[The Cat God has nothing to do with this sect.]
As the Nangong group walked along the corridor of the Twenty-Eight Mansions headquarters, Cat Toy finally found his voice.
[The earthquake was caused by Biluo Huangquan. The one who was sealed was actually the incarnation of the power of the cat god who was sent to protect Su Fang after learning about this. After stopping the Biluo sect, he was seriously injured and was sealed by the superpower at that time as a cat ghost.]
Perhaps because he was in a hurry to argue, or perhaps because he was emotional after hearing Tang Aibai's slander against Cat God, Cat Toy's voice even had a hint of tears, and even his explanation was incoherent.
"Don't get excited," Yun Jian calmly comforted him, "I don't believe what Captain Tang said."
If the Cat God sect really had the support of the Cat God, why would Cat Toy choose an ordinary high school student with no ambitions like himself as the messenger to expel the hellhound?
Besides, after spending such a long time with Cat Toy, Yun Jian saw clearly that although this guy didn't say it, he was still close to humans in his heart. At least he wouldn't do such a boring thing as destroying the world.
The cat toy finally quieted down, but still seemed a little indignant. After a moment's silence, it muttered something under its breath.
[If my God had not guarded the gates of hell for thousands of years in obscurity, he would have been the most honorable God in heaven and earth. How could a small superpower sect take advantage of his name?]
Yun Jian didn't say anything else.
...
...
He followed Tang Aibai with his hands in his pockets, not knowing what he was thinking about. He didn't even take the cream biscuits handed to him by Penghua. He only came back to his senses after walking into the detention room. He expressionlessly released the compulsory contract on this follower of the Cat God sect.
Tang Aibai gave him half a bottle of truth serum.
The believer was choked by the truth serum and woke up faintly. He looked around blankly and soon realized what had happened. Without even looking at Tang Aibai in front of him, he stretched his neck and glared at Yun Jian: "Shameless man, you actually betrayed the Cat God!"
Yun Jian felt nothing in his heart. He leaned back as if to give in, pretending not to hear the angry questions from this new believer.
"What is the Cat Cult's intention?" Tang Aibai interrupted the believer, grabbed his collar and asked fiercely, "Why did you attack Lihua?"
Tang Aibai's actions were rough, and the believer whose collar was strangled could hardly breathe, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he talked about this and that aimlessly. When Tang Aibai relaxed a little, he suddenly lowered his head and hit the corner of the table with such great force that he actually broke one of his front teeth.
Blood foamed from his mouth and he laughed loudly: "The Cat God is about to return. You poor unbelievers, wait for His boundless wrath!"
As soon as the words fell, the man fell silent.
Tang Aibai's face was solemn. He stepped forward and carefully checked for a moment. After confirming that the believer was beyond saving, he sighed helplessly: "He hid the poison in his teeth."
The truth serum developed by the Twenty-Eight Mansions specifically for interrogations is not as magical as in the movies. It is just a drug developed with the help of a pharmacist's superpowers and several hallucinogenic drugs, which can prevent the user from telling lies for a period of time. It cannot answer every question, and it is even more impossible to prevent various accidents during the interrogation process.
Tang Aibai, who has always been good at communication, made such a big mistake. In addition to the fact that he did not expect that the believer had a backup plan, it was also because he was uneasy.
What is the relationship between Lihua and the Cat God Cult? Is the so-called hellhound from hell hiding a bigger conspiracy?
Tang Aibai recalled the vague instructions given by the person in charge when he handed over the information about Li Hua to his superior, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.
——The members of the Twenty-Eight Mansions have always had clean backgrounds, in order to minimize the possibility of backstabbing by an internal spy. Was it right or wrong for him to make an exception and accept Li Hua, and even turn a blind eye to his mysterious whereabouts and interpersonal relationships?
Yun Jian didn't notice Tang Aibai's expression, and walked towards the believer, ready to search him carefully for the items he was carrying. Tang Aibai, who was daydreaming, subconsciously drew his knife to block his neck, blocking his steps forward.
Yun Jian was stunned.
Tang Aibai himself was stunned.
…
"Let's transfer this person to the forensic identification department first."
Peng Hua spoke, breaking the eerie silence in the prison room.
"We don't know what this guy is here for. Maybe the superpower sect is afraid of Li Hua's strength and sent him to sow discord."
"That's right. It's just a mere Cat God Cult. There's nothing to worry about," Qiao Liang said, putting his arm around Yun Jian's shoulders and leading him out the door. "Even if the Cat God really shows up, he may not be able to defeat the head of our Twenty-Eight Mansions. The Cat Ghost attacked us unexpectedly last time, and he took the initiative but was still sealed. How can he win this time?"
The cat toy snorted loudly in Yun Jian's mind.
[These idiots haven’t even figured out the culprit, and they’re still slandering my God. I curse them to never have a cat to rub their fur against in their lifetime! Humph! ! ]
Yun Jian couldn't help but laugh.
He understood Tang Aibai's concerns, and could see that Penghua and Qiao Liang were speaking up for him. He didn't have any special feelings, but felt a little warm in his heart. Seeing that Tang Aibai looked at him with some guilt, he took the initiative to step forward and patted him on the back: "Captain Tang, I want to eat a small cake."
Tang Aibai immediately led the team to the headquarters lobby. Halfway there, he whispered, "I'm not doubting you, I just—"
"I know," Yun Jian didn't let him finish. "When I first saw you, I also thought you were in the same group as those superpowered people who tried to capture me for experiments. We are even now."
Thinking of the young and awkward boy he first met on the rooftop, Tang Aibai curled the corners of his lips.
He did not give up the idea of submitting a report to the person in charge of the Twenty-Eight Mansions and applying for an investigation into the background of ionization, but the fear in his heart disappeared invisibly. After sitting down on the sofa in the hall, he took the initiative to pick out a beautiful Black Forest corner cake and handed it to Yun Jian, then turned to talk about business.
"The believer just now said that the Cat God is about to return. It is very likely that the Cat God sect wants to revive the Cat Ghost."
Tang Aibai bit the teething biscuits that Peng Hua stuffed into his mouth with difficulty, like a golden retriever that couldn't chew beef jerky. It was completely impossible to tell that he was talking about such a serious topic.
"The guards at the center of the formation that seals the cat ghost should be strengthened."
Even though the Twenty-Eight Mansions attached great importance to the cat ghost that destroyed half of the Mansion, that happened fifty-three years ago after all. Now few people know about the seal formation and there are only a few people to protect it.
"Is this within our scope of responsibility?" Yun Jian asked in confusion, "Isn't it Beigong's job to handle major incidents of Class C or above and protection missions?"
"Southern Palace and Northern Palace are not that separate most of the time," Qiao Liang interrupted, "Just like Eastern Palace and Western Palace, one is a logistics department and the other is a research department, but in fact both sides do both research and logistics."
Tang Aibai nodded: "Beigong is busy right now. Their captain Kong Xiuwen and more than a dozen team members are on a secret mission in South America and will not be back for a while."
If Kong Xiuwen was here, Li Hua's joining the Twenty-Eight Mansions would be a little more complicated, Tang Aibai thought aimlessly. Ever since a young man in the team died, that guy has been particularly sensitive to such things, not to mention that Li Hua should still be a minor judging by his appearance.
"How old are you?" he asked suddenly, "assuming you calculate your age similarly to the way we do?"
How old is the tabby cat?
It has been exactly one month since birth.
Yun Jian wagged his tail and decided to ignore the question. He stuffed the rest of the cake into his mouth and gestured vaguely: "I can't speak."
Tang Aibai shut up helplessly.
They sat on the sofa and soon finished all the small cakes on the dessert stand. Finally, each of them squeezed a crispy ice cream cone and walked to their respective lounges while eating.
Yun Jian was anxious to transfer all his mental energy to his main body to listen to the class seriously, and hurried back to the lounge. Qiao Liang also left yawning. Tang Aibai was about to enter the password of his lounge when he was stopped by Peng Hua.
"We should talk," Peng Hua said, his expression unusually serious, "Are you going to write an application to Director Luo?"
Tang Aibai didn't say anything, but entered the password of the studio, and walked into his office one after another with Peng Hua.
"Lihua is a good kid. You shouldn't initiate a member background check based on that unfounded suspicion."
As soon as he walked into the office, Penghua went straight to the point.
"I know you're going to say something about how you, as the captain, are responsible for our safety, but you were the one who convinced Director Luo to let Li Hua join the team with a secret identity. You shouldn't go back on your word behind Li Hua's back."
Tang Aibai was silent for a moment: "I thought you would be the one who most hoped that everyone in the Twenty-Eight Mansions had a clean background."
"Of course," Peng Hua admitted without hesitation, and even laughed at himself, "Being betrayed by a traitor and having your family destroyed is not a pleasant feeling. But Captain Tang, being suspected of being a traitor for no reason is equally unpleasant."
"I'll vouch for Li Hua. If he really has a problem, he will have to step over my body before endangering the Twenty-Eight Mansions."
Tang Aibai lowered his eyes. After a moment, he nodded gently.
"That's right," Peng Hua smiled easily, "You'd better go check the defense of the Cat Ghost Sealing Array instead of writing the application. If the Cat God Sect really releases the Cat Ghost to harm people, it will be a big trouble. By the way, where is the sealing array?"
…
Fifty-three years ago, the seal formation was set up by China's No. 1 superpower and the chief of the Twenty-Eight Constellations at that time. In order to prevent the possibility of being used by crazy believers in the superpower world, the location was kept strictly confidential. Until now, except for the successor general manager Luo Bozi, only the captains of the North and South Palaces have the authority to inquire about the location of the seal.
Tang Aibai, who urgently reported to his superiors and obtained authorization to deploy defense, took Peng Hua, who was also awake, and went to the above-ground part of the Cat Ghost Sealing Array in disguise.
"Who would have thought that such a dangerous formation is not in the wilderness where few people go, but in a place like this." Peng Hua, wearing a cheap windbreaker that was washed to a white color, sighed in a low voice.
Tang Aibai stood in front of the gate and looked up at the sign carved on the stone beside the arch. On it were four large Chinese characters:
Sufang No.1 Middle School.
The author has something to say:
Yun Jian is going to meet Lihua Maomao hehe
