But before she could relax, the Jinhua Cat, which had fled to the door, suddenly stopped. It turned around at the entrance, arched its body, wagged its tail, and then leaped forward a few steps, like a meteor, landing on the desk in front of Huangfu Jun. It advanced step by step, forcing Huangfu Jun to lean back, baring its teeth and letting out a sharp laugh. "Didn't expect a little waste like you to have such quick reflexes."
Huangfu Jun stood up to flee, but a thick black mist suddenly surged before her eyes, instantly filling the entire classroom.
It turned pitch dark, and the classroom seemed to fall into a dark, void-like world.
Huangfu Jun turned around in panic. Everyone in the class stood up, as if controlled, eyes vacant, lifeless, including Li Ying.
Huangfu Jun held her breath and focused, her gaze fixed on the black cat. The dark environment actually helped her, making her vision clearer.
With the swing of the black cat's tail, she vaguely saw a faintly glowing thin line. She clenched her fists tightly, and the world before her became even clearer.
That glowing white thin line twisted and turned, straight toward Li Ying's direction.
Huangfu Jun scanned with the corner of her eye. The end of the thin line was indeed connected to Li Ying's heart.
Huangfu Jun called out in her brainwaves: [Captain Bai, what is that line?]
Bai Lin's low voice sounded: [That's the demonic connection between the cat demon and the host. If it's completely severed, the possessed person can be saved.]
[How do I sever it?] Huangfu Jun frowned.
[You need to figure it out yourself.]
Huangfu Jun: "..."
[Then what do I need to do to break this situation?]
Bai Lin: [Insufficient points. Unable to unlock strategy aid.]
Huangfu Jun: [...]
She had fallen into a dead end faster than he had imagined. It seemed the moment she would kneel and beg him was coming soon.
Huangfu Jun bit her lip, then had a sudden inspiration. [Captain Bai, I've never had parents since I was little. I moved often. Growing up, besides studying hard, I did all kinds of part-time jobs. I don't have many friends. Before I get beaten to death by this cat demon, it's good to have met such a wonderful friend like you, letting me see a broader world. I have no regrets.]
[I might die under this little cat demon's claws. I'll try to be brave and not tarnish your glorious image as a demon administrator. I have an elderly relative at home who is sick. If I unfortunately pass away, I hope you can take care of my grandmother in your busy schedule. Her name is Tang Yaohe...]
By this point, her voice in the brainwaves was already trembling faintly.
There was fear, but more of a forced bravery (this part was fake~)
Bai Lin paused. He only wanted to torment her severely, but just hearing a slight tremor in her voice made his heart feel as if gripped by a large hand, squeezing it until he couldn't breathe.
On the other side, Huangfu Jun took a deep breath.
She didn't believe that just a few pathetic words could change the mind of the cold demon silver-haired man. This was only the first step. She would need to add more later to possibly gain a glimmer of hope.
Bai Lin: [If you have a way to make the cat demon change its current form, I'll help you.]
Huangfu Jun's eyes lit up. Did Bai Lin change his mind?! Things were going so smoothly?
Bai Lin could only hear Huangfu Jun's brainwave communication, not read her inner thoughts. He finally ground his molars fiercely. Perhaps, to make the system disguise convincing, he couldn't be too cold, or she might see through him.
He would only agree this once. He was not soft-hearted. A gentleman seeks revenge even after ten years. He had plenty of time and patience.
