The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Kizaki opened his suitcase and stared intently at the deep blue magic gem, his eyes filled with a strange fervor.

What happened half a year ago is still a nightmare that haunts him in the dead of night. He has wanted to gain the power to defeat the Phantom countless times, and he has become somewhat obsessed ever since the turquoise Wind Dragon Magic Gem was stolen.

"Officer Kizaki, Chief Ohashi from the General Affairs Department called to inquire whether the Magic Gem is here!"

What does he want to achieve by asking that?

Kizaki squinted as he closed the box. The call from the other party at this critical juncture seemed rather ill-intentioned!

"I'm not sure about that either, but it's already been transferred to your dedicated line!"

"I understand!" Kizaki waved for his subordinate to leave, picked up the phone, and said seriously, "Hello, this is Kizaki from the Zero Division of the National Security Bureau."

"Hello, Officer Kizaki." The voice on the other end was somewhat deep. "I heard that the gem found in the meteorite is with you?"

"Yes, that's right. Does Director Daqiao have anything to say?"

Give me that gem, and name your price!

Kizaki frowned, his eyes showing displeasure, but he still patiently asked, "Director Ohashi, this gem is of great strategic importance to us right now. May I ask what you intend to do with it?"

"What?" Director Daqiao on the other end of the phone snorted, "That's my business, no need for you to interfere!"

"But I seem to have heard that you have a goddaughter who really likes gemstone jewelry. Could it be related to her?"

Kisaki emphasized the words "god-daughter" with a hint of mockery, "I've also heard that your current status seems to have been obtained through your father-in-law's connections. Should I inform them in advance?"

“…”

After a moment of silence, Director Daqiao gritted his teeth and said, "You win!"

"Dududu..."

The busy tone on the phone brought a smile to Kizaki's face. He put the phone back and plopped down in his chair.

"Why are there all sorts of demons and monsters popping up everywhere?!"

"Bang!" The door was violently kicked open, and the subordinate, his face pale, cried out in panic, "Something bad has happened, Officer Kizaki!"

"what happened?"

"The Aoki Research Institute was attacked by a monster just three minutes ago. It seems the attacker was after the Magic Gem!"

"what?!"

Kizaki, who jumped up from his chair, had an uncertain expression on his face. After his eyes flickered for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's activate Plan B!"

"Yes, sir!" The subordinate nodded. "I'll go prepare right away!"

Three minutes ago, at the entrance of Aoki Research Institute.

Medusa led the Phantom Tiger Men and Gargoyles out from within. "Tsk, I thought it would be an easy victory, but I never expected it to turn out like this!"

"National Security Zero Division, huh?" Medusa scoffed, scratching her chin. "Never heard of it. Probably just another boring organization set up by humans!"

"No one can stop me from obtaining that magic gem. I will carry out the Sage's will to the very end!"

Antique shop, Mianyingtang.

Just as Fa Jie finished changing her clothes and was about to leave, Ali suddenly stopped her: "Qingzi, there's a phone call for you!"

"Who would call me at this time?"

After placing her helmet aside, Sister Fa approached Alex and took the microphone: "Hello, this is Makoto Misao. How can I help you?"

After answering the phone with a normal expression, Sister Fa's brows began to furrow little by little: "Is the source of the information reliable?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll be there right away. Thank you for your hard work, Rin!"

"What's wrong, Haruko?" Alex asked with concern, looking at the worried expression on Fa-jie's face. Fa-jie smiled and comforted him, "It's nothing, don't worry too much!"

"Then you pay attention to safety!"

"Okay!" As soon as Sister Fa, with her long legs striding, reached the door, Wajima Shigeru walked over with two earthen-yellow rings in her hand: "Haruko, these are rings made from the magic gems that were sent to me last time. I think they should come in handy!"

"Thank you very much, Uncle Wajima."

"nothing!"

As a result, the mage with the ring picked up her helmet and went out without stopping, but as soon as she turned her back, her expression became very serious.

"This is going to cause a lot of trouble!"

..........

"Does that guy have kidney problems or bladder problems? Why isn't he out at this hour?"

Miku, who was lying in the grass, looked up at the sun in the sky. It had been almost an hour since Beast Lord went into the toilet, but there was still no sign of him coming out.

Just as Miku was about to go and take a look, Beast Master hurriedly walked out of the public restroom, his right hand covering his pocket and looking very flustered.

"Wait a minute, his reaction is strange!"

Miku, sensing something was wrong, stared intently at Beast Master, but couldn't discern anything amiss. Just then, a group of police officers suddenly rushed out from the National Security Zero Division.

"Damn it, the stuff has been stolen! Quickly get people to chase after it!"

"The culprit must still be nearby. Find him even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"

"Gather all available personnel!"

........

Groups of police officers began their investigation at the headquarters of the National Security Zero Division. After hearing their shouts, Miku suddenly turned around to look at Beast, whose figure was almost out of sight.

"I forgot that Beast's chameleon ring is invisible; what a miscalculation."

Miku clicked his tongue and crawled out of the bushes, following the scent on Beast Lord.

Inside the Guoan Zero-Keit booth, Kizaki sat in his chair, as steady as a mountain.

"how's it going?"

"As planned, the thief stole our counterfeit goods."

"Hmm." Kizaki nodded, looking at the box on the table. "Then let's proceed according to plan!"

"Yes!"

Just then, Medusa arrived at the entrance of the National Security Zero Division with the tiger-man and gargoyles. After randomly grabbing a police officer, she received the news and her eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly: "The magic gem has been stolen?"

"Humph!"

Medusa snorted coldly and just as she threw the police officer out of her hand, Sister Fa, riding a motorcycle, appeared at the other end of the road.

"Tsk, things are getting complicated!"

Medusa, her snake hair now activated, stared coldly at the approaching Mage, while Mage herself removed her gloves and placed her hands on her waist.

......

At this time, although important items had been lost within the National Security Zero Department, everything that needed to be done was still continuing.

After the sanitation worker with the handcart took away the garbage bags from Kizaki's office, he sorted all the garbage as usual and put it into the garbage bins.

Inside the trash can, a barely perceptible light flickered, and an obscure fluctuation spread out in all directions.

Miku, who was tracking Beast Lord, suddenly stiffened, because just now he felt a strange tremor in his heart, as if something was calling to him.

The cat, with starlight shimmering in its eyes, inexplicably changed direction and ran quickly towards the direction of Guoan Zero Science.

"This feeling?"

"Damn it, I've been tricked!"

Gritting his teeth, Miku rushed towards the location he had inexplicably sensed, a hint of impatience in his eyes: "I thought it would be quite simple, but now things seem to be getting complicated!"

The garbage truck arrived on time as usual today. After the workers dumped all the garbage onto the truck, they chatted as they drove off to the next garbage collection point.

A white figure stared intently at the garbage truck. The White Demon, standing upstairs, scoffed disdainfully, "What a boring scheme! These guys always love to pull this kind of thing!"

The White Demon, having dispatched the Cerberus shapeshifter, vanished upstairs. His original plan was to use his identity as a sage to manipulate Medusa and the Phantoms into stealing the Magic Gem, while he himself would use the opportunity to pinpoint its location and seize it under the guise of the White Demon, thus clearing himself of suspicion.

However, more and more unexpected situations are emerging. Putting aside the strange-looking ancient mage, the fact that he is facing Medusa and the others with Wizard makes him feel uneasy.

Fortunately, he had been following Medusa's actions this morning, and with his ability to sense the magic gem, he was able to detect its location. Otherwise, he would have been completely outmaneuvered by those guys today!

However, while using his senses to search for the magic gem, he seemed to have triggered a magical reaction from it, but there was nothing wrong with it, and everything was still under control!

White Demon silently hid in the shadows, using Cerberus to monitor the garbage truck's real-time movements, while Miku followed his senses and headed straight for the moving garbage truck.

"Damn it, why is it constantly moving?"

Miku stopped and snorted, turning his head to look for a while before turning into a side alley.

Amidst the roars of wild beasts in the alley, a figure soared into the sky and disappeared.

Miku, traversing the building, repeatedly checked the fading reaction. Gritting his teeth, he took out the Blood Hunter Ring and transformed into Blood Hunter mode.

Miku, surrounded by crimson smoke, had its tail swaying erratically before suddenly disappearing from its spot.

"Ah Qiao, what are you planning to do after get off work?"

"I haven't decided yet, what about you?"

"I don't know, Zhenli said she wanted to go out for a walk."

"How wonderful, Masato."

As the two workers on the garbage truck were talking, the truck suddenly lurched to a halt, as if it had crashed into a wall.

"what happened?"

The driver, who had just cried out in surprise, was astonished to find a figure shrouded in bloody smoke standing in front of his car.

"This is it!"

Miku, with one hand braced against the hood of the garbage truck, coldly stared at the two terrified drivers inside. "Get out!"

Miku, who spoke coldly, didn't have to wait long. He was still unaware of how many people had their eyes on this magic gem.

To avoid further complications, Miku plans to take action in the most direct way possible!

Before the driver got out of the car within the allotted time, Miku kicked the car, causing it to overturn.

All the garbage on the truck spilled out. Miku, walking along, scanned the garbage with his eyes and finally spotted a grayish cloth bag.

"Got you!"
