Chapter 57
Two strangers came to his door, holding pens in their hands, notebooks in their pockets, and even a camera, which they called a recorder.
They knocked on the door politely.
"Is anyone there?"
the person outside the door asked.
Green hesitated for a moment, tiptoed over and opened the door.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Green looked at them and asked.
"We are the department that specializes in dealing with stray animals, disobedient pets, and irresponsible pet owners. We recently received a complaint.
The complainant said that your pet has seriously affected his life.
So we came to your door to check. If that is the case, we will take your pet away and return it to you after training.
If your pet is well-trained, we will only check it to ensure that your pet will not affect other people in the future.
This is our ID.
This thing can prove that we are not idle people who come to cause trouble. If you want to search on the Internet now, you can also look up our specific identity and information according to the number."
Both of them took out their ID and handed it to Green.
Green took a look, nodded and tried to take a photo. He asked for their opinions, and they agreed to take the photo, but asked Green not to upload it to any social platform.
Green nodded, ready to check it out later when he had time, and invited them into the house.
They stepped over the threshold and looked around, and saw a huge cage. Inside the cage was the resting Shoggoth.
The Shoggoth was not still asleep, but was just too lazy to pay attention to them, so he didn't get out of the cage.
The Shoggoth is usually very quiet. Just like every day before, the two men checked it, recorded it with a pen in a notebook, and then said goodbye to Green.
"Okay, we have understood the specific situation. If there are any other complaints, we will come to you again. However, just in case, you'd better prepare to move as soon as possible."
They said to Green.
"Why should I prepare to move? Are you going to drive me away?"
Green's eyes widened in shock.
"We have no right to evict residents.
However, in theory, if the pet owner fails to fulfill his or her responsibilities and cannot allow people living around the pet to maintain a normal life, then we must evict the pet according to regulations.
After being evicted, the pet is without an owner and is a stray animal. As for the treatment of stray animals, we usually kill them.
If the former owner of the stray animal wants to take back the body, it is allowed. , but a certain fee must be paid as compensation for the relevant departments to maintain the cleanliness of the city.
If you want to protect the pets, it is better for the residents to prepare to move as soon as possible, so that everyone can save trouble and it will not cause other troubles.
Maybe if we move to another place, things will be better, pets will no longer cause any problems, and there will be no other people with complaints near the residents. "
The two people said with their heads down.
"I see."
Green took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and nodded to send them away.
After closing the door, Green sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling very angry. He cursed for half an hour, but still felt it was not enough, so he cursed for another half an hour.
It was getting dark.
He began to prepare dinner.
After dinner, he took Shoggoth out for a walk. Before leaving, he glanced at the time.
It was after midnight. When he returned home from outside, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
He washed up and prepared to rest.
But when he woke up, he heard the crying of his neighbor again. Not long after, when he was about to have lunch at home, someone knocked on the door again.
This time, it was the same two strangers who knocked on the door.
"I'm sorry, we received another complaint, so we came to see. Are you ready to move?"
they asked.
Green was silent for a long time and then laughed.
"I'll start preparing right away."
Green answered them.
But they looked at each other with embarrassed expressions, as if
there was something they hadn't said. "Just say whatever you want to say."
Green closed his eyes, prepared himself mentally, and said to them.
"We are not targeting you. But we have a rule that if we receive three complaints from the same pet, we have to evict the pet. This is your second time.
If there is a third complaint, you must leave here with your pet within three days.
Since your pet is very quiet and obedient, we can give you some time. You have to move out of this house within seven days at most. place, otherwise we will count it as delay.
If you have not left after 14 days, we will count it as deliberate delay, and your pet will be identified as a stray dog.
Then, it will be captured and killed by people we specially send.
We have the obligation to remind you in advance to deal with it and explain to you the possible consequences of your choice.
"Excuse me, do you understand everything?"
The two people looked at Green and asked.
Green was sitting on the sofa and suddenly had an illusion that he was actually sitting on the interrogation chair in the prison.
He smiled: "Okay, thank you for reminding me, I already know, I will pack up my things as soon as possible and find a place to move."
Green nodded to them and asked them to leave.
They looked at each other, sighed and left.
After Green closed the door, he tried to call Wangcai.
"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but I have something I have to tell you now. If I don't tell you now, it may be too late."
Green said.
"What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry? Can't you even wait for me to come back?"
Wangcai asked on the other end of the phone without knowing anything.
"My family has been complained twice.
The relevant department said that if there are three complaints, we will have to evict us.
Although they can't evict me, if they evict my pet, it will become a stray animal and their people will hunt it.
I don't think you want Shoggoth to be killed by them, so I have to pack up my things as soon as possible and find a place to move.
Can you provide me with a temporary residence?"
Green asked hesitantly.
"If you have something to do and don't have time or can't help me, I can understand. But don't delay my time, because I don't have much time.
If you delay my time and tell me that you can't do my job, I will definitely be angry."
Green frowned and said solemnly to the other end of the phone.
Wangcai was silent for a long time.
"Shoggoths are obedient, quiet, and beautiful. How could anyone not like them? Not liking them is fine, but complaining is. This is too outrageous. I can't believe my ears.
You have to know that before this happened, I never thought that such a thing would happen.
You just want a place to live. Of course, I have a villa with a garden attached. The garden is perfect for Shoggoths to play. You can take Shoggoths to live there as soon as possible.
Didn't I give you a key before?
Although I invited you to my house, you didn't go, so I gave you the key. Do you still remember this?
If you remember Find the key I gave you. I will send you an address. You can use the map to find it according to that address. The address will take you to my villa.
You can live there.
Don't worry about me. It will take some time before I can go back. Besides, even if I go back, I will definitely have a place to live. I won't compete with you, and I don't have to squeeze with Shoggoth.
You can live there slowly, and find another place when you have time or money. I don't mind at all. I'm very happy that Shoggoth can live in my place. This will allow me to see it sooner.
When I go back, I want to get along well with Shoggoth.
You shouldn't mind this, right?"
Wangcai asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"I don't mind you being friends with Shoggoth. I'm glad you're willing to provide me with a place to stay. Since you're so generous, I won't be shy with you anymore.
Send me the address and I'll pack up and go there now. Otherwise, if I'm a little late, I'll have to worry about Shoggoth's life."
Green said.
"I've sent you the address, but you don't have to worry so much about Shoggoth. Shoggoth is so strong, with muscles all over its body, how could it be afraid of one or two people trying to catch it?
Even if it can't bite people to death, it will have no problem escaping.
I think Shoggoth has a normal brain, and even if it is chased away from your residence, it will find a place to hide and wait for you to find it. Unless you don't plan to look for it.
To be honest, I had a dream once.
I dreamed that you chased it away, and it was very angry, and came back to bite you to death. I had to cry and collect the body for you, and the Shoggoth fell into my arms, and I adopted it. I was very happy.
I'm sorry that I had such a dream, but I really like Shoggoth. I hope you don't mind my little dark thoughts."
Wangcai said to Green while holding the phone.
"I know what you mean. You just like Shoggoth too much, not that you particularly dislike me. I can understand that. You've given me a big villa to live in. What else can I mind?"
Green laughed.
Hearing that Green didn't care, Wangcai breathed a sigh of relief.
"If only Shoggoth was by my side, I would definitely play with it."
Wangcai murmured to himself.
"Do you really have the time? Aren't you going out for work this time? Where can you spend time with Shoggoth specifically? Even if Shoggoth doesn't mind, you can't go too far."
Green couldn't help but remind him on the phone.
He was so scared that he quickly hung up the phone, and said sorry after hanging up the phone. After saying that, he realized that Green couldn't hear him on the other end after hanging up the phone.
He blushed and sent Green another message of apology.
Green replied to him that it was okay, and sent him a touch emoticon.
He was slightly relieved and nervously put away his phone.
