36: Chapter 36: Cat Body Attack 36: Chapter 36: Cat Body Attack Zeng Haoyang, who was about to close the car door, stopped his movement at the sight of Lu Zixun’s bristling fur.
He looked at Lu Zixun with a puzzled face, “What happened to you?”
Lu Zixun, wanting to say that he’d found the trace of the Blood Worm Queen, brought the words to his lips but swallowed them back down.
He simply meowed twice and shook his head to indicate everything was fine.
Zeng Haoyang, this old fox.
If he mentioned that he’d found the Blood Worm Queen, Zeng would definitely ask for evidence, and Lu Zixun couldn’t just say that the system detected it.
Such an act of suicide, Lu Zixun would definitely not do.
Although he was quite puzzled, seeing Lu Zixun’s confused look, Zeng Haoyang shook his head and didn’t press further, simply closing the car door.
After the vehicle had been driving for a while, it finally stopped, and the drowsy Lu Zixun abruptly woke up.
Zeng Haoyang pulled open the car door, and the dazzling incandescent light shone into the car, causing Lu Zixun to squint subconsciously.
After saying this to Lu Zixun, Zeng Haoyang smiled and took two steps back.
Why did the old man’s actions feel somewhat eerie…
Muttering in his mind, Lu Zixun didn’t think too much, stood up, shook himself as a cat, and jumped out of the car.
As soon as Lu Zixun jumped out of the car, he heard the sound of bullets being chambered near his ears.
At the same time, dozens of murderous intents locked onto Lu Zixun.
Instantly bristling, Lu Zixun leaned forward close to the ground, his pupils dilated looking at Zeng Haoyang, using his body language to ask what Zeng meant by this.
Zeng Haoyang, with his hands behind his back, said indifferently while looking at Lu Zixun, “Just a routine check, a Parasitic Beast is not something the Blood Worms can compare to.”
Lu Zixun was very puzzled, but he didn’t relax his guard.
Instead, he became more cautious.
His wide field of vision constantly surveyed the surroundings, trying to find a passage to escape.
“Squat there and submit to the inspection, don’t try to run.”
Zeng Haoyang’s eyes stared at Lu Zixun, flickering with killing intent as he warned, “If you dare to run, I will treat you the way we deal with Abnormal Creatures.”
Seeing the look in Zeng Haoyang’s eyes, Lu Zixun knew the old man wasn’t lying.
Since he had been tricked into the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau’s hands, he could only make the best of the situation.
It’s not like he could run away anyway.
Straightening up, he sat down and licked his paw, “I say, old man, aren’t you being a bit too cautious?
I’m just a little cat, is all this necessary?”
“The smaller the creature, the more dangerous it is.”
After explaining, Zeng Haoyang waved his hand, signaling for three scientists in white hazmat suits to step forward, “This is just a routine check, not only for you but for myself as well.”
Lu Zixun didn’t quite understand that last sentence.
He didn’t feel like thinking about it anymore, and at that moment, the scientists had begun their inspection, and Lu Zixun casually lay on the ground, allowing them to check.
After one of the scientists touched Lu Zixun, a clear and pleasant female voice rang out.
At the moment the scientist spoke, a fireball appeared in Zeng Haoyang’s hand, his expression somewhat tense.
“This cat…” the research personnel hesitated before speaking, “is really fat, shouldn’t it go on a diet?”
No sooner had these words left his mouth than Zeng Haoyang’s face lost its tense expression.
He dispersed the fireball in his hand and couldn’t help but laugh and cry as he looked at the researcher.
As for Lu Zixun, his entire cat face darkened.
He looked displeased at the researcher, “An inspection is an inspection, why are you attacking my cat identity?
Did I eat your rice?”
The researcher shook his head, expressing his concern, “But being too fat isn’t good for cats, it can shorten their lifespan.”
Zeng Haoyang tried to hold back his laughter and interrupted the researcher seriously, “He’s not an ordinary cat, he’s fine.”
After a word of acknowledgment, the researcher referred to as Xiaoxiao by Zeng Haoyang fell silent at once.
The inspection that lasted ten minutes finally came to an end.
Lu Zixun lay on the cold floor, feeling dejected after being flipped and turned over by three people for ten minutes.
Even a person wouldn’t be able to stand it, let alone him, a cat.
“There are no issues.”
After the researcher and Zeng Haoyang finished reporting, Lu Zixun only noticed a pair of leather boots appearing in front of him.
Zeng Haoyang’s voice reached his ears, “Welcome to the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau.
Let me formally introduce myself.
I am the Director of the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau, and also the Deputy Director of the National Abnormal Creature Control Bureau, Zeng Haoyang.”
Lu Zixun, clearly feeling Zeng Haoyang’s change in attitude, looked up at him.
He said discontentedly, “Could you be gentler during the next inspection?
Zeng Haoyang, who had expected Lu Zixun to say something, shook his head.
He gestured to Xiaoxiao, who bent down to hold Lu Zixun in her arms, and followed Zeng Haoyang, who had turned to leave.
Entering an office filled with an ancient aura, Lu Zixun curiously surveyed his surroundings, still not understanding where he was.
Zeng Haoyang walked over to a floor-to-ceiling window and pressed a button.
The somewhat dim room was instantly filled with sunlight.
Squinting out the window, Lu Zixun was shocked to discover that they seemed to be quite high up.
Could it be that he had fallen asleep just now?
How he had suddenly come to such a high place was beyond him.
“This is the headquarters of the Chunhua City Abnormal Creature Control Bureau, though to outsiders it’s merely known as STO.”
After explaining, Zeng Haoyang continued, “Those Abnormal Creatures, after parasitizing, can read their host’s memories, so we have to inspect them.”
On first hearing this, it didn’t seem to be problematic, but Lu Zixun still felt there was something off.
He pondered for a moment before speaking up, “So bringing me to the headquarters for inspection was pretty much pointless.”
“I’ve already confirmed your identity, and as for the inspection…”
Pausing for a moment, Zeng Haoyang’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he calmly said, “It was naturally just to see if you possess controllability, in short, whether you can understand human speech or not.”
No matter how he heard it, Lu Zixun felt it was an insult, yet he couldn’t find a point to argue.
After placing Lu Zixun on the office desk, Xiaoxiao took off the protective suit she was wearing over her clothes.
The golden-haired and beautiful Xiaoxiao appeared before Lu Zixun.
“You’re pretty, miss.”
He looked up and complimented her.
Covering her mouth with a giggle, Xiaoxiao approached Lu Zixun, petting his back, “A cat sure has learned to be slick with words.”
“Now there’s a task that must be entrusted to you.”
