BXBX NOVEL Chapter 162 - Obitos Caused Trouble
Jessica tossed Winry, who was pleading desperately, into the Gates of Hell. The Bloody Hunter also returned after getting his reward.
Everything was finally over. Chen Zhao couldn’t stop Winry and Trede’s bloodshed, but at least everything was over.
No one would ever be stupid enough to summon a demon to kill people in town.
Obitos suddenly grew furious. He looked into the darkness. Something seemed to be approaching.
“Ah...Chen!” David and Sienna had arrived. Both were completely exhausted.
“Chen, where’s the old witch and Trede? Where did they go?”
“Uh...it’s over. I got it... How did you know I’m here?”
“There was such a big commotion. Did the old witch finish the sacrifice and summon the demon?”
“Huh? What’s this?” David got close to Obitos.
Obitos spat fire in David’s face. Thankfully, Obitos was much weaker now and his dragon breath wasn’t that destructive. Otherwise, David would be scorched by now.
“Wow...this lizard can spit fire.”
“This...” Sienna was suspicious. This clearly wasn’t an average lizard because it could spit fire and had wings. “Fire dragon?”
“A child,” Chen Zhao answered. “His name is Obitos. Obitos, she’s Sienna and he’s David. They’re my friends. Don’t hurt people without reason like that anymore, got it?”
Obitos spread his wings. He circled above Chen Zhao and landed on his shoulder. This landing almost sent Chen Zhao to the ground.
Even though Obitos was a few thousand times smaller than before, he was still a huge lizard and around 100 pounds.
“Put your wings away,” Chen Zhao said. “I know you can do it.”
Roar—
As expected, only Chen Zhao could understand what he was saying, just like with Beelzebub and the others.
Obitos shook his back and the wings went away.
“Chen, you took care of the demon by yourself?”
“Is everything over?”
“Is that really a fire dragon?”
“I’m tired. I’m going to rest.” Chen Zhao truly was tired. He’d worked hard the entire night and could finally rest.
His legs turned to jelly and he sat on to the ground, unable to move. He hadn’t done much fighting other than running, but he felt physical and mental fatigue.
“Chen, what’s wrong?” David and Sienna hurried over to help him up.
“Nothing... Just tired.”
David and Sienna automatically imagined that Chen Zhao had gone through a horrible fight.
David carried Chen Zhao down the mountain. When they returned home and Fali and Chris saw Chen Zhao being carried, they thought something bad had happened. They immediately came over in concern.
“Chen’s okay. He’s just tired. You don’t know how intense the battle today was. Chen was facing a true demon. You know what the demon was like...”
David described the battle colorfully as if he’d seen it with his own eyes.
“Chen, how do you feel now?” Sienna fed him a bottle of potion with unknown ingredients.
“Much better.” Chen Zhao moved his arms around.
Sienna’s potion was effective, but it wasn’t very obvious. He’d recovered some of his strength, but his mental state was still bad.
“I need to sleep.” Chen Zhao lost his balance and fell back onto the sofa.
“I’ll help you into your room.”
“Oh, David, listen to this recording pen. Delete the unnecessary information and give it to Bant.”
“Okay.”
...
Chen Zhao hadn’t slept so well in a long time. He slept from midnight to the afternoon of the next day—more than ten hours.
Fali and the others knew that Chen Zhao was exhausted, so they didn’t disturb him (which was quite rare).
Chen Zhao stretched and got out of bed to wash up. Knocking came from outside, so he went to open the door with a toothbrush in his mouth.
It was Bant and Ken outside. Chen Zhao pointed at his mouth and then ran into the bathroom to clean his mouth. Going back to the door, he hugged Ken first. “Ken, congrats on your release.”
“Chen, thank you. You saved Ken twice.” Bant looked at him with gratitude.
Ken had a similar expression. If it wasn’t for Chen, he had no clue what situation he’d be in. The first time went without saying—Chen was his lifesaver. The second time, he’d helped exonerate Ken.
“We’re friends. This isn’t my own work either. David actually found out that it was related to Trede and I used this chance to force him to reveal the truth.”
“I understand. I just haven’t seen David yet. Please tell him I said thanks.”
“Tell Mary to give us a large pizza next time. That’s the best way to thank us.”
...
“Ahda, look what I got.”
Chen Zhao was eating breakfast Fali made for him when Obitos came in with a dead poodle in his mouth.
“What the... Did it piss you off?” Chen Zhao hurriedly took the poodle to see if there was any hope left.
Unfortunately, the poodle was completely dead. Chen Zhao buried his face in his hands. He saw Beelzebub, Raymond, and Carrie—the three *ssholes—peering from under the sofa.
It went without guessing that these three had encouraged the young Obitos to do this.
“Don’t hurt any pets in the future. If you want to eat anything—”
Ding dong.
The bell rang, along with a girl’s voice, “Excuse me, anyone home?”
Chen Zhao went to the door and saw a short girl. She seemed to be around 14 or 15, but she’d gone through puberty well.
“Who are you looking for?”
“Uh...I’m Lily’s—.” And then she screamed.
Chen Zhao’s face twitched. He looked at the dead poodle before Obitos. This was a problem...
“Your murderer! You killed Lily!!”
“Uh, miss, I’m very sorry about your pet. My pet slipped outside when I was sleeping. How much money do you want? I can pay you.”
“I don’t want money!” the girl yelled. “You murderer! I’m gonna call the cops! I want you to pay for what you did!”
“Miss, how can I help you?”
Melson and Leonardo walked over. When the girl saw Leonardo’s uniform, she grabbed him and said, “Officer, this guy killed my pet. He’s a murderer.”
Leonardo and Melson were both doubtful. They knew how much Chen Zhao liked little animals. How could he kill someone else’s pet?
