23: Chapter 23: Beasts in Human Attire 23: Chapter 23: Beasts in Human Attire “Who’s there?”
Jin Chacha, immersed in the soothing effects of chemicals, jerked upright from the couch, his face filled with fear.
“Diing—Jin Chacha’s fear value +100.”
Hearing the System Prompt Sound, Lu Zixun couldn’t close his mouth from the shock.
His cat mouth slightly opened, revealing his sharp teeth, looking like he had discovered a whole new world.
Now he could discipline this Jin Chacha and also boost his feeling value, killing two birds with one stone.
Hidden in the shadows, Lu Zixun started thinking about how to scare Jin Chacha.
After a while of not getting a reply, Jin Chacha panicked for a moment.
The chemical agent, now infused into his bloodstream, started taking effect; his eyes became glassy, and his body started swaying uncontrollably.
“Do you remember me?”
Hearing his own words, Lu Zixun felt terrible.
Even he could barely understand what he was saying, let alone expect Jin Chacha to comprehend.
Just as Lu Zixun was about to scare Jin Chacha with the Disguised Jack mask physically, the system’s prompt sound echoed in his mind.
“Diing—Jin Chacha’s fear value +100.”
“Diing—Jin Chacha’s fear value +100.”
“Diing—Jin Chacha’s fear value +100.”
“Diing—Jin Chacha’s Killing Intent Value +300.”
Hearing the last prompt, Lu Zixun’s pupils shrank, his cat eyes gleaming with a strange green light in the darkness.
Jin Chacha understood what he said?!
Why did it switch from fear to killing intent all of a sudden?
What was going on here, Lu Zixun wondered, his mind filled with confusion.
Then he saw Jin Chacha stagger to his feet, flailing his arms aimlessly as if attacking someone, mumbling all the while.
Bai Yiyi, even as a fierce ghost, why are you still so cowardly?”
“I could finish you off when you were alive, not to mention now that you’re a ghost; come out!”
The information laden in his words had Lu Zixun completely baffled.
He had thought Jin Chacha was just a rubbish star, but it seemed he was also a scumbag.
However, the name Bai Yiyi somehow sounded strangely familiar.
Lu Zixun moved back two steps to avoid Jin Chacha lashing out at him in his frenzy.
Reaching a corner, Lu Zixun positioned himself with crossed arms, his cat eyes full of contemplation.
“Heh, that’s what you get for not wanting to follow me, you deserve it, hahaha!”
Amidst Jin Chacha’s crazy laughter, Lu Zixun finally remembered who Bai Yiyi was.
He had heard Bai Yiyi’s music before in Lin Siyin’s room and heard she was a second-tier star.
Back then, Lin Siyin kept saying that Bai Yiyi’s music was good, only wondering why she hadn’t released any new songs for over two months.
At the time, Lu Zixun didn’t think much of it; new songs can’t be released all the time.
Besides, as a star, you would expect to wait until the buzz dies down a bit before releasing new music to increase popularity.
Now thinking about it, it seems it wasn’t that Bai Yiyi didn’t want to release new music, but that she had been killed by the man before him.
With this thought, Lu Zixun’s gaze towards Jin Chacha turned sinister.
The soft pads of his cat feet now bore flashing, cold claws, as Lu Zixun felt a surge of murderous intent.
“Diing—Jin Chacha’s doubt value +200.”
The moment the System Prompt Sound appeared.
Draped in the Invisibility Cloak and slowly approaching Jin Chacha, Lu Zixun realized that Jin Chacha, still wrestling with the air, had stopped and stood frozen in place.
“What a great opportunity!”
Lu Zixun, reluctant to use his superpower, was suddenly met with a glimmer of hope.
Just as he was about to kill this scum, in the next second, his cat claw abruptly halted.
Shaking his head, Jin Chacha murmured to himself, “I didn’t kill you, Yiyi.
I love you too much to bear killing you.
You’re just locked up by me, that’s all.”
Hearing this, Lu Zixun, who hadn’t quite caught on, suddenly stood up.
Seeing the orange paws peeking out from under the Invisibility Cloak, he quickly crouched down again.
So this guy hadn’t killed Bai Yiyi, he just kept her captive?
For a moment, Lu Zixun felt overwhelmed.
“Hehehe, Yiyi, I’m coming to find you now.”
Jin Chacha, with a lewd smile plastered on his face, staggered toward the study.
Seeing this, Lu Zixun tilted his head and slowly followed.
Rescuing her was more important than anything.
Anyway, Lu Zixun had decided to be the hero meow today, and now simply teaching Jin Chacha a lesson could no longer quench the hatred in his heart.
He needed to save Bai Yiyi and ensure Jin Chacha’s utter ruin.
Lu Zixun sneered in his heart, calling you a scumbag who doesn’t even act like a star.
Reaching the study, Jin Chacha went up to a bookshelf, fumbled around for a bit, found a vase, and began turning it.
After he had spun it around several times, the bookshelf opened to both sides, revealing a passage wide enough for a person to enter.
Seeing this, Lu Zixun was immediately shocked.
There was actually a secret chamber mechanism?!
If this was Jin Chacha’s first time doing something , then he, Lu Zixun, would…
To prevent the secret passage from closing, Lu Zixun, sprawled on the ground, quickly crawled forward.
He hadn’t gone two steps when Jin Chacha clapped his hands, and the dark chamber suddenly lit up.
The sudden bright light caused Jin Chacha to squint slightly.
Thanks to his cat eyes’ natural night vision, Lu Zixun had already seen the situation inside the chamber clearly.
A woman was chained up, her face utterly devoid of vitality, like a puppet, at the mercy of others.
“Yiyi, I’ve come to see you.”
His gentle words were chilling.
Lu Zixun couldn’t hold back any longer.
Tossing the Invisibility Cloak into the System Space, he launched himself forward and crashed into Jin Chacha’s waist.
Caught off guard by the sudden powerful impact at his waist, Jin Chacha was knocked to the ground.
Drawing in a sharp breath, Jin Chacha tried to get up from the ground, but Lu Zixun wasn’t about to give him that chance.
Five sharp claws extended, filled with Lu Zixun’s rage, and violently slapped Jin Chacha’s face.
If this guy couldn’t fall from grace, he would at least never want to rely on his face for a living again!
Jin Chacha, feeling a sharp pain in his face, covered it and screamed miserably on the ground.
Lu Zixun found him too noisy and, unable to bear it, used his superpower of Infinite Strength, stretched out his furry leg, and kicked Jin Chacha’s body, knocking him unconscious in one blow.
Bai Yiyi, who had previously shown no sparks of life in her eyes, saw a huge Orange Cat actually take down an adult man.
Shock appeared in her eyes as she couldn’t help but size up Lu Zixun.
At the same time, Lu Zixun also looked up with his cat head to survey Bai Yiyi’s surroundings.
He contemplated how to rescue Bai Yiyi.
