"No, no, I was just saying..." The man gave an awkward laugh and waved his hand.
Does he have to be so impartial and incorruptible...?
They had been practicing together for at least a hundred or two hundred years. He was so badly injured that he was about to become disabled for life, yet he could still calmly recite the code of conduct for law enforcers to him.
This is just... so lacking in brotherly love.
Huo Fei stared at him coldly, unmoved. After a long while, he said coldly, "With such disregard for the rules, I will have the abbot revoke your law enforcement certificate."
"I know, I know, it was just an angry outburst."
"Go back and recover from your injuries."
Huo Fei said something, hailed a taxi outside the zoo, and left with the man. After they left, Yin Huan, who had been hiding, poked her little head out from the grass.
She flicked her tongue, staring blankly at the taxi that disappeared down the street, a look of confusion in her eyes: How come the scent emanating from that man with the broken leg was so similar to that of the white-haired man who left yesterday morning?
Silver Ring shook her head, feeling somewhat lost after descending the mountain.
It must be something wrong with the snake's tongue, otherwise, how could it have confused the scents of humans and mice?
No, I need to have my older brother examine her tongue after I see him.
——
In the stillness of the night, the dim streetlights illuminate the entire city.
At the zoo in the northwest corner of Penang, a small black and white striped snake is diligently slithering along the perimeter wall outside the park. She is alert and perceptive, constantly watching for any movement around her.
Silver Ring kept probing the snake's tongue, trying to find out if there were rat holes under the wall by the scent in the air.
Unfortunately, after climbing two laps, she still found nothing.
Silver Ring was a little confused!
This is not scientific... How can there not be a single hole?
Have all the rats died?
Silver Ring held her head high, her eyes tilted to the side, looking utterly dejected.
After a long while, she glared with her snake eyes, huffed and puffed, flicked her tail twice, and then darted up to the big tree outside the wall.
Hmph, no hole? Fine, no hole. This snake won't crawl into one.
This snake has switched to flying...
It's just a wall, right? I refuse to believe it can really stop her...
Silver Ring ran up to the tree in a huff, estimated the distance between the tree and the inside of the high wall, and then excitedly flicked its tongue.
Yes, it's very close. It's not even as long as her snake body. Flying over there would be an easy thing.
Silver Ring was overjoyed. She found a tree branch closest to the zoo, struck a pose, and flicked her little tail. Using the momentum, she darted towards the inside of the high wall in a flash.
"--ah!"
A cry of pain rang out. The snake, brimming with confidence and attempting to smuggle itself across the sky, suddenly plummeted from mid-air to the ground with a thud.
"......"
The silver-ringed snake poked at the swollen bump on its head with its tail, looking completely bewildered.
I think I just bumped into something.
She looked up, startled and confused, at the ceiling. Strange, what on earth had bumped into her just now?
Silver Ring shook her head, unwilling to give up. Once the pain in her head subsided, she decisively climbed the tree again.
Normally, she could easily leap across a distance the length of a snake's body; there's no reason she couldn't this time. Therefore, it must have been a mistake.
Silver Ring regrouped, assumed a fighting stance, and darted out once more.
—Smack!
A black and white rope appeared on the ground.
Silver Ring: "......."
Again!
Three minutes later, a black and white rope fell from the sky, startling the birds foraging outside the wall, which fluttered away.
Seven minutes later... Silver Ring felt a little dizzy and lightheaded.
An hour later...
Silver Ring lay motionless on the ground like a dead snake.
