628 · Haining Cat Island (38)
[Damn, I got a shock.]
【Didn't you know that this cat would grow bigger and smaller? 】
[Although I had expected it, it was still a little scary to see it with my own eyes. ]
[Who saw clearly how the cat shrunk just now? ]
[I didn't see it clearly, but it seemed like something was vomited out? ]
The three people present in the unknown space also discovered this.
Bai Jinshu walked forward to Huai Jiamu and looked at the strange object on the ground with him.
"What is this?" Lu Changfeng also ran over, "This... is this what the cat vomited out?"
Lu Changfeng twitched his lips, picked up a crooked branch from the side, and fiddled with the unknown object a few times -
A long strip of object that looked like a hair ball and was covered in unknown mucus was found. It was brown in color and looked like a lump of undigested cat food, mixed with some brown-green residue that looked like plants.
All in all... uh...
Someone in the barrage expressed Lu Changfeng’s thoughts:
[I don't have a cat, so I don't know. This should be something that a normal cat would vomit, right? ]
This seems to have nothing to do with the monster that can grow bigger or smaller?
Lu Changfeng fiddled with it a few more times without giving up, but was unwilling to find that this cat actually ate much better than humans, and there were even tuna fragments in the contents it vomited out.
"Brother Du, and the leader," he turned around in embarrassment, "this doesn't seem to be a problem?"
"Did the cat just vomit out these things?" He asked unwillingly, "I saw it shrunk in a flash. Didn't it spit out some Yuandan or Yaodan or something like that?"
Bai Jinshu: ...
Bai Jin said: "Read less novels."
"It's not a novel. Isn't this the setting of the worlds I've been to?" Lu Changfeng argued. "Some immortal cultivator whose body disappears when dying and only leaves behind a Nascent Soul to make a comeback..."
How could it be like this cat, the only thing it has ever done from its childhood to its present size is to vomit out a bunch of undigested stomach contents?
"I don't know about that," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly, and wrapped one hand around the tentacles of the leopard cat on his head, "I've never been a cat...hiss."
A row of teeth sprouted from the tentacle and he gnawed them with his knuckles.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Bai Jinshu immediately changed the subject, "Take a picture of this pile of stuff on the ground and send it to the group."
Clues leave traces. Although this thing currently looks like just an ordinary ball of cat vomit, who knows if there will be any clues hidden in it.
As for why Lu Changfeng took the photo...
Of course, it was because he didn't want to leave such a disgusting photo in his Foundation combat watch...
Although he was not a mysophobe and Du Zhongsheng didn't have it either, Bai Jinshu walked a little further away silently.
Barrage:
[The disgust on the face of the Cat Saint is about to overflow. ]
[Du Zhongsheng never approached the pile of things from beginning to end. He was just searching through the rice noodle rolls. Even when the leader tried to reach out his tentacles to pick them up, he grabbed them and pushed them back.]
[It's been a long time since I've seen this before. This is also the first time I've seen confusion on a tentacle cat's face. ]
[Cat Saint Be Like: If your tentacles touch these things, don't get on my shoulders. ]
[Family members, I am a newcomer. Will the God of your foundation really be so indulgent to the Son of God? ]
[It's okay. Our foundation has many gods, evil gods, and false gods.]
…
On the other side, Lu Changfeng obediently squatted down and sent the photos he took to the group, and soon received a question mark from Guan Hongyan.
Guan Hongyan: [? ]
Guan Hongyan: [What do you mean? Taunting?]
Bai Jinshu: ...
Du Zhongsheng: [Clue.]
Lu Changfeng rushed out to smooth things over, and quickly recounted what had just happened: [Sister Yan, the two of us followed the leader's direction and found him and the cat that had escaped. Then, right under our noses, the cat suddenly vomited something and shrunk and ran away.]
Guan Hongyan enlarged the photo and studied it for a long while while surrounded by a group of old men, and took the time to type: [Rice noodle rolls, judging from the picture you sent, you should use "a pool" instead of "one" to describe it.]
Even the two newcomers who were being besieged couldn't help but speak:
Fang Xiang: [Oh my god, what is this?]
Wu Meng: […Who vomited here? ]
A few minutes later, Yun Guang couldn't help but think of this explosive photo: [The cat you were chasing spit out these things, shrunk and ran away? ]
[Hey, you're alive,] Guan Hongyan poked Yun Guang's head portrait, [Have you found out anything over there?]
Yun Guang: [There are results.]
Yun Guang: [Wait a minute, we are on our way, let’s meet at a certain place. ]
*
"So you guys were chasing a white cat that had to avoid people to eat, all the way to the Civic Park, and then after the leader caught it, you had to watch it vomit a pool of stuff and run away?" Yun Guang confirmed.
"Yes," Bai Jinshu nodded, his fingers unconsciously twirling around the ocelot's tail, "It's very likely that this cat is much smarter than the average cat."
"Oh, yes. When we first started chasing it, it was playing a feint with the other cats." Guan Hongyan added to Yun Guang, "If it weren't for the leader, we would have lost it long ago."
"Don't talk about us," Bai Jinshu tapped the table with his finger and looked at Yun Guang, "What did you find?"
Yun Guang took two other newcomers in the team, Tong Yao and Yu Changlin, to investigate the self-media blogger. It is not known yet what they have found.
"We did find her address based on the content of her early videos," Yun Guang's face turned serious as he talked about business. "This self-media blogger has not left Haining Island yet..."
Most of the houses on Haining Island look very similar, and it is difficult to locate the blogger's home based solely on the interior decoration of the houses shown in the photos. Fortunately, some of her early works included some vlogs of returning home from the beach. Through the clips in these videos, Yun Guang and his friends searched for a while and finally found the home of this self-media blogger.
It has been several months since her account became popular. As tourism in Haining Island has become popular, the blogger who initially brought Haining Island into the public eye has suddenly disappeared and has never posted any related videos since.
When Yun Guang and his team went there to look for it, there was no one in the house. However, based on the traces around it, it was easy to tell that someone lived in the house and that the residents were feeding the wild cats regularly.
Yu Changlin and Wu Meng walked around the area and soon found several express boxes with no delivery information crossed out in the trash cans around the house. They determined from the recipients on them that the resident here was the blogger.
The next step was to pretend to be a follow-up visit from the school's career guidance counselor. I called the number on the courier. The blogger on the other end was not on guard at all and quickly told the blogger his current detailed employment information.
"After she became famous in her own media, she actually stopped doing good things for a few months and went to work as an ordinary clerk in a bank in town," Wu Meng scratched his head in confusion. "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the former is more profitable."
"Yes, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it makes more money," Guan Hongyan held up her chin, "That only means that she has other reasons for not doing self-media!"
For example, some things on the island cannot be captured or broadcast by cameras.
And this thing that cannot be photographed... "Could it be that the cats on this island can grow bigger or smaller?" Fang Xiang thought thoughtfully.
"Let's integrate the clues," Yun Guang tapped the table and took out a pen and paper to organize his thoughts. "First, the cats on the island are now confirmed to have some abilities that are different from cats. So far, I have witnessed cats growing bigger and smaller, but I don't know if it is an isolated case or something else."
"Also, these cats can communicate with humans, are extremely smart and can retaliate, and can also cooperate with the enemy to divert attention," Guan Hongyan listed a bunch of them at once, "Write all of these down."
"Okay, I've written it all down," Yun Guang wrote for a while and then looked up. "Second, many middle-aged and elderly people on Haining Island seem to have a common secret with the cats, and they are united in guarding this secret. The young people don't know the details, or only know some of them."
For example, the self-media blogger they visit today is very likely to have learned this secret.
"We can ask Brother Li to ask his mother about this?" Lu Changfeng suggested. "Lu Changfeng's mother has been trying to stop him from opening a pet shop. If he insists or wants to get a reason, maybe he can get something out of her."
“I agree, but I suggest that we must hear first-hand information around us when asking,” Wu Meng raised his hand.
"Okay." Yun Guang nodded gently.
Yun Guang: "Well, thirdly, we have discovered in the past few days since we came here that the indigenous people on Haining Island seem to be particularly averse to photographing wild cats. However, they are not on guard against all photographing behaviors, but some special behaviors that have not yet been found to have common characteristics."
"Next to the old house," Bai Jinshu said.
Seeing the looks from the other people, he added, "Except for Brother Li and the blogger, the most filming took place next door to the old house."
Whether it is the folk singer Zheng Feng or the rich second-generation girl who is tight-lipped and refuses to say what she has queued for, it seems that they all have a close relationship with the homestay next to the old house.
"Okay, so one of the common points is that it happened in a B&B," Yun Guang wrote this down, "At the moment, these are the clues..."
Although it’s not much, it already has a very clear direction.
"It's getting late," he glanced at his watch and asked for everyone's opinions, "I think we can go back to the old house and rest now."
Anyway, Maode Academy has been demolished and they have no classes to attend. The homestay that was one of the clues is right next to the old house, so going back is the best option no matter how you look at it.
Everyone passed.
After saying hello to Brother Li, today's exploration team members still retreated back to their residence early.
Just when everyone was planning to take a break before continuing the investigation, Bai Jinshu suddenly stopped in the living room.
"There's a camera." He frowned.
"Where?" The exploration team members looked at each other.
Bai Jin said: "Outside, on the eaves."
From his perspective, Huai Jiamu jumped off his shoulders after entering the old house, and went into the small courtyard at the back to take a look around as usual. Suddenly, his sight stopped on the eaves.
The leopard cat made a few light jumps and instantly stopped between the eaves of the old house and the neighboring homestay.
On the eaves, its golden vertical pupils stared straight at a camera that was flashing red and facing the front.
