Chapter 465 The Black Cat and the Jar

"Hmm...you're not going to take it apart, are you? If this thing breaks, those logistics guys will charge me a lot of points to repair it, and it's expensive!"

Linglu thought for a moment, then asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, even if I take it apart, I'll definitely put it back together perfectly for you. If it really can't be restored to its original state, I'll help you make up the points you need. Just let me take a look."

Seeing that Ling Luo seemed inclined to agree, Li Si quickly spoke up.

"Okay. I'll lend it to you after this is all over. But..."

Lingluo readily agreed, but then suddenly hesitated.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Upon seeing this, Li Si frowned slightly and asked directly.

"I want to know how Earl is doing."

Lingluo's heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and quickly voiced her question.

Li Si's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He didn't seem surprised by Ling Luo's question.

"Oh~~~ You mean him~~~"

He spoke slowly.

The sound was drawn out, carrying an enigmatic quality.

However, his words were full of teasing.

Lingluo's face flushed red instantly, like a ripe apple, and even her ears turned bright red.

She lowered her head, not daring to meet Li Si's gaze, secretly annoyed at herself for being so impatient.

"Stop dawdling, that thing is about to fire its second burst of energy!"

Li Si wanted to tease Ling Luo a little more, but just then, Mo Luosi's voice suddenly came over.

There was a clear hint of reproach in the voice, blaming Li Si for wasting too much time.

Li Si knew in his heart that he had indeed been delayed for too long.

After all, it takes time for that door to prepare for an attack. If it continues to delay like this, there may not be enough time to take other precautions.

"Okay, okay, boss, I got it, I'll get to work."

Li Si immediately responded loudly.

"I'll tell you more after it's over. Don't worry, he's absolutely safe."

After speaking with Meros, Li Si quickly turned to Ling Luo beside him and spoke in a low voice.

At that moment, Meros also took action.

His appearance remained unchanged, but the shadow that had been beneath him vanished without a trace.

Instead, a huge black cat stood beside him.

When it sits down, its height exceeds four meters.

It's fair to say that this cat can no longer be called cute; it's more like terrifying.

The black cat had an empty-looking jar in its mouth, and its eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing an alert and wary expression as it stared intently at the direction from which the beam of light had been fired.

Its fur stood on end slightly with tension, as if all its nerves were stretched to the limit, ready to deal with any possible attack.

Meanwhile, Meros stood steadily a little distance behind the black cat, holding Lin Xiyue in his arms, his eyes calm and composed.

Surrounding him were three black shields, which seemed to have their own consciousness, moving erratically in the air.

However, judging from their positions and trajectories, they were clearly carefully arranged and could intercept attacks from any direction in the first instance.

Just then, Li Si noticed the jar near the black cat's mouth.

"Hey boss, can I have one?"

He immediately moved closer to the black cat and shouted loudly.

"Meow--"

With a low, long meow, the jet-black cat slowly lowered its head and stared at Li Si at its feet with its dark, jade-like eyes.

As if in response to Li Si's gaze, the black cat meowed softly again.

The moment the black cat finished meowing, the jar it had been tightly gripping suddenly seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, instantly splitting into two identical jars.

The split-off jar hovered briefly in the air, then, as if pulled by some mysterious force, it fell straight down.

Li Si seemed to have anticipated this. He quickly opened his hand upwards, and the jar landed perfectly in his hand.

"Thanks, boss."

Li Si smiled as he took the jar, then tossed it around in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

After getting the jar, Risa turned around and walked to the other side opposite the black cat.

Just then, Ling Ye, who had been observing from the side, heard Li Si's words and her curiosity was immediately piqued.

You're saying this is Meros?

Ling Ye quickly walked to Li Si's side and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, this was allocated by the boss to protect Boss Lin."

Li Si nodded and explained simply.

Although his words were brief, they were enough for Lingye to understand the reason.

"Then... that means the person we met that day was also him."

"I really didn't expect him to arrive here so early..."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lingye couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Do you remember what happened to Lingyan when we were sent to Yundu?"

He stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something, leaned close to Ling Luo, and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo immediately understood what Ling Ye was referring to.

"You mean, the mysterious person Lingyan encountered that day could very well be him?"

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she began to speak.

"Hmm, I think it's pretty much a 100% sure thing."

"This matter must be recorded; nothing can be missed. I have a feeling it will be useful."

Lingye nodded and said affirmatively.

Linglu nodded in agreement. She quickly entered a series of commands on the terminal, sent the message to Lingjiu, and instructed him to make sure to keep a detailed record.

"I've already notified Lingjiu; he should handle it as soon as possible."

After sending the message, Lingluo looked at Lingye and said...

"Okay, that's fine."

"I hope this matter can be resolved smoothly."

Lingye said with satisfaction.

After Lingye finished explaining the relevant matters to Lingluo, the preparations on Lisi's side were also nearing completion.

Unexpectedly, the jar that Meros the cat had given to Li Si had been placed steadily on the ground, and the lid of the jar had been opened.

On the surface, the inside of this jar appears to be empty, but the moment it comes into contact with the air, the situation changes dramatically.

The once calm interior of the jar was suddenly thrown into turmoil.
