Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The Fallen Cat and the Refreshing Dazai...

How did things develop to this point?

Natsume Soseki couldn't help but rack his brain while running wildly through various alleys.

He originally just wanted to say hello to the new leader and leave, but as soon as he saw him, the young man found out that he was not only a "fake cat", but also tried hard to catch him.

Even if I'm a fake cat, it won't bother her at all!

When they met, he was even five meters away from her!

Natsume Soseki dodged the huge nets that suddenly attacked from all sides while running towards the crowded streets. The more complicated the place, the more hidden it was.

However, he also had a preliminary understanding of the terrifying nature of Shen Shang Qianyi.

In the past quarter of an hour, he discovered that Kamikami Chiyo had more than one supernatural power.

In addition to the ability to see the truth and the ability in space that were displayed before him at the beginning, Kamikami Chiyo can also create various inanimate objects out of nothing to stop him.

Not only that, the little girl moved very fast, and her expression was cold as she chased him, which formed a sharp contrast with her lively language along the way.

At least three special abilities...

But is this possible?

As we all know, humans can only possess one special ability. Shen Shangqiandai is so special. Could it be that...

Natsume Soseki once again used the visual difference of the uneven heights of the walls to avoid being peeped at from behind. He squatted at the door of the convenience store and licked his fur unconsciously. His serious expression made the children passing by stop and stare at him.

"It seems that after I go back, I should go and check in Yokohama to see if there are any human experiments left over from the war." Natsume Soseki thought with some heaviness.

There was silence all around, and no one would have thought that the calico cat squatting under the tree with a sleepy face was actually thinking about such a profound topic.

"Wow, what a cute little kitten! I have some dried fish here. Would you like to try some?" A crisp voice came, fully expressing the love for the cat.

Dried fish...

After running for so long, he was a little tired. Now he couldn't see the conspicuous red hair. Maybe he gave up because he couldn't catch himself?

Looking at the black-haired little girl dressed as a junior high school student and the high-quality dried fish in her hand, the calico cat was a little tempted.

How about he eat some dried fish first?

"Hehehe, I caught you!" The black-haired middle school girl looked at the calico cat that had let down its guard and was lying on the ground, kneading and acting pretentiously, and a smile like a child crying at night appeared on her face. "You pervert, pretending to be a male calico cat and deceiving a cute female middle school girl here!"

!!!

Natsume Soseki shook his body subconsciously, looked up, and was shocked to find that the little girl with black hair and black eyes in a school uniform had turned into the little leader he was supposed to have gotten rid of after the mist dissipated.

The fourth ability...

[Miracle Mask: A pitch-black mask adorned with white feathers. Awarded for completing a special mission—the accomplice of the other. It can create a gorgeous, flawless disguise almost perfectly, as the user wishes. Uses: 4/5]

The player jokingly took off his mask and put it back in his backpack, then grabbed the calico cat by the deadly scruff of the neck and lifted it up, "There's no way you can escape now... It's so heavy!"

“It’s actually solid!”

Under the accusing gaze of the fat cat, the player remained calm and used his special ability to conjure a thick rope to tie him up. Not only that, he also dug a big hole next to the tree.

Finally, she happily ate ten dried fish in front of him.

[Task rewards have been distributed to players' backpacks]

Tie him up and throw him into a pit just to eat ten dried fish in front of him?

Natsume Soseki looked at Kamikami Chiyo who was sitting in a daze after eating dried fish, and felt somewhat fortunate that he was a kitten now. If he were in human form now, his expression would probably be twitching.

But it turns out that a player can never be left too idle.

Why is this big fat cat still a cat? Shouldn't it be a human now?

After sitting for a long time without triggering any other tasks, the player, holding a piece of wild grass in his mouth, looked at the pile of unnecessary "junk items" in his backpack, and an evil idea came to his mind.

After taking out various tools and writing and drawing for a while, the player clapped his hands and said to the well-behaved cat, "Even though you like to deceive the lovely middle school students, as long as you don't do anything else terrible, I will let you go!"

"Next time, you won't be so lucky." After saying that, the player placed the wooden board next to the pit, took a screenshot, and left happily.

Her schedule today is also very full!

After waiting for a long time and making sure that Kamijou Chiyo had gone far away, Natsume Soseki changed back into human form and looked curiously at the upright wooden board. There were several large characters clearly written on it -

"Big Fat Cat (Lost Balls Version) Lost His Footing!"

Natsume Soseki: "..."

Not only that, there was an extremely sophisticated small surveillance camera hidden on the black writing - he could be sure that his entire figure was captured in the camera.

This kind of thing doesn't exist on the market! Even the official ones are in short supply, otherwise he wouldn't have missed it right away. Why would Shen Shang Qianyi have it?

Natsume Soseki, who had suffered so much today, said: "..."

Young people should not be underestimated.

The player who was expanding her map step by step took back the object in her hand. Thinking of the uncle with a mustache she just saw on the screen, she wanted to laugh.

Even if you stayed in the pit for nearly an hour before coming out, wouldn't the players still catch your little flaw?

Since knowing how intelligent the NPCs in this game are, players will no longer regard these NPCs as the mentally retarded NPCs in previous games.

You must be thorough in order to trigger more tasks!

[You have gained enlightenment through your interactions with NPCs, and your intelligence has improved.]

"hiss----"

My parents’ IQ! My parents’ IQ!

The player looked at his intelligence which suddenly soared to 65, and sincerely thanked the man with the mustache.

If they meet again next time, she will definitely not take action the first time!

She will give him a chance to explain!

The player stopped and looked up at the house with the words "Hot Spring Hotel" written on it, and his eyes twitched.

How can there be any income if even the name is so perfunctory?

However, this is not the main point of the players' coming here today. The players' main task today is to clean up the chaotic forces around that will affect the travel and consumption of ordinary people.

"Are you the only ones here?"

The ordinary people who originally gathered in groups of two or three had already developed a strong ability to seek benefits and avoid harm through day-to-day training, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The player swung the golden sword and stood in the center of the intersection. She was surrounded by dense red dots, and NPCs with strange looks surrounded her with various weapons.

"Little girl, if you know what's good for you, put down your weapons and have some fun with us. We promise not to harm your life!" The man spoke with his tongue dancing like a poisonous snake peeping secretly.

"Hmph, how arrogant!" The player laughed instead of getting angry. "You big bastards, I'm going to beat you into little biscuits!"

"Come on, I'm in a hurry today!" said the player, kicking a bald strong man, starting a multi-on-one melee.

Soon, the players piled up the unconscious NPCs one by one. It really looked like a stack of cookies, but in human form.

"It's a bit like the Zhujingguan."

"What is the Jingguan?"

"Well, it's a very dangerous thing anyway."

The player turned her head nonchalantly. She hadn't finished killing the monsters yet and was about to stab the newcomer with a sword when she saw the familiar bandaged handsome boy and the future red-haired young man of the great writer whom she had lured in yesterday.

It turns out that the only yellow and green dots among the bunch of red dots are them.

"It's the Great Teacher and Red Hair, long time no see!" The player sheathed his sword, arranged the last 'corpse', and happily took a screenshot. "Red Hair, is this your first day at work today? How did you sleep last night?"

"Long time no see, Boss." The red-haired young man wore a long brown windbreaker, his expression as calm as ever. "I slept well. The staff dormitory of the Port Mafia is very good, more than enough for one person."

"Oh, that's great. I'll come visit you when the time comes." The player said happily. Maybe she could trigger some similar visiting tasks.

"Of course, it's my honor."

"What? Didn't we just see each other yesterday?" Dazai Osamu hesitated, "Odasaku, isn't this the time to complain?"

"Also, why are you guys chatting like that without caring about anyone else? There's someone else here!"

"It's like a long time since we last met," the player dragged the two tall men to a nearby empty table and sat down. He stuffed a piece of sushi into the teacher's hand and brought a plate of hell spicy curry to the red-haired man.

"The Great Sensei is still young and needs more practice!"

"Besides Red Hair-kun and I, there's only one other bandage spirit here," the player said honestly, looking Dazai Osamu up and down. "And it's a wet bandage spirit with only one eye."

"Puff." Oda Sakunosuke swallowed a mouthful of curry and said word by word, "I think I should say this now."

"Odasaku, don't pronounce that interjection so clearly." Dazai Osamu pouted. "Who did you learn that from?"

"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you, Great Teacher." The guilty player looked at Dazai Osamu, who seemed strangely refreshed today, and quickly changed the subject. "This place is quite far from the port building. What on earth are you doing here at this hour?"

"We're here to inspect this hot spring hotel."

"Of course I'm here to soak in the hot springs!"

The two people, who obviously did not see eye to eye, looked at each other and said again -

"We're here to take a hot spring bath."

"Of course we're here to check out the hot spring hotel!"

Player: “…”

Osamu Dazai: "..."

Oda Sakunosuke: “…”

The world suddenly fell silent.

The author has something to say:

----------------------

The personality of Odasaku in the story is a little different because of some interactions with our Chiyo-chan, which changed him and made him more open (?).

The reason why Dazai feels so refreshed is that he currently has a few people he’s interested in, so he’s a little more curious about the outside world. (covering his face)

If it's ooc, it's my fault (run away with the pot lid!)
