Chapter 144: Looking for Han Xiaozhen Meow Meow is recovering from injuries
That night was indeed peaceful, as if the life-and-death battle had never happened.
Rongzhen took the opportunity to hide at home and lick his wounds. Suddenly, an idea came to him and he tried to guide the strange energy in his body to the wound.
The torn wound not only stopped bleeding instantly, but also quickly relieved the pain. New flesh grew visibly amid the numbness and itching, causing the wound to close and form a scab, ultimately leaving behind a pink scar.
Rongzhen licked the scar with his cat tongue, and his eyes sparkled.
It was a blessing in disguise. After becoming familiar with superpowers and improving her combat capabilities, she also learned a life-saving skill.
Thanks to Squidward, this contribution is really awesome.
Next, she used this method to heal all the injuries on her body, and she was busy all night long, until dawn.
At this time, although she looked very dirty with mottled fur and scars all over her body, and was a bit ugly, she was actually healed inside. The whole cat was revived with full blood, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
She still remembered that when she was a child in that life before she traveled through time, her mother said that cats were animals with long lives, and as long as they could eat, they would basically be fine.
The world is different now, but the principles should still be the same.
After consuming so much energy last night and being busy all night, Rongzhen decided to reward herself.
For example, last night I wanted to make teppanyaki takoyaki, but the fresh ingredients were already there, so I couldn’t waste them.
Rong Zhen, whose mind was dominated by cat instincts, thought so as a matter of course. He was about to go to the entrance to drag the octopus corpse thrown there back to the kitchen for disposal, but the moment he turned around and saw the human corpse, he woke up, bent over and retched a pool of yellow water.
Why didn't she think of it!
The residents of this building were all human beings in their previous lives. Even if they had pets, they would not be octopuses. Who would keep an octopus as a pet?
So it is very likely that Squidward is just like her, accidentally infected by a monster and mutated.
He is a human, not a fish. Did she kill someone last night?
Rongzhen looked dazed, but when she thought of something, her broken mood became firm again.
No, Squidward is no longer a human being. He has long since transformed from a human into a monster, a monster that attacked her and wanted to kill her and devour her.
It was right for her to fight back, and it was even more right for her to try her best to kill a monster!
But there is no need to eat it. I can't get over the hurdle in my heart, and I don't want to torture my stomach.
But what should I do with it? It feels so disgusting to just leave it at home like this.
"Mom Lou, do you want it?" Rongzhen asked Lao Lou on a whim.
It's too much trouble for a little kitten like her to deal with a human corpse. Why not give it to Lao Lou?
After all, it is a strange corpse with strange energy, right? She is superstitious about it being transformed from a human, but the ghost building is not necessarily the same.
In nature, there are animals that eat their own offspring, let alone the even more bizarre and strange world of ghost stories.
I guess Lou Ma doesn't mind, right?
The old man really doesn't mind.
Not long after Rongzhen finished speaking, Laolou accepted the child's gift without hesitation after confirming that she really wanted to give the spoils to him.
The body of Squidward, who turned back into a human after his death, slowly melted and deformed, and was finally absorbed by the floor.
In less than five minutes, nothing was left at the scene except the lingering smell of blood.
Rongzhen:……!
So this is how Lao Lou eats. Will he swallow her one day?
The shock she felt at this moment rekindled her urge to move somewhere else.
Since the neighbors in the building are so fierce and covetous of her, and she is still in the growth stage, relatively weak and easy to be bullied, in order to prevent them from uniting and besieging her one day, she might as well move away and hide to develop quietly, and then come back to get revenge when she becomes stronger.
According to Rong Zhen's original plan, she had thought of continuing to live here and getting the protection of the old building. Even if the plot came later and the monsters attracted by the heroine came to her house and wanted to take her out on her, the old building and neighbors would block them, so she would be fine and might even be able to take advantage of the situation and benefit from it.
Who knew that before the plot point arrived, the bullying from the neighbors came first.
Then it’s better not to stay here.
With the plan of moving away later, Rongzhen no longer had any concerns and started looking for food everywhere with her rumbling stomach.
You wouldn’t know until you turned it over, and you discovered that the original owner had hidden quite a few snacks, including instant noodles, sausages, compressed biscuits, and canned fruits.
Rongzhen doesn't care whether it's expired or not. Anything that smells edible will disappear in her cat's mouth at the speed of light.
As they were eating, it was dawn. Secretary Yao woke up early and saw the message she sent in the middle of the night. His face changed drastically.
She quickly contacted Rong Zhen, but no one answered the phone. After she persistently called several times, a strange male voice finally answered the phone: "What are you doing? Are you calling for the soul?!"
The other party's voice was rough and unpleasant, with a sense of irritability. Secretary Yao almost felt dizzy after hearing it, and his face looked even worse.
Secretary Yao: "This is my friend Han Xiaozhen's phone number. How did you get it? Where is she? I want to find her!"
"I don't know, maybe he's dead." The man muttered and hung up the phone.
When Secretary Yao called again, the phone was turned off.
This made her even more anxious. She turned around twice, and the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger. Finally, she could not bear it any longer and called the police.
She still had to go to work, and she didn't dare go to Ji Yue to look for someone for fear of falling into a trap, so she could only call the police for help.
After receiving her request, the police station said they would send the nearest police officer to check her friend's residence first.
As for the matter involving Ji Yue, they will pay attention to it.
In fact, the truth is that the news of Ji Yue's accident has spread among them, and the initiative has long been in the hands of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau. The police station has no authority to intervene and no ability to handle it.
Therefore, if it is finally verified that this suspected missing case is indeed related to Ji Yue, they will report it truthfully and hand it over to the Abnormal Affairs Bureau for handling.
There is no need to tell the other party about this confidential information, so as to avoid causing panic if it gets out.
Soon, plainclothes police officers received the task and rushed to the old building in the urban village.
Before this, a security guard in the temporary detention room of Jiyue Group in the suburbs had just hung up Secretary Yao's phone call looking for someone when he was reported by a colleague who had pricked up his ears and heard the noise next door. The colleague told the guards outside that he was secretly passing information to the outside.
This security guard had already witnessed the working style of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau in the second half of last night, so how could he dare to do anything under their noses? Besides, it wasn't worth it.
He hurriedly protested his innocence, handed over the confiscated mobile phone that he had hidden on his body, and defended himself.
When the guard checked the phone, he found their team leader's contact information on it. His expression suddenly became serious and he handed the phone to Sister Zhou.
Sister Zhou felt that the phone looked familiar, so she called Secretary Yao's number and found out that the phone belonged to Han Xiaozhen, who had secretly tipped them off.
So where was she? I was busy cleaning up the weirdos and cleaning up the garbage, so I didn't see her at the scene and thought she had slipped out early.
Sister Zhou immediately asked someone to go find him and interrogate the person who took out the phone.
The guard was about to cry: "How do I know? He might have been burned to death, or he might have escaped by luck."
At the same time, two plainclothes police officers came to the old building in the urban village and knocked on the door of Rong Zhen's house amid the strange and curious gazes of everyone in the building.
"Ms. Han Xiaozhen, are you home?" the plainclothes officers asked loudly, flashing their identification through the peephole. "I'm an officer from the nearby police station. Your friend, Ms. Yao, couldn't reach you and is worried something might have happened to you, so we came to check on you."
After a moment, there was no response from inside the house and the door remained motionless.
Rongzhen actually heard everything and was touched by Sister Yao's quick reaction, but it was a pity that she was not in a suitable condition to show up.
If she scared anyone, or if the neighbors outside saw that she was still very weak, all her future plans would be ruined.
She doesn't need human police, and human police can't help her, so why ask them to get involved in this mess?
After knocking for a long time without any response, the two plainclothes officers outside the door contacted the bureau to report the matter, then turned and went downstairs, where they ran into the three old lame men who came with their apprentices to continue painting Dabai.
The plainclothes officers stopped them and wanted to ask them for some information. However, as soon as they mentioned it, the old lame man's expression changed slightly and he kept waving his hands to refuse. He took his two apprentices and just buried his head in his work without saying anything else.
With such an evasive attitude, I don’t believe that there is no trick at all.
The plainclothes officers had plenty of ways to make the old lame man talk, but in the end they could only get a single word out of his mouth as he looked terrified.
"There's something fishy going on in this building!"
“?!!”
His expression changed immediately, and he changed into plain clothes. Thinking back to how he had just felt in the building, feeling like he was being watched by countless eyes, yet he never saw anyone. Could it be that it wasn't an illusion, but that something was really spying on them from the dark?!
This is no longer something that ordinary police officers can handle, so report it immediately.
The matter was reported to the Abnormal Affairs Bureau layer by layer, and in Ji Yue's case, it was handed over to Zhou Jie's team.
Sister Zhou was so busy that she was dizzy. When she heard the news, she immediately asked her subordinates, "Have the captain and Xiao Wang returned from their business trip?"
The subordinate understood and flipped through the record book and said, "Yes, we just received news that the captain and Xiao Wang have just entered the city. They are currently estimated to be passing through the nearest urban village."
Sister Zhou said decisively, "Hurry up and ask the captain to stop by that old building and see if Han Xiaozhen is home. We're already busy enough here and can't spare any more manpower to go there to investigate. So I'll ask the captain to help and ask Xiao Wang to be more diligent."
Xiao Wang received the message and asked the captain for instructions.
Captain Zhao was dozing in the back seat, but when he heard about this, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Yes, let's go!"
The black car then turned into the urban village at a fork in the road and followed the winding cement road all the way to the old building.
Xiao Wang was left in the car, and Captain Zhao went down alone. He first saw the three masters and apprentices busy working in front of the building.
"Who told you to do this?" Captain Zhao's low voice was chilling, which frightened the old lame man so much that he shivered. He and his two apprentices stopped and stood there at a loss as to what to do.
Captain Zhao repeated the question expressionlessly.
The old lame man answered tremblingly: "Yes, it's a little girl who asked us to come and renovate the facade of this building. There is also an old lady supervising the work, who is over there..." He pointed to the doorway where the old lady liked to stay, and his expression was stunned.
The strange old lady who was there just a few minutes ago is now gone.
The old lame man immediately shut his mouth and dared not say anything more.
Fortunately, Captain Zhao didn't pursue the matter any further, but instead asked them a very down-to-earth question: "Have you been paid for your work?"
The old lame man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I gave it to you. A few days ago, the little girl used her phone to transfer money to us. Yesterday, after work, she didn't come back, so the old lady who was supervising gave us a gold ring on her behalf. It's worth several days' wages."
The old man was very cunning. He knew that there was something unusual about the building and that the people inside were up to something, so he agreed in advance that he would do the work but would not accept paper money.
The paper money may be useless if taken out, but even if the gold ring is a burial item, it is still gold and can still be exchanged for money.
Captain Zhao didn't care about his secret calculations. After learning that they had been paid, he let them continue working.
He walked upstairs by himself and came to the front door of Rongzhen's house in the silence, even dead silence. He noticed that there were traces of fighting in front of the door, probably last night, and there were also traces of attacks on the door, which happened just now.
Just after the two plainclothes officers left, the neighbors who were secretly watching with ulterior motives saw that Rongzhen did not come out and smelled a strong smell of blood coming from inside the door. They guessed that even if she had defeated Squidward last night, she must have been seriously injured, so she couldn't even show up now.
As a result, many guys couldn't help but start to get restless, wanting to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The marks on the door were left by their attempts, but they were blocked by the yellow talisman in the house.
But the effect of the yellow talisman is not permanent. If they attack together, the protective formation formed by the yellow talisman will be broken sooner or later.
By then, Rongzhen would be in danger, attacked by everyone and it would be difficult for her to escape.
She was listening to the noise outside in the house, feeling extremely anxious. She had already found a place to hide when the door was broken down. Suddenly, the attack stopped, and a slow and light sound of footsteps appeared, stopping outside her door.
The neighbors who had just been yelling at her to come out and attacking her door were all as quiet as chickens, not even breathing.
It can be seen how terrifying the visitor is!
So far, among all the people Rongzhen has met, there is only one who can reach this level.
Thinking of that person's identity, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and she suddenly had a very bad premonition.
No, no way?
After three rhythmic knocks on the door, "dong, dong, dong," she heard the familiar accent of the person she expected.
"Are you home? I'm coming in."
Rongzhen: “……!”
