11: Chapter 11 Identity

After returning home, she immediately left their house in the Old City District with her parents, and the whole family boarded a train heading to the Central District.

On the train, Tang Juan and Ye Songtao stared at the scenery outside the window like curious babies, constantly exclaiming in wonder.

As ordinary people, they had never been to the Central District, so naturally, they had never seen its sights before.

Looking at her slightly excited parents, Ye Qingzhu couldn't help but think to herself, "I'm powerless to protect others, but I must work hard to protect the safety of my Mom and Dad!"

Thinking this, she couldn't help but hug Doudou tighter in her arms.

"Doudou, you can't run around once we get there. The people there are bad to the bone. Be careful they don't catch you and lock you up with 100 female cats!"

Ling Yichen, transformed into a White Cat, gave her a flat glance with a strange expression.

Ye Qingzhu noticed his expression and immediately burst into laughter.

Clearly, she had been amused by her own lame joke.

...

The train was very fast, and an hour later, they arrived at the Central District train station.

After calling a taxi at the exit, they headed straight for the address of their new residence.

The house in the new residence was also allocated by the Supernatural Management Association, but it was only for rent. It only cost 5 points a month, which was very cheap—only 500 credits a month when converted.

Before long, they arrived at the address of the new residence.

It was a residential community called Chenxiang Garden, located in the northern part of the Central District. It was a 20-minute commute to the Supernatural Management Association, but only 10 minutes from her new school, making it very convenient.

The buildings in the Chenxiang Garden community were all dozens of stories high, completely different from the low-rise houses in the Old City District.

This also brought quite a shock to Tang Juan and Ye Songtao.

They were like elderly people who had lived in the countryside all their lives suddenly arriving in a big city; looking at the skyscrapers before them, the feeling was very intense.

"Mom, Dad, our home is Room 808 in Building B1!"

Ye Qingzhu led her parents toward Building B1.

After walking for a while, they immediately noticed that they weren't the only ones arriving here for the first time; there were others, and quite a few of them.

Tang Juan and Ye Songtao intended to go up and greet people, but they were immediately stopped by Ye Qingzhu.

"Dad, Mom, remember, the people here are different from those in the Old City District. People here are more dangerous and more indifferent. You must remain vigilant at all times."

Ye Qingzhu cautioned them seriously and solemnly.

Hearing this, Tang Juan and Ye Songtao immediately exchanged a look and turned to Ye Qingzhu in confusion.

Clearly, they realized that Ye Qingzhu must have encountered something, which was why her impression of the people here was so poor.

Ye Qingzhu also knew that her behavior had caused her parents to be confused.

She immediately said, "Dad, Mom, there are many Awakened Ones here. They have no reverence for the lives of ordinary people. Moreover, the hierarchy here is very strict. We are currently just low-level Citizens, so it's better to be careful."

At the mention of Citizen grades, Tang Juan and Ye Songtao's expressions also stiffened.

The constraints of Citizen grades applied even in the Old City District.

There were three major categories of Citizen grades: Refugees, Citizens, and Residents.

Each major category had three levels: low, middle, and high.

Ye Qingzhu's current Citizen grade was Low-level Citizen. Those who could live in the Old City District had all reached the Citizen grade.

As for Refugees, Ye Qingzhu had never actually seen them, because they were a group of people living in the Underground City, dealing with mine shafts all day long and rarely coming to the Surface—at least, Ye Qingzhu had never seen one.

Having been warned, Tang Juan and Ye Songtao immediately dropped the idea of socializing and silently walked toward their residence.

They found Building B1, took the elevator, and arrived in front of Room 808.

Ye Qingzhu immediately took out her badge, unlocked the security system, and then entered her information as well as her parents'.

She even entered Doudou's information.

In the future, they would only need to scan their faces to enter.

"Wow, it's so big and beautiful!"

As soon as Tang Juan entered the house, she was immediately stunned by the facilities and furniture inside.

The furniture was all solid wood, and there were various advanced appliances, countless times more high-end than the Old City District.

Even Ye Songtao was overjoyed.

Seeing her parents so happy, a smile also appeared on Ye Qingzhu's face. For the first time, she felt the benefits of becoming an Awakened One.

"This will be our home from now on!"

Immediately, the three of them began a simple tidying of the house, while also putting away the things they had brought from the Old City District.

After the tidying was finished, Ye Qingzhu saw that it was still early and decided to head to school to report. This way, she could understand the world of the Awakened Ones a bit sooner and also recognize herself more clearly to control her Supernatural Ability.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to check out the new school. You guys familiarize yourselves with the new environment first!"

Saying this, she went out the door.

Once Ye Qingzhu left, Ling Yichen, who had been quietly lying on the windowsill, stood up languidly. He leaped off the windowsill with ease, walked elegantly to the door, scanned his face, and went out.

After exiting and walking to a corner to avoid the surveillance cameras, he shifted his form and immediately turned into a handsome youth.

The youth looked at his stark naked state and gave a soft sigh.

"It seems I can't live as a White Cat forever; I still need to have an identity of my own!"

He then turned back into a cat and quickly disappeared into the hallway.

Twenty minutes later, at the headquarters of the Central District Supernatural Management Association.

People were coming and going in the massive headquarters, a constant stream of traffic, but everyone was focused on their own business. No one cared why a White Cat would appear here.

The White Cat walked elegantly into the association headquarters and headed toward an empty service window.

With a light leap, it jumped onto the service window, its blue eyes staring at the staff member.

It was a young girl in her early twenties with an ordinary appearance and temperament. Her name tag read 'Chu Qi'.

Chu Qi was also surprised to see a cat and wondered why one would appear here.

Just as she was about to drive it away, a red glow appeared on the cat's body. The red glow quickly darted onto her face and then disappeared.

Chu Qi immediately began to tremble in her chair, but after only dozens of seconds, she returned to normal.

She quickly began operating the computer, and soon fabricated a reasonable and valid identity for Ling Yichen.

Ling Yichen didn't delay either. He turned and jumped off the service window, strode out of the Supernatural Management Association, and headed straight for a nearby shopping mall.

Entering the mall, he went straight into a men's clothing store. There were four shopping guides and a store manager inside.

Ling Yichen's cold eyes flashed, and five streaks of light suddenly burst from his body. After the light hit the targets, the five people immediately trembled where they stood; all five had been parasitized.
