Deviant: No Longer Human

Chapter 97 - 97: Most Efficient Way!

And just like that, everyone was busted—right at the moment they discovered the myth of demon cats was real!

They had often heard stories warning that if they didn't awaken PK before going to school, their fate would be fatal.

However, many dismissed it as a joke, believing it to be just a folklore tale.

There were also rumors of wild cats supposedly killing those who couldn't awaken PK, but given the absence of any reported deaths, most treated it as mere superstition.

Wang Xiao casually nodded, "So we ended up having quite the memorable night. No harm done, I don't see any issues."
