Bai Tianxiong released the contracted female ghost, which possessed the cat girl's body, causing her limbs to twist and deform, thus achieving a destructive effect.
He thus triggered the rules of death and was enveloped by the power of those rules.
If it were an ordinary person, they would instantly explode and die.
But a grayish-white, semi-transparent figure appeared on his body, taking the tearing force of the rules for him.
Guo Sheng's eyes gleamed with interest. "Your Bai family actually has such methods?"
The Bureau of Mysterious Affairs has a good understanding of the backgrounds of various ancient families, but they were unaware that the Bai family had a way to defy the power of the rules.
"It's not a method of the Bai family, but a special and strange one that I accidentally contracted, which can help me resist the power of the rules once."
Bai Tianxiong was somewhat reluctant; this strange ability could only be used once, essentially a one-time chance to save his life. If he couldn't form a contract with the catgirl, the loss would be too great.
"Make a contract with me, or you will die."
In order to force the catgirl, his methods became increasingly violent.
All that could be heard was a series of cracking sounds as the catgirl's bones broke from the inside out.
"ah!"
The kitten girl screamed and struggled frantically, but it was controlled by the female ghost and could not move.
"Let it go!"
Xia Tianqiong clenched his fists, wanting to kill these three people right now.
But I can't do that. Everyone here is a cat person, and making a move would trigger the death rule.
He doesn't have the means to resist the power of the rules like Bai Tianxiong.
Guo Sheng turned his gaze to him, "Mr. Xia, let him give it a try, since you can't make a contract anyway."
“I can’t form a contract with it, but you can’t treat it like this. This is, after all, the Cat Demon’s domain. If you kill the clone and trigger some rules, it could cause a lot of trouble.”
The more powerful the supernatural entity, the more numerous and bizarre the rules of death it controls. Especially for supernatural entities that possess a supernatural domain, one must be extremely careful.
The information Xia Tianqiong possesses comes from her previous life and may not be complete. Perhaps something she does will trigger some kind of rule.
Guo Sheng thought what he said made sense, and looked at Bai Tianxiong, "Be careful, don't kill it."
Bai Tianxiong frowned slightly and said with a wry smile, "Section Chief Guo, don't say it out loud. If you say it out loud, how am I supposed to force it to form a contract with me?"
Unless threatened with death, the supernatural will generally not make a pact with humans.
As he spoke, he was inwardly giving orders to the female ghost, instructing it to be even more ruthless towards the kitten girl.
"Be careful, don't kill it."
Xia Tianqiong watched as the catgirl's body twisted and deformed, her screams gradually weakening, and she stopped struggling.
Bai Tianxiong, however, did not take it seriously. "The strange body is formed by the power of the underworld. It is not a flesh and blood body. It just looks like one. This injury will only cause it to lose the power of the underworld. It will not die."
"It is only the weakest of the many incarnations of the cat demon, and may not be the same as ordinary monsters."
"Impossible, believe me, I have a lot of experience in this area."
Bai Tianxiong spoke confidently, but Guo Sheng and Liu Ya's expressions suddenly changed.
"The power of the netherworld is rapidly dissipating; it seems to be dead!"
As Liu Ya spoke, the enormous cat's eyes in the sky suddenly turned blood red, staring intently at the people in the courtyard, their anger palpable.
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
Cat meows echoed throughout the ancient town at the same time, followed by the eerie voice of a cat demon from the sky.
"Game reset. All cats go catch these three mice, kill them, and the game ends."
As the sound appeared, three huge phantom images were projected onto the red sky. Upon closer inspection, they were the images of Xia Tianqiong, Guo Sheng, and Bai Tianxiong.
The three of them had contact with the cat girl, and the cat demon believed they were all the murderers.
At the same time, the three of them underwent a change; they were originally cats, but instantly turned into mice.
Within the mysterious realm, all the other rat-men transformed into cat-men at the same time.
In other words, only the three of them are rat people now, and the rest are all cat people.
The rules of the game changed, and the people hiding in various corners cheered. If they could kill those three, everyone else could leave the game alive.
This is a good thing for them.
Bai Tianxiong stood there stunned, walked over to the cat girl and looked at her. "I didn't expect it to be killed so easily, and I didn't expect it to trigger the rules."
Guo Sheng glared at him, his face extremely ugly. "Ordinary cat people are fine, but if those two hundred or so cat demon clones were to hunt us down, we might not be able to stop them."
These clones vary in strength, but the key issue is their sheer number. There are only three ratmen among them, making them extremely dangerous.
Bai Tianxiong paused for a moment, then said, "We can kill ordinary cat people and turn into cats. As long as there are no rat people, the game might end."
"The rules of the game have changed, and the previous rules may no longer be valid."
Xia Tianqiong looked at Bai Tianxiong with disgust. "I've already made it very clear that if you kill the three of us ratmen, the game will end, and there's no time limit."
In other words, this is the last round. Even if you kill the cat-man, you won't advance to the next round, nor will you become a cat.
"What should we do then?"
Liu Ya was still a cat-person at this time, so she wasn't in any danger. "Aren't there more than two hundred strange clones? If we can form a contract with one, we might have a chance."
Bai Tianxiong quickly agreed, "That's right, let's try capturing other clones. Mr. Xia, if you have any other information, please share it. We can have more opportunities if we all brainstorm together."
Xia Tianqiong frowned and remained silent. Now that the rules had changed, he didn't know what to do.
This situation did not occur in the previous life, so there was no way to deal with it.
