Chapter 36: Roly Poly
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
“Did you adopt a cat?”
The devil’s words left ‘Angel’ surprised and shocked. He could not understand Zhao Yao’s interest in a cat.
Zhao Yao continued staring at ‘Angel’ and asked again, “Did you adopt a cat? Bring me to the cat which you adopted.”
“Al..... Alright, I understand,” ‘Angel’ repeatedly nodded his head and clarified, “I have never believed in the existence of heaven, I have always been a staunch believer in hell. Even when I’m playing games, I will always choose to be on the devil’s side.”
“Fine,” Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and repeated, “Just bring me to your cat.”
Zhao Yao followed the ‘Angel’ into another room. As they were walking towards it, Zhao Yao could already hear clanking coming from the place.
Inside it, Zhao Yao was greeted by a mass of black and white meat on the sofa.
It was a cat which was predominantly covered in black fur. Its mouth, chest and belly region were coated in silky white fur. This cat was commonly known as the snow behind the dark clouds.
However, Zhao Yao was more shocked by this cat’s massive frame. It was a moving meatball.
Compared to its belly, its four limbs seemed so short and small. Zhao Yao wondered if it was even capable of rolling over.
The cat was surrounded by bags of potato chips, biscuits and an assortment of tidbits.
Zhao Yao realized that the clanking might have been from the cat munching on these tidbits.
The cat was visibly shocked when it saw Zhao Yao, and the ‘Angel’ entered his room. When it noticed ‘Angel’s’ hands tied behind his back, the cat immediately tried to stand while simultaneously turning invisible.
The cat managed to turn itself, the sofa and even the floor invisible. Looking around, Zhao Yao saw that everything was turning invisible; it was as if these things just vanished into thin air.
“Hmm, where is it,” Zhao Yao muttered. Zhao Yao’s ears twitched as he was trying to locate the cat.
However, no matter how hard he strained his ears, he could not hear the cat’s footstep.
“How can it move so quickly?” Zhao Yao instantly turned around to shut the door, sealing the only exit out of the room.
He thought, “How can a cat be so fat yet agile in its movements.”
However, Zhao Yao was not worried about the cat escaping since he had already sealed the only exit out of this room.
At the same time, the reach of its power was increasing as more things turned invisible. It was like an invisible dye that stained everything it touched.
Suddenly, Zhao Yao and the ‘Angel’ felt a tingling sensation coming from the sole of their feet, towards the rest of the body. Their body also started to turn invisible.
“How is this happening?” The ‘Angel’ was horrified and mumbled, “Did Roly Poly receive the gift of God?”
On the other hand, Zhao Yao started to frown as he saw the scene unfold before him, “This power of invisibility is way more troublesome than I thought. Its reach is unimaginably big. Roly Poly’s power is significantly stronger than the ‘Angel’ and Baiquan.”
Zhao Yao was afraid he would not even know where he was if more things turned invisible. Worse still, if the entire building became invisible, he might not even be able to leave the building. He would be as good as blind.
If a fire started and he accidentally touched an electrical wire, he would not even be able to save himself.
Zhao Yao realized the potential of the power of invisibility and the danger that it could bring about.
While Zhao Yao was pondering over how to escape from this power’s influence, everything suddenly reappeared, and the power of invisibility had been lifted.
Roly Poly remained on the sofa. He was still trying to catch his breath while he mumbled, “No, no, I’m too tired.” Roly Poly frantically waved his fat paws in Zhao Yao’s direction. Roly Poly exclaimed, “Faster! Someone flip me over! I cannot move!”
“No wonder there was no sound...” Zhao Yao rolled his eyes, walked towards the sofa and sneered, “Are you so fat that you cannot even turn on your own?”
“Huh? You can understand me?” Roly Poly asked with a face of astonishment.
The ‘Angel’ tried to clarify and shouted, “Devil, Roly Poly is just an ordinary cat, I have no idea how it managed to possess such power, please do not hurt it.”
“This cat, it is actually pretty cute,” Elizabeth said with a curl of her lips.
Zhao Yao saw the tidbits on the sofa and remarked, “You are spoiling it by feeding him so many tidbits.”
“Do not worry; I am not going to hurt your cat. However, I have taken a liking to him, and I’m going to bring him back.”
The ‘Angel’ hesitated when he heard these words. He stammered,” Bu.....But Roly Poly is my only friend. It is my companion. Can you ...?”
“Get lost, if not I’ll kill you.”
Rings of flame started appearing around Zhao Yao, and the dominant voice erupted in ‘Angel’s’ ears.
The ‘Angel’ was terrified, and he stumbled towards the door as he tried to escape.
After warning the ‘Angel’, Zhao Yao turned towards Roly Poly and asked,” Are you responsible for everything that has happened under this roof? Roly Poly?”
It seemed like Roly Poly was breaking into a cold sweat. He looked at Zhao Yao awkwardly and meowed a few times, trying to imitate an ordinary cat.
“It is a little too late to start pretending like you are an ordinary cat,” Zhao Yao slapped Roly Poly at the back of his head.
At this moment, Matcha and Elizabeth squeezed both their heads out of the cat bag.
“Is that a supercat?” Matcha asked curiously, “But he looks so ugly.”
Elizabeth evaluated, “But his power of invisibility will come in pretty handy.”
After seeing Elizabeth and Matcha, Roly Poly finally relaxed, “Oh, so you are my allies.”
“Who wants to be your ally?” Match uttered as he slapped Roly Poly on his face, “How did you manage to create this thing?”
“Don’t hit me! Don’t hit me!” Roly Poly screamed in despair, “I will tell you everything! Everything!”
Zhao Yao finally understood the situation after listening to Roly Poly’s explanation.
Roly Poly‘s owner, ‘Angel’, was a middle-aged man who did not have a family and struggled financially.
After his divorce, he became fixated on this religion. He pinned all his hopes on the god that he believed in.
Two months ago, Roly Poly awakened his superpower. After receiving this power, Roly Poly wanted to repay his owner’s kindness for taking care of him, and he also wanted to live a comfortable life. Roly Poly started to use his power on the sly to help ‘Angel’, and established the Brotherhood.
“But how can the rest of the people use the power of invisibility. When they were using it, were you around?” Zhao Yao questioned Roly Poly.
“Huh, you didn’t know?” Roly Poly was surprised by Zhao Yao’s question and said, “We, supercats, can momentarily transfer our powers to humans. Haven’t you guys tried it?!”
All this while, Roly Poly thought that Zhao Yao had borrowed the supercat’s power to defeat ‘Angel’ and reached this stage.
Zhao Yao glanced at Matcha and Elizabeth before he stared at Roly Poly and said, “Explain everything to me in detail.”
