Chapter 24: Black Cat Sheriff is Too Dedicated

The black cat was an extremely intelligent feline, instantly grasping its master's intent, and it meowed several times in succession: "Meow~ Meow~"

It meant: You're planning to use birds for surveillance?

Cheng Han nodded: "Exactly! From now on, you'll handle the night shifts, and the birds will cover the day shifts, monitoring Tan Zicheng around the clock."

During the daytime, there's plenty of sunlight. If the black cat is always wandering around there, it's easy for the other party to notice. But birds are much smaller targets, suitable for daytime stakeouts.

The black cat understood: "Meow~"

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head and asked, "You've been out all night, you must be hungry now. Should I get you a midnight snack?"

The black cat happily wagged its tail: "Meow~"

After working hard for most of the night, who wouldn't enjoy a delicious midnight snack?

The cat assumed its master would first light the stove and then heat up the leftovers from last night, but reality was quite different from what it imagined.

The black cat saw its master pick up a large bowl filled with braised rabbit meat with both hands, and then turn back to smile: "Sheriff, I'm going to show you a magic trick."

It blinked its eyes in confusion.

What magic trick?

The black cat witnessed with its own eyes a dim red light flashing in its master's hands.

In just a moment, bubbles began to "gurgle" in the large bowl, and hot steam spread out, mixed with a rich aroma of meat.

The black cat was dumbfounded.

This scene once again subverted its feline understanding of the world.

Cheng Han touched each bowl, and the dishes were reheated. Then, he added a little water to the leftover rice, and in the same way, the rice became warm as well.

The whole process took no more than fifteen seconds, an incredibly fast speed.

The black cat felt an extreme sense of unreality in the face of this scene.

This was naturally the effect of the True Flame Remnant Seal.

Previously, a portion of the remnant seal had been completed. In addition to the increased temperature of the flame, it also gained a supernatural ability similar to "thermal radiation."

The sun in another timeline is an incredibly huge fireball, constantly radiating heat into the universe, spanning billions of years. (Note: There are three ways of heat transfer: heat conduction, heat convection, and thermal radiation. Each has its own differences. I won't go into detail here.)

Isn't it only natural for the True Flame Remnant Seal to possess this ability?

This is very scientific!

Cheng Han smiled triumphantly: "From now on, I can save a lot of money on fuel."

It's impossible to save it all.

Because using the remnant seal to convert heat requires consuming mental energy, and his mental energy is limited. If he uses it continuously, he can only last for an hour at most.

By the way.

The climate in this world is relatively cold. In just another month, by the end of October, the average temperature will drop to around five degrees Celsius, and it won't rise back above ten degrees Celsius until late March of the following year.

In other words, the winter lasts for five months, so a large amount of fuel must be stored.

Last year, Cheng Han had just transmigrated and spent a long winter in the orphanage. To save money, the orphanage only burned firewood for heating for five or six hours each night.

In his previous life, he lived in a warm southern region. Suddenly arriving in this terrible place, he was really frozen stiff.

If it weren't for the decent quality of this body, he would have probably frozen to death long ago.

The next day was a day off.

Cheng Han rarely stayed in bed until after seven o'clock.

The morning chill was a bit heavy. He wanted to indulge in the warmth of the bed, but the black cat was the restless type. It caught a bird early in the morning and brought it back.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The chirping of birds kept coming from the living room.

It must be said that Black Cat Sheriff was too dedicated.

Cheng Han sighed and muttered regretfully, "I should have told the sheriff yesterday not to catch birds before eight o'clock."

He yawned, quickly put on his clothes, got out of bed, and opened the bedroom door.

"Meow~"

The black cat squatted at the door, greeting its master good morning.

Cheng Han ruffled the cat's head, then turned to look at the top of the storage cabinet.

There, a gray bird with a small tuft of white feathers on its head, forming a small crest, was shrinking back in fear and unease.

It was clear that the terrifying experience of being caught by a cat, then carried in a cat's mouth, all the way to this place, had left the bird with significant psychological trauma.

Cheng Han smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad! A 'gray-spotted finch' is a very suitable monitor."

Gray-spotted finches are common birds. They are quite small, slightly smaller than an adult's palm. If they are standing in the treetop, they are not easily noticed.

Even if Tan Zicheng discovers it, he probably wouldn't take it seriously.

Cheng Han glanced at the black cat and praised, "Sheriff, you did a great job."

His black cat had firmly remembered his words and faithfully fulfilled his request, so it had to be praised.

"Meow~"

The black cat wagged its tail happily.

In the past, Cheng Han would have had to put in some effort to use the Spirit Control Remnant Seal to control the gray-spotted finch.

The reason was simple.

If the target's mental state is in a highly tense state, the soul will generate a strong resistance, and the effect of the remnant seal will be greatly reduced.

Of course, it's not impossible to control.

It's just that the remnant seal isn't particularly powerful, and it would take several days to gradually wear down the gray-spotted finch's resistance before finally controlling it.

But now, Cheng Han had a better method.

His mental power transformed into tentacles, gently touching a purple light sphere.

This was the third remnant seal – the Spirit Universe Remnant Seal.

It was also a magical existence specializing in the mental realm.

With a thought, Cheng Han activated the remnant seal.

His mental energy instantly decreased by 0.8 points.

A barely noticeable purple light flashed in his pupils, and a mysterious force descended. His eyes inexplicably became deep and filled with a wonderful attraction.

The black cat unconsciously raised its small head, staring fixedly into its master's eyes, its feline eyes filled with blankness.

The gray-spotted finch's soul was even weaker, and it was more obviously affected.

It walked forward a few steps blankly, its pair of pea-sized eyes staring straight into Cheng Han's eyes.

Cheng Han gave a smile and said softly, "Hi, little fellow, don't be nervous, it's very safe here."

The gray-spotted finch immediately changed.

Originally, the crest on its head was standing high, but now it spread out.

This was a symbol of complete relaxation.

Interestingly, the black cat was also affected by the supernatural power, and its posture changed from squatting to lying on the ground.

Cheng Han slowly extended his right hand, his palm flat, and said, "Come on! Land in my palm."

The gray-spotted finch hesitated for a moment, and a trace of resistance arose in its subconscious, but the Spirit Universe Remnant Seal quickly invaded, nipping the resistance in the bud.

It fluttered its wings a few times, flew down from the top of the cabinet, drew an arc in the air, and landed steadily in the center of his palm.

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth lifted slightly.

It must be admitted that using multiple remnant seals in coordination is much stronger than a single remnant seal.

Cheng Han was about to use the Spirit Control Remnant Seal to completely control the gray-spotted finch's mind when he suddenly felt his pants leg being grabbed.

He glanced down and found that the black cat had actually stood up on its hind legs and was making a climbing posture, as if it was also preparing to climb up.

Cheng Han quickly said, "Sheriff, you don't need to come up."

"Meow~"

The black cat cried out and sat back down unwillingly.
