Looking at the mysterious sponge-like creature on the sofa chewing watermelon crazily with juice splashing, Li Ren couldn't help but think of the bloody scene in horror movies where the butcher threw the victim into the wood crusher and the body parts were splattered everywhere.

"This life form that doesn't look like a human at all should also be a taboo." Li Ren thought to himself: "Honglian seemed to call her just now..."

“…Sister?” Li Ren pondered over and over again on this title in his mind.

At the same time, Qingcai, who had changed into a pair of cartoon black cat slippers, was slowly walking towards the sofa.

Then, she calmly extended her hand to the sunken hole on the head of the mysterious life form, and began to rub it back and forth affectionately.

"Karen is watching TV by herself... That's great." Qingcai's tone was unprecedentedly gentle, as if she was talking to a child: "Sister also wants to watch TV for a while, can you give me the remote control?"

The mysterious life form named Karen seemed to be happy being touched by Qingcai. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and from time to time, a "purring" sound like a pet kitten would come out of her hole.

After hearing Qingcai's gentle request, Karin, like an obedient child, slowly extended her trembling tentacle holding the remote control in front of Qingcai.

"Thank you, Kallen."

Qingcai took the remote control with a smile, and at the same time rubbed her palm gently on the hole in Karen's body that was still flowing with bright red juice, causing her to tremble again.

On the other hand, Qingcai, while caressing the well-behaved Kallen, pressed the TV remote control and switched between news channels one after another.

"The new drug Rainbow Oral Liquid for Anti-lesion was approved for marketing yesterday and has been included in the list of medical insurance drugs."

"What you are seeing now is a precious image taken at the fireworks display held at Downton Park, where thousands of people were gathered. Mr. Ren Li, the Minister of the Legitimate Defense Department of the Human Civilization Survival Committee, is interacting cordially with the people present. Their faces are filled with happy smiles."

"In the early hours of this morning, there were foreign intruders in the vicinity of Luoshajiang Ancient Town, and all the related illegal immigrants have been captured by the committee staff."

"Smile Baby Inc, a well-known overseas anti-human rights organization, will visit our country tomorrow. The organization has publicly stated that 'the life of a taboo is also a life', 'even if a human has not become a taboo host, as long as he identifies himself as a taboo, he can still be identified as a cross-species taboo', and 'what the world lacks most today is the attention paid to the taboo group. The current priority is to fully promote the relevant agenda in all countries' and other statements."

News about taboos was broadcast one after another. It was hard to believe that just a few days ago, the domestic media were still in a state of complete blockade of various topics related to taboos.

Looking at Qingcai at this time, when she saw the news about the taboos being broadcast on TV as scheduled, she actually breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that everything is going according to plan..."

Qingcai whispered to herself.

Then she slowly turned her head, and then looked at Li Ren who was still standing alone at the door, and Hong Lian who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa with her legs crossed, caressing her sister vigorously:
"Li Ren, this is the bodyguard the committee assigned to you, Honglian."

"Honglian, this is Li Ren."

As Qingcai introduced each other, Honglian nodded coolly to Li Ren, which was considered a greeting.

Then, Qingcai, who was already too sleepy to open his eyes, yawned slowly: "That's about it for today, we'll talk about business tomorrow morning. I'm going back to my room to take a shower and go to bed."

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Ren to respond.

Yawning, Qingcai rubbed her eyes and walked back to her room. Not long after, the sound of running water could be heard in her bedroom.

"Hi! Roommate." Seeing Qingcai leave, Honglian, who was sitting beside the sofa, also said, "From today on, we are roommates living together. Is it okay for me to call you that?"

Honglian said as she pulled her arm out of her sister's hole, and then stretched her snow-white hand, which was still stained with her sister's body fluids, straight in front of Li Ren, as if to shake hands with him.

Seeing this, Li Ren was stunned for half a second.

Then he generously stretched out his hand and shook hands with Honglian, making his hands full of mucus.

"Okay, now we've officially met." Honglian said as she let go of her hand, then bent down and picked up the little sister on the sofa: "The little sister said she was sleepy..."

"…Like Qingcai said just now, let's leave the serious matters for tomorrow!" Honglian said, turned around, and then waved with one hand to Li Ren with his back to him. It was considered a good night.

Then she held her sister and walked towards the bedroom that belonged to the two sisters.

During this time, she would lower her head from time to time and gently say to the big meat ball in her arms: "I know you want to play with the new brother... but children can't stay up late! You must go to bed on time at 8 o'clock every day... and watching TV for too long will hurt your eyes..."

Honglian walked back to the bedroom muttering, then she closed the door from the inside with a "click".

After the door is closed, in the living room.

Only Li was left alone, standing there in a daze.

"They... are really not shy." Li Ren commented in his heart, and at the same time silently lowered his arm which was still raised in the air, maintaining the handshake gesture.

He then turned and walked towards the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and patiently washed his hands that were stained with unknown mucus.

"By the way, they haven't told me yet..." Li Ren was washing his hands while thinking to himself: "Where should I sleep tonight?" Then, just as Li Ren began to think: "Should I sleep in the living room?"

Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening in the living room. A few seconds later, Qingcai, who had just finished taking a shower, knocked politely on the kitchen door and walked in.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten to tell you just now..." Qingcai spoke while tilting her head slightly and wiping her wet hair with a bath towel.

"…You can sleep in the cat room tonight."

At this moment, Qingcai, who was not wearing glasses after bathing, looked different from his usual serious and formal appearance.

At the moment, she was wearing a set of cute baby collar pajamas, with soft black hair falling naturally around her neck. She also exuded the sweet fragrance of shower gel like peach.

The pleasant light fragrance made Li Renwei dazed for a moment.

But he quickly came to his senses and continued the other person's words: "I sleep in the cat room?"

"Yes," Qingcai nodded: "Come with me."

Qingcai said and waved to Li Ren, then turned and walked towards a locked room next to the kitchen.

This is a very weird room.

The reason why it was weird was that on the clean and retro white lacquered door of the room, there was a rusty iron lock as big as a palm.

Then Qingcai took out an iron key from his pocket, which was also covered with red rust and looked very old. Then he inserted the key into the keyhole skillfully.

Li Ren couldn't help but start to wonder. Could there be some taboo hidden in this room?

"Hey, why did I say 'also'?"

When Li Ren was complaining about himself in his heart, Qingcai had already removed the big iron lock swiftly.

Fortunately, after the door was opened, no strange or mysterious creatures came into Li's sight.

Instead, it was a fairly normal room. A clean and tidy bedroom.

In the bedroom of about 30 square meters, there is a double bed and a full-length mirror covered with white cloth facing the door.

In a row on the west side of the room, there are oversized double-decker cat houses, cat climbing frames, cat litter boxes, cat scratching boards, feeders and other pet supplies. Most of them have tags with the words "Mr. Jiang's Official Use" written on them.

Seeing this, Li Ren thought, This might be why this room is called the "Cat Room".

Looking at the east side of the room, there is a large seven-layer metal bookcase, the same type as the one in the bookstore, against the wall.

Then Li Ren casually glanced upwards and saw that most of the books displayed there were physics books with titles such as "Foundations of Physics", "Physics and Philosophy", "What is Matter", "Definition of Matter", "Matter and Memory", "Space-Time-Matter", "Matter, Dark Matter and Antimatter", etc.

During this casual glance, Li Ren's eyes suddenly fixed.

It was because he accidentally saw that in the middle of the bookcase, in the most conspicuous position, there was an old wooden photo frame——

In the photo frame is a yellowed family portrait.

In the center of the photo, a little girl with twin ponytails and wearing a blue junior high school uniform is holding a black kitten with lavender eyes.

Behind the little girl, standing on the left and right were adults in business attire who seemed to be her parents.

"The girl in the photo should be Qingcai when she was a child." Li Ren guessed in his heart: "Could the person she is holding in her arms be the conceptual taboo of the committee... Jiang Ye?"

But Li quickly denied this guess in his heart: "No, that's not right."

"When Jiang Ye transformed into a cat, his pupils were clearly red and blue. And this photo was obviously taken a long time ago... At that time, the Overlap Day had not yet occurred, and Jiang Ye had not yet crossed over to the human world."

"So..." A new inference formed in Li Ren's mind: "The little black cat in the photo is Jiang Ye's host?"

"And the green vegetables..." Li Ren thought, looking with mixed feelings at the person beside him who was walking towards the feeder calmly, then squatted down skillfully and began to change the water and food for the green vegetables.

“…She has always been Jiang Ye’s master?”

Thinking of this, Li Ren stood in awe. (End of this chapter)
