16 Her Reques ? (1/2)

Carrying the ragdoll with one hand and Matcha on his back, Zhao Yao couldn't stop thinking about the fight that just occurred as he walked the city alley.

”Yeah, I guess I was too careless for not expecting such bizarre power. Had I not brought Matcha along, it would have been disastrous.”

”And this face ...” A thought sprung to his mind as Zhao Yao touched his face. ”It would be better for me to hide this face of mine. I can't risk exposing my own identity. I got lucky today as the camera didn't manage to capture my face.”

”Then again, I was seen by two people. Nah, It shouldn't be too much of a problem.”

Although Jin Jia Jia and Xiao Ming had a glimpse of his power, they didn't manage to capture it on film. Anyway, they wouldn't be able to convince other people to believe their words.

After reflecting on his mistake, Zhao Yao turned his eyes to look at the cat he was carrying. Although it managed to grab hold of its target, the mission panel didn't register the mission as a success.

Zhao Yao carefully examined the contents of the mission panel, and asked with a gentle voice, ”Huh, accept? Let me think about it. ”

”Hello, do you understand what I'm talking about?” Zhao Yao questioned as he placed the ragdoll on the floor.

The ragdoll refused to talk. Instead, she replied with a cold snort.

”Hi, I'm Zhao Yao.” Zhao Yao tried again to get a reply. ”What's your name?”

The ragdoll merely swayed her tail, refusing to reply.

Zhao Yao asked again, ” If you still refuse to talk, I can only keep you tied up and locked up. I'm sure you don't want that to happen right?..”

It couldn't be any more silent. At this moment, Matcha said as he licked his lips rapidly, ”Meowhaha, you know what Zhao Yao? Leave this to me! I'll be sure to get an answer from her. ”

He was just about to go over, but was stopped dead in his tracks as Zhao Yao grabbed him back, ”Don't even try, you dirty cat.”

Zhao Yao glanced at his camera, only to realize that it was almost 10 pm and that they were even closer to the deadline. Zhao Yao couldn't help but frown and asked the ragdoll yet again, ”Hey hmmm little girl.... look, my friend of mine here can't hold it in anymore, and it's getting impossible for me to stop him. Last week, he didn't even spare a poor little three-month-old male cat. The blood. Let's just say it couldn't stop flowing. Oh, my lord. If you are going to keep on acting like this and refuse to talk, I'm gonna to have to let my friend do as he wishes.”

Matcha rolled his eyes and shot Zhao Yao a look of disdain.

On the other hand, the ragdoll started shivering a little upon hearing Zhao Yao's words.

Zhao Yao pushed on, ”You know it could actually be a good thing. When the time comes, and you become a mother of a baby, you can join us to be part of our family. We would have loads and loads of babies...”

”Enough.” The ragdoll finally opened her mouth to speak. ”My name's Elizabeth.”

”Indeed, I am similar to Matcha. We can communicate through a subconscious telepathic medium. Could it be the power of the book?”

Zhao Yao grinned and asked, ”So what's your power?”

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment but eventually gave in, ”Illusion.”

”Oh, I see...” Zhao Yao nodded to himself as he finally understood what just happened.

Elizabeth asked, ”What do you want? ”

Zhao Yao sighed, decided to be completely honest, and announced, ” I guess you have been awakened for some time? Then you should understand this as well. In this world, we humans are the dominant race. If your power was ever discovered by an evil man, I'm afraid that you would have to endure all sorts of mistreatment in the form of experimentation and confinement or worse still, who knows if they may even perform an anatomy on you. It's time for you to make the best choice -- that is to hide in my house. You won't have to use your powers to survive and risk being exposed. You have seen what we can do, it would be more than enough to protect you.”

It was undeniable that the ragdoll had witnessed the power of Zhao Yao and Matcha. Though it was difficult to understand the principles behind it, the suddenness and mysteriousness of such happenings had left her in fear.

However, even upon hearing what Zhao Yao said, Elizabeth mocked, ”Huh! You want me to stay in your house? As for what? Your toy?”
