The area around the building had already been surrounded by a large number of police officers, guns loaded, encircling the central building, with over ten members of the Abnormal Phenomenon Adjustment Bureau remaining.
"Mu You, you’ve finally arrived!"
Zhang Yang, who was directing at a distance, hurried over to meet Mu You as soon as he appeared.
However, as soon as he got close and saw the thing in Mu You’s arms, he was taken aback, "Why did you bring a cat with you?"
"Actually, the person you guys have surrounded is the owner of this cat..." said Mu You.
"What exactly is going on?" Zhang Yang asked with a strange expression on his face.
Mu You had no choice but to give a brief explanation of Fuya’s identity and how they met at the Magic Academy.
There was nothing much to hide about the incident itself, but Mu You still left out the existence of the well.
"So that’s how it is..." Zhang Yang let out a slight sigh of relief after listening. This seemed to be just a simple case of a Different World Personnel accidentally entering Earth through a Space Fissure, not involving any conspiracy or power struggle.
Such incidents actually happen every day all over the country, but usually, those who come through the Space Fissures are Small Size Magical creatures and harmless ordinary people, so the impact is minimal, not significant enough to draw attention.
A case one, where a High-ranking Wizard appeared directly, was very rare.
"So let me handle this next, I will talk to her, have everyone else back off," Mu You said.
"I’ll leave it to you then, but be careful. That girl’s Fire Magic is quite terrifying, the lot of us were thwarted by her alone, unable to get close..."
Zhang Yang patted Mu You’s shoulder and advised.
Dealing with high-ranking Different World characters is tricky since these individuals often wield formidable powers, and if not handled well, it can easily lead to massive casualties.
Zhang Yang had been worrying about how to handle this situation. Now, if Mu You had a way to peacefully resolve it, nothing could be better.
Meanwhile, inside the abandoned concrete building, Fuya was leaning against a wall, cautiously peeking out through a window frame without glass.
The encirclement outside seemed to have retreated somewhat since earlier, but Fuya didn’t dare to let her guard down.
As one of the Magic Academy’s top students, both her theoretical knowledge and practical skills were first-class. She was confident she wouldn’t lose to anyone outside, but she also understood the principle that one can’t fight off many hands alone, and rushing out now would almost certainly result in being captured.
As someone completely unfamiliar with the culture of the Forgotten Land, she couldn’t hope that the law enforcement from this otherworld would treat her with kindness. At best, if captured, she’d be imprisoned; at worst, there’s no need even to mention it. Therefore, she could only choose to resist and look for an opportunity to break out.
At that moment, a series of light footsteps arose from afar.
Fuya’s ears twitched, and with a swish, her Magic Wand extended in her hand, a Fire Spear quickly formed and shot out in one direction.
The Fire Spear exploded on the ground at a distant corner, but along with the blast, what sounded was a somewhat familiar meow.
Fuya was stunned, and quickly looked up.
She saw a completely charred cat leap out from behind a wall, one paw raised, pitifully running toward her while continuously letting out a pitiful meow.
"Sphinx!" Fuya was surprised. Even burnt to a crisp, she recognized the cat she had owned for seven years.
"Meow, it’s me, master, I missed you so much..."
Cola hobbled quickly on three legs towards Fuya, expertly flopped down, and began to act spoiled.
Fuya hurriedly checked it and fortunately, it hadn’t been directly hit by the Fire Spear; there were no wounds, only some singed fur.
Fuya applied a healing spell, quickly restoring Cola to its original state.
"Sphinx, how did you end up here?" Coming back to her senses, Fuya hastily asked.
"Meow, master, you came out of that well, right? I came through there too. I was playing in the backyard that day and accidentally fell in..."
Cola quickly explained away, the core message being: it didn’t intentionally run away from home, but ’accidentally’ fell in.
"Then how did you find this place?" Fuya did not have time to dwell on its running away from home and continued to ask.
"I... it was Mu You who brought me here, meow... But I didn’t go directly to Mu You after coming here; I roamed around for a while before ’accidentally’ being found by him..." Cola somewhat guiltily explained, fearing its master would think it lacked cat morals and was fickle.
"Mu You? Do you mean the Fool who took care of you before?" Fuya asked.
"Yes, and master, you should surrender. You can’t beat them; there are too many of them!" Cola said again.
"So you were sent by them to persuade me to surrender?" Fuya immediately frowned.
Cola quickly shook its head, and as it was about to explain more, Fuya suddenly became alert, shouted ’who is it’, and then shot a Fireball in another direction.
The Fireball sped on its way and eventually exploded against an ice wall, dissipating immediately after.
The next second, the ice wall vanished, revealing Mu You standing behind it.
"Stop, stop, stop, it’s me!"
Seeing that Fuya was still in a spell-casting stance, Mu You hastily cried out in Star Spirit Language.
