Chapitre 156: 3.59 - Good Night - Downfall of Humanity

"Don't forget to return Kuro to me tomorrow. In case you don't want it to see something, cover it with a towel. Ah, I forgot something."

Bing Shi went inside again and returned with a squished mouse plushie, "Kuro's toy. Do you know the saying? Who needs love when you have a dog? In my case, a snake. Thank you for revealing information about Sharkie," she patted Kuro's head and waved at the stunned Ziek, "Good night."

As the door closed, Ziek was left standing there, still holding the snake and the plushie, "..." His mind was a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel a strange mixture of confusion, amusement, and something else he couldn't quite put into words.

"What a hell of a night," he muttered to himself, his lips curving into a small smile. He turned and walked away from Bing Shi's tent, feeling a bit lighter than before.
