Chapter 760 Breaking into the house

Jiang Xia: "…" Everything else about the new cat vest is good, except that it has a little too many legs and a tail hanging down, making it awkward to walk...

He quickly got up, shook out his messy hair, and looked at the ghosts who were watching.

 After a moment, he slowly turned his head and glanced at the ghost mint placed beside his pillow.

　　　…”

　　The rolling mermaid, who was thumping the ground with laughter, noticed the direction of his gaze and froze slightly.

Soon, she got up as if nothing had happened, swam to the side and played with the murderous scroll, pretending that she had done nothing just now.

 The other ghosts immediately changed their expressions to serious expressions. Some of the actors with poor acting skills were caught by other smart people and quickly fled the scene.

　　　…”

 The ghosts onlookers were driven away, and the surrounding area finally became clear.

Jiang Xia recalled the way cats usually walked. After trying it a few times, she gradually got used to it.

Not long after, he successfully reached the place where the mirror was. He jumped up and hooked the edge of the sink, and climbed up. His movements were quite brisk.

 …It’s not difficult to drive a cat.

Jiang Xia nodded secretly, feeling satisfied with her learning ability.

 He raised his head, and a black cat was reflected in the mirror. Its four white paws were set off by the wall of the same color. They were not very conspicuous and looked like they were floating in the air.

Jiang Xia looked at the mirror and raised her paw to press her upright ears. The pointed cat ears were bent down, and then quickly popped up again.

  “…” It feels pretty good. Although essentially puppet clay. But with the bonus of the cat ghost, no matter where you look at it, this is a completely normal and handsome cat.

 Among all the current vests, this cat is probably the most low-key one. Driving it on the street is definitely more low-key than driving Matsuda Jinpei - after all, although there are no visible marks on either of them, Matsuda Jinpei's puppet is a human being after all, and he is a man in black who doesn't look easy to get along with. It is easy to attract attention from all parties.

 …

Jiang Xia paced in front of the mirror and turned around a few times. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

 He turned around, jumped onto the window sill lightly and silently, and jumped from the second floor. Then he passed through the gap in the railing and went straight to Dr. Ali's house.

 It’s rare that I picked up a new vest, and it won’t reveal any secrets... I drove it out to show it to others and recognize their faces.

It is already late at night, and Dr. Ali, a middle-aged and elderly man, must have fallen asleep.

 But according to the usual practice, Huihara Ai should still rely on his youth and thick hair to experiment in the basement all night.

 …

 At Dr. Ali’s house, the windows on the second floor are open.

Jiang Xia was in the cat's vest, spent some time climbing up to the window sill, and rested briefly.

Then it opened the half-opened window, jumped into the house, and headed straight to the basement, which was one of the places where Hui Yuan Ai often stayed up late at night.

 But when I got to the stairs, I looked down. There was no light coming from the crack in the basement door, and it seemed like no one was there.

"…" Jiang Xia walked to the door and listened for a while. Jiang Xia was sure that there was no sound of typing on the keyboard, let alone making coffee or yawning. There was really no one in the room.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and went upstairs, trotting all the way into the bedroom.

Jumped up and grabbed the edge of the bed. Looking over the bed, in the darkness, Hui Yuan Ai was wrapped in a quilt and sleeping soundly.

 Jiangxia: “…”

　　　Night owls don’t stay up late anymore, but today…

But then I thought about it, during the day, Hui Yuan Ai followed them and ran outside for the whole day. And last night, she almost stayed up all night because of a curly-haired man in black who passed by her door... Today's schedule suddenly became normal, which seemed not incomprehensible. Except for Haibara Ai, there is no other suitable and interesting person nearby - the Maori family is not too far away, but at this point, they must have fallen asleep. The only ones who are still awake are probably Belmode, Gin, and Bourbon... In this way, the organization is a group of night owls, but these people's whereabouts are erratic, and they are all busy for various reasons. It is not easy. Caught.

Jiang Xia's mind flashed through various figures, and then marked them with ×'s one by one.

 Finally he raised his head, facing the lonely night outside the window, and sighed quietly. Walking at night in brocade clothes, nothing more than that...

 Let’s come back tomorrow morning.

He reluctantly stood on the edge of the bed and looked at it for a while, making sure that Haihara Ai had really fallen asleep and was not planning to take a nap before getting up to stay up all night. He regretfully left in his new vest, the only one that could see the light.

 …

the next morning.

Jiang Xia, who also slept late, opened his eyes slightly sleepily.

However, although the main body is sleepy, the puppet will not be sleepy. Yesterday's plan to walk the cat can still be implemented.

He quickly summoned some shikigami and let them accumulate and condense. Then he touched the pillow with half-closed eyes, accurately caught the smallest ghost, and threw it into the clay.

 Soon a black cat appeared next to the bed.

 Before going out. Jiang Xia thought for a moment and did not immediately possess the cat. Instead, she pressed the cat's vest down first and drew a "Z" pattern on the pads of its front paws with a pen that was difficult to fade.

Haihara Ai is usually quiet and seems very well-behaved. But when trouble occurs, he likes to make big ones happen. Moreover, she is a "peripheral member of the Anonymous Organization" that Anonymous admitted casually... Except for the fake Uzo's anonymous identity, which can be concealed for a while, other vests that conform to scientific laws can be recognized by her, so as to avoid lack of information in critical moments. And bring trouble.

 The structure of a cat's mouth is not suitable for speaking human language.

The most convenient way to indicate a cat’s identity is indeed the unique “Z” mark.

 After finishing the painting carefully, Jiang Xia looked at it appreciatively.

After the handwriting was completely dry, he threw the body on the bed and possessed it into the cat puppet. I got used to being a cat a little bit.

Then he climbed out of the window skillfully and ran towards the next door.

 …

 The home of Dr. Ali.

 The elderly Dr. Ali got up first.

He stretched out and walked out of the room. When passing by the living room, he suddenly felt something moving in his peripheral vision.

　　　…?”

Dr. Ali was startled, turned around and looked over, and found a black cat lying on the sofa.

Seeing him looking over, the black cat raised the tip of its tail slightly, as if to say hello or to attract the attention of passers-by.

 After looking at each other for two seconds, Dr. Ali couldn't help but walked over.

Then he picked up the cat skillfully and walked all the way to the entrance - there were many cat cages there, several of them empty.

He put the newly picked cat into one of the empty cages and muttered: "Why did it escape..."

Halfway through his words, he found the black cat looking up at him with a complicated expression.

“...Huh?” Dr. Ali touched the top of his half-bald head and suspected that he had seen it wrong: how could a cat have such rich emotions.

 …It should be just a coincidence. For example, this cat is born with a look that hesitates to speak.
