52 The Shopping Mall ?

Zhao Yao decided to come to this shopping mall tonight because of some news he saw on the internet. The rumor said that many items had been stolen; some even disappeared right in front of the shop attendant's eyes. The public had regarded it as a supernatural event.

However, Zhao Yao knew that a supercat was behind all of it and he wanted to find it.

He was hiding in the toilet while he waited for the shopping mall to close for the day.

Initially, he sent Matcha out to check on the situation, but it seemed like he was busy playing Mobile Legends and even bought new game skins.

The thing which irked Zhao Yao the most was the fact that Matcha even bought game skins when he was supposed to help check on the situation in the mall.

Zhao Yao left a message on the WeChat group, "Where did you get the money to buy your game skins? Did you steal the money from my Alipay account?"

Matcha did not bother to reply Zhao Yao, and this infuriated him. He decided to leave the toilet and teach Matcha a lesson.

…

Zhao Yao was hiding in the bathroom while waiting for the shopping mall to close. Meanwhile, Matcha was busy playing with his phone on a massage chair on the fifth level of the shopping mall.

The fur on his skin was as radiant as ever, and he looked like he had put on some weight since the last time. It was definitely because of his luxurious lifestyle and his lazy habits.

Beside the phone in his paws, he also had a tiny green-colored haversack. Zhao Yao only gave in to his request for that bag after he pleaded umpteen times.

The only benefit for giving Matcha a bag was to allow him to keep his phone inside it. In doing so, he could bring his phone out wherever he went. This had made bringing Match out for missions a much more straightforward task for Zhao Yao. If not, he would just stay at home and refused to take a step out.

At that moment, Matcha was lying comfortably on the massage chair while playing Mobile Legends; he did not notice the notification from his WeChat group.

Matcha was using Sun Wu Kong in the game and managed to defeat the opponent's Luban with three strikes. It chuckled and said, "Hahaha, I've finally found the hero that suits me the most! This is the hero that I've always meant to use!"

The massage chair started to work on Matcha's body as it gently massaged his neck. Matcha closed his eyes to enjoy the massage as he mumbled, "This massage is so much better than the ones from Zhao Yao and Mango. I should get Zhao Yao to buy me a massage chair when I get home."

Suddenly, a woman's scream echoed throughout the shopping mall as she saw Matcha lying comfortably on the massage chair while using his phone. She immediately fished out her phone to live stream the incident while she pointed her finger at Matcha in shock.

"Everyone! Do you see it? A cat! A cat is playing with a phone!"

However, when Jin Jia Jia turned her head to look at the massage chair again, the fat and lazy cat had disappeared.

She looked at her phone's camera and continued, "Everyone! Did you see it? There really was a LiHua cat here just now, but it suddenly disappeared. There is something supernatural going on here, and we are here to find out."

She turned around to the Fu Er Dai at her side and asked, "Xiao Ming, did you see it? There is something wrong with this shopping mall! How can such a fat cat just disappear like that and it was playing with its phone. I saw it playing with its phone."

In another corner of the shopping mall, Matcha had just placed his phone into his bag while he walked into the darkness, with his butt swinging from left to right. After hearing Jin Jia Jia's comments about him, Matcha grumbled, "Tsk, don't you know that all LiHua cats are this fat? I'm already considered skinny for my species."

The people who saw Matcha were Jin Jia Jia, a broadcaster on a streaming site, and Xiao Ming, a Fuerdai. They came here to investigate the reason behind the supernatural events that had occurred.

After the previous villa expedition, Jin Jia Jia had participated in multiple supernatural adventures and lived streamed it to her viewers.

News regarding supercats had received more attention recently. Consequently, supernatural happenings had become the hot topic. With her pretty face and her nerve-racking live streams of these events, Jin Jia Jia's popularity had slowly been on the rise. Her average viewership was as high as one hundred thousand viewers per video.

Matcha's sudden appearance and disappearance had created a furor on her live streaming site. Netizens left a barrage of comments regarding their speculations for what happened.

Xiao Ming's face suddenly turned pale as he replied Jin Jia Jia, "You're right, I also saw the cat."

Since he last saw Zhao Yao used his superpower to get rid of the ghosts, Xiao Ming had been intrigued by everything supernatural-related. He had tagged along Jin Jia Jia in most of her supernatural expeditions.

Even though he was not as courageous as Jin Jia Jia, his financial support had helped her live streaming career significantly.

This shopping mall actually belonged to Xiao Ming's family, and they were only allowed entry into it after operating hours because of Xiao Ming's connections.

Jin Jia Jia looked at the camera and said sternly, "Dear friends and viewers, we have a devil cat in this shopping mall. Both Xiao Ming and I will look around and see if we can find it."

Before searching for long, they heard footsteps coming from afar.

The sound of the leather shoes hitting the floor was amplified by the large and dark shopping mall. Both Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming looked at each other and immediately went into hiding behind a counter.

"What is happening? I've already told the security guards to stop patrol for the night."

Jin Jia Jia stared with excitement as she said, "Could it be? Could it be the thing that we've been waiting for?"

Xiao Ming's face turned pale, and his entire forehead was drenched in cold sweat. His behavior was like a child watching a horror movie. Even though he was eager to explore the supernatural elements, yet would piss his pants when encountered with the actual thing.

When he saw the excited look on Jin Jia Jia face, he could not help but said, "Can you stop acting all excited and thrilled?" He took out his phone, got ready the number 110 and continued, "If anything happens, I'll call the police immediately."

"Why are you so scared?" Jin Jia Jia asked scornfully, "Let me see who it is." As she was speaking, she slowly stood up with the camera above her head.

"Everyone, let's take a look at who's here."

Jin Jia Jia carefully inched towards the top of the counter to take a look. Meanwhile, Xiao Ming was frantically holding onto the edge of her shirt, praying that the person did not spot them.

All of a sudden, the footsteps stopped, and the shopping mall was enveloped in silence.

The suffocating silence turned Xiao Ming's face paler than ever. He tried to swallow his saliva to soothe his nerves as he tightened his grip on Jin Jia Jia 's shirt.

The streaming site was bombarded with messages.

"I saw a girl in red dress."

"Jia Jia, someone is sitting on your shoulder."

"Jia Jia, you're getting prettier by the day."

Jin Jia Jia could not be bothered by the comments as she scanned her surroundings in search of the source of the footsteps.

Suddenly, a voice erupted from behind them.

"Why is it the two of you again?"
