Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 320 – Cat Dad Convinces Local Cops

After the ghost was purged, Jin Ijin rushed into the room and inspected the chief. The latter was still breathing, but he didn\'t respond to his call.

"What did you do, Miao Xiaomao?!" yelled the detective.

"I\'ll tell you the story of Solomon Ghosts, munya. If you let me talk, I\'ll tell you everything."

"…"

Jin Ijin told his colleagues to call an ambulance and brought his chief out of the station. Then, all detectives, police officers, and Jin Ijin listened to Xiaomao\'s story.

.

An hour later, Xiaomao finished the summary of the situation he was in.

Jin Ijin narrowed his eyes. Although he was still afraid of Xiaomao, he mustered his courage to confirm a few things.

"So if what you\'re saying is true, the irregular missing cases are all related to the game?"

"Yes, munya. Either Pan Xian or Solomon abducted them. Solomon stole people and replaced them with his minions while Pan Xian merged the bodies of the gamers with their game avatars, munya."

"This is ridiculous!" Jin Ijin covered his face with his palms. This case defied all logic and common sense.

One of Jin Ijin\'s colleagues asked Xiaomao, "About the recent anomaly in the sky a few days ago, was Solomon or Pan Xian behind that?"

"The anomaly?"

As Xiaomao was inside Mir\'s shadow at that time, he didn\'t get to see the eyes in the sky. Still, he heard about it from Mir. But when the detective showed the recorded clip from his laptop, Xiaomao could guess its origins.

"Oh, that? It\'s Solomon, munya. Pangu\'s eyes are different."

"I-I see. So that was his work, huh?" The police looked at Ijin, who took charge of this case.

Jin Ijin stared at Xiaomao, giving him a meaningful look.

"What are you planning to do after this?"

Seeing that everything went according to his plan, Xiaomao got to the point.

"Since Pan Xian sold Earth to Solomon, we can only work together to fight off the invaders, munya. But since regular people are powerless against these ghosts, I\'m planning to migrate as many people to a safe place that Solomon\'s ghosts can\'t reach, munya. Then, from there, we will train you so that we can come back and retake Earth, munya!"

"And where are you planning to take us to?"

"It might sound strange, but the safest place is the game world, munya."

This gave Jin Ijin a severe headache. From Xiaomao\'s testimony, Pan Xian and Solomon were behind this pandemonium. But to survive, they had to migrate to one of Pan Xian\'s game worlds.

It didn\'t make any sense!

Xiaomao had expected this reaction. He elaborated.

"I know what you\'re thinking, munya. It\'s true that Pangu Online 2 is a VRMMO game, but in reality, it\'s a real planet. All NPCs are real people. The monsters there are also real, munya."

Xiaomao skipped the minor details about the law of the game world, such as the monster-respawning rules, their strength, and their strength curve, making it simple for non-gamers to understand.

"Is there no other way, Miao Xiaomao? Can you kill Solomon and get this over with?" the other officers also didn\'t like the idea. They didn\'t want to abandon their precious home to live in a strange place.

"You should be aware that I\'m fighting alone, and there\'s a limit to what I can do to help, munya. Also, Solomon is freaking strong. I can\'t fight him alone, munya."

"…"

Xiaomao continued pitching his sale, "If you keep staying, you will be exposed to the ghosts, munya. Once they capture you, you and your family are done for. Imagine this – One day, your kids and your wife suddenly turn into someone you don\'t know. They have the same look, but their souls are different, munya."

The officers in the interrogation room and the observer room gulped, thinking of the worst-case scenario.

That would be terrifying!

They didn\'t want to get sucked into Hell or see their loved ones becoming victims!

Jin Ijin took a deep breath. He gave Xiaomao a meaningful look, "Will there be harmful or danger if we join the game with our real bodies?"

"Unfortunately, yes, munya. If you die in the game, you might die for real. But if you want to acquire a superpower, you will have to risk your life, munya."

"Another question, if we migrate to the game world, can we come back to retake the planet in the future when we\'re stronger?"

"Of course, munya! I can teleport from Earth to the game world. Obviously, you can do the same in the future as long as you\'re a part of the Cathulhu Faction, munya!"

The officers looked at each other. They hesitated if they should entrust their fate to this suspicious superhero.

However, Jin Ijin trusted his instinct. He suggested to his friends, "I have an idea."

Jin Ijin paused. He wanted to ask Xiaomao to protect his family, colleagues, and innocent people in Korea. However, he didn\'t want to put all responsibility on this superhuman with a dubious background.

He thought of the higher-ups. Most of them might have been replaced by Solomon Ghosts, but there might be some good ones that didn\'t know about the crisis.

"Miao Xiaomao, if you are speaking the truth, I want you to do something for the country."

"What is it, munya?"

Jin Ijin explained while he gazed at Xiaomao.

"The recent anomalies and the existence of these ghosts change everything. We saw how the ghost came out from the victims today. Although we want to believe in you, we need a solid proof that your ability is real. Therefore, I have a favor for you. I need you to heal or cure some patients in a hospital. Prove that your power don\'t harm people!"

"That\'s a nice idea, munya. But it will definitely cause some issues since my power covers everybody in a 100-meter radius. I might accidentally flush out some ghosts among doctors, nurses, or the patients, munya."

Xiaomao liked the requests. Indeed, healing sick people to gain fame was the best way, but there were flaws in this move. In case ghosts took over some of the populations as Xiaomao had said, many ghosts would surely come out from doctors, nurses, and visitors. It might have caused chaos and commotion, and the mass hazard might follow.

Korea had learned a harsh lesson from a mass hazard from the Itaewon Incident. Instigating a commotion in a public place was not the way.

"I have another idea," Xiaomao counter-proposed. "Instead of sending me to cure people in a hospital, you pick up a few terminally ill elders here to have them treated. If my ability can cure cancers or heal dying patients, you should understand that I\'m speaking the truth, munya."

His colleagues nodded in approval. Xiaomao also admired Ijin\'s insight.

"I don\'t mind, munya. Let\'s get it done!"

Jin Ijin turned to his colleagues, and everybody nodded. They left the interrogation room to gather a few elders to meet Xiaomao.

After most cops left the room, Jin Ijin escorted Xiaomao out.

"Follow me. Don\'t cause trouble."

"Yes, sir, munya!"

"By the way…"

"Yes?"

"Can you stop munya-ing? It\'s annoying."

"That\'s impossible, munya! Munya-ing is a culture, munya!"

"…"

Again, Ijin took a mental note. This stupid superhero was 100% mental.
