What it's like to have a talking cat.

"How many times have I said it, I'm a divine beast, serve me well, and I won't treat you badly."

"Skills? Isn't it already given to you? We'll know the rest when you contract a second beast. ”

"Don't worry, if I cultivate to eight tails, I will fulfill one of your wishes."

This is the contract beast of dust.

Everyone said that the Dusty Beast was just an ordinary jungle cat.

But the cat herself said that her name was Jiu'er, and she was a noble divine beast nine-tailed civet cat.

It's still a juvenile, so it only has one tail.

Jiu'er's whole body is snow-white, compared with ordinary jungle cats, there is nothing special, except that she can speak.

Sometimes Chen'an is also wondering if he is too lonely after crossing over, and he has schizophrenia, not the cat talking, but he himself is talking to himself.

This is the eleventh year that Chen'an has been in this world.

The other world was originally dominated by royal beasts, but after the technological blowout, the status of thermal weapons and prosthetic transformation has gradually risen.

The original owner of the body had no father or mother, and he took over the body after the seven-year-old starved to death on the streets.

"Dusty, what are we going to eat tonight?" Jiu'er leaned on Chen'an's shoulder, playing with the hat on his head with her little paws

"When there's a lot of people, I want you to go back to the Beast Badge for a while." Dusty picked a fish, a piece of chicken, and a few potatoes from the shelves.

"It's dark and cold, so I'm not going." Jiu'er twisted her head to the side.

After signing a contract with the pet beast, the beast master will use his spiritual power to condense the beast badge, and the pet beasts usually stay inside.

But Jiu'er is very special, since the contract, he has never been to the Beast Badge.

Skirt the bustling streets and go down the stairs.

This is the only way for Chen'an to go home every day.

The old staircase divides the Kumamoto district of Moonless City into two worlds.

While singing and dancing, enjoy the convenience of life brought by the most cutting-edge technology.

On the other hand, it is dilapidated, crime is frequent, and the poor are here to survive.

For Kumamoto Ward, slums are a disgrace.

But Chen'an likes it very much, after all, the slums in the eyes of the big people give him a place to stay.

Chen'an walked to his warehouse, pressed the key, and the roller shutter door slowly rose.

Jiu'er, who had been lying on his shoulder, suddenly stood up and stared at the warehouse in front of him.

"There's someone in there!"

Dusty understood it, he took out a dagger from his waist to defend himself, and dodged to the wall.

With the sound of metal clashing, the roller shutter door opened completely.

Dusty poked her head out, and at a glance saw the silver-haired girl leaning against the wall in the warehouse, and the fragments of windows scattered all over the ground.

The girl wears a fiery red fox mask on her face and has a ** upper body.

She covered the key area with one hand, and pointed the dagger at Dusty with the other.

"Who are you!"

Chen'an was startled by the little girl, but quickly calmed down.

"This is my home."

The girl's shoulder was simply bandaged by her, and there was a medical kit from Chen'an's house beside her.

After confessing his identity, Chenan entered the warehouse and pressed the key to close the warehouse door.

Seeing the teenager's movements, the girl became more vigilant.

"Heal your wounds and leave quickly."

Chen'an's tone was flat, he walked to the stove and put the chicken and fish he had just bought on the board, as if he hadn't reached a girl.

In the slums, martial arts fights are common, and every day there are injured people and dead people.

He didn't want to hurt the girl, and at the same time he didn't want the girl to hurt him.

"Thank you." The girl grabbed the clothes on the ground and covered her body, and whispered.

Chen'an didn't reply, and began to deal with the ingredients for today's dinner on his own.

"If you have anything valuable, remember to leave some, count it as the money for window repairs and medical expenses, and forget if you don't have it." After a few moments, Chen'an spoke.

"I will." It's still as thin as a gossamer.

"Chen'an, do you think that this girl's voice is a bit like a demon spirit, even her hair is the same color!" Jiu'er jumped on the stove, and her two eyes, one gold and one blue, looked at Chen'an with excitement.

"I didn't pay attention, I think you're chasing stars and chasing stupidity."

It's hard to imagine that a cat, or a female cat, would like a human idol.

Jiu'er's favorite thing is to watch the live broadcast of demon spirits, and even their computer desktop is a demon spirit.

"If you look at this picture, even the body shape is very similar." After speaking, Jiu'er jumped to the computer and pressed the boot button.

"Who are you talking to?" The girl on the side made a puzzled sound.

"My cat." Dusty said without looking back, as if he was talking about a sparse and ordinary thing.

Only Chen'an could hear Jiu'er speak.

In the eyes of others, Jiu'er is nothing more than a white kitten meowing.

The girl glanced at the cat on the computer desk.

"I didn't expect you to know the language of cats."

Chen'an heard the girl's unconcealed laughter, and there must have been a face under the mask at this time.

He didn't care, after all, it was really strange to talk to a cat.

After a long time, the old computer of Chen'anjia was finally successfully turned on.

"Dust, look, isn't it very similar! Listening to her just now, I felt more like it. ”

In the eyes of the girl, the little white milk cat on the computer desk "meowed" a few times, and Chen'an, who was cooking, walked to the computer desk.

After the computer was turned on, a silver-haired girl in a white dress appeared on the screen.

The girl on the screen has a cute expression and her face is full of energy.

In the upper right corner of the picture, there are also two words written - demon spirit.

"Why don't you ask her if she can take off her mask." Jiu'er stretched out her little paw and pointed at the girl on the ground.

Chen'an picked Jiu'er up from the computer desk.

"It's better for us not to dig deeper." He whispered.

After seeing the photo, Chen'an can already confirm that the girl in front of him is a popular idol demon nine times out of ten.

But since the other party is wearing a mask, he obviously doesn't want them to know her identity.

In this case, Chen'an doesn't want to make extraneous branches.

After putting Jiu'er on the bed, Chen'an continued to turn his head to cook.

Jiu'er also understood what Chen'an meant, so she lay on the bed and stopped making noise, just secretly looked at the girl who was still dealing with her wounds.

"You're a fan of Wives?" In the end, it was the girl who spoke first, and she noticed the computer desktop early in the morning.

"My cat is."

The corners of the girl's mouth twitched under the mask.

It's not an unsightly thing to like idols, so why push it on cats.

After Chen'an cooked the meal, he divided the dish into two portions, one for himself and one for Jiu'er.

The girl finally healed her wounds.

She walked to the table, looked at the dishes on the table, and her stomach screamed.

The girl hurriedly slapped the money on the table to hide her embarrassment.

"The cost of medicine and window repairs is only a lot more!"

Chen'an looked at the banknotes on the table with some novelty, he hadn't seen banknotes in Moonless City for a long time.

"Thank you." After muttering, the girl turned to leave.

As soon as she took the first step, her face changed dramatically.

The girl flew up and threw Chen'an to the ground, scattering her freshly prepared meal on the ground.

Chen'an also realized that something was wrong, and took Jiu'er into his arms before falling.

Almost instantly, a violent explosion was heard at the door.

The smoke cleared, and a group of men in white uniforms appeared in the doorway.

"The people inside listened, all laid down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender!"

The next moment, the red light behind the girl is sheng!

By the time Dust had come to his senses, the people in white uniforms outside the door had been pierced by strange giant tentacles.

The tentacles still had hot human blood on their hands and returned to the girl's body.

The freshly injured girl instantly became weaker and fell to the bed, her heavy breathing could be heard from under the mask.

"Is this your pet beast?" Chen'an was a little unsure, because he couldn't see whether the tentacles were from the beast badge or the girl's body.

"Did it scare you?" The girl didn't answer directly, there was a tremor in her tone, apologetic, concerned, or uneasy.

Chen'an stood up from the ground and drew the dagger from his waist to himself.

"Remember to save some extra money, including the cost of cleaning up the site, and the cost of renting this warehouse."

The frightened and frightened girl expected did not appear, and the boy just calmly walked over to the corpse, gouged out the eyeballs in the corpse one by one, and pulled out the chip contained in it.

Jiu'er also jumped to the corpse, and she picked up a blood-stained yellow badge from the ground and placed it beside Chen'an.

"There's a Beast Master in there."

Chen'an put down the work in his hand and glanced at Jiu'er suspiciously.

"Collect it first."

Without any hesitation, Chen'an directly put the other party's Imperial Beast Badge into his pocket, and he completely trusted Jiu'er.

As the moon fell, the streets of the slums were eerily quiet.

People here never go out at night, and even if there is a sound of fighting outside, they never open the windows to take a look.

In such a quiet environment, Chen'an processed all the chips.

"They're the people of the Northern Bear." After Chen'an stood up, the girl suddenly spoke.

"I know, so I'm more careful." He dragged all the bodies into the warehouse and piled them up in an inconspicuous corner.

Moonless City has no government, and the rulers here are companies that have the most cutting-edge technology.

North Bear Technology Company is one of them, from law and order to justice, the company controls all aspects of Moonless City.

Chen'an walked over to the bed and dragged a rectangular lockbox from under the bed.

The sophistication of the lockbox contrasts sharply with the humble warehouse, which doesn't look like anything that would be here.

Chen'an skillfully entered the code and opened the box.

The crate contained two pistols, an unassembled sniper rifle, and an assortment of cleaning agents.

"You're a 'cleaner'?"

Seeing the skillful way in which the boy handled the corpse, the girl had already begun to suspect his identity, and now it was directly confirmed.

Chen'an took out the detergent and began to clean up the traces of life left by himself in the warehouse.

"It seems to have such a name."

The cleaner in the girl's mouth is not an organization, but the nickname of a killer or mercenary in Moonless City.

There will always be shadows where the sun shines, and there is always someone who needs to clean up the dirt hidden in the shadows to make the sunlight shine brighter.

Most of them do dirty work that big people can't come forward with, and slowly the nickname "cleaner" spreads more and more.

"Then just now, why didn't you kill me."

The boy in front of her was different from all the cleaners she had ever seen.

"Kill you?" Chen'an stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at the girl.

"No one paid me to kill you, and my cat loves you." Chen'an's expression was serious, and his slightly immature face looked unhostile.

The girl suddenly laughed, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"The next time you cheat on a girl, remember to think of a better reason."

The girl reached out and took off her mask.

The long silver hair tied by the mask scattered like a waterfall on the girl's shoulders, and under the mask was delicately like a doll's pretty face, showing a shallow smile.

The girl's fair skin exuded a faint glow under the reflection of the moonlight, and a pair of crimson eyes stared at the young man in front of her.

The girl's surprise did not appear, but the cat, which had been lying on the bed, suddenly jumped into her arms.

"Dust, look, I knew she must be a demon spirit, and I would never admit my mistake."

Chen'an just glanced at the face that was exactly the same as the computer wallpaper, and then turned his head to continue cleaning up the traces in the warehouse.

"Hello, get to know me, my name is Irene." Irene walked up to Chen'an with the cat in her arms and stretched out her right hand.

"Dust."

Chen'an shook the gloves on his hand, signaling that it was inconvenient for him to shake hands now.

"Look, look at it, the eyes of the demon spirit are different from the one in the photo, they are the color of rubies, so beautiful." Jiu'er's little cat's eyes are full of stars.

She is very happy now, not only being held in the arms of the goddess in reality, but also knowing the goddess's real name!

For the first time, Irene had seen someone as strange as Dusty.

She thought that Chen'an would be terrified when he saw his abilities and corpses all over the ground, but he didn't, and just dealt with the scene silently.

She thought that Chen'an was her fan, and she would definitely be excited to see her, but he didn't either, and still dealt with the scene silently.

Looking at the white kitten lying on her stomach in her arms, Irene even really believed that what Chen'an said was true.

It's his cat, not him, who likes her.

"Do you want to join my studio?" Irene threw an olive branch to Chen'an, she admired the somewhat indifferent teenager in front of her.

"Nope." Chen An didn't even think about it, so he directly refused.

"Do you want to think about it again, we have a good salary here, and we must be ...... than you?"

Before Irene could finish speaking, Chen'an picked up the fox mask on the bed and gently placed it on her face.

"I don't know any demon spirits, let alone Irene, I just saw a masked fox lady here tonight."

Irene froze in place, not knowing how to answer for a while.

The cat in her arms sprang out and jumped onto Chen'an's shoulder.

Jiu'er licked her little paws.

She is already very satisfied to see the goddess, and it is okay to work for the goddess, she really still prefers the demon spirits on the screen.

Irene put her mask back on, and she walked out of the warehouse, silently watching Dusty do the finishing touches.

After completely removing all traces, Chen'an walked out of the warehouse with the lockbox.

"Then Miss Fox, there will be no time in the future." After saying that, he took the note from Irene's hand and disappeared into the night without looking back.

Before leaving, Irene saw the white cat on Chen'an's shoulder also barked, as if to say goodbye to her.

She waved her hand towards the place where Chen'an had left, and the expression under the mask showed a little reluctance.

Resisting the urge to leave the boy behind, Irene tightened her clothes and left the warehouse.

"Is the dust safe......"

Dusty walked up the stairs and returned to the glittering Moonless City.

"How did it feel to meet your idol offline for the first time?"

"I feel like my filter is broken." Jiu'er lay on Chen'an's shoulder and sighed.

"It's still the demon on the screen that is more cute."

"After all, someone else is playing it for you."

After leaving the slums, Dusty found an inn with ease.

Lying on the soft bed, the nervous mood finally got a little relaxation.

After resting for a while, Chen'an suddenly remembered something, he took out the blood-stained yellow badge from his pocket and put it in front of Jiu'er.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, what's the use of letting me take it?"
