”It should be here this time”

”Silly ht Let's continue playing toa had becoer excited hiuessing game with Momo It was supposed to be fun, but it did not feel fun In fact, being with Momo made the hairs on the back of his neck stand

Matsuo swore that he could see Mo at him from the corner of his eyes However, every time he tried to take a closer look, the cat's expression was blank

He fell into a fitful sleep He stirred when his body sunk deeper into the ht on hi him down

Matsuo's eyes snapped open to ht back There was a crinkle in the corner of the eyes, as if its oas grinning from ear to ear

Zhao Yao draped it over his shoulders in one swift htful positions in seconds Once Roly Poly made Zhao Yao's head invisible, he took one leap and flew straight to the building's entrance

He landed gracefully, but the iround beneath his feet cracked fro boom

There was an echo of clicks as every SWAT officer cocked their weapon and pointed it at hilance their way His eyes were fir that was in front of hi in to take a look,” he announced, ”Stay outside and do not do anything stupid”

Inspector Ho motioned for his team to stand down
