Chapter 57: Happy Cooperation Cat Scratches Me and Loves Me
Want to get a cat?
Chen Shuang glanced down at the frantic figure squatting at her feet.
At this moment, the Obsidian Cat was wagging its tail impatiently, its ears were drooping backwards, and even its eyes looked unfriendly.
Chen Shuang: Coming for you?
Cat: Is it coming towards me?
It scratched the ground anxiously, and its stone claws rubbed against the ground, producing tiny sparks.
Chen Shuang looked at the Holy Son: "This is your freedom, I have no right to interfere."
"Whether you want to get a pet or do anything else, it's your decision," she said. "Just one thing: stay away from this temple."
The dark priest standing in the shadows said, "Light is not welcome here."
A feather with black roots slowly fell from the sky. Chen Shuang shifted her gaze behind her. Above the dark sky, a huge pair of wings spread out completely blocked the light from the sky and cast a quiet shadow on the ground.
The silver-white giant sword was held in the palm of his hand, reflecting a sharp cold light.
The same silver eyes drooped slightly, revealing undisguised indifference. The angel, suspended in the sky, whispered softly, "Get out, human."
As soon as the words fell, the silver-white giant sword instantly broke through the wind and shot straight at the human standing outside the temple like an arrow.
The undisguised murderous intent was aimed at the human's throat.
"Cough!" The Son of God rolled on the ground without caring about his image and avoided the fatal blow.
The buzzing giant sword vibrated not far above his head. He simply lay down in the mud with a dusty face. He looked at his muddy hands with a good mood, raised his palm to block the direct light, and cast a comfortable darkness.
The Holy Son in front of him chuckled softly, and the sound was compressed and exhaled from his abdominal cavity, sounding very refreshing.
"That's great," he said, "I feel relieved to have you around."
Angel Lands: "That sounds like a joke."
"Really?" he said. "For me, this is such a good thing that I can even wake up laughing in the middle of the night."
The Son of God climbed out of the mud, his pure white robe stained into a mess by his careless act.
"I want to be free, and you want darkness to return. Our goals are no different."
Fran murmured the long-desired word "freedom", and the things that had been so far away seemed to be getting closer.
Even if he were to die now, a new Fran would be born and grow up soon, carrying this cursed fate and continuing to sit stiffly at the highest point of the church until the end of his life.
As long as the light shines on the entire continent, "Fran" will not be free.
But now…
He looked at the darkness before him.
The freedom to decide what he wants to do, where he wants to go, and when he wants to die does not seem so out of reach anymore.
The Holy Son leaned against the tree and said, "Since there is no difference, I think we can establish a friendly trading relationship for a short time."
"Perhaps you would like to know the new oracle the church has obtained."
*
He said:
"Strangling Wilderness Tower"
Chen Shuang asked, "What does this mean?"
The Holy Son shook his head. "I checked before I came here. There's no place called the Tower of the Wilderness around the Lost Lands, and there's no related name, organization, or building in the nearby Kingdom of Thorns."
Chen Shuang seemed to be lost in thought.
The fact that it could make the God of Light issue an oracle and even use the word "strangulation" just illustrates its threat, or in other words, its power.
Chen Shuang raised her eyes: "This is a prophecy."
"That's right," the Son of God said, "This is the first time I've seen someone with such drastic mood swings. This prophecy must be about some unknown fate."
"And this fate is exactly what that person doesn't want to see."
He smiled and said, "The horror of prophecy lies in the fact that countless hands are stirring in the river, trying to divert its course, but with their concerted efforts, they actually cause the river to rush towards its originally intended destination."
Shen Shuang nodded: "I understand."
It's like the Oedipus effect.
The son wanted to break the prophecy of "killing his father and marrying his mother", so he deliberately stayed away from his adoptive parents. However, on the way away from home, he killed his biological father who sent him away, and then married his biological mother.
She said, "The Tower in the Wilderness will be established soon. It will develop in secret until I witness the fulfillment of the prophecy with my own eyes."
Several clues flashed through her mind.
The shadowy [Divine Blessing] chain, the newly emerged name of the Tower of the Wilderness, and the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Thorns that might break out at any time, all seemed to be vaguely revolving around a certain core.
I'm afraid that only gods can be afraid of us.
Perhaps this is the key to awakening God.
The Son straightened up: "Thank you for your tolerance."
"But there's one last thing," he said solemnly, "Can I pet the cat? It looks so fat and cute."
Is there anyone who praises a cat like this?
The other person's gaze was as hot as a furnace: "I didn't mean to pick it up, but it's really round. I didn't mean to pick it up, but it's looking at me. I didn't mean to pick it up, but if it's homeless, I'd be happy to give it a home."
Chen Shuang: And you said you weren’t here to steal the cat.
She thought for a moment and said, "Although this is your freedom, I hope you will observe basic morality and not have any improper thoughts about other people's cats."
"What unreasonable thoughts, I..."
Fran's voice suddenly stopped, and the faint smile on his face faded slightly. He said awkwardly, "I'm in true love... How can true love be called an unreasonable wish?"
Chen Shuang: “…”
Could you please pack this person up and send him back to the Church of Light?
The Son of God looked at the obsidian cat, which was only the size of his palm, in fascination.
It has an elegant posture, and its pointed, upright ears, although not soft, still maintain a smooth arc. At this moment, these ears are forced to fly back by the undisguised gaze, and then the owner of the ears begins to make a threatening "ha" sound.
The Son of God paused, and then he slowed down his voice: "It breathed on me..."
"Why doesn't it breathe on others? It has me in its heart."
Chen Shuang: “…”
cat:"……"
I met a pervert.
He stared at the cat intently.
No fluff.
The Holy Son, who had been unable to touch cat fur since childhood, suddenly felt his heart beating faster, and his eyes unconsciously chased the cat of his dreams, wishing he could stick to it.
Until the cat could no longer bear it, it rubbed against the priest next to it, and light surged on its body, and it successfully turned into a hairless cat.
The obsidian statue may arouse the desire to collect in some people, but a cat with only flesh-colored skin will definitely discourage most people.
The cat raised its head confidently and let out a fierce "ha".
This will finally make him give up.
Then the cat saw the person outside the railing and his eyes suddenly brightened.
The Son of God said in a trembling voice: "How can there be such a perfect creation?"
It retains the softness and warmth of a cat while removing the hair that is difficult for him to touch. It is simply a cat tailor-made for him.
The cat widened its eyes in shock and slipped away in disbelief. When it came back, it had turned into a skeleton cat with burning soul fire.
The knotty white bones rose and fell as it walked. Except for a few necromancers, most living beings would avoid this form of the undead.
Now he won't have that disgusting expression on his face.
The Holy Son in front of him paused briefly, then clapped his hands fiercely. "Great! The smooth bones are quite interesting, and I don't have to worry about survival in my undead form. Perfect, truly perfect."
Chen Shuang: The case is solved, pure perversion.
The Holy Son straightened his clothes and said, "Perhaps you would like to know other secrets of the Church of Light, or perhaps you need an undercover agent hidden in the church to pass on information at any time."
He said, "Although I am sincere in my cooperation, in order to gain your trust in this cooperation, you can send an inspector to monitor me at all times."
The Son stared at the cat with anticipation.
Chen Shuang: “…”
Are you sure it's for surveillance and not a disguised cat theft?
The Shadow of Madness just disappeared for a while, and when it came back, it turned back into the form of obsidian. It happened to hear the words of the Son of God, and it sharpened its claws on the spot, walked towards the iron gate with cat steps, and then squatted down gracefully.
Does this mean you want to get in touch with him?
The Son of God outside approached immediately and couldn't wait to pinch the cat's ears, back, and paws.
After moving a little wider, he successfully met the eyes of a pair of narrowed vertical pupils.
The next second, the claws scratched him fiercely, leaving three obvious red marks on his face.
"hiss!"
Fran's expression was stunned. He murmured, "It really is a cat. A cat that can scratch people."
"It actually touched my face with its claws. Why didn't it touch other people's faces?" The Son of Heaven was intoxicated and finally concluded: "It loves me."
The cat who wanted to teach humans a lesson: "..."
My paws feel dirty.
Chen Shuang coughed and said, "I will consider this proposal, provided you give me some time."
She glanced at the cat, which was already purring, and took a step back, "Please leave now."
"Otherwise it might not be able to control itself."
From Shen Shuang's perspective, starting from the cat's paws, the whole cat became chaotic and distorted, as if it were made up of countless different shadows overlapping.
Though it only appeared for a moment, and when I looked again, the cat had regained its stone appearance, the unique feeling of a truly frenzied shadow remained in my memory for a long time. Cold and dark, like a terrifying afterimage buried underground for thousands of years.
If you are caught by the Shadow of Madness, it will not be so easy.
"By the way," Chen Shuang threw a black star to the Holy Son, "Take this, a simple teleportation array."
"After I think it over, a living being will come to your side."
The teleportation array developed and upgraded by the dwarfs already has a miniature version. Although the effect is not as good as the large star teleportation array, it is sufficient to teleport small creatures.
"Please remember your promise," the black-haired priest said, "You have betrayed the God of Light. I believe you will not provoke another God of Darkness again."
The Holy Son smiled and said, "Of course, it's a pleasure to work with you, great dark priest."
"Happy cooperation, free men who are about to break free from the light."
