Chapter 53: Insufficient Combat Power A Single Cat

  This time the noise didn't last long, almost just an instant, Jiǔ Mìng's eyes suddenly flashed... The scene changed!

  What's even more different is that this time the memories that should have been vague were unexpectedly clear. After sorting out my thoughts, I found that the difference was... he agreed to go play in Haruhi Suzumiya's world!

  It's a bit strange when I think about it, that vague memory doesn't seem to have this part, if it was important, then at this time this memory should have become very clear.

  Forget it, something's changed this time, let's get to the bottom of things... Got it!

  But where is here?

  "Hey, who are you? Don't you know it's against the law to trespass on private property... Ah! What do you want to do?! A small girl, like a little doll, was lifted up by her collar by Jiuming, her small arms and legs struggling constantly. "Help!!"

  "Huh? Soft and soft, isn't a robot?" Jiǔ Mìng stretched out his hand to pinch the little beauty's cheek.

  "You're the robot! How can a robot compare to me!" The little beauty struggled constantly, her small hands slapping against Jiǔ Mìng's hand making "pa pa pa" sounds. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape one fact - she couldn't break free. "How detestable, if only my abilities weren't restricted..."

  "Alright, where is this?" Jiǔ Mìng looked around and hesitated for a moment, seemingly quite tidy!

  "Huh?" At the sound of Jiuming's question, the little beauty directly pulled her hand out from his and stood on the ground, adjusting her slightly disheveled clothes from struggling earlier, "Cough... I am the master of this house!"

  "......Can you beat a cat?" Jiǔ Mìng glanced at the little beauty jumping around on the ground with drooping eyelids, and honestly, a cat could take her away.

  "You can't... all of you are bullying me!! You too, and Xi is also!!"

  "Really? Yuki? This is her house?" Nine nodded and slapped his palm, praising, "Looks pretty good."

  "Hmph, of course, you don't even see who's taking care of her, or else there would be that Hina child... Sigh, I've almost become her mother." Shaking her head and sighing, this little beauty looked like a small adult, with an expression as if she had no choice but to take care of her own child, which made Jiu Ming feel strange.

  "My name is Jiǔ Mìng, what about you?" He scratched his head, and Jiǔ Mìng half-knelt down, placing the little beauty on the low table, so he didn't have to keep his head lowered all the time.

  "Just call me Asakura Ryouko then." The little beauty waved her hand carelessly, and scrutinized Kusuo for a while, "You seem to be in a pretty bad state, smoke is even coming out of your body."

  "Haven't you ever seen a soul fly and body scatter?" He said with a half-joking tone, not minding the state of his body at all. As long as he didn't continue to go through that process of harming himself, his body's disappearance speed couldn't keep up with its recovery speed. With some addition and subtraction, this state would disappear after a while, once the energy was released.

  "This isn't the first time I've seen this!" Akane Asakura glanced at Kurenai a few times, but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Having encountered many abnormal existences before, and not being an ordinary person herself, she wouldn't be surprised even if she knew that Kurenai wasn't human. "You... have a good relationship with Arisa?"

  She stared intently at Kurenai, and a long time ago, she had vaguely learned that Nagato had some connection with another 'world', but unfortunately, she was being 'imprisoned' here, knowing very little, now Kurenai suddenly came here, and she couldn't help but suspect.

  "It's okay, I guess......" Kuroba knocked his own head, because the memories that kept accumulating only had non-repeating elements, so he neglected a lot of time sense, and the only thing that was clear was that Nagato Yuuki's presence seemed to be getting more and more cautious.

  A fragment of memory?

  But in his little notebook, he had recorded at least three thousand five hundred times or more...

  Now that I think about it, it's really crazy. If memories are accumulated through repetition, he would have gone mad from the numerous brainwashing cycles a long time ago.

  "What has Yuki been through recently? She seems quite lonely?"

  "Ah? It's really like that, huh." Asakura Ryouko sat on the low table that was even higher than her, hugging her arms. "But I don't know...I've already lost most of my abilities, or else I wouldn't be in a situation where even a mere cat can threaten me......How infuriating!"

  When it comes to cats, Asakura Ryouko's face twists into a scowl, an expression of extreme anger, as if she had once narrowly escaped with her life from a sudden cat attack.

  "If you're close to her, you can ask her about it. Even if it's her, this seems like it'll cause problems down the line." He nodded his chin, as if thinking of something, "Come to think of it, I've been having a lot more déjà vu lately... just like that scene where she went out earlier, I feel like I've seen it many times before..."

  "Is that so......" Jiǔ Mìng pinched his own fingers, thinking. He no longer had any comment on this cheap world. What he needed to figure out now was the source of that strange event. "You haven't asked yet, what's your relationship with her?"

  "Colleague! But I'm almost like her mother now, I'm in charge of her daily life, and you don't know how troublesome she is at home!"

  There is a colleague who is quite strong against the opponent, and I really feel... Ah? Looking at Nagato Yuki doesn't seem to be careless either.

  "Aren't you afraid I'll report you?"

  One sentence made Asakura Ryouko's face turn green with rage, "I'll kill you!!"

  Is an angry mole threatening?

  Looking at Akira Chōkō who had fallen from the low table, Kujō rubbed his head, this is a tragedy.

  "Alright, alright, do you know where Hoshi went?" Kurenai slammed her forehead on the low table again, and Kyuumei asked while staring at her angry eyes.

  "I don't know!" with an expression of having made up her mind and being unwilling to cooperate.

  Kunmei's eyes gleamed with a strange, evil smile as he revealed his true nature to Akira Kougami, who was frozen in terror. "You see, I'm still a... doll controller, especially when it comes to your kind of existence..."

  "Threaten me?" Akira Asakura was also a personal genius, not intimidated at all, and bluntly cut off Kurenai's words.

  "I'll catch the cat and go."

  "Ahhh!!" Akane Asakura, stimulated, bared her teeth and pounced on Kurenai, grabbing his hem and nimbly climbing onto his shoulder, revealing a row of white teeth as she bit down hard on his neck!!

  "What a weak counterattack." With a light snort, Jiǔ Mìng lightly grasped her collar, "In any case, don't doubt my level after I've gone mad."

  "And I'm getting really annoyed with all the back-and-forth hassle." Kurenai was laughing, and Akane's whole body felt a bit dizzy from her laughter.

  "Uh... take me with you!"

  "Good!" Without hesitation, Jiǔ Mìng immediately nodded, "But can you find her?"

  "Of course, although most of my abilities are gone, finding people is a no-brainer!" She said with a relaxed face, dragging a backpack and walking towards Kurao Kōshi with an air that seemed to say "I can take care of this with just one hand". The nine lives were stunned.

  "That's it, let's go." Jiǔ Mìng glanced at the time, and it was just one o'clock.

  It wasn't until he walked out of the Changmen that he realized this young woman with three no's actually lived in a high-end apartment. At noon, when the weather was scorching hot, he walked out and didn't see many people, guessing that they were all hiding at home blowing air conditioning.

  Asakura Ryouko quietly hid in the backpack, and after Kaito left, she heard the sound of the zipper being slowly opened. A small shadow quickly jumped out of the backpack, performing a high-flying jump, accompanied by a shout of "I'm free!"

  Successfully stepped on a sturdy stray cat that didn't seem very intimidating...

  Stillness...

  Her excited face, seemingly about to make a run for it, quickly turned pale as Asakura Ryoko's cheeks flushed red. The cat was also startled by her sudden 'attack' and let out a low, angry meow.

  "Oh no!!!!!!" Chillingly staring at the unmoving Kurn, Akira Asakura burst into a tearful sprint just before the stray cat pounced.

  "Sigh, if you don't try to die, you won't die. Alright, let's just consider it a lesson." With his hands clasped behind his back, Jiǔ Mìng's face wore a faint smile as he gazed at the little beauty and the stray cat circling around him, "You're really not honest, actually thinking of running away."

  "Save me! I'm done for! I'll be caught!!" Just as she was tripped up by another small stone, Akira Asakura's tiny body was immediately enveloped in a dark shadow... perhaps to the stray cat, she was just a slightly larger mouse...

  As expected, next is the tragic scene of abusing and killing his sister.

  "Mrow...?"

  A stray cat floating in mid-air let out a puzzled meow, why didn't it fall down?

  "We're saved." Letting out a long sigh, Akira Soma wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, "You scared me to death, how can you be so calm and just watch? I'm a beauty, you know!"

  "Too small, I'm not interested." Jiǔ Mìng lightly pinched the stray cat's ear, but didn't sense any malice from Jiǔ Mìng. The stray cat struggled slightly before rubbing against Jiǔ Mìng's hand that was scratching its itch.

  "...Asakura Ryoko noticed that Kuroba didn't dare to shoo away the stray cat, but instead let it stay. The implication was clear: he was saying to her, 'You try running away if you dare!'"

  "You must have colluded with each other!" At the same time, she also felt a sense of injustice. The cat was so ferocious towards her just now, but why is it so docile in Jiǔ Mìng's hands?

  "Can we compare? In its eyes, you're just a slightly larger mouse." Jiǔ Mìng gently patted the stray cat's head and put it down. "This time I didn't bring snacks, go play by yourself."

  The stray cat landed on the ground, licked its lips in front of Akira Chōkō, glanced at Kurenai once more, and then jumped away behind the wall, disappearing from view.

  "There won't be a next time, right?"

  "What if there is?" Akira Asakura asked with a bit of hesitation.

  "I treat you as a real person!"
