[Cat! Cat! Cat!]

Lost again???

Boss Lu frowned, his mind racing with thoughts.

What the hell? Is he provoking me?

Does he really not take me, the person in charge, seriously?

Of course, another possibility can't be ruled out.

The Rat Demon is a member of some mysterious demon organization. It somehow managed to abduct that little girl.

And then, not long after, this little girl was abducted by demons again. It's very likely because this little girl has something special about her.

Hmm, the logic is sound. It's probably not because they look down on me.

Boss Lu convinced himself, and his mood improved considerably.

Although it felt shrouded in mist, he knew that the immediate priority was to find the little girl.

"I'll be right there!" Lu Yibai said.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard someone calling him from outside the window.

"Boss, hurry down!"

Beside the old locust tree at the entrance of the bar, Lin Xiaoqi was shouting at Lu Yibai, riding a motorcycle she had somehow acquired.

It was obvious that Li Youde had also notified Lin Xiaoqi, but he had sent her a text message. He seemed to be always afraid of Sister Xiaoqi.

Lu Yibai didn't bother to ask Lin Xiaoqi where she got the motorcycle.

Because the answer would definitely be: "Boss, there's no time to explain, get on!"

A cliché...

So he chose to quickly go downstairs and then plop down on the seat.

Vaguely, he could still smell the faint fragrance from Lin Xiaoqi.

It was very comfortable, bringing a sense of peace to his heart.

But after only two seconds of peace, the motorcycle sped off.

Lin Xiaoqi's flying hair danced in the wind, whipping across Boss Lu's face!

Damn it!

This feels like playing Road Rash!

Most importantly, Boss Lu was too thin-skinned to take the opportunity to hug Lin Xiaoqi's slender waist.

He gripped the recessed parts of the motorcycle seat tightly with both hands, his fingernails almost digging into the seat.

The night wind blew, and the old locust tree at the entrance of the bar rustled. A few leaves drifted towards the direction where Lu Yibai and Lin Xiaoqi were heading.

In Qiancheng District 2, Li Youde had been waiting for a while.

He had a cigarette in his mouth. Upon seeing the speeding motorcycle, he quickly extinguished the cigarette and waved his right hand, dispersing the surrounding smoke.

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

"Uh... Hello, Sister Xiaoqi."

There was a difference in tone between these two sentences. The former was respectful, while the latter sounded like a lackey talking to a boss.

"Please follow me. We can talk as we walk," Li Youde said.

According to Li Youde, the little girl had been abducted by the Rat Demon once before, especially when the Rat Demon was still part of an organized group. The Assistance Department had been paying attention to the little girl's situation with assigned personnel during this period.

It was actually a form of covert protection.

The Night Watchmen organization had limited personnel. A city couldn't be managed by just a few Night Watchmen, so they needed to mobilize the power of the masses.

The Assistance Department wasn't just Li Youde; he was the overall head, with many people working under him.

And tonight, the two members who were covertly protecting the little girl suddenly fell unconscious.

They were not seriously injured, but they were unconscious, with a... lecherous smile on their faces.

Including the security room of the residential complex, the doorman Grandpa Qin inside had also fainted, smiling more lewdly than one could imagine.

Qiancheng District 2 was not a high-end residential complex, so the surveillance was viewed from the security room.

The strange thing was that before Grandpa Qin fainted, he staggered and turned off the surveillance.

The surveillance in the residential complex was not advanced; it could be turned off easily.

Li Youde didn't receive the night report from these two members and felt something was wrong, so he brought his men over and saw this bizarre scene.

He was very meticulous and even recorded videos of the two members' appearances to show Lin Xiaoqi and Lu Yibai.

The two big men were seen sitting in the car, leaning against each other, with smiles blooming:

"Heh heh, heh heh heh..."

My eyes! My eyes!

Li Youde had tried calling the little girl's parents earlier, but no one answered.

So, they entered the little girl's home.

This wasn't trespassing; to be precise, it was a special exception made for their protection.

As expected, the little girl's parents were also in a deep coma, clutching a teddy bear as if it were their own precious daughter.

The little girl, however, was gone!

Lin Xiaoqi glanced and said, "It's an Illusion Demon."

"All these people are immersed in an illusion."

Lin Xiaoqi was experienced and naturally wouldn't make a mistake.

Li Youde felt a bit agitated. He had dealt with many demon and monster incidents, but this was the first time he'd encountered one that targeted a single household.

We, the [Bureau of Deception]... Pfft! We, the [Assistance Department], are tired of cleaning up after the Night Watchmen, okay?

If their daughter goes missing twice a month, how am I supposed to explain that? Huh?

"Can they be woken up?" Lu Yibai asked.

It was clear they couldn't be woken by simply pushing them; special methods were needed.

"Yes," Lin Xiaoqi nodded. "But let's not wake them yet."

Li Youde, listening from the side, nodded vigorously, like a pecking chick.

It was better if they remained unconscious, as if nothing had happened.

However, the little girl wouldn't be easy to find.

Even with the city's entire surveillance system, it wouldn't be that simple in a short amount of time.

Wucheng was, after all, a city, and it was very large.

This was troublesome.

"Because she's so hard to find, we had to ask you for help," Li Youde said sheepishly.

Honestly, in most cities, Night Watchmen were like the "red pole" enforcers in a gang, the elite fighters primarily responsible for dealing with demons and fighting them.

But miscellaneous tasks, like searching, were handled by the Assistance Department.

These days, with so many high-tech gadgets, the Assistance Department was quite versatile.

If it weren't for the fact that some demons and ghosts were difficult to deal with using technology, like Fierce Ghosts, the Assistance Department could completely handle things on its own.

"Understood," Lin Xiaoqi said directly.

It was clear she had a way.

They walked out of the room and returned to the entrance of the residential complex.

"Boss, I'll be responsible for locating them. The Illusion Demon is all yours."

Before Lu Yibai could react, he saw Lin Xiaoqi close her eyes.

Li Youde wisely retreated to the side, keeping a good distance from the two of them. He then notified his assistant, "Seal off this area!"

There weren't many people out this late at night, but they had to be careful not to scare anyone unlucky or cause any accidents.

Lin Xiaoqi sat cross-legged on the ground. She wasn't delicate and wouldn't complain about the dirt at a time like this.

Usually quite lively, she was unusually quiet now.

Under the dim streetlights, Lu Yibai could see her slender eyelashes tremble slightly.

In this state, Lin Xiaoqi was truly captivating.

After a few seconds, her red lips parted slightly, and she spoke in a very soft, faint voice, as if from the depths of her throat:

"Meow~"

Lu Yibai watched her quietly, inexplicably feeling a sense of endearment.

Just like her codename, she really was a "Night Cat."

Across Wucheng, in countless corners, wild cats poked their heads out.

Even many domestic cats, if not confined, secretly slipped out.

Slowly, Lu Yibai saw cats of all kinds running towards them.

Black ones, orange ones, yellow ones...

Spotted ones, striped ones...

More and more, and more!

Cats! Cats! Cats!

It was all cats!
