My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods-Chapter 22: Golden Truant

“An enemy?”
Lu Yu heard the voice and immediately realized this was a Beast Tamer from the school—a friendly unit.
It made sense.
After all, the commotion from the battle inside wasn't small. With such a powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, they would have to be useless not to have noticed.
Lu Yu organized his words:
“It wasn't an outside intruder, it was…”
“Not an external enemy? Could it be… a mole? Excellent—oh no, I mean, how terrible!”
Before Lu Yu could even explain, the voice from the back of the Lion-faced Deer grew louder, and a graceful figure leaped down, landing steadily on the ground.
Appearing before Lu Yu was a young woman wearing a black peaked cap and a white windbreaker.
Underneath was a black, high-collared, athletic crop top, which exposed her snowy white shoulders while tightly hugging her fiery figure, yet it still couldn't stop the feeling that she was about to burst forth.
A cascade of black hair fell to her waist, with a few strands resting upon her astonishing bust.
She wore black trousers and knight boots, accentuating her slender, long legs and outlining a perfect hip curve.
The rabbit skull pattern on her belt was grinning maniacally while holding a bomb, showing that its owner was not someone with a good temper.
And what was most exaggerated was that on either side of her slender waist were two bulging black holsters, and she was even carrying a submachine gun on her back, connected by a strap to a shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
At this moment, Lu Yu also noticed that the Lion-faced Deer was strapped with a considerable amount of munitions as well.
She was practically a walking armory!
In his previous life, this would have been enough to wage a small-scale battle.
Even in the Beast Taming World, except for some pet beasts born with tough fur or shells, firearms still posed a certain threat to any pet beast below the Commander Rank.
Besides, this world's Technological Civilization was also highly advanced, with its mechanical technology tree far surpassing that of his previous life.
Some Mechanical Products were even beginning to develop spirituality and could be contracted by human Beast Tamers to evolve together; they had even developed large-scale weapons of mass destruction.
Power has no hierarchy; it only depends on how it is used.
Therefore, Lu Yu would not look down on technology.
After all, in his view, anything good could be absorbed; the extraordinary and technology could also complement each other.
“You're the person in charge of this base, right?”
She strode forward, bringing a gust of fragrance with her, elegant like a gardenia.
Her black hair danced, and under the brim of her cap, her eyes, covered by tactical goggles, sparkled like stars.
She asked Lu Yu, "I'm Luo Qianqiu of the Beast Taming High School Patrol Team, responsible for school security matters.
Quickly, tell me where the mole is. Any later and they'll get away!"
Although her expression was serious, Lu Yu could faintly sense that this person before him seemed a little… excited.
It was as if, while playing house, she had drawn a good role and was eagerly waiting for the game to start.
Lu Yu didn't answer.
Under Luo Qingyue's puzzled gaze, he quickly retreated to create distance, standing with the Little Spider, ready to blink into the Void and escape at a moment's notice, before he questioned her:
“Who exactly are you? Don't even think about lying to me. I've seen the Security Team members, and you're not one of them.
And your name isn't Luo Qianqiu, it's Luo Qingyue, right? What are you really trying to do?”
He was very familiar with the school's Patrol Team. It was the school's armed force, composed of some teachers and official Beast Tamers, responsible for protecting the school's safety, with the minimum rank being peak Silver Beast Tamer.
As the person in charge of the Peach Blossom Forest Cultivation Base, he often had contact with them, and the gatekeeper, Old Qin, was one of his inside contacts, so he was very familiar.
But he had never seen this cool, mature woman before.
Her behavior was strange, and she gave a fake name. She was definitely not a good person.
“How do you know my name?”
Luo Qingyue asked back in shock, then she saw Lu Yu's gaze fixed on her and followed it down.
She found the tag pinned to her chest.
Although it was a bit distorted from being unable to bear the load, the three characters for 【Luo Qingyue】 could be clearly seen.
A silly strand of hair on her head shot straight up, and a blush spread across her face.
It wasn't out of shyness, but the shame of being exposed after trying to act cool with a fake name.
This was so embarrassing.
She actually forgot to tear off the tag!
“No, I really am part of the Patrol Team…”
“Heh heh!”
Luo Qingyue was a little anxious. She hadn't expected the students nowadays to have such strong anti-scam awareness.
While it was commendable, his being too smart made him mistake her for a bad person.
If this dragged on any longer, those criminals would get far away.
This was a major incident she had finally stumbled upon. If she missed it, she didn't know when she'd encounter another.
She took out her ID, but Lu Yu didn't believe it at all.
You could get a stack of those made at any fake ID shop.
Luo Qingyue was helpless. After hesitating repeatedly, she finally took out her phone and opened an app.
This wasn't some secret, but a work clock-in software. It clearly displayed Luo Qingyue's photo, information, and clock-in records.
【May 1st—Missed clock-in: 1】
【May 2nd—Late: 300 minutes】
【May 5th—Missed clock-in: 1】
【…】
【June 7th—Late: 470 minutes】
【…】
【June 23rd—Late: 610 minutes】
The continuous string of red lights made Lu Yu's eyes a little blurry. Whenever it was time for work, she either missed her clock-in or was late.
Are you trying to be a Golden Truant here?
She was even late today, only clocking in when it was almost time to get off work. She probably just started her patrol, which explained why she could arrive so quickly…
However, Lu Yu now believed her words.
After all, he had the same clock-in software, and so much data couldn't be faked all at once.
And since Luo Qingyue was always either skipping work or late, Lu Yu would have already been busy raising pigs during those times.
It was normal not to have seen her.
Most importantly, the other party was a Gold Beast Tamer.
If she really had malicious intent, his only option was to run.
However, from her words just now, he could also extract a lot of useful information.
Her real surname was indeed Luo, and the principal of the Beast Taming High School was also surnamed Luo. It was highly likely they were relatives; otherwise, with her attendance record, even with her official status, she would have been kicked out long ago.
“Ahem, ahem, as a working stiff, it's normal to backstab the capitalists a little… Besides, my main job is an Alliance Intern Investigator and a Mythology Scholar. I have to study late every day, and the Patrol Team's daily tasks are so boring, I'd rather sleep…”
Luo Qingyue coughed twice, trying to save some face, but in the end, she couldn't stand the strange looks from Lu Yu and the Little Spider and changed the subject out of embarrassment and anger:
“Alright, hurry up and tell me where the criminal is?”
Her gun was already itching for a fight!
However, Lu Yu's answer was to point his finger at a large pit next to her.
“Here!”
Luo Qingyue: ???
