The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 440 One Thread

However, when Lin Xiyue thought of this incident, she recalled the system's reaction at the time, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

The system is so cold and ruthless! (??へ??╬)

It pointed out directly and bluntly that the smell she liked was not the smell of home or the smell of sunshine, but the smell of the corpses of small insects like mites that had died in the sun inside the blankets.

Ok……

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyue's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

When the system said that, she immediately banned it for half a month without saying a word, leaving no room for negotiation.

Moreover, she strictly forbade the system from mentioning this matter again, otherwise the consequences would be borne by the system.

Just as Lin Xiyue was quietly enjoying the warmth of the sunlight, a voice suddenly reached her ears.

That was Meros's voice, tinged with anxiety and urgency.

The sudden sound made Lin Xiyue feel puzzled. She slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

The moment she looked up, her gaze met that of Meros.

Moros was rushing towards her at an astonishing speed, looking very anxious, as if something serious had happened.

This made Lin Xiyue feel uneasy. She didn't know what had happened to make Moros so anxious.

Meros's figure drew closer; he had already reverted to human form after pinning down Phib.

Therefore, Lin Xiyue no longer needed to look up to see his face clearly.

Although, she probably couldn't discern any expression from his furry cat face.

However, she also knew that the prototype of Meros was very energy-consuming and would be suppressed, a state that must be very uncomfortable for him.

Therefore, after capturing Phib, it is quite possible that he will revert to human form, or even revert to cat form.

As for Fei Bo, he was forced into a human state because he was completely controlled.

That's why Lin Xiyue saw him in such a disheveled state.

If Fei Bo had remained in his previous state, even if Lin Xiyue knew he was in a sorry state, she wouldn't have been able to tell from his appearance.

This is similar to how humans can hardly distinguish which cats are beautiful and which are not in the eyes of a cat.

{As an aside, in a cat's eyes, a big white cat is like a big fat cat, while a calico cat is like a beautiful woman.}

At that very moment, Meros was rushing toward him in a frantic hurry, his steps frantic, as if the whole world was collapsing beneath his feet.

His face was filled with anxiety, and his deep eyes were brimming with worry, as if they were about to burst forth at any moment.

Lin Xiyue was completely unprepared for Molos to suddenly rush towards her so impulsively. She was stunned for a moment, and her body stiffened slightly.

However, before she could even come to her senses, Meros had already rushed over like a whirlwind and pulled her tightly into his arms.

"Amo, wh...what's wrong?"

Lin Xiyue was taken aback by Mo Luosi's sudden embrace, and her voice revealed a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

Because of the height difference between them, when she was held tightly by Moros, she couldn't look up to see his expression clearly, and could only vaguely glimpse his strong jawline.

However, although Lin Xiyue could not see Molos's face, the system could see everything.

[Host... um, Boss Mo's expression seems a bit off. He looks... like he's about to destroy the entire world. The last time I saw him like that was the day you had your accident.]

The system's voice trembled slightly, clearly frightened by Meros's current state, and it cautiously reported to Lin Xiyue.

"Huh? What happened? I can't see anything!"

Lin Xiyue suddenly felt that everything in front of her was pitch black, and a sense of anxiety welled up in her heart.

She called out anxiously, hoping to get help from the system.

Don't worry, I'll take a look for you right away.

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's shout, the system immediately realized that the situation was dire and quickly responded.

It quickly activated its scanning function to conduct a comprehensive examination of Lin Xiyue's body.

After all, prior to this, the system would not arbitrarily enable the scanning function, let alone scan Lin Xiyue, in order to protect the host's privacy.

Furthermore, Melos has a very strong possessive streak; if the system dares to scan Lin Xiyue at will, the consequences could be unimaginable.

If he discovers that the system has been scanning Lin Xiyue without permission, he might pull the system out of Lin Xiyue's body and give it a good beating!

[Holy crap! Something really went wrong!!]

The system's exclamation seemed to explode in Lin Xiyue's ears, her heart clenched, and an ominous premonition surged into her heart.

As soon as the system's voice finished speaking, before Lin Xiyue could even ask a question, the scene unfolded before her eyes like a movie.

In the scene, Melos tightly embraced Lin Xiyue, his arms like iron clamps, firmly imprisoning Lin Xiyue's body in his arms.

His head was lowered slightly and placed on top of Lin Xiyue's head, as if to feel her warmth.

One hand gripped Lin Xiyue's slender waist tightly, the force seemingly trying to meld her into his own body.

Melos's entire posture exuded a strong possessiveness, as if Lin Xiyue were his private property that no one could touch.

However, in stark contrast to his behavior, his face was unusually pale, as if all life had been drained from him.

Although he was gently comforting Lin Xiyue, a dark cloud hung over his eyes, a chilling and ruthless look.

The other hand was the key to why Meros's face was so ugly and why the system had just screamed—that hand was tightly gripping a thin, long object, like a thread.

The thread somehow became connected to Lin Xiyue's body, located approximately at her tailbone.

It pierced straight through the clothes, as if it had no substance, yet it was so realistically connected.

Even more surprisingly, the thread was still pulsating rhythmically, seemingly drawing energy continuously from Lin Xiyue's body.

However, just as this energy was being drawn out of her body, it was blocked.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Meros's hand was gripping the thread tightly like an iron clamp.

His strength was so great that it seemed he was going to crush the channels inside the thread, making it completely unable to draw energy from Lin Xiyue's body.
