Chapter 21 Tossing a Coin
As the car drove into Lundam, Wayne randomly picked an alley to abandon it, and gave the materials in the car to the lucky ones.
The four of them took a taxi back to the detective agency, and the three of Veronica were anxious to return to the college. They still had their graduation thesis and the report on the elimination of the death stronghold to be completed.
Before leaving, the three of them expressed their gratitude to Wayne. Wayne saved them no matter what.
When they are done with the past few days, they will come to the detective agency with gifts.
Chrissy told Wayne not to go out if nothing happened. Although the death energy in his body was dissipated by the Door of Truth, which was a blessing in disguise, there were still other death walkers in Lundan, and there was no guarantee that he would be targeted again one day.
Chris valued Wayne very much and wanted to take him to the college for the entrance ceremony now. However, Evanston was a women's college and it was impossible to recruit male students.
Chris remembered that there was a night school specifically for training magicians. She had to consult for details. Moreover, the night school was a crash course with limited teaching content. She would have to personally tutor Wayne for some time in the future.
After Wayne has completed his initial studies and accumulated a certain amount of knowledge, he will be recommended a qualified tutor.
In this way, when Wayne bathes in the radiance of the goddess, he will inevitably fall into the embrace of the moonlight.
This is sure!
…
Wayne waved goodbye to the three of them and followed Chris's advice not to go out unless there was nothing wrong.
He hailed a taxi at the door and headed to the apartment where the failed art student lived.
Don't go out if you have nothing to do, he is busy.
It's time to meet the vengeful spirit!
Wayne signed a contract with the Wraith Dog and got his first summoned beast. Before, he had zero magic power and could not feed the other party to move freely.
It's different now. Wayne is like a young man who has just gained superpowers. He feels very good about himself and can't wait to awaken his servants.
In addition to the expectation for the first summoned beast, he also had a reason why he had to go. The spirit of revenge had awakened. If he could not get the master's magic power for a long time, he would fall into madness due to hunger, and the possibility of devouring the master was extremely high.
It was getting late, and Wayne didn't want to delay, so he decided to make a quick decision and get the dog home before nightfall.
Of course, he was not defenseless at all. Just in case, he carried the Bible for restraining evil spirits in his arms.
And white gloves.
He was confident that even if he was unlucky enough to be targeted by Ah Piao, he would still be able to chase him around, and it would be uncertain who would scare whom.
Today is different from the past, young people are not poor...well, not so poor anymore, at least they are not afraid of Ah Piao anymore!

The taxi stopped on the side of the road, and Wayne followed the guidance of the Book of Greed to find the burial place of the Vengeful Spirit.
The Book of Greed can only capture the wails of resentful spirits and cannot respond to the wishes of living people. This makes Wayne very unhappy. Living people are so good. Signing a master-servant contract with a magical girl can be done in one step. The path of a mage will definitely be smooth. Quite a few.
With the Book of Greed leading the way, Wayne quickly arrived at his destination, a wasteland backed by a pet shelter. There was also a veterinary clinic nearby, and the barking of large dogs could be heard from time to time. .
As night approached, the sound was very much like a wolf's howl, and coupled with the gradually filling fog, the atmosphere immediately became eerie and strange.
It was really weird. Wayne saw a lot of green light spots emerging from the ground, gathering together like phosphorous fire, and beating with a faint coldness.
"Damn taxi driver, he must have taken a detour!"
Wayne complained that he was late. After a few steps, he stopped in front of a piece of soft mud. He closed his eyes and called his servants, and transmitted magic power to them through the Book of Greed.
The soft, wet soil slowly rose up, and a rotten claw crawled out. The disgusting stench hit, making Wayne cover his nose.
Having a dog nose is not necessarily a good thing. It breaks many illusions. For example, beautiful girls’ farts smell good.
A large, rotting dog crawled out of the cemetery. One eye was gray, and the dark green flames danced in the dark eye sockets on the other side. After receiving the magic power of its owner, the rotting flesh and blood on its body quickly fell away, leaving only a skeleton.
The hazy mist piled up and wrapped around the undead dog's skeleton like arms, reorganizing the translucent body. It looked both evil and ferocious, but also somewhat heroic and handsome.
This is a Doberman, compact and well-proportioned, with a shoulder height of nearly 70 centimeters. The ears are not docked and the tail is not docked, and the drooping ears are not erect.
The rotten smell in the air dissipated a lot. Their eyes met and the Doberman showed its gums and growled. Wayne saw the unforgettable resentment in its eyes.
A picture flashed by, explaining the past of the Vengeful Spirit.
This Doberman was raised as a pet by a little boy. The boy grew up to be a young man and enrolled in the army. The boy’s family had no time to take care of the Doberman, so they fostered it in a pet shelter.
The staff at the shelter don't care about the dogs, they cut fees to make money, use the cheapest low-quality dog food, and starve them from time to time. Dogs are bathed directly in cages with water. Doberman Pinschers suffer from bacterial infections because their ears are not cropped.
Later, the Doberman became pregnant and gave birth to seven babies.
The staff at the shelter got excited, registered the seven puppies, and applied for a wave of dog food funds. The money was not spent on the Dobermans, it all went into the pockets of the employees. All seven puppies were thrown to death by the employees in front of the Dobermans.
The fog was so thick that night that the Doberman went crazy and starved to death for attacking the employee. He dug a hole and buried it in the wasteland.
In this wasteland, there are still many pets that died due to abuse. Whenever night falls, the remaining cold light floats quietly.
"Damn it!" Wayne felt a headache after seeing it. He sensed the Doberman's desire for revenge and understood the meaning of the name "Spirit of Vengeance".
The spirit of vengeance is not caused by chaos. If Wayne wants to gain the loyalty of the other party, he must let the other party complete his revenge. Only in this way can the spirit of vengeance bid farewell to the past.
This is a headache!
As a scumbag who loves cats and dogs, Wayne is extremely disgusted with animal cruelty, especially the employees of pet shelters. They are paid to do nothing and deserve to be haunted by vengeful spirits.
However, Wayne believed that human life was greater than dog life, so he let the Doberman complete his revenge...
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Sensing Wayne's hesitation, the spirit of revenge immediately became restless, and the growl in his throat became stronger.
"Don't make trouble, I didn't say no."
Wayne struggled for a moment and took out a coin from his pocket: "Okay, let's flip a coin to decide. Heads, you go and complete your revenge. Tails, I help you get justice through legal means. How about that?" "
The Spirit of Vengeance was not satisfied with this arrangement and stared intently at Wayne's neck, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of eating the Lord in exchange for free movement.
Wayne touched his neck and said with a toothache: "Good dog, I am a detective, best at collecting evidence. If I take action, those idle guys will definitely be kicked out of the shelter. Then I will come back Spend money to buy some traffic, publish it in newspapers, and denounce these inhumane scum. The angry people will not let them go."
The spirit of vengeance didn't understand, and was eager to bite the master.
Wayne had no choice but to find it difficult to communicate with the spirit of vengeance, so he held a Bible in his arms to calm the other party down.
One man and one dog stood face to face. After a while, night fell completely, and the surrounding fog filled the air to an exaggerated level.
The body of the Spirit of Vengeance is originally made of condensed mist. It blends with the mist, and the two balls of cold flames that keep beating make Wayne's pressure double.
Maybe, maybe, 80%, he couldn't beat this dog.
"Let me take a step back. I will love you well from now on. I will treat you with the best dog food and the best kennel to give you face. After all, I can be considered your master." Wayne said with a solemn expression.
This time, the spirit of vengeance did not resist. It was probably Wayne's description that awakened its fond memories, and it silently agreed to toss the coin to make its choice.
"People are doing it, God is watching, let God decide their fate..."
Wayne shrugged, raised his hand and flicked the coin into the air. Their gazes followed the coin's descent until it stood vertically in the mud.
"..." x2
Wayne was confused, and so was the dog. It was neither heads nor tails. How to choose?
Wayne came back to his senses and muttered: "It's half and half. You bite them half to death. After that, I investigate and collect evidence and publish it in the newspaper to criticize their evil deeds."
The spirit of vengeance said nothing, debating whether to throw it again.
"Don't worry, I'm very good to my dog. I will ensure that these people lose their jobs and live on the streets. When they find jobs, I will buy traffic and denounce the evil boss who provided them with jobs..."
Wayne became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and for the first time he realized how bad he was: "You know, if you live on the street, you must sleep on the street. You often stay up late at night. When you get lost, you meet them again, and then you keep biting, chasing, and letting them keep going. Falling into a nightmare of revenge from a wraith dog.”
The spirit of vengeance's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly to express that this was good, and it would be too easy to kill those people all at once.
How good is the master?
"It only breaks once in a while, as long as you like it."
Wayne replied subconsciously. After speaking, he was stunned for a moment and realized that he could hear the voice from the bottom of the other person's heart.
"Go, it's too late, I'm still waiting to go home!"
"Hohohoho——"
The mist surged up wildly, and the violent resentment instantly raised a ten-meter-high wall of mist, carrying green will-o'-the-wisps and rushing toward the pet shelter like a tsunami.
It was night, with screams and barking dogs, and the entire shelter was firmly covered in fear.
The next day, the newspaper published news that a shelter employee was attacked by a rabid dog.
The employees had horrific bite marks on their bodies and were infected with the virus and had high fevers. At the end of the report, the reporter expressed regret, saying that a group of kind-hearted people who love animals should not have ended up like this.
People also expressed their sympathy, and some people went to the hospital to visit them.
After the matter fermented for two days, the shocking words were published in the newspapers again. The cold photos were accompanied by curse words, which set off a large-scale crusade.
The bones buried in the wasteland were exhumed, and a bunch of photos came into the public eye. The popularity continues...
————
Detective agency at night.
Wayne put down the newspaper and black tea and looked around: "Hey, where is Abin? Did he run out to play with someone again?"
"It's so late at night, so energetic!"
