[Wait, let me see... It says here it's three days after the male and female protagonists left the city. That is... today.]
"I'm going." Su Chen rolled out of bed and, using the cat demon's unique jumping ability, leaped onto the roof.
They leaped across rooftops and walls, astonishing a group of passersby.
After finally reaching the city gate, Su Chen tried to run over it several times but failed, so she had no choice but to obediently walk through the city gate.
Perhaps her actions just now were too suspicious, because the soldiers guarding the city wouldn't let her pass and even demanded a pass to leave the city.
Su Chen had no choice but to pack up and go back. She also asked the system to give her a Transformation Pill, which turned her into a black cat. She swaggered across the city gate with her cat-like steps.
To avoid attracting attention, I deliberately walked for a while and found myself deep in the weeds before returning to human form.
Su Chen spun around 360 degrees, squinting to make sure no one noticed, "Little Ning Ning, did no one notice?"
"Don't worry, someone already warned you." The system assured you confidently.
"Where are the male and female leads located?"
[Northeast.]
Su Chen: "I can't find north, so just put an arrow in front of me like in some map app, and I'll follow the arrow."
The system sighed, thinking to itself: You're so lazy!
She entered several astronomical numbers of code into the space, and a large red arrow appeared in front of Su Chen.
The arrow also shows how far away the male and female protagonists are.
As Su Chen ran, she asked, "When will the demon horde return?"
The system glanced at the clock in the space. [Two hours from now.]
Su Chen slammed on the brakes, nearly falling into a ditch. "Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner? I drove so fast for nothing!"
I'm focusing on the villains, aren't I? You suspected that Mo Yun wasn't the real big villain, right?
After observing today, I realized something was definitely wrong. Mo Yun didn't even have a chance to save the male and female leads, let alone follow the plot and "leave them to die"!
He's still holed up in the alchemy furnace room, fiddling with those bottles and jars; looks like he'll be busy all day.
Su Chen nodded, confirming her guess. She then asked, "Then, have any other people in the city done anything unusual?"
[How should I know? I only have one head. I have to keep an eye on the male and female leads and your comfort, and I also have to keep an eye on Mo Yun's actions. My brain is already overloaded. You want me to keep an eye on the actions of everyone in the city? You might as well just say you want to kill me!] The system was getting a little grumpy, and even had the urge to quit.
Although... she couldn't resign.
Su Chen knew the system was busy, so she quickly reassured it, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, our cute and beautiful little Ning Ning~"
"I'll trouble Little Ningning to keep an eye on the area around the demon horde tonight. Maybe we'll spot the mastermind behind them."
[Hmph.] The system just grunted twice without responding and continued its surveillance.
After walking for a while, Su Chen finally found the house where the male and female protagonists were staying. She found a secluded spot about 100 meters away and lay down.
One hour later.
"Holy crap! How come there are so many bugs here? Don't they freeze to death in winter?"
Keep your voice down, bear with it, or the male and female leads will find out and we'll be in big trouble.
Su Chen rolled her eyes, a plan forming in her mind. "How about... you let me wait inside the space?"
The system declared righteously: "[Let me tell you, there are no snacks in this space!]"
Su Chen almost burst out laughing when she heard her words. It seemed that she could eat snacks while waiting for the demons.
