Just the day before, they took advantage of the opportunity of the super power sect's hunt for the cat demon Yun Jian to wipe out the super power sect's lair. There were so many super power criminals in custody that all the Twenty-Eight Mansions came out to watch the fun. Although the members of the Nangong team headed by Tang Aibai were proud, they were also really tired.
If they hadn't been able to contact Yun Jian, they wouldn't have planned to patrol Sufang tonight. After all, when a sect had just been wiped out, other illegal superpower organizations in Sufang City would not dare to show up and cause trouble, no matter how stupid they were. At least in the past few weeks, the stability of Sufang was guaranteed.
Therefore, after receiving Yun Jian's text message, Tang Aibai was ready to lead the team to finish work. The three of them were laughingly discussing how to pry open the mouths of those super-powered criminals when they returned. After walking a few steps, they heard a man's scream coming from not far away.
They rushed over quickly, rescued the innocent passers-by, and were then surrounded by seven slavering hellhounds. They fought fiercely for more than half an hour but failed to kill any of them. Instead, their superpowers were almost exhausted - this was everything that happened before Tang Aibai contacted Yun Jian.
Of course, there was not enough time and the hellhounds were fighting fiercely, so he did not explain everything to Yun Jian in detail. He briefly told Yun Jian what happened and hurriedly sent his address to Yun Jian.
"I saw the cat demon beating the dog in the surveillance video before, but I didn't think it was so difficult," Peng Hua said depressedly, stepping on the twisted vines and leaves, and sneaking with the three hellhounds. "Why is it so difficult for us?"
Tang Aibai cut off the communication, put two fingers together and put them between his lips, and blew gently, and countless silver bubbles emerged. The bubbles fell on the hellhound, turning into a small vortex of sharp blades, cutting off all four claws of the hellhound, and even the body was torn into pieces. However, the bloody scene imagined did not appear. The injured part turned into a black mist, which soon recondensed and the intact hellhound appeared again.
"These hellhounds aren't very strong. The smaller ones are at most mid-level D-grade, and the four big ones are probably high-level D-grade. But we can't hurt them at all."
The three members of Team Nangong sighed in unison and continued to move around to attract the hellhounds' attention and hatred, trying their best to keep them all in a small area in the middle of the street to prevent the hellhounds from breaking out and hurting ordinary people.
On the other side, Yun Jian was also discussing this matter with Cat Toy.
...
...
"Why can't Team Nangong defeat the hellhound?" He didn't think he was stronger than the well-trained superpowers of Team Nangong. "Also, Captain Tang said that the hellhound appeared half an hour ago. Why did you just sense it?"
[Under normal circumstances, I can sense it in time. This time, I guess the Twenty-Eight Mansions used a space shielding device. It was not until the shielding device was turned off that I could sense the breath of the hellhound.]
Cat Toys explained patiently.
[The hellhound is not an ordinary monster, but a chaotic consciousness that was split after the fall of the gods. Even though its power was weakened after being projected into the human world, its status is not something that ordinary people can shake. You can expel it back to hell because you have the power of the cat god, which is equal to the hellhound in terms of status - more noble than it, after all, you are a cat and it is a dog - ordinary superpowers cannot open the gates of hell no matter how strong they are, and can only let the hellhound die and resurrect countless times.]
Yun Jian wisely did not comment too much on the cat-dog dispute. He understood the cat toy's meaning and felt relieved. He rushed towards his destination a little faster. His body almost turned into an afterimage as he passed between the tall buildings, blending perfectly with the night. Only the moonlight could illuminate the furry tail swinging behind him.
The black fog once again condensed into the shape of a hellhound, and its bloody mouth fiercely bit through the tangled vines, tearing a gap in Penghua's defense. Another hellhound then pounced on him, and its teeth had already touched the clothes on Penghua's arm -
The sharp metal claws slashed across the back of the neck, and the hellhound didn't even have time to roar before it turned into black mist and disappeared.
He was ready to lose one of his arms, but there was an unexpected turn of events. Peng Hua took a quick breath, raised his head, and saw the cat-eared boy smiling at him. He looked well-behaved, cute, and quiet, which could arouse people's desire to protect him. But before Peng Hua could say anything, he suddenly turned around, stepped on the hellhound's head, and beat it several times. Finally, he poked his claws into the hellhound's skull and drove the hellhound away violently.
Peng Hua: “…”
The filter is broken, thank you.
The three members of Team Nangong stopped their attacks at the same time, and watched Yun Jian take care of the hellhounds one by one like chopping melons and vegetables. The process was extremely smooth and without pause, as if the hellhounds in front of them were not the ones that had beaten them to the point of being helpless and almost decimated, but just some weak puppies.
After dealing with the last hellhound, Yun Jian withdrew his hand, patted off the remaining black mist on his fingertips, and looked at Tang Aibai embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't sense the breath of the hellhound here before, so I came late."
Tang Aibai's eyes moved slightly and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
As a member of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, he was tasked with protecting China from super-powered threats. He had always been the one to save others, but this was the first time someone had put himself in the position of the protected person and apologized to him for almost getting hurt.
"Protecting Su Fang is our mission," he replied briefly. Without saying much, he asked the question that concerned him the most, "Where did these hellhounds go after they turned into black mist?"
Tang Aibai did not bother asking Li Hua how he killed the hellhound - although he did think that Li Hua might have grasped one of the hellhound's weaknesses. However, he had just carefully observed the battle between Yun Jian and the hellhound and determined that Li Hua's attack method was not unique. So it was obvious that only Li Hua could truly hurt the hellhound.
"They were expelled back to hell," Yun Jian said, processing what Cat Toy had just told him, removing the part about Cat God, and explained to Tang Aibai, "But your attack is not meaningless. The strength of the hellhounds will decrease as they turn into black mist and condense again and again."
If the hellhounds had not been severely weakened, he would not have been able to expel all seven hellhounds so easily.
Tang Aibai nodded after thinking for a while, and glanced at the space shield in his hand that was bitten by the hellhound. He knew that he couldn't stay on the street for too long, so he invited him, "Would you like to go back to the Twenty-Eight Mansions headquarters with us? We wiped out that sect yesterday, and I think you would be willing to hear the follow-up."
While saying that he was going back to the Twenty-Eight Constellations headquarters, he was actually thinking about how to trick this capable and mysterious cat into joining the Nangong team. Tang Aibai rubbed his chin with his fingers and looked at Yun Jian sincerely.
Yun Jian did not refuse this time. After asking Cat Toy, he learned that no hellhound had appeared at the moment, so he happily followed him to the headquarters.
The contact during this period made him have a good impression of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and he was willing to entrust some of his trust to them. In addition, the strength and number of the hellhounds were growing stronger and stronger, and he, a cat, could not cope with it alone every night. If he encountered the situation again like last time when he was seriously injured and hunted by a sect with ulterior motives, he could not guarantee that he would have the good luck to escape death.
"Lihua - can I call you Lihua? You are really good at fighting!" Qiao Liang took a few steps forward, looked at Yun Jian with crooked eyes, and swung her high ponytail in the air, her tone sounding somewhat intimate.
Peng Hua was on guard at one side. Upon hearing this, he turned his head, pushed up his glasses, and agreed: "Indeed, the jumping ability and explosive power are both amazing."
Yun Jian was already quite curious about these two people, and when he saw them talking to him, he also politely praised them, and then naturally started a discussion.
The three of them were chatting animatedly, leaving Tang Aibai alone in front. He couldn't help looking back several times, wanting to interrupt, but he never found a suitable opportunity. He had no choice but to walk forward, walked through the block, and stopped in the most remote alley at the corner at the end of the street.
"Are there any enemies?" Yun Jian alertly raised his cat ears, his tail hair stood up, and he took a defensive posture.
After looking around and not seeing any outsiders, Qiao Liang patted his shoulder and told him to relax: "It's okay, this is the transmission channel of the Twenty-Eight Mansions."
As she spoke, she walked towards the old, dusty three-wheeled food truck deep in the alley. On the hood of the truck was painted "Northeast's unique grilled cold noodles" in bright red font, and underneath was an empty wooden board.
Yun Jian scratched his ears, not understanding how this thing could be connected to the transmission channel of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
Qiao Liang stopped in front of the snack cart and looked around cautiously. Then he stretched out his right hand and tapped the wooden board with his fingers, with the same frequency as knocking on the door at ordinary times. He knocked 28 times in total and then whispered: "The four spirits of heaven, to rectify the four directions."
As soon as he finished speaking, the snack cart suddenly disappeared, and in its place was an arc-shaped door with a cold silver-white metallic glow. Qiao Liang stood in front of the door, letting the red rays sweep over his body, and then he heard a mechanical voice at the door: "Qiao Liang, Nangong Team of the 28th Mansion, authentication successful."
The metal door automatically moved to both sides. Qiao Liang stepped in first, followed by Peng Hua. Tang Aibai put his arm around Yun Jian's shoulder, who was peeking out, and walked slowly into the door.
"This is too magical," Yun Jian couldn't help but sigh, "Is this magic?"
"No, this is superpowers," Tang Aibai corrected, then tilted his head and joked in a good mood, "But strictly speaking, there is no essential difference between it and magic. Anyway, I don't understand the principles, but it's still quite useful."
Yun Jian had no intention of replying to Tang Aibai at this moment. He was looking at everything in the center of the Twenty-Eight Mansions in shock.
It was not the government office building he had imagined before, nor did it have the solemn and oppressive feeling of a police station or a police substation. In the front was a circle of beige fabric sofas that looked particularly soft, and next to them was a dessert stand with exquisite small cakes, as well as various green plants and books - Yun Jian was sure that he saw the words "The Evil King and His Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Little Wives" on the cover - further away was a round goose down blanket with a huge, nondescript green tent stacked on top.
It doesn't look like the headquarters hall of an official superpower organization, but more like a leisure playground for children's summer camp.
