Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

Jiang Shiyuan kicked at the pebbles under her feet, one hand in the pocket of her down jacket, her voice indifferent.

"The research institute is located in a secret base, and the project is classified, so you can't find out about it. I should have told you earlier, but it wasn't finalized before, so I didn't tell you. These few days are my only vacation this year. I'm going back to the secret base to continue my studies the day after tomorrow, and I won't be able to communicate with the outside world then. Now is the perfect time to make things clear to you."

Jiang Shiyuan spoke very quickly, and a long speech left Jiang's father dizzy, his question stuck in his throat.

Are you telling the truth?

“I have been on leave of absence for more than half a year. You just didn’t realize it. Of course, you can go to my school to ask, but please don’t take it out on the teachers.”

She wasn't afraid that Jiang Shiyuan's father might find out something, because she had already spoken to the captain. Even if Jiang's father investigated, he would only find that what she said was true.

Jiang's father fell silent immediately, and Jiang Shiyuan could only hear the sound of fireworks exploding and the lively background noise of the television.

"They're probably showing the Spring Festival Gala, and maybe even a skit?" Jiang Shiyuan guessed.

"Then...then why don't you come home when you have a holiday?" Jiang's father felt a little guilty and had to admit that ever since there was another child in the family, he had focused all his energy on the new child and neglected Jiang Shiyuan.

“There’s no need for that. I’ve met some wonderful seniors here. They’re not only colleagues but also friends to me. They’ve been so good to me. After all this time, I consider them family. It’s true. I’m doing very well here.”

A warm light shone from a small shop not far away. Jiang Shiyuan's gaze softened as she continued, "You need to submit a report to leave the province, and besides, it seems quite lively at home with you." A family of three, how wonderful.

"So, there's no need to feel guilty. Just wish me a Happy New Year, one sentence is enough."

"..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Jiang Shiyuan didn't urge him, and just held the phone and waited.

"Happy New Year."

Jiang Shiyuan heard the blessing as she wished. She looked up, forced back her tears, hung up the phone, and felt a mix of emotions, but also a sense of relief.

Her life will be very dangerous from now on, so keeping her distance from her family is a good choice, whether it's voluntary or involuntary, as long as she achieves her goal.

Tears still welled in her eyes, but she didn't wipe them away. Instead, she leaned against the wall and looked up to continue watching the fireworks.

"Meow~meow~"

A golden domestic cat, its back arched, darted over the wall. Caught off guard, it spotted Jiang Shiyuan leaning against the wall watching the fireworks. Its foot slipped, its fur bristling, and it nearly fell off the wall.

Jiang Shiyuan remained standing still, his golden fur disappearing into the bushes in an instant.

"A silly little kitten."

Jiang Shiyuan stared at the cat with great interest; at this moment, she needed something to distract her.

The cat gradually walked away and climbed up a tree. Jiang Shiyuan continued to stare at it with great interest, but as she stared, she felt something was wrong.

On this freezing cold day, with firecrackers going off everywhere, most stray cats have hidden themselves away. But this little cat in front of me has smooth golden fur, a clean-looking fluffy face, and only a little dust on its body. It's chubby and unlike any other stray cat, it's clearly a house cat that has only recently become a stray.

Jiang Shiyuan hesitated for a moment, then stood up straight and tried to walk to the orange cat's side. But as soon as she moved, the orange cat stood up alertly, raised one of its little paws, and was ready to run away at any moment.

"It really is a wary little cat." Jiang Shiyuan sighed helplessly, thought for a moment, and then turned and went into the convenience store next door.

This was the only convenience store still open in the area. She originally wanted to buy a bottle of goat milk, but couldn't find it on the shelf, so she had to settle for two cans of fish instead.

Back at the intersection, the kitten was still perched on the tree, and it twitched its ears warily as it watched her return.

Jiang Shiyuan opened the can, tiptoed over and placed it on the stone block, then returned to her original spot.

The kitten remained wary of her, but its tail twitched involuntarily. Jiang Shiyuan pretended not to care and continued watching the fireworks.

Five minutes passed, and the orange cat stared intently at the two-legged creature not far away, its nose twitching incessantly. In the biting cold wind, an irresistible aroma of fish wafted into its nostrils.

It was cold, it was hungry, and the fish smelled delicious.

The two-legged creature still didn't look at it. The orange cat jumped down from the tree, its light footsteps treading on the dry branches, making a very soft sound.

The cat stopped beside the stone block. Jiang Shiyuan was still watching the fireworks, only glancing at it a few times out of the corner of her eye, which the cat did not notice.

The temptation of food overcame the cat's wariness, and the cat began to eat the canned fish. Jiang Shiyuan smiled as she looked at the cat, who was happily eating.

She opened the remaining can of fish in her hand, walked over quietly, and the cat stopped eating and hissed at her.

Jiang Shiyuan put down the can of food, took a few steps back, and the cat sniffed the food, as if it understood something, and continued eating the fish.

Jiang Shiyuan spent more than ten minutes with the kitten before finally managing to pet the orange cat.

"I knew you were a house cat. Ordinary stray cats don't let people pet them so easily. You need to be more careful," Jiang Shiyuan muttered, stroking the cat's head.

After the cat finished eating the canned fish, it lay on the ground with its belly exposed, letting people pet it. Jiang Shiyuan secretly enjoyed petting it. After a while, once the kitten was comfortable with her affection, she gently picked it up and held it in her arms.

"Did you sneak out?" Jiang Shiyuan asked.

"Meow~" The cat didn't understand.

"It's so cold outside, why are you wandering around like a cat all by yourself?"

Peace Office.

Lin Qiye noticed that Jiang Shiyuan had been gone for a long time and hadn't returned.

"She said she went out for some fresh air, hasn't she come back yet?" Zhao Kongcheng was already drunk and slurred his words.

"I'll go out and take a look." The situation was still unclear, and Lin Qiye was a little uneasy. He walked out of the office, activated his senses, and then paused slightly.

He walked to the intersection.

The girl was holding a dry twig and shaking it like a cat toy. There was a withered yellow leaf on the twig. An orange cat was being teased by the twig, spinning and jumping around non-stop. Lin Qiye stood there watching for a while, then asked with amusement, "Why are you out petting a cat?"

"I came out for some fresh air and ran into it." Jiang Shiyuan turned around and saw him, threw away the dry branch in her hand, picked up the orange cat, tugged at its little paws, and greeted Lin Qiye.

The girl's fair face still had a slight blush from drinking, her eyes were bright and clear, her eyebrows were curved, and her voice was soft, "Isn't she cute? Look, she's even wearing white gloves."

Jiang Shiyuan carried the orange cat to Lin Qiye and proudly patted its head.

"She is quite cute," Lin Qiye replied, his gaze falling on Jiang Shiyuan's face.

"It's so clean, it might have been abandoned or run away from home secretly." Jiang Shiyuan patted the cat's head, earning a disgruntled swat from the orange cat.

"Let's send it back to the agency. The captain and the others should be able to find its owner." Lin Qiye looked at the orange cat, reached out and picked it up, rubbing its head.

Jiang Shiyuan picked up the two cans of fish from the ground and followed behind Lin Qiye.
