Infinite: Dawn Game

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Zhao Xuan knew how formidable this orange cat was, so he neither rushed forward nor dared to retreat until he heard Zhou Yuanyang's order to return before he dared to turn around.

The Black Robe Church has a very strict hierarchy. Ordinary members must completely obey the orders and arrangements of their superiors, moving up one level at a time, and cannot have any thoughts of disobedience.

“Come back,” Zhou Yuanyang said calmly, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Yu Shijiu, whose face was full of smiles.

"It seems this child doesn't really like the gift we gave him."

This shows that although Yu Shijiu appears crazy, he is still able to deal with things normally. Such emotional control is not a good thing for the Black Robe Church.

They are not afraid of pure madmen, but madmen with brains who can control their behavior are the most difficult to control.

Yu Shijiu blinked. He was a little unhappy with Zhou Yuanyang's casual judgment of him. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Chusheng spoke first.

“He’s a normal person,” Lu Chusheng said coldly, his expression stern and calm.

"Nobody likes something like this."

As he spoke, Zhao Xuan's eyes widened suddenly under his hood. Before he could react, the large orange cat, which looked so big it seemed too heavy to walk, snatched his arm with lightning speed and slammed it to the ground.

"Meow!"

The orange cat stood there, baring its teeth and licking the fur of the severed limb it had just touched, seemingly very agitated.

Zhou Yuanyang reached out to support Zhao Xuan's back, and Zhao Xuan, who almost fell, quickly steadied himself, lowered his head, and was about to speak.

Zhou Yuanyang raised his hand to stop him from speaking, his gray eyes fixed on Yu Shijiu not far away.

"Fatty!"

Yu Shijiu realized what Lu Chusheng meant by "normal person" and looked at the big orange cat that was cleaning itself by itself, which had separated from him. He quickly opened the door and came out.

The big orange cat glanced up at him, then looked down again to continue cleaning itself of non-existent dirt, licking itself with serious and meticulous movements.

It's clear that this is a very clean orange cat.

Just as Yu Shijiu was about to bend down and bring Feifei back into her cocoon, Lu Chusheng spoke:

"Fatty?"

Lu Chusheng looked somewhat puzzled: "Its name is Feifei?"

Yu Shijiu: "..."

His pupils dilated, and with an undisguised gesture, he reached out to cover the large orange cat, saying:

“Yes, it’s mine,” she added, seemingly realizing she had already said that.

"It's my cat."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He watched Yu Shijiu trying to block the orange cat's figure thoughtfully, without pointing out that the other was blinking her eyelashes too quickly out of guilt.

"I understand," Lu Chusheng glanced at the big orange cat that was also trying to shrink itself and hide behind Yu Shijiu, and felt that the other's behavior was also very strange.

He could understand Yu Shijiu's behavior. Perhaps he really liked cats and Laibao was indeed quite obedient (at least in his opinion). Few people would dislike Laibao (also in Lu Chusheng's opinion), so he could completely understand Yu Shijiu's actions.

But why is Laibao like this too?

Although he felt something was off, Lu Chusheng didn't show it on his face. He simply looked at Yu Shijiu, who was clearly feeling guilty and had started clenching her fists, and coughed lightly.

"It's your cat now."

Yu Shijiu's eyes lit up, and the big orange cat behind him also meowed, then stopped licking its fur and started frantically hugging Yu Shijiu's waist and meowing.

Zhou Yuanyang, who had been observing from the side, narrowed his eyes slightly. He raised his hand to stop Zhao Xuan, who was once again eager to step forward and compete for Yu Shijiu's attention, and said with a forced smile:

"I didn't realize Captain Lu was so generous. He was even willing to give away his beloved cat, which he had raised for so many years, just to attract this capable young man."

Lu Chusheng responded calmly:

“Bishop Zhou, you flatter me. But you seem to have hearing problems. The little boy you mentioned just now said that this cat belongs to him. Didn’t you hear me?”

Zhou Yuanyang: "..."

He bit the soft flesh on his cheek and sneered:

"It's a pity that even after giving the cat away, the kid still didn't say he wanted to join your inspection team."

The sarcastic remarks reached Lu Chusheng's ears, but he maintained his usual cold and indifferent expression:

"I'm just here to deliver a cake. Is Bishop Zhou overthinking this?"

Zhou Yuanyang, who was stabbed in the back again: "..."

Yu Shijiu, who was at the center of the conversation, kept his head down. He seemed oblivious to the subtle and overt rivalry between Zhou Yuanyang and Lu Chusheng, and excitedly hugged and petted the big orange cat.

"So it's mine, right?"

Just as Zhou and Lu were exchanging barbs, Yu Shijiu, who was engrossed in petting the cat, suddenly looked up and asked a question.

Zhou Yuanyang: "..."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Fang Zhi and He Lingling, who hadn't dared to utter a single word from beginning to end, were speechless.

The former wanted to say something but then stopped, while the latter tried to suppress his laughter until he coughed, and finally could only helplessly wave his hand to indicate that he didn't mean it.

Zhou Yuanyang also noticed He Lingling because of this. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Ghost Eye, He Lingling."

"..." He Lingling's throat was still a little itchy. She coughed until her dark, deep pupils began to well up with tears, then she quickly suppressed them and said:

"No, no, I'm just a nobody. Bishop Zhou, please don't mind me."

As she spoke, she winked at Yu Shijiu, who was also looking up at her, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Zhou Yuan looked up at her figure disappearing into the crowd, not paying much attention, but he seemed somewhat troubled as he looked at Yu Shijiu, who had stopped petting the cat:

"kid,"

Zhou Yuan looked up at Yu Shijiu and asked, "Do you really believe what Captain Lu said?"

"A cake isn't worth much. Do you really think a captain of the inspection team would personally deliver a cake to you? Isn't that a pretty blatant lie—"

“I believe you,” Yu Shijiu answered without hesitation, his arms holding the large orange cat remaining still.

"Captain Lu also gave me a cake the day before yesterday."

Zhou Yuanyang, who was completely unaware of this, was speechless.

He turned and gave the cult member in charge of investigating information a cold look. The cult member who was stared at trembled all over. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he probably would have knelt down on the spot.

Frustrated by his initial setback, Zhou Yuanyang glanced at Lu Chusheng, who had suddenly fallen silent beside him. Sensing that the latter was up to no good, he decided to speak directly:

“I won’t waste any more words,” Zhou Yuanyang stated his terms:

"If you join the Black Robe Church, believe me, you will rise to the position of bishop in the shortest time, and then you will have whatever you want."

Zhou Yuanyang tempted, "Status, money, points... including power and the power to kill at will, you can have it all if you want it."
