Chapter 52: Summoning Official Workers

"Wu~"

The strong wind howled.

Like the wailing of a fierce ghost.

In the late night, it was particularly unsettling to listen to.

Due to the excessively strong wind, the windows would occasionally shake, making a "bang bang" vibrating sound, as if someone was knocking on the doors and windows.

The black cat lay in front of the warm fireplace and let out a meow.

It disliked this kind of weather.

Cheng Han smiled and said, "It's going to snow soon. In a few days, the wind won't be so strong."

Based on past experience, during this period of time when autumn transitions into winter, the surrounding airspace of the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm would often experience strong winds.

After the windy days pass, the long and cold winter that lasts for five months will descend upon this small world covered in divine banyan tree leaves.

Cheng Han looked at a water cup on the wooden table and shook his head. "Actually, I don't like it either."

With his current strong vision, he could clearly see that the surface of the liquid in the cup was rippling ever so slightly.

The reason was simple - the Small Spirit Realm was constantly shaking.

However, the magnitude was extremely small.

Ordinary people wouldn't be able to perceive it at all.

Last year, Cheng Han was also completely unaware.

But now, after practicing the Nine Elements Body Strengthening Technique and greatly enhancing his physical fitness, his perception ability had also improved significantly, allowing him to sense such subtle changes.

At this moment, when he walked, he actually had a strange feeling as if he was stepping on cotton.

In short, it was uncomfortable.

Tonight, Cheng Han didn't want to practice the Nine Elements Body Strengthening Technique. He just wanted to sit in front of the fireplace and keep warm.

He couldn't even stand steadily, and his cultivation efficiency greatly decreased. What's the point of practicing?

At this moment, sitting by the fire, petting the cat, Cheng Han suddenly had a feeling of "enjoying his retirement".

"Pa!"

A piece of white birch wood burst open, bursting out a bunch of sparks.

The fireplace was filled with plenty of firewood, making the room warm, and even the black cat didn't dare to get too close to the fireplace.

Money was not a problem anyway!

Just burn it as you please!

At this time, most of the families living in Shanyi Lane could only endure the cold, and only a few families lit their fireplaces, but they were reluctant to burn too much firewood.

At this moment.

Cheng Han suddenly felt something and cursed under his breath.

There exists a mysterious connection between the black cat and its owner. It faintly senses the owner's emotions and curiously asks, "Meow~"

Cheng Han's tone was light, but his eyes revealed a coldness. "What I expected has indeed happened."

The black cat thought for a moment, stood up, and waved its paw. "Meow?"

It was mimicking the flapping wings of a bird, but it was quite amusing to see a cat suddenly make such a funny gesture.

Cheng Han nodded. "Just now, a flock of night owls that I controlled was completely slaughtered."

He paused for a moment and stated a number. "A total of thirty-six."

The black cat's tail wagged faster. "Meow~"

As the owner's most loyal subordinate, it was always ready to carry out tasks. Even though there was a strong wind blowing outside and the temperature had dropped to freezing, it was willing to go out.

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head. "It's too cold today, don't go out."

The black cat rubbed against its owner's leg and then lay down at his feet.

Cheng Han continued, "I got involved in... that matter. I controlled the night owls to appear multiple times, and the enemy couldn't have failed to notice. They will definitely target the night owls."

It was clearly stated in textbooks that the three major divine beings possessed unimaginable abilities. Ordinary people could refer to them as "divine beings," but it was best not to mention specific god names.

Due to his cautious nature, he didn't even mention the "blood of the divine beings" and instead used "that matter" as a substitute.

Cheng Han confidently said, "These night owl flocks have been staying in the city area. After the textile factory incident, I noticed that a few night owls were missing for no reason. It's probably the work of the authorities."

"But I've set up counter-divination measures that the authorities can't crack, so they won't be able to find me."

The so-called "counter-divination measures" referred to another sun in a different timeline. In this world, there were no stars, so the authorities naturally couldn't perceive it.

The black cat twitched its ears and listened attentively.

Cheng Han said decisively, "The culprit who slaughtered the bird flock is definitely a follower of the divine beings. Only in such terrible weather would these rats hiding in the sewers dare to come out."

It could be certain that the other party was most likely the so-called "God Descending Group."

Cheng Han asked softly, "Sheriff, we lost a bird flock. Shouldn't the culprit pay the price?"

The black cat raised its head and exclaimed fiercely, "Meow!"

Its meaning was: Kill them ruthlessly!

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head and instructed, "The authorities have many workers. From now on, whenever something happens, summon the authorities' workers, understand?"

"Meow~"

Another gust of strong wind blew.

"Bang! Bang!"

The doors and windows made continuous sounds from being blown.

Cheng Han sighed. "It's cold outside again. The Black Armor Corps will have to work hard."

He had never thought of taking action himself. Since there were authorities, why bother doing it himself? Moreover, the weather was so cold. Wasn't it better to stay at home and enjoy the warmth of a fire?

"Meow~"

The black cat flicked its tail.

Cheng Han muttered angrily, "My bird, can it move around freely too?"

He immediately activated the Spirit Control Seal, a pale blue ball of light that rapidly expanded and transmitted a message in an incredibly mysterious way.

Since he predicted that the enemy would target the Night Owl, he naturally prepared a countermeasure in advance.

As the "mysterious person" who had caused trouble multiple times, he had long been registered with the authorities. Anything related to him would receive the fastest response.

Sixth Outpost of the Patrol Bureau.

Lieutenant Liu didn't sleep well tonight.

The wind outside was too strong.

It kept him awake.

It wasn't because the room had poor soundproofing. On the contrary, the windows of the outpost's internal dormitory were all installed with double-layered glass.

It was just that Lieutenant Liu's mastery of the Nine Yuan Strong Body Technique's fourth form, "Listening to the Wind," was quite high. What seemed like a small noise to ordinary people was very clear to him.

At this moment.

There was a sudden noise from the window.

"Thud! Thud!"

The sound was very dense.

Lieutenant Liu turned over and grumbled, "Is it raining?"

This strong man immediately realized that something was wrong.

The sound of raindrops hitting the glass would never be so regular.

Lieutenant Liu decisively jumped out of bed and swiftly pulled open the curtains.

What he saw scared him.

On the other side of the glass, there were dozens of red dots scattered all over, constantly flickering.

This scene was very much like the rumored monsters.

In that instant, a thought flashed through Lieutenant Liu's mind: Did the monsters launch an attack on the outpost? Am I going to die in battle tonight?

"Thud! Thud!"

The knocking sound became even more intense.

Lieutenant Liu immediately realized that if it were monsters, they would have broken through the window long ago. There was no need to knock for so long.

Soon after, the red dots disappeared.

It seemed that the other party had left.

Lieutenant Liu took a deep breath and reached out to open the window.

"Whoosh~"

A gust of wind rushed in.

Lieutenant Liu leaned out and saw an impressive scene.

There were dozens of red-glowing dots floating in the night sky, vaguely forming an "arrow" pointing northeast, which was extremely clear in the darkness.

Despite the strong wind blowing, they still maintained their formation.

Lieutenant Liu blurted out, "The bird of the mysterious person!"

He was deeply amazed.

The bird of the mysterious person actually emitted light?

This person's methods were unfathomable!

Lieutenant Liu recalled a sentence left by the mysterious person, "Follow the Night Owl, it will guide your direction," and instantly understood everything.

Without a doubt, in the direction indicated by the arrow, there must be a follower of the Divine Cult.

"Thud! Thud!"

This time, it was a real knocking sound.

The shouts of his subordinates came through, "Captain, something big has happened at our outpost, you..."

Lieutenant Liu interrupted, "I've already seen it!"

As he put on his clothes, he muttered in distress, "When I get promoted to Deputy Commissioner, if the mysterious person passes on information again, won't others get the credit?"

In a forest several kilometers away.

A blurry figure opened its mouth at an astonishing angle and stuffed bird corpses into its mouth without even chewing, swallowing them directly.

In one breath, it swallowed more than twenty birds, which was not a small number, yet its abdomen remained flat.

At this moment.

A conspicuous red "arrow" appeared on the horizon, towering over three hundred meters. Since there were no tall buildings in the city, it was clearly visible.

What's more, the arrow pointed in this direction.

The shadow was stunned.

He immediately realized, "This is a trap! The mole knows that I infiltrated the city to catch birds and deliberately set up a trap to lure the authorities to hunt me down!"

He was both shocked and angry, "Among the entire 'Divine Descent Corps,' only three people knew about my operation. Who is the mole?"

The shadow suddenly realized that he couldn't trust anyone.
