Free Web NovelChapter 1578: Chapter 470: Mutual Destruction (Part 2)
"Meow..."
"Meow~"
When some sounds came from the cat room downstairs, a worried Sakuragi Hitomi pursed her lips but still got out of bed.
Could something have fallen in the cat room and hit the kittens?
"Whew..."
She got out of bed, put on a piece of clothing, picked up her phone, and turned on the flashlight.
"Click..."
She pushed open the bedroom door. The Western-style mansion was pitch-black, only the faint light from the windows casting shadowy silhouettes of swaying branches outside.
Sakuragi Hitomi held onto the stairs, descending step by step, and quickly reached the cat room.
The cat room was large, about seventy to eighty square meters, so the cats usually didn’t come out to avoid causing trouble for the maids in the mansion.
"Meow..."
At this moment, standing at the door, the cats’ cries inside were even clearer, confirming to Sakuragi Hitomi:
Something had happened inside.
"Click..."
Sakuragi Hitomi pushed open the door and turned on the lights in the room.
On the floor, many cats were gathered together, turning their heads to look at Sakuragi Hitomi.
Perhaps thinking she was there to feed them treats, the cats flocked over.
But Sakuragi Hitomi scanned the room and neither found anything had fallen nor any windows broken.
So, what exactly was it...
Sakuragi Hitomi lowered her head, and upon doing so, noticed something was amiss.
All the cats were alertly watching one direction, and this unusual state piqued Sakuragi Hitomi’s attention.
She looked up and discovered a strange black mist hovering at the edge of the room, flickering in and out of sight.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
It was like a higher-dimensional being manifesting in a lower dimension, flickering in a way that Sakuragi Hitomi couldn’t comprehend.
"This... what is this..."
Sakuragi Hitomi, initially cautious, in a moment of confusion, saw an extremely weak pair of squinting, emerald green eyes in that cluster of black mist.
Those eyes...
"Meow... Meow?"
Sakuragi Hitomi seemed to recall something and tentatively called out.
As soon as she spoke, the black mist finally struggled to gather some shape, slowly forming into a long-haired black cat on the ground.
"Sakuragi..."
It hung its head low, tail drooping, as it called out to Sakuragi Hitomi.
It really was Meow!
That Lord God!
Sakuragi Hitomi knew that Meow was always inseparable from Yan Huan, so its appearance here meant that the President might also be nearby?
Did the President come to find her voluntarily?
Which means...
The President chose her!!
"!!"
Thinking this, Sakuragi Hitomi covered her mouth with surprise.
She hurried closer to Meow, asking,
"Meow, where is the President? Where is he?"
"Yan... Yan Huan, he’s... not here, meow..."
But as Meow spoke, Sakuragi Hitomi instantly realized something was wrong.
Its voice was not only extremely weak, but its figure was also flickering, as if it couldn’t be maintained.
It exhausted all its strength to walk towards Sakuragi Hitomi, and seeing it more closely, Sakuragi Hitomi noticed it was covered in wounds, as if bitten all over by something densely packed.
"..."
Then, even maintaining its standing posture was impossible for Meow as it fell to the side.
"Meow!"
Sakuragi Hitomi’s face changed color, and she quickly reached out to support its frail body.
At this moment, a sense of foreboding had completely engulfed her heart, making her unable to resist asking,
"What’s... what’s going on here? Meow, weren’t you only able to appear through the President’s modifier? How can you be here now when the President isn’t with you..."
In Sakuragi Hitomi’s small hand, Meow feebly glanced at her, explaining,
"I... am using another method to appear... because of injuries and not having fully succeeded with the experiment, it’s unstable, meow... Also, I’m no longer the embodiment of Yan Huan’s modifier..."
"?"
Sakuragi Hitomi widened her eyes, filled with disbelief,
"What’s... what’s going on?"
"Yan Huan, his modifier... was made using a fragment of my finger, which at some point got corrupted by the Evil God, allowing Yan Huan to gain the Evil God’s authority..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Sakuragi Hitomi’s eyes immediately narrowed.
The ominous feeling, like a parasitic thorn in her bones, became a reality, making Sakuragi Hitomi instantly aware of the problem’s severity, looking at the Meow in her arms and questioning,
"You... you used a finger fragment to assemble the President’s modifier?! Didn’t you foresee the possibility of the Evil God enticing the President through it?!"
"Enticing..."
Hearing this, Meow weakly looked at Sakuragi Hitomi, causing her to pause slightly.
"I... knew the danger of this modifier from the start, so I prepared a backup plan. In critical moments, I can bypass Yan Huan and destroy it directly... and that’s what I did just now..."
"And then..."
"If Yan Huan was being enticed, his will shouldn’t affect my backup plan... but... but..."
"..."
"His own will... or rather, desire, far exceeded the limits to trigger the modifier. Even though its destruction would cause severe harm to him, he refused to let go, and could even bring it back to life instantly with his will... I tried my best, but still couldn’t... stop him..."
Meow lowered its gaze, looking at its wounded body, muttering in a low voice,
"Only if Yan Huan gives up, can everything stop..."
Meow’s injuries seemed to confirm the seriousness of the mutual destruction just now.
"Sakuragi Hitomi, you... you must help me, stop Yan Huan somehow!"
Upon hearing this, an inexplicable panic surged in Sakuragi Hitomi’s heart.
