What a seal's smile looks like.

Qiao Qiao hadn't seen it before, but now he knows it.

It's a bit like when I was a child, my uncle next door who was in his thirties and didn't have a girlfriend at home every day, and occasionally helped his mother go downstairs to take out the trash, and the smile that would appear after school.

Embarrassed, harmless, with a little bit of cowardice.

However, in the moment of hearing the seal speak.

Masato Kotokui, Fujiwara Ayano, and Qiao Qiao, all three of them took out their weapons.

Three fox cranes surround Masato Kotokui, who is dressed in hunting clothes.

Fujiwara Ayano didn't have room to unfold her wabow, only Kagura Bell in her hand.

Qiao Qiao was the simplest, with a huge revolver in his hand.

And Asako Asano was protected behind by the trio.

"Wait a minute, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not anything suspicious."

The seal said in alarm, speaking fluent Chinese.

I don't know whether to stay still or get down and surrender.

So it simply lay down on the floor.

The belly is exposed, which is the position of the seal basking in the sun, defenseless.

"Do you have a residence permit?"

Qiao Qiao asked first.

"Residence permit? What is that? ”

The seal tilted his head.

"Sure enough, it's a stowaway."

Qiao Qiao's bullet was loaded, and the seal shivered and shivered when he heard it.

"No, no, except for the Spirit Master, I'm just able to speak, and I won't be human."

Seal hurriedly explained.

"Go on."

Qiao Qiao waved the muzzle of his gun.

After all, he is not a devil, the other party is not hostile, and he will still speak if he is reasonable.

The seal then gave a brief account of its condition.

It was originally just a seal swimming happily in the Arctic Ocean.

My favorite thing to do every day is to go ashore and bask in the sun.

But later, it was injured by the nets of human trappers, found by fishermen, and sent to a local animal rescue agency.

After that, the seals were sent to a research institute in Okinawa to recuperate and perform to please humans.

A few days ago, it was brought to Nagoya, and after a certain performance, it suddenly really awakened to spiritual sense.

“？”

Hearing this, Qiao Qiao suddenly felt very strange.

He looked at his companions, and several of them had some confusion on their faces.

The spiritual consciousness of a yokai is similar to the consciousness of a human being, and it can be understood as the thinking ability of a yokai.

When youkai are still beasts, they are naturally conscious.

But at this time, consciousness is closer to instinct.

Even if you can have a simple communication, you have the concept of "individual", but it is still far from true consciousness.

After spending decades and extending their lifespan by accumulating enough spiritual power, the animal will gradually develop spiritual consciousness.

At this stage, the animal is still the body of the animal, but the brain, or the way of thinking, is close to that of a human.

As for speaking human words and the like, it can also be achieved in some creatures with special body structures.

For example, is it parroting to think that it is really just a repetition of human words?

They are just pretending to be repeaters, practicing speaking.

Animals of this kind are generally called half-demons.

Just like the cherry blossom tree that Qiao Qiao blew up before, he would already use spiritual power to control the resentful spirits to collect more spiritual power for them.

As for whether it can speak, Qiao Qiao is not sure.

It doesn't matter anymore anyway.

After generating spiritual consciousness, animals will begin to consciously accumulate spiritual power, and soon, they will be able to transform into humans.

If the seal has really been passively accumulating spiritual power, it is not a strange thing to awaken in the past few days.

But Qiao Qiao took out the tourist brochure again.

This is an introduction to many of the animals in the aquarium.

He turned to this page of seals.

The Mr. Seal, named Lodge, from near Greenland, was only about five years old, according to the results of the medical examination.

Of course, from a seal's point of view, this age is considered an adult and can begin to breed the next generation.

But from the monster's point of view, five years of awakening spiritual consciousness is really too fast.

Talented?

Qiao Qiao didn't think so.

He thought of Suzuka.

Among the monsters, there are some technologies that can quickly transform animals.

This technique, according to Qiao Qiao's understanding, is very likely to be related to the Jade of the Four Souls.

Although there is no problem with Suzuka's current physical examination, this abnormal way is still easy to leave sequelae.

Thinking of the three monsters he saw at that time, which seemed to be from the old rulers, Qiao Qiao didn't leave a good impression on the Jade of the Four Souls.

And now.

The seals have awakened their spiritual senses in just five years, could it be that the ghosts of those monsters are the ghosts again?

"So, you just awakened your spiritual sense, and you don't know much about the residence permit and the situation of the monsters, so you will continue to stay here?"

Fujiwara shrine maiden asked when she saw that several people were silent.

"If I suddenly spoke to Mr. Keeper, he would be scared, wouldn't he?"

Mr. Seal replied.

"Indeed."

Qiao Qiao nodded, and he glanced in the direction the breeder had left.

According to the investigation of the Soul Killer Association, many modern yokai are mostly produced in wild groups, and they are the next generation of some yokai who have already transformed into shapes.

Animals in the city are rarely able to take shape.

The main reason is that the spiritual power in the city is too thin, and the accumulated spiritual power cannot extend the life of the animals to the age when they can awaken.

Therefore, this seal is able to awaken spiritual consciousness, which is very special.

It needs to be taken seriously.

"In other words, after the general monster awakens its spiritual sense, it will run away, why are you still willing to stay here."

Masato Kotokui looked at this honest seal.

Awakened to the spiritual sense, the animal has become a half-demon, naturally there is some self-awareness, self-esteem, etc., most of them are unwilling to be raised by humans, but this seal looks very comfortable.

"I'm here, I'm fed at regular intervals every day, there is a place to sleep and play, and I heard that after I heard that the mother seal will be arranged to give birth to a baby seal for me, as a price, I just go out to perform for ten minutes every day, and I can rest for two days a week, why should I run away?"

Mr. Seal said blankly.

His words left Masato Kotokui speechless.

"Makes sense."

Qiao Qiao said.

In the current world, human beings may not have an easy life as this seal.

"But the existence still has to be registered with the Soul Killer Association, Asano Shrine Maiden, I'm tired of informing the association."

Ariko Asano, who is in charge of liaising with the Nagoya Soul Killer Association, nodded, picked up her phone, and called the headquarters.

"By the way, before and after awakening the spiritual sense, did you encounter any special monsters, or humans?"

While waiting for the support to come, Qiao Qiao asked casually again.

"Well, yes."

Mr. Seal replied.

"There's someone talking to me."
