Reasonably speaking, she shouldn't have remembered a small item from over half a year ago so clearly. However, her memory nowadays was exceptionally good, and the lost hair accessory had become linked with the potentially suspicious Clothes-Changing Totem.
Even if her mind hadn't been consciously thinking about this item, seeing it still felt terrifyingly familiar.
"Xun xun!"
Through their shared senses, Little Treasure saw the hair accessory and instantly let out an excited cry.
The hair accessory he lost looked exactly like that!
As expected... Qiao Sang's gaze fell upon the little girl's face, and she fell into deep thought.
Since the Clothes-Changing Totem could use an item's aura to transform into the appearance of the item's original owner, then transforming into a human was naturally possible as well.
The form of the shiny Ghost Ring King was easily recognized, and the Clothes-Changing Totem itself was a King-level pet whose true image was also very prone to attracting attention. Yet, despite being wanted for over half a year, it hadn't been caught. Could it be because it occasionally transformed into a human or another pet's appearance?
If that were the case, relying solely on the photos of the shiny Ghost Ring King and the Clothes-Changing Totem on the wanted poster, even with a Guinauke available, might not guarantee finding it...
"Xun xun!"
Just as she was thinking, Little Treasure stared at the little girl and let out a loud cry, indicating whether that fellow had transformed into the appearance of this human!
Qiao Sang's heart stirred, and she said: "It's possible."
"Xun xun!" Little Treasure was unbearably excited and couldn't wait to circulate the energy within his body.
In the next second, he brought his Tamer along and appeared right in front of the little girl.
Qiao Sang: ...
There's really no need to be in such a rush, you even forgot to move Yabao and the others here along with us...
"Xun xun!"
"Xun xun!"
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure didn't notice this detail and directly began shouting abuses at the little girl.
The pets in the surroundings, who hadn't been paying attention here at first, all gathered their gazes over.
The little girl stared blankly at Little Treasure.
This doesn't seem like the reaction an impostor should have upon seeing Little Treasure... Qiao Sang scanned the little girl in front of her, attempting to spot any flaws.
Suddenly, a furious voice rang out from behind: "What are you doing to my daughter!"
The little girl looked forward, revealing a happy expression. She opened her arms wide and ran over: "Daddy!"
Little Treasure's shouting ceased, and his body abruptly stiffened.
"Don't panic. Some transformed pets are also capable of speaking human language." Qiao Sang said, lowering her voice.
To this day, she still remembered the Mimic Doll that had transformed into her appearance and shouted present back on Chaosu Star.
"Xun xun..." Hearing his Tamer's words, Little Treasure relaxed.
At this moment, the man's voice rang out: "Sweetheart, are you alright?"
Immediately following was the girl's voice: "I'm fine, Daddy look quickly! That pet looks just like the one wanted on TV!"
A pet that transforms definitely wouldn't speak this much human language... Qiao Sang made a prompt decision: "Let's go!"
Little Treasure's eyes glowed with a blue light.
And then, the two of them returned to the bedroom once more.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure wiped away the nonexistent sweat on his forehead.
"Yap yap?"
Yabao looked over and let out a cry, asking how it went, did they find it?
Lubao, Qingbao, and the Guinauke simultaneously looked over, waiting for the answer.
Only Gangbao's eyes were full of amusement.
Qiao Sang said honestly: "No."
Yabao and the others instantly exposed disappointed expressions.
Without a second word, the Guinauke turned its head and extended its claws, preparing to continue helping with the search.
"However, I have a new train of thought." Qiao Sang followed up.
The Guinauke stopped its actions and looked over.
"It's like this. I actually suspect that a wild Clothes-Changing Totem stole Little Treasure's hair accessory and transformed into his appearance..." After Qiao Sang explained her speculation to the Guinauke at length, she said:
"So I hope you can find a pet, or a human, that is carrying this hair accessory."
After saying this, she pulled out her phone, intending to search for a photo of the hair accessory to show the Guinauke.
But right at the moment she pulled out her phone, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something. Her expression instantly became rigid, and she looked at Little Treasure, asking word by word: "Where did you get that hair accessory of yours in the first place?"
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure thought for a bit and let out a cry, indicating that it was taken out from the round ring.
"No." Qiao Sang said.
"I mean, before the round ring? Where did we buy this hair accessory?"
She didn't remember ever buying a hair accessory in Eagle Country.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure thought hard for a bit and let out a cry.
The hair accessory was inherently inside the round ring, it seems like it was bought together with other things when they were looting items back on Chaosu Star.
That was it. She hadn't bought any hair accessories in Eagle Country, but on Chaosu Star, right before the time limit of the unlimited-limit card was about to end, she had purchased a massive amount of items without even looking.
Not only items, materials, and tools related to pets, but also some luxury goods, anyway, she bought everything valuable that could be bought with the unlimited-limit card.
This hair accessory was one of those things.
For an item from another planet to appear on the Blue Star wasn't actually impossible. After all, with today's technology, interstellar logistics already existed, it was just that the cost was too high, and what was transported was usually related to pet resources.
For a mere luxury item hair accessory, would someone specially buy one from another planet?
Qiao Sang realized she had made a mistake.
Why on earth was she so certain that a transformed pet couldn't speak too much human language?
Just because the Illusionary Water Baby and the Mimic Doll couldn't didn't mean the Clothes-Changing Totem couldn't either.
Calm down. That Clothes-Changing Totem is a wild pet that emerged from a secret realm crack, how could it have learned so much human language in just over half a year...
Actually, it might not be impossible. As long as a pet is smart enough, like Little Treasure, they can get the hang of electronic devices like phones and computers very quickly...
Calm down, calm down, maybe it's just a coincidence. There are so many counterfeits of luxury goods nowadays, genuine goods are hard to ship, but getting an identical counterfeit is much easier...
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, settled her emotions, looked at the Guinauke, and said: "Help me check that location from just now. See if a little girl wearing a purple grape hair accessory is still there. If she isn't, help me check where she is now."
Better to mistake it than to miss it.
"Gui gui."
The Guinauke nodded, turning around to extend its claws into the computer once more.
It had also seen the scene of this human and the Ghost Ring King teleporting over to that end just now. Even without the hair accessory, it knew what the human little girl she spoke of looked like.
"Xun xun?" Little Treasure exposed a puzzled expression.
Why look for her again?
"That hair accessory of yours is from Chaosu Star, but this is the Blue Star." Qiao Sang said.
"I have some suspicions that the Clothes-Changing Totem has learned quite a bit of human language."
Pausing, she added: "After all, its IQ is very high."
Back when the news broadcasted the situation of the Clothes-Changing Totem, one of the points mentioned was its extremely high IQ. With just one glance during combat, it knew the function of the miniature shrinking bracelet and how to operate it.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure came to a sudden realization, subsequently exposing a furious expression that said to think I actually fell for this fellow's trick
Qiao Sang looked at him and said calmly: "This is still just my speculation."
After finishing, she added: "If this girl really is the Clothes-Changing Totem, when you space-teleport later, don't forget to bring Yabao and the others along with you."
"Xun xun...
Little Treasure's momentum instantly deflated, and he exposed an expression that said I understand.
"Gui gui."
At this moment, the Guinauke turned its head and let out a cry.
"Gang jian."
Gangbao translated at the first instance.
Qiao Sang frowned and said:
"You're saying that the little girl was found, but she doesn't have that hair accessory on her head?"
"Gui gui." The Guinauke nodded.
Qiao Sang asked: "Then is there a man following beside her?"
"Gui gui." The Guinauke shook her head.
Qiao Sang thought about it and decided to take a look anyway: "Where is the address?"
"Gui gui." The Guinauke reported the address.
Without a second word, Little Treasure's eyes glowed with a blue light.
After about five seconds or so, Qiao Sang's vision went black. When light was restored again, she found herself situated at the entrance of a chocolate shop.
A little blonde, blue-eyed girl stood in front of the display window, looking at the chocolates inside with a face entirely written with I want it so much, I want to eat it so much.
Sure enough, there is no purple grape hair accessory... Qiao Sang's gaze fell upon the girl's blonde hair.
"Xun xun..."
Remembering his Tamer's words, Little Treasure restrained his urge to rush forward.
It hasn't been confirmed yet, it wouldn't be good to yell at the wrong person. Although, even if I yell at the wrong person, this human probably wouldn't understand it anyway...
"Yap yap?"
Yabao scanned the surroundings, and finally, his gaze fell upon the little girl. He let out a cry, asking if the human they were looking for was her?
Qiao Sang was just about to answer when, at this moment, a rather excited shout rang out: "Look quickly, isn't that the wanted Ghost Ring King!"
Little Treasure: ...
The people in the surroundings looked over one after another.
The little girl did the same.
She looked at Little Treasure, freezing for a moment first, and immediately afterward exposing an anxious and worried expression.
She had a look that suggested she not only recognized him but also had a lot of words she wanted to say.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang's heart stirred, and she said: "Take her with us."
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure let out a cry. However, before he could put it into action, the little girl ran up with quick steps.
Right when she had run forward just two steps, a pair of thick big hands grabbed her.
"Sweetheart, I've been looking for you for ages." Said a man with the same blonde hair and blue eyes as the girl.
Being pulled like this, the little girl raised her head to see the newcomer and instantly quieted down.
The man recognized who the person in front of him was, and his tone carried dissatisfaction as he said: "It's you guys again. What on earth do you want to do to my daughter?"
Saying this, his gaze fell upon Little Treasure: "Are you that wanted Ghost Ring King?"
The moment these words came out, the people watching the spectacle in the surroundings chimed in one after another: "It's him!"
"No mistake! It's absolutely him! There is only one Ghost Ring King whose color is like this!"
"Brother, don't let him run! This is 1,000,000 Alliance coins!"
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure's cheeks puffed up larger and larger, clearly wearing an expression that said he was about to explode with rage.
Qiao Sang looked at the purple grape hair accessory on the man's head, the corners of her mouth twitching violently. Aside from silence, it was just silence.
More and more people gathered over.
The man pulled the little girl and silently retreated into the crowd.
"Spatial Lock." Qiao Sang voiced out.
"Lock only the male."
The moment her words fell, a red flash of fire passed by in a blur.
As it passed beside the man, the little girl vanished without a trace.
The man looked at the position where the little girl was originally located beside him, his expression changing.
At the same time, Little Treasure's eyes glowed with a blue light.
A translucent barrier instantly enveloped the man's surroundings.
The people around realized something was wrong and made way one after another, understandingly dodging far away, vacating a large piece of space.
The flash of fire reflected back, coming to a halt beside Qiao Sang.
Yabao put down the little girl, whose face was full of un-triggered shock.
"What do you want to do?" The man took a glance at the little girl, his face looking unsightly as he spoke.
Qiao Sang said slowly: "Clothes-Changing Totem, just how long do you intend to keep pretending?"
"Xun xun?!"
Little Treasure widened his eyes as he looked at the human not far away.
What? The Clothes-Changing Totem?!
He immediately thought of something, and his gaze fell upon the purple grape hair accessory on the man's head. His eyes widened, exposing a furious expression that said so it was you.
The Clothes-Changing Totem? The people in the surroundings had faces full of bewilderment, whispering among themselves as they looked at the man.
Looking at the increasing number of people around him, the man's expression instead gradually calmed down.
He stared at Qiao Sang for a bit, took another couple of glances at Little Treasure, and finally, after taking a look at the little girl, his eyes glowed with a blue light.
An invisible force instantly shattered the transparent barrier around his body into pieces.
The man said in a calm tone: "Do you think you can trap me?"
After finishing his words, he still stayed in place.
The man froze for a moment, and then, as if sensing something, he lowered his head to take a look.
He saw that his shadow had been connected to another shadow without him knowing when.
Following the extended direction of the shadow, he spotted Little Treasure.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure stared at it and gave a snort, his nostrils flaring as he exposed an expression that said and you still want to run away.
Suddenly, a wild wind whipped up.
The leaves of the trees by the street rustled and shook loose, fallen leaves and dust flew everywhere.
Amidst the wild wind, the clothing on the man's body, including the purple grape hair accessory on his head, all vanished entirely, leaving only a miniature shrinking bracelet still worn on his hand.
At the instant the purple grape hair accessory vanished, his body size abruptly twisted and changed.
Very quickly, a pet around seven meters in size, silver-white across its entire body, and having only one eye appeared in everyone's line of sight.
The wild wind ceased.
Qingbao revealed herself beside Qiao Sang, holding the purple grape hair accessory, having successfully retired after completing her merit.
To think it really is the Clothes-Changing Totem... Looking at the pet not far away, everyone felt a great shock in their hearts.
This is a good opportunity to clear Little Treasure's name... Qiao Sang raised her head, looked at the Clothes-Changing Totem, and channeled her voice right to the tip of her tongue:
"You stole my Ghost Ring King's hair accessory, and during this half-year period, you transformed into his appearance to commit evil everywhere, precisely taking advantage of the fact that he wasn't in Eagle Country! Now that I've brought him back, how can I allow you to ruin his reputation!"
"Xun xun!"
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure held his head high and puffed his chest out.
Exactly, exactly!
What? That wanted Ghost Ring King was transformed from this Clothes-Changing Totem? Expressions of shock and astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.
The Clothes-Changing Totem's expression remained unchanged, it just looked towards Little Treasure not far away with its eye glowing with a blue light.
In the next second, Little Treasure vanished from his spot and was hoisted up in its hand.
Little Treasure: !!!
Just when he realized what had happened to him, a sudden bout of sharp pain was generated in his brain.
Without even letting out a tragic cry, Little Treasure's eyes became vacant.
At the same time, the shadow connecting the Clothes-Changing Totem broke off and retracted.
Damn it, to think I can't retract Little Treasure... Qiao Sang's face looked unsightly. Putting down her hand that she had just waved, she spoke up: "Domain."
A visible chill emanated from Lubao's body.
However, before the chill could spread, the Clothes-Changing Totem vanished from its spot.
Little Treasure fell from midair, and a streak of fire rushed over at top speed, catching him.
