At Zhao Yao’s will, the Deflective Field ventured into the darkness and a thud was heard as if it had caught something.
However, Zhao Yao frowned slightly. “What great strength.” The Deflective Field, which he had just activated, did not manage to capture the enemy immediately.
Although the Deflective Field was not in its Power Up card enhanced mode, it could still unleash tons of power. Even then, it was not able to capture his enemies. What was the thing that got away?
“Trying to escape?” Zhao Yao twitched his eyebrows as he stretched out his hand and grabbed the air. The bitter cold spread throughout the whole space. At his side, Thunder, Dong Zi and the rest shuddered at once. They got goosebumps feeling as though the temperature around them had dropped drastically.
What they felt was the ripple effects from the cold force. Since its upgrade, the Deflective Field could reach a temperature that was as cold as -60 degrees celsius.
Layers of frost suddenly appeared on the floor. Ka-cha! Ka-cha! sounds were heard from the darkness as if something was cracking as it froze.
Behind Zhao Yao, Dust Ball kept the dimension portal open. Afterall, the situation in OX city was uncertain so Zhao Yao kept it as a backup plan in case something went wrong.
In the dimension portal at that moment, more than 10 supercats were inside watching the scene unfold in front of them.
Dust Ball’s eyes lit up as she said, “How exciting.”
Diana covered her big eyes with both paws as she trembled, “So scary, meow. Is the ghost gone?”
Lightning went over to comfort Diana, “Diana, you can lick me if you’re scared.”
Elizabeth’s light flashed red as she uttered, “Get lost.”
Under Elizabeth’s control, Lightning rolled and knocked into Cannon. Cannon laughed at Lightning as he rubbed his paws and said, “Lightning, I bet you won’t be able to get Diana to date you? You want to bet?”
“All you know how to do is bet.” Lightning narrowed his eyes at Cannon and said, “How much did you lose at the round-robin competition?”
“I’m left with 98 dollars in my card. I need another 2 dollars to pay. Why don’t you lend me some money, Lightning?” Cannon smiled sheepishly and said, “Today Germany is up against Mexico in the World Cup. It’s a win for sure as long as you place a bet. Lend me 2 dollars and I will return the world to you.”
Lightning just said, “Get lost, betting dog.”
On the other side, Zhao Yao scoffed before reaching out again. As he grabbed, a black shadow was caught by the Deflective Field.
The crowd was stunned at the sight of the black shadow.
The thing that stopped in front of Zhao Yao was about the size of a palm, covered in frost with cold air still emanating from it.
“This is… a shoe?” Thunder exclaimed.
Zhao Yao frowned. The thing that Zhao Yao caught from the darkness looked like a leather shoe no matter how he tried to see it.
Thunder was confused. “This is the ghost’s shoe? But why does a ghost need to wear shoes?”
“No, this thing is moving,” Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes. He could feel a strong energy emanating from the shoe. Although the low temperature reduced the powers of the shoe, there was indeed a force emanating from it.
Zhao Yao activated the Deflective Field again and saw the air around the leather shoe contort as it started to shake violently from the force of layers of pressure being exerted on it.
The next moment, the leather shoe exploded with a bang, turning into a green smoke that tried to escape. However, it was caught in the Deflective Field and compressed into a green ball of smoke in Zhao Yao’s hand.
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them. Zhao Yao glanced at them and shook his head as he said, “It wasn’t me, it turned into smoke on its own.”
Thunder and the rest all gathered closer to Zhao Yao and stared in astonishment at the ball of smoke that was moving about in Zhao Yao’s hand. “This is the ghost?”
However at the next moment, the ball of smoke vibrated intensely before it turned into the shape of a human skull that laughed eerily at Zhao Yao.
Kekekekekeke…
“Why are you so noisy?” Zhao Yao was angered. “You’re already scrunched up in my hands and you’re still so arrogant?” The Deflective Field exerted its strength and the ball of smoke shrunk again and tightened. “Quick, apologize, for screaming so loudly in the dead of the night and waking everyone up.”
Hehehehehehe!
The smoke ghost just continued laughing eerily at Zhao Yao, sending chills down the spines of Thunder and the rest.
However, Zhao Yao was enraged. To him, this was just a supercat or an apostle that was fooling around and pretending to be a ghost. This thing was actually still so arrogant even after being caught?
“Get on your knees and admit your mistakes!” As Zhao Yao said that, the smoke ghost was forced into the shape of a human under the pressure of the Deflective Field and plonked down on his knees in Zhao Yao’s hand.
Thunder was amazed. “You can do that?”
Everyone was shocked by the scene and watched as that small person started kowtowing to Zhao Yao.
Thunder was shocked beyond words as he thought, “Is this the power of the strong? His every move was impressive and his one word could make everyone do his bidding.”
“Don’t think you can get away with just an apology,” Zhao Yao grabbed the cloud of smoke in his hand and started to twist it with the power of the Deflective Field. “Tell us honestly. What exactly are you? A supercat? Or an apostle?” He thought to himself, “Like Nekomata and the Japanese Spirit Army, if those spirits suddenly disappeared even my Deflective Field couldn’t catch them. But why can’t this thing escape my Deflective Field?”
The cloud of smoke was seen turning into a ball then into a cube as it continued being molded into all sorts of shapes. However, it did not speak a word at all, as if it could not talk.
Zhao Yao molded it with much interest, turning it into things like a cat stick and waving it around. He turned to Roly Poly and said, “Roly Poly, try playing with this.”
Roly Poly stared squarely at the cat stick that was being waved around and looked really interested in it. At last, he pounced on it as if he could not resist the temptation and scratched crazily at the cat stick.
Roly Poly, who was invisible, thought to himself, “Sigh, forget it, just cooperate with this Zhao Yao and play around with it.” As a supercat Roly Poly was obviously past the age of being obsessed with cat sticks.
Thunder watched as the Headless Horseman turned the smoke ghost into a cat stick and played around with it. He was just about to remind him to think of a way to question the other party when he saw Zhao Yao fiddling with the smoke again and turning the smoke ghost into a long and rough thing with two ‘eggs’ attached to it at the bottom. Thereafter, the Headless Horseman continued playing around with the long stick thing.
Thunder was speechless.
Zhao Yao shook the thing as he communicated telepathically to Roly Poly, “Roly Poly, why are you not playing with it?” He placed the thing against Roly Poly’s face as he said, “Quick, scratch it. You don’t like cat sticks anymore?”
Roly Poly was speechless. He stared ominously at the thing on his face as he thought to himself, “D*mn you, how is this a cat stick? You’re just degrading my cat morals.”
Just as Roly Poly thought about whether he should defy Zhao Yao, the smoke ghost that had been turned into that big stick screamed, “Enough!”
“Don’t go overboard!”
“I’m a ghost! If you continue playing with me, I will kill your whole family!”
“Ah?” Zhao Yao stared in surprise at the stick in his hand, “So you can talk?”
The smoke ghost screamed, “Quick, turn me back!”
“No.”
The smoke ghost said angrily, “You want to know what I am and who sent me here right? I will tell you everything once you turn me back into my original form.”
“No,” Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said, “I still prefer how you look now.”
“What the f*ck.” The smoke ghost felt as if he was about to explode from anger. He had never met someone who was this ridiculous: turning a ghost into whatever they wanted… It was too preposterous.
