History

Cheng Han first notices the wary stray near the Textile Factory. His Eye of Omniscience predicts that a Ghost Claw will strip the cat of its flesh and blood, leaving only an intact skin; he therefore captures her to investigate the threat further. 5 6

After Cheng Han obtains the Fragmented Imprint of Spirit Control, he tames the cat and names her Chief. She quickly becomes comfortable in his home, obeying commands while being allowed to roam outside during the day. 9 She is later known as Sheriff and develops from a useful hunting companion into a genuine partner in Cheng Han’s investigations. 12 21

Sheriff performs night surveillance on Qin Zi Cheng, patiently watches his home for hours, identifies the abnormal vine activity within, and reports her complete observations through Spirit Control. She later helps Cheng Han acquire surveillance birds and connected objects for further Deductions. 22 23 24 27

As her intelligence and supernatural traits grow, Sheriff recruits and commands local cats. Under the title Lord Black, she directs cat packs in hunts, reconnaissance, and covert operations, including the investigation of Tongshen Freight Company. 68 70 73 Her feline network eventually gathers information across Qinglin City, uncovering Dream Masters and supporting Cheng Han’s wider operations. 119 194

Sheriff develops an interest in life-element mystic arts and human transformation. She performs surgeries, establishes the Cyber Cult from modified cats, and ultimately undertakes Cheng Han’s painful transformation procedure to become a cat-eared girl. 293 351 688 708

Appearance

Sheriff initially appears to be an ordinary pitch-black cat, but her evolution gives her a markedly supernatural presence. Her fur develops a glossy, black-crystal texture, later bearing natural Profound Markings. 132 688

• Pitch-black coat; inconspicuous enough for nighttime surveillance. 22 27
• Sleek, glossy fur that later resembles black crystal. 132
• Exceptional balance, agility, and jumping ability. 107 128
• In humanoid form, retains cat ears and a fluffy tail. 513 708

Personality

Sheriff is intensely loyal to Cheng Han and is eager to carry out his assignments, whether hunting, spying, reporting intelligence, or leading the Cyber Cult. Praise, food, and Cheng Han’s petting are especially effective rewards. 24 70 377

She is observant, patient, and independently minded. During her first surveillance mission, she waits beyond the time Cheng Han instructed because she believes a later development may occur—and she is proven correct. 22 23 She also learns from Cheng Han’s methods, applying ideas such as elimination, paying subordinates, using tools, and timing attacks for maximum effect. 71 119 155 161

Despite her growing humanlike intelligence, Sheriff retains distinctly feline habits: she is proud of her achievements, dislikes unwanted touching, enjoys cooked food, and insists that her food bowl be washed. 21 38 70 132 Her morality does not always align with human standards; she finds Cheng Han’s cruel life-modification plans creatively interesting and performs an unwilling donor kidney transplant to save an old woman. 262 293
