The Last Cat in the Universe

Chapter 32

The commander of the Fourth Army, who had just squeezed Little One's paw, cooperated and pulled the panel over.

Ji Xiuyun glanced at the panel. His gaze, which had been prepared to skim past it, paused and looked back.

This was because he realized that the words on the panel were all messed up. There were so many wrong words that he couldn't even recognize the title at a glance.

"Who did this …" The Marshal looked down at Little Furball, who was squatting in front of him.

Little Furball also raised its head and stared at him with its beautiful blue cat eyes.

The Marshal was speechless.

Okay, I know who made this panel.

It must have been hard for Yue An to type so many words with its paw.

After all, its paw was small and short, and Yue An didn't have much patience. It was fine if it just pressed a few buttons and typed some words, but a long string of sentences was enough to drive it crazy.

It was already very encouraging to be able to write such a simple panel.

Normally, even if the panel was placed in front of Yue An and asked him to type a few words, it would be pushed away by its paw and continue to meow.

Mister Marshal looked at the panel while correcting the wrong words and sentences. He found it hard to understand why the three corps commanders under him could tolerate such a document on the panel.

"Mahjong rules?" The Marshal asked as he corrected the panel.

The commander of the Fourth Army nodded. "Yes, it's probably a small entertainment game from ancient Earth. It's quite interesting. It can train one's mental arithmetic and shorthand skills, as well as observation skills and anti-detection facial expression management. The rules … Yue An worked hard the whole morning."

Yue An puffed out its chest proudly, wagged its tail, and looked at the Marshal with its sparkling eyes.

Ji Xiuyun took a look at his cat. Looking at the cat's expectant eyes, Ji Xiuyun swallowed back the disdain and criticism he was about to point out. Instead, he reached out and stroked Yue An's head.

"Not bad," the Marshal said. "There are a few books at home."

Yue An was speechless.

I just want praise.

I don't want to learn.

Learning makes a cat thin.

The Marshal looked at him.

The objection was invalid.

Yue An turned around and faced Ji Xiuyun with his butt.

The Marshal looked at the Yue An's tail wagging in front of him. Judging from the frequency and strength of the tail wagging, he could tell that the Yue An was not unhappy.

She swayed leisurely, and her lips curled up slightly. It was obvious that she was in a good mood. It seemed that she was pretending to be angry.

Ji Xiuyun tilted his head and continued to look at the panel.

Generally speaking, it was the rules of the game. There were a lot of typos, and the logic of expression was very poor. It was a perfect masterpiece in the style of a cat — he could write whatever he wanted, and he was free to do whatever he wanted.

If you can't understand, it's all because your IQ is too low.

The Legion Commanders weren't stupid. After being suppressed by the Yue An for two hours, they finally understood what kind of game it was. They then proceeded to launch a brutal counterattack against the Yue An for four hours.

After four hours, Yue An felt that he was going to be bald.

However, the scene of Yue An and the three Legion Commanders playing mahjong with Ji Xiuyun did not happen.

The Marshal's obsessive-compulsive disorder acted up. After correcting the document full of typos and sentences, he casually clicked on the save button, stood up, and left with his cat.

Yue An, "???"

The three Legion Commanders, "???"

Wait a minute.

This wasn't how the script was written!

Yue An was being carried, and its four paws were suspended in the air. "Meow!"

The Marshal stopped in his tracks and reached out to hold his butt. "What's wrong?"

Yue An sat on the Marshal's hand and pointed at the three Legion Commanders with its paw.

What happened to the counterattack?!

"I don't have time to play." Ji Xiuyun put Yue An into his pocket.

Yue An struggled to climb out of Ji Xiuyun's pocket, but his paw lightly brushed against a small hard object.

He paused and went back into his pocket to take a look. The two chips that he had taken out last night were still there.

Yue An immediately became obedient.

After all, this was related to his catmint in the future.

The Marshal took Yue An home.

After a night's rest, he was going to take the Research Department to court again. Of course, he was going to take the First Ladder Laboratory to court.

This time, he was not going to the military court, but to the Supreme Court of the Empire.

It was the Supreme Court of the Empire, which was known to be strict, fair, and open.

According to the usual practice, the court would verify and investigate the evidence of the case and accept his application for prosecution. After that, the court would officially start the trial three days later.

Ji Xiuyun did not specifically mention his case to the Military Publicity Department and his legal team because they would definitely get to the bottom of it.

Half of it was out of curiosity, and the other half was out of professionalism. They had to match every confession with the evidence.

In the following days, they would meet with the acting head of the Research Department to get the relevant evidence and seek some professional help to prepare for the trial.

Although the outside world would know that the Marshal had been an SS-level experimental subject sooner or later, knowing was one thing, and directly showing the experimental records to them as evidence was two different concepts.

It's like the difference between someone telling you, "I hurt my foot," and someone telling you, "I accidentally kicked a needle with my big toe and picked up a piece of flesh under my fingernail." The former is vague and will only evoke feelings of comfort.

As for the latter, just looking at the text would cause a nerve pain, let alone listening to it.

Ji Xiuyun knew his position in the hearts of the military and the public.

If the written and audio-visual records of the experiment were to be thrown out, it would be over. Not only would the people in the laboratory explode, but the image of the entire scientific research department and all the scientific researchers would also hit rock bottom in an instant.

The Marshal did not want to see this happen.

The exploration of life, the pursuit of the mysteries of the universe and the origin itself was something that was very worthy of praise and affirmation.

However, ordinary people who were blinded by anger and a sense of justice would not see things as clearly as he did. They would only kill the scientific research community and develop hatred and fear for this community.

When the Marshal drafted the prosecution documents, he also emphasized that the experimental details were not allowed to be disclosed as evidence to the public.

Ji Xiuyun took Yue An back home. He rubbed the space between his eyebrows tiredly and rested on the sofa for a while before he took the two chips that Yue An had brought out with his mouth.

Yue An did not bring the box when he took the chips, so he could not tell which one was the catmint and which one was Ji Xiuyun's.

Ji Xiuyun thought that the two chips were his experimental records.

Until now, Ji Xiuyun still thought that Yue An had rushed to the Research Department because he was angry about the attack. In addition, the comments about the SS-level Gene Body had been fanned by the live broadcast. Yue An probably had the intention to smash those people's heads.

The Marshal did not suspect that the chips that Yue An had brought out were useless.

His cat might be lazy, but it was very smart.

Ji Xiuyun thought as he took the chips and inserted them into the optical computer.

Yue An turned over from the carpet and jumped onto the sofa. It squatted on Ji Xiuyun's lap and spread its small belly. Its two front paws hugged one of the Marshal's hands.

Ji Xiuyun was very tall. He was a size bigger than an ordinary person, including his hands.

When his hands were spread open, they could cover most of Yue An's body, leaving only its small head outside.

Yue An hugged his hand and patted it with its small paws. It was like knocking on a watermelon to test its ripeness before buying one.

While the Marshal waited for the chip's password to be deciphered, he lowered his head and looked at the little ball of fur on his lap. From time to time, he moved the hand that was hugged by the soft and warm body. He stretched out his index and middle fingers and occasionally scratched Yue An's small chin.

Yue An opened its mouth and bit the Marshal's index finger. It did not use much force.

Its white, jade-like teeth and soft, pink tongue gently grazed his fingertips. It tickled him a little.

The Marshal let it nibble and reached out to take the second book on elementary education from the table.

"If you have nothing to do at home, you can learn this."

Yue An raised its head and took a look. Then, it shrank into the Marshal's palm and pretended that it did not see anything. Its tail was still outside, wagging leisurely.

Ji Xiuyun saw his reaction and put the book aside. He glanced at the interface that had been deciphered. He pulled his hand back from Yue An and clicked on the main page.

Then, he raised his eyebrows.

"Catmint reagent?"

Yue An's voice was sweet and greasy. "Meow!"

The Marshal looked meaningfully at the cat that was acting coquettishly. He pulled the experiment record aside and clicked on the backup of the cat's information that he had copied before. He searched for catmint and then picked up the cat on his lap.

"You went to the research department for this?" The Marshal asked, "The reagent that they used when they caught you. Was this the reagent?"

"Meow!"

Yue An answered straightforwardly. Then, it stretched out its two front paws and touched Ji Xiuyun's face, acting coquettishly. "Meow ~"

The Marshal did not know what to say.

Who would have thought that Yue An went to the research department not because it was angry because it was offended, and not because it had guessed what had happened to him, but because it wanted catmint that few people knew about?

Even Ji Xiuyun himself didn't believe these words.

If the people in First Ladder knew about this, they would definitely faint from anger.

After all, before leaving the military prison, the two people were still angrily saying that he had used Yue An to enter the research department to frame him.

The Marshal did not expect things to turn out this way.

The people in First Ladder had used their lives and futures to demonstrate what it meant to lead a cat into the house, what it meant to be caught off guard, and what it meant to be completely unexpected.

Yue An was still rolling around and acting coquettishly. "Meow!"

The Marshal inserted the chip and made a mark on it. "I will pass it to the science class."

Yue An was satisfied. He turned around and squatted on Ji Xiuyun's legs to tidy up his messy fur.

The Marshal looked at the other chip and asked, "This one?"

"Meow." Yue An pushed the chip towards Ji Xiuyun.

"Mine?" Ji Xiuyun said as he inserted the chip into the photon computer.

"Meow!"

Yue An raised its small head and raised one of its front paws.

Then, when the Marshal squeezed the paw with a slight doubt, a small flame appeared on the tip of the paw.

"Meow!"

Not only did I bring the chip back for you!

I even burned the remaining muscle tissue and blood samples!

You didn't expect this, did you?

The Marshal, who had a level zero cat language, did not expect this at all.

He glanced at the small flame that burned a hole in his sleeve and lectured, "Don't play with fire."

There was a lot of content in the chip that recorded SS-level gene bodies.

The marshal had no interest in seeing the painful look on his face when he was young again. He directly skipped the video and scanned through the text.

The results were disappointing.

After such a long time, they were still stuck at the level of conjecture. They did not even have an accurate conclusion about SS-level gene bodies.

Ji Xiuyun skimmed through the records and took out the chip. He extracted the parts that could be used as evidence in case of an emergency. Then, he rubbed the space between his eyebrows, looking a little tired.

From yesterday until now, he had not slept a wink.

He still had to get up early tomorrow.

The Marshal looked at the cat that was lying on the sofa with its eyes closed and was about to fall asleep. He simply carried the cat upstairs.

The next day, the various star systems' media in the Empire of Sintes received explosive news.

— — The Empire's Marshal Ji Xiuyun, who had withdrawn the lawsuit because of the cat's accident, had once again sued the Research Department in court!

This time, it was not because of other people's accusations. It was Marshal Ji himself, and the target was quite clear.

He was suing all the researchers in the Imperial Research Office's Elevator One laboratory. There were a total of six people, including three who were previously suspended for investigation and the former Research Minister who had resigned.

This time, the public prosecution was no longer the military court that accepted military complaints, but the Empire's Supreme Court.

This was a special court that claimed to be absolutely strict, fair, and just. It would not cover up or be swayed by public opinion. It would act in accordance with the law and regulations. Unless there was a great injustice, it could not be applied at will. It would conduct a large number of detailed investigations on the case before the official hearing.

It had been three years since the Supreme Court's last hearing.

This time, the court accepted the Marshal Ji's complaint very quickly and announced the first hearing in three days on the same day.

The investigation only lasted for a day. Compared to the previous Supreme Court of the Empire, which would easily investigate in detail for more than a month, it was like a rocket!

But what did this mean?

This meant that the prosecution's evidence was sufficient and only needed to be verified, and there was no new investigation!

Everyone knew that the night before, Marshal Ji had stormed into the Research Department with his soldiers in a fit of rage!

What exactly happened in between???

The media rushed to the Supreme Court of the Empire like crazy, trying to get some information from the staff.

Yue An's livestream, which they had been paying attention to, started as usual.

On the screen, the white furball was holding a box of small stone blocks carved with some strange patterns with its tail. It raised its soft little paw and knocked on Marshal Kevin's door.
