Daju looked up in astonishment.
He didn't know this man. He could only sense from the faint aura emanating from the man that this should be a super-powered person. He was thinking quickly about how to escape when the cat toy exclaimed in his mind.
[Are powerful superpowers everywhere now? This person's strength seems to be only slightly inferior to that of your Director Luo Bozi!]
The little orange cat decisively gave up resisting, took the butter cake obediently, and took a big bite.
The man smiled imperceptibly.
He was wearing a casual suit, frameless glasses, and his hair was neatly combed back. He looked like a serious and stern man, and his every move had a certain elegance of a scholar, like a university professor in the Republic of China era, with a melancholy feeling that he cared about the world.
The teddy bear's small round hat could hardly cover the orange cat's furry ears, and the cat's tail hidden in the pants was swaying back and forth to show its presence. The man turned sideways to block the sight of kind passers-by, took a few quick steps, turned sideways into another street, and hurried on his way in silence.
Daju was trying hard to eat the butter cake, his mouth stuffed full. It seemed that he was completely absorbed by the food and he didn't communicate at all with the person who took him away.
After all, he didn't know the origins of the man in front of him, or whether he was a fanatic follower of a superpower sect, so he had to pretend to be stupid to avoid making more mistakes.
However, after being carried for a while, he finally realized that something was wrong, and poked the cat toy wildly in his mind: "Did I remember it wrongly? The route he took seemed to lead to the headquarters of the Twenty-Eight Mansions?!"
...
...
[That should be right.]
Cat toys are also shocking.
[When did this person appear in the Twenty-Eight Mansions?]
The man walked to the hawker's cart and stopped. He skillfully opened the space door and stepped in.
After running around for the whole day and still not reaching the Twenty-Eight Mansions, he was unexpectedly brought in in this way. Daju was a little confused. He stared with wide eyes at Penghua who was standing next to the dessert stand in the hall.
Penghua also looked over and saluted reflexively: "Captain Kong, you're back."
The man holding the child nodded.
[Ohhhhh I know who he is!]
Cat Toy yelled.
"I know that too," Daju said first, "Beigong team captain Kong Xiuwen, the particularly unapproachable and serious colleague that Team Tang often mentions."
Logically speaking, Kong Xiuwen and Tang Aibai have the same rank and should be considered on the same level. However, Kong Xiuwen is five or six years older than him, and was promoted to team leader five or six years earlier than him. He has been Tang Aibai's boss for a long time, and his stern image has long been deeply rooted in Tang Aibai's mind. Every time Tang Aibai talks about him, he feels as if he is talking about his high school class teacher, so he doesn't dare to really call him a brother.
The tabby cat, who had been staying in the infirmary since returning from Longcheng, did not get to see Captain Kong Xiuwen, but was bumped into by the orange cat who came to visit.
Daju was in a daze and didn't notice that Penghua's eyes were fixed on him. When he came to his senses, Kong Xiuwen put him on the sofa in the hall, pulled out a piece of toilet paper from the table, wiped the corners of the little orange cat's mouth that were stained with butter biscuit crumbs, and slowly wiped his dirty paws, then picked up a pudding and stuffed it into his hand.
Peng Hua looked at his ears, then at his tail, and asked in disbelief: "Who is this?"
"I picked up a stray cat from outside," Kong Xiuwen said, patting Daju's shoulder to signal him to eat slowly. "It's a kitten demon that just transformed. It's too unsafe to leave it outside, so I brought it back first."
Daju listened to their conversation quietly while eating, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he heard what they said.
He didn't say a word and didn't reveal his identity, so why were these people so sure that he was a little cat demon?
Peng Hua glanced at him and suddenly realized: "That's what Director Luo said--"
Kong Xiuwen nodded: "That's right."
The two of them were playing charades here, which made Daju very anxious. He wanted to ask but knew they wouldn't tell him. So he had to eat his pudding in silence, thinking that he would ask the tabby cat to find out the truth in a few days.
After finishing the last bite, Kong Xiuwen lifted him up by the scruff of his neck, put him back in his arms, and walked towards the lounge with a dignified manner. Mr. Turtle next to him poked his head out and nodded at Daju with a smile.
Put the dirty kitten into the bathroom, rub it with shampoo and soap, rinse it with the shower, wrap it in a big bath towel, and a fragrant and clean kitten will be ready.
Kong Xiuwen gently pinched the cat's ears, took out a hair dryer and blew Daju's hair. He was extremely careful and observed Daju's expression. Seeing that he was not afraid of the hair dryer and even squinted his eyes in enjoyment, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
After putting on the children's white top and overalls urgently provided by the Logistics Department, the bubbling child finally became fresh and cute. His round face was set off by his light golden curly hair, and his big blinking eyes looked very innocent.
Being in the Twenty-Eight Mansions, Daju is indeed quite relaxed now. His head is nodding off after a tiring day, and he seems to be able to fall asleep on the spot soon.
"Do you have a name?" Kong Xiuwen touched his hair and felt it was dry, so he unplugged the hair dryer and put it back in its place, "Kitten?"
"My name is Daju, and I'm here to seek refuge with my cousin." Daju said crisply.
"Cousin?" There was a hint of surprise in Kong Xiuwen's eyes.
"Yes, my cousin," Daju obviously did not give up his original vest background setting, and performed diligently, "I was just born when my cousin left the cat's nest. We agreed that I would come to find him when I could transform!"
Kong Xiuwen stared at him inquiringly for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes and put the child back in his arms: "Come on, I'll take you to ask, and have some dinner by the way - pudding and butter cakes are not considered a full meal."
He did not return to the hall, but went straight to the office of Team Nangong. It was evening, and the members of Team Nangong who were preparing to go on night patrol were debugging their weapons in the office. When they saw someone pushing the door and entering, they all looked up.
Captain Beigong, who is always meticulous and serious, has a child hanging around his neck and a freshly opened box of milk candy in his hand. His hair is wet from being splashed with water when he was bathing Daju, and there is an unwashed cat paw print on the side of his nose, which was left by Daju when he turned into a cat and shook off the water.
Tang Aibai couldn't help but said: "Hahahaha! Male mother!"
The members of the Nangong team looked at each other and also found it funny. However, when they saw Kong Xiuwen's cold gaze, no one dared to agree with their captain. Peng Hua even poked Tang Aibai's waist hard, motioning him to look at Kong Xiuwen's gloomy expression.
Tang Aibai coughed lightly and quickly glanced at Kong Xiuwen, who had a cold expression. He was indeed a little scared, so he quickly changed the subject: "What do you want to talk to us about? Director Luo is not at the headquarters now, and I don't know his exact location."
"Yes, there is something." Kong Xiuwen didn't bother with him. He walked to the conference table and put Daju on the chair. "Daju said he came to look for his cousin who has transformed."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Kong Xiuwen had never had direct contact with Li Hua. He just heard that the Nangong team had recruited a capable cat demon and brought Daju with them. He was not sure that the cat demon was Daju's cousin, but just wanted to test the situation.
But the people on Team Nangong obviously don’t think so.
Tang Aibai's attitude towards Daju instantly changed from curiosity to friendliness. He approached the child, took out a lollipop from his sleeve and handed it to him, smiling and asking, "Little boy, what does your cousin look like?"
Daju took the lollipop, thanked him crisply, put it carefully in his pocket, patted it after putting it away, and then looked up to answer the question.
"He is a very handsome tabby cat!"
Tang Aibai and others looked at each other and almost confirmed their judgment.
"Muscular! Tall! Intelligent!"
The confidence I had just felt was shattered to pieces in an instant.
Penghua shook his head firmly: "No, we don't have such cats here."
Daju let out a disappointed sound. He looked ignorant on the surface, but his feet were beating fast in his heart and he was angrily poking the villain.
How come he doesn't fit these descriptions? He obviously does!
The cat toy laughs super loudly.
Tang Aibai scratched his hair helplessly, thinking that cats' aesthetics might be different from humans'. He glared at Peng Hua and asked seriously, "Does your cousin have a name?"
“Yes,” Daju nodded, “His name is Lihua! Li means leaving one’s hometown, and Hua means to vanish into nothingness!”
Everyone: “…”
How come it's such a nice name that it's interpreted as something so unlucky?
Everyone was digesting this huge amount of information, but Kong Xiuwen was the only one who refused to listen. He picked up the child by the scruff of his neck and walked straight out the door: "Are your team members in the infirmary? I'll take Daju there now."
"Hey, wait a minute!" Tang Aibai quickly took two steps to stop him, "I'll go ask Li Hua first!"
The fact that Li Hua was attacked by fanatics and was severely injured has long been a thorn in the hearts of the Nangong team members. This has also made the team members' desire to protect Li Hua unexpectedly strong. Even though Da Ju still looks like a harmless child, they are unwilling to let him get close to Li Hua before confirming his safety.
Kong Xiuwen, the captain of the Beigong team, understands this.
He stopped obediently and nodded slightly to Tang Aibai: "I'll take Daju to dinner."
Daju clung to his slender neck, looking at Tang Aibai with his round eyes, and only retracted his gaze when the latter disappeared into the space door, and pulled Kong Xiuwen's finger: "Why is my cousin in the infirmary? Is he injured?"
"He selflessly and bravely saved his teammates," Kong Xiuwen said calmly, "He just needs to rest for a few days. It's nothing serious. Someone will bring him a cure soon."
Daju knew that the "someone" he was talking about was referring to Director Luo, and he also knew that the so-called healing medicine was most likely a life-extending treasure that was rarely seen in the super-power world for a hundred years, so he didn't want the tabby cat to accept it - he wasn't sick at all, and it would be a waste to eat such a priceless rare treasure. It would be better for him to stay in the Twenty-Eight Mansions, maybe he could save someone else's life in the future.
"I can cure my cousin without any medicine," Daju tilted his head to look cute, looking very innocent. No one knew how many thoughts were going through his mind. "Just like my cousin's ability is to catch mice, my ability is to heal!"
As he spoke, a faint light appeared in the palm of his hand and sank into Kong Xiuwen's body.
Kong Xiuwen froze and almost threw the child out reflexively. Fortunately, he finally reacted, grabbed Daju's paw and held it in front of him. Just as he was about to frown and teach him a lesson, he saw that his face was pale and it seemed that he would faint in the next second.
The healing energy that was originally full was drained in one breath. Under extreme fatigue, Daju didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only mumble vaguely: "Why..."
Why is it that the captain of the Beigong team, who looks so majestic and powerful, is in such poor physical condition that is comparable to that of a seriously injured patient on the verge of death?
The author has something to say:
Hey! It's the previously missing Beigong team captain Kong Xiuwen!
A male mother who looks serious and upright but dotes on her children (not really)!
Yun Jian has a very high filter for himself (squinting smile), he really thinks that Lihua Xiaozhengtai is very safe and tall. Cat Toy's theory is that this is the sequelae of Yun Jian's original body sticking with JOJO's physical education teacher...
