Chapter 59: Reward

When Luo Yunzhi and the black cat returned to the hospital, the place was so cold and quiet.

There were no customers at all.

There was an inexplicable sense of loneliness.

The girl held the black cat and approached the office.

Wang Jia was still writing there.

The tip of her pen rubbed against the paper.

The rustling sound continued nonstop.

Luo Yunzhi walked forward and placed the plastic bag beside the office desk.

Then she returned to the sofa and took out her phone to scroll through articles on silent mode.

The black cat licked her ice cream.

She ate happily.

It was only after a long while that the honeydew melon-flavored ice cream was finally finished.

Bai Ziyu felt helpless and couldn’t help but let out a satisfied burp.

She rolled over on the sofa and revealed her already round and full belly.

Cats didn’t eat much.

They were actually quite economical with food.

However, this made her very dissatisfied.

Because of her appetite, there were many delicious foods she hadn’t had the chance to taste yet, and she couldn’t eat anymore.

The black cat really liked sweets.

But she wasn’t allowed to buy them.

This wasn’t Luo Yunzhi’s fault.

The girl was never stingy with the black cat.

But unfortunately, Bai Ziyu had always really liked eating chocolate.

But cats as creatures… when they entered the supermarket, Luo Yunzhi had discovered her habit.

However, it was obvious that the black cat didn’t get to buy chocolate.

“You’ll die if you eat it.”

At that time, the girl had almost dragged her away to stop her.

It had taken a lot of effort to calm her down.

Chocolate was poisonous to cats.

It really could kill them.

“Meow~”

(Chocolate~)

Even though she was already full, Bai Ziyu was still missing her chocolate.

She had been carried away at that time and could only stare longingly at the display cabinet.

The thing she liked was clearly right in front of her, but she could only watch it disappear.

Cats couldn’t eat chocolate.

What did it matter if she was a yokai?

She was experiencing for the first time that the great cause of contact between ordinary people and yokai had to be carried out quickly.

Otherwise, she might never get to eat chocolate in this lifetime.

The black cat let out a purring sound.

Like an engine.

It was also at this moment that Wang Jia finally finished her own ‘task’.

She raised her head and was somewhat surprised when she saw Luo Yunzhi.

“When did you come back?”

The woman hadn’t really noticed her surroundings.

Only after seeing the plastic bag did she feel a bit of realization.

“Is all this for me?”

She picked up the plastic bag and looked inside.

There were some fast food items, some of which were still warm.

“Mm, for you.”

Luo Yunzhi opened her mouth.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Faced with Wang Jia’s thanks, the girl paused.

“Although you’re a bit black-hearted as a person, the job and benefits you gave me, I think are still pretty good.”

Wang Jia’s mouth twitched.

“I said… I’m really not black-hearted.”

She sighed and didn’t continue explaining herself.

After all, it was impossible to explain clearly right now.

They had to wait until ordinary people knew about yokai before the girl could understand the purpose of what she was doing.

Moreover, regarding the spirit liquid, that itself wasn’t cheap and wasn’t popular outside.

So the price… naturally was whatever she said it was.

Although she said it was one hundred thousand.

The cost was only two hundred.

Wang Jia thought about it carefully… it seemed she really was black-hearted.

She smiled awkwardly and picked up a rice ball.

She ate it silently there.

As for the black cat on the sofa, after eating her fill, she felt very idle.

She looked at Wang Jia and suddenly remembered the little girl in the shop.

The other party could understand her words.

She must also be a ‘new human’ who had come into contact with spiritual energy.

Didn’t that mean the woman and her people happened to need this?

“Meow.”

(I want to tell you something.)

“What is it?”

Wang Jia subconsciously responded.

Then she saw Luo Yunzhi’s confused gaze.

She lightly coughed to cover up her strange behavior.

“I accidentally choked.”

She smiled.

“Right, Little Luo, go buy me a bottle of water. It’s at the convenience store at the end of the street.”

Luo Yunzhi was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

“Didn’t I already buy water for you in the bag?”

She reminded her, seeming very confused about this.

“Ah, I don’t drink this.”

“Then what do you drink?”

“Buy a bottle of beer.”

“……”

A question mark appeared above Luo Yunzhi’s head.

She really wanted to say that it was still working hours, how could she drink alcohol?

But she still obediently went out.

After all, with how quiet the hospital was, probably no one would come today.

The woman’s alcohol addiction was indeed quite strong.

Seeing the girl leave the hospital, Wang Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she looked at the black cat.

Her mouth was still stuffed with rice ball.

She looked like she was really hungry.

“What did you want to say?”

“Meow.”

(‘New human’.)

This word made the woman’s eating motion stop.

She couldn’t help but look full of surprise.

“You saw someone else? What did that person look like?”

She carefully recalled.

The organization shouldn’t have sent any other colleagues over.

Could it be a new ‘new human’ who had just awakened?

And the black cat’s next answer.

Also confirmed her guess.

“Meow.”

(I happened to meet a little girl.)

“Meow.”

(Around seven or eight years old.)

“She really is newly awakened.”

Wang Jia immediately became serious.

“Tell me the location and time of when you met.”

She picked up the pen and opened a new page in the notebook.

The black cat spoke there while she started recording.

“Mm, she should have awakened not long ago.”

The woman stared at the notebook and muttered.

“Moreover, it looks like she hasn’t told anyone else yet.”

She seemed to have some lingering fear about this.

The black cat only felt strange.

She didn’t understand.

“Meow?”

(Is it very troublesome?)

“Of course it’s troublesome.”

Wang Jia rubbed her aching forehead.

The pen in her hand lightly tapped.

“‘New humans’ and yokai are both unstable factors.”

“You can think about it carefully. If yokai are special, wouldn’t ‘new humans’ also be special?”

“They could cause chaos to the world, so they’re also within our responsibilities.”

The woman opened her mouth to explain.

However, she only recorded it down.

“But to be honest, these things don’t have much to do with us either.”

The black cat stepped on the sofa.

She listened quietly.

“We’re the administrative department. We don’t handle this. I’ll pass the message to the higher-ups later. Naturally, there will be professional people to contact that child.”

At this moment, she started to relax again.

She continued eating the rice ball in her hand.

“But even though we don’t handle it, there is still a reporting reward.”

Wang Jia pulled open the office desk drawer.

She took something out from inside.

Then she casually threw it toward the black cat.

The object drew an arc.

It landed on the sofa.

Bai Ziyu was stunned for a moment.

It was a pill.

Milky white, with an abstract matchstick figure pattern drawn on it.

The black cat had seen this not long ago.

She didn’t need Wang Jia to explain.

She knew what it was.

The pill was a transformation pill.

It could let her transform.

This way she could go outside and move around.

So the reward was this?

Regarding this, the black cat was quite satisfied.

As long as she got a few more, she should be able to maintain human form for a long time.

So she had to earn a lot.

Of merits.
