The main job of the special department is to handle some unconventional cases. In modern times, when fairies are generally law-abiding, their daily task is to deal with the monsters that occasionally pop up and cause trouble.
Before the special department personnel arrived, Di Xiu took the monster he had found away and concealed its presence.
Fifteen minutes later, it was still a familiar desolate wilderness, but it was already dark, and the howling of wolves could be heard from time to time in the mountains.
The bizarre monster lay on the ground, and a talisman was vaguely discernible as being pasted on what appeared to be its brain. Above it, a makeshift grill consisting of two branches and a straight branch stretched across the ground, with a shaved tailless cat hanging from the straight branch.
The demonic energy that naturally rose from the monster's body enveloped the cat. At first glance, the scene looked like a cat being roasted. The problem was, the cat was indeed "roasted" until it shrank, and its body showed signs of charring.
However, judging from the rise and fall of her belly, she is still alive.
When the cat turned completely black, Di Xiu covered his nose and went over, using a fruit knife to kill the monster. He then released spiritual fire to burn the monster's corpse, leaving nothing but a stench.
Finally, he also heated the knife he had painstakingly sharpened.
Di Xiu picked up the unconscious villain and placed him on the ground. He squatted down to examine the gleaming runes on the cat's chest, then cut his finger and flicked out a drop of blood, which fell into the runes.
"Wake up," he whispered, his voice ringing out like thunder in the cat's ears.
The cat seemed to have been turned on instantly, its eyes snapping open without hesitation. They narrowed to slits, widening in a blaze of hatred and murderous intent. Yet, its face remained remarkably docile, meowing sweetly through its three-lobed mouth, taking tiny, ingratiating steps as it tried to ingratiate itself with the cat.
A cold glint fell in front of it, startling the cat so much that it jumped back and cried out pitifully.
Meow~
"sit down."
001 hovered in mid-air, chin in hand, watching the former villain, now truly "out of control." To be honest, he was ugly. His shaved fur made him even uglier, and the lack of a tail only compounded his ugliness. His face and eyes were out of sync, making him even more terrifying.
However, that's not what he was paying attention to.
"He's actually not tainted by demonic energy," 001 exclaimed in surprise.
"It should have been neutralized by the residual power from the mermaid blood he drank earlier."
"Huh? He drank mermaid blood essence before?"
"It smells like that."
Looking at the cat sitting obediently on the ground, but with its eyes darting around with a thoughtful expression, 001 asked doubtfully, "Are we going to abuse the cat next?"
Di Xiu paused for a moment, then said quite frankly, "It's already been tortured."
From the very first time they met, it should have been considered abuse.
001 recalled for a moment, then remembered that in the tomb, he was not allowed to see or hear anything, and guessed that the scene was even more bloody and violent. He gave a subtle "hmm".
Di Xiu picked up the branch from which the cat was hanging and waved it in front of the cat. The cat was excited and active, flapping its wings incessantly. In comparison, the soul imprisoned inside was furious. If looks could kill, Di Xiu would have been torn to pieces by now.
The only eye controlled by the villain was bloodshot, as if it might explode at any moment. With its eyes out of control, the cat accidentally jumped off course and fell.
"Keep your eyes gentle, don't scare people."
Even the villain, unable to retort: "..."
Di Xiu ordered the cat to follow and go back to find the hidden handbag. The cat followed all the way, meowing from exhaustion.
"Um... By the way, Miao Shu is the name of the cat demon. Do you know what the main villain's original name was?"
Di Xiu glanced at the cat at his feet and shook his head: "There's no need to know."
001 thought for a moment and nodded: "It's so bald, how about calling it... Heji, Jihe?"
Di Xiu lowered his eyebrows and eyes, completely ignoring the cat that was staring at him fiercely: "Whatever makes you happy."
Without the villain's knowledge, he was given a new name.
001 has already found an adoptive family for Jihe, but of course, they won't be good people.
He hailed a car with a large sum of money and delivered the cat to the target family's doorstep, leaving some money for food... hoping the other party wouldn't find the cat ugly.
...
Sister Dan and the young man from the special department were from headquarters. They were specially sent because Miao Shu was very famous in human society and had caused a great stir.
They took the severed tail to the Fairy Association and asked a dog demon for help in finding it. The clues on the mountain had been completely washed away by the second rain, so they ended up searching for "Miao Shu".
The Fairy Association was the closest one to them, just as Jihe had thought before, the dog demon didn't have the ability to find him from thousands of kilometers away.
In addition, they contacted the cat tribe to inquire about tail docking.
After receiving the news, the Cat Demon King personally went to the president of the Special Association.
The Cat Demon King is a lion cat who is very satisfied with his appearance and has no intention of becoming human.
He followed the president into the reception room with cat-like steps, jumped onto the sofa opposite the president, and sat down with great poise, his fluffy tail obediently wrapped around his four paws.
"Could I see that piece of tail?"
"It's currently in the hands of a special department, and Minister Sheng is already on his way."
The cat demon king flicked its tail and said with dissatisfaction, "So slow."
The association president smiled but remained silent.
Someone knocked on the door and came in, bringing a glass of light green water and some dried fish, which are cats' favorites.
The cat demon king's tail twitched, its gaze falling on the tempting food, yet it still sat demurely, its head held high.
"Please enjoy, Cat Demon King. To avoid delaying important matters, very little catnip has been added to the water."
Only then did the Cat Demon King, in a show of respect, lower his head and lick the cup twice, then couldn't resist licking it twice more before finally taking a sip and drinking from the cup.
Just as he finished eating most of the snacks, Minister Sheng finally arrived, and the Cat Demon King sat down as if nothing had happened.
However, his good mood vanished when he saw the cat's tail.
He jumped onto the table, sniffed carefully, and the chairman and Minister Sheng could see the seriousness in his hairy face.
"You'd better keep what I'm about to say to yourselves, or else..." The cat demon king's eyes flashed coldly as he revealed his sharp claws and bared his white teeth.
After threatening him, he continued, "If the cat demon lost its tail, there is only one possibility: it was in a life-or-death situation where it traded one tail for another."
"There are rumors that our cat demons have nine lives, but that's not entirely fabricated."
“In ancient times, the ancestors of my cat demon clan were nine-lived cats. The situation now is different from that time. Only a very small number of cat demons in my clan can cultivate a second life. One is to have the luck to activate the ability from their ancestors in their bloodline, and the other is cultivation level.”
"Miao Shu is 437 years old this year, and he has reached this level of cultivation. This is unheard of. Either his bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form, and is particularly concentrated, which could indeed activate it ahead of time. Or, I suspect that he was the one who stole my cat clan's demon core back then."
"I must find him no matter what. Whoever finds him, my cat demon clan can promise him one thing."
