39: Chapter 39: Must Have This Kind of Temperament 39: Chapter 39: Must Have This Kind of Temperament The entire space was adorned with firearms hanging on the walls, and on the tables against the walls there lay a pile of nets, electric batons, and such, which overwhelmed Lu Zixun for a moment.
“Does your fur have that kind of storage function?”
As she rubbed Lu Zixun’s fur, Zeng Xiaoxiao seemed to be searching for a secret compartment inside it.
Her curious tone immediately made Lu Zixun feel somewhat helpless, “I don’t have any fancy features like that.
Do you think I’m some kind of robot cat?”
After thinking for a moment, Zeng Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully, “You have ears, so it’s unlikely you’re a robot cat.
There aren’t many pieces of equipment you can use then.”
Watching Zeng Xiaoxiao speaking seriously, Lu Zixun jumped down from her embrace.
He leaped onto the table with the gear and pondered what he might be able to use.
“All these items are used for capturing Abnormal Creatures.”
After introducing the equipment, Zeng Xiaoxiao picked up a small pistol, “Can you use this with your paws?
It can fire nets to capture Abnormal Creatures.”
He took a glance at the small pistol.
It was indeed exquisitely made.
However, relative to Lu Zixun’s size, the gun was still too big.
After a moment of silence, Lu Zixun swept his tail over the pistol, “I could use it, but where would I put it?”
“You could strap it to your waist and play the role of the black cat sheriff.”
Zeng Xiaoxiao said, looking at Lu Zixun with hopeful eyes.
“I’m not black, so I can’t be the black cat sheriff.
Giving Zeng Xiaoxiao a blank look, Lu Zixun replied rather irritably.
Pouting her lips, Zeng Xiaoxiao, a bit disappointed, put down the pistol.
She looked around the equipment table, picked up something that looked like a button, and gestured with it towards Lu Zixun, “You should be able to use this thing.”
Standing up, Lu Zixun sniffed the button with some curiosity, “What can this tiny thing do?”
“If you press it with your paw, members of the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau nearby will get the message, and the headquarters will also be able to pinpoint your location for rescue.”
The button’s function seemed both practical and useless at the same time.
If he encountered an Abnormal Creature that could instantly kill him, then what good would calling for help do?
Lu Zixun, sitting down, thought it over carefully and eventually decided to take it.
After all, something was better than nothing.
He said to Zeng Xiaoxiao and stretched out his head, “Just hang it on my tag?
Will it break easily?”
As she tied the button onto Lu Zixun’s neck, Zeng Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “The quality is guaranteed…
Lu Zixun looked up at her with a dubious expression, his eyes full of skepticism.
Her lack of confidence made Lu Zixun rather wary.
“Alright, you probably won’t be able to use the rest of these things.”
Tying the knot and clapping her hands, Zeng Xiaoxiao checked the time, “It’s about time to send you to the Long Family now.
Long Ya is heading to primary school.”
Going to primary school wasn’t a problem, one couldn’t grow in isolation without socializing, right?
Yet according to Zeng Haoyang’s tone, it seemed like Long Ya was now targeted by Abnormal Creatures.
Lu Zixun didn’t know whether to say that the Long Family was overly relaxed or whether they simply had the power to be so.
Noticing Lu Zixun’s puzzled gaze, Zeng Xiaoxiao explained, “There’s a B-level Genetic Optimization Soldier lurking in hiding, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
“That’s not the issue.”
Lu Zixun shook his head, somewhat puzzled, “Why send Long Ya to school at a time ?
Wouldn’t it be safer to stay at home?”
His question made Zeng Xiaoxiao fall silent for a while.
She looked around to make sure no one was nearby and then hugged Lu Zixun and whispered into his ear, “Grandpa and Mr.
Long suspect that someone is in cahoots with the Abnormal Creatures, attempting to help them take control of Chunhua City.”
Upon hearing Zeng Xiaoxiao’s words, Lu Zixun let out a puzzled sound, feeling completely baffled.
The existence of such people was just mind-boggling.
Thinking Lu Zixun didn’t believe her, Zeng Xiaoxiao continued, “Last month, a meteorite fragment fell in nearby Lingchuan City, but when the system’s people went there, the fragment had disappeared.”
Last month, Lingchuan City.
These keywords caused Lu Zixun to startle.
Wasn’t that around the time he was reborn?
Could that meteorite fragment perhaps be his system?
Caught up in guessing, Lu Zixun didn’t respond to Zeng Xiaoxiao’s words.
Without hearing a response from him, Zeng Xiaoxiao looked back in confusion.
Seeing Lu Zixun looking dejected, she mumbled to herself, questioning whether cats were indeed capricious creatures.
Luckily Lu Zixun didn’t hear this comment.
Otherwise, he would definitely have snorted and retorted, “Women are the capricious ones, okay?”
They took the elevator to the underground parking, where two burly men in black suits stood by a car.
Approaching the men, Zeng Xiaoxiao flashed a silver badge, “I’m in charge of this mission.
This is the one we’ve dispatched to protect Long Ya…
As the men looked over, Lu Zixun stood tall and unconsciously hid his paws behind his back.
After a greeting, one of the hulking men paused before speaking, “This… is just a cat.
We hope this is some kind of joke from the system.”
The man’s skeptical tone made both Lu Zixun and Zeng Xiaoxiao frown unwittingly.
Barely containing her anger, Zeng Xiaoxiao said sternly, “The system doesn’t make jokes .
Please take this seriously.”
One of the men standing by the car chuckled coldly, “Isn’t the system’s attitude the problem?
How is a cat supposed to protect our Miss?
Confronted with such a situation, Zeng Xiaoxiao was unsure how to handle it.
She had never encountered anything .
After all, not all members of the Abnormal Creature Control Bureau were human, and the Long Family must be aware of this fact.
It seemed the Long Family was trying to throw their weight around.
As Zeng Xiaoxiao pondered her next move, Lu Zixun didn’t care for such formalities.
He transformed into the Orange Cat and with two swipes of his paws sent the burly men flying.
Who do you think you are to bully me?”
With a disdainful remark, Lu Zixun turned towards Zeng Xiaoxiao, “Ask the old man what’s going on, and could we please not deal with these snarky people?”
No sooner had Lu Zixun finished speaking than the tinted car window rolled down, revealing Zeng Haoyang’s face and his relieved smile.
“That’s the spirit you need to have.”
