Rong Zhen died unexpectedly and was bound to a small, newly-released system. In their rookie phase, the person and the system couldn't snag any good missions, so they could only go to novel wor...
Chapter 142 The baby gets turned into a kitten
At the end of the corridor there is an unremarkable wall.
If an ordinary person encountered this dead end, they would probably return empty-handed or go somewhere else and would not pay attention to this dead end.
But Rong Zhen is no longer an ordinary person. Her sense of smell has become very sharp during the mutation, like an evolved dog's nose. With just a light sniff, she can smell the scent of energy emanating from the wall.
Like a freshly baked cake, very sweet, tempting and pure.
Rongzhen instinctively sucked his saliva, his cat teeth were exposed uncontrollably, and his pupils shrank into a line.
Found it!
It turns out the distance is so close, no wonder it is so tempting to her.
Is Ji Yue trying to hide the truth under the lamp?
Hehe, she will let them know what it means to lose more than you gain.
Rong Zhen sniffed it intoxicatedly, and following the direction of the energy, he groped along the wall bit by bit, all the way to the bathroom in the corner next to him.
Rongzhen: ...I found it by accident.
The essence of energy wafts out from the utility room in the corner of the bathroom where cleaning tools are placed.
There must be a mystery in it.
She went in and tinkered with it for a while, and determined that the exact location was the vent on the top of the utility room.
The path she had just groped her way through was most likely the ventilation duct.
Since it escaped here through the ventilation duct, the ventilation duct must be connected to the place where the treasure is hidden. She entered it and searched along the duct, believing that she would not find it.
After the ventilation duct was opened, the space inside was not large. Rong Zhen squeezed himself in with all his strength, then crawled forward, sniffing the pure scent of energy and moving himself with difficulty.
Fortunately, we arrived there quickly. After climbing only about ten meters, we could clearly smell the tempting smell coming from the entrance of a passage.
Rongzhen almost couldn't control herself and drooled on the spot.
She swallowed her saliva, suppressed her instinctive impulse, took out her cell phone and sent two messages in succession.
One message was sent to Sister Zhou: "Ji Yue is hiding and killing people, help, help, help!"
One message was sent to Sister Yao: "Ji Yue is indeed in big trouble. If he can't contact me later, it must be related to them!"
After finishing, he carefully removed the cover of the passage and slid down silently. His head and face were covered with dust, just like a little cat.
But when she saw the carefully placed diamond-shaped crystals in the room, she told herself that all the hard work was worth it.
This baby looks very good and tempting.
The moment she saw it, Rong Zhen's cat instinct automatically took over her mind. By the time she reacted, she had already stuffed the diamond-shaped crystal into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. It felt as if a warm current was flowing through her chest and abdomen, and she felt warm and comfortable.
Rongzhen: !!
It seems that cats’ instincts are not all good. What if something goes wrong if they act so rashly?
But now that I have swallowed it, I should quickly remove all traces and leave.
The diamond crystal was originally placed on the diamond pillar in the middle. A few meters away, there was a circle of new printing machines against the wall. Several of them were emitting strange energy fluctuations and were humming.
It turns out that they used this method to catalyze the strange printing press!
Now that she has taken the treasure away, the other party will definitely not let it go and will definitely do their best to track down the thief before the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs investigates.
She might as well set them on fire again to erase all traces of her presence.
What she didn't know was that the moment the diamond crystal left the diamond pillar, a specific alarm placed somewhere was already deafening.
The security team on standby at all times is on the way, and the relevant personnel who received the emergency notice are also quickly surrounding this place.
Rong Zhen knew nothing about this, but she could predict that the baby was gone and Ji Yue would not have been unaware of it. Before the noise around her ears became louder, she successfully ignited the strange printing machines that were almost completed, took off her coat, wiped off the dust that fell when she landed, and returned to the ventilation duct.
The choking smoke poured in from the pipe, pinching her from both ends and making it impossible for her to open her eyes.
It was a mistake and he shot himself in the foot.
The distance of ten meters seemed infinitely long, and it felt like I had been moving for a long time but still hadn't arrived. The noise outside was getting louder and louder, but it seemed to be ringing in my ears.
Amidst the smoke and fire, she vaguely heard someone breaking into the room she had just entered and came out of. The person rushed into the sea of fire and shouted that something was missing and told her to go find it quickly.
At the same time, many people crowded into the bathroom at the other end of the corridor. The panicked employees found this place, wet their clothes to protect their mouths and noses, and either hid here or rushed out. It was noisy and chaotic.
Rongzhen wanted to get out quickly and blend in with them to find a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, the mind and the body are out of sync. No matter how much or how well you think, there is nothing you can do if your body cannot move.
Yes, she was stuck in the middle of the ventilation duct and couldn't move. Her chest and abdomen, which had just been warm and comfortable, were now burning as if she was holding a hot stone, as if it was going to melt and burn her whole body.
In her daze, she didn't realize that she was undergoing tremendous changes. Her body turned red, expanded and shrank, her skin fell off layer by layer, and her hair grew wildly, finally completing the transformation from a human to a large cat.
Perhaps realizing that the current space was too narrow to be suitable for a cat of its size, the large cat quickly shrank and eventually became a palm-sized kitten.
"Meow..." the kitten moaned weakly.
After finally regaining consciousness, Rong Zhen had no time to be shocked by the changes in himself, nor did he have time to think about anything else. Relying on his sense of crisis, he immediately struggled to climb out of the crowded ventilation duct.
The kitten's body is smaller than that of a human, so it is more convenient for her to move around in there. She quickly got out of the predicament and left.
The next moment after she left, flames rushed into the ventilation duct from the passage, burning all the clothes she left behind and the remains of her transformation.
Rongzhen looked back and saw that she had no more worries and escaped from here with peace of mind.
The chaos outside had not yet subsided, and the fire had even spread wider and more fiercely. It was obvious that someone was taking advantage of the situation to expand the fire. Rong Zhen just happened to give them a head start and provided them with a suitable opportunity.
Look at those old employees running around in a hurry, but actually none of them are really putting out the fire. Instead, they set other rooms on fire while running.
Others took the opportunity to run away.
Rongzhen ran among them along the wall, but soon he was caught by the guards who surrounded him.
A high electric fence had been erected around them, and sticks flashing with electric sparks were displayed. Security personnel stood in front of the fence and shouted, "Everyone stop and stand still. Anyone who runs without permission will bear the consequences!"
Those who refused to listen were immediately shocked with electric batons. They instantly began shaking like they had Parkinson's disease and fell to the ground, their life or death unknown.
Should I fight to the death to gain a glimmer of hope for freedom, or should I be obedient and continue to live in frustration?
Everyone who ran out was weighing things rapidly in their minds. Some stopped and raised their hands, while others continued to rush in the direction they had chosen.
The former was beaten up on the spot, but he still survived.
When the latter crashed into the power grid, it was burned to charcoal by the high voltage electricity flowing through it, and it didn't even have time to let out a scream.
The rest of the people were shocked after seeing this, and Rong Zhen was also trembling with fear. Looking at the density of the electric net, she probably couldn't get out because of her small size.
Looking at the distance, they were afraid that a similar encirclement had already been set up and was waiting for them.
She couldn't let herself fall into the trap.
But judging from the situation, if she fails to take the opportunity to escape this time, it will be difficult for the other party to not follow the clues and trace it back to her.
She couldn't guarantee that what she did would leave no trace, so it would be better for her to find a way to leave now.
As time went by, the defense became tighter and tighter. Seeing that there was no chance to find a loophole, Rong Zhen couldn't help but get anxious. He hid in the bushes and stared at the guards.
Suddenly, she noticed one of the older men. When he came over for inspection and passed by her, she quickly jumped onto his feet and hid in the empty trouser legs.
The guard paused for a moment and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
After the inspection, he went to tell his colleagues, "I've had too much dinner. I'll go get some water nearby."
The colleague didn't think much of it and waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, "Hurry up and come back soon. The boss specifically told us not to slack off and leave for too long this time."
The old guard said "OK" with a smile, then turned and walked away with a gloomy face. He walked to a hidden gap in the electric fence. He stopped, bent down, grabbed the little thing from his trouser leg, and said with narrowed eyes, "Where did you come from, little brat, looking for death on your grandfather?"
"Grandpa, I'm Nannan's friend!" Rongzhen quickly added his identity to establish a relationship.
From the moment she recognized him as Wei Yi, she knew that he was probably the friend of her husband who worked as a security guard here as the old lady of Nannan's family had mentioned.
The ready-made strange pulse relationship would be a waste if not used, it can save lives.
The old guard loosened his grip.
Rong Zhen quickly continued, "I was asked by her old lady to come here to work and look for her daughter. I didn't expect that I couldn't find her, and the work was so dangerous. I'm so scared that I can't change back. I'd like to trouble you to take me out for a while, okay?"
This place is full of traps and this little kitten that suddenly appeared is very dangerous. If she is caught accidentally, she may be exposed.
As for whether this strange security guard would betray her...
Rongzhen admitted that there was an element of gambling. If she still couldn't get the other party to help her with her Nannan's family connections, then she would cry in front of him.
I believe that an old man who is on good terms with Nannan’s family and loves Nannan would not watch a kitten die, right?
The old man retracted his grip and pinched her back, then grabbed one of her front legs and swung her around, saying, "Do you think I'm a fool? Looking at the situation now, you've probably stolen something you shouldn't have. If you want my help, I'll split it in half when we meet!"
Rongzhen:!!!
It’s true that old people become more cunning, and even the cunning old man is not easy to fool.
There is no way. The situation is stronger than people, and life is the most important thing.
So she immediately started retching, vomiting out small pieces of undigested crystals like a hairball.
The old man was silent, speechless, staring at the saliva-stained leftovers, and didn't even want to bend down to pick them up.
Rong Zhen kept urging him, "Hurry up and pick it up and swallow it! I doubt they have a way to detect this thing. Maybe if it's been exposed outside for too long, they'll follow the signal and find it."
The old man picked up the crystal fragments with disgust and stuffed them into his arms, then threw the kitten away.
I saw a parabola across the night sky, passing through the small gap in the electric fence above, and splashing into the pool outside.
"What's that noise?" The security guard had already arrived here on patrol and just happened to hear the sudden noise.
The old man pretended to tie his belt and pointed to the lotus pond not far away. He said, "Hey, a stray kitten sneaked over there to catch some fish."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young kitten really jumped onto the shore of the pond with a fish in its mouth. It flapped the water off its fur and ran away.
The patrol and security stopped, and the old man followed him back.
Rongzhen ran away and spat out the fishy little fish, and went to look for her little Huang according to the map location she remembered.
It would be impossible for her to escape quickly relying solely on her four little pads, so Xiao Huang had to take action.
Xiao Huang was very smart. As early as when the guards started to pull the electric fence, he found an opportunity and sneaked out of the parking area. He was wandering around outside looking for her furtively.
The two happened to meet halfway and joined forces smoothly.
Although Rongzhen changed her form, Xiao Huang recognized her not by her appearance, but by her aura.
So Xiao Huang accepted her transformation into a kitten very naturally, and drove home with her at full speed.
On the contrary, Rongzhen herself had not adapted yet. Sitting in the car, she still maintained the habit of humans riding in a car, with her front legs resting on the front of the car and her hind legs stepping on the seat cushion. The whole cat stood there, stretched straight, ensuring that every wet hair could be blown by the night wind.
Fortunately, Xiao Huang is not big, otherwise she wouldn't be able to reach the handlebars.
The night was dark, the autumn wind was howling, and a black business car was driving quickly on the quiet street. In the car were Sister Zhou and others who had received the news and were heading to the suburbs.
They sat in the car with serious faces, discussing the accuracy of the news.
"Sister Zhou, if the information is inaccurate, it wouldn't be a big deal if we made a wasted trip. The real trouble would be if the other teams caught hold of this and started a fight."
"Don't worry, the girl who contacted me is very honest. She wouldn't send me a message like that unless it was absolutely necessary."
"Looking at the content, I hope it's fake, otherwise it might be another earth-shattering tragedy."
"Ji Yue has always had a good reputation, but I didn't expect..."
Suddenly, something jumped out of the car window, interrupting the conversation of several people.
Everyone looked at each other, and one of them asked uncertainly, "Did something just fly towards us?"
