Chapter 121

Wow? Isn’t this “Ms. Lisa” being a bit too rough on the kids?

Just before the puppies could fall onto the table, Leon quickly grabbed them and checked their appearance, his head filling with question marks.

For no other reason than the fact that Ms. Lisa was a golden retriever, but the little puppy in his arms with blue eyes was black and white, its two triangular ears stubbornly standing upright, with three white spots between its eyebrows forming a fat round “fire” character…

Isn’t this just a Husky?

Umm… hold on.

Just as he was about to draw a conclusion, Leon noticed some sparse golden fur on the puppy’s head, near the back of its skull, which matched Ms. Lisa’s perfectly.

After making direct eye contact with the young Husky in his arms, Leon looked perplexed at the large golden retriever in the glass plate and then turned his head towards Senior Jerry.

“Is Ms. Lisa’s… uh… spouse also a Husky?”

“No, Lisa’s husband is from the same breed as her; he’s also golden.”

After looking at the golden-haired puppy in Leon’s arms, the short man sighed helplessly: “This is Lisa’s husband’s child with his mistress.”

“…”

What the heck! So the male golden retriever cheated on a female Husky and even brought the kid home for the female golden retriever to raise?” Sigh, you don’t know, their family situation is quite complicated.”

After seeing Leon’s stunned face, the short man shook his head: “Lisa’s husband… um… wasn’t a good guy. Three years ago, during the Mirror World invasion, he sensed something was wrong and ran away early with his mistress, leaving an entire litter of puppies behind. Lisa had no children of her own and felt sorry for these little ones calling out pitifully, so she adopted her husband’s children with the mistress.

But it’s fine for the other kids; considering her husband, Lisa could勉强raise them as her own. Except for this little one, apart from the tuft of golden hair on his head, he looks almost exactly like his biological mother. Every time Lisa sees him, she’s reminded of her husband’s mistress.

Sigh… Although Lisa has a soft heart and has been raising this little one, she’s always felt uneasy inside. For the first few years, she would secretly cry every time she saw him. So it’s actually a good thing that you’re taking him away.”

“…”

“I see…”

With a somewhat stiff expression, Leon listened to this “dog drama” and didn’t know what to say. He could only reach out and pet the little golden hair on the Husky pup’s head.

[Name: Mirror Dog (Traverse)]

[Appearance: A young Husky with sparse yellow hair on its head]

[Ability: Enter and exit the Mirror World]

[Cost: 3-4 small bowls of dog food daily, about 80-120 grams each time, and ensure adequate exercise. However, as it grows older, its appetite will increase accordingly.]

[File: A creature from the Mirror World, 3 years and 6 months old, gifted by Level 2 Crisis Handler Jerry Beck of the Clearing Bureau Virgo Branch to Level 3 Incident Handler Leon Lane]

[Assessment: A wondrous creature capable of freely traversing between worlds, extremely rare and uncommon. Its intelligence is slightly higher than ordinary dogs, and its lifespan is very long. It ages at one-fifth the speed of humans, equivalent to twenty-five times that of regular dogs. If well cared for, it could potentially outlive eighteen generations of your descendants.]

[Taint Value: 0.1]

“…”

It’s… actually pretty easy to take care of…

After touching the Husky pup’s smooth golden hair, Leon looked up at Senior Jerry with a speechless expression and couldn’t help but ask:

“I need a place to store boxes. Isn’t it a bit too small? Can it handle the job?”

The short man pulled out a small mirror he carried with him while speaking and waved it over the pile of anomalous items on the table.

“Woof!”

With a familiar bark, everything the small mirror “illuminated” disappeared as if erased by an eraser. Meanwhile, another table reflected in the small mirror was now filled with stuff.

“See, it works like this.”

After demonstrating the basic use of the [Mirror Dog], the short man returned to his desk, rummaged through a cabinet under it for a while, and handed over an identical small mirror. Then, with a serious expression, he reminded: “Also, they aren’t just tools for storing things; they are also excellent assistants and companions!

Because the definition of the Mirror World isn’t just ‘mirrors’ themselves. Anything that reflects an image can be considered an entrance to the ‘Mirror World’.

So don’t underestimate this little one, even though its Leon Value is almost the lowest. If used properly, its abilities can save your life in critical moments… like this!”

While speaking, the short man kicked off the office carpet, revealing the cement floor underneath, then took the water cup on the table and splashed most of the water onto the ground.

After a few seconds, when the water stabilized and formed a relatively flat “mirror”, Ms. Lisa’s figure appeared in the puddle on the ground, picking up a small knife and throwing it out.

No mistake, the content is within 69 book bar!

“I was once ambushed by members of the Nightmare Black Sect. They took everything from me, broke my limbs, tied me up, and locked me in a pitch-black dungeon. They thought that would confine me, but they didn’t know I still had Lisa.”

Pointing at the puddle on the ground, the short man said with lingering fear:

“Those lunatics were already very cautious, but during the interrogation, I kept talking nonsense and managed to get several cups of water. After holding it in for half a day, I peed on the ground, using an emergency anomalous item I prepared beforehand to heal my wounds, barely escaping.”

“And besides saving lives in emergencies, it can also do this.”

Reaching into his pocket, the short man pulled out a palm-sized metal object and placed the heavy metal ball into Leon’s hand, then lightly snapped his fingers.

“Woof!”

With a bark right next to him, Leon felt his vision blur, and the metal ball vanished directly from his hand!” The human eye actually also has reflections. As long as what you see isn’t obstructed, Lisa can take it directly, and not only can she take things away, she can also bring them back.”

“Woof!”

Pointing at the metal ball that reappeared with the bark, the short man seriously explained: “The thing in your hand is a whale oil explosive I obtained from the Military Department, and I’ve enhanced its explosion effect with an anomalous item. Once activated, it can blow up an entire building and release combustion agents exceeding 1000 degrees Celsius. With proper training, that little one can deliver this directly to your enemy’s face.”

“…”

Ah Zhe?! No wonder you’re a “semi-step-one” big shot. Emma Senior uses sniper rifles, and I already think that’s outrageous enough. You’re throwing bombs right in their face, ten times more dishonorable than her!!!

Seeing the intense shock and admiration in Leon’s eyes, the short man who wanted to connect with this “appraisal master” grinned.

“Of course, forcibly taking or releasing larger objects from such a small reflection consumes a lot of energy. Before your Leon Value breaks through 10 points, you probably won’t be able to do it, and that little one needs to grow up a bit more. Currently, you two can’t achieve it yet.

I’m telling you all this because I hope you value that little one. Don’t just see it as a suitcase you don’t have to carry. Its abilities are truly exceptional, and it’s a shame not to make full use of them.

Oh, and in the future, when you can use the whale oil explosives, feel free to come find me. I’ll give you two for free then. But now… uh…”

Hearing the whining of the puppy and the sudden disappearance of the whale oil explosive from Leon’s palm, the short man couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.

“How did you do that?! Do you also have an anomalous item that lets you communicate with animals?”
