Chapter 212: Ke Miao and the Little Black Cat
West District, Nighthawks.
Klein, who was just finishing an extraordinary mission, received a new mission.
Cooperate with the police station to catch a black cat that may have problems.
When Klein first heard the mission description, he thought he had heard it wrong. After all, he was a Sequence 8 clown. He only needed enough merit to get the corresponding extraordinary potion and successfully promoted to Sequence 7 magician.
No matter how extravagant the Nighthawks were, they would not send a team member to deal with a black cat, right?
But when he finished reading the file, he frowned slightly and had a new understanding of the case.
Although the outrageous slogan of "Give me peace in the West District late at night" was not realized, as the number of people attacked by the little black cat increased, the police station did send a three-person team to haunt the alleys where crimes were frequently committed late at night.
Unexpectedly, after two or three days of squatting, they really met a more special black cat.
The black cat shuttled from the roof to every alley nearby, like a midnight ghost.
At first, they didn't take it seriously, until the little black cat taught a drunk man who was bullying stray cats a lesson in front of them, then they realized that this cat was not ordinary.
But they couldn't catch up with the little black cat that could freely shuttle on the roof, and could only watch it leave.
The drunk man who was attacked had his face almost scratched by the cat's claws.
When Klein saw this, he didn't sympathize with the drunks who were attacked by cats at all, but felt sorry for the innocent stray cats.
He didn't raise cats, but he liked cats inexplicably. These little guys seemed to have a special affinity with him.
The situation of stray cats is already difficult. It's okay not to feed them some food, but they were also cruelly abused after drinking. Such a person was attacked by a cat, which was not worthy of sympathy at all.
The people above believed that this series of attacks might be related to the witch sect.
If a cat attacks a person a few times, it's possible, but if it happens many times, there may be other factors.
During this time, the group of guys who were secretly looking for the Stars believers quieted down, so their captain gave him this small task and gave him a lot of freedom.
Klein chose to accept this task. While looking for the black cat, he could also look for Lanevus's traces.
This was a very cost-effective task for him.
Through divination above the gray fog, he successfully got the revelation that Lanevus might be active near the East District.
…
Late at night, a small black cat lay on the roof of a house, looking at everything below in a lazy manner.
When its eyes swept across the sewer below, a very obvious expression of disgust appeared on its face.
There was a slight rustling sound from the dirty and smelly sewer, and suddenly waves of rats fled out of the sewer frantically.
Such a large number of rats soon attracted the attention of some stray cats nearby. They gathered together, and some stayed outside the sewer, waiting for the fleeing rats to come to the door.
Some stray cats choose to enter the dirty and smelly sewers to hunt because of hunger.
But strangely, there are many stray cats entering the sewers, but few of them can come out alive.
"Meow."
In response, the little black cat made a puzzled meow. It has been paying attention to this sewer for a while, and has seen its black mouth swallowing countless stray cats, dogs and other animals.
It wanted to enter the sewer to explore, but the stench there was unbearable, and it gave up every time.
It couldn't tolerate its beautiful, smooth and fragrant hair being stained with the stench of the sewer.
So it just stayed outside and waited for new things to happen.
Tonight, it squatted patiently as usual.
Suddenly found that in addition to the stray cats and dogs attracted by the sewer, there was also a round and fat man who entered the sewer.
But not long after, the man screamed and retreated from the sewer, holding a bunch of things like weeds in his hands.
There seemed to be something terrible chasing that person in the sewer.
When the thing poked its head out of the sewer, the little black cat let out a shocked meow.
That thing turned out to be a mouse, a very big mouse, much bigger than an ordinary stray cat, and about the same size as a stray dog.
Its eyes flashed with madness and blood, blood that had not yet coagulated flowed from the corners of its mouth, and there was a lot of cat hair on its body.
It should have just preyed on more than one stray cat.
"Meow!"
The little black cat stood up, put away its lazy eyes, and ran angrily towards the entrance of the sewer below.
The big black rat, who had originally planned to return to the sewer, saw a kitten that was obviously several sizes smaller than itself, coming to die.
It lowered its head slightly, made a move to pounce on its food, and stared directly at the little black cat that was getting closer and closer.
"Meow!"
The little black cat took the lead in attacking.
Its body was extremely flexible. When the big black rat pounced on it, it nimbly avoided the attack and instead waved its claws to leave a small bloody mark on the big black rat.
The pain aroused the big black rat's ferocious nature, and it began to attack like crazy using its thick skin and huge body.
The little black cat fought and avoided, always keeping a certain safe distance, and always seized the opportunity to win a bloody mark for itself with its claws.
After suffering from a series of failures, the big black rat found an opportunity to run back into the sewer. No matter how the little black cat challenged him, he ignored it and disappeared quickly.
The little black cat tried to move forward, but when it smelled the pungent smell of the sewer, it quickly avoided it and waved its little paws to try to dispel the smell of the sewer.
After moving away, the little black cat found a place with water and washed its bloody paws. After confirming that the cleaning was completed, it left here and returned to its long-cherished home along the original route.
When it returned home after a long journey, its owner was already standing in the house waiting for it to come back.
It landed on the windowsill, pushed its head through the glass that was closed by the wind, let out a happy meow, and was about to jump into the arms of its owner.
But just as its body was in the air, its neck was grabbed.
"Azshara, where did you go tonight? Why do you smell disgusting?"
"Meow!"
Azshara's cat hair exploded. She had smelled it several times before, so she shouldn't have been contaminated by the smell of the sewer.
"That won't do. We need to clean it thoroughly first."
"Meow."
Azshara lowered her head and made a reluctant sound.
After washing it several times, she was sprayed with a little rose essence that was harmless to cats.
After becoming fragrant again, Azshara lay in her nest, staring at her master in dissatisfaction.
It had been washed clean, but he seemed to dislike her and didn't let her stay in his arms.
"Meow."
Azshara looked away with some grievance and buried her head in her two front legs.
Suddenly, her little head sank, and the familiar scratching made her feel very comfortable. She poked her head out again, closed her eyes, and made a happy meow.
"Azshara, the West District seems to be under martial law recently. You should try to avoid it during this period."
"No matter what happens in the future, you must be patient and not impatient. You are a natural assassin. Assassins don't fight face to face. You must learn to find the enemy's flaws."
"Then wait for the right opportunity to come and try to kill with one blow."
Hasta told Azshara a lot about the essence of assassins.
Tonight, he also followed Azshara in the form of a spirit and witnessed the battle between Azshara and the big black rat.
Azshara has the upper hand in agility. If the opportunity is right, there is a chance to scratch the weak throat of the big black rat with one claw.
You can also choose to start with the eyes, lower abdomen and other places.
After educating Azshara, Hasta returned to his room to rest.
The big black rat that suddenly appeared in the sewer tonight may be related to Lanevus.
He remembered that after Lanevus escaped from Tingen to Backlund, he had been imprisoned by the Aurora Society because of his special relationship with the real creator.
In order to escape the control of the Aurora Society, he took many self-rescue methods.
One of the methods was to pretend to be out of control, then go to the sewer and secretly infect some creatures there with blood, turning them into vicious mutant monsters.
Combined with the situation tonight, the sewer is very likely the place where Lanevus secretly infected with blood.
"Lanevus, let Klein deal with it himself."
Hasta had no special intentions against Lanevus. Of course, if Lanevus really appeared in front of him, he would not mind taking action to deal with him.
The power related to the real creator in him did contain a lot of danger. It would be bad if he accidentally hurt Azshara.
...
Above the gray fog, Klein once again divined Lanevus's whereabouts. This time he saw a sewer and saw the specific construction conditions nearby.
He planned to go and investigate tomorrow, find this sewer, and then go to the sewer at night to wait under the pretext of looking for the little black cat.
Klein was still very excited when he thought about meeting Lanevus and taking revenge on Tingen.
What made him even happier was that if he could really defeat Lanevus, his contribution would be enough to be promoted to a Sequence 7 magician.
"Lanevus, Ince Zangwill, wait for the revenge from Tingen!"
