"Go and rest first, don't wait for me."
"Brother Miao, it's not safe in the mountains... Hey, you should at least bring an umbrella, Brother Miao..."
Miao Shu quickly left his assistant behind. With no one around, he transformed into his original form, a golden-yellow tabby cat with shiny fur, leaping nimbly through the mountains like a beam of light.
He would stop every now and then to sniff the direction of the scent, but found that the other party did not seem to move. He became wary. Could it be a trap?
He sniffed and sniffed, but still couldn't tell what kind of product it was. He began to wonder if the other party was deliberately trying to attract his attention and lure him over.
He shook the raindrops off his hair and quickly tried to recall the seafood he had eaten, but to no avail.
He pursed his ears, carefully concealing his presence, and continued to approach, but without making a sound.
As he hesitated, the smell of seafood gradually faded away. He paused, sniffed again, scratched his head with his front paw, and circled around twice. He still decided to go and check it out, thinking that if things didn't look good, he would run away...
A pair of canvas shoes covered in mud appeared in front of him. At the same time, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky. He suddenly bent back and jumped. The rain couldn't suppress his bristling hair, and his pupils narrowed to slits.
Hiss hiss hiss—meow—
Halfway through his transformation, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his spine.
For a moment, his mind was filled with more confusion than fear; countless thoughts floated through his mind, yet it was as if he hadn't thought of anything at all.
He stiffly looked up, but only managed to catch a glimpse of moonlight-like silver.
"Meow--"
The canvas shoes moved closer, and the sharp weapon that had pierced his body was pulled out. The half-human, half-cat Miao Shu curled up in pain, and an even louder, more shrill cat cry echoed through the forest, instantly sending those who heard it back to the horror movie.
Several talismans flew out, but it was still a step too late. Of course, even if they had caught up, they might not have been able to stop them.
001 stared at the severed tail, silently activating the villain tracking feature. Her expression was troubled, but her little mouth kept chattering: "Sigh, did he sever his tail to escape? How did he get so far? It wasn't mentioned in the timeline. What's the principle behind traveling tens of thousands of miles in an instant? Should we still chase after him?"
The last question that Di Xiu could answer was: "I'll pursue it again in two days."
001 thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, hopefully he can survive and not die."
The damage caused by Wuji couldn't be offset by losing a tail. That sword strike also severely damaged his demon core. 001 still has that much insight.
In the timeline, Miao Shu was forced back to his original form only because he was injured, and the original form was more conducive to recovery. At that time, his demon core was intact, and as long as he recovered from his injuries, his strength would return as well.
But this time, he'll just stick to being a sick cat.
"They say cats have nine lives, is that true?"
...
Using a pawn he had previously laid, Miao Shu moved to the safe house he had specially prepared, sacrificing one of his own. His body ached, and his heart bled with pain.
That was something he had worked hard to cultivate, and he even offended the Cat Demon King for it.
He was in excruciating pain all over his body, and his demon core was showing signs of breaking, but he still couldn't hold on and fainted.
Even in his dream, he couldn't help but wonder when he had offended such a vixen.
It was so powerful that it sent chills down the spines of demons, leaving them powerless to resist...
Who is it? Who is it...? Even the Cat Demon King back then didn't make him act like this... No, he didn't sense any demonic energy back then, so is it a demon or a human? When did such a powerful being emerge from the human race?
How did he create the illusion of leaving, and then approach silently? Or... was the seafood he smelled not the same as the one that attacked him?
Damn, curiosity killed the cat!
...
There was a small village in the mountains. The environment wasn't great, but sometimes when filming wrapped up late, it wasn't safe to go down the mountain, and going up and down was troublesome. So the crew rented the houses of the village chief and a few villagers to stay in.
The crew had stayed up all night and were exhausted, so Miao Shu's assistant wasn't too worried about her award-winning actor.
Those familiar with Miao Shu, a triple-crown film emperor, know that he has studied traditional kung fu, is a first-rate action star, and also has extremely strong wilderness survival skills. He once participated in a wilderness survival reality show, and his performance was applauded by professionals.
The crew distributed ginger soup, and the assistant took a portion for Miao Shu, put it in a thermos, attached a note, and went to sleep. However, when she came over the next morning, she found the bed empty.
In everyone's eyes, the only flaw of the perfect Miao Shu is that he loves to sleep in, and his assistant always has to wake him up, which has become a reason why many people like him.
The assistant panicked when he couldn't find him. After asking around, he realized that he was the last person to see him, and he couldn't help but slap himself.
When the film crew learned that the movie star had gone missing, they stopped filming and immediately set out to search for him.
To avoid a misunderstanding that angered the actor's fans, the production team temporarily suppressed the news and did not report it to the police.
001 and Di Xiu were at the hotel next to the parking lot at this time, mainly because the latter needed to wash up.
After realizing they had affected the production schedule, the two remained silent for a moment before readily abandoning their conscience.
As a public figure, if they want to deal with Miao Shu, it will inevitably involve others—his sudden disappearance and unknown fate will surely cause his die-hard fans to riot. Even if he disappears at home, it will probably involve the security guards.
“Demons are indeed different,” 001 remarked. “Even when Tide, the last mermaid, disappeared, she didn’t have this kind of prestige.”
The Dragon King was angry, but he only forbade Xiao Xuan from approaching the sea again. Apart from that, there was only the crazy villain Miao Shu. 001 didn't even have the heart to complain about his actions.
The crew searched all day but couldn't find him, especially since it had rained at night and many traces had been swept away.
The signal is poor in the mountains, so I can't make phone calls.
In a panic, the assistant confronted the film crew. After finding a signal on the way down the mountain, he told Miao Shu's agent, who berated him severely and told him to call the police.
As soon as the search and rescue team arrived at the foot of the mountain, the internet exploded. Fans who were expecting their idol to win a bunch of awards with this script instantly fell from heaven to hell, all in disbelief.
Actor Miao's wilderness survival skills are comparable to those of a professional, and his kung fu is also impressive. This has led some to wonder if martial arts novels are actually true, and perhaps he comes from some reclusive ancient martial arts family.
They absolutely refused to believe that someone like that could disappear so suddenly.
Before long, the production team's official Weibo account launched a massive attack. At first, they were relatively mild and rational, hoping the production team could refute the rumors. However, as the official account remained silent, they became increasingly panicked and began to hurl insults and abuse.
