Many spirits roam the mountain, making the atmosphere somewhat eerie.
“You’re right, I should order takeout. It would take me a long time to go buy it myself,” Cat said as she placed the order.
Half an hour later, the deliveryman rode his motorcycle along the quiet mountain road, his phone continuously providing navigation.
He felt uneasy; countless ghost stories had already popped into his head along the way. How did he end up taking on such an order?
Who would order takeout in a place like this in the middle of the night?!
As I walked, the road suddenly ended!
However, the navigation still requires us to go several hundred meters ahead.
The delivery guy came down with the food container, thought about his perfect attendance record and the 100 yuan tip that came with the order, and decided to go for it on foot!
After a while, he vaguely saw flames flickering in front of him, but he didn't know what they were.
The surroundings were eerie and gloomy, and he was almost scared to death!
A dark figure suddenly walked towards him, with those flickering little lights behind him. Could it be will-o'-the-wisps?
His legs were trembling and he was sweating profusely, but he still mustered up the courage to ask, "Was it... was it you who ordered the takeout?"
The cat nodded and slowly approached.
The delivery driver was about to say that he could finally finish the order, but he quickly saw the face of the dark figure, which was deathly pale!
The delivery driver's tense nerves suddenly snapped. He screamed, dropped the food, and ran away as fast as he could!
"There's a ghost!"
Cat quickly stepped forward and nimbly caught the takeout. "That was close, I almost fell. This delivery guy is so clumsy."
However, considering that he delivered it quite quickly, Cat decided to give him a five-star rating.
The delivery guy raced back, hopped on his motorcycle, and sped down the mountain; his heart was pounding!
He's seen a ghost! These days, can ghosts order takeout?
Before long, he received a positive review, and he almost cried! Ghosts are actually quite easy to please? It just takes a bit of courage.
The cat carried the steak back and tossed the mask aside.
As she placed the steak onto the plate she had prepared beforehand, she said, "I don't know what happened to that person, they ran so fast, I haven't even thanked them yet."
Mu Jin glanced at the cat... and the mask lying beside it. "You wore a mask to pick up takeout?"
The cat nodded. "Yeah, I can't let him recognize me, can I?"
Mu Jin: "..."
That mask was the white-faced mask from Peking Opera; under these circumstances, it would be strange if a normal person didn't run away.
Mu Jin put the spirit herb he had just dug up into a specially made bottle, sealed it, walked over, wiped his hands, picked up his wine glass, and gently clinked it against the cat's glass.
"Congratulations on wrapping up filming. I wish the movie great success."
"whee."
The cat took a sip of wine and then watched Mu Jin slowly and methodically cut the steak.
Her Ah Jin is beautiful; you can never get tired of looking at her.
"Ah Jin, what are you going to do with all these spirit herbs?" the cat asked curiously.
Coincidentally, this is the second time he has dug here; he also dug here at this time last year.
Mu Jin put a piece of steak into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "This kind of spiritual herb is the only one in this world that still has natural spiritual energy. It only grows in autumn and winter every year. Special departments are collecting this kind of spiritual herb. This is my mission."
The cat asked again, "What are you going to do with this kind of magical herb?"
Mu Jin looked up. "Take a guess."
The cat shook its head, looking distressed, and said, "I won't guess, I can't guess."
Every time Ah Jin asks her to guess something, it's a real brain teaser. Don't let his nonchalant attitude fool you; the more nonchalant he seems, the more likely it is to be something big.
Moreover, Fifth Zhen wouldn't casually order Mu Jin around, because he was too difficult to command.
Mu Jin: "I'll tell you after I finish eating."
The cat could only wait anxiously.
After Mu Jin finished the last piece of steak, the cat immediately handed her a tissue.
Mu Jin took it and chuckled, "Why are you curious about these things? Knowing about these things isn't necessarily a good thing."
The cat said, "But this matter must be related to you, otherwise you wouldn't be digging for spirit herbs here."
Mu Jin glanced at her and nodded. "This matter does indeed have something to do with me."
"This spiritual herb is the root of this world. If one day, the natural resources of this world begin to dry up, this spiritual herb will be of great use."
Upon hearing this, the cat picked up the herb and examined it closely, but couldn't discern anything special about it.
"It's not that its spiritual power is particularly strong, but rather that it has miniaturized the life forms of this world. If it is expanded infinitely using appropriate means, it becomes another world. This is the meaning of the saying 'one flower, one world.'"
The cat seemed to understand a little. "But what does that have to do with you?"
Mu Jin braced her hands on the ground and looked up at the starry sky. "After the star orbit was reversed, time and space in the three thousand minor worlds changed. The gaps between the worlds became thinner, and some minor worlds even merged with each other."
If this world eventually faces its end, this miraculous herb might be its lifeline.
The cat stared at Mu Jin and slowly blinked.
Suddenly, she leaned over and lay on Mu Jin's chest, hugging him tightly. "Ah Jin, it's my fault, I don't blame you."
Mu Jin looked down and patted her head. "What did you do wrong?"
The cat looked at him and said, "If I hadn't gone to find you, this wouldn't have happened."
Mu Jin chuckled softly, "You're not wrong. I know what I'm doing. I'm not impulsive at all."
Cat looked at Mu Jin, still a little confused about what he was thinking, because she didn't have that much compassion, and the rise and fall of the world was none of her concern.
But she had a vague feeling that this was a burden for Ah Jin.
Mu Jin hugged the cat tightly, "If I had to choose again, I would still choose you."
The cat heard Mu Jin's heartbeat; it was steady and strong.
She said, "Ah Jin, I really want to hide you away, hide you in hell, so you can't see anyone, and you can only play with me every day."
Mu Jin paused for a moment, noticing the slight confusion in Maomao's tone, as well as her obsessive possessiveness.
She always deliberately hid it, sometimes telling him playfully, but the eager light in her eyes clearly revealed her truest thoughts.
Mu Jin lowered her voice and asked her, "When did you start having these improper thoughts about me?"
Cat thought for a moment, “A long time ago... you came to see me, and soon you had to leave. Cat will think this way as soon as you leave.”
