Chapter 14: The Cat Clan (Part II)
Lu Yao deeply discovered how useful it is to have the ability to switch between a ghost and a ghost freely.
The human body is not limited in its abilities, and the spirit of the ghost has no physical body, and it hits a wall everywhere.
And now, she has the mana that humans don't have, and she can touch the taboo that ghosts can't touch, except for long hours in the sun.
"Nuno, when you finish the exam and go to university, our family will go on vacation to Thailand, right?" Fang's mother suggested it at breakfast today.
"Hehehe, okay." Lu Yao pulled out a smirk.
In that place in Thailand, even the rainy season will suffocate people, the sun will serve you 360 degrees without dead ends, when you go to be a person, and when you come back, it will probably be a puff of smoke.
In the afternoon self-study class, Lu Yao was bored and couldn't study, so she secretly looked sideways at the window, she had a lot of troubles when she was a ghost, and she didn't go lightly when she was a person, so what is the meaning of life?
When I was alive, I had a hope, because everyone would die, but after I died, I found that I still existed, and there was no material separation, which was very confusing.
You feel like time is a bottomless pit, you think you've crawled out of the hole, and when you look back, well, there's a hole out there.
When Lu Yao was thinking about the mystery of life, she suddenly found a person standing under a tree on the east side of the playground, half of his body hiding behind the tree and not knowing what he was looking at.
Voyeurism? Isn't that what I love to do? Lu Yao pouted.
It's a girl who is just starting to fall in love, I don't know which one I fell in love with... Hey, why is the schoolbag that the girl is carrying behind her back so big? Lu Yao stretched her neck.
"Fang Nuo, what's the matter? Books dropped downstairs? The head teacher stood at the back door and appeared ghostly.
"No, I'm moving, hey, hey!" Lu Yao twisted her neck weakly.
Damn, that girl is not carrying a schoolbag, Lu Yao turned her head and glanced out the window secretly.
The peeping girl turned her back to her and left, and behind her lay was a woman with long hair.
I saw that the girl walked a few steps, stopped and hammered her shoulder.
The female ghost was still just lying on top of her, and it would not be long before she strangled the girl's neck with her arms and her body fell, and the girl was afraid that she would die soon. Lu Yao sighed.
"What are the major national affairs that Fang Nuo should worry about? Reading books and seeing emotions? "The head teacher didn't know when he was standing next to her.
"No, no." Lu Yao hurriedly buried her head in the book. Mom, if this head teacher is scary, the ghost will also give three points.
"Come tonight? Waiting for you. Lu Yao looked at the message from Su Qiqi on her phone.
What medicine did this guy take wrong? Why does this news look so awkward?
"Go! Wait! β
"It's too late, people will go to bed first." Su Qiqi sent another one.
What's that? It's like I'm going to do something with him!
"Roll !!" Lu Yao's mind was full of killing intent, and he turned it into a gentle rolling word and gave it to the other party.
"How do you curse? Dead! β
Damn, Lu Yao cursed in a low voice, very good, this guy definitely took the wrong laxative today and broke his brain.
She threw her phone on the bed as if it were a virus.
I'm annoyed, and if I have something to do at night, the teacher will have to test words tomorrow morning.
Forget it, grab the English book and go. Lu Yao looked at the pointer of the watch, which was already pointing to 11 o'clock.
So Lu Yao hid all the way, of course, not only to avoid ghosts, but also to prevent passers-by from being frightened by an English book floating everywhere over the street late at night.
"With the book, I can't teleport." Lu Yao squatted in the corner and peeked at the situation outside.
"What are you doing, it's almost 11 o'clock, why are there so many people on this street?"
"Is that the car you asked for?" A taxi stopped in front of Lu Yao.
"Yes, yes, it's me." A young man wearing glasses ran past Lu Yao.
"I'm going to Yerba Buena Street." The young man pulled open the rear door.
"Yerba Grass Street? It's just around West Street. Lu Yao patted her head and followed, she followed the young man into the car.
"Master, let's take the viaduct, I'm in a hurry." Said the young man.
"Okay." The driver nodded.
"Huh? How to have an English book? The young man found a book near his lap.
"Did the passenger fall into the car?"
"Won't it?" The driver looked in the rearview mirror and replied, "I haven't pulled a student today?" β
The young man picked up the book and flipped through it, "Fangnuo? Is it a girl's book? The handwriting is so beautiful. β
"Thanks for the compliment." Lu Yao sat on the side and rolled her eyes.
Twenty minutes later, "Master, just stop by the side of the road, the young man shouted." β
"Okay." The driver stopped on the side of the road with a foot of the brake.
"Did I pay you online?"
"Okay, it's fine."
"Thank you, Master." The young man got out of the car and closed the door.
"Hehe, there is someone calling a taxi at the intersection in front of me, and I am closer to West Street at that intersection." Lu Yao saw a girl waving on the side of the road in front of her.
"Wait, wait, where's my book?" Lu Yao found that there was no book on the saddle of the car.
Craned her neck and looked back, and the young man who had just gotten out of the car was holding her English book in her hand.
"Your uncle." Lu Yao looked up to the sky and roared, and flew out of the car.
"Stop, you give me..."After shouting for a long time, Lu Yao found that her cry could not be heard at all.
"Humph!" Lu Yao stood still, pinching her waist with both hands.
Start and sprint, grab the book and run.
"Hello? What's the situation? Seeing the book in his hand fly out by himself, he turned a corner and disappeared into the alley.
"This, this, this, the English book is complete?" The young man looked at the empty alleyway and muttered to himself.
"Oh my God, why is there still someone with English books these days? I don't want to give it for nothing. "Lu Yao walks in the alley, and she loves learning too much.
When she arrived at Su Qiqi's house, Lu Yao found that the book couldn't pass through the wall, so she threw the book into the courtyard first and entered through the wall by herself.
"What's that?" Su Qiqi, who was soaking his feet in the yard, hit a spirit.
"What treasure did you take?" He looked at Lu Yao holding the book in his hand.
βEnglishbook!β Lu Yao shook the book in his hand.
"What's wrong? Want to be a foreign ghost? You can also immigrate to the ghost world now? Su Qiqi's eyes widened.
"I have an exam tomorrow morning! Move your head! Lu Yao took the book and knocked Su Qiqi's head.
"Awesome, hey, do you think it's tiring to be a human or a ghost?" Su Qiqi asked.
"It's not tiring to be a good person and a ghost! Life is not good, it's tiring to be a fairy! Lu Yao sat next to Su Qiqi.
"It makes sense, you see, the father-in-law of the land on the east side of West Street, I saw him sweeping the floor the day before yesterday, shouting while sweeping, you dare to pile up garbage at the entrance of the land temple,
Believe it or not, I planted vines in front of your house, stinked you to death, let you, and taste what I smell every day! β
"They throw garbage at the Land Temple?" Lu Yao looked up from the English book.
"Well, I don't know what's wrong with people now? If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but you don't even have the least respect, and the little fairies can't stay in the world. Su Qiqi picked up a towel and wiped his feet.
"What can be done, this kind of thing can't be forced, they can only let them understand it themselves." Lu Yao shook her head and fell into the words again.
"Why hasn't that guy come yet, does he know the way?" Su Qiqi glanced at the gate.
"Have you ever seen a cat get lost?" Lu Yao lowered her head and spoke sullenly.
"Why can't cats get lost?" Su Qiqi disagreed.
"Cats have eyes on their foreheads that can remember all the paths they have taken."
Su Qiqiyi looked up and saw that the royal cat clan was standing on the wall yesterday, but he was now in human form.
"Li Zhe, you're here." Lu Yao greeted with a smile, "Come down." β
"This is your home, so hospitable?" Su Qiqi rolled his eyes.
"Li Zhe, what I asked you yesterday, have you thought about it?" Lu Yao ignored him and continued to ask Li Zhe.
Li Zhi jumped off the wall lightly and walked into the courtyard, "Think about it." β
"Did you promise to testify?" Lu Yao asked.
"Yes." Li Zhe walked in front of Su Qiqi, "Our royal cat clan adheres to the principle of treating people with kindness, treating people with heart, and serving people with courtesy, of course I have to lead by example." β
"That's great!" Su Qiqi said: "Save us from racking our brains every day to think about how to save that black shadow girlfriend, right?" β
He looked at Lu Yao sitting beside him, but found that Lu Yao was staring at Li Zhe obsessively.
"Are you all so good-looking?" Lu Yao stared at Li Zhe's side face and asked.
"Hmm, ahem." Su Qiqi cleared his throat, "Ahem, click." β
"If you have phlegm, you will vomit!" Lu Yao glared at him, "If you eat salty, you can drink some foot-washing water, don't bother." β
"Oh, what's the matter, I don't need this master now, right?" Su Qiqi roared with his neck.
"Stop arguing and get down to business." As soon as Li Fold waved his hand, the chair in Su Qiqi's room flew out and landed in front of him.
"Hey, there used to be an uninvited one, and now there's another uninvited one? My family's belongings can't withstand the toss of the two! Su Qiqi was so excited that he almost stepped on the footbath and stood up.
"Don't be so stingy, don't you just sit in a chair?" Lu Yao tugged at the corners of his clothes.
"Isn't it great to be able to pick up things from the air? Cut! Little trick! Su Qiqi pouted.
"What? Doesn't the little mage know these basic tricks? Li Zhi asked leisurely sitting on the chair.
"Of course I would, but what... There are rules for pedestrians in the world, and spells are not suitable for people's normal lives, and I don't want to rely on spells to become a degraded living waste with limbs. "Su Qiqi bluffs people and has a good eye.
"Knowing that your Grand Master Su has great powers, can we talk about business now?" Lu Yao held the book and said helplessly, it was really naΓ―ve.
"Ahem." Su Qiqi cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Yes, of course." β
"Your footwash is almost cold, isn't it?" Li Zhe nodded at Su Qiqi's footbath.
"I... I'll go! Su Qiqi shouted, looking down at the already cold water under his feet and steaming again, "You still boil water in the air?" β
"Actually, these shouldn't be difficult, but your master didn't teach you." Lu Yao leaned closer to his ear and whispered.
"Hmph." Su Qiqi pouted, next time Master comes, I must ask him!
"Big brother, I already know that you can use a lot of spells, don't show it anymore," Su Qiqi smiled stiffly.
"Li Zhe, if you use your identity in the world to testify, it won't have any effect, right?" Lu Yao asked with concern.
"My identity is made by Baile Shop, and it will definitely be fine, and I will soon give up this identity to return to the Royal Cat Clan, so it doesn't matter." Li Zhen said lightly.
"And how did you abandon your identity?" Su Qiqi asked.
"It's good to disappear, how can you get rid of it? Anyway, we have no relatives and no reason, and no one will track it down. Li Zhi replied.
"When you appeared there that day, did you find traces of your junior brother?" Lu Yao put the book aside.
"Well, I found out that he robbed a security captain in the mall in the past few days, so I planned to bring him to justice that night under the pretense of a company dinner, but I didn't expect to be a step too late, and he ran away and killed someone."
"Now that he has joined the Spirit Soul Gate, is he also living on cannibal souls?"
"The Soul Gate is not only to eat people's souls as a cultivation, but also to eat people's flesh, but this body is extremely demanding." Li Zhe explained: "The ordinary blue devils in the door only need to eat the souls of ordinary people.
The red devil with higher mana needs the soul of the person who eats the pure yin and the body of the person who eats the pure yang of the eight characters, and there is the red devil above the red devil, who wants to suck the soul of the most vicious and the body of the extremely good.
When it comes to the Flame Demon, they are already the mainstay of the Soul Sect, they only eat the soul flesh of cultivators, and the most advanced Soul Devil no longer needs the soul body to eat, but they need to plunder the mana and cultivation of others to enhance their own strength.
My junior brother has just joined the Soul Sect, so he can only suck the souls of ordinary people. β
"Oh my God, they're crazy."
Lu Yao sighed.
"yes, I didn't know they had so many rules." Su Qiqi continued the conversation.
"If the Soul Gate is not removed for a day, there will be no peace in the world, not only in the world, but also in the Six Realms." Li Zhen said.
"I'll go to the police station tomorrow to make a confession, and it is estimated that my junior brother will soon give up that body."
"If you go back to the Cat Clan, what will happen to your junior brother? Is he left here to harm people? Lu Yao asked.
"Of course not, I'm not the only one who caught him, so it doesn't make much of a difference for me to go back." Li Zhi said: "However, I still want to catch him and go back." β
"Will you be punished for catching him and taking him back to the Cat Clan?" Su Qiqi finally finished soaking his feet.
"Rectify the Fa on the spot!" Li Zhe said without hesitation.
"Hey, hey, it's ruthless enough!" Su Qiqi muttered.
"That guy betrayed his master and harmed so many people, if he didn't rectify the Fa on the spot, if he ran away again, it wouldn't be ruining other innocent people." Lu Yao retorted.
"That's the same, why didn't I see it when you said I was in the mall that day!" Su Qiqiyi slapped his thigh, "Otherwise, the master would have taken him in a long time ago." β
"Sir, you didn't show weakness when you ran up that day." Lu Yao laughed and taunted him.
"If you don't tear down the stage, you'll die." Su Qiqi stood up with the basin and winked at Lu Yao.
"Is the person who was killed by my brother here now?" Li Zhe suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes, in my gourd." Su Qiqi took out the jade gourd.
"Can I talk to that shadow?"
"You talk, talk to the gourd, I'm not sure if he can hear it."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know how to get him out." Su Qiqi took the basin and walked to the corner to pour water.
"By the way, will something happen to the black shadow in the gourd for a long time?" Lu Yao asked.
"I don't know." Su Qiqi shrugged.
"No, this jade gourd can only be collected, not dissolved." Li Zhen said.
"Do you know how to release it?" Lu Yao asked.
"This kind of close-fitting magic weapon is generally instructed by the owner's most urgent state of mind when encountering danger, such as who you will think of first in danger."
"When he collected the black shadow, he shouted that Master saved me." Lu Yao glanced at Su Qiqi, who was sullen and standing aside.
"Then you can try again what else you want for your master." Li Zhe suggested.
"I'm the boss of Master's opinion." Su Qiqiyi sat on the steps, "I..."
"It's a will, not an opinion!" Lu Yao interrupted him helplessly.
"My greatest wish is that Master can take me back to Master's Door." Su Qiqi looked at the jade gourd around his neck.
"No response?" He looked up.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Yao asked, "For example, Master, I love you or something?" β
"Don't be disgusting."
Su Qiqi hugged his arms.
"What? Don't you love your master? Lu Yao pouted.
"How can a big man put love and love on his lips, and he is not a woman."
"How do you know if you don't try, maybe you're not even as good as a woman." Lu Yao grimaced at him.
"You guy..."Su Qiqi was about to go crazy.
"I think you can try." Li Zhe said solemnly.
"What?"
"Let's try it, Li Zhedu has spoken." Lu Yao held back a smile.
"You two are making fun of me, aren't you?" Su Qiqi jumped up and held the jade gourd on his chest, "I still don't believe it, what if you say it?" Isn't it time to compensate me for my mental damages? β
"Your spirit is already very lost, you should hurry up!" Lu Yao urged.
"If not, I'll give you my personal jade pendant." Li Zhe stared at Su Qiqi seriously, which made Su Qiqi feel that he was not confident enough.
"Okay, I don't want your jade pendant, I just want to prove that I'm not a woman!" Su Qiqi held the jade gourd and said, "Master! I... I..."
"What are you, hurry up." Lu Yao looked like she didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement.
"Master, I love you!"
A white light flashed, and a black mist came out of the gourd, and the next second the black shadow looked at the courtyard.
Lu Yao looked at Li Zhe, Li Zhe's face was expressionless, and then at Su Qiqi, he seemed to be out of his body and looked sluggish, and she looked at the black shadow with an unknown face.
Silence, awkward silence, silence that crows flew over in the sky and couldn't dissolve.
"Uh, what's the matter?" The silence was broken by a dark shadow.
Su Qiqi didn't answer, he still stood there blankly, and his posture didn't even change.
Li Zhe had an expression that was none of my business, and Lu Yao sighed and held back a smile.
"This one is looking for you, he is the cat who saved you that day." Lu Yao introduced.
"Thank you, thank you..."
"Don't thank me." Li Zhe said: "If I had gone one step earlier, you would not have died at all. β
"No, it's all my life, I don't blame you, I don't blame you." The shadow shook his head.
After this guy died, his temper and temperament seemed to have changed! Lu Yao looked at the black shadow and thought to herself.
"I want to ask you, were you born in the middle of the day?" Li Zhen asked.
"Yinshi? I don't know, I gave birth at 4 a.m. anyway. The shadow replied.
"Oops!" Li Zhen said.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yao asked curiously.
"If he is born and dies when he is in Yin, it means that my junior brother's demonic nature has increased greatly."
"Demonic? Hasn't he completely lost his mind now? Lu Yao asked.
"In the early days, the Spirit Soul Gate was driven by demonic power, and after absorbing the souls of a hundred ordinary people from the Blue Devil to the Red Demon, he could become a Red Demon by eating a person with the same birthday as the Underworld."
"It seems that he has enough cannibalism now, and he has started to hunt and kill human sacrifices, once he becomes a red demon, the sealing technique used by our Cat Clan to punish traitors will not work against him." Li Zhen said.
"In other words, we're in a passive position now?" Lu Yao said: "No wonder he has been desperate to find the black shadow since then." β
"He didn't want to make progress when he was in the Royal Cat Clan, and he always wanted to cultivate a shortcut to reach the sky one step at a time, but after all, he went astray." Li Zhen shook his head.
"The human sacrifice is not easy to find, presumably he took away the security guard, just to wait for the rabbit there, he has been staring at the black shadow for a long time, even if you don't come out that day, I'm afraid the black shadow will not be long in life."
"Then we have to catch him before he becomes a Red Devil, or it will be very troublesome."
"Is there anything you can do?" Li Zhen asked.
"Take him and lead him." Lu Yao pointed to the black shadow standing aside.
"No, it's dangerous." Li Zhe disagreed.
"But..."Lu Yao still wanted to explain.
"Don't you know that there is a saying that you can't give up a child and can't trap a wolf?" Su Qiqi, who was still like a statue just now, suddenly came to life, "Isn't it cost-effective to exchange a dead person for a living person?" β
"Do those who die deserve to be scattered?" Li Zhen asked: "If the black shadow is devoured by him, I don't know how many more living people will die!" β
"Alright, alright." Lu Yao hurriedly blocked between them, "We will ensure his safety, it is not quite easy for you to deal with your junior brother now, and even if you miss, we can put him in the gourd." β
"If he doesn't subdue him again, he will definitely harm people, and if he gets another human sacrifice, it will be even more difficult to arrest him!"
"That's it!" Su Qiqi agreed.
Li Zhi was silent for a moment and nodded.
"I can do bait, but can I do one thing first." The Shadow asked.
"What's the matter?" Lu Yao turned her head and asked.
"I want to meet my girlfriend." The dark shadow said sullenly.
"It's easy to do, you're a ghost now, and it's easy to get in and out of anywhere." Su Qiqi said.
"No, he's too dangerous!" Lu Yao said.
"I'll go with him." Li Zhi said: "I can protect him. β
He had always felt guilty that he had failed to save the Shadow.
"I'll go too, though I probably won't be of much help." Lu Yao said.
"In that case." Su Qiqi pursed his lips, "Then I'll go with you." β
"You just keep guard at the door of the detention center, but my junior brother won't dare to go there." Li Zhen said.
"Let's go now." Lu Yao suggested, "It's really the second half of the night, and it's the dead of night." β
"Have you ever considered me, yours will either turn into a cat or teleport, and I'll have to walk over there." Su Qiqi protested.
"You put the black shadow into the gourd first, and we'll go with you." Li Zhen said.
"Okay, okay." Su Qiqi reluctantly took the black shadow in.
"I said, Li Zhe, do you know if this password can be changed? I can't stand it..."
"I have to ask your master about this." Li Zhen replied lightly.
"I'm a big man, it's a shame to either ask Master to save me or to say Master I love you!" Su Qiqi cried with a sad face.
"I'd rather use that not-so-bright gossip mirror!"
"Let's go, it's better to be ashamed than to lose your life." Lu Yao stuffed the book into his arms, "Help me hold it, I don't want to be seen floating in the air anymore!" β
