CH 122.5

“Is it hungry?” Chen Yang suddenly asked out loud.

The cat was skinny, and it appeared in the alley at night. Most cats with vigilant eyes were stray cats, not to mention this kind of black cat whose fur wasn’t at all pleasing.

Chen Yang rummaged through his pockets and eventually found a ham sausage in his shirt pocket, a leftover from dinner.

Chen Yang tore the wrapper and handed the fragrant ham sausage to the black cat’s mouth.

The black cat took a look at the ham sausage and ignored it, but its eyes were still fixed on Chen Yang’s hand, rather on the bracelet around his wrist.

“Is it not hungry?” Chen Yang wondered.

Just then, footsteps echoed outside the alley, and the cat disappeared with a whoosh.

Qiu Heng rushed toward him. He looked at the pair on the ground and exclaimed, “Have you caught them?”

“No.” Chen Yang stood up and said, “Take them back for now, and interrogate them tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Qiu Heng responded. He carried the woman, who was at the outermost, and walked out. Chen Yang, on the other hand, walked forward and helped the unconscious man up. When he turned to leave, he hesitated for a second and threw the ham sausage in his hand nearby.

After the two left, the black cat came out of the corner again. It looked at the ham on the ground, wagged its tail, and finally walked away proudly.

The next morning, the couple woke up, and as expected by Chen Yang, one said that he was seduced by a woman, and the other said that he was a woman from a good family who never went to bars.

Chen Yang had a grasp of the situation and no longer cared about them. After the change of shifts, he returned home. He took a nap in the afternoon and went out again after taking a shower.

“Big Brother.”

Chen Yang ran into Chen Yu, who was also going out, at the stairway.

“Are you going out to catch ghosts again?” Chen Yang took a look at his sister’s makeup and immediately knew what she was up to.

“Yeah.” Chen Yu nodded.

“Is it not very peaceful out there lately?” He has encountered six malevolent ghost possessions this month.

“Just fine, ah,” Chen Yu replied with some uncertainty.

Chen Yang lifted his left hand and said, “Last night, it heated up again.”

“Let me see.” Chen Yu took a look and said, “The spiritual power of the bracelet has indeed been depleted a lot. I’ll get you a spare one in a couple of days.”

“Is it not very peaceful, so there’s frequent malevolent ghost possessions lately?” Chen Yang asked.

“You can force malevolent ghosts out of a body with this amulet, and without too much trouble. Don’t worry,” Chen Yu said. She didn’t even bother to spare a glance at malevolent ghosts of this level.

Chen Yang was speechless. In his eyes as an ordinary person, being possessed by a malevolent ghost was scary, okay? As a result, in his sister’s eyes, this wasn’t a big deal?

“Doesn’t your Metaphysics Network care about malevolent ghosts possessing people?” Chen Yang knew that Chen Yu had been receiving tasks at a Metaphysics website.

“They do. But generally, if no one is killed, rarely does anyone take the initiative to solve it; or when the person concerned finds himself possessed by a malevolent ghost and then takes the initiative to seek help.” Most of the primary missions on the Metaphysics website came from the people taking the initiative to visit a Daoist temple to seek help.

“And what if the person himself does not know?” Chen Yang asked. Before knowing that Chen Yu was a ghost exorcist, he had been convinced that there was no ghost in the world.

“That depends on the luck of that malevolent ghost.” Chen Yu shrugged and said, “If bad luck finds him and he meets a passing Celestial Master, consider himself unlucky.”

“…”

After coming out of the house, Chen Yang continued staking out. While on a stake out, he mulled over the topic he had discussed with Chen Yu on their way out. Chen Yang felt that if there were malevolent ghosts in the world, then there must be a special agency to take care of them. There might be an institution for it, but the Celestial Masters there were… incompetent.

Even if she was his sister, Chen Yang had to admit that this was a fact, ah.

“Meow!”

Upon hearing the meow, Chen Yang returned to his senses. When he raised his eyes, he saw a familiar-looking black cat standing in front of the windshield, staring at him.

“It’s you.” Chen Yang raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Are you hungry again?”

As he spoke, he began to rummage through the car, and finally turned up a packet of dried small fish in the passenger seat. His eyes lit up. He took the dried small fish and got out of the car.

“Boss, that’s my ration,” Qiu Heng, who was sitting in the back seat catching up on his sleep, shouted pitifully.

“Go to sleep,” Chen Yang said without mercy.

“Meow!” The little black cat looked at the dried fish handed in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed it. No mistaking it, Chen Yang saw hesitation on the black cat.

The little black cat’s fur was especially shiny and black. The tips of the fur shone black under the street lamps, looking fluffy and soft. It didn’t look like a stray cat at all: “I didn’t look closely in the alley that day. You’re so clean, you shouldn’t be a stray cat.”

The little black cat took a look at Chen Yang and meowed as a reply.

Chen Yang laughed. He couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the black cat’s smooth fur. Hmm, it feels good.

Just when Chen Yang was enjoying the soft touch of the cat fur, a faint golden light flashed in the cat’s body.

Chen Yang withdrew his hand and stopped touching it. He turned his head and stared at the door of the bar habitually, and then his pupils shrank. That is…

Chen Yang blinked, and blinked again. Yes, he saw a female ghost lying on top of a girl in a white dress who just came out.

Malevolent ghost possession? Why could he see a malevolent ghost possessing someone?

Chen Yang did not care whether his eyes were playing tricks on him. Seeing that the woman was about to leave, he turned to explain things to Qiu Heng and followed her.

Chen Yang followed the female ghost for a long time. They passed three intersections and came to a small community park. There were three people in the woods, each with a miserable pale ghost lying on their bodies.

The heck is this?

When the woman went inside, the four of them gathered together. He didn’t know what they talked about, or rather what exactly the four ghosts discussed.

Meow!” Unknowingly, the black cat followed him.

Chen Yang looked down in surprise. He thought to himself, It is said that black cats possess supernatural powers. Can it possibly see them?

The black cat silently gazed at Chen Yang, seemingly waiting for his next move.

Chen Yang did not linger long. Only after a momentary hesitation, he then openly walked out: “I am a police officer. What are you people doing gathered here in the middle of the night?”

The few malevolent ghosts obviously didn’t think a policeman could see them. Hence, they explained one after another, “We are friends, chatting here.”

“What are you talking about late at night? Take out your ID cards.” Chen Yang began to check their ID cards.

The malevolent ghosts obviously didn’t want to cause unnecessary troubles, so they obediently went to get their IDs. Chen Yang waited for them to stretch out their ID cards, took the opportunity to reach out and grabbed a human arm with the other. The amulet flashed, and the malevolent ghost screamed out from the possessed human body.

Chen Yang also took advantage of the time when the two other ghosts didn’t reac and speedily reached out to drive the ghosts out of the bodies.

In a blink, the four ghosts panicked and fled. Chen Yang looked at the four unconscious humans who fell on the ground and felt a headache.

This month alone, he had already picked six people who fainted for no reason and returned. If he were to pick four more people, how was he supposed to explain it? Could it be that all the people in the capital who fainted encountered him?

Fortunately, after that night, Chen Yang never encountered similar incidents again, as if those ghosts who liked to possess had disappeared.

Two more days later, the culprit who raped young women was also caught.

Another two weeks later, a transfer order was placed in front of Chen Yang.

“National Security Agency, Ninth Unit.”

Chen Yang was puzzled. When did the National Security Agency directly transfer people from the police force?

Although puzzled, Chen Yang still went to report. On the first day he registered, the first task that the security agency arranged for him was to raise a cat.

A familiar black cat with soft black fur.

“From now on, she will be your partner.” The person in charge of the Ninth Unit handed over the black cat to Chen Yang with relief. He could finally dump this troublemaker away.

Could this black cat be his partner’s pet? Chen Yang wondered. He also liked this black cat very much, so he was happy to keep it.

Until the weekend; he took the black cat home together for dinner…

“Who are you?” As soon as Chen Yang saw the black cat Chen Yang was holding in his arms, she raised her hand and a talisman came flying.

“Meow!”

Before Chen Yang could stop it, the black cat made a beautiful leap, rolled in the air, and landed lightly on the wool carpet in the living room, transforming into a cold young girl in a black dress.

I-I’ve been hugging…a woman for the past few days?

Chen Yang was instantly petrified.

“Lao Chen, come and see. My son has brought a woman back,” Mother Chen shouted gleefully.

“Sister-in-law?” Chen Yu was also puzzled.

“Where, where?” Mayor Chen hurriedly rushed down from upstairs.

No…No she isn’t! You guys misunderstood! It’s the first time I met her too!
