The head of the special department, Sheng Zhuoyu, is a Buddhist cultivator with formidable strength, adept at dealing with demons and monsters.
Jihe was constantly possessing other bodies to prolong his life, while this one was reincarnated and reborn. Every time he drank Meng Po soup, it was mixed with a huge amount of water, and the ghost guards of the reincarnation well were blind to it, allowing him to be born with a string of relics, and then his life became extraordinary.
The reason why he is said to be following the path of Buddhist practice rather than practicing Buddhism is because he broke the precept against killing several lifetimes ago—this was somewhat influenced by Jihe.
After Sheng Zhuoyu, he gradually developed a heart of stone, but he still used the methods of a diamond.
He did not become a monk in this life. He had thick hair and dressed very fashionably. At first glance, he was a handsome man. Apart from the beaded string on his hand, there was no indication that he had any connection with Buddhism.
He wasn't interested in how the cat demon cultivated his second life. Hearing the cat demon king's off-topic explanation, he asked with slight impatience, "What's the principle? He left behind a tail, so where did his main body go?"
The cat demon king's eyes flickered for a moment, then he stepped on his tail, which had somehow ended up under his rear end, with his two front paws. He stiffened his neck and said with complete righteousness, "If I knew, why would I need you to help me find it?"
Sheng Zhuoyu frowned quickly, took out a cigarette case from her pocket, and was reminded by the chairman next to her to put the lighter back, but she just put it in her mouth.
He glanced at the silly-looking lion cat, took a drag on his cigarette, and patiently asked, "What I'm asking about is the process of using this 'life-for-life' skill. How do you use it, and how do you escape afterward? Do you revive on the spot, or is there a save point?"
"I don't know, I've never used it." This time, the Cat Demon King's bravado was somewhat hollow.
Sheng Zhuoyu scoffed and said to the president, "History has proven that the hereditary system is undesirable, yet some demon races still use it. Look at this, how can someone with such a brain become the king of the cat demon race?"
The president was almost convinced by him, but then he remembered that when the Cat Demon King took over, the feudal dynasty had not yet collapsed.
The cat demon king stood up, hissing, and roared, "Human, do you want to fight?"
The association president quickly stepped in between them, stroking the lion cat's fur and stuffing dried fish into its mouth as it opened it, leaving the cat stunned. He then turned to Sheng Zhuoyu and scolded in a low voice, "We're talking about serious business. Straighten your attitude and watch your mouth."
Sheng Zhuoyu scoffed lightly: "Then you talk to him."
The cat demon king made a move to attack, but the association president grabbed him and calmed him down after a long while.
"Cat Demon King, you need to provide us with information, otherwise we can't find him. I've already had the dog demons search the area where Mu Shu went missing, and we're gradually expanding the search area, but we still haven't found him. How exactly does your 'tail-for-life' technique work?"
"Is it feigning death on the spot to escape, or is there some special effect? Your ancestors were nine-lived cats. Did the second life you cultivated have any special effects like those of a nine-tailed fox? Like being able to teleport. Think about it carefully."
Sheng Zhuoyu glanced at the Cat Demon King from head to toe: "Why ask him? He probably hasn't even cultivated a second life yet."
The cat demon king's fur stood on end again, his voice still weak, and a hint of grievance flashed in his cat eyes. He just lacked that little bit of luck, what could he do?
The president's lips twitched. Seeing the kitten on the verge of tears, he quickly continued feeding it dried fish, stroked its fluffy head, and then turned back to slap Sheng Zhuoyu's shoulder: "Shut up, will you?"
"Cat Demon King, is there any record of this in your clan?"
"No."
Sheng Zhuoyu refrained from laughing out loud out of politeness, but before she could speak, she received a glare from the president.
The Cat Demon King remained silent for a long time before saying, "My father once created a second life. After I took over, he went to avenge my mother, and when he returned, he was only a spirit. If this ability could be accompanied by teleportation, he should have come back to find me when his first life was gone."
Sheng Zhuoyu's impatience disappeared. He ground his cigarette butt a few times, glanced at the lion cat sitting there looking like it was about to cry, clicked his tongue, and mumbled, "I'll go ask that person from the Gui family to do some divination."
"Alright."
"Remember to claim reimbursement."
The president stared at the table for a moment, then turned his gaze to the Cat Demon King, who said aggrievedly, "I'll reimburse you, but you can't cheat me."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more useful information from the Cat Demon King, the guild leader asked, "Did the Valley Master of Sword Valley say anything about that sword?"
Reciting the Valley Master's words, the Cat Demon King did it quite fluently: "The Valley Master told you to ask Xiao Xuan. Back then, he was a sword-collecting maniac, and he has seen all the swords in the valley. If he can't recognize them, then the Valley Master certainly won't recognize them either."
"What has Xiao Xuan been doing lately?" the president asked Sheng Zhuoyu.
"How would I know? I only have a few capable men under my command, how could I have time to keep an eye on him around the clock?"
"Go and see him."
Sheng Zhuoyu took out her phone, opened the call log, and waved it in front of the president: "Can't get in touch with him. That guy's been out gallivanting around somewhere all day. Why don't you ask this cat if he saw him on his way here?"
The Cat Demon King shook his head: "No."
Upon hearing Sheng Zhuoyu's irresponsible tone, the president finally had a # character pop out on his forehead.
"You were told to watch him, and you just stood there watching?" That's a great demon, a great demon who was the strongest human race a thousand years ago.
Sheng Zhuoyu sneered: "The place where Miao Shu disappeared is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from our jurisdiction. You specifically entrusted this matter to our Lord Hou. Why don't you teach us the art of clones?"
The president hesitated for a moment, then said, "Send him a text message and tell him not to forget the contract."
“By the way,” the Cat Demon King suddenly spoke up, “the Valley Master also asked me to tell you that if Wen Shi doesn’t want to leave Sword Valley, none of you can force him.”
Sheng Zhuoyu smiled enigmatically and said, "I'm leaving."
Once outside, he lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and as he walked out, he took out his phone and made a call.
...
As for where Xiao Xuan is, 001 knows. He mainly keeps an eye on the two main characters and one major villain, and occasionally checks on the progress of the special department's investigation into the "Miao Shu" disappearance case.
Xiao Xuan sneaked into Sword Valley again to spy on the little sword spirit, and the cat demon king just happened to miss him when he left.
There's no internet in Sword Valley, it's outside the service area, but special departments can still call even if the other party's phone is off, whether or not you can get through depends entirely on whether Xiao Xuan is willing to answer.
He refused.
However, the ghost call also successfully led to his discovery by the sword spirits of Sword Valley, and he was once again beaten away.
The boy, Wen Shi, was learning moves from the spirit of a heavy sword and knew nothing about it.
001 saw that Sheng Zhuoyu was going to find the fortune teller girl from the Ghost Family and asked Di Xiu if he wanted to interfere with the signal.
"Need not."
