38: Chapter 38 Master Gala Gemu

The sky, after all, did not collapse.

Wei Heng carried the cat away to the Research Institute; at the very least, he needed to go to the provincial capital.

After Wei Heng left, Lu Li looked at Fang Xun with great interest.

"Talk. How did you encounter this Remnant Beasts?"

This cat was disguised so well; it certainly wouldn't attack people casually.

If it couldn't suppress its ferocity, there would have been no need for it to turn into a cat in the first place.

"How would I know?" Fang Xun was also baffled. "I ran into it right after leaving Dongcheng University.

It started barking at me just from one look. Could I really be barked at by it?"

Lu Li's expression slowly became strange as she listened to Fang Xun's description.

"You fought a cat?"

"It attacked me first," Fang Xun immediately explained.

"It attacked first, yet it didn't manage to hurt you?" Lu Li raised an eyebrow. Although it looked like just a cat,

it was still fundamentally a Remnant Beasts.

A Remnant Beasts actively attacked, yet it couldn't even defeat a shut-in?

"I work out too, alright?" Fang Xun rolled up his sleeve to show off his muscles.

"I just grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, and it stopped moving."

"Fine..." Lu Li found this explanation acceptable enough.

It was just an accidental event.

After all, Fang Xun truly had no trace of special energy on him. It would be a miracle if he managed to beat that Remnant Beasts.

"Alright, the cat has been delivered, and I should be going too. See you later."

With the matter concluded, Fang Xun quickly slipped away.

He had woken up very early today, and now was the perfect time to go back and catch up on sleep.

After Lu Li responded, Fang Xun swiftly walked out of Lu Li's office.

But after Fang Xun left, Lu Li immediately summoned two more people.

"Xiao Cui, Xiao Wu, you two go stay near Captain Fang's home for a few days and watch for anything unusual. Report anything unusual to me, including a cat, a dog, a bird, or even a fly.

If you feel anything is off, report it to me. If you can't find me, find Comrade Wei Heng."

"Yes."

Accepting the mission, although it was somewhat strange, the two responded very seriously.

At the Special Affairs Bureau, no mission was too big or too small; every single one deserved their full effort.

Watching the two depart, Lu Li pondered while looking at the Magical Girl.

These Disaster Beast that had already taken human form had been lurking in the city for so long; why would they suddenly attack people?

It couldn't just be because Fang Xun provoked them, right?

Were they testing something? Or was there some other conspiracy?

Thinking of Fang Xun, Rui Rui then thought of Jiang Qin. A thought formed in Lu Li's mind.

"It is very possible that some of these Disaster Beast have been nurtured to possess intelligence comparable to humans.

Their probing of Fang Xun is likely related to Jiang Qin, and that Senior who remains elusive.

They dare not easily move against Jiang Qin, so they targeted Fang Xun. But why only use a single cat?"

Lu Li's thoughts stalled here.

She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint the issue.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Li closed off her thoughts.

Forget it; let Wei Heng's think tank solve the difficult problems.

On the other side, Fang Xun rode little blue, creaking his way home.

Along the way, Fang Xun was also thinking.

Was he being targeted? Or was there some other problem?

Moreover, Fang Xun had a very strange feeling the entire way.

It was as if no matter where he went, something was watching him. But when he looked in the direction of his feeling, he saw nothing.

Not even a cat.

Strange, very strange.

Fang Xun even deliberately searched around but found nothing.

As a result, a journey that should have taken half an hour ended up taking him nearly two hours to reach the entrance of his residential complex.

"This is truly bizarre."

Fang Xun clicked his tongue and greeted Old Man Wang at the entrance.

"Hello, Grandpa!"

"Hello, young man. It's lively again, which is great," Old Man Wang looked at Fang Xun cheerfully.

Fang Xun: "?"

What was Grandpa muttering about?

Everything felt bizarre today.

When Fang Xun finally got home, he felt it was even more bizarre.

His home was filled with the noisy sounds of girls.

Fang Xun: "?"

Fang Xun stood at the door thinking for a long time before finally pushing the door open and entering.

Once inside, he saw several girls squatting in his house.

Jiang Qin was busy in the kitchen, with Tang Xiaotang assisting her.

On the sofa, Shen Yue was playing a game, and she was playing his beloved gala game.

Next to Shen Yue, Qi Lian sat very upright, but as Fang Xun pushed the door open, Qi Lian had already looked over.

Fang Xun happened to see Qi Lian's eyes.

"Hi..." Fang Xun greeted the group awkwardly but politely.

"Brother is back!"

Among the girls, the first to speak was Tang Xiaotang's sweet voice.

But Fang Xun wasn't very receptive to this anymore.

This girl only looked sweet; if you cut her open, she would be full of mischief.

"Hello, Brother." Shen Yue looked at Fang Xun. Although she felt a bit shy, since everyone else called him that, she did too.

Qi Lian, however, watched Fang Xun, stood up, and only walked up to him before handing over her cell phone.

Fang Xun: "Eh?"

While Fang Xun was puzzled, Tang Xiaotang's voice sounded again from the kitchen.

"Brother, I got Lian Lian's contact information for you, okay~ Do you want to thank me~ Ah, Qin Qin, why are you pinching me?"

After being disciplined by Jiang Qin, Tang Xiaotang's voice temporarily disappeared.

Only Fang Xun remained, looking at the cell phone in front of him.

It was a friend request QR code; all he had to do was scan it.

This cell phone was the iPhoneProMax that Tang Xiaotang had given him.

Since Tang Xiaotang was skilled at flattering people, it wasn't surprising that she managed to get the contact information.

Fang Xun looked at Qi Lian again and saw a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Was this one of life's three great illusions?

"Ahem. I just said that casually," Fang Xun explained while taking out his phone to scan the code.

"Wait a moment, my Android is a bit slow."

After waiting a moment, Fang Xun finally scanned the code. A 'ding dong' sound came from Qi Lian's phone as the friend request was sent.

Just as Fang Xun was wondering if he should send an emoji sticker, another phone was handed over.

It was Shen Yue's.

"Brother, if you're adding her, just add me too. Otherwise, I'll look unsociable." Shen Yue glanced around. Everyone probably already added Jiang Qin as a friend.

"Okay... Then you wait a moment too."

Fang Xun's phone rotated a few more times, and he added Shen Yue as well with a 'ding dong'.

"Thank you, Brother." Shen Yue chuckled happily, greeted Fang Xun, and went back to playing Fang Xun's favorite gala game.

Listening to the sounds coming from the TV, Fang Xun was so embarrassed his toes curled into the floor.

Damn it, why was she playing Thousand Petals in Full Bloom!

You better be using the NS cartridge and not launching it on my computer!
