"I like your news, Sir. The old drunkard will like it too. Although he has a bad temper, he can still wait for this time."
The clockmaker nodded with satisfaction.
"Then, we have a unified opinion on how to deal with the Nuoding Hill family."
Julie was also very pleased. "Is there anyone else who wants to exchange information?"
"Me!"
The white cat sorceress stood up and looked around. "I've accepted a commission from the school to hunt down a mysterious person! She is a follower of Damo, belonging to the School of Nature in the Wilderness Church! "
"A woman?"
The shadow spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, we think that Damo's domain is' Fallen '. This woman is very dangerous … From the current information, she should have passed the Pure White Wilderness and is a' Transcendent '. This is her sketch!"
The white cat witch handed out sketches that she had prepared beforehand.
Chung Shen-soo heard the painter snort. Obviously, he had some opinions about the person who drew the sketches.
He looked at the sketch in his hand and found that it was the face of a young woman with delicate facial features, a pair of round eyes and a small nose.
"Understood, I will send people to find her."
To Chung Shen-soo's surprise, Julie was the first to respond.
Seeing that he seemed a little surprised, Molly, who had a good impression of him, immediately explained, "The Coiled Serpent hates Damo because there is a legend that in addition to fate, the Coiled Serpent is also involved in the domain of original sin. It is the master of the Seven Deadly Sins … This caused a disagreement with Damo. After all, Damo controls' Fallen '… For the great beings, they may not value power, but the symbolic meaning is very important. This is also worth their followers being hostile to each other, targeting, and even killing each other …"
"If I want to kill this woman, it is normal, but white cat witch, the school behind you believes in the 'Lost Names', right?"
Julie said, "Why target this woman? By the way, what is her name? "
"Cadilyn Burns! That is her name. As for why my school wants to kill her, it is because she stole a very confidential manuscript from our school. "
The white cat witch replied.
The 'Lost Names' was also a great being. The school that the white cat witch belonged to believed that there were a total of twelve great gods, and together they formed the source of all mysteries.
One of them had his history hidden by the Keeper of Secrets, so no one remembered his name.
This person was none other than the Lost Name!
Because it was forgotten, this existence had a relatively good relationship with the other great existences, except for the Secret Keeper.
"Then, what's the reward from your school? Along with the documents! "
Butcher asked loudly.
The white cat witch took a deep breath. "A Scarlet Key. It can guide you to the Scarlet River!"
Chung Shen-soo's eyes lit up. At the same time, he saw Butcher and Detective smile. "Deal!"
After waiting for no one to come forward to exchange information, Julie announced that the gathering would move on to the next stage, trading items.
The few Bloody Marys that Chung Shen-soo brought were sold at a good price.
On the other hand, no one was interested in the painter's paintings.
In addition, the spiritual materials of the white cat witch and a few small alchemy items of the clockmaker were also sought after.
Especially that knight. He should be a rich man in the real world. His extravagance in spending US dollars was only slightly less than Chung Shen-soo's.
After everything was over, Julie announced that the meeting was adjourned.
Everyone left one after another. It was already early in the morning.
It was also time for the all-night party in the villa above ground to end. People left in twos and threes.
The participants of the gathering could hide among them without being conspicuous at all.
Chung Shen-soo walked in a circle, looked at the sun that had just risen, and went straight home to sleep.
His routine in this world had already been abandoned. Morning began at night, and he used the day to sleep.
…
It was another early morning.
Chung Shen-soo walked back to 25 Merlin Avenue. He passed by the garden and was about to return to his room to rest.
Suddenly, he saw his two sisters, Carmella and Jennifer, running back from outside. They seemed to be carrying something in their arms.
"What's that?"
He called out to Carmella and saw a black, furry thing in Jennifer's arms.
"This is a kitten that Jennifer picked up on the road!"
Carmella said to Chung Shen-soo as she held the furry ball.
"Yeah, I picked it up on the road. It seemed to be injured, and it looked really pitiful … Big Sister said it was very cute, so we brought it home."
Jennifer answered very innocently.
"Yeah …"
Chung Shen-soo nodded. Little girls loved pets, so it was normal for them to pick up kittens and puppies to raise.
Jennifer sucked on her little finger and added, "It's still a piece of meat, although it's a little sour …"
"Cough cough …"
Chung Shen-soo was caught off guard and coughed twice. He looked at the kitten, which was also bristling with anger, and asked in disbelief, "What did you just say?"
Only then did he realize that the way the two sisters looked at the black kitten was not out of love for pets. It was more like … they were looking at a piece of bread.
"Didn't Madam Mary treat us to a meal before?"
Carmella replied disapprovingly.
Chung Shen-soo searched through Li Wei's memories and suddenly understood.
In order to survive, the people in the slums would eat anything. When there was a real famine, those small animals were naturally the best source of protein.
"What's the point of talking about etiquette with a bunch of starving people? What a joke …"
"How can a kitten be cute? How can you eat kittens?"
However, when Chung Shen-soo looked at Jennifer's innocent eyes, goosebumps appeared all over his body.
"Alright, it's not like we can't afford meat. Don't think about eating kittens, not even dogs!"
After lecturing his two sisters, he looked at the black ball in Carmella's hands and felt that it was still not safe enough. He casually picked up the kitten and said, "Let me see. Hmm, it's a female kitten!"
"Meow!"
The black female kitten seemed to be insulted and waved its claws rapidly, but Chung Shen-soo easily suppressed it.
"Anyway, this kitten can't be eaten. If you want to keep it, you can … Hmm, it still needs to be sterilized …"
He nodded and returned the kitten to Carmella.
"You can't keep it for meat when it grows up. It's worthless!"
Carmella replied calmly.
"Forget it, let the butler and the maids keep it. At least it can catch mice …"
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand and walked into the house.
Although the black kitten was very intelligent, he did not see any problems with it.
It was really just a very ordinary kitten.
