In the deepest prison room of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, a ragdoll cat lay quietly on the ground.
His eyes were tightly closed, his beautiful hair had lost its luster, and his body was surrounded by a whole circle of sinister sealing formations. He looked fragile and vulnerable, like a poor little thing bullied by an evil organization.
Yuan Zhao laughed out loud at his sudden thought.
The laughter echoed in the empty prison cell, adding a bit of creepiness to the scene that already looked like a horror movie.
Director Luo personally set up a formation in this prison room from which even the evil dragon could not escape, and prohibited anyone from the Twenty-Eight Mansions from entering. He only let Yuan Zhao in, saying that he should try to see if he could wake Bu Ou up.
Yuan Zhao could see that Director Luo was doubting the authenticity of Bu Ou's coma.
In fact, he also doubted this - if a cat could destroy half of Sufang City fifty years ago, and easily bring chaos to the Cat God Sect fifty years later, and finally inexplicably appeared at the scene of the Biluo Organization's attack on Sufang No. 1 Middle School, bystanders would naturally label him as unpredictable and unfathomable.
Now, in the super power world of Sufang City, whether it is the official organization or various super power sects, it is generally believed that Bu'ou's strength is on par with Luo Bozi, the person in charge of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. Some well-informed people even swear that Bu'ou is better than Luo Bozi.
Even Luo Bozi himself agreed with this rumor. After all, even for him, it was not so easy to destroy half of Sufang City under the interception of all the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
"So, who hurt you so badly?" Yuan Zhao murmured, "You are a ragdoll cat with strength comparable to that of a god."
...
...
...No, I am a fairy cat!
The ragdoll cat's ears moved slightly, and he retorted unconvincedly in his heart.
Ever since he was captured by the Twenty-Eight Mansions, he transferred his mental power to the tabby cat, leaving only a small amount of strength to maintain the existence of his body. Even when Captain Donggong and Captain Xigong checked together, they could not tell that he was pretending to be unconscious. They could only helplessly say that this was a mental curse they had never seen before.
However, when Li Hua heard in the meeting that Luo Bozi asked Yuan Zhao to wake up the ragdoll cat, he was really curious about what he would say to him, so he quietly moved his mental power back. As soon as he woke up, he heard Yuan Zhao sighing that his strength was comparable to that of a god, and he was immediately upset.
The only thing that makes Ragdoll Cat comparable to God is probably its stunningly beautiful face.
Bu Ou said proudly: "Yes! I am very pretty!"
Although he was complaining in his heart, it was not the time to clear up the misunderstanding yet. The ragdoll cat held his breath and concentrated, treating Yuan Zhao's words as the educational bedtime story that Kong Xiuwen whispered in Daju's ear when he was sleeping. He listened to it out of boredom while pretending to sleep.
Unlike what he had imagined, Yuan Zhao did not use the usual tactics of coercion, inducement, or emotional appeal during interrogation. Instead, he sat cross-legged next to the ragdoll cat, only two defense arrays away from him, and spoke in a soft voice about the latest developments of the seven cats at home, what nutritious and delicious cat food recipes he had recently discovered, and how there were always no grapes in the self-service fruit salad section of the Twenty-Eight Mansions cafeteria.
The tabby cat, who rushed to the cafeteria on time every day to grab grapes, guiltily cut off the memory sharing between him and the ragdoll cat.
After talking for about half an hour, Yuan Zhao finally stopped talking and smiled sheepishly. He wanted to reach out and touch the furry ears of the ragdoll cat, but he couldn't get close due to the sealing formation. Finally, he stood up and sighed softly: "Although I don't know whether you are awake or not, I still hope you can recover as soon as possible... If you are willing not to hurt others in the future, I will use my status as a member of the Beigong team in exchange for a chance to serve your sentence outside the prison. Maybe we can become a family like Captain Kong and Daju."
At this point, he paused and thought hard for a moment: "Wait, if the two of us go through the adoption procedure, who should adopt whom? You should be in your fifties this year, right?"
Bu Ou first appeared in Sufang City fifty-three years ago, when Yuan Zhao's parents were still babies.
Yuan Zhao was horrified: "Am I supposed to call you cat daddy?"
Ragdoll Cat: “…”
He doesn't have such a stupid son! Don't recognize random relatives!
Knowing that Yuan Zhao was trying to provoke him into confronting him, Bu Ou, although full of curse words, still lay there motionless, and decided to eat all the strawberries in the self-service fruit salad area tomorrow, leaving nothing for this bad guy who took advantage of the cat.
Yuan Zhao waited for a while, but the cat didn't move. He shrugged helplessly. This time he basically gave up the idea that the cat was pretending to be fainted, and prepared to go back and report the news to Luo Bozi.
Before he left the confinement room, the communicator hanging on his waist suddenly turned on, and Kong Xiuwen's serious voice rang out: "Yuan Zhao, come to the East Palace Research Institute."
Although he has been an official member of the Beigong team for quite some time, Yuan Zhao's admiration for Captain Kong is growing day by day, but his fear of him is also increasing. Even when he hears his voice, he will subconsciously stand at attention and nod quickly in response.
Perhaps Donggong had discovered something remarkable in the mountain of information? Curious, he quickened his pace and soon arrived at the office of Donggong Research Institute. He looked inside and saw that almost all members of the North Palace team and the South Palace team were standing in the room.
The members of the Nangong team have already changed into their combat uniforms and are ready to go out for night patrols, while the Beigong team is waiting inside to support them in case a hellhound appears that is too high in level for the Nangong team, who have not yet been transformed, to handle.
As a result, before they could even set off, they were called to the Donggong Research Institute by Luo Bozi. Now everyone was confused, not knowing what extraordinary thing the Donggong had deciphered that required all of them to come and witness it.
Luo Bozi pushed the door open and entered. The captain of the Donggong team followed behind him with a rather stiff expression.
"Director Luo, is there any important news?" Tang Aibai was the most anxious of all. After all, the night patrol could not be delayed. If the hellhound was allowed to stay outside for one more second, it might hurt innocent people passing by. "I'll assign half of the team to the night patrol first, and the rest can attend the meeting, okay?"
Luo Bozi waved his hand at him and said, "It will only take ten minutes to finish. The emergency passage of the headquarters will be opened today. It will not delay your night patrol."
His expression was gloomy, completely different from his usual smiling face, which made almost everyone present feel a little uneasy.
Even when the true identity of the Biluo organization was revealed and everyone thought that this organization from hell that had existed for thousands of years was completely impossible to resist, Luo Bozi did not show this kind of expression - could this matter be more serious than last time?
Even Kong Xiuwen couldn't help but clench his fingers, and Tang Aibai was so nervous that pink bubbles were almost coming out of his eyes. Looking at all the people, only Li Hua was still sitting on the stool, quietly stuffing a piece of gummy bear into his mouth and chatting leisurely with the cat toy in his mind.
"Our Twenty-Eight Mansions' East Palace team is really amazing. They have already deciphered the information in just half a day, and it looks very important," he guessed. "What do you think they deciphered? I guess it's the news that the Biluo organization and the officials of several overseas countries are colluding with each other to buy and sell ordinary people. Otherwise, why would the Luo Bureau be so serious?"
[Not necessarily. It could be the puppeteer's information. You have a puppet in the confinement room. If you treat it harshly, it might attract the puppeteer. You must be cautious about this.]
Cat toys are no big deal.
[Besides, the information that the Twenty-Eight Mansions brought back was for the sake of maintaining Wodi’s cat character. You haven’t read most of it. There might be some important information in it.]
Li Hua felt that what Cat Toy said made sense, and immediately became nervous: "Meow, that makes sense. Director Luo is not smiling, it must be a big deal!"
Fortunately, Luo Bozi had no intention of keeping everyone in suspense. He walked in front of everyone and took out a scarlet crystal ball. Li Hua recognized it at a glance. This crystal ball was the one floating on Luo Bozi's desk.
I watched the crystal ball transform into a blood-red screen, and brilliant light and shadows gradually appeared on the screen.
"This crystal ball can even project images?" Li Hua was surprised. "It's really high-tech!"
Tang Aibai patted his leg in amusement: "This is a retrospective stone. With enough real information as a medium, through the guidance of a large amount of energy, it can show the real historical scene."
This thing is certainly useful, but it can also be said to be useless. After all, the condition for activating it requires detailed and real information and data - so detailed that it almost includes all the contents of the scene it shows.
Its only value, besides converting text and images into videos, is to verify the authenticity of the data.
The changes of light and shadow on the blood-red screen presented the bustling Sufang City more than fifty years ago.
The members of the Biluo organization followed the orders of the swordsman and created a huge energy core that was enough to destroy Sufang. They prepared to detonate it in the form of a killing array, using the lives of millions of people in Sufang City as sacrifices to the gods.
They acted covertly and swiftly, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions, which had only been established not long ago, was completely unaware of this.
When the killing array was completed and activated, the violent energy fluctuation attracted a ragdoll cat. The kind-hearted ragdoll cat couldn't bear to see Su Fangcheng suffer such a disaster and decided to help.
At this time, the members of the Biluo organization had already retired. Ragdoll Cat tried his best to stop the killing array from continuing to operate. The Twenty-Eight Mansions, who realized that there was a problem, found him, but regarded him as the culprit of everything and attacked him together.
The ragdoll cat, who tried his best to rescue Su Fangcheng but was stabbed in the back, exhausted his last bit of strength and fell in mid-air. His eyes, which were as bright as the starry sky, seemed to have lost their luster and become empty and dim, as if accusing the Twenty-Eight Mansions of not being able to judge people well.
Under the fierce moves of the person in charge of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the fragile body lost its last bit of strength and was ruthlessly sealed.
The screen crackled and went black.
But everyone knows what happened next - the Ragdoll Cat was sealed in a coffin, not seeing the light of day for fifty-three years. After being resurrected by a group of fanatics who had done all kinds of evil, he wanted to reconcile with the Twenty-Eight Mansions that had misunderstood him in the first place, but what he got was only suspicion and attacks again and again.
The laboratory was silent.
Almost everyone had a bewildered look on their face. They were shocked that the terrible enemy they had been fighting against for more than half a year turned out to be a friendly force, and they also felt guilty for the damage they had caused to the Ragdoll Cat.
“…”
I had already learned from cat toys about the whole process of how the Cat God saved Su Fangcheng, and I was very confused.
It is true that the Cat God sent an incarnation of his own power to rescue, but the fact that Sufang City was eventually half destroyed was not due to the Twenty-Eight Constellations' obstruction, but because the Cat God arrived too late, and the effect of the killing array could only be weakened but not completely offset.
And the eyes have lost their highlights, that's because the Cat God has extracted his divine power. Afterwards, if the person in charge of the Twenty-Eight Mansions hadn't gone to the trouble of sealing it, the Ragdoll Cat would have dissipated.
So what’s up with this retrospective stone? It actually comes with its own editing and sad filter!
