"...My name is Xiaolv,"
A faint, indistinct voice, one that seemed ready to melt into the night at any moment, sounded from the terrarium Carter held in his hand.
Fu Tailan couldn't see the tiny resident clinging to the glass wall clearly enough to tell if it was actually green.
"Now, I'll explain my ability and how to use it..."
Hiding behind the car, Fu Tailan held his breath and strained his ears, wishing he could just grab his heart and make it stop pounding for a moment.
"My ability is... as long as you... you can..."
Wonderful. He hadn't heard a single word of the crucial part.
Xiaolv's voice was so low that even Carter had to press his ear to the terrarium. As he listened, he constantly scanned the dark street.
After a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud. "Incredible. Even at 1/30th, it's still incredible. I knew I made the right choice."
'Aren't residents usually loudmouthed? What's Xiaolv so shy about?'
