The two actors began to act without realizing it, in front of a dozen to dozens of humans who kept passing by.

The only problem was that Fran knew there was something wrong with the guy on the other side, but the dummy lacked knowledge about cats.

At least that's what it looked like to Fran.

After teasing for a while, the dummy "Mansheng" picked up the kitten that was very close to him, turned around and walked into a sparsely populated alley in the inner city.

The number of spectators around her gradually decreased, and Fran seemed to feel the changes in her surroundings.

As the number of observers decreased, the arms that were holding him seemed to gradually become hard and cold.

She subconsciously mobilized her muscles and tried to jump out of the dummy's arms, just like stray cats often do.

But the simple attempt failed.

The hard feeling coming from those arms was not an illusion. Fran was tied tightly to her chest with her hands and arms.

broken!

This was the first thought that came to Fran's mind.

Although she was very nervous, Fran, who had extraordinary cat intelligence, quickly thought of three ways to deal with it.

The first one is to play dumb, thinking that you are just a cat and the dummy should not be able to see anything different.

The second one is to activate the gift given by Lin Qingliu, the pendant that looks like it has no sense of design and doesn’t match the cat at all.

Although Fran really wanted to leave it like this, she knew in her heart that it was the last option. Once she used it, something might happen that she couldn't solve.

The last one is simpler.

As a stitched creature that is not a pure mammal, Fran can ignore both the flow of blood and the beating of the heart for a short period of time.

In short, she was able to play dead.

After thinking it over, Fran decided to combine plan one and plan three. She planned to play dumb in front of the other party, then escape and report the matter to Lin Qingliu immediately.

After turning another corner, Mansheng had led Fran to an alley.

Such a place is not easy to find in the inner city, but the dummy still found one.

Walking into the deserted alley, Fran felt as if the other person's arm had turned into a mechanical arm that could rotate flexibly, spinning her around while keeping her restrained.

What met Fran's eyes were a pair of eyes stained with gray and black.

Mansheng's eyes, which were originally black and white, now looked as if they were filled with a layer of flocs.

But behind the unclear flocs, a tiny red dot was like a real pupil, meeting Fran's eyes.

"Meow?"

Fran tilted her head.

Just a moment of eye contact reminded Fran of the already blurry scene.

Her thoughts went back to the time when she was just born and she remembered how she grew up with the other green cocoon beasts, then inhaled the flickering gray-black particles, and finally became their puppet.

It was not until I gained true wisdom in a long dream that I was able to truly and objectively examine my past.

After going through her past memories, Fran clearly understood one thing:

Everything you have suffered and obtained is an extremely low probability event.

There may never be another low-level monster thrown down from the sky in this world.

There would also be no abandoned alien beasts that would be smashed into pieces by anti-aircraft guns and fall into a garbage dump that happened to contain animal carcasses.

There will not be an unknown individual who can disguise himself as a normal human being but cannot even see the essence of life and show kindness to you.

But the unknown life form had told her personally that she had completely broken free from the control of the mycelium.

In just a moment, Fran thought of Lin Qingliu's promise to her.

A sense of confidence emerged in her body, allowing her to be more natural and more decent...

Play dumb.

That’s right, the moment she saw those pupils, Fran knew that she was definitely no match for the guy opposite her.

After confirming that there was no mycelium in her body, Fran concluded that the other party would not be able to read her memories.

As long as you refuse to admit it, the other party will have no choice.

The worst that can happen is that I kill myself!

Eighteen days later, it's a good cat again!

Thinking of this, Fran's eyes became more and more dull, like an ordinary animal whose brain was filled with eating and sleeping.

"You have the scent of your family on you."

"Sprawling" stared at Fran with his scarlet eyes, constantly trying to expose her disguise.

"Why did you lose touch with your will?"

The movements of "Spreading" became more and more vigorous, and Fran behaved like a real animal that was about to be killed, and her limbs began to struggle constantly.

"You are not a dependent?"

Fran was still struggling and showed no sign of responding.

Staring at the pair of eyes that were already a little dazed and still dull, "Mansheng" seemed to be sure of something and sighed unconsciously.

He suddenly exerted force on his hands, and with the sound of crackling, Fran was completely dead.

"Mansheng" shook the corpse in his hand a few times, and after confirming that there was no sign of survival, he threw it into the darkest corner in the deepest part of the alley.

Then, he looked around and made sure that no one had noticed his uncivilized behavior. He turned right and left the alley, disappearing from the visible range in the alley.

Fran's unfocused pupils were looking towards the alley entrance. It was hard to tell whether she was really dead or faking it.

Her brain did show signs of life, but the crushing of her spine was not fake.

In other words, Fran's current behavior is more like that of a high-level paraplegic patient, unable to control her body, and all her thoughts and brain commands cannot be transmitted.

But she was not in a hurry about this, because the part of blood left by Lin Qingliu had ended its dormancy and began to be semi-active after detecting the attack from the outside world.

If an ordinary person had such a precious opportunity, he would definitely start to repair his body quickly, and then escape from the area while no one is around.

But as a super-powered animal that can transform into common inanimate objects, Fran is more patient than many humans.

She was able to remain motionless for dozens of hours until her ability to transform reached its limit and she had to transform back into a cat to repair her abilities.

After long practice, Fran discovered that humans are creatures that are very good at camouflage.

And at this moment, the dummy disguised as a human seemed to her to be better at disguise.

When the other party was outside on the street, he used the method of looking back quickly and slowly to determine whether there was a follower behind him. If he was suspicious of him, he might do the same now.

In other words, has the other party left?

Are you really gone?
