That night, Yun Jian did not have time to find the hiding place of the super-powered criminal gang - the group of people had already rushed out to find him impatiently.

He had just been out for a short time and had just driven away a hellhound when he heard the roar of a stray dog ​​in a remote area on the outskirts of the city.

[It's not a hellhound, it should be an ordinary dog.]

Cat Toy didn't feel the breath of Hell's Gate and shook his head firmly.

Yun Jian didn't want to pay any attention to it at first, but the dog's barking became more and more miserable, sounding like it was in some desperate situation. In addition, the second hellhound had not appeared yet, so there was nothing to worry about for the time being, so he followed the sound and went over there.

"Maybe he accidentally fell into the ventilation shaft?" he guessed. "I saw on the Internet that many cats and dogs fall into places like that."

Yun Jian jumped to the roof of a nearby building and looked down. He did not see the ventilation shaft, but only a group of people surrounding a puppy in an iron cage, hitting it hard with electric batons, and chatting and laughing as they did so.

The puppy whimpered and looked like it was dying.

"Didn't they say that a dog would attract the cat demon? Why is there no movement yet?"

"It must be because I didn't yell loud enough," another person spat, "I told you to bring a big dog, but you brought a puppy instead. There's no way you can call the cat demon over with this!"

...

...

"Then fight again! If all else fails, download an audio clip of a dog barking on your phone," the leader shouted, "This damn cat demon is meddling in other people's business, ruining our fortune and causing us to be wanted. I will never leave Sufang City until I skin it alive, extract its tendons, and then cut out its demon pill!"

The cat's ears moved and Yun Jian touched his chin thoughtfully.

"This group of people came for me."

[Who cares who they are after? They are abusing the puppy!]

Cat Toy's voice was shaking with anger.

[What a bunch of crazy people! If it were the Cat God, the Cat God would definitely skin them all and throw them into mushroom soup!]

Yun Jian was a little surprised to hear the cat toy's protection of the dog in his words. He obviously didn't expect that the cat toy, whose job was to drive away hellhounds, would like canines. But now was not the time to discuss this matter. He took a deep breath, suddenly jumped down, and landed lightly on the ground. Before the group of people could react, his claws had already hooked on the iron cage railings, and he lifted the cage door directly, then jumped back to the treetops, and jumped back to the high building in a few jumps.

The superpower who had already set up countless traps all over the street was dumbfounded: "..."

No way! Why did this guy snatch the dog and run away?

Isn't the cat demon specialized in killing dogs?

…

"Your identity has been exposed."

"I know," Yun Jian scratched his ear in annoyance. He had just said one sentence when he suddenly realized that the person he was chatting with was not the cat toy. He was so shocked that he quickly turned around and blocked the pitiful puppy behind him, "Who are you?!"

At the top of the forty-eight-story building, a man in a black special forces uniform smiled and extended his right hand to Yun Jian: "Hello, I am Tang Aibai, the captain of the Nangong team of the Twenty-Eight Mansions of China."

The man was about 20 or 30 years old, with short hair, a lively look, and an angular face that looked a bit cold. However, when he smiled, his dimples appeared, which neutralized his knife-like sharpness.

All in all, it is the kind of image that makes people feel particularly at ease at first glance.

"What are the twenty-eight constellations?" Yun Jian asked puzzledly.

Tang Aibai's expression did not change.

When analyzing Li Hua's behavior earlier, they had already guessed that Yun Jian knew nothing about the world of super powers and was most likely just a naive boy who was not afraid of tigers. Otherwise, how could he appear under surveillance so carelessly and even throw the captured super-powered criminal into the police station.

"The Twenty-Eight Mansions is our country's official superpower army, responsible for handling superpower-related matters at home and abroad, guiding and restraining newly emerged superpowered people, and combating superpowered crimes."

After a brief explanation, Tang Aibai lowered his head and looked down. Yun Jian followed his gaze towards the road and saw that the group of people who had been arrogantly abusing the puppy just now had been tied up tightly with ropes, their wrists cuffed with silver-white handcuffs, and they were huddled in front of two other people in black uniforms.

"Those are the two members of the Nangong team," seeing Yun Jian's curiosity, Tang Aibai introduced, "The one wearing glasses is Peng Hua, his ability is spontaneous birth, and the one with a high ponytail is Qiao Liang, her ability is spatial reorganization."

Yun Jian nodded.

Hearing that one of the duties of the Twenty-Eight Mansions was to restrain those with super powers, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and even subconsciously put his hands behind his back, fearing that Tang Aibai would handcuff him the next second.

Tang Aibai noticed Yun Jian's little move and wanted to laugh. He coughed a few times to hold back his laughter, and his voice became gentler: "You haven't avoided the surveillance video in your recent nighttime actions, nor have you tried to avoid pedestrians. Someone has noticed your presence a long time ago, but they were just watching. It wasn't until you ruined the fire controller's plan yesterday that they linked you to the authorities and are ready to take action against you."

"Someone with ulterior motives?" Yun Jian was keenly aware of the key point of this sentence. "Are there many superpower criminals like the Fire Controller?"

When it comes to business, Tang Aibai's face becomes serious.

"In fact, they often gather in the form of sects," he said, his tone slightly solemn, "Superpowers have many ways to hide, and even we find it difficult to track them."

[A sect? I know that!]

The cat toy, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, suddenly heard a familiar term, and immediately shook its fur and stood up proudly.

[In the past, the Cat God incarnated and went to the human world to attack a sect called Biluo Huangquan. Those people were crazy and said they believed in the Son of Satan. They tried to destroy the whole world with a blood array. Later, they were protected by my God and only half of Sufang City was blown up.]

Wait, so the great earthquake in Sufang more than fifty years ago was actually caused by this group of evil cultists?

Yun Jian's pupils dilated, and his worldview was completely changed by the news about the cat toys. Tang Aibai, who was standing next to him, thought that he was worried about being targeted, so he patted his shoulder and whispered to comfort him.

"The Twenty-Eight Mansions will strengthen their night patrols recently to ensure the safety of the Mansion as much as possible. Also, regarding those super dogs suspected of rabies that you deal with every night—"

"They're not super dogs, they're called hellhounds."

Yun Jian didn't mind sharing the news with the authorities. He asked Cat Toy and got the reply "Just don't mention the existence of Cat God and me, everything else is fine. Maybe these people can help us eliminate a few more hellhounds." Then he started to talk incessantly.

Coming from hell, sneaking through the gates of hell, and able to infect ordinary dogs... Tang Aibai's expression became more and more serious. When Yun Jian finished speaking, his eyebrows were already tightly furrowed: "Since hellhounds can infect dogs in the human world, if they bite people, is there also a risk of infection?"

After receiving Yun Jian's affirmative answer, he anxiously turned around a few times.

Although his qualities as the captain of the Nangong team of the 28 Mansions made him always somewhat skeptical about the one-sided statements without evidence, looking at the innocent and cute big eyes of the Lihua cat, Tang Aibai had already believed most of it in his heart, and his evaluation of Yun Jian also changed from "a cat demon close to humans" to "a malleable talent with a sense of justice". Therefore, he decisively abandoned the rule of having to go through a lot of discussions within the team before absorbing newcomers, and directly extended an olive branch to Yun Jian: "Perhaps you would like to know more about the 28 Mansions? As an official superpower organization, we are responsible for maintaining the country's peace and stable development at the superpower level. We conduct comprehensive analysis of the physical qualities and abilities of new superpowers, focus on training and equip them with special weapons. The welfare benefits and retirement policies are also very generous."

Yun Jian laughed dryly twice and took a step back silently: "No, I can't."

It was a good idea and he was tempted, but he was just an assumed employee and would certainly not be able to be on call at any time. If he rashly joined such a strictly disciplined organization, he would be exposed in minutes.

He was secretly on guard, ready for Tang Aibai to turn against him and take him away, but he didn't expect the latter to just smile helplessly, spread his hands, took out a dark black communicator with the Twenty-Eight Mansions logo from the pocket on his uniform waist, and handed it to Yun Jian.

"It's your first time in the human world, and you've encountered so many people with esper powers with ill intentions. It's a good thing to be on guard. In any case, if there are still sects setting traps to hunt you down, or if you encounter difficult situations, you can always call us."

"Don't worry about your whereabouts being exposed. Although non-Twenty-Eight Mansions members cannot share confidential information and hidden camera locations, we will instruct the relevant departments to erase your presence from satellite and street videos. However, you still have to be careful if someone is following you and don't get caught in the siege of the sect."

"Of course, if there are still hellhounds crossing the gates of hell to the human world in the future, threatening the safety of the people of the constellation, the Twenty-Eight Constellations will not stand idly by."

After he said this, he raised his right hand and saluted Yun Jian, blinked his eyes mischievously, and suddenly jumped off the tall building. Without any unnecessary movements, his whole body was wrapped in a blue bubble, and he landed lightly on the ground and returned to his companions.

After a while, he climbed back to the top floor along the ventilation duct with his bare hands, smiled awkwardly at Yun Jian, squatted down, carefully picked up the bruised and battered puppy in the iron cage, took off his uniform jacket and held the puppy in his arms, then jumped back up.

[If you expel enough hellhounds, or find another fragment of the cat god's soul, and have enough mental strength, you can control two bodies at the same time without leaving any trace.]

Seeing Yun Jian staring at Tang Aibai's back as he escorted the prisoner away, with his cat ears folded into airplane ears, the cat toy couldn't help but speak.

"I was just thinking," Yun Jian shrugged, "If I had agreed to him just now, would I also be considered a civil servant?"

Skip the college entrance exam, postgraduate entrance exam, civil service exam and other tiring steps, and go directly to the end of the universe! What a tempting option!

[……]

Cat toys are speechless.

Yun Jian just said it casually and quickly put the matter behind him. He put the Twenty-Eight Mansions communicator into his pocket with great care, took off and jumped nimbly to the top of another tall building, and followed the guidance of the cat toy to find the next hellhound that broke into the human world.

The author has something to say:

Tang Aibai: I want to leave a graceful back view! It highlights my strength and mystery!

(The next second) Wait, I think I forgot about the puppy? It seems unreliable to let the cat demon take care of the puppies! Ah, I better go back (and secretly feel depressed that my perfect image has been damaged).
