"Number 23."
"……I am here."
"There's a man in the western part of the city who adopted a cat named Huanya. I believe someone from the China Academy of Biological Sciences will come find him soon.
That man has a physique that attracts phantoms, and he's very useful to our organization. But to avoid alerting the Chinese Academy of Biological Sciences, you should contact him first. If he joins the academy, you should eliminate him afterwards!"
"What if he doesn't join?"
"That's our business. It has nothing to do with you. Just focus on your own business! This is your first mission, there can't be any accidents. Do you understand?"
"……yes."】
The night was like a ghost. Outside, the rain was pouring down, and the sound of rain hitting the windows was endless.
Under the cover of dark clouds, not a single ray of moonlight could be seen, and the room was pitch black.
Relying on his night vision, he found Shen Cheng's room, opened the door quietly, and walked in. His steps were light and silent.
Looking at Chen Cheng snoring softly on the bed, Shatang bit her lip and took out a short knife from her arms.
——Get rid of him.
The man's whisper like a spell echoed in her ears. Seeing that her right hand holding the knife was trembling slightly, she took a deep breath, trying to restrain herself, but what she got was an even more uncontrollable trembling.
——Kill him.
Get rid of him, kill him, get ...
After a moment of trance, Satang found that her vision had become blurred at some point.
"I am the organization's weapon. I follow orders and eliminate anyone who poses a threat to the organization. This is the meaning of my existence, because I am Huanya..."
——Maybe the meaning of your existence is to live with us?
Shen Cheng's gentle voice suddenly penetrated Shatang's mind.
As if a string in her brain had snapped, Sugar took two steps back in fear, the dagger in her hand almost falling to the ground, and tears suddenly fell: "No... Don't..."
Turning around, Sugar rushed out of the door in a panic, followed by the sound of a door opening and someone coming down the stairs.
Finally, after the sound of the cat cafe door being pushed open, everything in the room returned to silence.
Shen Cheng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flickering without showing any sign of laziness. It was obvious that he had been awake from the beginning.
Looking at the ceiling, Shen Cheng muttered to himself expressionlessly:
"Silly cat, it's so late and it's raining so hard outside, where do you want to run to?"
…
Bean-sized raindrops hit my face, and the biting cold almost penetrated into my bones. The street lights outside were off, and the fear brought by the darkness around me continued to grow and spread in my heart. The feeling of depression that almost overflowed from my chest made me almost suffocate.
I don’t know where I am now, I don’t know where I will go next, I just run, run, run blindly...
Should I go back to the organization? If the mission fails, I will definitely be severely punished when I return, and my memory of this period will be erased.
Erasing memories...
The faces of Cheese, Lin Yuhui, Wen Yuanyuan and others flashed through her mind, as well as Shen Cheng's gentle smile that was deeply engraved in her heart.
Feeling the comfort when Chen Cheng caressed the top of her head, the peace of mind when she woke up and saw Chen Cheng right next to her, and the strong sense of dependence in her heart when she held Chen Cheng's hand tightly...
Owner……
"I don't want to..." She whispered to herself hoarsely. She could accept any punishment from the organization, but she could never accept her memory, especially the memory of Chen Cheng, being erased.
The memory of Chen Cheng's existence was the redemption she had been waiting for.
"Absolutely not..." Her running steps gradually slowed down. Standing in the rain, Sugar looked up at the night sky, tears mixed with raindrops sliding down her cheeks.
Her expression became increasingly confused.
If I don’t return to the organization, where else can I go?
Return to Light Spot Cat Cafe? If she confesses everything, will Shen Cheng accept her?
Shaking her head, Sugar walked towards the street corner with heavy steps and staggered.
Even if Shen Cheng kept her by his side, what would happen? Her existence... would bring trouble to Shen Cheng.
Sitting against the wall, regardless of the pouring rain, Sandu buried her face in her knees with a numb expression.
She was very glad that she could meet Chen Cheng, but she also regretted that she met Chen Cheng in this identity.
At this moment, she really envied Cheese, who could stay with Shen Cheng without any worries and live with Shen Cheng like a family member.
——No matter what happens, no matter what the future holds, I will be with you and will never be apart...
The words that Shen Cheng had said not long ago echoed in her ears, but now they could only bring endless pain to Shatang.
——Then, let’s begin a new round of wandering before the organization catches me back.
“Swish——”
Just as Sugar was thinking this, the sound of an umbrella opening rang in her ears. The raindrops that were constantly falling on her body were immediately blocked outside, leaving only the crackling sound of them hitting the umbrella cover.
Startled for a moment, Satang raised her head and looked at the figure holding an umbrella, breathing heavily and wearing thin clothes completely soaked by the rain. Her whole body trembled violently, and she uttered a hoarse voice with a hint of tears: "Master..."
After taking a few breaths, Shen Cheng showed a relieved smile on his face: "Sandal, I finally found you!"
The panicked Sugar subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but there was already a wall behind her. She could only hurriedly shake her head: "I'm not Sugar, I'm number 23, I'm..."
"No, you are Shatang, my family, not a cold number." Extending his right hand towards Shatang, Chen Cheng smiled faintly and said, "Come on, Shatang, come home with me."
"I... I don't have a home. I am a Huanya belonging to another Huanya organization..." Sugar's emerald eyes were misted again.
"That's the 23rd, and you're Sugar. Your home is at the Light Spot Cat Cafe." Chen Cheng still held out his hand firmly, looking at Sugar who was trying hard to hold back her tears, and said again: "Go home."
"My mission is to kill you..."
"But you didn't cut me."
Shen Cheng's prompt response stunned Shatang again: "You know..."
"Yeah, I was awake the whole time."
"Then why are you..."
"Because I believe you won't attack me, because you are my family." Chen Cheng interrupted Shatang again without hesitation, his eyes still fixed on Shatang: "Go home."
"But my existence will bring you trouble..." Tears welled up in her eyes again, and Sugar said sobbingly.
"If you just disappear like this, I will turn around and cause trouble for them." Chen Cheng said in a resounding voice: "I'm never afraid of any trouble, what I'm afraid of is that the people around me suddenly disappear!
Sugar, trust me and come home with me, okay?"
