Chapter 126: The Old Building Neighbors
But it was really unlucky.
Even if the heroine lets him go, it will be of no use.
Because it followed its instinct and returned to the home that its original owner had been thinking about before her death. It was only separated by a wall from the high-end residential area where the heroine lived.
On one side is a green and well-equipped living paradise, and on the other side is an urban village with old, dim and messy buildings. It is like two completely different worlds, which ultimately creates two completely different lives for the heroine and the original owner.
Those monsters who were attracted to Wang Qingqing could not do anything to her because of Bai Su's intimidation, so they could only vent their anger and frustration elsewhere.
For example, on the cat monster next door.
Although they are of the same kind, and although it also has sharp claws and teeth, it is weak and there are too many monsters.
An endless stream of monsters were attracted by the heroine's physique, and then were beaten away by the hero's high force, and then they took the opportunity to regain their face in front of the cat monster. It almost became a tacit game among them.
In the end, the relationship between the hero and heroine deepens, the monsters completely give up on the heroine and submit to the hero, and the world is achieved where only the cats and monsters are truly harmed.
Rongzhen was also quite convinced after reading it. It really felt like he had caught a cat monster and got away with it.
No wonder no one chose this mission, it seems really dangerous and difficult.
But now that I'm here, I have to complete the task no matter how difficult it is. How do I know if I can't complete it if I don't try? No matter how difficult it is, it won't be as difficult as the male protagonists in the previous worlds.
Rongzhen scratched his scalp and continued reading to comfort himself.
There are three main missions in this world. The first two are plot missions. One is to transform into a ghost cat and be encountered by the hero and heroine when they are experiencing a strange incident. After recognizing his identity, the heroine feels that the world is impermanent, and begins to value her fate with the hero and no longer avoids it.
Rongzhen: ...So he's just another tool used to promote the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
It’s an old trick, she is familiar with it.
What you are not familiar with is how he became a ghost cat man. The original owner was scared to death by a subway ghost story and turned into a floating person. By chance, he merged with a cat that was contaminated by something weird and became a ghost cat man.
However, because the timing of her arrival was too coincidental, she just avoided the subway ghost story and did not turn into Piao. How could she merge with the pollution cat and transform?
It's impossible to let her try to scam someone and die again, right? The opportunity has been missed, so even if she scams someone, it might not work.
If you think about it carefully, a ghost cat person is just a kind of cat monster. As long as she can become a cat monster by then, it doesn't matter if she doesn't become a ghost cat person, right?
Rongzhen took note of this for the time being and planned to think of a solution when the time comes.
If that didn't work, she would get herself a set of cat monster skin and wear it to pretend.
The second task is to take on the firepower for the heroine and draw away the anger of the monsters attracted by the heroine, so as to leave enough space for the hero and heroine to sublimate their feelings.
Although the world background is an urban horror story, the core theme is actually a romance story. There must not be too many hardships that hinder the development of the relationship between the hero and heroine, so at this time there must be characters who come out to take on some things for them.
This is the function of the Cat Monster.
This task will definitely be painful, but Rongzhen has no masochistic tendencies, so she plans to deal with it if she can, and give up the points if she fails.
The hero is so powerful and the heroine is so gentle and kind. I believe that even without the contribution of the cat monster, they can still safely overcome the crisis and continue to love each other.
Rongzhen is very optimistic about them and is not prepared to sacrifice herself.
She had chosen this world in a hurry. She was not interested in the points she could get after completing the task, but the convenience of the original owner's identity. She wanted to do a test to verify a not-so-good guess in her mind.
It is known that the original form of the male protagonist in this world is Duobao Rat, and the original owner mutated into a cat monster...
Hehe, cats and mice are real natural enemies!
If there is a connection between them and they are together by chance, Rongzhen should not suspect that there is something wrong with the male lead, but that there is something fishy going on with herself.
So she deliberately chose this identity just to see who had the problem.
I heard that some people have a physique that attracts scum, just like the heroine in this world has a physique that attracts monsters, so she is a little suspicious whether there is something about herself that specifically attracts the male protagonist of the novel, otherwise it would be unreasonable.
The third task was the original owner's wish. She wanted to be a good person and didn't want to turn into a monster that was neither a cat nor a ghost.
There is a supplement below this one, with a special note saying that if it is still difficult to change the fact that you have become a cat monster, then just be a cat from now on.
Whether it is a stray cat or a pet cat, once it mutates, it will be automatically removed from human registration and registered as a cat.
Rongzhen was speechless about this. Is this either a human or a cat?
She naturally wants to be a human being rather than a cat.
It happened that she had escaped death and didn't turn into a ghost. As long as she tried not to turn into a cat monster in the future, there would be no problem for her to be a human being.
As for the story missions that require the Cat Monster identity to be completed, she can only find another way. Anyway, she doesn't want to give up her human identity unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Wake up, it's time to get off the bus." The woman in black next to her gently pushed her and reminded her.
Rongzhen opened her eyes and did not argue that she was not asleep. She continued to act as if she was still frightened and got off the car with them.
The car stopped in front of a gate with a sign that read "XXX Water Conservancy Affairs Bureau." However, once inside, the hall was prominently marked with the name "Special and Abnormal Affairs Processing Office," a typical example of "selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat."
Noticing Rong Zhen's surprised look, the woman in black explained, "This is to avoid causing panic. We've always handled all the strange and bizarre incidents we've encountered privately, keeping them hidden from the public. You'll also need to sign a confidentiality agreement."
So it’s not because they are informal that they come up with this form.
Rongzhen nodded in understanding.
As it was getting late, no one wanted to waste time, so the inquiry process and the filing process were quickly carried out in parallel.
Rongzhen originally thought that she would be asked questions such as name, age, ID number, etc. one by one as she remembered.
As a result, they just took out an instrument and took a picture of her face, and all the corresponding citizen information was displayed on the computer.
After confirming the identity, the next step is to truthfully tell everything that happened on the subway.
Rongzhen knew what they wanted, and told them in detail what happened after the original owner got on the subway and what happened after she arrived.
The three people on the opposite side listened, took notes, and analyzed the situation. When they heard that Piaopiao and the others had left without paying any attention to her, they couldn't help but pause and asked, "You said you just cried and cursed at them, and they left after the car door opened?"
Rong Zhen's face was slightly embarrassed. "It's not really a curse. I don't usually curse. I was just too sad at the time and cried so hard. They looked at me like that, which made me very uncomfortable. I couldn't help but yell at them angrily."
At that time, she didn't realize the other person's identity, otherwise she wouldn't dare to do that.
The three of them looked at each other, made a few notes thoughtfully, and motioned Rongzhen to continue.
There is nothing much to say about what happened next. After a detailed description, the woman in black brought her a confidentiality agreement and asked her to sign it, and then sent her home.
Rong Zhen glanced through the contents and signed the original owner's name.
The woman in black stared at her as she wrote the three words "Han Xiaozhen" without any hesitation, and then a real smile appeared in her eyes.
"Little girl, you are blessed with a long life. Don't run around outside so late in the future. You must pay attention to your personal safety. If you encounter something like this again, don't panic or be too scared. The more panicked and scared you are about some things, the more opportunities you give the other party to take advantage of you."
The woman in black drove her back and gave her some worried instructions along the way.
Rongzhen was not someone who didn't know what was good and what was bad. She accepted all the care from her elder sister and responded obediently all the way.
Perhaps because she behaved so well, the sister in black left her last name and contact information before leaving.
Her surname is Zhou, and she asked Rongzhen to call her Sister Zhou and to contact her if anything went wrong in the future.
Rongzhen took note and waved goodbye to the other person.
The roads in the urban village were narrow and difficult to navigate. Sister Zhou's car wobbled out of her sight, and gradually only the rear end of the car could be seen.
The lights on the roadside began to dim as the car left. A white-haired old lady appeared under the streetlight at some point. She turned towards Rong Zhen, who was about to enter the building doorway across the street, and said, "Hey, girl, have you seen my daughter?"
Rongzhen turned around and noticed the patched clothes on the old lady, and asked puzzledly, "Nannan?"
The old lady straightened her back and said proudly: "Nannan is my big white cat. I don't know where she ran away and she hasn't come home. My husband asked me to go out and look for her."
It was a cat again. Rongzhen became alert and shook her head, saying she didn't know. Then she turned around and hurried upstairs before the old lady spoke again.
Seeing her running so fast, the old lady muttered in dissatisfaction, "Isn't it said that asking other cats can easily find your own cat? Why is this little cat girl unwilling to help at all? Is it because I didn't bring any cat food as an offering?"
Fortunately, Rongzhen had run far away and didn't hear it, otherwise she would have been unable to climb the stairs.
The small house that the old lady left for the original owner is on the third floor. For an old house with only six floors in total, this location is pretty good.
The house is just too old. Not only is there no elevator, you have to walk up the stairs. The lights in the corridor flicker like the street lights outside, as if they are about to break down.
After realizing this, Rongzhen deliberately increased her pace and climbed to the second floor step by step. A football rolled in front of her feet.
The skinny little boy chased the ball from the darkness into the dim light. He stopped a few steps away from Rongzhen and smiled at her, "Sister, Mom bought me a new ball. Can you come play with me?"
"Sister is tired and needs to rest. You can play by yourself." Rongzhen handed him the football, along with a piece of chocolate that the original owner had put in her bag as dinner.
The little boy ate the chocolate but didn't argue. He just returned to the darkness with the ball in his arms.
Rongzhen quickened his pace and stepped onto the last step, took out the key from the canvas bag and opened the door.
As the door slammed shut, the quiet atmosphere outside suddenly became noisy. Sometimes there was the call of an old lady looking for her cat, sometimes the sound of a ball hitting the ground, and sometimes a few hoarse whispers.
"Oh, the girl that the thief woman kept is gone."
"No, it just got stained with something else outside."
"That's not a good thing. Once you get it on you, you can't get it off. Sooner or later you'll end up like us."
"No, no, she's just like the girl raised by the witch, otherwise why would the witch be so nice to her?"
"Will there be another girl in the building from now on? I hope she's not too naughty, otherwise hehe..."
"If you dare to set your sights on my daughter, be careful that the witch will tear you to pieces."
