When Zhao Yao exited from the extradimensional belly, Matcha felt time came to a standstill.
“Zhao… Zhao Yao…” Matcha muttered, “I was lying in bed resting when someone bashed in and took Rice Cake away!”
Zhao Yao stared gloomily at the wreckage. He frowned and questioned, “Who did this?”
“A Scottish Fold,” Matcha replied, “He claimed that he was Rice Cake’s brother and wanted to bring her away. Of course I disagreed and tried my best to stop him. I managed to grab him in the face…”
“Stop talking nonsense,” Zhao Yao kneeled on the floor and observed the footprint. He twitched his nose and asked, “Did a lot of cats came here?”
“Uh…” Matcha panicky replied, “I was sick, a lot of my friends came over to visit. Zhao Yao, you know I have a lot of connections…”
Zhao Yao glared at him and said, “I will settle with you after investigating on this matter.”
Matcha immediately heaved a sigh of relief as he survived temporarily.
Zhao Yao walked around and touched the cracked walls, exploded pipes and the water puddles, footprints. He sniffed and asked, “Fishball and Noodle was here too?”
“Yes,” Matcha replied, “They specially came to visit me and they were taken away too by this damn Scottish Fold. There was Li Li too who went after him.”
At this moment, Zhao Yao saw a mission the tablet.

Mission: Save your cats! Make the culprit compensate for your repair fees, mental damage compensation, recuperation fees along with 108 others.

As he looked at the content, Zhao Yao nodded contently. The Book was still fair and perfectly described his request.
Zhao Yao turned and looked at Matcha, “Where’s he now? And where’s Nekomata?”
Matcha was slightly taken aback, “I don’t know. When Cheese escaped, Nekomata disappeared too.”
“The security of this house is too low. Looks like after this, I am going to change a house. But before that, that cat named Cheese is dead.” Zhao Yao said sternly.
After listening to Matcha’s replied, he thought as he rubbed his chin, “This Nekomata chased him? It seems like I can’t connect with him, let me try to find…”
…
One day during the winter vacations, Xiao Yu was back home after playing with her friends. She opened the front door and shouted, “Fishball, Noodle, help me keep the clothes.”
However after her calling, they didn’t appear.
“Eh? What happened? Where did they go?” Xiao Yu walked to the front of the table and opened her homework. She casually flipped through them and was enraged, “Damn it, these two fellows. Didn’t I ask them to help me copy? They didn’t even do anything, did they go out to play?”
Xiao Yu picked up her phone, wore her coat and ran to the district to search for them but still didn’t managed to after some time.
At this moment, her phone rang and she saw that it was Zhao Yao calling her/
“Zhao Yao? Why did you call me?”
Zhao Yao replied, “Xiao Yu, your cat and dog were taken away. Nekomata should be chasing them. Can you contact him?”
Zhao Yao rushed through his message and with the information he conveyed, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment. “What did you say? A cat captured my cat and dog!?”
“Yes,” Zhao Yao replied, “You try to connect with Nekomata to locate them. I will call you in a while.”
After hanging up, Zhao Yao called Uncle Ho and described in detail.
After hanging up the call, Zhao Yao’s handphone rang. He answered, “How’s it?”
Xiao Yu shouted, “It didn’t go through.”
Zhao Yao focused and said, “With his ability, he wouldn’t be caught. It should be that he haven’t found the opportunity to link up with us.”
Xiao Yu panicked, “Ah? What should we do?”
Afterall, Xiao Yu was still a student. Her cat and dog were missing all of a sudden and it was understandable that she was anxious.
“Don’t panic. They can’t escape.” Zhao Yao looked at his phone and said, “I pick up a call first. Let’s talk later.”
Uncle Ho’s call came through, “We captured some images at the East China Sea. Check if it was your captured cat.”
Zhao Yao was shocked, “Taken from the East China Sea? Would this have to do with the fog?”
A vast area of fog had appeared on the East China Sea recently. Those who have entered have lost connections. Before this, Uncle Ho had seeked advice from him and he had agreed to take a look in the next few days.
He opened his messenger and looked at the photos Uncle Ho sent. There were three stones and a large roof travelling across the sky.
Zhao Yao squinted and placed the photo in front of Matcha and asked, “Is this the cat?”
Matcha instantly jumped and shouted, “That’s him! That’s him! That’s him!”
Zhao Yao dialed Uncle Ho’s number and said, “Don’t tell me that they have entered the fog?”
Uncle Ho felt helpless and answered, “It seemed so.”
Zhao Yao nodded and replied, “I understand. I will go into the fog later to find the cats. You let me know the location of it.”
Uncle Ho was delighted. They have tried multiple methods to investigate this fog but to no avail. Now that Zhao Yao was willing to do it, that was the best.
As he spoke, he lowered his head and saw police cars outside his window. There were also residents who were pointing around and he said, “Oh yes, my house was unders attack and police came. Help me find people to lockdown the area and don’t let anyone enter.”
After finishing his conversation with Uncle Ho, he called Xiao Yu, “Hello, I sort of know their whereabouts. Did you manage to contact Nekomata?”
“He didn’t reply,” Xiao Yu was still anxious and asked, “Where did they go?”
Zhao Yao frowned and thought to himself. There was no reply now probably because while Nekomata was following him and to not reveal himself, he did not initiate any contact. With the opponent’s ability, it would still be extremely hard to capture him even if he was invisible the whole way.
But Nekomata didn’t know that once he entered the fog, he would lose all connections with the outside world.
Til here, Zhao Yao looked at Xiao Yu and said, “Don’t worry. Just stay at home, I will rescue them back.”
“No! I want to follow you! Besides rescuing Fishball and Noodle, the culprit need to compensate us! I didn’t even do my homework when I left to find the cats!”
