Chapter 125

Calm down, calm down, don't be anxious, there's no point in being anxious at this time... Think carefully, think carefully.

Staring at the white parrot in the mirror, Xu Ming's throat moved slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the urge to move or speak.

[Stand in front of the mirror for a while, until you are sure you can leave before leaving] - Xu Ming felt that his understanding of this sentence should be correct. Now the parrot in the mirror obviously corresponds to himself, it is his reflection, and it is a wrong reflection.

Since it is wrong, it is obviously unwise to leave the mirror at this time... So Xu Ming guessed that maybe he should wait until his reflection is "normal" before moving.

From the current observation, his guess seems to be correct. As he stared longer, the outline of the parrot in the mirror seemed to fade a little...

...At this moment, the "cat's" panting was getting closer.

After all, it was not a real cat, and it did not move so silently. Xu Ming held his breath and stood there. He could clearly hear the sound of the guy's joints turning, which sounded a little irritating, like gears that had not been oiled for a long time.

...Faster. Faster. Faster.

As the "cat" got closer, Xu Ming's heartbeat became faster and faster. At this moment, the outline of the parrot in the mirror has faded very clearly, but almost at the same time, the reflection of the "cat" also appeared clearly in the reflection of the mirror - Xu Ming glanced at its reflection and immediately took a breath of courtesy.

With this hunting posture, she didn't think that this guy was going to come over to her to get close to her and eat her belly.

- As if echoing her thoughts, the next moment, she saw the "cat" in the mirror open its mouth and scream, and then it jumped straight towards her!

"Damn it!" Xu Ming cursed instinctively and could only hide to the side in a hurry. However, the moment her sight completely left the mirror, she felt that something was wrong -

her vision suddenly widened, and the world she saw became even more chaotic. The originally simple furniture was suddenly stained with large patches of bright colors, and there were extremely impactful colors everywhere; to make matters worse, she clearly felt that her body had become a lot lighter in an instant... and

her body was also getting smaller. Her feet shrank and left the ground. Her body lost balance and fell to the ground uncontrollably, splashing a pile of white down.

Xu Ming: "..."

I knew it!

Why did the rules specifically emphasize that cats eat birds? So I am the bird!

What is going on in this damn place? Either they can't see, or they rush over as soon as they see something?

Before Xu Ming could think about it, she heard the sound of the "cat's" joints turning rapidly behind her. Before she could think about it, she quickly got up from the ground and flapped her wings to try to flutter. However, her wings were so clumsy that they looked like prosthetic limbs and could not even turn. In a hurry, she could only spread her wings and drag them on the ground, jumping hard on the ground while dragging.

"Wait, what's going on?"

In her mind, the whale man was still standing there with a lot of questions in his mind. Because it was a long-distance communication, it couldn’t see what was happening on Xu Ming’s side, and could only read a little from the chaotic thoughts flying through Xu Ming’s mind. So it was like an old mobile phone with only 10% of its memory left. Xu Ming had already run out of half of the living room before it finally understood the situation -

"What, you can see?"

"What, you turned into a bird?"

"What, you are being chased by a cat???"

"Keep going!" Xu Ming said in her mind unhappily, "Catch up! If you work harder, you can report the death to me in time!"

As she spoke, the "cat" behind her had already come over again. Xu Ming turned quickly and flapped her wings twice in a row, finally avoiding the attack, but her tail was still caught a little, and several feathers fell down.

Fortunately, she now had some idea of ​​how to use her wings. After landing, she flapped her wings hard again, held her breath, and really flew up a little, drawing a low line in the air, and landed safely on the back of the sofa.

"No, it's no use hiding on the sofa." At this moment, the whale man really caught up with the progress and gave Xu Ming a sincere suggestion, "You are facing a cat..."

Even though it looks far from being related, its setting is indeed a "cat".

Indoors, trying to hide from a cat by standing high, isn't this a joke.

"I know." Xu Ming responded helplessly, and looked at the "cat" under the sofa vigilantly, his fur bursting with tension.

Fortunately, the opponent did not seem to intend to jump up directly at this moment, but lowered his body again, staring upwards, as if he was gathering strength for the next round of pounce; his face, which was already slightly perverted due to the deformation, now even had a smile that was hard to ignore.

The corners of his mouth were grinning upwards, as if he felt happy from the bottom of his heart. Xu Ming met its eyes, and a terrible chill suddenly seeped out along the roots of her feathers.

...Malice. Excited malice.

She suddenly realized this clearly.

This "cat" is not an animal that really knows nothing. It may not be unaware that it is not a real bird. But even if it is true, it will do everything it can to kill itself.

It's not because of hunger or anything else. It's just because it wants to kill, and it happens to be the prey allowed by the rules, that's all.

To put it bluntly, it's still... the action mode of a monster.

The question is, where did such a monster come from? This kind of mannequin can be seen everywhere, in the parking lot, the pig-faced maze, and even the "shared rental house" where Qiu Yufei used to live. What is this malicious thing...

The terrible fact made Xu Ming's already depressed heart sink a little again. However, now was not the time to think about this. She had to gather her thoughts and make full use of the bird's wide field of vision to observe the surroundings as quickly as possible, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

To fundamentally solve the current situation, the only hope is to return to the mirror again - the last time he looked in the mirror, he turned from a human into a bird. If you take the photo again, there may be a chance of reversal.

The thing is, looking in the mirror takes time. And this cat clearly didn't have the patience to wait for him to slowly torment himself. Or you can lure the cat to a certain place and lock it up to buy yourself time. But now that you are like this, let alone closing the door, the doorknob can't turn...

Then you can only settle for the next best thing. There are two solutions to this problem

. First, lure the cat to the room where the starling is, kick the starling's cage and divert the trouble to the other side. Second, try to fly to the restaurant and let the dog deal with the cat.

As for the question of whether the dog is there now, Xu Ming did not consider it at all. He already has a cat, so will the dog be far away?

... But it is hard to say whether the bird is there.

After all, the rules also mentioned that there can only be one of each kind of animal in the house.

A parrot is a bird, and a mynah bird is also a bird. Now that he has become a "bird", it is really hard to say whether the mynah bird is still there.

In other words, comparing the two, it is more reliable to run to the restaurant - but the other note found before has been lingering in Xu Ming's mind.

[The dog is crazy and the cat is barking. Remember, don't stimulate the cat and stay away from the dog.]

... I don't know whether the content on the note is true or not. But if it is true, it is definitely not wise to run to the restaurant.

"Or maybe you don't have to find a dog?" The blubber man gave Xu Ming another idea, "You can try pretending to be a dog?"

Xu Ming: "......???"

"Learn to bark like a dog." The blubber man's tone was very serious, "As the saying goes, it is very important to master a foreign language."

Xu Ming: "..."

It was inexplicable. But it seemed to make some sense.

Seeing that the "cat" under the sofa was getting restless again, Xu Ming's feathers swelled up nervously again, and she realized that she had to seize the time.

And between finding a dog and imitating a dog, she finally made up her mind completely -

"Gugu." Xu Ming cleared her throat as calmly as possible. Fortunately, her bird transformation did not seem to be particularly complete. At least her tongue and mouth were still familiar to her - although from the outside, it was not the case at all.

Ahem. Very good, the throat can be used. Then, just imitate the sound as best as possible...

Xu Ming calmed down, held his breath, and finally opened his mouth——

"Congratulations on getting rich! Congratulations on getting rich!"

...? !

The moment the words came out, Xu Ming froze again. Almost at the same time, the sound of joints turning came from below again—

the "cat" seemed to be stimulated by the sound she made, and with a roar, it rushed up again!

"!" Xu Ming was startled, and before he could think about it, he flapped his wings and flew up. While trying to stabilize his body in the air, he exclaimed frantically at the whale man in his heart, "What's going on! What's going on!" Whale

Man: "..." No, I don't know even if you ask me!

"Maybe the language module has been changed?" It tried to give a reasonable explanation for everything, "Just like the cat's meow is a meow, your call is set to 'Gong Xi Fa Cai'..."

Xu Ming: "..." Later, she remembered the last four words "Gong Xi Fa Cai" written on the living room rule paper, and immediately wanted to curse.

But she couldn't curse. Even if she cursed, it would be "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

"Compared to this, think about what to do now!" The voice of the whale man called Xu Ming back to his thoughts in time, "Are you still planning to fly to the restaurant?"

Xu Ming: "..."

Thanks to the excellent vision of birds, she can see the surrounding situation clearly without turning her head. She was still circling low in the air. She was flying, but in fact she was only a hopping distance away from the "cat"; the latter was also trying to jump upwards, and several times, its claws almost reached Xu Ming's chest and abdomen.

Xu Ming pulled his body up as much as he could, but it was obvious that he couldn't hold out for long. His eyes quickly glanced at the restaurant door that was half the length of the living room away. Xu Ming's eyelids trembled slightly, and his heartbeat was violently beating in his small chest.

"Forget it." After another half a second, the whale man heard her voice, "We have to take risks anyway, so we might as well go for the big one."

The whale man: "......?"

Xu Ming did not explain further, but just spun in the air with all his strength, flying high and low in another direction.

Because he didn't read any relevant thoughts, the whale man fell into confusion again. Xu Ming's goal was very clear - at the end of her line of sight, there was a large area of ​​clean French windows.

One of the windows was opened by herself not long ago, and it was wide open and had not been closed yet.

So, a dozen seconds later -

a white ball flew out of the wide-open window crookedly, shouting "Congratulations and prosperity" heartbreakingly, while struggling in the air with all its strength; the next second, another huge shadow jumped out of the window like lightning! The

deformed fingers stretched upward at an angle, and the fingertips were hooked nails, almost poking the parrot's soft belly - but in the end, it didn't poke it.

Xu Ming tried to lift his body up a little bit, and his nails just happened to brush past and wipe off a few more hairs; the next second, his eyes, which were originally immersed in excitement, widened in shock, and the nails that were almost able to reach fell straight down -

accompanied by a scream, the huge shadow fell straight down again! The

adult-sized figure fell into a small dot in just a moment, and Xu Ming, who was still flapping his wings in the air, closed his eyes involuntarily while looking at the distant and quiet ground below.

The whale fat man in her mind was giving her advice again:

"You should say now, you are stupid, sister can fly!"

"...get lost." Xu Ming tried hard to restrain the instinctive weakness of her legs, and used up her last bit of strength to move herself to the eaves of the window and uttered a word.

Of course, what others hear is still "Congratulations on your prosperity".
