Chapter 769: Chapter 117 D&K_1Behind the cluster of cats, on an open ground not too far away.
Originally, there were only five little mice huddling together, quivering with fear.
Now, the area is stacked high with these small rodent animals with pointed faces, round ears, gray fur, and long tails.
Each pair of mice are crammed together, their tails knotted, their heads facing the same direction, neatly arranged on the ground like turnips sold by vendors at the morning market. Unlike the five trembling ones they first encountered, these newly arrived mice all have their eyes tightly closed and are completely still.
If it weren’t for their nostrils gently fluttering and the occasional twitch of their whiskers around their mouths proving that they were still alive, this scene would be eerily similar to the horrifying events that once occurred in Auschwitz concentration camp.
"The quality of this batch of mice is a bit poor," said Dr. Xiao while holding his notebook, crouching in front of the pile of mice, occasionally playing with them with the feather of his quill pen, checking their teeth and tail, and jotting down or sketching in his black notebook.
"This will do... The school has almost been cleared of mice by them, I think it is already very difficult to find this many," said the black cat casually, pacing around the pile of mice, "In fact, even if there were extra cages in the store, my cat gang could not provide any more mice... unless you would agree to substitute squirrels or hamsters.

According to Zheng Qing’s suggestion at the previous Knights Group meeting, their shop should belong to the tertiary industry -- this can be seen from the name of the shop that they finally decided on after several group meetings.
The full name of their planned shop is ’Ding-Ding-Finance-and-Kill-Kill-Bug-Co., Ltd,’ or ’D&K’ for short, meaning ’Ding Ding Finance and Pest Control Ltd.’ The term ’ding ding’ mirrors the sound of jade coins dropping into a pocket and thus the onomatopoeic word was unanimously approved by all members of Absolution; ’pest control’ comes from a series of tasks recently assigned by the school.
Due to the early resurgence of ’The Silence’ this year, the ecological chain on the entire Buji Island has undergone certain changes, the most direct impact being more and more ’troublesome creatures’ appearing in the campus -- including scavenger beetles moving in flocks, as well as mice, eight-eyed spiders, five-legged beasts, and Red Chain Snakes, which all prey on scavenger beetles.
As the core area of the Magic World, the University naturally wouldn’t allow these dirty little bugs to wreak havoc in their backyard. Therefore, the school has issued a series of tasks, requiring all academies and re
"Since catching mice is easy for you, Captain, then this must naturally be our biggest advantage!"
