"The biggest feature of the Hunting Net Summoning Array is the randomness of the location chosen for the summoning."
At midnight, the moonlight filled the night sky. Yun Jian did not go home after evening self-study. Instead, he took the last bus and came to the former site of Sufang No. 1 Middle School.
Less than half a year had passed since the collapse of the teaching building, and the once bustling area had changed beyond recognition. Without students, shops along the street had closed one after another, and most residents of the neighborhoods adjacent to the school felt that it was unlucky, so almost everyone who could afford it had moved away, leaving only a few households with people still living there.
In the school, the brick and stone ruins have been cleared, and traces of the once majestic institution of higher learning can be vaguely seen. People like Yun Jian, who have studied there for two years, can even tell stories about what happened in every vacant space.
However, the entire school was blocked by several-meter-high iron fences. The Twenty-Eight Mansions even sent two secret agents to stay nearby to prevent this place, which was targeted by the Biluo organization, from repeating the same mistake.
Yun Jian perfectly found the blind spot of the surveillance camera. He stood in front of the fence, raised his head slightly to avoid the moonlight. His light ink-colored eyes slowly turned into inorganic vertical pupils in the darkness. Two furry cat ears emerged from his fluffy short hair. He jumped lightly and landed on the ground silently.
This is the magical superpower he gained after absorbing the soul fragments of the cat god. Since he got it, he has only used it once to save people when the teaching building collapsed, and it has also caused a lot of follow-ups - to this day, there are students in Sufang No. 1 Middle School who insist that they were saved by cats, and even spontaneously organized a club to try to find a cat demon that can transform into a human.
"The Hunting Net Summoning Array generally does not summon prey directly from within the array. Beings that are qualified to be prey are generally knowledgeable and powerful. If they are in the center of the array, they will be able to recognize the nature of the array at a glance. Therefore, this type of summoning array will choose a new location, set up a normal summoning array at that location, and connect it to the Hunting Net Summoning Array."
Yun Jian paused after explaining this, and expressed his disdain for a cat toy that slept in class and missed all the knowledge points: "Do you understand?"
[Why should I listen to the class seriously? I’m just a cat toy.]
...
...
Cat Toy retorted to him righteously, but seeing Yun Jian smiled helplessly without refutation, he snorted twice before giving his own opinion.
[Anyway, I roughly understand. So you plan to set up the formation to summon the Son of Satan at the old site of Sufang No. 1 Middle School? You know that if the Son of Satan breaks free from the hunting net summoning formation, the anger of the demigod will cause the entire Sufang City to collapse in an instant, right?]
"The connection between the ordinary summoning array and the hunting net summoning array can allow all the energy fluctuations inside the summoning array to be added to the hunting net summoning array. Moreover, if I decide to take this approach, I will add another space transfer array. If things go wrong, all the creatures in the summoning array will be immediately transferred to the Biluo organization's base."
Yun Jian had already considered this danger. If he hadn't carefully considered it, he wouldn't have risked sending his real body to explore and arrange the scene when the cat vests couldn't show up.
"The former site of Sufang No. 1 Middle School is the most suitable place... It's not far from the headquarters of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions have been keeping a close eye on this place. Once the summoning array is activated, they will be able to move out quickly, whether it is to evacuate nearby residents or intervene in the battle. I am also very familiar with this place."
"More importantly, a killing array was set up here. Even if the array base has been destroyed, it is still there. Students have died here before. The accumulated resentment and bloody smell have already met the conditions for a blood sacrifice. There is no need to let innocent people die."
Cat Toy pondered for a moment, felt that every word he said made sense, and nodded in agreement. It was not until Yun Jian started to wander around thinking about how to secretly change and arrange the formation under the noses of the Twenty-Eight Mansions and the Sword Master that he suddenly realized the key to the problem.
[Wait, why did you have to summon the Son of Satan? Wouldn't it be better to just let him stay in Hell?]
Yun Jian raised his eyebrows.
"What else?" he asked, "Kill the swordsman?"
Although Wodi couldn't beat the sword master with his strength, if he could be ruthless and abandon all the vests and merge with his body, he could still kill the sword master. If he joined forces with Luo Bozi, it would be no problem to kill the puppet master as well.
But since the son of Satan covets the human world, he will never give up.
"In fact, according to the news that Ghost Master occasionally revealed, the Son of Satan has not yet sent other demons to the human world and has been spreading his beliefs in secret because Sword Master made him think that he was doing a great job and had secretly unified most of the superpower world in the human world, leaving only a few small fish still jumping around in the open."
Yun Jian shrugged his shoulders and also felt that this was a bit ironic.
"In other words, the current peace in the world is thanks to this swordsman who slaughtered tens of thousands of people. If she died, the Son of Satan would send ten more great demons in the next second."
Different from the Son of Satan who was in an unstable position after killing his father a thousand years ago, the ones he sent this time are most likely to be his true confidants after layers of screening. The situation like the current one among the Three Masters of the Blue Sky, where one is slacking off, one is a rebel, and the other has assimilated with the hellhound, will never happen again.
Therefore, compared to the relatively controllable swordsman, Yun Jian, who has already learned a lot of secrets, prefers to kill the Son of Satan first.
[Or you can summon the Son of Satan and directly cut off the connection of the hunting net. The Son of Satan is a demigod and a creature of hell. Even if the constraints of the Heavenly Dao are not as strict as those of the gods, they are not much different. As long as the power released kills more than ten thousand ordinary people, the Heavenly Dao will definitely not sit idly by - at that time, even if his remaining soul escapes back to hell, he will be struck into slag by the thunder of the sky and forced to die.]
After the cat toy finished speaking, he looked at Yun Jian's expression, as if he had seen a ghost, and burst out laughing.
[Just kidding, I know you wouldn't intentionally let the Son of Satan destroy Sufang City. But a god almost died because of this before, so I understand it quite well.]
Yun Jian breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought that Cat Toy was also affected by the power of the Hellhound. "That's what happened. If everything goes well, we can not only weaken the power of the Son of Satan, reveal the Sword Master's plan to the Twenty-Eight Mansions and wipe out the Biluo Organization, but also make Wodi Cat retire, so that the Sword Master won't have any plans to target Lihua and Daju again."
If things don't go well, the result will probably be that the Son of Satan will angrily destroy the base of the Biluo organization. As for the safety of others, Wodie, who holds the hunting net summoning array and can reverse the formation, is not worried.
If it really comes to that, we can use the summoning circle to send the son of Satan back to hell, and then we can take our time to figure out other things. This kind of thing, which is likely to be done once and for all, always involves certain risks.
Given their current situation, if they really want to maintain stability, they will probably have to resurrect the Cat God first.
"In short, the exploration mission is complete," Yun Jian shook his ears, drew the last stroke on the old map of Sufang No. 1 Middle School in his hand, determined the general layout of the formation, then turned around and jumped out of the fence, avoiding all surveillance cameras with familiarity, and disappeared into the darkness of the alley with a slight flash. "The rest of the task will be handed over to Wodi. I don't have the treasures and energy that can serve as the eye of the formation."
In fact, even the knowledge of formations that he mastered was shared by Wodi this morning when he returned to Sufang City under the pretext of feeding stray cats.
His pupils have returned to their normal appearance, the cat ears have disappeared into the air, the schoolbag hidden in the corner is put back on his shoulders, and he puts on his hat. He looks like that ordinary, busy high school student again.
No one knew that what he was thinking about in his mind was such mysterious and profound things as how to save the world and perfect the several feasible energy circuits of the formation.
[I have another question.]
Cat Toy suddenly spoke.
"Why is there still a problem?" Yun Jian's train of thought was interrupted. He groaned in frustration and rubbed his slightly dry eyes. "What's the problem?"
[You took the last bus when you came here, right?]
The cat toy asked faintly.
[So how do you plan to get home? A two-hour walk?]
Yun Jian: “…”
He gasped, suddenly realizing the horrible truth.
He couldn't possibly transform into Cat-Eared Man and parade around Sufang City. If he did that, even if he wasn't surrounded by Team Nangong on the spot, his information would probably be displayed on the big screen at the Twenty-Eight Constellations headquarters early the next morning.
God knows how embarrassed Li Hua was when he accidentally came across the observation information about himself recorded in the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
The cat didn't even want to stretch, it covered its face and ran away, quietly stuffed the information into the stomachs of the edible fish raised by Director Luo, and fed them a whole bag of nutrient powder to aid digestion.
"Forget it, I'll take a taxi," Yun Jian said angrily, clutching his deflated wallet tightly, "This week's food allowance will be cut again."
…
On the other hand, Wodi received the complete story of Yun Jian's experience narrated by Cat Toy.
He listened quietly, drank the glass of grape-flavored drink next to him, put the glass down, and said faintly: "You know that when you laugh at Yun Jian, you are actually laughing at me, right? And when our memories merge, he will immediately know that you said that his 'movement of climbing over the wall is like a cat on catnip'."
[……]
Cat Toy's laughter stopped abruptly.
Perhaps Yun Jian’s acting skills have been honed too well. At certain times, like now, it is really difficult to realize that Wodi and Yun Jian are actually the same person.
"Your praise for my acting won't stop me from holding a grudge," said Woody lazily, "Next time I'm going to sing the theme song of Mixue Bingcheng a hundred times in my mind."
He tilted his ears, ignoring the cat toy's screaming protests, and tapped his cat paw on a plan that Tian Yi had just sent him. The tip of the claw popped out and made a check mark on one of the pages.
Since the trip to the ghost realm, the swordsman may have realized that the cat is not fond of home, and he has been particularly careful about his care. He has to find a mission as an excuse to go to Sufang City to complete the rather complicated formation structure.
The cat toy, who saw the content of the task clearly, choked suddenly, was silent for three seconds, and screamed again.
[Is this the reason why you accepted the mission of assassinating the tabby cat? !]
Could it be that this warlike leopard cat is looking for an opportunity to fight with Li Hua to see who is stronger?
