The Last Cat in the Universe

Chapter 31

Ji Xiuyun did not do anything to destroy the laboratory.

Everything here was to be used as evidence in court.

Even if he was in a bad mood, he would not lose his mind and destroy the laboratory.

Yue An crawled out of the Marshal's arms and jumped onto his shoulder. It rubbed its head against his cheek and meowed softly.

Ji Xiuyun turned his head slightly and rubbed the furry ball on his shoulder. He then turned around and walked to the end of the floor.

The people in the Research Department soon realized that this was not the end of the shocking news.

On the screen, the Marshal threw the two middle-aged men into an empty safe zone and placed a law enforcement instrument to monitor them. Then, he walked into the depths of the laboratory.

He seemed to be very familiar with the internal structure of the laboratory, which was the most confidential laboratory in the Research Department.

The researchers in the hall watched as the Marshal walked to the main corridor of the laboratory. He looked left and right, then took three steps to the right. Then, he raised his foot and kicked the wall hard.

Three cracks appeared on the originally perfect wall. They neatly formed a door that allowed two people to pass through.

Ji Xiuyun kicked open the perfectly hidden door and walked in with his long legs.

It was a long and pale corridor. It was not spacious. The paint on the walls was so white that there was not a speck of dust. The corridor was blindingly white.

The marshal had only taken a few steps forward when he couldn't help but stop.

He had a deep impression of this place.

He knew that at the end of the corridor, he would see a row of neatly arranged prison cells after turning a corner.

There were 12 intelligent species with special talents. When he escaped a few decades ago, he released them. They did not trust each other. In the end, they went their separate ways as soon as they left the building.

However, Ji Xiuyun knew that there must be people or other intelligent species in those prison cells.

The cloning technology was strictly forbidden to the outside world. However, in this laboratory, it was not.

It wasn't that Ji Xiuyun hadn't thought of coming here directly after gaining real power, but the higher-ups had always been protecting him. He also had seven legions in his hands and was a big family. After gaining real power, his hands were tied and he couldn't find a reason to cause trouble.

There were many things that required a good reason to do.

Ji Xiuyun had waited for so many years for such a logical development. If he did not seize the opportunity to wipe them out, it would be a disgrace to his reputation.

What was the most important thing in a war?

A fighter.

When a snake hits its weak spot, it will give it a good beating.

Beat it to death!

Ji Xiuyun took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, he saw that the deathly white walkway had become a cluster of flowers. The emerald green grass under his feet seemed somewhat soft, and the faint fragrance of flowers was refreshing.

The entire corridor had turned into an arched path. It was like entering a fairytale.

It was obvious whose claws it came from.

Mr. Marshal gently poked Yue An, who was squatting on his shoulder with its chest puffed out.

"I'm fine."

Yue An reached out its paw and pressed down on his finger. "Meow."

Mr. Marshal rubbed its paw. "It's true."

Yue An thought for a while and removed the illusion in front of Ji Xiuyun.

There seemed to be a faint fragrance of flowers in the cold corridor. The law enforcement instrument could not capture the illusion. It just foolishly patted the man and cat who had been standing in the same place for a long time.

When Ji Xiuyun took a step forward again, his footsteps appeared much more relaxed and quick.

At the end of the corridor, he turned a corner. Indeed, there were about ten prison cells neatly arranged.

Ji Xiuyun looked calm as he violently broke open the doors one by one.

The people in the Scientific Research Department were stunned.

The Imperial Research Office's external image was very well managed. Whether it was the small inventions that were beneficial to the people or the breakthrough scientific research results that were of great significance to the entire industry or the entire era, all of them showed that this department was cutting-edge and excellent.

Countless top geniuses of the Empire tried their best to enter this place. Even if they could leave a small mark on the development of mankind, it would be the most perfect mark for their lives.

They would never have thought that there would be such a lawless experiment taking place under the laboratory where they had worked for so many years.

It was not like there were no prisoners on death row!

It was not like there were no dying people who were willing to sacrifice their bodies for science!

It was not like there were no people with excellent and special genes who were willing to provide blood samples and skin cells for research regularly!

How could they do something like illegal imprisonment!?

More than ten!

There were more than ten different intelligent races in total!

Ji Xiuyun looked at the intelligent lives that he had pulled out. They were all in a daze and didn't know how to speak. They didn't even know how to walk.

The Marshal held their hands one by one. Facing the law enforcement instrument, he showed the inside of their wrists to the camera. After seeing the mark on it, he looked up and said to the instrument, "Clones, the sixth batch."

The researchers: … F * ck.

When Ji Xiuyun was pulled up by the scientific research department's personnel who had prepared rescue tools, he brought along the ten Clones and two middle-aged researchers who had already been stamped as criminals.

The soldiers hurriedly took the two criminals. If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, they would have kicked them hard. The Marshal looked up and saw the sympathetic and distressed eyes of the people around him when they looked at him.

"I want to take a copy of the law enforcement instrument record." The Marshal pretended that he didn't notice their gazes. "It won't affect you."

No, no, no, it doesn't matter if it affects us!

He had vaguely guessed that the experiments below were not clean, but he never thought that it would be so shameless. The acting minister's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Marshal Ji."

His lips moved as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he could only bow deeply to the soldier. "I'm very sorry."

Ji Xiuyun didn't look at him. He reached out and took the cloak from the soldier beside him without saying a word.

"We will record and count the illegal experiments below. We will also explain the whereabouts of the Clones to you." The acting minister paused. "If there is a need, we are willing to testify for you in court."

The Marshal heard this and finally turned to look at him. His eyelids twitched and his lips slightly pursed as if he wanted to put on a more gentle expression, but it still ended in failure.

"I have no problem with people who seek truth and knowledge." He finally said.

The acting minister was stunned for a few seconds. It was only when Ji Xiuyun was about to leave that he suddenly came back to his senses.

— — This, this is a signal for reconciliation!?

The Marshal took the soldiers and left the research headquarters. He ignored the regulations and directly locked them up in the military prison.

The two middle-aged men inside were still clamoring.

Ji Xiuyun stood at the door of the prison and looked at the two men. His eyes were so cold that it could freeze people to death.

"This time, none of you can escape."

Ji Xiuyun finished a series of follow-up procedures. He looked at the time and the sky was already slightly bright.

Yue An had been tossing and turning for the whole night and had already curled up in his pocket and slept for the entire journey.

The Marshal looked at the white ball in his pocket for a while. He was about to go to the office when he turned around and went to the cafeteria first.

Yue An was awakened by the aroma of the food.

He opened his eyes and poked his little head out of Ji Xiuyun's pocket. He stretched his neck and sniffed the air with his little pink nose. Then, in a daze, he climbed all the way to the table along Ji Xiuyun's coat.

The Marshal ate in his office as usual. In addition to his own food, he specially ordered a lot of extra food. Obviously, it was prepared for Yue An's bottomless stomach.

Yue An looked at the small conference table that was full of food and instantly woke up.

What could make a cat happier than being able to eat to its heart's content after waking up?

The Marshal looked at the little furball who was hurriedly grooming his fur and washing his face. He reached out and put a plate of food in front of Yue An.

"Eat," he said.

Yue An's ears trembled and he paused. He had just woken up and his brain started to work. He recalled the big thing he had done before he fell asleep and was instantly terrified.

"Eat." The Marshal said again, "Let's talk when you're full."

Yue An: "… Meow."

It sounded no different from going on a journey after a full meal.

"It's okay. Eat." Ji Xiuyun rubbed Yue An's ears. "We can talk while eating."

Yue An lowered his head and ate two mouthfuls. He looked up at Ji Xiuyun, lowered his head and ate two more mouthfuls. He looked up at Ji Xiuyun again and finally stopped eating. He reached out his fluffy little paw and pushed the bowl in front of Ji Xiuyun.

Ji Xiuyun pushed the bowl back. "I've already eaten."

Yue An lowered his head and looked at the bowl of orange sweet soup. He thought for a while and continued to drink the soup. He did not want to waste food.

The Marshal looked at the white cat in front of him and spoke in a very calm tone.

"Don't do this in the future," he said. "At least, tell me before you do it."

Ji Xiuyun remembered how panicked he was when he realized that Yue An was missing. He could not help but reach out and pinch Yue An's ears.

"Don't disappear suddenly," the Marshal said.

Yue An obediently let him pinch. "… Meow."

"Don't do big things without telling me."

"Meow."

The Marshal wanted to say a lot more. He also thought of a lot of "don 'ts."

In the end, he sighed softly and swallowed all the "don 'ts" back into his stomach.

"Don't do this again. I'll be worried."

Ji Xiuyun was not worried that Yue An would go to the battlefield, nor was he worried that Yue An would fight. He was also not worried that Yue An would go out to look for food.

With Yue An's ability and physical fitness, he would definitely be the unlucky one.

He was only worried that Yue An would meet someone with bad intentions who would try to get him into trouble.

However, there were still many good people in the world. He could not stop people … no, cats from going out to play just because there were bad people around.

Wouldn't that be like giving up eating for fear of choking?

The Marshal felt that since Yue An had saved his life, he should do his best to ensure that Yue An could live a happy and carefree life. As long as Yue An did not do anything evil, Yue An could do whatever he wanted.

Ji Xiuyun could not restrict Yue An's actions just because he was worried about being plotted against.

Moreover, he could not keep an eye on Yue An, nor could he stop Yue An from causing trouble. Ultimately, it was because he was not strong enough.

Ji Xiuyun would never find fault with others. His parents had taught him to be strict with himself and treat others with leniency.

If he was strong enough, he would have been able to keep an eye on Yue An.

If he was strong enough, he would not have been disgusted by those people for so long. Now, he finally had a chance to make a move.

The Marshal thought about it and felt that it was because he was not strong enough.

Yue An looked up at Ji Xiuyun and rubbed his little head against Ji Xiuyun's wrist.

The Marshal looked at the grease that was smeared on his wrist.

Little rascal.

Ji Xiuyun wiped off the grease expressionlessly. Then, he reached out a finger and poked Little Furball, who was squatting on the table, to the ground.

Yue An flipped over and got up. When he sensed that the danger was over, he regained his energy and meowed at the Marshal confidently to show his dissatisfaction at being poked.

The Marshal listened for a while before he reached out and poked Little Furball again.

"Meow!!"

Yue An reached out his paw and patted his hand. Then, he sat down on the table and used the Marshal's hand as a stool. He buried his head in his food.

Yue An was a sensible person. He knew that it was best to squat under Ji Xiuyun's nose for the next few days.

After such a big incident, Ji Xiuyun would definitely be very busy. Yue An decided to find some relaxing and enjoyable activities for himself.

Ji Xiuyun was indeed very busy.

The incident at the research department was already very sensitive among the public. Furthermore, Ji Xiuyun had caused quite a commotion when he led his troops into the research department. Now, it had become a hot topic on Star Web. Everyone was trying to guess what had happened.

Ji Xiuyun was definitely going to fight this lawsuit.

However, the Military Propaganda Department and the Empire's Propaganda Department had to gather to discuss what information to announce to the public.

Ji Xiuyun, his legal team, and the person in charge of the Military Propaganda Department had finished an entire day of meetings. He returned to his office and prepared to send Yue An home first.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw his three Legion Commanders and a cat sitting on the four sides of a square hard-shell box. The atmosphere was solemn and somber.

"One tube."

"Bang!

Three tubes! "

"Eat, fifty thousand."

"Meow!

Meow meow! "

"Win!

Hahahaha! "

Yue An was so angry that he jumped up. "Meow meow meow meow!"

"A bet is a bet, a loss is a bet!"

The general of the Fourth Army smiled and stretched out his hand to the cat beside him. "Come, let me massage your paws."

Yue An reluctantly stretched out his paws. After being squeezed, he immediately retracted his paws and turned around to meow at Ji Xiuyun. He patted the box with his paws and walked to Ji Xiuyun's feet. Then, he nudged his little head to the only empty spot in the box.

Ji Xiuyun lowered his head and looked at the square boxes with different carvings on them.

The carvings were very ugly and uneven. It was obvious that Yue An had carelessly carved them out with his nails.

Yue An nudged Ji Xiuyun's hand with his little head.

"Meow!"

Fight back for me!

Otherwise, don't even think about rubbing my belly!

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

Ji Xiuyun rubbed his cat.

Ji Xiuyun picked up a square box.

I understand the logic, but what exactly is this?
