The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Alright, you still don't trust me?" Fa Jie, having taken the coffee, pushed Alex towards the stairwell leading to the second floor. "All you need to do now is stay upstairs. No matter who comes, I'll take them down. After all, I'm your last hope!"

She raised the ring on her left middle finger, a smile on her face.

"Then be careful!" With a pained expression on his pale face, Alex followed her upstairs step by step. After Alex left, Sister Fa sighed and pinched her forehead with her fingers.

His eyes were full of exhaustion. These Phantoms were so annoying. They would come and cause damage and then leave without giving him any time to react. He hadn't slept for two days and was only able to stay awake by drinking coffee.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll collapse from exhaustion before I even get hit!

"We have to think of a way!" Sister Fa, rubbing her temples, walked towards the sofa, while Alex on the second floor listened carefully to the commotion downstairs.

Two small hands were clenched tightly together, the white capillaries clearly visible on their hands, which became taut from the force.

"Crack!"

Just then, a crisp sound came from Alex's hand, freezing the girl's expression!

Chapter 83: The White Demon in Action, Miku Captured!

"Crack!"

A crisp, clearly audible sound echoed in the silent room, and Alex's frozen expression gradually turned to terror.

The skin on the back of her right hand cracked open, turning into sand like weathered rock, leaving only a dark crack.

Through the crack, one could see the magic flowing inside, and a dark red glow flickered near the crack, seemingly indicating that it was about to spread again.

Why is my hand like this?

Alex raised his right hand and looked fearfully at the crack on his hand, with tiny grains of sand constantly dripping from the edge of the crack.

"Ugh..."

In a corner of the room, the black Cerberus plastic beast witnessed this scene, and its three heads shook in unison, emitting a soft whimper.

But soon, the three-headed dog turned and left Alex's room. On the first floor, Sister Fa leaned against the sofa, closed her eyes and took a nap, her arms crossed over her chest, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

........

At the Fueki residence, Fueki Kanade, who had just finished his daily exercise, frowned and looked to the side. A three-headed dog covered in grass clippings was running quickly toward him from the bushes.

"Has something happened to Alex?"

When asked by Fueki, the three-headed dog nodded and its eyes lit up on its middle head.

An image was projected into the air, showing Alex's broken right hand.

"This is..."

Fueki Kanade's expression changed drastically, turning panicked instantly. But after taking a deep breath and forcibly calming herself, she blinked and said, "Alex's body can't hold on much longer. It looks like we have to carry out the final stage of the plan!"

Putting away the three-headed dog, Fen Muzou walked into the house and entered the basement with practiced ease.

Inside the basement, two blank-faced figures stood motionless, their faces illuminated by the glowing magic circle beneath their feet.

One of them was none other than Mayu Inamori, who disappeared after following Kanade Fueki.

"Now it's your turn to move in!"

Fueki Kanade pressed her right hand against her waist, and a strange light flashed in the eyes of Inamori Mayu and the boy beside her. They slowly raised their heads.

"Yes, Master!"

After sending out the two newly recruited magicians who had already become his puppets, Fueki Kanade stood in the basement for a long time.

"I have to go there myself to deal with that cat. With such a rapid evolution speed, it'll probably take some effort!"

With a blank expression, Fueki Kanade put on her transformation ring and walked out of the basement. After a golden magic circle flashed, the pure white Fueki Kanade emerged from her house.

Standing at the door for a moment, looking at the home that held his most beautiful memories, he murmured, "Alex, don't be afraid. I'll succeed soon, and then we can be like before!"

"Very soon!"

"Teleport Now!"

Amidst the chanting of magic, the White Demon's figure vanished from his own doorstep.

Inside Serena's apartment in the port area.

"Haa~~~Yawn"

Miku, yawning with his mouth wide open, lay lazily on the cat tree, basking in the sun. The sunlight was perfect, and with the apartment's excellent natural light, the cat, warmed all over, squinted his eyes and let out a soft snore.

His plan successfully stirred up the waters, drawing everyone's attention to the Shadow Hall. And to prevent the plan from failing, he had a backup plan.

After all, sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry. Things happen so fast that no one can react in time!

So far, Miku has felt his condition slowly improving, much better than before when he couldn't use any magic at all. This is also a sign that his evolution is nearing its end.

Presumably, in a few days, he will be able to obtain a new ring and new power, and then emerge from seclusion to smash that old thief, Dimu Zou.

He still remembers how that bastard threw Iggy around back then.

"comfortable!"

The cat, still half asleep, lazily rolled over and lay on its back on the cat tree, exposing its belly.

Serena glanced at Miku as she passed through the reception room and smiled slightly at his behavior.

"Hey hey, this guy is actually pretty cute most of the time, he's just too lazy!"

Serena shook her head after speaking softly, then turned and left the reception room, wanting to finish her work as soon as possible.

As time went by, her premonition grew stronger; the day Miku was to leave was drawing near.

Before Serena could return to her room, Fumiko's white figure appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

"You are...."

"It's great to see you again! The ring you made for me back then was really nice!"

The White Demon raised his hand with a sinister smile, and Serena took a wary step back. "What do you want to do?"

"What?"

With her head tilted to the side, Fimukura approached Serina step by step. "I just want to take that cat back. Everything he has is what I gave him, and now it's his turn to repay me!"

"But before that, I need your help!"

With arms outstretched like lightning, Fimukura quickly grabbed Serina by the neck and lifted her up.

"Woof!"

With a fierce bark, Iggy leaped out of the corridor and bit the White Demon's calf.

Looking at his sparkling calves, the White Demon snorted coldly and stomped heavily on the floor. Iggy let out a wail and was sent flying.

"And you, the one who slipped through the net back then!" The voice emanating from the White Demon, who had bound Iggy with magic, was incredibly cold as it spoke: "Although I don't know how you survived the Witch's Banquet back then, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I've already gathered everything I wanted!"

With one hand gripping Serena, the White Demon used the other to control Iggy, who was baring his teeth and making a fierce face.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."

The deep footsteps echoed in the hallway. Miku, perched on the cat tree in the living room, twitched its ears and turned its head to look at the door with obvious displeasure: "Can't you let me sleep a little longer?"

"Sleep a little longer?"

The White Demon walked in through the door and sneered, "You'll have plenty of time to sleep from now on!"

"Playing the flute?"

Upon seeing Fueki, Miku's expression shifted, and he jumped up from the cat tree. When he saw the person and dog being held hostage by the White Demon, his expression turned very ugly.

Why are you here?

"Because it's time for you to repay everything you owe me!"

As the White Demon spoke, he tightened his grip on Serena's hand, causing Iggy's body to curl up as if under pressure from all directions, while he continued to wail.

"Why did this guy show up at this time?!"

Miku, though anxious, showed no sign of it. Instead, he stared intently at Bai Mo with eyes full of murderous intent and ferocity.

His own evolution is nearing its end. In just a few more days, no, just one or two more days, he will be able to obtain his own ultimate power.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the White Demon Flute Muzou suddenly appeared!

"Where exactly did things go wrong? Why did the White Demon make his move at this crucial moment? Weren't we still one short?"

This turn of events was completely unexpected for Miku. He had anticipated that Fumiko would be keeping a close eye on Ali at this moment, and wouldn't have suddenly taken any action.

unless...

"hiss....."

A thought flashed through Miku's mind, and she gasped, "Could it be that Alex isn't going to make it?"

Miku, his mind racing, stared at the White Demon, but made no move.

In this situation, not only do I have no chance to fight back, but the other side is also holding hostages. If I make a rash move, not only will I get hurt, but Serena and Iggy will also be unable to escape.

"Don't even think about resisting. If you do, do you think you'll be faster, or I'll be faster at crushing them?"

The White Demon stared coldly at Miku, increasing the pressure on his hand. Serena screamed in pain, while Iggy hissed incessantly, trying to bite the white creature to death.

"call..."

Miku closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and relaxed his tense muscles. He slowly said, "I understand. I will go with you."

"But you have to let them go!"

“A wise choice!” The White Demon swept his right hand across his waist. “Chain Now!”

White chains covered with mysterious incantations bound Miku into a giant dumpling, leaving only her cat head sticking out.

I hope you'll keep your word!

Miku, who had been unwilling to give up, glanced at the White Demon and, under the influence of the chains, slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, White Demon immediately released Serena and Iggy, pulled Miku towards him, reset the driver wheel at his waist, activated the teleportation ring, and disappeared in front of Serena.

On the other side, at the Shadow Hall.

Sister Fa was startled awake by the sudden doorbell ringing. She turned around abruptly and saw a man and a woman walk in.
