Lu Zixun, leading the way, always had a strange feeling, as if someone was following them.
He glanced back subtly and saw no one on the street except for the four girls.
Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, beginning to wonder—could it be Gai Yue?
Looking up at the starry night sky of Lingchuan City, Su Nian raised both hands and comfortably stretched, "Ever since the school sent that notice, it’s been a long time since we’ve come out this late."
Hearing those words, Lu Zixun turned to look at Su Nian.
Seeing Lu Zixun seemingly interested in the school notice, Lin Siyin smiled and said, "It’s that disappearance case that caused quite a stir back then."
Mulling it over with a nod, Lu Zixun continued walking.
"Ding—Detected Liu Shishi’s reassurance value +500."
"What’s there to be scared of?"
Liu Shishi replied to Su Nian and pouted toward Lu Zixun, "We have Da Ju here. No bad guy would dare to come near; Da Ju will take care of him!"
Listening to the young girls’ conversation, Lu Zixun shook his head, without saying anything.
Taking a taxi to Qingniao University’s gate, that feeling of being followed still hadn’t disappeared.
Looking up at the pitch-black sky, Lu Zixun remained silent.
After paying the taxi fare, Liu Shishi, seeing Lu Zixun staring into space by the roadside, waved at him.
He shook his head at Liu Shishi.
After the taxi driver left, Lu Zixun finally spoke, "I still have something to take care of, you all go back first."
Hearing this, Lin Siyin frowned and checked the time on her phone, her look worried as she said to Lu Zixun, "It’s so late, be careful. Are you coming back later?"
After thinking about the address Si Han had given him, Lu Zixun grinned, showing his fangs, "Of course, I’ll come back. Home is where you are."
With that, Lu Zixun ran toward a place and soon disappeared from Lin Siyin’s view.
Liu Shishi, with a dreamy expression, held her face and muttered, "If Da Ju weren’t a cat but a man, with such charm, who could resist!"
Standing nearby, Gui Xiaomeng and Su Nian nodded in unison.
Hearing what Lu Zixun said, Lin Siyin, in a great mood, waved to the others, "Stop daydreaming. Let’s go, my Da Ju is just that heartwarming."
Running to the rooftop of a tall building, Lu Zixun surveyed the area, located the commercial hotel, then raised his paw. An Ice Blade shot out, and the sound of a balloon bursting echoed through the sky.
An Eye Worm, hit by the Ice Blade, wobbled toward the ground.
After dealing with the Eye Worm that had been following him, Lu Zixun deliberately took a detour.
Only after the feeling of being followed completely dissipated did he leisurely head to the commercial hotel.
Standing in front of the commercial hotel, Lu Zixun smelled the blood scent coming from above.
Turning on Magnetic Field Control, Lu Zixun floated up, only to see Si Han yawning while holding a phone, standing next to a man holding a sword, his face stern.
"Ding—Detected Si Han’s complaint value +2000."
"Ding—Detected Li Ajie’s curiosity value +8000."
Finally seeing Lu Zixun arrive, Si Han pocketed his phone, "Lord Cat, it’s been an hour, why did it take you so long to get here?"
Lu Zixun, who hadn’t sensed any malice from Li Ajie, landed on the rooftop and looked at the bodies of the abnormal creatures around him.
Lu Zixun’s tail rose and shook twice, "What’s going on here?"
Without answering Si Han’s question, Lu Zixun changed the subject.
Shrugging his shoulders, Si Han rummaged through his bag, pulled out a cigarette pack, and shook it towards Lu Zixun, "Want one?"
Looking disdainfully at Si Han, Lu Zixun tossed his head and looked the other way.
Seeing this, Si Han smiled, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a ring of smoke, "To be precise, I foresaw what they had foreseen."
This rather convoluted statement was not only hard for Si Han to say,
but also hard for Lu Zixun to understand; it took him a while to grasp the meaning.
Thinking back to the note Gai Yue stepped on in XS, Lu Zixun’s gaze deepened.
Putting out the cigarette, Si Han, seeing that Lu Zixun understood, tossed the butt away, "Lord Cat, I came here this time hoping... you could take my friend with you."
Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on Li Ajie, who instantly looked away.
Rolling his eyes, Lu Zixun showed some incomprehension.
Since he arrived, Li Ajie’s gaze had not left him, wondering if the man had some issues.
Yawning, Lu Zixun stretched lazily, "If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to sleep, oh... do you know any magic tricks that cats can do? I’d like to learn a couple."
Si Han watched Lu Zixun, baffled as to why a cat would want to learn magic tricks.
Pondering for a moment, "I can go back and specifically research some tricks for Lord Cat, but are you sure you really can’t take my friend with you? He’s a half-step S-level."
The refusal was on the tip of his tongue,
but Lu Zixun swallowed it back. Taking favors lightly was one thing, but more importantly, Lu Zixun remembered the activities organized by the student council.
"It’s impossible to take him; I usually sleep in the girls’ dorm, how can I bring him?"
Rolling his eyes again, Lu Zixun licked his front paw, "Besides, why are you so insistent on me taking him?"
Seeing Lu Zixun somewhat interested, Si Han organized his words and began to explain the ins and outs.
It was roughly that Li Ajie had offended some people who wanted to use abnormal creatures to kill him,
Si Han had calculated and found it was a scenario with certain death, only Lu Zixun’s arrival brought a glimmer of hope.
Throughout the process, Lu Zixun didn’t make a sound.
When Si Han finished, Lu Zixun’s whiskers trembled, "I think it’s too dangerous."
"Ding— Detected a loneliness value from Li Ajie: +8000."
"Ding— Detected a sigh value from Si Han: +2000."
Suddenly, Lu Zixun changed his tone, stood up and said, "Seeing how upright you are, let me know if there’s anything."
Seeing Lu Zixun agree, Si Han’s eyes sparkled with ecstasy:
"Ah Jie, you’re saved!"
When Si Keke had talked to him before, Lu Zixun already had some impression; a fortune-teller should not reveal the Heavenly Mechanism.
But Si Han’s actions today made Lu Zixun smell something fishy.
