In the darkness, a system prompt suddenly appeared in the upper right corner.
At this moment, the sound of the old projector rotating sounded in the players' ears.
A mottled logo presents the player's vision. The rough, jittery, and flickering noise image resembles a film film from the early days of the 20th century film industry.
A majestic male lion appears in the center of the logo and roars. As a cheerful symphony plays, the opening sequence fades away.
The screen lights up again, and what is presented to the player is a... cartoon full of contemporary feel.
An upright, anthropomorphic blue-gray short-haired cat with legs that rotate exaggeratedly like wheels is catching an equally upright, anthropomorphic brown-haired mouse with legs that rotate exaggeratedly like wheels.
The rapid symphony highlights the tension of this capture battle.
【This is Tom】
An old and deep narration voice sounded at this time.
The distance between them is getting closer, and Tom's upper body leans forward, getting longer and longer as if falling into a black hole, and the long shadow covers the fleeing mouse.
But just when Tom was about to catch the mouse, a wall appeared in front of them. The mouse rushed into the mouse hole in the wall, and Tom, who couldn't react in time, ran straight into the wall——
Bang!!!
A swarm of stars appeared, and in the exaggerated style of painting, Tom's head retracted into his chest, leaving only a flat surface and he turned to the camera, blinking his eyes dully a few times.
【A cat who wants to catch Jerry but keeps failing.】
The scene changed, and Tom walked to his mistress with his head and eyelids drooping dejectedly.
She was so tall that the camera couldn't capture her entire body. Only her thick lower body in a red floral dress was exposed.
At this time, the slippers were stepping on each other, scolding Tom who came to his feet.
[This is its mistress, a housewife who can beat ten strong men of the same age.]
Tom blinked slowly and feebly, as if he had aged dozens of years.
"ah--!!!"
A high-decibel scream suddenly sounded, and the hostess grabbed the kitchen utensils and threw them out - it turned out that the mouse Jerry was pushing a sausage towards the mouse hole.
Tom suddenly became energetic and rushed towards Jerry to the funny soundtrack.
But a pot fell from the sky and hit Tom on the head. Before it could run far away, tableware fell one after another.
Dang——bang——ding——
Three Trumpet Jerrys appeared above Tom's head and spun around. Tom fell to the ground with stars in his eyes.
The hostess's legs appeared in the camera, and the slipper was still stepping on it, accusing the incompetent Tom.
[The only things that scare her are full-price products and mice.]
The hostess cursed angrily for a while, then turned and left. Only Tom was left who slowly got up and became dejected again.
[Poor Tom was given an ultimatum. If he couldn't catch the mouse again, he would be kicked out of the house.]
A burst of ridicule came from outside the screen. Tom raised his eyelids and saw Jerry standing on the windowsill, pointing at Tom and laughing loudly.
Tom shook his head, throwing away his decadence and staleness, and turned into a clean-spirited short-haired cat and pounced towards Jerry.
Jerry stopped laughing, jumped down from the window sill, took out a pair of binoculars and watched Tom draw an arc above his head and rush out of the window.
There was a clanging sound outside the window.
Jerry ran up to the window sill, waved to Tom who had fallen into the trash can with only one leg hanging out, and proudly walked back to the mouse hole with his chest raised.
Three thin wild cats that looked cunning and cunning, and one short wild cat as short as a kitten emerged from their respective trash cans.
The leading black-haired cat fished out the decadent Tom from the trash can and took away the banana peel and smelly socks from his head.
Tom glanced at their companions listlessly, sighed heavily like a balloon deflating, and countless images flashed through his mind.
Being stuffed into a vase takes the shape of a vase;
Being punched by Jerry's cousin and smashed through the wall;
Getting your toes caught in a sharp mousetrap;
A date with his beloved cat ruined by Jerry;
Being pecked by a hen, bitten by a bulldog, blown up by firecrackers, and scared to death——
【Oh, weak and helpless Tom】
The four wild cats looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces made them synonymous with treachery. The black stray cat hugged Tom and whispered in his ear.
[As Tom’s fair-weather friends, you have the responsibility to help Tom complete the tasks assigned by his mistress and continue to live in this family.]
Listening to the words in his ear, Tom inflated his body again, nodding his head with joy.
The scene gradually darkened, and the last narration sounded in everyone's ears.
[Before the hostess comes home from get off work after dark.]
After a few seconds, the players felt the presence of the body and their vision returned.
Their claws turned into furry cat claws, and their bodies and surroundings exuded a sour smell like garbage.
Looking at each other, Musu and others turned into the appearance of the four wild cats. The black stray cat with the name Transparent Bridge above its head was holding Tom's shoulders.
Mu Su is an orange-red cat, Jun Mo Xiao is a dark brown cat, and poor Wen Xiang is the short light gray kitten like a kitten.
Wen Xiang looked around strangely. The animation-style scene made her feel fresh.
On the other side, Tom, who had received assistance, puffed up his chest and walked back to the front door of the house with the drumbeats playing in the background.
Transparent Bridge looked away and said to the three "cat" companions: "The crust of the Andrew Basin of Mars is moving, and she can't come."
Mu Su was in shock from morning to night: "How did she die!"
Transparent Bridge sighed and said: "She is fine, but she is not suitable for playing games for the time being."
What Mu Su was about to say was interrupted by a sudden mission.
