Raven 12345's one sentence completely revealed her true nature. Hao Ren realized he could never expect to see this goddess of madness standing solemnly on an altar, compassionately lamenting all living things, and saying, "Let there be light." So he dropped all pretense of seriousness and went up to greet her familiarly. "Boss, I'm back from the Dream Plane."
"I know. You found a stable passage to the Dream Plane? I observed a distorted world-crossing phenomenon, but it didn't trigger any disturbances in the Dream Plane. I guessed you'd found the gate." Raven 12345 turned around. "Who knows how many more loopholes like this there are? It's really—what the hell is that?!"
Raven 12345 turned and immediately saw Cat Girl, "Roll," squatting on the ground and washing her face with her paws. With her piercing eyes, she instantly recognized her as a strange creature and was shocked. When Nangong Sanba heard the commotion, his expression became especially conflicted. He cautiously poked Hao Ren's arm. "This is..."
"This is the goddess." Hao Ren clenched his back teeth, then endured the twitching at the corner of his mouth as he introduced the two guests to his female superior. "The person beside me is Nangong Sanba, Nangong May's older brother. You should know about his situation. He's preparing to join us, so I brought him here for you to look over. As for this furry, unidentified creature squatting on the ground... she's 'Roll.'"
Worried that she might not understand, Hao Ren added, "She's the cat I told you about, the one I keep at home..."
Raven 12345 stared at Hao Ren as if he were an idiot. "Why did your cat turn into this?!"
"How would I know? If I knew, would I have come to ask you?" Hao Ren spread his hands
