Chapter 120 Jinjiang Literature City First Release

The woman recalled repeatedly and finally confirmed, it was still the same explanation.

Bai Li looked at the fading dark aura on her body and pondered her words...

A bold guess gradually took shape in his mind, but that guess still needed more verification.

The woman bought an annual card at the cat café, and because she was happy, she opened a can of meat for all the kittens in the café.

“What about that white little kitten?”

The woman held the can and asked Bai Li: “I saved one for him.”

Bai Li didn’t eat canned food.

He shook his head and told the woman: “That kitten doesn’t like canned food.”

“What does he like to eat?”

“He likes to eat human food,” Bai Li said, emphasizing: “He’s the only cat like that; the other cats in the café all eat cat food.”

Normally, little kittens, except for the local stray cats, cannot be fed salted human food.

The woman listened to Bai Li’s explanation, not sure if she believed it, but in any case, she didn’t insist on feeding the kitten canned food.

That night, the woman stayed at the café for a long time, smiling all along.

The cats lay down letting her pet them, acting cute and spoiled to get canned food.

Until closing time, someone pushed open the door.

“Hey.”

Bai Li was surprised to see who came in: “Jin Jin, weren’t you with my brother Bai Liu?”

Jin Jin was wearing the new clothes bought yesterday, looking more energetic overall.

“Bai Liu is busy in the lab and can’t make time, so I came out to buy some things.”

“You should hurry back,” Bai Li worried about his safety: “What if the people trying to catch you come again...”

“No problem.”

Jin Jin smiled slightly: “Bai Liu gave me some things for self-defense.”

Hearing that, Bai Li felt a bit relieved.“Are you off work? We can go back together,” Jin Jin asked him proactively.

Bai Li hesitated.

“I want to look for the dog.”

“I’ll go with you,” Jin Jin said without hesitation.

Bai Li didn’t agree: “It’s dangerous outside. You’d be safer staying with my brother Bai Liu.”

While they were talking, Xie Chen, who rarely got off work at this time, showed up.

Seeing this, Jin Jin immediately tactfully stepped aside and stopped disturbing them.

“Sir, you’re off work.”

“Yes.”

Xie Chen rubbed his hair: “Shall we go back?”

“The dog still hasn’t been found.”

Mentioning this, Bai Li looked a bit worried: “Hei Ge has been searching these past two days but just can’t find it.”

Hearing this, Xie Chen gave a suggestion: “How about letting Lang He know? Let him help.”

The tracking wolf is good at tracking people and things, with a keen nose. Rather than searching aimlessly, better to let the wolf cub handle it.

“Okay.”

Bai Li nodded, thinking this was a good plan.

“Then we should go find Lang He early. If we delay any longer, I’m afraid something will happen to the dog.”

“Mm.”

Having decided, Xie Chen immediately arranged the schedule.

Jin Jin didn’t say anything but waited until they looked over before cooperating and talking with them.

“I’ll take Li Li to Bai Liu,” Xie Chen said, holding Bai Li’s hand and speaking to Jin Jin.

Jin Jin didn’t refuse; he lowered his eyes and said, “Okay.”

Not long after,

Jin Jin was smoothly sent back. Sitting in the back seat, looking out the window at a certain moment, he saw something unknown to Bai Li and showed a slightly provocative smile toward the outside.

Trash, you still can’t catch me.

Mockery flashed in his eyes, and the smile at his lips quickly disappeared.

After sending Jin Jin back, Xie Chen and Bai Li immediately went to the address given by Lang He.

Because they were prepared, their speed was very fast.That night, they entered the mountain.

When Bai Si came to treat Old Master Lang’s illness, he left his contact information.

Before Xie Chen arrived, he called Old Master Lang in advance.

The old master knew their purpose and was very welcoming. After all, the old master’s illness was treated by Bai Li’s brother, Zuo Yao, and the old master was very grateful.

Here, they all entered the mountain together.

City A.

A city that had been peaceful for many years suddenly had several brutal cases discovered one after another.

The witness was a black-footed cat.

The black-footed cat, whether looking for food or for some other reason, ran into the butcher’s workspace. There, it just saw a human corpse inside.

The black-footed cat ran out meowing loudly, attracting the attention of neighbors and passersby.

Then...

The police rushed over.

The black-footed cat acted like a little detective and found several more incidents.

Such a series of linked cases received high attention from the police.

At the same time,

A team of special personnel entered the police chief’s reception room.

Leading the special personnel was a tall woman in uniform.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with phoenix-shaped eyes that were charming yet sharp, exuding a strong aura. Her posture sitting in the chair inexplicably reminded people of a queen.

The chief had long heard of her reputation, so upon seeing her seated, he personally brought her a cup of water.

“Sister Bai—”

“Chief, you’re too polite. Just call me Bai Rong,” she replied, taking the water but not drinking it, just swirling it in her hands.

Hearing her voice, the chief nearly momentarily spaced out.

This woman...

The chief couldn’t help but wonder how someone like her would be willing to do this kind of work, with its exhausting training and constant great risks.

“I heard the bodies were found. Can you take me to see them?”

Bai Rong smiled faintly: “I suspect the killer in these cases is an old acquaintance of mine.”

At these words, the chief tensed up completely.Who doesn’t know? Bai Rong’s old acquaintances are all notorious troublemakers.

“Come, I’ll take you to the forensic doctor.”

The chief led the way, and Bai Rong’s subordinates followed willingly without needing orders.

However, the others didn’t enter the forensic room—only Bai Rong and the chief went in.

Inside the forensic room,

Bai Rong gently pinched the blackened, damaged corner of the victim’s clothing, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

“These were done by the people I’m looking for.”

Bai Rong made a judgment: “They came to City A, probably stayed too long, so they became irritable and committed murders to vent their anger.”

“I’ll deal with these troubles as soon as possible.”

Bai Rong’s words were a boost to the chief: “Then I’ll be counting on you going forward.”

“Not a problem.”

Bai Rong smiled at him and left with her team.

Outside,

Bai Li sat in the car. Besides a trusted aide by her side, everyone else was in another vehicle.

She took out her phone and called her older brother, who she hadn’t contacted for a long time.

“I’ve arrived in City A.”

“Unfortunately, Li Li just left.”

“...”

The woman in the car raised her hand to rub her temple: “Forget it, I’ll deal with these troubles first.”

Since the little darling was living in City A, Bai Rong narrowed her eyes, deciding she had to hurry and eliminate the threats from City A.

In the mountain,

Bai Li was crouching on the ground, looking at the dog lying in front of her.

No, it was a tracking wolf.

“Lang He, are you really a wolf cub?” Bai Li reached out and poked him, still finding it hard to believe.

Lang He held her finger, whining softly: “I am a wolf!”

Bai Li sincerely said: “I almost didn’t realize.”

If not for Fourth Brother telling her, she’d still think this was a stupid dog.

The wolf cub dragged Bai Li, insisting on taking him to play.Just right, Bai Li was also interested in this mountain.

Xie Chen and Old Master Lang were talking in the room. Bai Li, with the wolf cub, walked over and said to Xie Chen,

“Sir, I want to go out and take a look.”

Old Master heard this and smiled: “Go ahead, the scenery on the mountain is nice. At this time, there are also special winter fruits. Lang He, go pick some for Li Li.”

“Howl.”

Okay!

After sending them off, Old Master looked back at Xie Chen, his smile replaced by seriousness.

“Mr. Xie, Lang He didn’t make a mistake. You really are not human.”

Although Xie Chen had already mentally processed this news beforehand, hearing the firm “you’re not human” still made his mood complicated.

“If I’m not human, then what am I?”

One answer almost slipped out, but to be absolutely sure, Old Master said cautiously, “I’ll check the records again.”

Xie Chen nodded but didn’t forget to remind him, “This time I came is to ask for your help to find two people.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t take long.”

Old Master, leaning on his cane, led him toward the study.

The study of the Wolf Clan looked small but had a built-in folding function inside.

Xie Chen glanced at his cane and hesitated to ask, “Your leg?”

“My leg is fine.”

Old Master laughed heartily, “Lang He made this for me. He said other old men use this.”

Xie Chen: “...”

Sending a cane to help his grandfather with mobility, this wolf cub really is filial.

Old Master seemed to see his thoughts and added with a smile, “The day I got this cane, I even hit him with it. You wouldn’t believe it, this cane is quite useful for hitting a wolf cub.”

Now he walks with the cane purely because it’s convenient to teach his grandson a lesson.

The study was full of books like an endless sea of smoke.

Old Master pointed to a chair: “You sit here for a while. When I find the results, I’ll tell you.”

“Okay.”

After seeing him sit down, Old Master continued walking forward.

From the information the wolf cub told him and his personal impression of Xie Chen, the answer he vaguely came to was pretty much what he had guessed.Xie Chen, he was neither human nor demon.

But also neither god nor devil. To be precise, he seemed to be the one recorded in the books as originally a god, but for various unknown reasons...

This god fell into demonic possession.

Later, he became an unspeakable taboo.

Old Master’s expression didn’t show it, but in reality, when he thought about what was recorded in the books—the temperament and the crimes committed by this being—

The name of the crime was unclear, but it certainly wasn’t a small matter.

Sigh.

Old Master sighed softly. If it really was that one, he didn’t hope that the other side would truly “awaken.”

In a certain corner of the mountain.

Bai Li had transformed back into a cat, sitting on the wolf cub’s back, claws tugging at the wolf’s fur, with small determined eyes looking straight ahead.

“Meow-ow!”

Run faster.

The wolf cub, having received the order, happily continued running forward.

The mountain was big. The wolf cub brought the kitten out but after just a few steps, the kitten became the wolf cub’s mount.

The snowy white kitten ball sat on the wolf cub, feeling very majestic.

One wolf cub, one kitten cub, wandering wildly in the wind across the mountain. Meows and howls echoed in the valley, startling a flock of sparrows perched on the branches.

“Li Li, there are winter fruits ahead. Can you climb trees? We can climb up and pick them.”

“Yes!”

The little kitten replied, “Put me down, I’ll climb the tree.”

“Howl.”

So it was done.

A few minutes later, the little kitten swiftly climbed up, proudly meowing from the tree.

However—

Twenty minutes later.

The little kitten hugged the branch weakly and meowed, “Lang He, I think I don’t know how to get down.”
