"Nothing seems to have changed? Has he not made a move yet?"
Guo Sheng, Liu Ya, and Bai Tianxiong walked side by side on the empty ancient street. Liu Ya, who couldn't keep her mouth shut, kept talking.
Since Xia Tianqiong left, three more rounds of the game have been played, and this is now the eighth round.
As before, the mice hid and the cats caught them; there was no mass slaughter of the cat-people.
"Is he trying to fool us?"
Liu Ya originally had a good impression of Xia Tianqiong and was eager to bring him into the Management Bureau, but under these circumstances, he still concealed some information, which made Liu Ya particularly dissatisfied.
Guo Sheng stared at the pair of giant cat eyes in the sky, his expression remaining solemn. "Probably not. He has no reason to fool people with something like this. He's probably trying to hunt down the cat people."
Bai Tianxiong chimed in, "The area shrouded in the Ghost Domain is comparable to a small town, with crisscrossing streets and numerous courtyards."
Tens of thousands of people are scattered everywhere, but only one or two thousand are cat people. It's impossible for him to find too many cat people in one game.
"you're right!"
Liu Ya nodded quickly, feeling a sense of shared hatred for the enemy. "He's only one person. Even if all the cat people stood in front of him and let him kill them, he might not be able to kill them all."
If he were willing to tell us the truth, he might be able to accomplish it with our help. For now, let's just watch quietly as he hunts down the cat-people and deals with the cat demons.
Bai Tianxiong smiled faintly, "When he can't do it, he'll probably come to us for help."
The three chatted and laughed as they walked along the ancient-style street. What was a death game for others was safe for them as long as they didn't encounter the cat demon.
As we passed through a small alley, six or seven rat-men suddenly darted out.
They were menacing, each holding a kitchen knife, a wooden stick, or something like a table leg or chair leg.
“Kill the damn cat-man.”
Without a word, these rat-men charged forward, shouting, and attacked.
Judging from his skill level, it seems this isn't his first time.
"Leave it to me."
Before Guo Sheng and Liu Ya could make a move, Bai Tianxiong preemptively struck.
A pale white figure emerged from his body; it had long hair and looked like a female ghost.
The female ghost, like a wisp of green smoke, swiftly drifted into the body of a male rat-man.
The next second, the male ratman's eyes turned white, and his dark pupils seemed to disappear.
Immediately afterwards, he threw down the tools in his hand, grabbed his head with both hands, and twisted it forcefully.
Click!
With a cracking sound, his head turned 180 degrees, and he died instantly.
The whole process took only a second or two. The other ratmen, who had been so aggressive, suddenly froze on the spot, staring in astonishment at the slowly falling corpse.
"A ghost!"
Someone cried out in alarm and scattered in all directions.
But they were no match for the flying female ghost, and were caught one by one and killed on the spot.
Guo Sheng looked at the corpses and suddenly felt something was amiss.
These rat-men dared to attack the cat-men, and it was an organized and premeditated attack.
Something seems off!
"Leave one alive."
At his request, Bai Tianxiong allowed the female ghost to capture a live rat-man.
"Section Chief Guo, what would you like to ask?"
"Ask them why they attacked us."
The captured rat-man was a young man in his early twenties, lying on the ground, trembling all over, terrified by the female ghost.
Bai Tianxiong crouched down and asked him, "Why did you ambush us?"
"Please, please don't kill me! I had no choice!"
The young man, after regaining his senses, begged for mercy with a mournful face.
Bai Tianxiong glared coldly at the young man, "Answer my question, or you'll die right now."
"We've heard that only cat people can survive to the end, and that killing a cat person will turn you into a cat person."
"Who told you that?"
"I don't know, all the ratmen are spreading this message."
Bai Tianxiong looked up and exchanged a glance with Guo Sheng, both of them having their own guesses.
This is very likely a message that Xia Tianqiong leaked.
"When the ratmen learn that killing catmen will turn them into catmen, most ratmen will definitely kill catmen in order to survive, thus reducing the number of catmen."
Liu Ya realized the logic was flawed at this point: "The ratman who killed the catman will turn into a catman in the next round, and the total number of catmen will remain almost unchanged, so there's no point in him doing that!"
Bai Tianxiong looked at his cat paws, then at the young man's rat paws, and thought of a possibility.
"The cat-men have long and sharp claws. If the rat-men want to kill the cat-men, they can only do so by working together. This will cause some cat-men to be unable to catch the rat-men and will eventually be killed by the power of the rules."
"If he only has these petty tricks, he is destined to fail."
Guo Sheng shook his head slightly, his expression full of regret, "Doing this can indeed slowly reduce the number of cat people, but it is impossible to reduce it to less than one hundred in the end."
The game of cat and mouse continued, round after round.
Guo Sheng's words were confirmed: the number of cat people decreased slowly, while the number of rat people decreased rapidly.
If this continues, the cat people and rat people will keep fighting and exhausting each other, and eventually not many people will be able to survive.
Until the fifteenth game, some special circumstances occurred.
Guo Sheng and his two companions were invited by other cat people to form a team. They initially refused, but when they heard that the other party had already gathered hundreds of cat people, they immediately sensed something was amiss.
The three followed to the settlement and found that nearly a thousand cat people had gathered together, discussing how to attack a certain rat people settlement.
"I know what he's going to do!"
Guo Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had realized Xia Tianqiong's purpose.
Liu Ya and Bai Tianxiong immediately understood.
A courtyard.
