In Manhattan's Central Park at night, in the middle of a lonely dense forest, in a dark area far away from street lights, warm light emanates from a food truck.

The little nine-tailed fox sitting at the dining table tilted its head and looked at the female owner. Then it suddenly leaped over, landed on her shoulder, and sniffed her.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox: "It's a familiar smell."

The little nine-tailed fox's voice was strange, like that of a dog and a cat, but it was obviously not human language.

However, when it spoke, the dialog box that popped up above its head would display text, and from the customer's actions just now, it was obvious that he could understand the words of the little nine-tailed fox.

"Meiyin?"

The nine-tailed fox once had an evolution called "Mesmerizing Voice", which allowed it to understand other people's speech and allow the audience to directly understand its meaning, perfectly overcoming language barriers.

The little nine-tailed fox's current state is very similar to that of "Meiyin". Ren Suo naturally wonders if it is retracing the nine-tailed fox's evolutionary path and regaining its lost evolution.

However, it was beyond Ren Suo's expectation that the little nine-tailed fox would be so intimate with the female shop owner. He didn't remember designing the little nine-tailed fox to be a clingy animal.

"It's the smell of that one-sixth." The little nine-tailed fox continued to smell: "It's the smell of green, although it's very faint."

Ren Suo was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what the little nine-tailed fox was talking about -

When I was fighting the Bombay boss just now, the female shop owner was equipped with the "Struggle Warrior (Incomplete)" and hadn't removed it yet. This ability, one of the six trump cards of the Devouring World Spirit, was so recognizable that the little nine-tailed fox recognized it at first sight.

Ren Suo quickly asked, "Is it so easy to see? Is it obvious?"

The little nine-tailed fox shook his head: "It's not obvious, but I will never forget this feeling. That is the mark of the Supreme Ruler."

The Supreme Ruler...?

Ren Suo asked, "Do you remember what happened in your past?"

The little nine-tailed fox shook his head: "First glance, New York."

The spirit of the Devouring World possessed the nine-tailed fox and enchanted the memories of all living beings, but the little nine-tailed fox did not inherit it and truly started over again.

And it can be seen that the little nine-tailed fox is doing well, otherwise it would not be able to scare off a half-demon with just a single sound.

The little nine-tailed fox jumped from the shop owner's left shoulder to her right shoulder, and then jumped onto the table in front of her. It looked at her and said, "What is your relationship with the Supreme Lord?"

The female shop owner: “I know him.”

The little nine-tailed fox nodded, and instead of asking further questions, he asked, "Do you want me to help you?"

At this point, the game pops up a prompt:

"The 'Nine-Tailed Fox' is willing to assist you in your ghost-hunting activities tonight. Do you accept?"

"Nine-Tailed Fox (Combatant, Mascot): Monster customers favor your ghost gear more, monster customer satisfaction +20%, monster customers weaker than the Nine-Tailed Fox will give it face, even if it tastes bad, they will leave the gift and will not fight."

Without a doubt, he would choose to accept the help of the little nine-tailed fox. Ren Suo happily watched the little nine-tailed fox walking around on the second table, or sitting on the dining table and waving its tail. Ren Suo said, "Don't you want to eat?"

"You don't need that kind of thing." The little nine-tailed fox's words were so domineering that Ren Suo, who was trying every possible way to get a good meal, felt a little envious.

"May I have your name?"

"No name."

"How about you call yourself Xiao Jiu?"

The little nine-tailed fox tilted its head, glanced at the female shop owner, and nodded: "Xiao Jiu likes it very much."

As they were talking, another customer sat down. Ren Suo took a look and immediately knew that this was a monster customer - among all the monsters and ghosts, he had never seen monsters before, demons didn't give money, ghosts were like living people, but monsters... were just small animals.

They would come and sit down in a hurry, using various small movements to show their state of mind, urging the female owner to cook quickly. Some animals couldn't even speak. For example, a mouse kept squeaking the whole time, and the dialog box managed to translate its words.

Their identities were also exposed in their narration - it had only been a year since the spiritual energy was revived, and they had spent more time as small animals than as demons. Their conversations were all about ordinary life, and even their worries were about that cat not kissing them anymore, or that dog not wagging its tail at them...

Monsters are easier to serve than half-demons. Many monsters have short lives, simple desires, and no psychological trauma. They are just a little depressed. Then the female shop owner tells them that the most important thing about being a monster is to be happy, and that feeding them will basically do the job.

The monsters that really dare to cause trouble will be caught and sent for research before they harm more than a few people - all countries in the world attach great importance to monsters and demons, and they are in need of research materials. Now there are so many surveillance cameras, it is not difficult to track the traces of a small animal.

The monsters' intelligence was finally awakened, and they were eager to know more and learn more. After hiding their identities for so long, they finally found the female shop owner to chat with, and they spoke like machine guns.

Today, with the little nine-tailed fox as a security guard, Ren Suo didn't even have to spend money and could just entertain the demon guests on his own.

Even if he didn't cook it well occasionally and the demon customers wanted to get angry, the little nine-tailed fox would snort and they would immediately stop talking, put down their gifts and leave obediently.

Two hours later, a very strange guest came.

He was tall, holding his red windbreaker straight, wearing a red top hat and even sunglasses in the dark, and walked to the food stall carrying a briefcase.

The man in red sat down and didn't say what he wanted to eat specifically, but just said "give me something bloody".

He is half ghost, half demon.

Unlike other ghosts, ghosts are special creatures that mutate and awaken due to the revival of spiritual energy, but he was resurrected by his own awakening spell - blood control. His heart has been destroyed, but he relies on the endless circulation of blood to maintain his life state.

According to him, he was a killer in an organization, and had received all kinds of rigorous training since he was a child. His life was originally going to end in a failed assassination, but all this changed when the spiritual energy revived.

To be precise, after the news of "The Awakening Method of Stealing Heaven's Secrets" appeared on the Internet, the assassin organization suddenly came up with a new idea.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to awaken a killer who is already proficient in various killing techniques? As for the control issue, the killer organization has already installed bombs in the killer's body, so there is no fear at all.

So these newly trained killers were thrown into a painful awakening attempt, and only a few out of dozens of people made it.

But when these people tried to escape from the training base, they were blocked by the organization's firepower. Even if they used their awakened abilities to defuse the bombs in their bodies, no one could escape.

Only the man in red escaped by relying on the awakening spell.

Carrying the blessings and hatred of the dead, the man in red suddenly turned blue, and a pair of pitch-black wings gathered faintly behind him.

"I want revenge! I will make them pay with blood!" said the man in red with hatred.

The female owner nodded and pushed the processed pig blood over.

The man in red ate the pig blood with a spoon and finished it in a short while. Because he was wearing sunglasses, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He was silent for a while and untied his necklace.

He walked around to the back of the food stall, knelt on one knee, and handed the necklace to the female owner. The necklace was strung with a gold ring.

"Can you date me?"

The little nine-tailed fox tilted its head: "???"

Ren Suo outside the screen: “???”
