"Ha, I've arrived at my stop, I'm too lazy to argue with you guys." The man with the square face said, then turned to prepare to get off the bus.
The young man standing on his right was holding a plastic bag.
The square-faced man pushed the young man and hurried toward the rear door of the bus.
Qiao Sang noticed that his hand touched the young man's shoulder, but not any other part of his body, yet the plastic bag made a rustling sound.
"Fire Fang, use Ember on his waist." Qiao Sang commanded directly.
Fire Fang was in a state of readiness, ready to strike at any moment.
He was very annoyed by this human, and if it weren't for his tamer holding him back, he would have already used all his skills on him.
Now that he had the order, he gathered all his energy and unleashed it.
The small embers that were usually the size of a baby's fist were now as large as an adult's hand.
"Tube!!!"
A sharp scream echoed throughout the bus.
Everyone on the bus was shocked, and the passengers who had just stepped onto the bus from the front door were so frightened that they retreated back to the platform.
"Driver, close the door!" Qiao Sang turned to shout at the driver.
The driver, seeing the scene in the rearview mirror, was stunned for a moment.
He saw a white hydra with eight tentacles suddenly appear in the bus, and as it appeared, a large number of items fell from its tentacles.
"Driver, close the door!" Qiao Sang reminded the driver again when he saw no movement.
"Oh, oh." The driver came to his senses and fumbled to press the button to close the door.
Seeing the driver close the door, Qiao Sang refocused her attention.
What is this?
Although she had been cramming knowledge recently, Qiao Sang, being a poor student, still couldn't identify the extraordinary creature in front of her.
Qiao Sang turned to the female student and asked, "What is this?"
"It's my phone!"
"Mine too!"
"My Sasa fruit!"
"The necklace I bought for my girlfriend is also here!"
"My shoe insoles!!!"
The people on the bus excitedly claimed their belongings one by one.
The square-faced man watched the scene with a dark expression.
Everything happened so suddenly, and his eight-tentacled coral was injured, preventing him from getting off the bus in time. Now the door was closed, and the stolen items had all fallen out.
It's all this woman's fault!
The square-faced man glared at the girl with Fire Fang.
If it weren't for this Fire Fang and this girl, he wouldn't have failed this time!
Now it was too late. A bus full of people was staring at him, and if he tried to escape, he would have to break the bus, which would definitely injure the passengers.
He knew the difference between theft and assaulting citizens. The former would result in a fine and a few months in jail, while the latter could lead to several years to several decades in prison.
He could only stay quiet and wait for the police to come and arrest him.
Seeing the square-faced man's expression become dejected, Qiao Sang put away her unnamed extraordinary creature, looking like she was ready to be captured.
"Everyone, hold him down so he doesn't escape!" Qiao Sang shouted.
She threw a punch, and the square-faced man instinctively took two steps back. Everyone thought he was trying to escape and swarmed to pin him to the ground.
Someone said, "You still dare to hit people?!"
Everyone immediately became angry. How dare he be so arrogant after being caught stealing?
They immediately started punching and kicking him.
"I didn't!" the square-faced man roared.
Unfortunately, no one listened to him, and his voice was soon drowned out by the sounds of punches and kicks.
Qiao Sang contributed eighteen kicks, then sat down when she was tired.
After a while, the crowd dispersed.
The man lay on the ground like a dead pig, with a bruised nose and face, and claw marks on his face. His square face had turned into a bun face, making it impossible to recognize him.
Fire Fang squeezed through the crowd, its wet eyes blinking at Qiao Sang.
They looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other.
Someone had called the police, and the police car arrived quickly.
The three police officers who arrived had difficulty identifying the man's disfigured face, but fortunately, he was still wearing the tamer's badge on his chest.
The police scanned the badge to confirm his identity.
"Who discovered he was stealing?" one of the police officers asked.
"It was her!" the female student said, raising Qiao Sang's hand.
The surrounding passengers also nodded in agreement.
The police officer who asked the question came to Qiao Sang and said gently, "We need you to come to the police station to give a statement."
Qiao Sang hesitated, "My mom is waiting for me to come home for dinner."
The police officer smiled, "It will be quick. This is a good deed, and your mom won't blame you if you call her."
Qiao Sang shook her head and refused, "Everyone on the bus is a witness. Call them. I really need to go home first."
The police officer continued, "This man is Chen Jianhui, a repeat offender. We've been offering a reward for his capture for some time. This time, you discovered him, and you need to claim the 50,000 Alliance coins reward."
Qiao Sang was surprised, "There's such a reward?"
She immediately said seriously, "I will give the statement without hesitation. When can we go?"
The police officer: "…"
As Qiao Sang was about to get into the police car, the female student held her back, "My name is Bai Yunmiao. Can I add you as a friend?"
"Of course." Qiao Sang smiled and took out her phone to add her.
...
...
When Qiao Sang returned home, it was already 20:48.
Fortunately, she had called the police to explain her whereabouts to her mother, so she was greeted with a gentle welcome when she returned.
"You must be tired from coming home so late. Come and eat quickly; I just reheated the food in the pot."
Qiao Sang was already hungry. The five skewers of lamb she had eaten a few hours ago were not enough to fill her. She sat at the table and started eating.
"Fire Fang must be hungry too. Here, I made a special nutritious dinner for you." Her mother brought a plate of specially prepared energy food to Fire Fang and smiled.
Qiao Sang felt that the food in her mouth wasn't as tasty. She stopped eating and looked worriedly at Fire Fang.
Fire Fang didn't notice Qiao Sang's gaze. He stared at the energy food, barked, and happily started eating.
Qiao Sang sighed in relief. At least the situation she was worried about didn't happen...
When she finished eating, she saw that Fire Fang had already finished his energy food and was wagging his tail, waiting for her.
Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.
Is Fire Fang's appetite bigger than usual?
Qiao Sang didn't think much about it. She carried Fire Fang to her room, turned on her computer, and started searching for the name of the extraordinary creature from the bus.
Since she didn't know its name, she could only search by its physical characteristics.
"Does anyone know what the white, eight-tentacled, invisible extraordinary creature is?"
There are millions of extraordinary creatures in the world, and many have similar characteristics.
Qiao Sang searched for about ten minutes before finding the answer she was looking for.
"Eight-Tentacled Coral"
