Many readers wrote to ask me how

I found so many things to write about

In fact, some happened to myself

Tonight's theme is about three persons

No, two men...

and one cat, to be exact

And the story should begin with my friend Li Tung

You make so much noise at this hour every night

Don't people have to sleep?

Now I couldn't care less!

Open up!

Open up!

Why don't you open up?

Open up, open up!

What the hell's the matter with you?

You make so much noise after midnight every night

What are you hammering? A coffin?

Sorry to have disturbed you

You're making me nervous

If you go on,

I'll call the police

My goodness!

I'll try...

to cut down the noise

Easy

Up!

Be carefuI. Take it easy

Easy

Be carefuI!

Sorry, I'm really sorry

Are you moving?

Sorry for the noise I caused

You hammer each night...

for what?

Wait a minute

Can start now

Li Tung told me that out of curiosity

He decided to go to that old man's home to have a look

Mr Chen, they can still move

These intestines are fresh-scarcely 2 hours old

Wang Chieh-mei, the intestines of a child?

Don't panic before the truth is out

They're intestines all right

But it is a cat's, not a man's

I told you not to make any fuss!

Right

No more gory violence.

Cheers!

Brother, I don't drink before sunset

The sun has set in many parts...

of the world

Come on, drink

Really want me to drink?

Drink

What is that?

Vodka, the strongest wine in the world

It can burn easily, terrific!

Terrific!

Pai So, are the crabs ready?

You've been teasing me the whole night

Don't keep bullying Li Tung

We bully you?

Eat crabs

This wine is very strong

Good

Give me a gun

Gun?

Show me

Come on, really nice

These wines won't agree with you

Try yellow wine for better taste

Hong Kong people can drink at will. So lucky

Thank you, madam

Come on

Come on, drink

A bigger gulp

Wisely,

there's something spooky about that house

That can and girI stared at me with eyes wide open

Wang,

can the police get someone to investigate

The whereabouts and background of that cat?

If we had time for that

We might as well catch a thief

Who's got time to care about that cat? Crazy!

But frankly, that cat and girI do

Look like demons in Greek mythology

Nothing could arouse your interest more than firls

Don't get jealous over nothing!

I have a strong feeling

Friends even suspect me...

to be from another star

I am convinced that girI and cat come from another star

They should be good-natured

But kindness is bound to bring eviI

EviI is coming to pass in this city

Something...

strange happens in the historicaI museum

There is a gadget in the museum

An octagon,

which baffles even the archaeologists

But to the starmen

It's an important weapon

Who's it? Who's it?

ErroI

Curiosity is the finest thing in life

Curiosity leads to progress

And retards the ageing process

Young girI, cat, old man, they all disappear

But I must follow the case

But how to get started?

Well, Li Tung said

That when that girI moved

The transportation company seemed to be Jen Jen

I remember seeing the TV...

and of and old man lifting his finger

My curiosity forces me to get to the bottom of the thing

What? Someone's coming?

With the address given me by that old man

I eventually found the house they live in

There's nobody, don't panic!

We must find the other octagon as soon as possible

Only then can we wipe out the star killer

And return home

If by chance we can't go back

We'd better die over here

Who? Who's there? Come out quickly!

Don't hurt him!

Destroy him just in case

No, we can't kill mankind

There's no hatred between us

I thought I was dreaming

Till I see...

this wound

I never knew a cat could fight too

And so hard

That cat tried to kill me,

but that girI saved me

This matter is getting increasingly confusing

That cat is dangerous

But when I woke up in that house that day

I found no trace of either the cat or man

I gave up hope...

of getting to the bottom of the case

Till Pai So...

and I discovered that cat's trace

On TV News the other morning

Got it from a ball game?

I hit myself against the wall

Why? I could've helped you

You? You didn't even come once a week

What's the matter? Why take my underwear

When you've got so much of your own?

It gives me the feeling...

of you holding me close?

You don't need me any more then

You went to bed late last night.

Why get up so early today?

Want to sleep 4 hours a day like Napoleon did?

He'd sleep 3 hours a day only

If he knew 1997 was fast approaching

Is a man more potent early...

in the morning?

Here now is a speciaI announcement

A mysterious theft occurred

In a historicaI museum early this morning

The burglars stole only an octagon...

with centuries of history

No other items on display were lost

The burglars broke in through the window, according to the police

They broke the glass box...

and took away that

We also believe...

they fought 2 guards

And ended up killing them

Here ends this speciaI bulletin

I'm sure it's linked with that big cat

I'm going too

Let me take a bath first

Okay

Don't!

You scoundreI,

you fling me down the water!

Damn it! Don't go!

Wang Chieh-mei?

I'm now going to the spot of the theft

See you at the Exhibition in half an hour. Goodbye

Morning, sir

Sergeant, how's the situation?

No idea. Go and see for yourself

There are traces of burn all over

But no signs of a fire

I guess no human could've achieved this

Everything else okay?

Sir, the man who takes fingerprints is here

Here?

What? Taking fingerprints when it's all burnt

A matter of procedure only

Morning, Mr Chou

Morning

Sir, I won't handle the hair

I'm sure it was that cat's

That cat's wrought so much havoc

But I can do nothing about it

Animals punish sinning animals

One can't live...

with incessant barks

And still enjoys it. What a crank he is!

Chen lives alone in such a big house

Because no one cares...

to work for him

So it's you, Wisely

Never imagined that? I only want to see these dogs

This is my friend Inspector Wang

This is Mr Chen

Please come in

Chen, tell your baby not to be so passionate

Remember you were scared by my dogs last time?

Chen, I want to borrow a dog from you

The fiercest and most belligerent one

What for? To get even...

with a neighbor's dog?

No, a cat

Cat? You must be joking

Heard the morning news?

I suspect it was linked with that cat

Under these circumstances, we must assign Lao Pu

Which Lao Pu?

Look, he's taking a rest

This is Lao Pu

He's the most beautifuI yet bravest dog in the world

No dogs are his match

I think he's eligible

But how can I take him out

if he's not in the mood?

There are not more than 10 dogs of this pedigree in this world

He has a unique personality...

and hates beck and call

He keeps calm when facing a strong rivaI

He's a reaI fighter and looks every inch like one

He's a dog with a difference

Say something nice to him

Lao Pu, you really are a good dog

I've never seen anyone as capable as you are

Now, take him away

I'm leaving

Bye-bye

Thank you

Mr Wang

Got a lead...

on the bank robbers

Let me go and see

I've had joy rides with girls

But never with a dog!

Now that dog has been following me like a close friend

I feeI the same way too

Could I have changed?

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

I've lost my best friend Wang Chieh-mei

It takes 3 days...

to mutate the human body

So we must make use of the human body...

before the mutation is complete

sure

Now go and get the weapons

Get going

Mr Wang, can I help you?

What's so urgent over the phone?

Some of your folks got killed?

It won't happen at my home

What do you mean, Mr Wang?

I'm joking too

What is it all about?

Guns

Can't you get them from the arsenaI yourself?

We must keep this a secret

So the police are perpetrating

They take the law into their own hands even before 1997

I would've arrested all of you

If your brother hadn't been my man

Show me

This is Milan 357 calibre,

the deadliest Colt

FataI Inspector uses it too

It has too few bullets

Fast loading makes it as effective

AKM is the most advanced portable light machine gun of the Communists

All the Terrorists use it

It has too few bullets and is heavy

USMG, an Israeli officiaI;

weapon fires 1,200 shots per minute

MP5K, H&K, West German

It fires 850 shots per minute

I also need guns with loose bullets

The ordinary Remington has 5 shots only

Your looks show it's not enough

This is Demonstrator

The 1 st Roulette Loose Bullets gun with a round of 12 shots

Thank you

What for?

Business is business.

Police or thugs pay alike

Collect it from hell!

Mr Wang, that's not a funny joke

I'm not joking

I mean to finish off your mom too

You're not human, you're not human

I'm not human

I'm not human

Bye-bye

Wisely, hungry?

Shall we order snacks?

Follow me

Quiet!

After him!

You've made a mess of my Lao Pu

Luckily Lao Pu is still alive

Or Chen, a pet lover,

would've forfeited my life for him

Professor Yu, how's Lao Pu?

How's Lao Pu?

He's going to live. Don't worry

I'm now at ease

He's so strong, he's going to survive any men

He'll be OK in a week or two

Thank you. Professor Yu

Thanks for saving his life

Lao Pu

Good boy, let's go home

Lao Pu, let's go home

Be nice, Lao Pu

Lao Pu, let's go home. Be nice

Professor

Professor Yu,

how's the lab report on that cat's taiI?

Wisely, what are you up to?

This is a university lab

Why make fun of me with a dead cat's taiI?

Dead cat's taiI?

Yes, bone analysis shows it died...

scores of years ago

After the carving,

we can wipe out the enemy?

If we piece together the two octagon

That'll sure kill the enemy

Don't worry, I'll take you back

GeneraI

ErroI, he's injured

How come that cat's taiI is missing?

Why did you get to Wisely?

Our duty as knights is to protect our master

Now you've lost part of your body

How can we take you to leave the earth?

ErroI, don't blame him

He is also a brave knight

He got that compass himself

What happened last night is incredible!

The taiI of that cat...

I chased stuck by my car's trunk

And he ran away after biting his taiI off

After analysis,

it belonged to a cat who died over scores of years ago

But I saw it...

fully alive

How could it be a dead cat?

Want to have a look?

So ugly, it's better to bury it quickly

You're eviI

You're damned, you scare me

Could that cat be coming back...

to find his own taiI?

Impossible!

Don't make me nervous

Pai So, don't move, let me cope with him

Wisely, don't!

Please don't worry. We mean well

Who are you?

We... we're not earthmen

We come from outer space

We fled to the earth...

only because

Our star was occupied by eviI influence

When the old man was telling the story

Space killers were closing on us

I owe you no grudge.

Why did you try to kill me at Tang House?

We didn't mean to

That night you slipped into Tang House

We didn't mean to knock you unconscious

It was we who saved you

What about the cat intestines...

Li Tung found at your home?

To prolong that cat's life

I kept researching the cat bowels

Wisely,

now we're all in danger

Our bodies must get out of earth quickly

We must graft this cat's taiI first

How can you do it?

He can do it

It's okay

Wisely, the killers from outer space are here!

Don't worry, Pai So, follow us

Light the fire quickly!

Wang Chieh-mei? Chieh-mei

Quiet!

Is he human?

He's no linger your friend

Keep away!

Run!

Give it to me

Don't!

ErroI

Don't!

ErroI

Don't!

ErroI

Run!

Run!

Come, hurry up

Hurry up

Why are you bringing us here?

Now ErroI's dead. Nobody to guide us

I must get back to my own star

Let's go up to have a look

What on earth is she looking for?

I've found it! Look!

What's this?

It is our star. You take a look too

Come over and see

How are you going to go back now?

Is this your spaceship?

What?

Spaceship, it's an earthman's term.

Primitive

Your star emits very strange lights!

I've got in contact with them

The octagon has picked up signals from space

Stellar radioactivity...

will melt us into the galaxy

To decompose our bodies

And we'd be homing on the radio pulses

That's tremendous!

The generaI's body has been radiated

He's now the strongest knight...

in the universe

Does it mean that if our bodies were decomposed

We could likewise go to your star?

Splendid. Let's go up on a pleasure tour

You're already going back. Leave quickly

If the enemy should keep up, it'd be too

Fare you well

We can't leave till the enemy is wiped out

We now have the conquering weapon

That tooI?

The cat's body

The cat's body as the weapon?

The octagon, when meshed with cat's hair,

can decimate cells

Why didn't that cat kill the enemy...

when you were at my home?

The octagon...

didn't receive the stellar signaI

Now the time is ripe

You know where the enemy is?

We have hunches of his existence

We can leave now

Wait

Let's go with you

Pai So, report to the police now

Leave through the back!

Use it on the enemy

Not now, not till the octagon radiates

Let's leave quick!

GeneraI

Be carefuI!

Wisely

Catch

Give me your hand

Keep away!

Don't go up!

Come quickly!

Give it to him!

How are you going back now?

Through this glittering substance

GeneraI can take us back

GeneraI

Wisely, thank you

We must leave

Take care

Wisely

Are you all right?

Yes

Wisely, please return to the police to close the case as a matter of routine

Okay

What about them?

Wisely, I'm a reporter of western daily

I hear that you got a strange encounter. Give me some data

Sorry, I'm very tired

No interview, please

That's not right, wisely

Or you may read it...

in my next noveI
