Chapter 270 Crimson Mirror
The palm-sized kitten was still in a daze.
The big white cat naturally stretched out its tongue and started licking. Its strength was so strong that it licked the kitten to the ground without much effort.
In a short while, the kitten was soaked all over, and its eyes became dull from being licked, filled with shock.
It was Xu Zhiyan’s first time being a cat and he wasn’t very skilled.
When he was licked at the beginning, he waved his paws to resist, but the white cat was like a steel plate and couldn't push him away at all, so he simply lay down and let it lick him.
The huge snoring was deafening.
After recalling it, Xu Zhiyan was sure that the big white cat that was licking his fur should not be angry.
But this is too outrageous!
After licking for half an hour, the kitten's fur became wet and dry, dry and wet again. Finally, Xu Zhiyan was let go by the big white cat before his fur was licked bald.
But before he could react, the big white cat coiled up around him and lay down on the spot, as if it was going to sleep.
"Brother? Brother, are you going to sleep? Do you want to eat some cat food before going to sleep?" Xu Zhiyan muttered, trying to escape from the big cat, but unfortunately he failed.
The tiny complaints came out of the little kitten's mouth and turned into soft cat meows...
Due to species reasons, this call sounds like a coquettish sound, which is completely different from its original intention.
The big white cat remained indifferent.
It curled the kitten in its arms and lay down on the spot, as if it really wanted to sleep.
"...Brother, can you understand me?"
Xu Zhiyan was a little overwhelmed.
This is not right!
This is totally different from what we agreed. He clearly chose the way the cat could understand him. Could it be that what he said was too complicated?
Probably because of the soft voice of the kitten, the big white cat lowered its head and touched the kitten's cheek with the tip of its nose, then licked it a few times, with a very intimate action.
Xu Zhiyan turned his head and looked into the cat's eyes filled with laziness, trying to communicate for the last time.
"Brother, please let me go first. I have something else to do."
He gestured for a while, but the big white cat still didn't respond, which made him a little discouraged.
In the spacious and bright cat room, two cats, one big and one small, are in completely different states with contrasting expressions.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but want to complain to the system.
Just then, the big cat moved.
There was gradually some light in its confused eyes.
Before the kitten could react, the big white cat picked up the kitten by the scruff of the neck and walked into the room.
A few minutes later, Xu Zhiyan was shaken so hard that he fell dizzy and landed on his butt.
“Boom!”
He was lowered to the ground.
There is a floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of me.
In the mirror, the image of the little kitten was clearly reflected.
"Meow?"
Xu Zhiyan was a little confused and didn't understand what the other party was doing.
Before he could do anything, the big white cat behind him pushed him against the mirror with its forehead, as if it wanted to tell him some news.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the white cat and himself in the mirror and noticed something unusual.
There is no difference between the white cat and the mirror.
But why was his fur so messy and dirty when he was in cat form? That shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t the big white cat just lick his fur?
Xu Zhiyan stood in front of the mirror and wanted to turn around twice, but as soon as he turned around, the big cat seemed to think he was going to leave, so it pushed him back and forced him to face the mirror.
"Brother, I just want to turn around and take a look." Xu Zhiyan whispered to the white cat.
This time, the other party seemed to understand what he said and did not try to stop him.
Xu Zhiyan turned around carefully.
He swore that his original intention was to compare himself inside and outside the mirror, but because he turned into a cat, he saw his own tail wagging when he turned around...
A desire to grab the tail rushed straight to the top of my head.
Even though he usually had amazing self-control, he was unable to resist the thoughts that were stirring in his mind.
Just, just catch it!
Finally, the kitten couldn't resist the temptation and started spinning around in front of the mirror, grabbing its own tail.
The white cat beside him lowered its eyes and looked at him, its eyes full of complexity. It seemed to have thought for a long time before making up its mind, and moved two steps towards Xu Zhiyan.
Completely different from the short, thin tail of a kitten, the white cat's tail is thick and powerful, sweeping back and forth like a broom.
Xu Zhiyan originally despised himself for being influenced by biological instincts, but when he saw the big white tail shaking, he couldn't help but pounce on it.
Shit! Is this the kitten?
In the live broadcast room, the audience who came to pet the cats were very satisfied.
[Cute, really cute. ]
[I'm so awesome, I really like this big and small one. ]
[Although I can see the despair in the little million cat's face, but hahahahaha, it's really cute! ]
[I'm a little curious, what kind of temptation can make Xiao Baiwan grab the cat's tail? I can't even laugh when I see him.]
[No, no, no, the smile will not disappear, the smile will only transfer from Xu Maomao's face to mine. ]
However, apart from the cat-loving audience, the audience discussing the quest line have already started fighting.
[Where did this white cat come from? Is it an NPC specially sent by the system? ]
[Not sure, but I don't think so. Who the hell would send a cat as an NPC... Shit, Jin Sheng's companions don't count.]
[I think this cat is trying to give Xiao Baiwan some clues.]
[You think it's useless? Don't talk nonsense. The little millionaire in the mirror is a little different from the one outside the mirror, but the difference is not big. What is the clue? ]
[I'm so anxious. This cat keeps moving around. Why is it lying down again? ]
In front of the mirror, the big white cat looked at the little kitten who was finally tired of playing, and the clarity in his eyes gradually faded.
As if the action of carrying the kitten in front of the mirror just now was an illusion, it once again became a "beast" relying on instinct.
The jumble of memories made it almost too much to bear.
Time goes back one hour.
The tour guide Bai Jin, who had half of his body recovered, was left with only half of his broken body lying beside the blood pool.
The remaining recovered parts were also unable to return to the main body.
The body parts mixed with blood were thrown here and there beside the pool, which looked like a murder scene.
In the middle of the blood pool, a huge mirror reflected the image of a sleeping kitten, but its real body just stared at the mirror, watching the kitten sleep for seven hours.
"He can't get out."
Blood's voice was filled with mixed emotions.
It is difficult to describe its feelings towards this human. On the one hand, it is curious, wondering what kind of extraordinary ability this human has to make all the slices out of control. On the other hand, it feels... sorry.
Just like now.
It was obviously some uncontrollable factors that caused the scene information to be incomplete, preventing Xu Zhiyan from getting any clues.
But when it thought that this little cat with a cunning human soul had no chance to leave this space, it felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
“It’s a really contradictory experience.”
Blood sat by the pool, his tone full of annoyance.
It was sure that there was not a single drop of out-of-control blood in its body, whether it was the young master on the cruise ship, Mrs. Bai in the room, or the out-of-control tour guide lying behind...
In order to prevent the out-of-control clone from affecting its judgment, it separated all the blood.
But it didn't work.
When it looked at Xu Zhiyan through the mirror, it heard the faint sound of its heartbeat in its empty chest.
"I think I've seen him this way."
"Just like now, keep on and on and on...keep looking at him."
The strange familiarity made the blood feel terrible.
It doesn't feel that there is anything it can't get with its abilities.
The blood pool room became quiet.
There was only the sound of blood flowing around.
Just as Blood maintained the same action, watching the kitten in the cat bag shaking its head to wake up, the voice of its clone came from behind it.
"Are you really not going to give me any information?"
"It's not fair to him."
Bai Jin, with only half of his chest left on the ground, struggled to prop himself up with his only arm and spoke to the figure sitting in front of the pool of blood.
"You're just angry at my loss of control."
"……I don't."
Blood didn't look back, and his answer was a little muffled.
"This copy was already in the process of collapse. Its incomplete information is not my business." Its explanation was a little weak.
"But you applied through another message in the game system."
"If you did this to deal with your clone's loss of control, then you are really classless. It's hard to imagine that I am your clone."
Perhaps it has entered a life-or-death mode, as the tour guide Bai Jin's taunts towards the main body become more and more sharp.
“…”
The blood didn't know how to explain its behavior just now.
After two players accidentally fell into an abnormal space, Xu Zhiyan and Wei Guang were unable to receive game information prompts due to the collapse of the copy.
It saw the application, but the system's application was really perfunctory.
After just frowning and hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Zhiyan's information request was automatically rejected due to timeout, while the other human player's request was still there.
They are obviously the same players.
Blood doesn't understand why this happens.
But now it was upset listening to the ridicule of the clone behind it and didn't want to explain anything.
Ah, that’s annoying.
I should have flushed this guy down the drain earlier.
The two of them, one sitting and the other lying, looked at the kitten in the mirror, and their expressions became a little bad.
Suddenly, Blood seemed to think of something. He turned around and looked at the remaining body of his clone. He said contemptuously, "Since you want to give him a hint so much, then go ahead."
"But the extra cat body can't hold all your memories. You won't be able to stay awake for long."
"How many clues can you give... No, you can't give him any clues."
"As for how much he can guess from that little bit of anomaly, it depends on him."
After saying that, Blood snapped his fingers.
The remaining body of the sever clone suddenly laughed, and part of its body turned into blood and dissipated on the ground.
…
On the eighth floor of the hotel, next to the blood pool.
The blood body whose memory was restored looked at the big white cat wagging its tail, and clenched its hands hanging by its side into fists with a very solemn expression.
Damn it!
It shouldn't have let this out-of-control idiot go. Damn it, it should have cut a new clone earlier.
Now looking at the interaction between the big cat and the kitten, it regrets it, very much!
But after repeated consideration, it finally compromised.
"……never mind."
Blood turned his back and stopped looking at the cat in the mirror.
"If I really can't find the secret... I'll take action." It muttered, not knowing who to tell.
However, although it had made up its mind not to look at Xu Zhiyan again, most of the blood pool was composed of blood, especially the mirror.
“Crash——”
The mirror that was originally suspended above the pool of blood suddenly moved slowly and moved in front of the blood.
Now it has no choice but to look in the mirror.
“…I didn’t want to see it.”
After talking tough, it raised its head and looked at the little kitten who was looking at itself in the mirror. There was a tenderness and love in its eyes that it itself was not aware of.
Xu Zhiyan, who was looking in the mirror, had no idea how many people were watching him.
He looked left and right in the mirror and found that the difference between himself and the image in the mirror seemed to have become much bigger.
At the beginning, there was a contrast between the wet cat and the messy cat hair. Now his body is dry, with soft and shiny short hair sticking to his body, which looks and feels very good.
But the kitten's fur in the mirror not only did not become smoother, but became even rougher.
Although his hearing and vision were still somewhat obstructed, Xu Zhiyan was sure that his body was very stable when he jumped, completely different from the trembling sick cat in the mirror.
He felt as if he had grasped a clue.
But there were too few clues now, and he was not sure whether his vague guess was correct.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard outside.
The moment the sound was heard, the big white cat shook its ears, stood up, picked up the kitten who was looking at himself in the mirror, and quickly returned to the room.
After putting the kitten down, the big white cat nimbly climbed up to the window, jumped out of the window from which he came, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Xu Zhiyan was left in the room by a cat.
He looked in the direction where the big white cat disappeared, thoughtfully.
The Faceless Man brought back a new Faceless Man. Xu Zhiyan was very cold and after politely declining several interactions, his caring servant stopped bothering him.
Well, it's nice to be a cat.
When the Faceless Man fell asleep at night, he explored the room again.
This time, without the help of the big white cat, it was quite difficult for him to jump up and down. He tried to find a mirror, but after a whole night, he searched all the mirrors in the house, big and small, but still couldn't find the mirror he wanted.
During this period, he had thought about relying on his sense of smell.
But after he smelled the cat food and snacks, he tragically discovered that not only did he have poor eyesight and ears, but even his nose was useless and he had no sense of smell at all.
Forget it, if there is no such thing, then there is no such thing.
However, considering that he could now understand the words in the room, Xu Zhiyan took some more effort and carefully took the faceless man's cell phone out of his bag.
After poking it a few times, Xu Zhiyan discovered that there was a sleep lock on it, and it couldn't be opened until daytime, so he could only stuff the phone under the sofa.
I hope that the other person will be in a hurry when leaving tomorrow and won’t remember to look for his or her phone.
When the sky brightened, Xu Maomao, who had been busy all night, had fallen asleep in the cat bowl.
Life in a dungeon without supplies is so boring.
I slept until noon.
Xu Zhiyan was awakened by the sound of the faceless man leaving the room.
He got up, stretched, and went straight to the mirror.
During last night's exploration, he discovered that every time he looked in the mirror after a while, the kitten in the mirror would become worse.
At first he wondered if looking in the mirror would make his condition in the mirror worse, but after several tests, he found that the condition of the cat in the mirror was getting worse and worse over time.
At this time, he sat in front of the mirror again, and the reflection in the mirror was frightening.
The lively and cute kitten's reflection in the mirror looks very decadent. Its left eye can no longer be opened, and its sitting posture is not standard, with the whole cat slumped down.
Thinking of a possibility, Xu Zhiyan ran to the living room anxiously while the faceless man was not at home.
Pulling out the hidden phone, he tried to decipher the password on it.
Before he could unlock it, the door opened again.
It was the faceless man who forgot to take his cell phone with him when he went out.
Xu Zhiyan dragged the phone and tried to stuff it under the sofa, but he was weak and powerless, and it was too late. The faceless man seemed to think that the kitten had helped her find the phone, and he touched the cat's head happily.
Watching his phone being taken away, Xu Zhiyan cursed and yelled, feeling helpless.
Forget it, he also prepared a plan B.
The cat bag that he brought had some cat photos printed on it. Although it was put away quickly yesterday, he remembered that the Faceless Man put the cat bag in the cabinet in the warehouse.
Xu Zhiyan ran towards the cabinet using both hands and feet.
Just after turning a corner, before he could brake, he plunged into a ball of long white hair.
It’s the big white cat from yesterday.
This guy seemed to be waiting for the Faceless Man to leave. He ran in immediately without being discovered.
Seeing that the white cat was about to take him to the mirror again, Xu Zhiyan quickly raised his tail and shouted loudly, rejecting the other party's kindness.
"No, no, no, I've been looking in the mirror all night."
Seeing that the white cat's eyes were now clear and seemed to understand what he said and stopped moving, Xu Zhiyan tentatively opened his mouth to make a request.
"I want to go to the warehouse to find a bag. Would you like to come with me?"
After hearing this, the white cat picked up the kitten by the scruff of its neck and walked towards the warehouse.
Xu Zhiyan, who was being held in the mouth, was swinging back and forth in the air.
It was numb. Although he knew the big white cat meant well, it was really weird to be held in its mouth like this every time!
Especially the kitten's body is not very obedient.
As soon as he was picked up, he felt a surge of sourness, which made the cat unable to help but tuck its tail between its legs and not dare to move.
When he was placed on the warehouse floor, Xu Zhiyan only felt that his limbs were still soft.
But he didn't have time to adapt. He meowed and asked the big white cat to bite the cat bag on the top of the warehouse cabinet, the bag that contained him yesterday.
The big white cat is also obedient.
He jumped wherever Xu Zhiyan pointed, and his light footsteps made no sound.
Since he was only accompanied by the big white cat throughout the whole process, Xu Zhiyan did not say much to explain.
The audience in the live broadcast room were extremely curious.
[Curious, what information did Xiao Baiwan find? ]
[It seems like he only read a few messages? ]
【What news? Why didn’t I notice it? 】
[It's the news. He didn't intend to steal the phone at first yesterday. He saw the faceless man's phone and saw a few sad and sorrowful messages, and then attached a picture of a kitten.]
[Oh, I remember, before going to bed, I saw the faceless man saying goodnight to Xiao Baiwan, and his phone took pictures, and then he started typing after taking them...]
[Yes, it said that the faceless man waited for the kitten for a long time, and then heard that the kitten might not be picked up, but finally got picked up, anyway, it was like a lost and found thing? I thought Xiao Baiwan wanted to see the photos inside.]
[+1, I also thought he wanted to see the difference between the photo, the real body, and the cat in the mirror.]
[But it seems like... it's not the case? ]
The audience continued to watch the live broadcast with curiosity.
On the other side, Xu Zhiyan also successfully got the cat bag.
Just as he vaguely remembered from the glance he took yesterday, the bag indeed had the address of the cattery printed on it.
【Pet Love Cattery welcomes your purchase. 】
[Here, you can find any cat you want. We are determined to breed high-quality cats...]
There are many photos of big cats printed on the sides of the cat bag.
One of them was a cat that Xu Zhiyan had seen before. It was the cat that the faceless man who made the phone call yesterday picked up from the box.
The cat in the photo is sitting gracefully, its short reddish-brown fur almost glowing, and it looks energetic. It is obviously a beautiful cat and should be very expensive.
Xu Zhiyan was confused for a moment.
Although he only took a glance yesterday, he was sure that the cat picked up by the man had a dull look in its eyes.
But now he had no time to think about it and pushed the cat bag in front of the big white cat.
"Brother, let's discuss something."
Seeing the big white cat tilting its head to look at me, the clarity in its pupils faded, and now it became confused again and couldn't understand what he was saying.
Xu Zhiyan thought about the reason why the big white cat suddenly became smart yesterday... It seemed like, he became smart after sucking?
With the attitude of giving it a try, he hesitated for a moment, then stood up and rubbed the big cat's chest.
This should be a friendly gesture between cats, right?
Sure enough, after he rubbed it, although there was still confusion in the big white cat's blue pupil, the red pupil gradually became much clearer.
efficient? !
Xu Zhiyan became excited and buried himself in the long fur on the big white cat's chest, rubbing it hard.
Anyway, we are all cats now, so what's wrong with rubbing against each other!
The white cat seemed to be frozen.
After rubbing against the cat for about ten minutes, Xu Zhiyan raised his neck and looked at the big white cat. After making sure that the cat's eyes were much clearer, he returned to the cat bag, tapped the address on it and spoke.
"Brother Cat, please help me, can you take me back to this place?"
As if he was afraid that the other party might not understand, he lowered his head and sniffed, then suggested, "It should smell like a cattery. Can you follow the smell and take me back?"
Seeing that the big white cat was still frozen in place, the little kitten pounced back into the white cat's fur, rubbing against it while meowing.
This action is full of purpose.
But who can say no to a kitten's request?
"Meow meow meow~"
Brother Cat, can you give me a favor?
Seeing the white cat nod stiffly, Xu Zhiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of the blood pool on the eighth floor.
The temperature of the blood in the pool clearly had not changed, but now it was bubbling, reflecting the uneasy heart of the owner of the blood pool.
Blood stared at the two cats, one big and one small, entangled together, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Before he could speak, another mirror appeared.
"We haven't felt such strong emotional fluctuations in several years. Are you okay?" It was the replacement dialogue clone after the tour guide was separated. It watched the whole process, but it was always very quiet.
"You could have explained it to it instead of sulking and regretting it. After all, after the fusion, these memories will be recovered."
"Huh? Why should I explain to my clone?" Blood's voice was still so disdainful.
It didn't want to show anything in front of its clone anymore.
With a snap of fingers, the conversation clone, which had just split out a few days ago, fell to the ground along with the mirror, shattered into pieces, turned into blood and returned to the original body.
Xuefeng looked down at the blood spreading on his palm, pursed his lips and said nothing more.
The clone is right.
It really regrets...
Now watching the big silly cat with few memories interacting with the little kitten, it wishes it could grab the big white cat and throw it away!
"Human emotions... Tsk, so troublesome."
