel the gaze on them, let alone the gaze of an eagle.

The feeling of constantly being watched, yet finding nothing after searching, would absolutely terrify an ordinary person.

At first, everyone thought it was an illusion, but after everyone had experienced it, the evaluation rose from illusion to the level of a paranormal event.

Until one day, Mr. Todd was in Sequence 5, also had this feeling. After all, this was not an ordinary person, so after looking around, he immediately locked onto Qing, who was not far away.

Because he knew it was Kronos's pet, he didn't take action. Instead, he went directly to Kronos and told him about the situation.

Kronos was speechless. The eagle's gaze was indeed sharp, and such a situation could certainly occur, but could Spectator who had been discovered still be considered Spectator?

Kronos didn't really know much about this issue. In theory, there's no need for the Spectator and Actor to hide their identities, but he wasn't sure.
