The stunning young woman let the beef in her hand slip away and struggled to lift the dog. "It's so pitiful! Can you please help me... help me take it to the hospital?"
Her face was filled with anxiety, fully aware that no one would lend a hand in such matters, considering it dirty.
While others might recoil, she did not share their disdain. It was in these moments that her kindness shone through.
Indeed, as people around saw the dirty stray dog, hesitation clouded their thoughts, some even took a step back.
What if it's a rabid dog?
What if it suddenly bit them? Who would take responsibility then?
The "kind-hearted" girl was now desperate and in tears. "I'm begging you! Please, help me... It's too heavy for me to carry..."
She strained to lift the dog, her efforts were visible, as the dirty creature rubbed against her clothes and face, but she paid no mind.
That's precisely the effect she wanted.
Passersby shook their heads and said, "Ah, young girl, let it go! This dog is too filthy and won't make it anyway."
"Yes, indeed. You're just too kind."
The girl lowered her gaze, concealing a trace of satisfaction in her eyes.
Instead of letting go, she intensified her act, portraying her distress as if her world had collapsed.
Just then, a soft, innocent voice broke the scene. "This sister's acting seems a bit fake."
Another child's voice followed but with a touch of indifference. "Hmph, ridiculous."
The beautiful girl was fully engrossed in her performance, deeply immersed in her role.
Out of the blue, two contrasting voices rang out, clearly out of place in the surroundings. She froze for a moment and looked up.
And at that moment, she laid eyes on Blake, momentarily stupefied, forgetting about her predicament.
Blake crossed his arms and spoke in a nonchalant tone, "Be careful..."
Instantly, the stunning girl blushed, flustered, and nervously flicked her hair, overwhelmed with excitement!
A handsome guy! A super handsome guy! Even more charismatic than Jonas, the golden boy of film!
And this incredibly handsome guy was concerned about her!
"I... I'm okay," the girl immediately showcased her vulnerability and helplessness. "It's just too heavy for me to lift. Mister, could you please help me? The dog is so pitiful, and I want to take it to the hospital... It might be too late if we wait any longer..."
Initially, she had only planned to put on a slight act to demonstrate her vulnerability and then take the dog to the veterinary hospital.
But now... now she truly couldn't "lift it" anymore, anxiously looking at Blake.
Blake's eyes revealed a hint of mockery, "I meant to be careful because if you exert a little more force, your act will be exposed."
The stunning girl remained silent.
Lilly stared at the beautiful girl, drawing a parallel, "Master, she also has an aura on her head, could it be another malignant spirit that has escaped?"
Pausing for a moment, she continued, "It's the same aura as the one from earlier."
Pablo looked at the beautiful girl, "A fresh aura... it seems like it hasn't escaped but rather, has possessed two people?"
Lilly suddenly looked at a frail man in the crowd, sensing the same aura on his head.
She whispered, "Master, is it possible that there's a hive here?"
Pablo narrowed his eyes, "Very likely."
Setting aside the details for now, it was evident that the girl before them and the frail man pretending to be a bystander in the crowd were undoubtedly in cahoots.
Lilly understood it all now.
On their way to the veterinary hospital, Master had mentioned that the malignant spirit on the uncle's head was called the "hypocrite ghost."
Curious, she had asked her father what "hypocrite" meant, and he explained - it meant pretending to be good while hiding ulterior motives.
So this sister was also a hypocrite.
Lilly wasted no time in exposing her true nature. "You know that time is running out, yet why do you continue to dawdle?" she bluntly questioned.
Approaching the dog, she gently stroked its head and remarked, "It's so skinny that Gracie could lift it with one hand, right Gracie?"
