Chapter 56

In short, they have been together for a while and have become familiar with each other. The world of truth named the wild dog, Shoggoth, and planned to take it out to get a dog license.

Before leaving, he took a look at his temporary ID card for this area, and the name written on it was Green.

He wrote it down so as not to say the wrong thing when he went out.

Then he put the rope around Shoggoth's neck and took Shoggoth out.

On the way, he met a young man who was taking a walk. The young man was dressed elegantly and had a shiny watch. It seemed that his family was very rich.

The surprising thing was that his eyes lit up when he saw Shoggoth for the first time, and he came over to ask Green where he bought the dog.

"I didn't buy it. It was a stray dog. I asked it to come home with me because I thought my family needed a dog."

Green explained.

Shoggoth sat beside them, ignoring their conversation, squinting his eyes, as if looking at butterflies in the distance, with a calm demeanor.

Now his fur is smooth and shiny, and he looks more majestic than before.

To exaggerate a little, he has a natural kingly temperament.

"I have never seen such a beautiful pet. Are you its owner?"

the young man asked.

"Theoretically, yes.

But I haven't had time to tame it yet, so there is no tag yet. If I let go of it and there is no leash, people might think it is a stray dog ​​and grab it and take it away.

I'm not sure if Shoggoth thinks I am its owner. Maybe it thinks I am not worthy."

Green smiled at the young man.

The young man thought he was joking.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so humorous. My family used to have a dog. I think your dog is very beautiful. Why don't we exchange contact information so that we can walk the dog together when we have time.

If you don't have time, you can also call me. I have a lot of time and I can walk the dog for you. What do you think?

My place is not far away. If you are free, you can always come to my house to play, and it would be better if you bring your shoggoth."

The young man smiled at Green.

"Okay then."

Green nodded and planned to exchange contact information with the other party.

"I want to give you a note. What note do you think is more appropriate?"

Green looked at the young man and asked.

The young man blushed and whispered, "My name is Wangcai, you can just call me Wangcai."

Green nodded.

After exchanging contact information, Wangcai followed Green and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

"Anything else?"

Green asked him.

"Since you want to get married, I've done it before, so I'll go with you. If you need any help, I can go there. I don't mind helping at all."

Wangcai said to Green.

Green thought about it and felt that it was a good thing to have someone to help him, so there was no need to refuse. Besides, the other party was so enthusiastic, so he might not have bad intentions. One more friend means one more way.

Wangcai was very happy.

He actually ran around to help Green get the job done, and when he passed by the pet store, he bought a new dog leash, a bag of dog food, and a box of biscuits.

"These things are my gifts to Shoggoth. I'll visit you often when I have time in the future. You shouldn't mind me knocking on your door, right?"

Wangcai asked cautiously.

"If I'm in the house when you knock on the door, then of course it's OK."

Green answered.

"If you're not in the house, will Shoggoth be in the house?"

Wangcai looked at Green and asked.

"It doesn't need to go to work or study, so of course it will stay in the house. If I don't take it out, where else can it be?"

Green asked.

"That's right. I thought you would want to let it roam free. Shoggoth is so beautiful. If it goes out, it will definitely be majestic. However, it's better not to go out, so it won't get hurt."

Wangcai nodded.

"By the way, are you going to sterilize it? If you don't plan to sterilize Shoggoth, then I can help find a show-level pet dog to help Shoggoth solve the estrus period. What do you think?"

Wangcai asked.

"It depends on what Shoggoth wants. During the time I spent with Shoggoth, I didn't see any signs of it going into heat. Shoggoths rarely make any noise and are very quiet."

Green explained to Wangcai.

"So Shoggoths definitely won't destroy the house?

I'm really jealous of you for finding a good pet like Shoggoth.

I have a friend who has a pet that is very noisy. Even the neighbors can't stand it. Every day he regrets why he found such a pet."

Wangcai said.

"Shoggoth is a very good friend."

Green replied.

They talked all the way as they walked, and then Wangcai followed Green back home. Green entertained Wangcai, and they talked happily until the evening. Green cleaned up the living room.

Wangcai stayed in the living room for one night, and said he slept well the next morning.

"I think it's all thanks to Shoggoth. Without Shoggoth, I wouldn't be able to sleep so well. I often suffer from insomnia at home."

Wangcai said to Green.

"It would be great if I could help you, but if you think it was Shoggoth who helped you, maybe you can give it more things next time you come, things it can use, to thank it."

Green smiled at Wangcai.

Wangcai nodded, said goodbye to Shoggoth, and left.

From then on, they became friends.

Wangcai often came to Green's residence to take care of Shoggoth when he was free, or asked Shoggoth to play with him.

Green wanted to thank him, but he said that he should thank Shoggoth. Life would be too hard without Shoggoth, so Green didn't need to thank him.

If Green must thank him, he just had to be extra nice to Shoggoth.

After all, Shoggoth had lived in Green's home for a while, and Wangcai couldn't just take it away. He was also worried that if he took Shoggoth away by force, it would make Shoggoth stressed or depressed.

Wangcai didn't want to do that, nor did he want to make Shoggoth sad. The time they spent together made him regard Green as a friend, and his attention was finally not all on Shoggoth.

"I have to go away for something for a while, so I can't come over for the time being. You take good care of Shoggoth and wait for me to come back."

Wangcai said to Green.

Green nodded.

Wangcai left the next day.

On the third day after Wangcai left, the house next door to Green, which had been vacant, was rented out by the landlord, and a new neighbor moved in.

The neighbor knocked on the door when he came over, intending to give Green a cookie as a gift, but his face changed when he saw Shugs.

"These are the cookies I baked myself. The colorful things are icing and chocolate. I hope you like them."

The neighbor said tremblingly.

He also held a box in his hand, and the box was filled with cookies, not too much, not too little, enough for one person as afternoon tea.

Green took the box tentatively and thanked him.

"Thank you for coming to deliver the cookies. You don't have to worry about the shoggoth biting you. I don't usually take the shoggoth out. If you are afraid of the shoggoth, I will adjust the time I take it out in the future."

Green took the box and said to the neighbor.

"Really? That's great.

May I ask when you take it out?" The neighbor looked at Green with a dark face and asked nervously.

"I think you won't go out at 3 o'clock in the evening, or at 4 o'clock in the morning, you probably don't mind me taking the shoggoth out at that time?

If I always lock the shoggoth in the house, it may disturb you at night."

Green tried to explain.

The neighbor nodded, reluctantly reaching an agreement with him, and turned away.

After that, Green closed the door and heard the neighbor knocking on other neighbors' doors, delivering biscuits and saying some other polite words.

Although those were just words said out of courtesy, they were much more enthusiastic than the situation where he just said a few words to Green and turned around and left.

Green put the biscuits on the shoe cabinet. Shoggoth went over and sniffed them, but he showed no interest and turned back to his cage, which was consistent with his usual attitude of having no interest in food. Shoggoth

even closed the door of his cage by himself, just like a young man who went back to his room and closed the door.

I don't know if it was an illusion or if Shoggoth and Wangcai had been here for a long time, but occasionally Green looked at the two of them and felt that they were really a bit alike.

"It's hard to throw this away, but you're not interested, and I don't want to eat it now, so just leave it here.

But it's easy to spoil here, and the weather is getting hotter, so I'll put it in the refrigerator."

Green said to Shoggoth.

Shoggoth nodded, and Green put the cookie box in the refrigerator and breathed a sigh of relief.

At 3 a.m. that night, he put a rope on Shoggoth and gently opened the door. There was no one around, so he let Shoggoth out, and Shoggoth followed him around.

It was almost 5 a.m. when they returned home. They almost met someone on the road, so Green decided to go earlier next time.

Maybe they could go out at 1 a.m. and go home at 3 a.m., and it would be okay even if they wanted to play outside for an extra hour.

Even at 4 a.m., the road was quieter than at 5 a.m., with fewer people and less ease, because the Shoggoth scared other people.

After two days, Green thought nothing would happen, but suddenly he heard his neighbor crying.

He looked out through the cat's eye and saw that the neighbor's door was open. There were two strangers in blue clothes nodding inside, holding pens and notebooks in their hands, and they looked like they were recording something.

What did they have to record?

Green didn't know at this time, but he had a bad feeling.

This led to him sitting at home packing things when he had free time, until midnight, when he would take the Shoggoth out, and continue packing things after bringing the Shoggoth back.

He stayed awake for a day and a night before realizing that he had insomnia.

This was not a good thing. At the same time, when he got home from work ,

there was another bad thing waiting for him.
