Although they uttered harsh words and yelled a few words to vent their anger, the Nangong team's strength was still there. Their combat boots landed silently on the ground, and they moved so fast that they almost left an afterimage, and they quickly approached the Longcheng Fishing Village.

At this time, only Tang Aibai and Qiao Liang were still standing on the road. Peng Hua was controlling the nearby plants and was buried in the knee-high mottled weeds. Bo Zao was carrying a huge rocket launcher and leaning behind a rock, aiming attentively.

Li Hua was squatting on the top of a tall locust tree at the entrance of the village, listening attentively to the noises coming from the village.

There was silence for about half a minute, and no one appeared.

Tang Aibai strode forward: "Bo Zao, Peng Hua, follow. Li Hua, Qiao Liang, wait at the entrance of the village and act according to circumstances."

In the super-power world with many forbidden formations, it is very dangerous to enter the territory of super-powered people at will. Li Hua hesitated for a moment and wanted to stop Tang Aibai, but he knew that he must have had some plans in his mind, so he finally shut up obediently and lay on the treetop looking down worriedly.

Just as I passed the village monument, I suddenly heard the roar of a mad dog.

Countless dogs with bared teeth jumped out from the criss-crossing muddy roads in the village, from the abandoned courtyards where broken oars from old boats were piled, and even from the wide-open windows and doors of several nearby villagers' houses, rushing towards them with a whimpering sound.

At first glance, there were hundreds of dogs, even more than the population of the fishing village. They were of different breeds and appearances. Li Hua even saw a meteorite-colored Border Collie and two barking Teddy dogs. But they were similar in some ways that made people shudder—red eyes, saliva at the corners of their mouths, vicious and chaotic eyes, and mottled, rotten, and even faintly smelly wounds all over their bodies.

Tang Aibai's bomb bubble has already flown out, and Bo Zao also started firing at the mad dogs rushing towards him with his weapon. Li Hua stood on tiptoe to look at the village, trying to find any traces of people among the many mad dogs.

...

...

Cat Toy was so angry that even the scream in Lihua's mind was broken.

[How! Dare! They!?!]

[Doing this to an innocent puppy! Do they want to bear the wrath of the Cat God!!!]

Li Hua was dizzy from the shouting, and rubbed his temples with his fingers. Although he didn't understand why the cat god would care about the dog's affairs, now was not a good time to ask questions. He jumped down from the treetop, tapped the ground with his toes, and suddenly bounced up. He picked up the skin of a small dog by the scruff of its neck, took out a water gun, and sprayed two tubes of holy water on its face.

His original intention was to try whether the holy water could restore the infected puppy's consciousness, but he never expected that the poor dog would howl miserably, its four paws twitched a few times, and it died with its body stiff.

Li Hua's already heavy mood became even more depressing.

The cat toy that was screaming in his mind paused instead.

[Don't try. Holy water is useless. On the contrary, it will only increase their suffering. The erosion of the demons of hell is irreversible. Once infected, one can only live in a daze. From then on, one will be trapped in purgatory for eternity, but will have an immortal body. Even death is a luxury that cannot be obtained.]

Its tone was too calm, and its wording was more like retelling someone else's words in memory than speaking from the heart. Li Hua sensed this sense of dislocation and had some guesses in his mind, but he kept silent. He pursed his lips and changed the subject: "Although these infected dogs are a bit difficult to deal with after being strengthened, they do not have the ability to revive. Captain Tang and his men will be able to escape quickly. You search for people hiding in the village first, and I'll go in and take a look at the situation."

He quickly jumped over the encirclement of infected dogs and rushed into the village.

The layout of the village is no different from that of an ordinary fishing village. The village is built around the port. Next to the dilapidated wooden port is a statue of Mazu. There are many offerings on the stone platform in front of the statue, and the incense sticks are still burning slowly. It is obvious that someone had worshiped here not long ago.

Li Hua stared at the statue of Mazu for a moment.

After entering the Twenty-Eight Mansions, he had seen many exquisite disguises and sleight of hand. This level of disguises could not deceive him any more. The cat's tail suddenly swept towards the statue, splitting it across the air. The statue of Mazu shattered into powder, and the offerings such as the pig's head and rice also disappeared completely. Only an inverted cross was left on the empty ground, and the rope hanging on it still had fresh blood and flesh residues.

Li Hua's gaze lingered on the cloth next to the rope for a few seconds, recalling the dark thread that was under mind control that he had just seen.

[Don't be distracted, chase them! They must be going underground!]

Cat toys urged.

He kicked the cross over, and a deep tunnel appeared inside. Li Hua took out a flare from his sleeve, transmitted his location information to others, and then hurriedly jumped into the bottomless tunnel.

The cat's excellent night vision allows him to easily see everything in the tunnel.

Although he really hoped that he couldn't see them - earthworms, cockroaches, half a rotten fish head, these messy things with strange smells, both Yun Jian's body and the instinct of a kitten were not interested in these dirty things.

After bending forward for about three or two minutes, he finally emerged from the narrow tunnel and walked into a wide stone cave. Li Hua breathed a sigh of relief and looked around for traces of the enemy.

A salty smell came along with a raging heat wave.

When he was thrown against the stone wall by the violent impact, Li Hua only had time to see the black shadow's dark hairy ears on top of his head.

[Hurry up and find a chance to run!]

Cat Toy said anxiously.

[This isn’t the hellhound projected onto the human world—that bunch of psychos connected hell and the human world! He brought the hellhound’s clone from hell right here in its original form!]

There was only a hellhound behind the tunnel, and no superpowers were seen. Li Hua realized that he had fallen into a trap. He smiled bitterly, endured the piercing pain in his abdomen, jumped to the top of the cave, and took a deep breath: "Fortunately, the connection between me and my main body is broken."

The connection maintained between mental powers includes empathy. Even if the pain should have been alleviated a lot when it was transmitted to the main body, it would still delay the class, not to mention the crispy ragdoll cat who couldn't stand the pain.

Ordinary super weapons couldn't even break the hellhound's skin, so Li Hua decisively gave up the fire bombardment, popped out his fingertips' sharp claws, and while carefully defending himself, he moved towards the tunnel at the exit.

The hellhound pounced again, its sharp teeth gnashing at an incredibly fast speed, as if it could touch Lihua's fragile skin in the next second.

Cat Toy's scream was choked in his throat, and the choked sound was already somewhat desperate.

Li Hua decisively pulled out the water gun from his waist, and without even having time to spray the water, he threw the whole thing into the hellhound's mouth.

The sharp canine teeth cut through the plastic shell that stored water, and the holy water flowed smoothly into the hellhound's belly.

The hellhound was stunned for a moment, and there was nothing unusual about its body, as if it had no reaction to the holy water.

Li Hua's heart sank.

He had been forced into a corner by the hellhound, with nowhere to run. His strength was suppressed by the hellhound, leaving him with almost no room for resistance.

Just when Li Hua was preparing to fight to the death, the hellhound that had been standing there in a daze moved again.

A hint of blue light flashed in its scarlet eyes, and it seemed to have a little more clarity. Its gaze fell on the fluffy cat ears of the tabby cat, which were so nervous that they were folded into airplane ears. It slowly lowered its head, and under Li Hua's vigilant gaze, it gently rubbed the cat ears and let out a muffled whimper from its throat.

Drops of scalding water suddenly fell on Lihua's head.

Li Hua looked up in doubt, but did not see the hellhound's expression - its body turned into smoke and dissipated, leaving only a few wisps of white light floating on Li Hua's fingertips, slowly merging into his body.

"Is this also the spiritual power of the Cat God?" Feeling the huge force surging into his body, Li Hua subconsciously pinched his fingertips, hissed in pain, and was immediately shocked at how much his strength had increased.

[No. This is the power of the Hellhound himself. He purified this power and gave it to you.]

Cat Toy's voice was filled with shock. It was not because the hellhound had transferred power into the ionized body, but because of the bottle of holy water.

[It’s impossible. The Cat God has clearly confirmed that the holy water will not restore his sanity! Absolutely not… Why…]

Li Hua didn't bother to listen to Cat Toy's chattering. He squatted down, stretched out his hand into the void, and pulled out a silver-white metal sheet from the place where the hellhound had just disappeared.

"The fragment of the Cat God's body." He attached the metal piece to the Cat Island tattoo on his wrist and watched the metal piece gradually merge into his body. He lowered his eyes and endured the subtle tingling feeling of the gradually growing power. "There is no time to think so much. Let's go. Maybe the group of people are not far away."

…

The other side.

After destroying the swarm of crazy dogs, Tang Aibai looked up and saw the signal flares fired by Li Hua. He immediately led his team to rush over there.

Unexpectedly, when he was halfway through his run, he was stopped by a group of people wearing black hoods. The leader said nothing and chopped at him with a bloody kitchen knife in his hand.

The movements were awkward and difficult. A battle-hardened soldier like Tang Aibai could see countless flaws at a glance, but he did not feel fortunate. Instead, his eyebrows jumped. He subdued the man in front of him in a few moves and suddenly lifted his hood.

Beneath it was revealed the simple and honest face of a fisherman, his eyes were distracted and blank.

Tang Aibai stood up and looked at the dozens of hooded guys who were surrounding him fearlessly.

Apparently, like their secret agents, these innocent villagers were also controlled by the psychic powers.

The author has something to say:

Ahhhh finally finished coding!

The tone of these two chapters is a bit depressing, mainly because the foreshadowing related to the big boss and the main line must be explained clearly. After passing this copy, I will return to my hometown and continue to be so cute (can't wait)!

Today or tomorrow, the next little cutie will come out! This one is also a good cub of the Twenty-Eight Mansions!
