Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

"Name?"

"Gu Ming."

...

"When did you and Lin Yan meet?"

"What was the nature of your conflict?"

"How did you discover his Pet Beast and the goals of the organization behind him?"

"Initially, our relationship was purely professional. We came into contact while I was working at the community shop."

"My Ah Kun is a Fear Element Pet Beast, which is a special Spiritual Attribute. Its Perception is sharp, so it sensed that his Ancient Divine Deer... was very wrong."

...

Inside an interrogation room at the Beastmaster Administration Bureau, Gu Ming spent a long and grueling day.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn.

The Array Plate Pet Beast responsible for recording floated in midair, Runes flowing around its body, ensuring every word of the dialogue was precisely transcribed.

Nearby, a Heart Reflection Beast shaped like a glass jellyfish floated silently.

The tips of its tentacles emitted a soft glow, monitoring the slightest Spiritual Fluctuation in Gu Ming as he spoke.

The three interrogators across from Gu Ming were from the Administration Bureau, the military, and a special agency of the Royal Family, respectively.

Their questions were interlocking, sometimes macroscopic, like organizational structures, and other times microscopic, delving into the details of a specific gesture or a single glance.

"You mentioned ’sensing something was wrong.’ What specifically was wrong?

"Its energy Attribute? Its spiritual resonance frequency? Or an abnormal fluctuation in its totem markings?"

"When you decided to confront him publicly, was that a spur-of-the-moment decision, or did you have a plan? Did anyone give you a hint or assist you?"

"In the Domain battlefield of the discourse, where did you learn the Demon Suppression Spell, that Decurse Technique? That Curse Technique isn’t recorded in the Hall of the Great Dao."

The pressure was immense, but Gu Ming remained calm and composed throughout.

For one, everything he said was the truth.

For another, he knew his role right now wasn’t that of a suspect, but of a concerned citizen who had exposed a shocking conspiracy.

’I’ll just say what needs to be said. As for explaining the new Skill, that will be even easier to make up.’

’After all, I have a penchant for academic research, so I have plenty of undeveloped Techniques on hand.’

He tossed out a series of excuses like combat improvisation, on-the-spot application, and a flash of inspiration. The officials present didn’t doubt Gu Ming’s talent; they simply continued to record everything.

By the time Gu Ming finally completed the entire process and pressed his thumbprint on the non-disclosure agreement, night had fallen outside the window.

The chief interrogator from the main bureau, who had led the questioning, stood up. A faint hint of relief softened his stern expression.

"Student Gu Ming, thank you for your cooperation and contribution.

"Your courage and perceptiveness have prevented a spiritual disaster that could have spread across the entire nation.

"The Administration Bureau and other relevant departments will follow up on this with all their resources.

"You may leave now, but please keep your communication lines open."

Gu Ming nodded and walked out of the interrogation room, which was filled with the glow of Array Runes.

At the end of the corridor, Elder Huo’s figure stood quietly by a window, gazing at the city lights outside.

He turned, gave Gu Ming a nod, and, skipping the pleasantries, got straight to the point, updating him on the latest developments regarding the Friends of Nature organization.

His tone was calm, but his eyes held a deep, heavy worry.

"According to the high-level intelligence I have, these people have likely undergone ’Solidification’ like Mr. Tree himself, their bodies turning into some sort of plant-like state..."

The Pet Beasts of those high-ranking members, which he didn’t elaborate on, had also been annihilated into a liquid and had vanished without a trace.

"The organization’s core structure across the nation has been basically hollowed out."

But for an organization to be able to shatter the Royal Divination Plate, the karmic ties and the very existence behind it were enough to make one’s blood run cold, terrifying to even contemplate.

Of course, Gu Ming was unaware of this deepest secret of divination.

However, he hadn’t been entirely passive during his questioning by the Administration Bureau.

He had been quietly using the convenience of his system to obtain information from another dimension.

In reality, Lin Yan’s "Slicer" had already self-destructed and made its Escape.

But in the system’s "Future Perspective," the Beastmasters from thirty-two years in the future, who had suffered greatly in the Demon War, had already spent decades researching and preparing for the "Slicers" and the entity behind them.

Therefore, during that "discourse" where time and space were forcibly intertwined due to a system bug...

The "Slicer" had illogically and brazenly appeared to duel Gu Ming, only to be taken down by officials at lightning speed.

Afterward, a special Pet Beast skilled in Soul Capturing and memory reading was deployed, extracting a vast amount of precious intelligence from this "slice":

This included the characteristics of the "Slicers" themselves, the organization’s internal structure, its activity trails over the past few decades, and even some secret arrangements from the beginning of the Demon War...

Although Gu Ming couldn’t learn all the future details from the system’s dialogue, he did grasp some key information about the "Slicer" Lin Yan and his Pet Beast’s abilities.

These fragments of information from the "future," though few, provided him with guidance that transcended his own era.

’Slicer...’

Gu Ming repeated the term in his mind.

The official designation for Lin Yan in the future wasn’t "main body," but "symbiotic consciousness slice." Its source was named the "Thousand-Beard Ancient Tree."

This explained why the captured "Lin Yan" could provide so much intelligence, while his real-world accomplices could vanish simultaneously.

Their bodies had already undergone Demonization and were no longer normal human forms. At the same time, they were controlled by a "mother-body."

When the mother-body sensed danger, it could instantly sever or retract these "external units."

Regarding the "Ancient Divine Deer" that had already appeared, the information from the future system’s database was even more in-depth.

Analysis from the powerful figures of the future indicated that the racial bloodline of Mr. Tree’s Ancient Divine Deer could be traced back to a rare Pet Beast from a previous era, one believed to have had the potential to reach Eight-star and long considered extinct—the Ancient Forest Deer.

However, the Ancient Divine Deer that Gu Ming encountered did not have blood of that purity and had also mutated through some kind of forbidden ritual.

Its true abilities were now different from the original Ancient Forest Deer.

The powerful figures from the future strongly suspected that its abilities were highly compatible with the Power of the "Thousand-Beard Ancient Tree," becoming an extension and manifestation of its will.

For example, its "Peaceful Disguise" Skill was a continuous High Tier Spiritual Field, rated as "High-Risk Induction Type."

By creating an illusion of extreme tranquility and harmony, it subtly lowered a target’s mental defenses, paving the way for a deeper "cognitive distortion" to follow.

The Skill was slow to affect those with extremely firm willpower, but it was exceptionally effective against those who were lost, yearned for Power, or had a natural affinity for nature.
