A bizarre sight even for Yunzheng as he saw the moving smoke coming from Gilbert and entered through the orifices of a full grown man. As if he couldn't breathe, the man held his neck, choking and his eyes bulged out until at last, he slumped to the ground. Eyes rolled backwards while Gilbert landed with a hop. [A Side Task has Appeared!] [Side Task : Escape the building with Gilbert's help in less than an hour! Rewards : Gilbert's level +5Failure : Suspend Gilbert for a few weeks.]Skimming through the notification, another shout ensued. This time, it sounded familiar and when Yunzheng glanced at the direction of the voice, there was a struggle between a full grown man and a cat which he couldn't touch. "You cannot be so rough to the soon-to-be noble, nya!"With its feet materialized out of the drifting smoke, Gilbert clawed the man's mask and knocked it away. The scarred feature had been displayed for the world to see and the man tried to cover his face with his hand. Still, th
It has always been a bad day for Chen Yue. Things in life have never been brightening up for her and at times, her hard work pays nothing. Sometimes, she would be assigned to a task which nobody wanted to get and most of the time, things went awry outside of her control. "So, how many people get injured, exactly?"When she said those words, she could feel her stomach churning and threatened her last lunch to get out of her system. As she walked beside her colleague, who flipped the stacked reports on his hand while they were both walking through the wrecked hallways filled with cracks and holes, the man finally replied. "Fifteen heavy injuries, twenty six minor injuries and light concussions, but there's four deaths of which two of them were Guardians, ma'am."The scene of a bellied pot, balding short man yelling at her face had appeared instantly in her mind. The day was when her team scheduled to watch over the newest troublemaker with abilities undetected by any sort of machines
While Yunzheng rode the wind in his wake, many kinds of thoughts raced in his head and some of them were just as he had expected. Recalling the brief moment he had when browsing through the document of his family back then, there was another piece of information that stated he was among the deceased. The official statement said how his entire body was devoured by Hofgast, the name of the gigantic monster back then which devastated a group of soldiers with ease. Information they gathered from some random witnesses on the scene and not to mention he was missing for all this time, it wasn't wrong for the government to declare him dead.That gave birth to a question which he was dying to know of. Whose body he was using right now? Through the reflection of glass that he had seen before, his face definitely looked like him, same height and same birthmark, a little mole right on his neck. Granted that his body was a little sluggish now than before, but that was because his body hadn't reta
As the sun slowly set from afar, Yunzheng enjoyed the strong breeze of autumn whilst he munched upon a half eaten hot dog in his hand and a bunch of food inside a plastic bag beside him. Both of his feet dangle on top of one of the skyscrapers, watching the bustling crowd and passing vehicles below."Master, this one found the nest of some thugs distance from this place."Gilbert's voice rang behind him, reminding him that he wasn't alone in his 'homeless venture'. After the disappearance of the cat, Yuzheng managed to steal another Exwatch which had a password in effect, making him unable to use it in the slightest and leaving it back at the entrance of the cafe. Still with no money and no place to call home, Yunzheng let out an almost inaudible sigh before he rose and turned to face Gilbert. Gilbert's small stature and twitching ears birth curiosity of his backstory along with the urge to pat the cute head. Still, he dispelled those thoughts instantly, focusing on the matter at han
When the cloud of dust scattered around, Yunzheng rushed with a palm open wide. Before the boy could react, the strike hit him right on his neck as he subconsciously choked in response before Yunzheng went to execute a few sets of punching moves in a single breath. Each strike felt like a hammer, which made the boy both confused and bewildered, seeing how his gigantic state should lessen the strength behind the impact. Unable to keep up with Yunzheng's pace, the boy threw a wide sweep of his hand in hope to bash through his foe. Unfortunately, Yunzheng easily ducked and then leapt to grab his opponent's neck. In a blink of an eye, a surge of life force flowed from the boy to Yunzheng, causing the former to return to his normal form as he struggled free of the iron grip. In a short amount of time, the abundant and boundless strength seeped away from his limbs and the boy felt deep despair within. Before his arms could fall in weakness, Yunzheng took back his hand. Sparing the life o
When the sunlight touched upon the wrecked room, Yunzheng had been stirred from his slumber and the corner. Despite the overwhelmingly energy coursing through his body, a sense of weariness which hammering on his head caused him to fail to find his strength. In a few attempts, he rose to his feet, indulging at the scene of havoc which he caused during the whole night.With a little twist to his neck, it cracked and he relaxed the stiffened joints before a drifting smoke found its way before him, reshaping itself into a black cat who stared at him in the same gaze of someone who didn't notice nor care about the scattered pieces around them. "Good morning, master. This one wanted to tell you that perhaps, your outburst last night had attracted some unwanted curiosity."In his frown, Yunzheng was about to probe further but Gilbert displayed his opened paw and conjured surging smokes that formed small figurines and the surrounding environment.There, some passing guests had sent their gl
As the drifting putrid stench filled the dimly lit alley, a shadow flashed before a tiny squeak was uttered. The little creature tiptoed carefully in its stride, eyes wary of the surroundings but still fixated upon a half chewed piece of ham in the middle of a muddy puddle. Before it could grab its prey, a series of footsteps echoed, bringing its ears to twitch as it realized the sounds became closer in rapid speed. Soon enough, a figure way bigger than it was rushing forward, stomping at the puddle and scurrying away the critter. The figure gritted his teeth and sweats drenched the black shirt veiled by his fake, cheap leather jacket he found in some rundown shop. One of his eyes was swelling and he felt the pain and aches coming all over his body in this marathon. Still, he kept running, didn't turn his head even once, and tried to regulate his breath and posture, so he could run a little bit longer. His sprint led him to a crossroads to which he finally stopped and felt his eyes
"Another murder report?"Saying those words wither raised eyebrows, Chen Yue titled her head which was held by her hand as she continued her queries, "Let me guess, their corpse looks a little shriveled, mutilated by some sort of sharp object, and found in either alleyways or some ongoing construction building?"The man in front of her, whose appearance didn't seem to be more than forties, shrugged his shoulders and handed her a stack of papers. Placing them on the desk, she browsed through some of them before sighed heavily. "Is there anything else?" she asked, when she noticed the man still hadn't left her office. "The captain ain't happy with how slow the investigation went, Xiao Yue. You need to keep looking out for our escaped prisoner that day.""Me and my team have done our best and will continue to do so, please tell our captain that."Shaking his head, the man turned around and spoke out before closing the door, "Your business. I ain't no pigeon. I already said what he want
