The sun was already high in the sky outside. Ji Zuodao glanced at the sky, then took out his phone, which still had 3% battery left.

I glanced at the time.

"Oh dear, I'm almost three hours late."

Hmm, whatever, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the Moonsea District is incredibly peaceful right now. He goes out on patrol every day, and it's no different from taking a stroll. Nothing happens to him.

Ugh, so boring, so incredibly boring.

Ji Zuodao swayed back and forth, sighing as he went.

In this peaceful and prosperous era, you can't get a single penny of profit.

Even if there's a counterfeit seller on the street, he could stand up for justice, or if some shops are arguing over a few pennies, he could mediate.

He didn't even have a chance to cause trouble... no, he didn't even have a chance to enforce the law!

This job at Bureau 749 is a bit too good to be true.

After a leisurely and dawdling journey, we finally made it to the entrance of the 749th Precinct lobby.

I had just stepped into the lobby, and hadn't even had a chance to move towards the time clock—

"Waaaaah... Wang Dazhuang! You heartless bastard who can't even have children! You dared to trick me! You ripped off my balls, making me childless! I'll fight you to the death!!!"

A shrill, angry roar, accompanied by a cracking sound like something being smashed, suddenly exploded from the reception area!

The entire hall fell silent for a moment.

All the clerical staff, passersby handling business, and even those standing guard at the entrance all turned their heads in unison to look at the source of the sound.

Ji Zuodao's foot, which had already stepped out to check in, froze in mid-air.

The hangover confusion and work-related numbness in my eyes faded away at lightning speed.

Instead, there is an indescribable, dazzling light that sparkles with excitement and a thirst for knowledge!

"Oh ho?!"

His lips slowly parted into a standard, amused smile.

Checking in?

What a load of crap!

Checking in is nothing compared to watching the excitement!

Especially something that sounds so exciting, so informative, and so worth exploring in depth!

Ji Zuodao felt that the last bit of discomfort from his hangover had vanished.

I feel refreshed and energetic; my back doesn't ache and my legs don't feel weak anymore.

He turned his foot and abandoned the time clock without hesitation, taking light and exploratory steps toward the direction where the sound was loudest and most indignant.

"Let me see which brave warrior has added such a bright touch to this otherwise mundane workday!"

He hummed an off-key tune, hands in his pockets, swaying leisurely but not slow at all as he squeezed into the crowd that had already begun to gather.

Ji Zuodao stood on tiptoe, craning his neck to peek through the gaps between the shoulders of the crowd.

"Whoa—a cat demon!"

He laughed.

Inside the hall, a glossy, well-proportioned tabby cat, its fur bristling, was chasing after an investigator, howling loudly.

The investigator ran so fast he was tumbling and crawling, and the back of his uniform was scratched in several places by the cat's claws.

"Meow—!! You surnamed Wang! Wang Dazhuang! You heartless bastard! You ungrateful wretch! I'll fight you to the death! Give me back my testicles! Give me back my happy cat life—!!!"

The tabby cat chased after the cat, howling as it went. Its voice was shrill and filled with grief and indignation, and its grief and indignation were filled with despair. It was so loud that it made people's hearts ache and their eyes water.

Wang Dazhuang, who was being chased, also looked miserable, running away with his head in his hands while shouting his innocence:

"Oh my cat ancestor! This isn't my fault at all! You were the one who said you wanted a job that included room and board, good food, easy work, and preferably a pretty female cat! I patted my chest and found one for you!"

He dodged a pounced cat claw, panting heavily:

"That cat cafe! It's newly opened! 'Meow Planet'! The most upscale in the city! Plenty of imported cat food and canned food! The staff dormitories are luxurious air-conditioned cat houses! There are over a dozen Ragdolls, golden Shaded cats, and silver Shaded cats inside, each one more beautiful than an angel! It perfectly meets your requirements!"

Upon hearing the word "cat café," the cat demon cried even harder, tears streaming down her face.

"Compliant my ass! Didn't you fucking tell me I had to kill my balls before I could get a job?!"

"How should I know!"

Wang Dazhuang was also very aggrieved, "I don't usually go to cat cafes! I thought it was a high-end cattery! Who knew their cats had to go through this process!"

"We'll talk about it later!"

Wang Dazhuang abruptly stopped, turned around, pointed at the tabby cat that had also braked and was baring its teeth at him, his voice rising eight octaves, filled with a sense of frustration:

"You're a demon, for goodness' sake! A demon with sentience! Not an ordinary stray cat! People captured you to perform surgery, so why didn't you run away! Where's your demonic power? Where's your agility?!"

These words should have been kept quiet, because once they were spoken, the tabby cat completely exploded!

All the fur on its body stood up with a "whoosh," and the cat instantly became three times fatter, looking like a hairy hedgehog. Its eyes were wide open, and blood vessels were visible inside.

"Meow—!!!"

It let out a piercing scream, its voice distorted with anger:

"Run?! I'll run my ass off!"

"Wang Dazhuang! You son of a bitch! How dare you say that!"

"I walked into that lousy cat cafe! Those two-legged creatures seemed pretty friendly, they even gave me cat treats! I thought I'd met some good people! But what happened?!"

The tabby cat became more and more excited as it spoke, and its paws scratched several white marks on the ground with a "scratching" sound.

"After I finished eating the cat treat, without saying a word, it grabbed a cage, put me in it, and took me straight to the vet!"

"I thought it was just a formality, a medical check-up! After all, it's a big, reputable company!"

"As soon as I entered that operating room and smelled the disinfectant, I knew something was wrong! But before I could even struggle!"

Its voice was choked with sobs, filled with regret and despair:

"Just one shot! You've got it in my ass! Anesthesia!"

"At that moment, I felt dizzy, my eyelids were drooping, and I was thinking, 'Oh no, oh no,' but my body wouldn't obey me!"

"Wait until I open my eyes again..."

The tabby cat's voice trembled, filled with a devastating grief:

"My balls! My balls! They're gone!!!"

"Cold! Empty! I touched it... Ugh—!!!"

It finally couldn't hold back anymore. It stopped chasing Wang Dazhuang, collapsed onto the smooth marble floor, lay on its back with its four paws in the air, and began to wail loudly.

Tears fell like beads from a broken string from those round cat eyes, "plop plop," quickly wetting a small patch of the ground.

"Meow... Awooo... Gone... All gone... I'm still a '78 baby cat... I just picked up a beautiful calico female cat in the park... We made plans to sunbathe and groom ourselves together tomorrow... Now it's all over... Meow awoooa ...

The sound of crying was so heartbreaking that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it.

It is filled with utter despair for cat life, for love, and for a happy future.

Among the onlookers, several soft-hearted female office workers had already started reaching for tissues.

"Oh dear! Cat brother! Cat ancestor! Please don't do that! Get up! The ground is cold! It's not a good look!"

Wang Dazhuang panicked and rushed over, wanting to help but not daring to. He stood there helplessly circling the tabby cat, which was lying on the ground crying, his face contorted in a bitter expression.

"I'll take responsibility! I'll take responsibility, okay?! I'm sorry, brother, I didn't find out the details! Tell me, how can I make you feel better? As long as I can do it!"

The tabby cat's crying subsided a little. It raised its tearful eyes, glancing at Wang Dazhuang, and asked in a thick nasal voice:

"How will you take responsibility?"

"Well……"

Wang Dazhuang scratched his head, hesitated for a while, and then tentatively said, "How about I take care of that calico female cat in the park for you?"

"..."

The tabby cat sprang up from the ground with a "whoosh," and this time it didn't chase after the other cat. Instead, it turned around and stared intently at a smooth, solid marble pillar in the hall.

Head lowered, hind legs pushed off, striking a standard, resolute, and determined pose—

Charge!

"Don't stop me—!!!"

The tabby cat howled in a tearful voice, its cry echoing through the hall:

"Let me die! Today! Right now! I'll kill myself by crashing into this pillar!"

"I will use my blood! In this lobby of Bureau 749! To write a huge character for 'tragic'—!!!"

Before the words were even finished, the muscles in its hind legs tensed, and it was about to transform into a fierce cat shadow, heading straight for the stone pillar!

"Holy crap! No!"

"Stop it!"

"Cat Bro, calm down!"

The hall instantly descended into chaos.
