Ronald blinked the gray bean eyes with different colors from Patricia, and was stunned for a few seconds before he realized.
——This situation is really reasonable.
In those wild picture book worlds, not to mention a cat, a dog, even a stone, or a river, they can show anthropomorphic state and then communicate with humans at a logical level.
Ronald turned his head and took a last look. The man in the hotel who was still repeating his line "I'm at work" turned around and came to the black kitten he had just spoken and squatted down and said:
"Little guy, I think we can reach a cooperation."
"It's rare to see a human as smart as you, come with me!"
After the simple negotiation, the black kitten lay on the ground and stretched out his body, then jumped gently and squatted on Ronald's shoulder.
At this time, it used its furry claws to scratch Ronald's hair to make it as comfortable as possible, while the other claw pointed directly to the side:
"Detective, look here."
"Follow this road to the east, and bypass a few turns, we will see the pancake shop."
"Okay." Ronald nodded slightly.
He waved to Patricia behind him, and the two of them walked east along the street.
...
Soon, the first obstacle appeared in front of the two cats.
A group of cartoon-style passers-by surrounded the middle of the road, blocking the road ahead.
"What are they doing?"
Ronald walked up to check it out with doubts.
In the center surrounded by these Springs citizens is a clearing ground, where a pure white haired lion is still muttering:
"I've seen a ghost!"
"When you human celebrations, why do you let me, an animal, perform for the human queen? I want to perform for the lioness in the zoo! Strike! I want to strike! I want to rest! Even if I give me a few more pieces of meat!
I won’t go to work even if I eat, it’s really unreasonable!”
“…”
Ronald looked at the scene silently, then pushed the ordinary citizen who was watching the lion strike in front of him.
——Don't move at all.
Ronald was already very hard, but the other party did not move even a centimeter, and even looked back at Ronald's movements did not exist.
This situation is like a notice when the art of perfection is unfolded.
The city has now become a maze, and these blocked roads are like dead ends in the maze. It is impossible to pass through directly besides choosing other directions to find the road.
"Ronard, what's going on?"
At this time, Patricia followed from behind.
Looking at the scene that happened on the familiar street in front of her, the girl's eyes were obviously a little confused. In Patricia's life, neither the education received as a nobleman nor the education received as a swordsman, she did not deal with this.
Guiding ideology for various situations.
Ronald immediately explained:
"Now we are probably in a maze, where we are blocked from the road, we can only find ways to get around."
Hearing Ronald's explanation, Patricia pointed to the other wall with some uncertainty:
"Around it... are you talking about there?"
Ronald looked in the direction Patriotica pointed.
It was a ladder mounted on the edge of the wall, which could lead directly to the roof of the row of apartments here.
——In the maze picture book.
——This is the very common correct path!
"That's it, let's go!"
Ronald's expression was cheered.
This is actually just right.
The road he was directed by the kitten on his shoulder just now was focused on leading the way forward; while Patricia just followed her forward, so she naturally had the time to observe the situation around her, thus discovering this path in advance.
The two of them immediately followed the ladder to the roof.
The terrain here is also very distinctive.
The irregular buildings are connected by wooden boards like single-timber bridges. At the end of the eaves or roofs is the dead end of the maze, and the entire area covers most of the residential areas.
Ronald tried to jump straight from the roof here to the ground.
But even if this action is done, he will still be bounced back to his original position by an invisible wall of air.
Just like when I was a child, I looked at those mazes on paper.
Here you can only act in a specified position.
——But there is a way to go.
In the past, the east was to break through the core of the maze, Ronald took Patricia's roof maze back and forth, and it took more than seven or eight minutes before returning to the ground from a tree staircase surrounding the chimney.
Smack-
At this time, the black kitten on Ronald's shoulder jumped down by itself and went into a shop without looking back.
Take a look in the direction where the kitten left.
This is their destination - the Palso Pancake Shop.
There is no need to consider queuing in the world of picture books. Ronald took a few turns in a long queue and successfully entered the pancake shop.
Then, a scream came into his ears:
"Oh, help!"
"I don't want to be eaten by this cat!"
Ronald turned his head and saw a pancake with a cartoon face, crying and being held in his mouth by the black kitten just now, and then dragged it on the ground to the corner of the counter.
Although the pancake cries were very loud.
However, neither the customers in the store, the clerk, or the black kitten that wanted to enjoy it, obviously had no idea to save this guy from the sea of bitterness.
“…”
While Ronald was silent, the staff at the shop counter shouted at Ronald:
"Mr. Detective, are you going to eat our pancakes?"
Ronald replied with a very submissive feeling:
"Actually, I'm investigating a case. The murderer should have bought pancakes from you today!"
"That's a coincidence!" The owner of the pancake shop replied in a very exaggerated tone. "When the store just opened this morning, a group of suspicious guys came to me to buy pancakes!"
"While this group of people were queuing up, I saw them holding tickets from the port area. If you walk to the west of the city, you will definitely catch them!"
“…”
Ronald immediately understood and bypassed a simple and easy-to-understand standard trap.
If he does not follow the rules of this game, but goes directly to the gate of the border forest area to leave the city, then even if he is blocked on the road to leave the city, he will definitely be a complete failure.
Only by following the prompts and reaching the port area through the entire Springs is the only option to catch up with the fugitives.
Ronald nodded and expressed his gratitude to the owner of the pancake shop.
Looking back, the black kitten just now was still stuck on the side of the counter of the pancake shop.
Then it seemed as if I felt Ronald looking at it with his bean eyes.
The cute little guy stopped the process of enjoying the pancakes, raised his paws and pointed outside:
"If you want to go west."
"You can find my relatives in the commercial area, and it is very familiar with it."
