The previous day, the team had raided the lair of the superpower cult, capturing Claude, the cat demon, in the process. The number of incarcerated superpower criminals was so substantial that even the entire twenty-eight constellations observed the spectacle. Though the members of the Nangong team, led by Tang Aibai, felt pride, they were equally fatigued.
Had Claude not been out of contact, there wouldn't have been plans to patrol Su Fang that night. Following the eradication of a sect, other illegal superpower organizations in the city wouldn't dare to cause trouble, at least for a few weeks, ensuring Su Fang's stability.
Upon receiving Claude's message, Tang Aibai prepared to lead the team to conclude the task. While discussing how to extract information from the superpowered criminals, they hear a man's scream nearby.
Rushing to aid innocent bystanders, they encountered seven drooling Hellcats and fiercely battled fo
"Do you think it's different from what you expected?" Tang Aibai smiled, observing Claude's shocked expression, and explained, "This is the headquarters of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, accessible only to internal members. Hence, the layout here is relatively casual and relaxed."Considering the Twenty-Eight Constellations deal with the darker aspects of the entire constellation and combat super-powered criminals, it's a risky task. Having a comfortable and secure headquarters greatly benefits the mental well-being of its members.Claude comprehended, nodding thoughtfully, showcasing increased respect for the Twenty-Eight Constellations.Tang Aibai glanced at him, pleased that Claude hadn't objected to the statement about exclusive access for members of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. She walked over to the ice cream machine next to the dessert rack and prepared a grass-flavored ice cream cone for Claude. After he fi
The Twenty-Eight Constellations are divided into four departments: the South Palace, North Palace, East Palace, and West Palace. In the South Palace, our primary duties encompass daily patrols, apprehending criminals, and emergency rescue, making us the core force in restraining and combating the superpower sects.Leading Claude out of the interrogation room, Tang Aibai guides him down the corridor while glancing at the superpower criminals confined behind the glass walls."At present, the South Palace team consists of sixteen members, although most are dispersed across various cities on missions. Only three of us are stationed in Sufang City. Initially, it was due to the concentration of superpower sects here and suspicions of other conspiracies. Now, it's because of the hell-cat and hell gate incidents. It's anticipated that we'll remain in Sufang until we confirm the complete closure of the hell gate."Claude observed
During the second period of the afternoon biology class, Claude was frantically taking notes, a pen cap between his teeth, when his right hand suddenly stopped, leaving a black signature on the paper.Outside the lounge of the 28th Mansion headquarters, a member of the Western Palace's delivery team sought entry.Claude continued writing notes as if nothing had happened, a part of his mental energy sinking into the dog pattern, and the small dog lying on the warm bed in the lounge suddenly opened its eyes."Agree to the application, woof," he said, raising his head, his voice soft as if he hadn't yet fully mastered control of his body.As soon as the words were spoken, the lounge door opened from the outside. Two individuals in the 28th Mansion's specialized black uniforms rolled in a metal cart, saluting Claude with a proper military gesture: "Hello, logistics team of the 28th Mansion's Western Pala
As anticipated by Tang Aibai, the lodging place that night was tranquil, resembling a small dog curled up, peacefully asleep in the afternoon's sunniest spot.The hell-cats only emerged around nine o'clock, and by seven or eight, the Nangong team swiftly eradicated them all on their first appearance.Due to their limited knowledge about the hell-cats and their ineffective attacks against them, Tang Aibai and the other two didn't engage directly in the battle, merely providing peripheral support. Yet, even with this limited involvement, Claude's efficiency soared by more than half. Tang Aibai's extensive combat experience and theoretical knowledge were invaluable to the fledgling Claude.As the first rays of sunshine graced the horizon, and the last of the hell-cats dissolved into the morning darkness, Claude stood atop the building, surveying the early hours of the lodging city alongside the Nangong team, a sense of hero
"When the criminals were confined in the headquarters, Tang Aibai didn't anticipate obtaining much information from their confessions."Superpower cults frequently utilize mandatory contracts to control their members. Once they divulge internal secrets, they face immediate death," he explained to Claude. "So, when interrogating cult members, we must focus on indirect and skillful approaches. This aspect will be included in your training later. For now, observe from the sidelines."Claude's ears twitched as he raised his head from eating biscuits while sitting with Penghua. He was still dazed from the tense night patrol and nodded absentmindedly.Simultaneously, he tended to his original body, washing, eating, and preparing for school. Lihua followed Tang Aibai, yawning, ready to observe their routine interrogation.In recent days, Claude had been immersed in combat training in the training room, and
When Claude received Yan Anqing's gift in his civilian guise, he discovered a locator concealed in the bowtie. However, Tang Aibai's urgent message about the hellcat diverted his attention. Engrossed in activities with the 28 constellations, he completely forgot about the bowtie until Yan Anqing mentioned "finding the dog."
As a strong-willed raccoon dog with high speed, jumping ability, and nearly maxed dodge points, Claude was accustomed to employing sneak attacks and engaging in close combat. Unfortunately, with Yan Anqing behind him, he had to abandon his usual advantages and confront the enemy head-on.
"The Dog God has no affiliation with this sect." As the Nangong group traversed the Twenty-Eight Constellations headquarters' corridors, the dog toy finally found its voice.
