My name is Hu Xiaoman, an ordinary young man who runs a pet shop in a corner of the city. I am timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He even closes his eyes when killing fish. Until one day, the courier boy delivered a strange-looking black cat. The moment I scanned the code to sign for it, an APP appeared on my phone - [Mythical Creature Containment System].
This black cat is no ordinary pet. It is an ancient ferocious beast called "The Black Cat", which can speak words and confuse people's hearts. And my new job is to be a "temporary guardian" for these mythical beasts that leaked into the human world from the cracks in mythology: helping the irascible Qiongqi find a psychiatrist, ordering takeaways for the depressed Bifangniao, teaching the fearful Bai Ze to use his smartphone... And by the way, help them solve the mysterious organizations that want to hunt them.
I thought this would be a healing job, until I discovered that the gentle uncle who came to the store every day to buy cat food was actually the top hunter of the Tianshou Bureau; the female reporter who always loved free coffee held an ancient scroll that could seal the mythical beast; and my blackmail beast kept talking about taking me to find its legendary "king" every day.
When the secrets of various mythical beasts, the truth about the containment system, and the mystery of my own life gradually came to light, I realized: this pet shop was not a shelter at all, but a volcano about to explode.
And I, Hu Xiaoman, a coward who doesn't even dare to fight, is becoming the savior in the eyes of all mythical creatures.
