Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

"cough……"

Her dark purple eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly woke up in the chaos, her violent coughing tearing through the stagnant air.

"Uh--"

Her pale fingers tightly gripped the quilt, her knuckles turning white, and bright red blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, forming glaring patterns on the plain sheets.

"Oh, you finally woke up?"

The faceless monster laughed and swung the whistle stick, and the sound of the metal rings colliding was as sharp as a mockery.

"You're so sick you can't even walk, and you still want to get involved in the mess of Xingluo Class?"

"Humph……"

Wu Cheng's black triangular eyes flashed with a sinister look. He suddenly kicked over the medicine cabinet beside him and said grimly amidst the flying wood chips:

"I heard that you even dared to defy the rules of the Da Clan for this piece of trash? Strange Cats and Chaos lackeys should perish together!"

"..."

Lin Chong leisurely played with his whistle stick, his cold eyes sweeping over the interwoven rhythmic patterns and chaotic patterns on Mo Zi's body, a cruel smile curling up at the corner of his mouth:

"How interesting, possessing two powers yet being so weak. Keeping you here would be a waste, even as a test subject."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Yang Zhi's blade lifted her dark purple chin, and the cold light reflected her purple lips:

"In my opinion, it's better to end it now——"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Tang suddenly jumped up, and the Justice Bell burst out with a dazzling golden light. He gritted his teeth and knocked away the iron chain thrown by Lin Shisan, roaring:

"Don't touch her! Sister A Zi is our partner!"

"Bai Tang is right!"

Da Fei's burly figure stood in front of the bed, his wounds still bleeding, yet he stood as still as a towering mountain.

"If you want to touch Sister A Zi, you have to step over my dead body first!"

Xiaoqing's sleeves fluttered, and the condensed ice shattered into pieces in the chaotic atmosphere, but she stared at Mo Zi intently, with a firmness in her eyes that contradicted her weak appearance.

"Uh--"

Mo Zi raised his hand, panting, his fingertips still trembling slightly, the corners of his bloodstained lips twitched, but he could not utter a complete syllable.

Seeing this, Wu Chenghei's triangular eyes flashed with disgust and he sneered:

"A piece of trash who can't even speak clearly is worthy of Xingluo Class risking their lives to protect him?"

"Haha, you're right!"

Yang Zhi approached with a blade in hand,

"Today, you are shielding the strange cats and secretly hiding the Chaos Monster. Even if the Lord of Heaven comes, he can't save you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wumian suddenly swung out his whistle stick and hit Dafei's foot hard:

"Don't waste your time talking to them! Let's go together and kill this sickly guy first!"

"boom!"

"..."

The sharp sound of metal rings colliding rang out, but Lin Chong raised his hand to stop his restless companions and looked at Mo Zi with interest:

"Wait a minute—I want to see how long these overconfident fellows can protect her."

"Humph……"

He swung his whistle stick violently, and the black chain wrapped around Xiaoqing's ice shield like a poisonous snake.

"With your shattered rhythmic power, you can't even protect yourselves!"

"Don't even think about touching Sister A Zi!"

Bai Tang's eyes widened with anger, the bell of justice vibrated wildly, even though the marks of the metal ring were still on his neck, he still rushed towards Mo Zi regardless of everything.

"We, the Xingluo class, promised to protect her, and we will never break our promise!"

Da Fei opened his blood-stained arms and stood in front of the bed like an indestructible wall.

"If you have the guts, just step over me! As long as I'm still breathing, no one of you can hurt Sister A Zi!"

Wu Song gripped the remaining half of his whistle stick tightly. Blood continued to seep from the cracks on his body, but he still stood firmly beside his companions.

"Xingluo Class, never abandon your companions!"

"Uh--"

Xiao Qing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The ice blade was crumbling under the erosion of chaos, but she straightened her back, and said coldly with her sleeves fluttering:

"If you want to take my sister away, ask my water sleeves first!"

"This, this, this..."

The old doctor huddled in the corner, trembling as he clutched the broken medicine jar, his cloudy eyes filled with emotion:

"What a group of loyal and righteous children..."

"You stubborn people, today I will let you know the consequences of opposing Da Zong!"

Lin Chong laughed grimly, and the metal ring on the whistle stick spun wildly, and the chaotic black wind it stirred up scraped cracks on the beams and pillars of the clinic.

He slammed his whistle stick into the ground, causing it to crack.

"Let's go together and destroy these ignorant bastards first!"

"Uh--"

When Wu Chenghei's chain wrapped around Dafei's neck, he deliberately tightened it so that the metal ring made a sharp sound:

"Aren't you supposed to be a flower protector? How come you can't even protect your own neck?"

Da Fei's veins bulged, and he let out a beast-like growl from his throat. His nails dug deep into the chains but he couldn't budge them at all. The image of Mo Zi teaching him to read flashed through his mind.

"Even if I die...I won't let you hurt Sister Zi!"

"boom!"

When Xiaoqing's ice blade was shattered by Yang Zhi's silver needle, the poisonous ice fragments splashed on her arm, turning it blue and purple in an instant.

"Is this all you can do?"

Yang Zhi approached with the silver needle,

"If your brother knew how useless you were, he would be so angry that he would come back to life in his grave!"

These words pierced Xiaoqing's heart like a sharp arrow. She bit her lower lip, remembering how her brother had entrusted Mo Zi to her before his death. She forced herself to gather the last bit of her rhythmic energy:

"Don't...insult my brother!"

"What a boring guy!"

Bai Tang was stepped on by Lin Chong, and the light of the Bell of Justice was almost extinguished.

"Little follower of the strange cat, are you still not giving up?"

Lin Chong rubbed his back.

"Look at how miserable you are now. Do you look like a lost dog?"

Bai Tang suddenly coughed up a bloody laugh, remembering what Tang Ming had taught him: "Justice will never fall." He shouted with all his strength:

"As long as we have breath left, we will never give up!"

"Uh……"

Wu Song's back was already covered in blood under the attack of Lin Shisan and Meimianmu.

"You've completely disgraced Da Zong!"

The iron chain thrown by Lin Shisan wrapped around his wrist.

"Is it worth it for a chaos monster?"

Wu Song thought of the days when he and Xingluo Squad were together, and suddenly exerted force to break the chain:

"Whether it's worth it or not is not your turn to judge!"

"hateful!"

Mingyue was hit in the chest by the faceless whistle stick and flew backwards, smashing the medicine cabinet.

She struggled to get up and touched the jade pendant left by her sister in her arms:

"Xingluo Squad... has never been a battle fought by just one cat..."

"It's just a dying struggle!"

The faceless man screamed and swung his whistle stick. The buzzing sound of the metal ring was accompanied by a chaotic black wind and hit Bai Tang's crown heavily.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, Wu Song gritted his teeth and threw out the half-broken whistle stick, barely deflecting the attack, but he was entangled by Lin Shisan's iron chain around his neck, strangling his face purple:

"Wanzi! Take Sister A Zi and go quickly..."

"Want to escape? Have you asked about my poison needle?"

Yang Zhi sneered and rained poisonous silver needles down on Da Fei's knees.

"what--"

Da Fei knelt on one knee in pain, but still stubbornly opened his arms to protect Mo Zi's bed, and didn't even feel the silver needle sinking into his flesh:

"Sister A Zi... I didn't hold on..."

"Have you reached your limit..."

Xiaoqing's sleeves were riddled with holes due to the corrosion of chaos, and the ice soul was shattered into powder in her palm.

"elder brother……"

She staggered in front of Mo Zi, listening to Yang Zhi's harsh ridicule, and suddenly the scene of her brother falling down to protect her flashed before her eyes.

Tears mixed with blood slid down her cheeks, and she clenched the remaining ice in her fist:

"I won't...let anyone important...die in front of me again!"

"Ugh……"

Lin Chong approached through the messy ground, and lifted Bai Tang's bloody chin with his whistle stick:

"The so-called Xingluo Squad is nothing more than a bunch of fools trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm."

He suddenly turned the whistle towards Mo Zi, and the cold light touched her trembling throat.

"Now, follow me back to Da Zong to do the experiment. Maybe I can still keep their bodies intact."

"cough……"

Mo Zi coughed violently, and the dark purple blood seeping from between his fingers dripped onto the bed sheet, strangely spreading out into the shape of a talisman.

"Everyone……"

She weakly raised her head, her eyes sweeping over her wounded companions. Memories flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern – Bai Tang’s sly smile as she stole the cakes she made, Da Fei’s clumsy yet warm embrace, Xiao Qing’s focused expression as she bandaged her wounds…

"Do not……"

She suddenly grabbed Lin Chong's whistle stick, and her palm was instantly cut, and chaos and rhythmic power collided violently at the wound.

"How could that be!"

Lin Chong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he abruptly withdrew his weapon, only to see Mo Zi struggling to stand up. The rhythmic pattern of a Peking Opera cat emerged from the black and purple mist surrounding him.

"They're not...idiots..."

"You're crazy! How dare a sickly person resist?"

Wu Chenghei roared and swung out the chain, but the moment it touched Mo Zi, it was bounced away by an invisible force.

"what happened?"

Bai Tang struggled to get up and saw a strange blush on Mo Zi's pale face. Suddenly realizing something, he clenched his trembling fists and shouted:

"Everyone! Sister A Zi is...suppressing Chaos!"
