I am Master Maoshan

"Who are you afraid of?" Liu Jun asked, his eyes filled with doubt. Judging from the way these cats were behaving, it was as if their natural enemy had arrived.

Logically speaking, such a large pack of wild cats should not pose a threat to them unless they encounter a powerful figure like a god.

However, the voice coming from afar made Liu Jun feel uneasy.

The tabby cat didn't answer Liu Jun's question directly. Instead, it used its sharp claws to quickly write three words in the soil: "Come with me."

After it finished writing, it raised its head, its wise golden eyes fixed on Liu Jun, as if waiting for his response.

Liu Jun hesitated for a few seconds as he looked at the words written by the large tabby cat. But in the end, he nodded and decided to leave with the pack of wild cats.

Just then, a chubby orange cat gently nudged Liu Jun's leg, signaling him to jump onto its back.

Upon seeing this, Liu Jun jumped up without hesitation and grabbed a small handful of orange cat fur with both hands.

Although the big orange cat's body looked a bit bulky, it carried Liu Jun with unusual ease.

With a "whoosh," the big tabby cat leaped out first, like a black lightning bolt slicing through the night sky.

The big orange cat followed closely behind, and the other stray cats seemed to be summoned as well, and they all followed.

Sitting on the back of the big orange cat, Liu Jun felt the wind whistling past his ears, feeling both nervous and excited.

He'd ridden all sorts of mounts before, but this orange cat was a first for him. To be honest, it was very comfortable, like sitting on a waterbed.

As the wildcats ventured deeper into the area, the surrounding scenery became increasingly unfamiliar. The trees grew denser, and the light dimmed.

But Liu Jun was not afraid, because he knew that these mysterious wild cats did not intend to harm him.

And so they continued on their way until a mysterious light appeared ahead.

"Wow, this place is beautiful!" Liu Jun was instantly stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him.

He had never seen such a dreamlike scene before, as if he had stepped into a fairy tale world.

The ground here is covered with purple grass, with delicate flowers swaying on slender stems, somewhat like a large field of lavender, emitting a faint fragrance, which is very beautiful.

In this purple sea, many wild cats roam about, running, rolling, and playing, full of life and energy.

These wildcats have different colors of fur; some are pure white like snow, some are as black as night, and some have colorful patterns.

When Liu Jun saw these little wildcats, he immediately realized that the big tabby cat had taken him back to its den.

He looked around and saw a simple hut made of branches and dry grass in the middle of the purple meadow, which was obviously the home of the big tabby cat and the little wildcats.

When the tabby cat returned, the kittens immediately surrounded it. Some rubbed against its legs, some jumped onto its back, and others meowed, seemingly welcoming its return.

Liu Jun counted them, and there were actually several hundred wild cats. He could clearly see the expression of utter despair on the big tabby cat's face.

See, it's not just humans; even cats can't handle their own mischievous kids.

"Meow—" the big tabby cat meowed softly, its voice carrying a hint of majesty.

The surrounding stray cats reluctantly dispersed, but they also curiously observed Liu Jun, this peculiar creature, from a distance.

They either squatted on the grass, raised their tails, or blinked their eyes, as if wondering who this unexpected visitor was.

The large tabby cat strolled leisurely to the simple thatched hut, found a comfortable spot, and lay down. Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the hut, dappling its body and giving it a silvery glow.

Liu Jun blinked, his eyes full of curiosity and confusion, and followed the big tabby cat quietly to the edge of the thatched hut.

He crouched down, trying to appear harmless, and then cautiously asked, "Um, Cat Bro, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

He had assumed that the mysterious tabby cat would communicate with him by writing words on the ground with its paws, just like before.

However, this time the tabby cat only glanced at him lazily, and then a warm and gentle spiritual power quietly flowed into his mind.

Having learned from his previous experience, Liu Jun was well-prepared this time. He did not allow this sudden spiritual power to be driven away by his willpower, but instead opened his heart and successfully received the information.

Immediately afterwards, vivid images flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

The scene begins with three imposing figures hovering in mid-air, their tall and majestic forms surrounded by an aura of mystery. These three figures appear to be discussing something important, but due to the distance in the frame, Liu Jun cannot hear their conversation clearly.

However, in the next second, these three previously calm bigwigs suddenly started fighting, and the scene instantly became breathtaking.

Their attacks were as fierce as a storm, each collision accompanied by deafening roars and dazzling light, as if they were about to devour the entire world.

After the battle had continued for some time, the scene shifted again. Two of the powerful figures had already perished, their bodies transforming into starlight and dissipating into the void. The third powerful figure, though he had miraculously survived, was severely injured and on the verge of death.

Just then, a triangular metal object suddenly appeared from the shadows and struck the seriously injured boss with lightning speed.

With a piercing scream, the third big shot also perished, his body turning into starlight and dissipating into the world.

With the fall of the three powerful figures, the world seemed to lose all color. The final image freezes on a massive, deep, and dangerous valley, seemingly capable of swallowing everything.

Liu Jun knew that this must be the later Burial Valley of Gods, a place full of danger.

"Huh? No, this triangular object?" Liu Jun's eyes widened suddenly, a surge of indescribable surprise welling up inside him.

He carefully recalled the scene he had just witnessed; the smooth lines, the cold metallic style, and the unique aura all felt incredibly familiar to him.

Isn't this the ZB2? It's not just identical, it's practically a carbon copy.

Liu Jun couldn't help but shout, "Dude, come out here and tell me, what did you do back then? How did you suddenly become like this?"

As he spoke, he didn't shy away from the large tabby cat in front of him and directly summoned the AI ​​No. 2.

The AI-powered No. 2 flashed slightly in the air and transformed back into the shape of a metal triangular object, quietly hovering above Liu Jun's palm.

However, the tabby cat's fur instantly bristled when it saw the AI-powered No. 2. It jumped up, baring its teeth, its fur standing on end, as if it had encountered the greatest enemy it had ever faced.

At this moment, its eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility as it stared intently at the AI-powered No. 2, as if it were about to pounce on it and tear it to pieces at any moment.

"Don't misunderstand, it definitely didn't ambush that powerful triangular object." Liu Jun quickly comforted the tabby cat, gently stroking its back as he tried to explain, "It just looks like that object, it doesn't have any malicious intent."

However, the tabby cat wouldn't listen to his explanation at all. Its eyes were fixed on the cold, metallic figure of AI-Powered 2, as if AI-Powered 2 was its greatest enemy. No matter how Liu Jun tried to calm it down, it couldn't.

"Change your form," Liu Jun sighed helplessly and said to the AI-powered No. 2.

He hoped that the AI-powered system could be made more acceptable to the tabby cat to alleviate this unwarranted hostility.

The AI-powered device shuddered slightly and then began to change. Its metal body began to twist and deform, gradually transforming into a small and exquisite smart bracelet.

Seeing that the AI-powered system had changed like this, the tabby cat's gaze finally softened somewhat. Although it remained alert, it was no longer as agitated as before.

Liu Jun was overjoyed to see this, knowing that the crisis had finally been temporarily averted.

"Beep, I don't quite understand what you just said. What exactly was the time? I need to search the database to confirm." The voice of AI-powered No. 2 carried a hint of mechanical indifference.

Liu Jun frowned and looked at the big tabby cat beside him. "Brother Cat, could you send the footage again? I need to take another look at that detail."

The large tabby cat's gaze lingered on Liu Jun for a moment, as if weighing something. Finally, it hesitantly nodded, gathering the spiritual power it had just transferred to Liu Jun again, and slowly transmitting it back.

The AI-powered system immediately intercepted the mental energy and began to restore the previous scene. Everything in the scene gradually became clear, and Liu Jun stared intently at the screen, afraid of missing any detail.

"It's a fake Number One!" the voice of AI Number Two suddenly rang out, carrying an undeniable certainty.

Liu Jun was taken aback upon hearing this, then frowned. "What pseudo-Number One? Isn't AI Number One supposed to be in that God King's Tomb? How did it end up here?"

The voice of AI-Powered 2 sounded again, with a hint of explanation. "This machine is referring to Pseudo-Number One, the failed prototype from back then. AI-Powered 1, on the other hand, is a successful prototype, currently running amok in the God King's Tomb. There is a fundamental difference between the two."

Liu Jun nodded upon hearing this, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate. "Then what's the difference between the two? Besides the fact that one succeeded and the other failed?"

The AI-powered system remained silent for a moment, seemingly pondering how to explain the problem in the simplest terms.

"Simply put, they are like two people with similar names, one named Elizabeth and the other Elizabeth Juan. Elizabeth represents madness and being out of control, while Elizabeth Juan, although also insane, is at most neurotic and still within a controllable range. That is the difference between them."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. You hadn't even produced it yet back then, how did you know all this?"

The voice of AI-Powered Number Two carried a hint of pride. "As a member of the AI ​​family, it's natural for this machine to be familiar with this history. Moreover, the incident involving the fake Number One and AI-Powered Number One was a major event that caused a sensation back then." (End of Chapter)
