Chapter 154: Cat Catches Mouse Overtime

Rongzhen gave the poop scooper a look of admiration, crawled into his collar, turned around, and showed his cat head.

Oh, after a heavy rain, the air outside is so fresh, with blue sky, white clouds, rainbow bridge, and the lively crowds coming and going below. Everything looks so beautiful, and you can't tell that this is actually a world full of hidden dangers and thrills.

Zhao Simo drove her to the textile factory. They encountered the evening rush hour and were stuck in traffic, stopping and starting frequently. When they finally turned into the old city, it was already dark.

The textile factory is located on the edge of the old city, not far from Ji Yue.

Speaking of Ji Yue, I heard that Sister Zhou is still busy with this case recently. She has almost searched every family, company, and factory behind Ji Yue, and thoroughly investigated all people and things related to the weirdness, but she still can't find out who provided them with the catalyst for the weird weapon.

Ji Yueke had more than one diamond-shaped crystal that Rong Zhen had secretly swallowed before, but those who were secretly responsible for this matter could not explain their source, causing the progress of the case to come to a standstill.

When Zhao Simo brought her out, Sister Zhou was calling the team members to a meeting in the front office, saying that they wanted to brainstorm and analyze the case.

Judging from the way she was scratching her head, it was obvious that playing tricks to solve puzzles was not her strong point. She would probably rather fight with the monsters than interact with the smart people and solve the case in a roundabout way.

Rongzhen could do nothing to help.

After all, although cats are very curious, they are not good at tidying up balls of yarn. They will only make the balls more tangled.

With a beep, the car was locked. Zhao Simo's windbreaker drew a sharp arc in the damp and cold autumn wind. The soles of his leather shoes stepped on the bumpy and flooded asphalt road in the old city, and small flowers reflecting the shadows bloomed.

The sky was dark and the street lights came on one by one. The dim lights were comparable to those in front of the old buildings in the urban village.

The textile factory is located not far from the road. Although it is not very large, it employs several thousand people and affects the livelihoods of hundreds of families.

Therefore, Jiang Jun's wife understood why the factory leaders deliberately concealed the strange things happening in the factory just to be rated as excellent and get more support and orders next year.

But understanding does not mean acceptance. Those workers who disappeared one after another were so innocent. If the problem could be found out as soon as possible and the man-eating monster could be solved, would they not have disappeared?

Therefore, it was true that she exposed the matter in front of the people from the Abnormal Affairs Bureau mainly to buy a chance for her husband to survive. Secondly, she wanted to use their power to completely solve the problems concealed by the factory instead of continuing to fill it with human lives.

It's not that Xiao Wang and his friends didn't see through her plan, but for ordinary people encountering strange things, it's already very good to be able to do what she did. The next step is to leave it to professionals to do professional things.

As Zhao Simo pushed open the small door and stepped into the textile factory, Rong Zhen's ears couldn't help but perk up.

The cat instinctively sniffed the air and then sneezed several times.

"Ouch!" Such a strong smell of blood!

The key is that it is mixed with a very disgusting smell that cats hate.

Zhao Simo touched her cat head.

He also smelled it, but he had experienced this kind of situation too many times and was already accustomed to all kinds of strange smells, so he didn't feel surprised at all.

This was not mentioned in the investigation report sent by Xiao Wang before, and when he got the human skin before, he did not detect the bloody smell mixed with the stench of corpse on it.

Rongzhen couldn't help but wonder if this smell could only be smelled by monsters?

Zhao Simo was unable to answer her for the time being, and could only comfort her by tucking her deeper into his clothes.

Rongzhen kicked his feet, stepped on his thick chest, and stuck out his cat head again.

There might be an exciting mouse-catching scene soon, so how can we miss the cats watching? Maybe we'll need her help then.

Zhao Simo didn't stop her from peeking anymore. He walked through the factory yard very lightly and went straight to the most suspicious factory workshop in the report, which was also the largest area and the place with the most machines in the factory.

It is not impossible that the strange weapon that devours flesh and blood and produces human skin is hidden in it.

After all, it is a strange weapon, and it is suspected that there is a demon behind it. Since the other party dares to provoke the ace demon catcher of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau, his capable subordinates must have some face.

After confirming the location, Zhao Simo stuffed Rong Zhen into his clothes again, protecting his chest with one hand, and pushed open the door of the factory with the other hand and walked in.

The door swung open silently, revealing a hushed and solemn workshop. Thanks to Xiao Wang and his team's prior arrangements, no one was working the night shift inside. There was only an empty aisle and rows of textile machines on either side.

Those cold, dark iron lumps looked even more mysterious and unpredictable under the night light outside the window, like man-eating creatures.

I don’t know if it’s because of preconceived notions, but Rongzhen always feels a chill down his spine when he sees them through the gap in his shirt, and instinctively wants to stretch out his sharp claws and give them a hard claw.

In addition, the smell of blood was stronger than in the yard, and the smell became more pungent the further you walked into the workshop.

Ordinary people should not be able to smell this smell, otherwise they would not be able to carry out production as usual in such an environment. It is also possible that everything is normal in the workshop during the day, and it becomes like this at night?

But Xiao Wang and his team had investigated before and found that the factory often worked in two shifts, morning and evening, with people resting but the machines not stopping, and there were people in the workshop at night.

So those missing people all had accidents at night?

The cat turned into a detective and made random analysis. Suddenly, he saw a yellow and white spotted mouse popping out from a corner where his owner was about to pass by?

Is it a rat? It doesn't look like one, but that shifty look doesn't make it any different from a rat.

This is not the point. The point is that the chipmunk actually twisted its waist and tail and winked at her, as if it was trying its best to show off its plump body and lure her to catch it. It was simply against the will of heaven.

Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she was dazzled. She rubbed her eyes with her cat paws and looked again.

There was no such thing as a flirtatious mouse. It was obviously her eyes that were blurry.

Zhao Simo had already noticed something at this time. He no longer had the defensive attitude he had at the beginning. Not only did he take out the kitten to play with him, he also strolled around the workshop and was not in a hurry to go to the place where the abnormal fluctuations were discovered.

But if you look down at his route from the air, you will find that he has been deliberately going in circles. He seems to be close yet not close, but in fact he is gradually getting closer.

He is teaching the kitten how to catch mice.

Although this mouse is not the same as that mouse, it does not prevent him from teaching the kitten to learn a skill to catch prey through this actual combat.

After Rongzhen understood what he meant, her cat eyes lit up and she looked around intently.

The reason she insisted on coming here with her owner was to observe and learn this. Now her hard work has paid off, and she is finally going to start learning from him, wow.

Although the term "stealing" should be questioned, it is great to be able to learn something and there is no need to worry about the details.

After Zhao Simo turned around a few times, the distance between them was getting closer and closer. Even Rong Zhen noticed something unusual and could smell a stronger, fishy and disgusting smell.

The strange device that was surrounded by the two of them began to buzz restlessly without them noticing. The yellow and white spotted mouse accidentally entered Rong Zhen's sight again, trying every means to lure her into chasing it.

But it doesn't matter. Rongzhen is now a cat in appearance, but a human at heart. As her energy intake increases, her control over her instincts becomes stronger and stronger. Now she no longer has the urge to chase after a little mouse when she sees one.

Rather than chasing the little mouse, it is more interesting to follow the owner and learn how to catch the big rat hiding in the dark.

Erhuashu was unwilling to give up, and hid in Zhao Simo's blind spot several times in an attempt to seduce her.

Seeing how hard it tried, Rongzhen decided to help it.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!" The sound of a kitten complaining to its owner suddenly rang out in the workshop where you could hear a pin drop.

Dear, look, there is a little chipmunk here tempting me, go and catch it!

Zhao Simo stopped and suddenly turned to the secret corner where she was pointing with her cat paws.

Even if he couldn't understand what she was yelling, her intention was so obvious that even a fool could tell there was something fishy going on, let alone Zhao Simo who could understand it.

Yes, Zhao Simo has always been able to understand Rong Zhen's cat talk, but he just doesn't intend to point it out for the time being. Only if she really thinks that the emotions on her cat face are too exposed and he is too good at observing her words and expressions, can they communicate smoothly every time.

The chipmunk hiding in the corner and making small moves was just glanced at by Zhao Simo. It was as if its blood was suddenly suppressed, and all its body movements froze in an instant. Even though the gaze was then moved away and the person walked past this place, it still didn't dare to move.

"Ah?" "Don't catch it?" Rongzhen asked in confusion.

She thought the owner would kill it directly, but it turned out that it was over after just one look.

Zhao Simo didn't explain much, "Don't worry, we'll talk later."

The most urgent task is to capture the man-eating machine first, and then let the pawn lead them across the river to find the guy behind the scenes.

While he was talking, Zhao Simo had already completed the last circle and successfully touched a layer of invisible membrane. He took another step forward and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

In the infinitely deep and vast white space, there was a lone textile machine humming and producing cloth. It looked no different from the machines outside.

But where it is and what it is doing are the biggest differences and weirdness.

A normal textile machine swallows silk threads to produce cloth, but this one swallows flesh and blood to produce human skin cloth that can change a person's appearance and is difficult to detect!

The moment he came in, Zhao Simo covered the kitten's eyes.

However, Rong Zhen still saw the grotesque and bloody scene clearly. A cold and strange iron lump was swallowing the rolling body above it, and it was continuously spitting out pieces of human skin with a slippery and shiny appearance. Blood and sewage were flowing all around, and the stench was unbearable.

Rongzhen was deeply shocked by this scene and couldn't help but dry heave and vomit several times.

Fortunately, the food she had eaten for dinner had been digested on the way here, otherwise she would most likely vomit all over Zhao Simo.

Zhao Simo's fingers were still tightly covering her eyes. Seeing her reaction so big, he frowned slightly and threw something at the strange loom.

It was a round, button-like object that hung in the air after falling onto the strange loom. Regardless of the violent buzzing and shaking struggle of the strange machine below, a prison cover made of metal wire popped out, completely covering the target object from top to bottom, and then released high voltage electricity.
