No answer came from the darkness.
Miao Miao carefully picked up the kerosene lamp and lit it.
Dim light slowly filled the room.
The moment she saw the situation in the room, Miao Miao couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
This was because there was a pile of Rini notes and crystals of various colors scattered on the floor.
The crystals shimmered with color in the dim light, glowing invitingly.
Furthermore, the tall monster she'd seen earlier in the day stood before the pile of crystals.
She stared at the monster in mild surprise, wondering why it had appeared and the floor was filled with crystals and Rini.
Meanwhile, at that moment, in her head, she heard a hoarse female voice speak with difficulty.
"Master… commanded… protect… safety."
"Completely… remove… threats."
The girl was confused.
…
In the distance, at the "shopping street" of the slums.
In the closed sundry shop.
