637 · Haining Cat Island (47)

Bai Jinshu felt that the perspective of the pinhole camera shook, and it was obvious that the person on the other end of the camera was also surprised for a moment because of seeing the cat's head.

But it was only a moment of surprise.

After entering this unknown space for so many days, everyone knew that the rules here were related to cats. In addition, this operation was not a normal operation, and the people participating in the operation were asked whether they brought "things". This "thing" was not a normal surgical instrument.

But it was still a bit surprising that a cat came directly in.

Bai Jinshu felt his wrist vibrate slightly a few times, and when he looked up, Guan Hongyan had already started to urge him: [Have you sneaked in? What's going on inside? ]

[Lu Changfeng: Brother Yun Guang and I sneaked into the operating room, and we found that the operating cart they pushed in was a cat.]

[A cat?] Guan Hongyan squatted on the roadside and typed with interest, [I will report again if you explore further.]

In fact, to be more precise, it was not just one cat. As soon as Lu Changfeng said this, another one jumped down from the operating cart. In a short while, several cats appeared in the operating room.

【Sister Guan,】Lu Changfeng is very obedient,【there are several cats.】

Several cats seemed to have a very clear goal. After jumping off the car, they were not curious about the surroundings at all. They looked around and walked straight towards the child tied to the hospital bed.

From the images transmitted by the pinhole camera, it can be seen that as the cats jumped off the cart one by one, the two nurses and doctors who had just pushed the cart in began to chat while taking off their surgical caps. However, before Bai Jinshu could carefully observe what they were talking about, the little boy who had been very quiet in the room just now began to struggle violently.

Lu Changfeng quickly broadcast live in the group: [The little boy tied to the bed struggled hard. ]

The little boy had been tied up with restraints by the two nurses who pushed him in. Normally, the only part of his body that could move freely was his neck. But as the cat got closer and closer to him, his left hand suddenly struggled and broke free from the restraints.

Unfortunately, this struggle was of no avail.

As if they had expected that he would break free from the restraints, the nurse pushed him into the operating room and placed the operating bed with the little boy tied to it in the middle of a large open space. After his left hand broke free from the restraints, he waved it wildly in the air for a few times, but he couldn't find anything that could be used as a weapon or to gain leverage.

The cat also seemed to know that he would struggle.

In the live broadcast room, the unexpected incident that would have made the picture a mess did not have any surprise effect. The nurses and cats in the operating room seemed to have anticipated it. The leading cat jumped up and landed on the hand of the little boy that had broken free from the restraints. The nurses seemed to be accustomed to it and stepped back a few steps to leave them enough space.

Strangely enough, the moment the cat fell on the little boy's left hand, the little boy who had been struggling violently just now stopped, and the other cats found an opportunity and rushed over as well.

[As soon as the cats came out, the little boy started to struggle and even broke free from the restraints on his left hand. Then a cat jumped onto the boy's hand and he stopped struggling. Then the cats behind him followed suit.] While observing the situation in the field, Lu Changfeng quickly broadcast the process in the group in the simplest language.

The scene was far from as simple as Lu Changfeng said. Except for the first cat that jumped up, the others seemed to have nowhere to stand. They turned around on the ground and looked around for a long time before jumping onto the bed one after another.

But they did not jump directly onto the little boy like the first one. Instead, they landed on the bed at a certain distance from the little boy.

Fortunately, the operating bed was large enough to provide space for the cats to stay.

After a brief confrontation, the first cat that jumped onto the little boy's hand patted it down, as if it were some kind of strange command, and following his movement, the remaining cats also began to scratch and pat the child lying on the bed.

To say it was "scratching and slapping" isn't actually accurate enough.

Not to mention the exploration team members, the comments in the live broadcast room also saw the clues:

【Is this a fight? 】

[It seems that this was not hit? 】

[This is tickling the air. ]

[It seems like he is really punching the air. ]

In other words, what they were hitting was not the air, but a "thing" that they could not see.

…

By the time Yun Guang left the operating room with the pinhole camera, dozens of discussions about the latest emergencies had already taken place in the temporary group chat.

[Guan Hongyan: So let's sort it out. There are two clues at present. First, there may be a strange monster on Haining Island that is invisible to humans. The behavior of this monster is currently unknown, but it once possessed a little boy. At present, it seems that only the cats on the island can drive this monster away. ]

【Du Zhongsheng: We can tentatively determine that this monster's ability is possession.】

[Guan Hongyan: Second, there may be some kind of rule on Haining Island that can make people who leave here lose their memories of the anomalies here. After leaving Haining Island and returning, it will take several months to remember.]

[Du Zhongsheng: Currently, only the earliest vloggers can be used as a reference, so the time of "several months" may not be accurate. ]

[Guan Hongyan: Third, the cats on Haining Island can communicate with some humans, and humans should know some secrets about cats and do not want these secrets to be spread.]

[Du Zhongsheng: From the perspective of the cat, humans are likely to be in opposition to the monsters that appear in the clues. ]

After the two of them sorted out the current situation, Guan Hongyan squatted under the lamp on the roadside and chewed the lollipop in her mouth and thought for a while: [Then I think, based on these two clues, we can connect and extend our previous content. For example, the cats on this island have certain abnormalities and can grow larger or smaller. This abnormality may come from the cats themselves, or it may be due to the possession of the monster in the first item. ]

【Du Zhongsheng: According to body shape?】

【Guan Hongyan: There is also difficulty in taking action. 】

For monsters that use possession as their primary means, the degree of control they have over the possessed creature is mostly determined by the size of the possessed creature.

Generally speaking, the smaller the object and the simpler the logic of its actions, the easier it is to control after possessing it. For example, children are definitely easier than adults, small animals are definitely easier than large animals, and snakes are definitely easier than centipedes.

The little boy was obviously possessed, as can be seen from his stiff movements. It seemed too "difficult" for this creature to possess a child.

So on the island, cats are one of the creatures that are smaller than children and have simpler action logic.

【Guan Hongyan: Wait, that’s not right either.】

She bit the lollipop stick in her mouth: [It’s a bit wrong to say that. Judging from this incident, cats should be the nemesis of this kind of creature. ]

Otherwise, the cat wouldn't have come and punched the air, and the little boy would have been fine.

That being said, it seems that this creature would not possess cats.

Does that mean we have to go back to the original starting point and the cats on Haining Island are not actually cats?

[Oh, can Yun Guang do this kind of brain-stimulating stuff?] She chewed the lollipop for a long time, jumped up from the ground and said speechlessly, [Where is Yun Guang?]

It was at this time that Yun Guang walked out of the operating room.

[Wait a minute, I just came out of the operating room, I'll take a look.] He sent a message in the group chat and was about to look through the chat history.

[Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute,] Guan Hongyan hurriedly called him, [Is the little boy in the operating room okay? ]

[Okay,] Yun Guang replied, [the cats beat him for a while, and he passed out. He has been pushed out by the nurse now.]

Probably in order to disguise it as a real operation, after the little boy fell into coma again, the nurses did not push him out directly. Instead, they waited for more than an hour before putting on the surgical equipment again and pushing him out through the door.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to open the door, Yun Guang and Lu Changfeng in the operating room were able to leave the room.

[Yun Guang: Chang Feng and I are going to follow the nurse who brought the cat to take a look.]

The cats that entered the operating room were brought by a girl named "Xiaohui". Maybe we can find some clues by following her.

【Guan Hongyan: Okay, then you go first, and we will try out the rules here. 】

Except for the last one, they can fill in all the current clues and try to see if they can pass.

[Fang Xiang: Then let's try it? There is a certain rule on Haining Cat Island. After leaving here, you will lose your memories related to cats... Is it okay to write this? ]

【Guan Hongyan:? 】

Guan Hongyan twitched her lips: [What kind of colloquial term is this? Can't it be more standard? ]

As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of this. Besides the fact that they were four new people, they didn't know the common terms in the foundation rules if they were asked to write something more written.

[Guan Hongyan: On Lu Changfeng... Oh, I forgot about the rice noodle rolls. I don't have time to check the temporary group chat right now, so I'll organize my words...]

[Guan Hongyan: There is an unknown field in this unknown space. After leaving the field, you will lose the memory related to the rules. After returning to the field, the memory will slowly recover.]

After a few seconds, Yu Changlin excitedly posted in the temporary group chat: [It’s passed! But there is an underline under the word “slowly”, what is this, Sister Guan? ]

【Du Zhongsheng: This one didn’t pass. 】

【Yu Changlin: Huh?】

[I passed half of it, not completely failed,] Guan Hongyan touched his chin, [This kind of need for additional explanation of the meaning of the terms basically means that there is no problem with the overall rules, but only the details that we did not mention need to be supplemented.]

However, they are not sure how long it will take to recover their memories after returning.

【Guan Hongyan: Why don’t you try writing for three months?】

This is the time it took for the vlog blogger who first made Haining Cat Island popular to go from being extremely popular to stopping updating.

【Nursery Rhyme: No.】

[That’s fine, then] Guan Hongyan replied nonchalantly, [It’s basically correct anyway, if the time is too long we can just find it out by colliding with the database.]

This kind of content with exact numbers is the most convenient.

Now that the second item is confirmed to be generally correct, you can start trying to fill in the other items.

Guan Hongyan said in the group that he would try the first rule, and Bai Jinshu clicked on the rule filling page and started to try the third rule.

[In this space, the natives can communicate with cats in an unknown space...]

He organized his words and filled in the third item.

The page for filling in the rules flashed, and after a moment, the rule he had just filled in reappeared on the screen.

As this rule reappeared, the ocelot's eyes paused, and his sight focused on a certain point on the screen——

[In this space, natives can communicate with cats in the unknown space...] In this rule, the word [cat] is underlined.

【Cat】needs annotation.
