Thinking of this.
Luo Fang was a little impatient, and picked up the cat rubbing against his feet:
"Zai Zai, I think I can be a ghost exorcist again, haha, but I need your help. I'll think of a way to make you stronger."
"Meow~"
Whether it was Luo Fang's words, or the cats were attracted by his loud voice, the cats in the courtyard meowed at him.
In response.
Luo Fang smiled, already imagining himself with two cats on his body, followed by several cats, walking with great dignity to exorcise ghosts. The thought made him a little excited.
Inevitably.
He sighed:
"Mr. Zhang Wei can make cats exorcise ghosts. Just meeting him made my cats so powerful. Then the Hua Hua he raised must be even more powerful, I really want to see what kind of cat Hua Hua is."
...
At the same time.
Far outside Jin Guan City, Sichuan Province.
In Lusha City, in the backyard garden of a residential complex.
Due to recent renovations by the property management and the fact that it was high noon, there was no one in the garden.
However, a chilling scream was faintly heard from the depths of the garden.
"Ah!————"
The scream was not just one, it sounded tender, continuous, and numerous, as if not from a single child, but from several children. But upon closer listening, it didn't sound like the screams of normal children, but rather sinister and hair-raising.
It was a group of ghost infants and ghost children, numbering twenty to thirty.
At this moment, they were running wildly in the garden, their ghostly faces filled with terror, fleeing in all directions, trying to leave the garden.
However...
With a meow.
"Meow~"
The ghosts fell one by one. The meow sounded like the music of the underworld to them, a symbol of death.
The meow sounded.
A small and chubby figure, as fast as lightning, darted among the fleeing ghost infants and ghost children... In less than a few seconds, more than half of the ghost infants were dead.
"No, don't kill me."
Although the ghost infants and ghost children begged for mercy, and their appearance was pitiable.
However, the small and chubby figure seemed to know how wicked these ghosts were, and without any pity, it opened its mouth and tore at them with its claws, tearing and devouring these ghost infants.
This scene.
Was seen by the other surviving ghosts, who trembled with fear.
Outsiders might not know what this figure was, but they could see clearly that it was an orange cat, a cat spirit that had become a cat spirit after death.
Its appearance was chubby and round, with the cute physique of Nyanko-sensei from Natsume's Book of Friends. Even in its soul state after death, its cuteness was not diminished in the slightest.
However, the ghost infants and ghost children present did not find it cute at all.
Under their gaze.
The chubby orange cat, with ghost blood on its mouth and claws, appeared to them as a feline 'Black and White Impermanence', mercilessly harvesting their lives, leaving none behind.
They never expected.
That a cute orange cat would have such power.
Even though many of them had reached the level of red-clothed fierce ghosts, and one was even an outstanding among the red-clothed fierce ghosts, they could not withstand a few moves from the orange cat before being torn to shreds.
"How did it become so powerful?"
A ghost infant cried out in terror.
It remembered that not long ago, it was a member of a ghost force. Their force was composed of ghost infants and ghost children, and their leader was a ghost infant on the verge of becoming a ghost king, very powerful. It could be said that their ghost force was a rising star.
But all of this was shattered not long ago. The reason was that a newly joined ghost infant, in order to avenge the killing of an old lady, was discovered and killed by a ghost exorcist.
Then, the ghost infant leader wanted to avenge and kill the ghost exorcist, but not only did he fail to avenge, but he also had many ghosts killed by the ghost exorcist, and even the ghost infant leader was killed by an unknown terrifying ghost king.
They thought it was just like that, and they could still accept it. After all, the leader's force had weakened, but the others were still alive.
But who knew...
A cat spirit that protected the old lady, for the old lady's safety, had been pursuing them. During the time it was pursuing them, it had grown rapidly, its strength soaring like a rocket, from an ordinary red-clothed fierce ghost to almost breaking through to ghost king.
The growth speed was unheard of and unseen.
Now, with the cat spirit's pursuit, their force had suffered heavy casualties. Out of hundreds of ghosts, only this small group remained.
As its voice asked.
No ghost answered the ghost infant's question, because they were also puzzled.
At this time.
Perhaps its words caught the orange cat's attention, and it turned its head to look:
"Meow~"
It meowed at the ghost infant, then its chubby body leaped, very fast, and instantly appeared in front of it, biting it to death.
Not long after.
Looking again into the depths of the garden, the ground was covered with ghost corpses and ghost blood gradually dissipating into yin energy. Only a relatively strong ghost infant of the red-clothed fierce ghost level remained in the field, pinned to the ground by the orange cat's chubby meat claws and unable to get up.
It was at this moment.
The orange cat spoke, emitting a tender female voice:
"Tell me, how many more ghosts do you have, and where are they."
"None, none, you've killed them all. Please spare me. I won't trouble that old lady. Our leader is already dead, and we really don't dare to."
Mentioning the leader.
The orange cat's cat pupils flickered. For the old lady's safety, it had been pursuing the ghost infant force, its purpose being to ensure the old lady and its master Zhang Wei would not be retaliated against by the ghost infant force. However, during its pursuit, it was told that the ghost infant leader had died long ago.
When asked the reason, they all said that the leader was accidentally killed by a ghost king. And when asked who the ghost king was, none of them could answer, as if they were more afraid of that ghost king and dared not answer even in death.
However, fortunately, although the identity of the ghost king was not pursued, at least they knew that the ghost infant force was almost wiped out and had no ability to retaliate.
Then.
After asking a few more times, the orange cat Hua Hua killed the ghost. It shook off the ghost blood on its body and looked at the gradually dissipating ghost corpses with satisfaction:
"After working for so long, the ghost infant force has finally been cleaned up. Grandma and the others are completely safe."
In its words.
It happily added in its heart:
"I can finally go find my master."
However, just as it finished speaking and was about to leave with its little chubby paws.
As if sensing something.
Hua Hua's cat pupils suddenly sharpened, and it looked towards a dark, shadowy flower bush not far away:
"Meow~ Who's there."
Its voice rose.
The flowers rustled, and a person walked out from them. Regardless of their attire or appearance, they were all ordinary, the kind of person who could blend into a crowd and be lost.
If there was any distinguishing feature, it was that they wore old-fashioned glasses.
"Who are you."
Looking at the newcomer, Hua Hua was more vigilant than ever, its fur standing on end.
Animals already had a strong premonition of danger. After becoming a ghost, this premonition became even stronger. Hua Hua could feel that this person, who could see it, was powerful, at least much more powerful than itself, causing it to have an inexplicable palpitation.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not with those ghosts."
The old-fashioned glasses man smiled at Hua Hua, seeming to admire it, and sized it up:
"I didn't expect that just passing by a place, I would find such a powerful cat spirit. Your ghost age is not large, yet you can grow to be close to the ghost king level, truly amazing."
As he spoke, he glanced at the scattered ghost infant corpses:
"So cruel, you even tore the ghost infants apart. But I like it. Ghosts should be a bit cruel."
Before his words fell.
The next second.
To Hua Hua's astonishment, the old-fashioned glasses man asked Hua Hua:
"Such a powerful cat spirit like you, growing up killing ghosts in a place like this, is a bit of a waste. Do you want to join us?"
"Join you? Who are you?" Hua Hua instinctively asked.
In response.
The old-fashioned glasses man did not hide his smile and said:
"Sen Luo Si."
