Chapter 6
Yan Xuanjin was silent for a moment, reached out and rubbed the cat's head, which felt very nice, and gently placed it next to the pillow.
"I'm going to take a break. You can play here by yourself."
After saying that, he lay down on the bed, pulled out a corner of the quilt and put it on himself.
Yan Xuanjin closed his eyes and was about to go to sleep——
"Meow~"
He opened his eyes and stared at the cat standing beside his pillow in confusion.
"Meow~" I want to go in too.
The cat lowered its head and nudged the seam of Yan Xuanjin's quilt.
"Do you want to come in?"
"Meow~"
The cat nodded and stared at him with wet blue eyes.
Yan Xuanjin had no choice but to lift the quilt and let it crawl in.
"Be good and don't move." Yan Xuanjin closed his eyes, gently patted the cat's back through the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
The cat was really well behaved and didn't disturb people's sleep.
…
Ding-ling-ling——Ding-ling-ling——
Yan Xuanjin took down the intelligent computer placed on the bedside and received a message, waking up the cat and the people who were originally sleeping.
Yan Xuanjin frowned and hung up the call. He first stroked the cat's back and let it continue sleeping, then picked up the smart computer and walked to the balcony of the dormitory to answer the phone.
"What's the matter?" Yan Xuanjin's tone was filled with a bit of irritability and impatience, and he was slowly getting angry about having his sleep disturbed - perhaps also a bit of grumpiness from waking up.
The elk on the other side of the intelligent computer hesitated, considering for a few seconds whether what he was about to say would make the boss's anger burn even more fiercely. Then he heard the boss's more impatient questioning from the intelligent computer. As a last resort, he said what he had said: "Boss, the people from the Origin Tracing Faction have come to our door and want you to return the cat."
"..." Yan Xuanjin was stunned at first, and when he understood what the elk meant, he found that a piece of the railing had been broken by him.
He dusted off his hands and replied, "Since you're on my territory, it's mine. You know what to do with it."
"That's right, boss, that's what I told them. But the people who trace the origin don't accept it, and they won't communicate unless you come forward." The elk was caught in the middle and was also very embarrassed.
"Tsk." Yan Xuanjin raised his head and looked towards the Imperial Laboratory - the famous place where the Tracing Origin Faction symbolized power.
"What a hassle." He returned to the dormitory, changed into his uniform, and said to the elk, "Let them wait."
"Yes." Elk simply hung up the phone.
Before leaving, Yan Xuanjin lifted the quilt to look at the cat sleeping soundly, and lifted a corner of the quilt to let it breathe. Looking at the cat's peaceful sleeping face, Yan Xuanjin suddenly felt a little guilty - in fact, he was not sure whether the cat really wanted to stay here.
But... thinking about the wounds on the cat's body when it first escaped to the base, it seems that the Origin Tracing Sect didn't give this little thing a good life.
Yan Xuanjin half-knelt on the edge of the bed, staring at the kitten's belly rising and falling for a long time. He finally restrained the urge to poke it for fear of waking the cat up. Then he finally remembered why he changed into this outfit - to fight for custody of his own cat.
…
"Sorry for the long wait." Yan Xuanjin finally arrived when the smile on the face of the Source Tracing Faction member sitting in the reception room was about to fade. He apologized but his face was full of disdain.
Indeed, facing these two people who couldn't even enter the base gate and could only sit in the reception room outside, the empire's only S-level sentinel really had nothing to worry about.
"Colonel Yan, the two of us are here today to retrieve the experimental subjects lost in our laboratory." The two tracing parties looked at each other, and the fatter one spoke.
Yan Xuanjin frowned impatiently when he heard him address the cat. "How did you know your experiment had come to our base? After all, even you two can't even enter our base, let alone a tiny 'experiment'?"
"This... this is of course proven by surveillance video." The fat man's forehead was sweating and he felt a little breathless, but he still answered stutteringly, "After all, our laboratory has very strict control over experimental subjects. First, if there is any escape, it is... a routine tracking and recapture..."
Yan Xuanjin calmly increased his mental suppression, then suddenly smiled. "Since you know it was your 'experimental subject' that escaped, the failure to supervise them properly is your fault, not mine. Now that your 'experimental subject' has entered my base, who knows what he might have seen. You want me to return it to you? Ha... What can you offer me to ask for it back?"
He suddenly applied pressure, shocking the two people from the origin-tracing faction. The fat one even knelt down directly.
“Please, please spare my life…”
"You've run into my territory, 'experimental subject'. You still want to go back? Tell your superiors I'll gladly accept this kitten."
