Chapter 559: Chapter 492: What Bad Thoughts Can a Cat Have?

“Can I make use of the special magnetic field in the office?”

Old Wang was still quite concerned about this issue, so he asked again while the female journalist was taking off her clothes.

The reason he politely asked was primarily because the office belonged to the director of the orphanage, and he was worried that the other party would get angry if he modified it without permission.

They had just confird a partnership, and it couldn’t be spoiled by his recklessness.

Xu Shuo was indifferent, “Sure.”

It wasn’t his office anyways.

So Old Wang imdiately started setting up his Illusionary Array, and the female white-collar worker next to him didn’t manage to stop him in ti—she could only watch the smiling young man with an unspoken word.

...

It was at this mont that Xu Shuo’s expression suddenly changed, and his eyes narrowed slightly: “That was fast.”

The female journalist was fast, too; after taking off her uniform, she imdiately ran behind Xu Shuo and, clutching his desk nervously, said, “We had an agreent!

I can’t fight it off!”

Xu Shuo smiled, “How do you know if you’ve never fought it?”

Female Journalist: “???” Hey!

The next mont, a pitch-black figure leaped out of the void in the office.

Its blood-red eyes were fixed intently on where the female journalist was, and a ferocious and malevolent aura rushed towards her face!

The cat ignored everyone else and lunged at the female journalist with its gaping maw wide open!

Naturally, the female journalist wanted to dodge, but her body seed to be fixed in place.

She couldn’t control it to move at all and could only stand there with wide eyes in a daze.

Those blood-red eyes gradually enlarged in her consciousness, until they occupied her entire mind!

Suddenly!

The female journalist’s head was grabbed from behind, and then she was forcefully pushed down by a great force, her forehead “thump” hitting the desk.

The sound was loud, causing a pain for those who heard it.

Dizzy…

the staggering female journalist who raised her head was in a daze, and the quick-reacting female white-collar next to her supported her.

The cat’s wide-open mouth ca at them like a black hole, but Xu Shuo leaped onto the desk and with a spin, kicked it away.

The cat, taken by surprise, flew up and hit the ceiling, then dropped to the floor with a plop.

The gaping bloody maw it had opened up also closed, and the cat, shaking its head, got up, baring its teeth and glaring at him.

Xu Shuo looked down at the cat from a higher position, waved to remove his white coat, and pulled a fruit knife from his pants.

“Whoosh!”

The cat, as fast as lightning, leaped at him first!

Xu Shuo suddenly sidestepped, and as the cat ca close, he backhandedly struck with the fruit knife.

After a ringing sound from the collision of claw and blade, bloody streaks spilled from the air.

[One-Click Kill MISS!]

As expected, the attack missed.

Xu Shuo looked at the sharp cut opened by the cat’s claw, stretching from his elbow to his wrist, flesh turned inside out, blood flowing out.

The cat, after brushing past him, stepped on the wall without hesitation and continued towards the female journalist.

But halfway there, it abruptly stopped in midair and vertically landed on the ground, turning its head sensitively towards Xu Shuo, staring intently at his bleeding arm.

Seeing this, Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow: “Hmm?

Hungry?”

The cat kept a sharp focus on him, crouching slightly—a sign that it was preparing to charge.

However, the next mont, Xu Shuo’s smile lifted at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, he took the fruit knife and slashed fiercely at his carotid artery!

With a forceful cut, blood gushed out instantly!

The cat’s eyes beca incredibly fervent!

The four people in the office were dumbfounded!

Just when they thought this madman was about to feed himself to the cat, the cut on his neck and the wounds on his arm healed at an extrely fast pace until only a scar was left.

At the sa ti, the blood spilled on the floor was quickly enveloped by surging darkness, and in an instant, the room was spotlessly clean, without a trace of blood.

Xu Shuo spread his arms and laughed, “Hey!

Gone!”

Cat: “…”

Female White-Collar: “…”

Female Social Worker: “…”

The dizzy female journalist: “…?”

Old Wang: “Just now, the special magnetic field in the office disappeared, and I filled in the gap with my own Formation in ti, but it can only hold for another five minutes at most, you all—, …huh?”

While everyone stood there stunned, Xu Shuo, who was on the office desk, crouched down, the fruit knife piercing his fingertip, and a bead of blood oozed out.

He flicked the bead of blood off with an amused smile.

“See, there’s still one drop left.”

The cat, which had been poised to charge, upon seeing this—and perhaps stimulated by the sudden disappearance of the tasty treat—darted over in a flash, and the bead of blood was swept away in midair.

The cat licked its tongue and turned its gaze back to him, its blood-red pupils seemingly glowing with an intense heat.

Then, with a loud “ow”!

It opened its gaping maw towards Xu Shuo!

Xu Shuo, unaffected by its rules, held a faint smile on his face and jumped down from the office desk just as the mouth snapped shut.

The cat’s enormous maw clamped down on the office desk, and under the terrified watch of the female social worker, the desk was unscathed—and so was everything on it.

That gaping maw, like a phantom, passed through the desk but managed to lift the hem of a white lab coat.

It seed that nothing in the orphanage could be destroyed.

The cat, having bitten air, closed its mouth and turned its head towards the direction of Xu Shuo, then charged again, opening its vast maw!

Xu Shuo once again stepped back to dodge.

The cat continued its pursuit.

But it always missed by just a little bit.

The two engaged in an uninspiring chase around the office, while the other four, after watching with blank expressions for a few seconds, imdiately redirected their attention.

Old Wang said, “The office space was rged just now, and I quickly enveloped it with my Formation, which is why nothing happened, but it can only hold for another four minutes, do any of you have a solution?”

The female journalist interjected: “That madman once said that the cat’s status is equal to Yueshu’s, and besides the cat, the enemy we need to be most wary of is Yueshu.”

The female office worker was surprised: “So Yueshu is the Seal Item SOA-09 in the notebook, right?”

“That’s right.”

Then, with practiced ease, the female journalist said, “If you guys can hold off for a while, I can create extensive damage, clear the monsters outside, and give us a montary breather.”

“I’m aware of your Star Guild’s capabilities, helping to buy ti is possible, but I’ve also heard you often let your teammates die,” said the female office worker, her arms crossed.

“Under these circumstances, it does no good if you all died,” said the female journalist awkwardly.

Her high-damage ability had a long casting ti, so teammates usually died while trying to buy ti.

Old Wang frowned and said, “We’ve checked the back door of the backyard before; to leave we need a key or to pick the lock, and while we’re moving, Yueshu will probably make a move.”

“First floor.”

The female journalist suddenly said, “There should be weapons we can use to fight in the storeroom on the first floor; the Investigator had used them to fight throughout the orphanage, perhaps we can consider killing SOA-09 right here.”

Because they still needed to complete the main mission.

Rather than running away in panic.

As long as there was a chance, they would push hard to complete the mission!

After all, even if they didn’t complete the mission, they wouldn’t be able to trigger the ga countdown to leave this script, and they might encounter an air wall that would prevent them from escaping.

Fortunately, everyone was aware of this, so nobody voiced the foolish notion of fleeing the orphanage outright.

The female social worker, as if lost in thought, said, “If we encounter Yueshu, I can buy you two or three seconds of attack ti.”

“I’ll go get the weapons,” Old Wang said.

“I have abilities that can restrict,” the female journalist said.

The group had a serious discussion for quite so ti.

Finally, the female office worker made a decision, “Alright!

Old Wang, you lead the way, journalist, hold onto your big move, and social worker, watch out for Yueshu’s sneak attacks.

After all, he’s the one in control of the orphanage.

If he ambushes us, it’ll be hard for any of us to resist!”

“And what will you do?” the female social worker suddenly asked.

“…”

The female office worker said nothing but discreetly pointed her finger, making an obscure gesture towards the person in the office who was managing the cat.

Around here, there were still two lurking tigers posing a dangerous threat.
