Bellflower bit onto the dogâs head and dragged it to a space away from prying eyes.
Josh, who had been spectating the events, was eventually pulled away by Zachary. When he discovered Bellflower, he saw that it was gnawing on the dogâs head like a ball.
This was Bellflowerâs first time catching ghosts, and they were also beast spirits. Seeing the dogâs head was akin to seeing a person turning into a ghost after death.
It was not scary per se, but it felt uncomfortable.
Why was it that the phantom cats could catch vengeful spirits, fierce ghosts, and malevolent spirits, but they could only catch ghost puppies and kittens?
They were both cats, so why was there such a stark difference between phantom cats and a mythical beast?
Thinking about the black catâs arrogant face, Bellflower grew so infuriated that it scratched at the dogâs head!
Iâm so mad, Iâm so mad! Itâs bad enough that I catch puppies and kittens, but it almost overpowered me just now!
The dogâs head was violently pummeled by Bellflower, which was an unjust act in itself!
Imagine being the boss of the beast spirits, beaten so mercilessly by a cat that it could not even hold its head up high!
Typically, the souls of puppies and kittens were weak after death. If they managed to survive in the world for two years without reincarnation, it would be considered defying fate.
But in this case, it had survived for two years and evolved into a unique dog spiritâan evil spirit known as a simp!
With such a heaven-defying opportunity, it ended up being at the mercy of a catâs paw!
âAh, ah, ah, ah!â
The dogâs head grew so enraged that it began smashing itself in frustration.
Josh, who had been observing the battle, turned to Zachary.
Are we looking at a chicken fight?
Josh was questioning everything!
The dogâs head, weak, couldnât compare to even the lowest-ranking evil spirits.
Josh could not restrain himself and punched the dogâs head.
In an instant, the dogâs head stuck out its tongue, its eyes rolling back, and it fainted.
Bellflower was speechless.
It had a fierce expression, looking at Josh.
Zachary said, âLetâs go. There are cameras around here.â
With that, he walked away first.
Well⦠Bellflower could only grab the dogâs head and toss it into the bell hanging around its neck.
Joshâs eyes widened in astonishment. âWait, your bell store ghosts too?!â
Bellflower snorted arrogantly and departed.
Josh inquired, âWhere did you get it?â
Joshâs eyes gleamed with interest. What a fantastic item! It would be wonderful if he could make one himself.
âLittle Bellflower, letâs discuss something. Can you lend me your bell for a few days?â Josh chased after Bellflower, a smile on his face.
Bellflower disappeared in a flash.
Josh could only stare blankly, feeling dissatisfied. If given the chance to study the differences in bells, he would surely invent one!
âBellflowerâ¦â Josh ran after the cat.
When they arrived at the Crawford mansion, Bellflower instinctively jumped into Lillyâs room.
At that moment, Lillyâs room was pitch black. Even the adjacent room through the balcony was quiet, and the noisy parrot was nowhere to be seen.
How boringâ¦
Bellflower crouched on the mat and began grooming its paws.
The soft jingling sound of the bell around Bellflowerâs neck filled the air.
It had snatched the bell from the black cat, and it only made a sound when there was a ghost trapped inside, otherwise, it would be silent.
Bellflower raised its paw and examined the bell. It did not move, but invisible dark energy converged around it, gathering in its eyesâ¦
âMeowâ¦â Bellflower was taken aback.
After a whileâ¦
Bellflower shook the bell, and the dogâs head immediately burst out, only to be promptly pressed down by Bellflowerâs paw.
Entering the bell and then coming out, the ghost was transformed into a round, flattened shape.
Now, the dogâs head was only the size of an adultâs fist, and it was being toyed with by Bellflower, like a mouse in play.
Josh and Zachary returned shortly, heading straight to Lillyâs room and poking their heads through the door. âBellflower, come out!â
Bellflower paid them no mind.
Zachary said, âMy sister isnât here. We canât just enter her room directly. Come out⦠come to my room.â
Bellflower remained silent.
Curiosity got the best of both Josh and Zachary when they witnessed a dog transforming into a ghost for the first time.
In the end, they resorted to both gentle and forceful persuasion, managing to trick Bellflower into Zacharyâs room.
âQuick, ask it what its name is, where itâs from, and how it died!â Josh exclaimed, taking out a small notebook, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Bellflower asked the dog, âMeow meow⦠meow.â
The dogâs head growled, âWoof, woof, woof!â
Bellflower swiped its paw over.
The dog replied, âWoof, woof, woof, woofâ¦â
Josh looked at the cat, then at the dog, and found himself unable to understand what they were talking about.
He sighed in frustration.
I miss Lilsâ¦
If his sister were here, she would surely be able to understand the dogâs barks and whinesâ¦
Now he could only witness the interactions between the dogâs head and Bellflower, leaving him feeling restless as he could not know what the dog was talking about.
â¦
Compared to the events in the mortal world, time passed quickly in the underworld.
When Lilly woke up, she felt energized.
With a groan, she rolled over and sat up, staring blankly at the dreamlike room. The scene before her seemed strange yet familiarâ¦
Who was she? Where was sheâ¦
Oh, right! She was in the underworld. She was the Little Hades⦠Her father was Emperor Prosper!
Lilly snapped back to reality, and at that moment, the deep-rooted âhatredâ within her surged.
Excitedly, she exclaimed, âDaddy, letâs go! Letâs go beat up the King of Cities!â
The King of Cities bullied Lilly and Pablo for so long that Pablo almost died because of it.
This time, she would give the King of Cities a taste of his own medicine!
But Blake interjected, âWait a minuteâ¦â
