Chapter 479 Are You In Any Trouble?

As it spoke, part of a liquid tentacle suddenly broke off from under Voracious’s dog head and bounced a few times on the floor before jumping back to merge with the tentacle again. “Did you see that? To have two symbiotic hosts at the same time is an ability only I am capable of. None of my people can do it.”

Luke narrowed his eyes. “Did you make Selina a symbiotic host because the two of you were very compatible as well?”.

Voracious paused before it replied hesitantly, “No, our compatibility isn’t that high and is only passable, but there’s some kind of energy inside her that suits me very well.”

“Energy?” Luke frowned. “What energy? It’s not fat, is it?”

Voracious said, “It’s not fat. The energy’s from all over her body. I don’t know what it is, but after I made her a symbiotic host, I can absorb this energy from her body, which tastes much better than regular food.”

“So, you didn’t touch the fat in her body and only absorbed that energy?” asked Luke.

Voracious nodded. “That’s right.”

Thinking for a moment, Luke said, “So you’re saying that the energy inside her body is… more delicious?”

Voracious nodded. “That’s right. The energy inside her body is like char siu and suckling pig, and the dog food you feed me is like popcorn.”

Luke turned his head. “You fed Dollar char siu and suckling pig?”

Selina lowered her head in embarrassment. “When I wasn’t paying attention, he grabbed the piece of char siu I was holding… He also nicked the bones of the suckling pig.”

Luke was speechless for a moment, but didn’t pursue the matter and instead continued to interrogate Voracious.

It lasted for almost an hour.

Voracious was already a little impatient to begin with, until Luke took out the leftover char siu and suckling pig from the fridge and placed them on a side table. “If you answer my questions properly, you’ll have good food to eat. If you don’t, you can just eat air. Deal?”

“Deal!” Voracious nodded without any hesitation and its liquid form retreated back into Dollar’s body.

Dollar suddenly spoke in Voracious’s deep voice. “I still need to depend on this dog to eat, but I can help it digest everything, so don’t worry about it getting indigestion.”

Hearing that, Luke couldn’t help but glance at Selina. Were these three fated to be together? Why did they become so lively whenever it came to eating?

After he was done asking questions, Luke put the leftover char siu and suckling pig into Dollar’s food bowl. He pulled Selina to one side and quickly typed a message on his fake phone before he showed it to her.

When she got a good look at the message, Selina pointed at herself doubtfully and mouthed “Me? Ask it again?”

Luke nodded. “In any case, it’s going to be living with us. It won’t hurt to try.”

When Selina thought about it, she realized he was right, and nodded her head in agreement.

The next day, neither Luke nor Selina went to the police department. They just gave Elsa a call and told her that they were working a case.

Luke went out to work the case and to do some shopping. Voracious, as its name suggested, was the best at binge-eating.

After revealing its true form, it brazenly demanded that Luke give it delicious food, and welcomed sweet and salty stuff.

Luke was too lazy to wait upon it. He stuffed all the meat at home into the oven and told Selina to feed the dog once the meat was ready.

Voracious wasn’t picky at all and ate everything happily. In half a day, it emptied the fridge at home of everything edible.

When he got Selina’s call, Luke could only return early and go on a shopping spree at the supermarket.

He smiled bitterly when he was paying; three gluttons at home was really annoying, especially when one of them was an extraterrestrial bottomless pit from another planet.

It was a good thing he had money. Slowly pushing two carts full of ingredients and food, he loaded everything into his car and mulled over getting a freezer for the house, one that was big enough to store a cow at the very least.

Selina hadn’t been able to go out in the last few days.

Luke had entrusted to her the heavy responsibility of teaching Voracious, this alien dog head, basic general knowledge.

That guy had been cautious before, but not cautious enough.

It was unfamiliar with modern technology, and had been easily caught by Luke’s camera.

Secondly, Luke was tempted by the explanation of some of its abilities.

Before he decided what to do with it, he wouldn’t give it to anyone, so he had to ensure that it didn’t expose itself.

Come to think of it, the FBI agents back on the mountain probably hadn’t been searching for a fugitive, but for this alien dog head.

It was understandable that the FBI would be interested in this mysterious alien.

They may not even have been real FBI agents, but more likely members from Wales’s or Flegg’s special branch.

Since his partner was occupied with Voracious and couldn’t get away, Luke had a lot less time to do actual field investigation; most of the time, he could only check things out during his side job at night.

But two days later, Elsa called and summoned him to the police department.

After Luke entered her office, Elsa looked at him and instantly put down her pen. “Have you run into some sort of trouble recently?”

Luke stared blankly. “No?”

Glancing askance at him for a moment, Elsa said, “If you or Selina are in any trouble, you can tell me.”

Luke was even more confused. “Huh?”

Elsa said, “I just hope the both of you are being careful. I haven’t seen her in person for ten days. What do you think that looks like?”

Luke was speechless.

Elsa said, “The two of you are still young, but protection is still necessary. I can turn a blind eye, but what if someone else sees it?”

Luke said, “Boss, thank you for your concern, but you’re overthinking it. Selina’s fine. It’s just that she brought her dog back from her hometown. The dog grew up with her, and he isn’t in very good shape. She’s been spending more time recently taking care of him.”

Elsa was dazed. “Is that so?”

Luke spread his hands. “I’ll tell her to report to you tomorrow, and you can see for yourself.”

Looking at Luke’s face, Elsa realized that she really might have been thinking too much. Coughing in embarrassment, she said, “Okay, I’ve got a job for you.”

Luke acted as if he was all ears.

“Do you remember Margaret, William Johnson’s widow?” asked Elsa.

Luke thought for a moment before he remembered.

William Johnson had been a bigshot gangster as well as a real estate businessman, but he had drawn the attention of Rebecca, a female assassin from the Co-op, and she blew his head off through the sunroof of his car.

She was an extraordinary assassin who almost blew up Luke’s head too.

Luke’s memory of her was too profound.

He nodded and said, “The art student from USC?”

Elsa nodded. “She’s run into some trouble recently. Go and check it out.”

Luke asked, “Is it very troublesome?” For Elsa to send him, it couldn’t be easy to handle.

Elsa sighed. “What else can it be? Someone has an eye on William’s legacy and has targeted her. For now, however, she only suspects that someone’s following her, which isn’t enough for us to officially open a case. So, she came to me.”
