Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 489 Birth of Gold Nugget and Selina’s Appearance

Voracious didn’t think it was a big deal. “You’re not happy you can have so much delicious food? From the women I see in your memories, if they knew I can absorb their fat, they would come crying for me to combine with them.”

Selina snorted. “Even if you were sh*t, they would eat you as long as they can lose weight and be beautiful… though hm, they would probably do it on the sly.”

Voracious was unhappy. “Apologize!”

Selina yielded. “I’m sorry. I’m not saying that you’re sh*t. It’s just that women care far more about their looks than you can imagine.”

Voracious nodded as if it was deep in thought. “Like how when we transformed into the complete form, the first thing you thought of wasn’t your strength, but your hair?”

Selina replied matter-of-factly, “Unless they like the bald style, there are few women who don’t care about their hair!”

Voracious said, “Fine, I have a rough idea how you women think now. Sigh, if only Luke was as simple as you.”

Selina didn’t feel surprised. “What are you thinking? If he was as simple as me, he would be dead already.”

Voracious suddenly felt that it wasn’t on the same wavelength as Selina.

She was really too wishy-washy and biased when it came to Luke.

But when Voracious remembered how Luke favored and even pampered Selina, it was jealous.

Damn it! Selina hadn’t even been lectured when she did something wrong, while Voracious only had a little bit of that delicious energy and was blown up by some other weird energy for it.

Voracious hadn’t even known that the connection could be forcibly cut off like that.

Not just that, it had also sensed that the energy which had sent it flying was already very restrained; otherwise, part of Voracious’s body would’ve been instantly destroyed.

That scary energy actually came from a human; that didn’t fit the view of the world that was in Selina’s head.

Forget it. The alien dog head thought, with such a powerful guy to cover it, it could safely familiarize itself with the environment. Once it knew everything there was to know about this world, it could then stealthily slip away.

But another thought immediately popped up: There was good food here which it didn’t have to go through the trouble of finding itself, while there were a lot of researchers in white coats outside who would love to cut open an alien life form. Going out was risky and unrewarding. Why would it want to leave?

The two ideas warred with each other for a moment in Voracious’s head. In the end, it firmly decided: No more thinking; it would just carry on like this for now. It had only been here for a few days; it would just treat it like a vacation.

Thinking that, it gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Luke was making breakfast when Selina and the dog both woke up.

Giving dog food soaked in goat’s milk to Dollar for breakfast, he asked Selina, who came over, “Why did you get up so early?”

Depressed, Selina clutched her belly. “I was hungry.” Luke glanced at Dollar. “The side effect from that guy?”

A golden dog head floated above Dollar’s back. “Hey, can’t you use my name?” Giving Selina a slice of the cake that he had just made, Luke said, “Your name is special and will easily draw attention. How about we give you a codename?” Voracious: “Really? If that’s the case, I want a nice-sounding one.”

Luke: “What about Golden Dog?”

Voracious quickly shook its head. “I’m not a dog.”

Luke thought for a moment. “What about Gold Nugget?”

Voracious hesitated. “That doesn’t sound very impressive either.”

Luke said, “Selina and I have a gold mine, so it won’t be suspicious if we talk about gold nuggets.”

Voracious looked at Selina. “Really?”

She nodded in agreement. “Yes, we do have a gold mine, and everybody on this planet loves gold. You look like a gold nugget too.”

Voracious thought it was fine. “Okay, my codename will be Gold Nugget then.”

Luke nodded with a smile. “Okay, Gold Nugget.”

He was chuckling inwardly.

Gold nuggets were called by another name in Chinese — “dog-head gold.”

So, it was a fitting name for Voracious, an alien dog head.

After breakfast, they left for the police department.

Selina said helplessly, “I’m going to walk in eating, just like that?”

Luke was even more helpless. “You’ve been gone for two weeks. If you don’t show up today, Elsa will think that you want to quit.”

Quit because you’re pregnant, Luke secretly added in his heart.

“So, show Elsa your face today, then we’ll go out and investigate cases,” he said.

Selina nodded.

Dollar whined.

Luke said, “Stay in the car. We’ll be back soon.”

Dollar fell silent.

Naturally, it was the newly minted Gold Nugget expressing its dissatisfaction.

But the alien dog head had learned its lesson and now only communicated with snuffling and its expressions. It was determined not to break the rules again.

It could only have goat’s milk and dog food for today. Life on Earth was really hard!

In Elsa’s office, Luke didn’t say anything and just let Selina do the greetings.

Elsa talked to Selina and observed her for a moment. She didn’t notice anything unusual.

It was just that Selina would touch her belly every now and then. Else couldn’t help being suspicious, and looked at Luke.

Luke rolled his eyes. “We rushed over before we had breakfast for you to see for yourself.”

As he spoke, Selina’s stomach growled. Laughing a little, she went over to the side and took out some cake. Placing a slice on Elsa’s table, she moved aside and had a piece herself.

Only then did Elsa’s suspicious gaze clear up, and she asked about Margaret.

Luke closed the office door and then told her what happened the previous day. In the end, he said, “Boss, don’t worry too much about Margaret. Her cousin Haley is pretty shrewd.” Elsa was curious. “Is there anything special about her?”

Pondering a moment, Luke said, “If I’m guessing right, she was the one who hired that guy on the motorboat yesterday who intercepted their pursuers. He’s ballsy and pretty good.” Frowning, Elsa thought for a moment. “A private detective?”.

Luke shook his head. “He himself claims he’s the best hitman. He feels more like a gun for hire.”

Els’s brow furrowed even more tightly.

Compared with private detectives who hovered around the gray area of the law, few mercenaries were clean.

Elsa found it disturbing that Margaret’s cousin had found such a person.

Police detectives usually dealt with regular criminals and weren’t good at dealing with mercenaries.

Or rather, it wasn’t too hard for mercenaries to deal with police detectives. There was a huge gap in their professional requirements.

Fortunately, this shouldn’t be something for Luke to be scared of.

But after thinking for a moment, Elsa still shook her head. “I’ll contact Margaret later. If her cousin wants to resolve things her own way, you won’t have to get involved anymore.”
