Chapter 21: Cat Face Like a Tiger
"Where can we find the Nine Kan Spirit Cat now?" The county magistrate frowned. "While hunting the rat monster, we'll also search for families in the city who have cats and use them to catch rats!"

In the end, Song Wuji was unable to go down the city to fight the rat monster.

Instructor Lu Han and County Magistrate Chen rode in a basket out of the city together.

Lu Han chanted loudly from the Book of Songs: "Big rat, big rat, don't eat my millet!"

A white light spread out, frightening the giant rats in the cupboard.

County Magistrate Chen pulled the strong bow and shot an arrow, which killed a giant rat in the closet.

Although the giant cabinet rat is as big as a cat or a dog, it is still a wild beast and is not indestructible.

However, ordinary victims had never seen such large rats, and these rats bit the victims madly, which caused many casualties. If an adult really put in a desperate fight and was not afraid of being bitten or injured, it would not be difficult for him to kill such a giant cabinet rat.

The punishment of evil who came down in the hanging basket was even more rude. They had obtained the power of punishment of evil and learned the sword technique of punishment of evil. In addition, most of them were converted from butchers, so slaughtering any animal was a crime.

Tian Chengbi looked at the situation but didn't relax his brows: "This monster is testing our strength."

He looked into the distance, and it seemed that there were pairs of green eyes peeping at him in the darkness.

The City God, County Bo, said, "Opening the city to receive the disaster victims has already stimulated these demons. They can't wait any longer. These rats are just testing them."

At this time, a flute sound was heard in the distance, and the rats immediately lined up. A monster with a rat head and a human body appeared. He was playing the flute and carrying a cupboard on his back. Black air was coming out of the cupboard, and rats crawled out of it continuously.

A big red name was on the monster's head.

[Rat Demon in the Incense Cupboard]

The rat demon showed a creepy expression, but the sound of the flute gradually became cheerful. The rats in the cupboard crawled out and ate everything. The more they ate, the bigger their bodies became. Even if there was no food, they would eat their own kind.

The City God was also shocked when he saw the rat demon: "This rat demon has gathered filthy energy and become a spirit. The cabinet on its back is probably related to the plague. That flute has the power to confuse people and confuse the mind!"

The victims in the city were so dazed by the sound of the flute that they walked towards the rat demon.

The rat demon then played the flute even more happily.

The civil servant Sun Xiucai and the military servant Liu Liehu had no idea why the rat demon suddenly attacked the city, and they did not want to reveal their strength.

"I'm afraid the king sent him," said Liu the Hunter. "I heard from the new ghosts that the king is subduing the surrounding monsters and forming sworn brothers with them."

Sun Xiucai frowned: "Is he imitating Liangshan? Or Wagangzhai?"

"I'm afraid the king doesn't trust us, or our progress is too slow. It's all your fault for not daring to enter the city... If we had, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

"Enter the city?" Sun Xiucai sneered. "If I'm not going in, why don't you go in yourself? It's nothing more than knowing the City God. He might not be able to see through us, but what if he does? He's even better at dealing with ghosts than the king."

"These minions have entered the city one by one, but has any of them brought back any news?"

"Look at these butchers who are killing pigs. If they stab you with the glowing red knives in their hands, can you withstand it?"

Hunter Liu was silent. "You decide what to do. If there's no progress, we'll all die. The king won't let us go."

"Wait for Tian Chengbi to leave the city."

Sun Xiucai looked towards the city wall and said, "This time, not only can we not sit still, but they can't sit still either."

The rat demon's flute music had no effect on those with slightly higher divine attributes, but the wills of the victims had already become numb and collapsed.

When the first victim approached the rat demon, the demon turned around. The victim, as if seeing some delicacy, with a fervent look in his eyes, dove into the cupboard. A moment later, a slightly shorter monster with a human body and a rat head emerged. From the rat demon's clothes, it was clear that this was the victim who had just entered the cupboard.

[The Rat Servant of the Incense Cupboard]

Although this cupboard can only transform one rat servant at a time, the black foul air coming out of the cupboard will become thinner with each rat servant transformed. After transforming twelve rat servants, it will no longer transform at all.

The rat demon in the incense cupboard blew the flute, and the rats, big and small, rushed towards the rat demon like bees returning to their nests, like a pool of black tide, and then all drilled into the cupboard. The more rats that drilled in, the more black air in the cupboard became.

At this time, on the city wall, County Magistrate Tian's face had turned ashen, but it was dark at night and this was not the human race's home turf. If he opened the city to fight, he would fall into a trap. These rats would swarm into the city, and who knew how many accidents would occur.

The City God County Earl took the rat demon very seriously: "If it continues to transform like this, I'm afraid it will be as dangerous as the tiger demon. The tiger demon eats people and transforms its minions into ghosts, blending in with the crowd, but this demon directly transforms the victims into slaves. I don't know where the upper limit of that cabinet is. Right now, it looks like this monster is only ninth-grade. If he keeps eating people like this, when he reaches the eighth grade, there will be another change."

"Wait till dawn."

It was a cry: "The cat is coming, the cat is coming!"

I saw cats, orange cats, tabby cats, calico cats, and black cats, being carried to the city gate.

The City God and the County Lord waved their huts and said, "Who among you is the best at catching rats? Stand out!"

But there is a black and white cat with four paws stepping on the clouds, a black coat on its back and a gun at its tail. The cat has a tiger-like face and a loud voice. It makes a "meow" sound and is extremely arrogant.

Cheng Bo opened its mouth and found that it was not a nine-kan cat, but it had seven kans, which made it a good cat.

The City God said to Magistrate Tian, ​​"Please, Magistrate Tian, ​​and I, together, grant him the title of thief catcher."

County Magistrate Tian did not hesitate and wrote out the appointment document in a flurry of motion, stamping it with the county seal.

The City God also expended his divine power, condensed the talisman, and stamped it with the City God's seal.

The two documents were combined into one, and the cat's paw print was pressed on it. The City God said, "You are now the new Chief of the Anti-Theft Division under the City God's Office. Cat Captain, go!"

The cat, transformed by both luck and divine power, was meowing in comfort when the City God threw it out of the city.

He suddenly rolled over gracefully from several feet high and landed on the ground, looking back with a puzzled look on his face.

But soon he saw the rats and understood his duty. It was the first time he had ever seen rats like this, and his hair stood on end, and he said, "Ah-woo!"

He pounced, pressed, and bit immediately.

Although it looks like a cat, its spirit is like a tiger.

A giant rat was caught by the cat's head and instantly dissipated into black gas, then fell into a fluttering flesh-colored tail.

The cat catcher cursed and spat it out, but then pounced on another one.

Every time it kills a cat, the Cat Catcher's body becomes bigger, as if it is accumulating some special power.

The speed at which those Punishers walked and killed was not as fast as his.

The City God, County Master, said to Magistrate Tian, ​​"How about appointing a few more cats to catch thieves?"

County Magistrate Tian knew he was trying to waste his luck without restraint, so he simply said, "County Lieutenant Chen and Instructor Lu are here too. This rat demon only dares to control the rats from a distance and is probably not good at standing close. It relies solely on the power of its two magic weapons. Now that it has transformed these servants, even if I command more cat traps, it will be of little use."
