Chapter 27: Sugar, Come Home with Me (1/2)

“Number twenty-three.”

“…I am here.”

“There was a man in the West District who adopted a cat demi-human. I believe that soon the people from the Country Bio-Scientific Institute would approach him. That man has a physique that attracted demi-humans, which is very useful to our organization. But to avoid alerting the Bio-Scientific Institute, you should contact him first. If he joins the Bio-Scientific Institute, you will eliminate him afterward!”

“What if he doesn’t join?”

“Then it will be our problem, not yours. You just focus on your own mission! This is your first mission, and you cannot have any mishaps, understand?”

“…Yes.”

The night was enchanting, with torrential rains pouring outside, and the constant patter on the windows was endless.

Under the cover of dark clouds, the moonlight could not shine at all, leaving the room completely in darkness.

Relying on her night vision skills, she quietly opened Shen Cheng’s room door and entered, moving with silent grace.

Looking at Shen Cheng, who was softly snoring on the bed, Sugar bit her lip and took out a short knife from her pocket.

—Eliminate him.

The man’s voice echoed like a spell in her ear. Seeing her own hand holding the knife trembling slightly, she took a deep breath to try and calm herself, but her hand only shook even more uncontrollably.

—Kill him.

Eliminate him, kill him, eliminate him, kill him, eliminate him, kill him, eliminate him, kill him…

After a moment of daze, Sugar realized her vision had blurred without her noticing.

“I am the weapon of the organization, following orders to eliminate any threats to the organization. That is the meaning of my existence, because I am demi-humans…”

— Maybe the meaning of your existence is to live together with us?

Shen Cheng’s gentle voice suddenly interrupted Sugar’s thoughts.

As if a string in her mind suddenly snapped, Sugar took two fearful steps back, almost dropping the knife in her hand, tears streaming down: “No… please don’t…”

Turning around, Sugar ran out of the room in panic, and soon after there was the sound of a door opening and descending footsteps.

Finally, after the sound of a Cat Café door being pushed open, everything returned to silence inside the room.

Lying in the bed, Shen Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, with a flash of light in his pupils, showing no sign of sleepiness, obviously having been awake the whole time.

Staring at the ceiling, Shen Cheng murmured emotionlessly:

“Stupid cat, it’s so late, and it’s raining heavily outside, where do you plan to run to?”

Large raindrops beat against her face, the biting coldness almost piercing to the bone, the streetlights outside were off, and the penetrating fear brought by surrounding darkness continuously grew and spread in her heart, the oppressive feeling in her chest almost suffocating her.

She didn’t know where she was, and she didn’t know where she was going next, just blindly running, running, and running…

Should she go back to the organization? Having failed the mission, she would definitely face severe punishment and would have her memories from this time erased.

Erasing memories…

Faces of Cheese, Lin Yuhui, Wen Yuanyuan, and also Shen Cheng’s deeply ingrained gentle smile flashed through her mind.
