Yama Reborn-Chapter 590 - 587: Let’s Go!

Corot was completely stunned!

Standing by the roadside, watching his cat owner dive head first towards Chen Nuo, Corot felt like he was struck by lightning, frozen in place.

He dared not move.

He dared not run.

He had just managed to escape his misery, sticking with this cat owner, finally transforming from a pig into a human! But why did he run into Chen Nuo in Africa?

Corot immediately scanned his surroundings, and finally relaxed a bit, not spotting that girl Fox nor that terrifying face of Seed that haunted his nightmares.

Not exaggerating, even to this day, Corot often has nightmares about Seed, waking up all flustered.

·

Chen Nuo stared wide-eyed at his feet, watching this plump cat clawing at his pant leg, rubbing frantically, and then shoving its nose against his calf, taking deep breaths.

"Stop! Let go first! You're embarrassing me, for heaven's sake! If people see us, they'll think I'm being harassed by a cat!"

Chen Nuo kicked the gray cat away, but after rolling twice, it let out a yowl, turned around, and dived back again.

Well then, Chen Nuo was helpless with this guy, his gaze fell on Corot.

Chen Nuo frowned at Corot, and after a few seconds, a mischievous smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Corot?"

Corot gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

Plop, Corot sat down on the ground.

Doomed!

I'm going back to being a pig!

·

With Chen Nuo around, the off-road RV easily made it back to the gas station, filled up the tank, and even grabbed a spare can of gasoline.

Then Chen Nuo got into the RV, pointed the way, and led them to the Mayor Mansion.

The RV parked in the Mayor Mansion's parking lot, followed by the gray cat hopping off with Chen Nuo, observing the surroundings.

Fully armed patrolling mercenaries.

Communications towers on the rooftops.

The parking lot also housed armored transport vehicles and multifunctional war vehicles…

The gray cat blinked a few times, looking at Chen Nuo: "Chen Xiaoguo, you aren't planning to become a warlord here, are you?"

Chen Nuo shot this guy a sideways look, grabbed the skin on the back of the cat's neck, picking it up, then strode into the mansion's hall.

Casually tossing the gray cat, it twisted in mid-air, easily landed on the largest and softest sofa in the living room.

"Milk, juice! Add ice! And, the fruit must be fresh... Also, two grilled fish without chili. And, by the way, if there are any houses raising cats in the town, find me some young female cats, around two years old, never mated or given birth, clean them up…"

Seeing this cat lying on the sofa spouting nonsense, Chen Nuo directly threw a cushion over.

Following behind, coming in timidly, Corot looked at Chen Nuo with longing eyes.

Chen Nuo frowned at him, sighed: "Mr. Corot, you find yourself a place to sit as well."

Though the two had some grudges—in that Antarctica mission, Chen Nuo was quite misled by Corot.

But afterward, Chen Nuo managed to turn the tables and escape, whereas Corot was unfortunately captured by Seed and kept as a pet pig for two years.

The prestigious human top Controller, stripped of all power, transformed into a pig, lived as a pig for two years.

The main thing is, Seed and Fox's methods of raising pigs could practically be a case study for animal protection organizations—feeding pigs dog food!

Or high-sugar drinks and snacks.

Being a pig for two years, if not for the pig's strong digestive system, Corot felt he might have eventually died of diabetes.

Living in a pet cage every day.

—Having suffered such punishment, Chen Nuo actually didn't harbor strong resentment against Corot anymore, considering he had been punished enough.

Moreover, being human, being human top Controllers.

Turning into a pig, living a pig's life for two years.

Thinking about it, it is truly pitiful and incredibly frustrating.

So now, Chen Nuo didn't show too bad a face to Corot.

Corot took a deep breath, found a sofa, and sat next to the gray cat.

·

Forget about those two-year-old female cats, that was just wishful thinking.

But grilled fish is available, juice can also be provided.

A jug of juice, plus some grilled fish made by the big African cook working overtime, fed the gray cat to the point where it was bloated, lying on the sofa with its tongue sticking out.

The gray cat seemed more energetic, no longer looking weak.

But it was still unsatisfied.

When Lu Xixi came down from upstairs, the gray cat immediately lunged at her, clinging to Lu Xixi's leg, refusing to let go.

"Chen Xiaoguo! Your power has declined significantly, the Life Essence radiating from your body is far too little, definitely not enough to fill my belly. Only her majesty the Empress has enough vigor!"

Lu Xixi frowned, grabbed the gray cat, but finally didn't throw it away, instead, after sitting on the sofa, placing the gray cat at her feet as a footrest.

Being stepped on by the Empress, the gray cat actually looked rather content, lying obediently.

Chen Nuo sat next to Lu Xixi, frowned at the gray cat: "Stealing that girl's pet pig, running off to Africa... I thought you were doing something groundbreaking. But when I see you, you look like you're barely alive."

The gray cat desperately absorbed the Life Element radiating from Lu Xixi, half-dead, said: "You know, I need to absorb the Life Element radiated from strong beings to survive.

When I was in Jinling, with you and Lu Xixi around, I lived comfortably.

After coming out, I've been starving.

These days, I've been surviving on my reserves, afraid I won't last a month without replenishing."

Chen Nuo listened—just listened.

This cat's words were hardly truthful, way too exaggerated.

When it says a month, you need to multiply by a hundred to hear it accurately.

It can live another dozen years at least!

And, it would never actually die!

"Now, tell me, why did you steal Corot from Jinling and run to Africa?" Chen Nuo squinted at the gray cat.

The gray cat twisted its body, cautiously said: "I came to Africa to travel, see the pyramid, see the animal migration…"

"Bullshit, tell me the truth!"

The gray cat thought a bit, said: "I, I've been single for too long, came to find some fresh female cats, here there are African cheetahs and African lions, all really good feline animals…"

Chen Nuo sneered: "If you keep saying such things, trust me, I'll gather all the female lions and leopards within a 500 km radius for you to mate with, no mating, no eating!"

The gray cat's eyes immediately lit up: "Is there really such a good deal?"

Lu Xixi stomped on Gray Cat hard, and Gray Cat let out a miserable yowl, obediently lowering its head: "I, I..."

Chen Nuo sneered coldly, abruptly saying, "Have you found the Mother?"

Gray Cat's expression instantly changed!

The playful and cheeky demeanor vanished without a trace, and it stared wide-eyed at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo remained calm, coldly gazing back at Gray Cat.

After a long while, Gray Cat finally sighed: "I understand... you appear in a place like Africa... you're actually here to find the Mother!"

Chen Nuo deliberately sneered twice, saying nothing.

To deal with a guy like Gray Cat, you have to be deliberately mystifying. Without a strategy, you simply can't extract a few truths from its mouth.

Seeing Chen Nuo remain silent, Gray Cat whispered: "You... followed the Octopus Monster here, right? This time you're working for it?"

Chen Nuo still said nothing.

Gray Cat's expression grew more and more unpleasant.

Finally, after a prolonged silence, Gray Cat suddenly moved, darting from under Lu Xixi's foot, lightly leaping onto the coffee table.

The cat's eyes met Chen Nuo's as equals for a moment.

"I advise you... you'd best not get involved in this matter. Before the Octopus Monster finds the Mother, quickly leave here and return to Jinling."

Chen Nuo raised an eyebrow: "How do you know the Octopus Monster hasn't found it yet?"

Gray Cat shook its head: "If it had found it, things wouldn't be like they are now."

Chen Nuo nodded and suddenly said, "So, you found it, didn't you!"

Gray Cat immediately shook its head: "No, no, don't talk nonsense! I haven't found it!"

Chen Nuo laughed.

He stroked his chin, looking at Gray Cat: "Why is it that I just can't believe what you say?

Let me think, you were living such a carefree life in Jinling, hiding in the zoo, with the black panthers and lionesses, living leisurely with plenty to eat, drink, and play with.

Suddenly running off to Africa to find the Mother.

Not looking before, but now suddenly coming here.

So... even if I'm not smart, I know what's crucial."

Saying this, Chen Nuo turned his head to look at Corot, who had remained silent, pointing at him.

"So, it's him, right? Instead of living the leisurely life in Jinling, once you see Corot, you break your usual pattern, steal Corot, and then bring him to Africa.

So... the key to finding the Mother must be on Corot!"

·

Under the deafening noise of the helicopter's rotor, strong winds swept the grassy ground, blowing it all askew.

The helicopter slowly landed on the ground, and Nolan had just jumped down when he saw in the distance, the Wizard standing with one foot on a supply crate, looking at him coldly.

Nolan raised an eyebrow, bent over, and slowly ran over, shouting: "Why are you waiting for me here? Something up?"

The Wizard looked at the helicopter, then at Nolan: "Didn't you say the operation needn't continue? Why are you still following the routine search?"

"I'm not like you; the Octopus Monster is my direct boss. And you're just a guest invited here." Nolan shrugged, shaking his head: "So you can slack off, but I can't."

Saying this, Nolan reached out to pat the Wizard's shoulder: "So, what's up? You don't look well."

The Wizard dodged, stepping back two paces, not letting Nolan's hand fall on his shoulder.

Nolan frowned: "What's wrong?"

The Wizard took a deep breath: "Where is Lillian?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm asking you, where is Lillian?"

Nolan frowned: "I told you, the Diamond Queen was seriously injured in an attack and was sent to the national hospital in the Capital City, where this country has the best medical facilities, and we also sent a medical team to support her. There, she'll get the best..."

The Wizard stared into Nolan's eyes and then stepped forward half a pace.

"Liar!"

"...What?"

"I've been to the Capital City, right after you left for the search this morning, and I've just returned from the hospital in the Capital City." The Wizard's face was very unpleasant: "Lillian is not there!"

Nolan was taken aback, and his face quickly turned serious: "What did you say? She's not there?!"

"Yes, she's not there." The Wizard shook his head: "I asked the doctors and medical team there, and Lillian was sent there a few days ago, but shortly after... someone took her away! And who took her, no one knows!"

Nolan frowned: "Could it be... the people you asked were mistaken, or... didn't tell you the truth..."

The Wizard shook his head, his face ominous: "Impossible, under my interrogation, no one can lie."

Nolan sighed: "Did you kill anyone?"

"Killed two, severely injured three more." The Wizard said coldly: "All five testimonies are consistent. Lillian, after being sent there, was cared for less than 24 hours before being taken away!"

Nolan frowned, clearly pondering something.

The Wizard took a deep breath: "I haven't finished!"

Nolan was taken aback: "What else?"

The Wizard stared into Nolan's eyes: "From the five people I interrogated, the consistent statement is... before Lillian was taken away, she had already lost her vital signs! In other words, what was taken away was Lillian's body."

With that, the Wizard grabbed Nolan by the collar, lifting him up entirely, coldly saying: "Now, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Nolan hung his head in silence, as the patience in the Wizard's eyes gradually shattered, and the violence increasingly surged.

Finally, just as the Wizard's agitation was almost uncontrollable...

Nolan suddenly raised his head, looking into the Wizard's eyes, softly whispering a sentence.

"Leave!"

"...What?"

"I'm telling you, leave quickly, get away from here, from the Octopus Monster, go anywhere, find a place to hide, hide as long as you can!"

The Wizard squinted: "You... know something?"

Nolan took a deep breath, his eyes utterly sincere: "If I say I know nothing... you surely won't believe it.

But the fact is, I indeed know nothing! The Octopus Monster has told me nothing about this matter. I'm also among those kept in the dark!

However, I feel that the current situation makes further pursuit unnecessary.

We should instead protect ourselves, ensure survival first!

I find this matter highly bizarre, Lillian's death, no one told me, and the Octopus Monster didn't tell me!

Yet he surely knows something... or rather, everything is moving in the direction he desires!

So, Wizard...

Leave! Get out of here! Escape this place! Then find somewhere no one knows, hide all your power, aura, strength... hide like an ordinary person!"
