My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Chapter 1065: Chapter 600: Mo Suo’s Traces (2)

But Vivian’s strength was still ridiculously great; she straight‑up dragged the still‑dazed Shen Sui into a shop by the street.

However, Vivian’s excitement was instantly crushed into dust.

She slumped over the table, her long red hair drooping as well, looking like she’d just lost the meaning of life.

"So... nasty..." Vivian’s voice was full of disappointment.

"It’s not that bad..." Shen Sui ate another piece, blinking as he said, "At most it’s just got no flavor."

"So nasty..." Vivian kept repeating.

"Can’t be helped. The animals in this area can’t be eaten lately. These chickens were slaughtered outside Lingnan and shipped in frozen." The owner said to Shen Sui, his face full of distress. "Any live livestock brought in from outside—once it enters this area, it’ll grow bigger within a few hours."

"The flavor’s gone bad, looks like business is getting worse too."

The boss sneered disdainfully. "Worse my ass, business at the port is booming."

Animals getting bigger and tasting worse was a fact.

But when locals in Lingnan said the flavor got worse, they mostly meant the original taste of the ingredients had vanished.

Yet in other people’s eyes, Lingnan had already become a natural "food amplifier." Any meat animal that took a stroll here would immediately have its body size enlarged—practically more effective than any growth hormone.

Even though Huaxia had clearly banned such animals from the dining table, the profits involved were just too huge. In just a few days, a large‑scale livestock‑amplification industry had formed in Lingnan’s waters. The domestic operations got cracked down, and then foreign smugglers and illegal traffickers came.

So before the source of the incident was even fully investigated, most official manpower had already been scattered dealing with these things.

In the face of absolute profit, many people really did go insane.

Fortunately, after Shen Sui talked her up and down, he finally managed to calm Vivian down.

Vivian took Shen Sui to the An Family’s residence.

Looking at the residential area in front of him, Shen Sui couldn’t help but marvel at the An Family’s luxury.

Rather than calling this a residential compound, it was more like an entire village.

In fact, that wasn’t far from the truth. The An Family had grown to a considerable size by now. They were spread across all walks of life, using clan connections to control resources and passing those resources down, gradually forming a huge network.

The most luxurious building in this residential zone was actually the An Family’s ancestral hall.

And according to intel, An Hai went missing near the ancestral hall.

So the Exploration Bureau inferred that the suspect was someone within the An Family.

Vivian acted like she was coming home; in no time she’d arranged lodging for the group.

Right then, Qishala and the others who’d gone to scout the surroundings also returned.

Qishala still looked as elegant and tranquil as ever, but Freymia and Martina were obviously a lot more bedraggled.

The moment Freymia saw Shen Sui, she excitedly threw herself into his arms.

"So scary! This place is so scary!" Freymia buried her head against Shen Sui’s chest and muttered.

Martina actually wanted to rush over and hug Shen Sui too, but she was a step slower than Freymia. A bit disappointed, she drew her leg back, though she very much agreed with Freymia’s conclusion.

Lingnan was indeed a frightening place.

Shen Sui tried to wriggle free of Freymia’s hug, seeing as the bounce coming from her chest was putting considerable pressure on his ribs.

With no other choice, Shen Sui had to forcibly pry Freymia’s arms off. Under the effect of natural springiness, the two popped apart at once.

Feeling his breathing clear again, Shen Sui let out a long breath and finally asked, "So, how was it exactly?"

Freymia and Martina started chattering over each other, recounting everything they’d run into along the way.

Like a basin‑sized cockroach lifting a manhole cover to greet her, or some guy fishing by the lake getting into close‑quarters combat with a tilapia the same size as him.

After that whole vivid description, Shen Sui almost suspected the entire world had transmigrated.

Still, although Freymia and the others had been scared, their trip hadn’t been entirely fruitless.

Qishala raised her hand, and a water orb appeared in her palm.

The orb was distinctly purple, flowing constantly in Qishala’s hand. "This is a substance Martina extracted from the water. We suspect this is the culprit behind the animals in this region suddenly growing larger."

Looking at the water orb in Qishala’s hand, Shen Sui suddenly remembered something and flipped his hand. A bottle of purple potion appeared in his grasp.

The aura of the two was extremely similar—he could basically confirm they were the same substance.

"What exactly is that..." Freymia stared at the potion in Shen Sui’s hand and asked in surprise.

"High‑grade Growth Potion." Shen Sui said. "One of the items in the game, nicknamed ’Super Lean‑Meat Agent’ by players—a potion used to rapidly level up Spirit Beasts."

The moment Shen Sui entered the Beast Taming World, what came back to his hands wasn’t just his in‑game pets, but also a whole series of items.

"Looks like a Beast Taming Master really did show up here." Shen Sui narrowed his eyes.

The An Family’s Life Card Masters—their Soul Card Worlds were basically all Beast Taming Worlds.

So the Exploration Bureau’s suspicion that the culprit might be an An Family member wasn’t baseless at all.

As a Life Card Master whose Soul Card World was also the Beast Taming World, Vivian was naturally very familiar with the potion in Shen Sui’s hand.

High‑grade Growth Potion was one of the rarest classes of potion in the Beast Taming World.

"Isn’t Alice in the Beast Taming World?" Vivian decided on the spot. "When you have her deal with Haral, have her swing by the city where the An Family is based and check the circulation of high‑grade Growth Potions there. With something this rare, there’s definitely records of every shipment in and out."

Vivian could investigate this herself as well, but if the other party really was an An Family member, she was worried that personally digging around would Rattle the Grass and Startle the Snake. In this kind of situation, bringing in Alice as a third party was obviously the best option.

"You’re sure..." Shen Sui looked at Vivian hesitantly. "About having Alice go over there?"

Questioned like that, Vivian also lost a bit of confidence. "Then we investigate here first? If we really can’t find anything, we’ll look for a breakthrough in the Soul Card World."

Just then, a man’s voice came from outside the door.

"Second Sis! You’re back?"

An Yang?

Hearing the voice, Shen Sui immediately made the connection.

When An Yang appeared before Shen Sui again, he looked very haggard: deep‑set eyes, his whole person listless, like he hadn’t slept in days.

"You came back because of Big Brother?" An Yang glanced at Shen Sui, then shifted his gaze back to Vivian.

Seeing the state An Yang was in, Vivian frowned. "What’s with you?"

"Forget about what’s with me." An Yang’s voice was a little urgent. "If you really came back because of Big Brother, then you’d better get out of here fast. Its target is all Life Card Masters from World No. 10. Big Brother wasn’t the first, and definitely won’t be the last..."

"It?" Vivian narrowed her eyes. "Sounds like you know something, An Yang."

She folded her arms across her chest, eyes locked on An Yang.

An Yang clutched his head and half‑squatted, his face full of pain.

Vivian didn’t say anything more to verbally needle this cut‑rate little brother; she simply watched him silently.

After quite a while, An Yang finally managed to calm down. As a Life Card Master, emotional management was compulsory training. However incompetent An Yang might be, he’d at least gone through that.

He took a couple of deep breaths and said, "I’ve seen that thing. It’s a terrifying existence..."

An Yang slowly began recounting what he’d experienced at the An Family’s ancestral estate.

Though it had only been a fleeting glimpse, the pressure and fear that terrifying Spirit Beast left on him were something An Yang would never forget for the rest of his life.

Its body was all black mist, countless eyes faintly visible beneath the haze, emitting golden pinpricks of light.

Its shape was irregular, changing at will as it passed obstacles, like a patch of dark cloud sliding along the ceiling.

After hearing An Yang’s description, Shen Sui made a definitive judgment:

"It’s Mo Suo."

As he spoke, Shen Sui looked over at the intrigued Vivian and grinned. "Interested in catching it as a pet?"

"Sounds pretty strong." Vivian stretched her limbs.

Sure, this whole family had been discount‑bundled to her under the Candlelight Illusion settings, but they were still Vivian’s family—no random thing got to bully them.
