"So, that's what happened. Whether Luka City can be saved is all up to you now, Kail Meow!"
"Sounds like a hassle, meow. Don't wanna go, meow."
"I'll buy you cigarettes."
"Then I'm off, meow."
With a springing leap, Kail Meow vaulted over the high wall.
Xia Mei was worried. "Can we really leave everything to Big Sister Kail Meow?"
Of course they could.
Chen Feng thought his plan was absolutely airtight. First, the Hero of Magic was out plotting and wasn't home, while Kail Meow's level was too low to trigger the magical barrier. That gave them the perfect timing.
Second, using Great Beast disguised as seaweed, they had already located the imprisoned Hero of Clubs and confirmed that the jailer had the key. That gave them the advantage of terrain.
Finally, Kail Meow was a catgirl, with a cat's extraordinary hearing, reflexes three to seven times faster than a human's, and an innate silent-step skill. She would be very hard to detect. That gave them the right person for the job.
With timing, terrain, and personnel all on his side, Chen Feng couldn't imagine how they could lose.
But Xia Mei pointed at the Magic Projection Great Beast had sent back. "But Big Sister Kail Meow seems to be going the wrong way."
Huh?
Chen Feng was baffled. "Didn't I already tell her which way to go?"
On the projection,
Kail Meow swayed along, saying she was heading south while her feet faithfully carried her north.
It was as though Kail Meow's limbs barely knew her brain.
After a moment of bewilderment, Chen Feng suddenly realized what was happening. "It's the booze! That drunkard's so wasted she can't tell directions!"
There was no other choice.
Chen Feng controlled Great Beast, moving the seaweed in front of Kail Meow
