"So what are we doing? Saying bad things about her? We don't seem to have such a tradition here."

"No, brother! That's not what I'm talking about!"

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding, go on."

Zhe Jianling seemed a little angry and stopped joking immediately. He certainly understood what his sister was worried about.

This is also normal. After all, with Fairy as an unstable factor, the two brothers and sisters will definitely be involved in a dispute in the future.

But since things have already been decided, we can only accept it.

But Ling obviously didn't think so. To her, no matter how much convenience Fairy could provide, it was not as important as her brother's safety.

Not to mention the hidden dangers that Fairy's data acquisition and processing capabilities, which almost everyone dreams of, will bring to them.

Just the fact that the other party said "wait for the opportunity and complete the agreement" is very suspicious, and the other party is not willing to disclose the content of the agreement at all.

Hearing his sister's words revealing her concern for him, Zhe couldn't help but feel touched and couldn't help but reach out and touch Ling's head.

The latter was obviously a little confused about this. After all, they were just discussing important matters. Why did her brother suddenly touch her head?

"Ling, I know what you're worried about, but now that Fairy has come to our house and we've borrowed her abilities, we must take responsibility."

What Zhe meant was that since things had come to this, they should just let things take their course. Ling nodded after hearing this.

"By the way, what would you like for dinner?"

"Well... I won't eat burgers today. Let's have some of my favorite dishes."

"Okay, what would you like to eat, Ling?"

Then the two of them returned to the video store together.

……

One day a few days later, in a familiar environment and scene, Zhe and Ling were watching the latest news in a room on the first floor.

The content was about the renovation of the old capital's subway, and the reporter on TV was still the same one who kept muting last time.

But what about the renovation of the old city subway? I seem to remember that there was such a part in the plot, and speaking of which, it seems that Anbi and the others are out on a commission at the moment.

Looking at the person in charge who appeared on TV, he was a fat old man named Charles Perlman. I didn't know his exact age, but his hair was indeed completely white.

Zhe recalled briefly and if he remembered correctly, this guy was selecting a site and carrying out construction at the same time.

Abandoning civilians to avoid the expense of relocating a large number of people is not a good idea.

Zhe was feeling indignant when Fairy suddenly gave a reminder.

"Alert! Street cameras detected an unidentified person approaching our store at high speed. We suspect she needs to use the restroom, her rental video is about to expire, and she has malicious intent towards our store."

"Something fishy going on? Would someone really want to rob a video store that doesn't seem to be making any money?"

I don’t know why, but Ling’s complaints really make me sad, even though their main source of income isn’t from the video store.

"Okay, don't overthink it. It's probably just an ordinary visitor. I'll go answer the door."

"Humph, I wasn't imagining things. It's all Fairy's fault for making such a strange statement about having a visitor."

Ling said this and followed Zhe, ready to go out to see who the guest was. However, just as they turned the doorknob, the door of the room opened.

A Maoxi girl rushed in from the door with a panicked look on her face and happened to pounce directly on Zhe.

Almost as a subconscious reaction, the girl hugged Zhe's body tightly with her limbs like an octopus, looking like a kitten afraid of falling from a tree.

Following her in came a green Bomb. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this Nicole's?

"Hey, who are you? Why did you suddenly barge in? Don't you know that you are not allowed to enter here? And get off my brother immediately!"

For some reason, Ling spoke loudly and angrily, pointing at the girl who was still clinging to Zhe and refusing to get down.

The girl finally reacted after hearing this. Looking at Zhe's handsome face so close to her, her face turned red instantly.

In fact, it was not that she didn't want to let go, but when she pounced on Zhe just now, she felt that the other person smelled very good, so she was stunned for a moment.

It feels like a cat touching catnip. This is probably partly due to the bonus to the charm value.

And now, after hearing Ling's reminder, the cat girl finally reacted.

In a panic, she loosened her hands and feet, causing her to sit down in front of Zhe, which startled Zhe a little.

After all, this posture was not very good. Realizing this, he immediately took a step back.

The girl here rubbed her little butt while slowly standing up.

"It hurts!"

Although her little butt was still a little numb, the girl stood up and pointed at the TV which was still broadcasting the news.

To be precise, it should be the short and fat man who is speaking on TV.

"Don't believe this short, fat man, he's lying!"

Seeing the girl so anxious, Zhe wanted to calm her down first.

"What do you mean? Don't be so anxious, just speak slowly."

After hearing what Zhe said, the cat girl calmed down for a moment, and only continued speaking after calming down.

"My name is Nekomata, and I know you are Phaethon. I'm here because I have a commission for you! Oh, and by the way, Nicole asked me to come."

Originally, I should have pretended not to know and then added a few words (crossed out).

But Zhe had already noticed Bombu beside Nekomata, and since he was introduced by an acquaintance, there was no need to go through so many twists and turns.

"Did Nicole ask you to come? Where is she now?"

As soon as the cat was mentioned, he instantly became excited again.

"It's the place they mentioned in the news—the blasting area in Yuanjing. That uncle said there was no one there, but that's not true!"

"Haha, why am I not surprised at all?"

Cat cat

Chapter 25: Catching the tail will make you nervous

Although Zhe was not surprised by the occurrence of this situation, after all, even in the peaceful times of the past, there were places that the Public Security Bureau could not see.

What’s more, in today’s post-apocalyptic environment, order has just been rebuilt.

"Okay, but why would Nicole and the others go to the Vision construction site at this hour?"

"Looking for something! My commission is that the Red Fang Gang is looking for trouble. There have been several fights, and there are... a lot of people, like canned fish, meow~"

Although Nekomata was saying something eagerly, Zhe said that the content he obtained was still limited, so he had no choice but to interrupt the other party.

"Calm down. All I can think of when you're talking about this is a massive sale at a mall, and the only thing they're selling is canned fish."

After hearing what Zhe said, Nekomata acted like a child who had done something wrong. He clenched his fists and placed them on his chest, and the two ears on his head drooped.

"This...that...I can't explain it. Oh, right, Nicole's Bomb! It contains the visual data of the past few days. You'll know once you look at it, meow~"

Looking at the Nekomata's expression as if he had found a savior, Ling felt a little reluctant, but she still had to say it.

"Unfortunately, the only parties with the right to export visual data from Bombu, besides its owner, are the manufacturer, the Maser Group."

"What? Is this true?"

The cat looked devastated, with its ears tucked against its head, looking like a lost kitten.

"Beep——"

But at this moment, a female electronic mechanical voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

"There's a strange sound..."

"Don't be afraid, Ling, it's Fairy playing tricks on me. It looks like she has something to say."

At this time, the brother and sister also looked at the monitor beside them, but one of them looked at himself first, and then looked at Zhe in confusion.

"You, what are you talking about? Fu... Rui?"

While speaking, Nekomata hugged her almost nonexistent chest with both hands, looking a little scared.

Current favorability target:

Name: Nekomiya Matana (Nekomata)

Gender: Female

Charm value: 95 (P.S.: This charm value is determined by the author's own XP, so it may not be accurate.)

Features: The cat-like race has extremely sensitive hearing and sense of smell.

Hobbies: Likes to eat dried fish, and have his chin stroked... and other places similar to cats.

Current state: nervous, confused

Current favorability towards the owner: 20

Evaluation: Its small body is extremely flexible and light in weight, so it takes almost no effort to hold it. By the way, you should not scratch the cat's tail and ears, as this will make its body tense.

Inner thoughts: Why is Fu Rui mentioned suddenly? Could it be that this guy...

Seeing what the other person was thinking, Zhe knew that he had been misunderstood, and he immediately started to explain.

"Ah no, there's nothing like that here, you heard it wrong."

Then, in order to prove it, he called Fairy out in front of the other party. Anyway, people who didn't know the truth would just think Fairy was an ordinary artificial intelligence when they saw this.

"Ahem, Fairy, do you have a way to read Bomb's internal data?"

"Apparently, my dear lord, this is not a difficult task for me. Is the request for 'converting Bombune's visual recordings into video playback'?"

"Well, that's up to you."

Later, when Fairy was reading the internal data of Bunny House, Nekomata spoke with some doubts.

"Meow? Who was talking just now? Is there anyone else here?"

"It's a newly installed computer manager, don't worry about it."

Sure enough, after Zhe said this, Mao Mata didn't ask any more questions, but just stared at the computer screen with some curiosity.

"That's amazing! You can actually read Bombry's data without even contacting the manufacturer. You're truly worthy of being called Phaethon. No wonder Nicole trusts you so much."

Neither the brother nor the sister responded to Nekomata's praise, because they knew that if they did, Fairy would definitely pop up.

"How's it going? Fairy, did you read the data?"

"Sure, the data has been read and will be played soon."

The three of them gathered in front of the computer screen together, and because there was not much space, Nekomata accidentally got close to Zhe.

Although the body was not touched, the cat subconsciously smelled it at this time.

It was that inexplicably pleasant smell again, almost as pleasant as the smell of dried fish. No, it was even better!

"Come, eat..."

……(delete)

The cat's favorability increased by 10 points, the current favorability is 30, and the emotional value gained is 200 points, the current emotional value is 4000 points.

"Mmm! So delicious. Wait, that's not right!"

After reacting, Nekomata had already swallowed the dried fish, and then looked at Zhe who was feeding her.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Ling, who had just watched the whole process, also frowned slightly. It was obvious that she didn't quite understand what her brother had just done.

"Uh, I just saw Miss Nekomata smelling something, and I thought she noticed I saw a sale earlier, so she bought some canned fish..."

"Then you shouldn't feed it directly to her with your hands! That's so rude!"

"Sorry, sorry, it's always like this when I feed Xiao Hei and the others, so subconsciously..."

Looking at the blushing and ashamed Nekomata, Zhe immediately apologized sincerely and handed the can of fish in his hand to the other party.

Fortunately, the favorability did not decrease, and even increased by 5 points.
