"It's almost time." Yun Jie looked at the sky, and then the figure disappeared into the air without a sound.
Bai Mo then also left the cafe.
After they left, the cups they had drank returned to a brand-new state like going back in time, and they consciously floated back into the backstage kitchen.
No one thought there was anything wrong, except for a certain cat who had been sleeping.
It has already been transformed into a demon, and apart from being gifted with spells, its spiritual intelligence has long been as normal as that of ordinary people, so it is only then that it is aware of something wrong.
Instinctively, it walked to the kitchen, wanting to get those two cups.
There were people walking around in the kitchen, all busy waiters who couldn't stop.
The big cat carefully avoided them and moved forward.
To be honest, it doesn't like the environment in the back kitchen of the coffee shop. There are hot liquids everywhere, which can easily hurt itself, but there is no way. For the two cups, the cat can only take one trip.
"Fortunately, it didn't go into the dishwasher."
It didn't take much effort to find the position of the two cups.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these two cups look no different from other cups, they are both industrial products of the same style, but in its view, the special kind of spiritual light shrouded in the cups is like a guiding light .
Just as it twisted its body and jumped onto the table lightly, it was about to stretch out its claws to take away the two cups...
"Tom!!!"
"Tom!!!"
"Come and catch the mouse!!!"
There was a scream from the storage room.
A burly woman in a maid outfit and carrying a broom ran out with a slightly frightened expression, shouting at Tom as she ran.
Tom is the name given to the big cat by the maids, and the strong woman is the supervisor of this maid cafe.
She was free today, and planned to go into the storage room to clean up, but just as she opened the door, she saw a mouse stealing food.
The mouse glanced at the maid, then immediately dropped the food, slipped under her skirt, and disappeared through the door of the storage room, leaving her stunned.

Seeing this, the big cat had to temporarily put down the two cups it was already holding, and ran in the direction of the sound.
The federation has extremely strict restrictions on animal spirits. Once a self-awakened monster is found, except for a very few lucky ones who are accepted as spiritual pets by important figures, the rest will be arrested and sent to concentration camps to undergo long humanized brainwashing and enslavement education.
Life in the concentration camp was not easy, and monsters with a little bit of information would not have the idea of going in.
They would rather hide in a remote corner that is difficult for the extraordinary from the Federation, and survive incognito, just like stowaways.
Tom is one of them.
For a long time, it just pretended to be a slightly smarter cat, nesting in the cafe and waiting to die.
If the fact that he has become a spirit is exposed, it is likely to attract investigators who want to forcibly "contain" him.
"That idiot mouse, to steal food and be discovered by the head maid, is really stupid."
The mouse was another sprite hiding in the coffee shop, and Tom had dealt with it a little before, and the two even agreed on some rules.
On both sides, the river water does not interfere with the well water.
Trotting all the way, Tom came to the side of the head maid, and circled around her thick, pillar-like thighs several times.
Of course the mice had long since disappeared.
"Useless guy!" Looking at the big cat who came late and only knew how to put on airs, the head maid cursed a few words, then closed the door of the storage room and returned to the front desk.
Although Tom could understand what she said, he couldn't refute it, even if it could end the human's life with a single paw.
Now it is different from decades ago, the federal police have long been equipped with the magic tool for solving crimes - backtracking in the air.
For all homicides and major cases, as long as the police carry this psychic device backtracking through the air, they can reproduce most of the things that happened at the scene of the crime.
In disguise, it is equivalent to a ubiquitous surveillance camera, but the longer the backtracking time, the greater the consumption.
Generally, the local police station is equipped with a stay-in-the-air retrospective, which can probably trace back what happened within a month, and it is limited to the city.
If you want to look back on what happened within half a year, you need to apply to a provincial unit.
At present, technically, the upper limit of time for backtracking in the air is about one year, and this kind of high-precision instrument can only be applied for in the capital Marinjoya.
New technologies are always easy to be used by people to do bad things.
Backtracking in the air is no exception.
From the lowest level of peeping, how to use backtracking technology to reproduce the environment of bathrooms and bathhouses, as a mutt pervert, to high-level spy work, use backtracking to reproduce the state of the scene where the confidential person enters the password, and steal important password information.
Many special abilities and technologies in the age of spiritual energy will be ruined by some people with big brains.
Where there is a spear, there is a shield. Scientists discovered very early on that a strong psychic reaction would greatly interfere with the retrospective effect, so some experienced murderers would use a psychic bomb to completely destroy the scene immediately after committing the crime.
…
Tom obviously doesn't understand this, he only knows that he can reappear his own figure when he is backtracking in the air, and if he is found out to be a murderer by this gadget, he will immediately be the investigator who chases and bites him to the ends of the earth.
For "containing" a monster like Tom, the Federation can give a reward of 200,000 to 300,000 federal dollars, which is enough for a family of three to live in a big city of the Federation for a year.
Of course, the acquisition cost of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan is actually nothing in the monster brainwashing and selling industry chain operated by the Federation. The official price of a second-tier monster bodyguard who has undergone thorough loyalty education is at least tens of millions.
…
"This fat woman is not a character, she is killing your sister." Tom followed and left cursing, ready to go back to the kitchen and take away his own adventure.
After hundreds of years of hard work, whether it is the Federation or the land of Bai, from humans to demons, from immortals to mortals, there is only one official language left - the common language.
This kind of thing that mixes multiple language families has become a bridge for everyone to communicate, including monsters. Because their social structure is too loose, they have no time to develop their own language, so learning and using human language directly is undoubtedly It is the lowest cost approach.
"Dead-old-rat! Put it down!!!"
When it walked back to the kitchen on the catwalk, the scene in front of him made Tom angry.
This reckless guy actually wanted to take away the cup that belonged to him!
It's also a coincidence, the mouse was eating quietly in the storage room, and didn't notice the two fairies coming outside.
If it hadn't been startled by the head maid, and came to the kitchen in a panic to run away from the sewer, it wouldn't have found those two things that were shining with psychic light and looked like nothing.
