The wind comes from the sea, carrying a strange fog through the pass, filling the entire dark town of Nice
"Where should we find the flowing cat?"
Catalina in front of the fire tilted her head and asked.
Near the coast, the strange fog that landed in the town of Nice came earlier. Without much time left, they only had time to search the main buildings.
The result was nothing.
Migrating people took with them everything they could.
All that is left for them is to try their luck: hoping to meet the flowing cat, or for him to show up on his own initiative.
Woo
The sea breeze blew through the abandoned town more violently, and the whine was mixed with the crisp sound of slapping the door.
"Have you hung up the badge?" Catalina looked at Pusius, who was squinting at the dancing flames.
"Uh... I remember I hung up..." Pusius' tone showed a lack of confidence.
Catalina got up and sighed helplessly. She followed Pusius to the door and looked back at the Evil Fall.
"There is nothing outside." Evil Fall opened the abyss and smiled maliciously.
Catalina undoubtedly hated this guy, but she had no doubt about it. After taking off the chair legs that served as door bolts, the wooden door was blown open by the strong wind, and the bright bonfire swayed dimly, with strange shadows swaying.
Squinting at the ancient emblem hanging on the wooden stubble on the wall, Catalina took it off after thinking about it.
A black shadow suddenly passed by his feet and rushed into the wooden house. Psius was so frightened that he screamed and hid behind the fire with his tail between his legs.
Lu Li looked up, and the black shadow fell on the edge, revealing the outline of a black cat.
Just a wild cat that only comes in to escape the sea breeze.
"It's black..."
Pusius watched timidly, wanting to go over and say hello but was afraid of being scratched in the face by the cat's claws.
The black cat hiding in the house does not have much divinity, its hair is withered and its body is thin, just like other wild cats.
Bang
Caterina pushed the door open and hung the bolt.
The low fire returned to its original state, and the cabin was filled with steady brightness.
Caterina walked to the window holding the ancient mark, printed it on the window, and pressed the jar against the back.
"A black cat came in, is it a coincidence?" Katerina buried the collapsed shelves and sat back by the fire.
The black cat lowered its head and licked its paws as if no one was around.
Compared to wild cats, they are outsiders.
"should."
Black cats are not uncommon. They have seen many of them whether in the town of Vigo, in the wild or in the town of Nice.
And this black cat is not a solid color, there is a tuft of white hair on its belly.
Katerina said nothing, opened the cans that were warming by the fire, and ate in silence.
Pusius volunteered to go to work and actually approached the black cat quietly. Although the pads of his paws were not as silent as the cat's, it was difficult to hear the sound of movement.
The black cat with keen sense stopped licking its fur when Pusius was still five or six meters away, and raised its head to stare at Pusius.
Pusius froze, pretending to look around, and dragged a few pieces of wood back from the pile of damaged shelves.
This grocery store was the last house they searched, so there would be no shortage of firewood.
"Just a little bit..." Pusius said disappointedly.
"You almost got scratched in the face by it?" Catalina sarcastically said with a smile.
"I mean no harm!" Pusius defended loudly.
"But cats don't like dogs."
When Pusius was sad and lost, a shadow suddenly fell on him.
The black cat in the corner followed him at some point, but ignored the bright-eyed Pusius, circled around Lu Li, gently rubbed his face against his pants, and squatted down.
Ignoring Pusius' envy, Lu Li picked out pieces of meat from the can and gave them to the wild cats.
"How much food do we have?" Catalina said after watching Lu Li's actions.
"Enough for one day tomorrow."
Pusius looked into the suitcase and saw that the cans were all inside.
"But unless we leave tomorrow morning, we won't be able to go back until at least the day after tomorrow."
It would take a whole day to travel, and even if we left at noon, we wouldn't have time to return to Weg Town before dark.
"Well...Mr. Businessman can bring food!"
Pusius, who had been pondering for a long time, finally thought of the merchant. For some unknown reason, it was always ignored inadvertently.
"It can't leave."
Caterina reminded Psius.
The merchant will return to the other world for a while to collect the goods, and Barry will appear at any time.
Although it may not follow them anymore.
Without thinking of a solution, the hut returned to silence.
The whining wind blew through the night-shrouded town, vaguely bringing strange noises.
The first person to hear the vague and strange noise was the black cat lying next to Lu Li, and then Pusius, who had been observing it, pricked up his ears.
The sound hidden under the wind gradually became clearer. It was like the roar of hundreds of wild cats or the rustling of sheep on the road.
Meow
The black cat lying next to him got up, walked to the wooden door, scratched the wooden door with his paws, and wanted to leave.
The people in front of the fire looked at each other, and Lu Li stood up and opened the door for it.
The wind surged into the house, bringing clearer sounds of cat meowing and chaotic rustling similar to footsteps, as well as a smell of rotten fish that was more fishy than the beach.
The black cat emerged from the crack in the door and disappeared into the mist in an instant.
"I'll go take a look."
Lu Li didn't close the door, went back and picked up the oil lamp, and pulled out a torch from the fire.
"I'll go with you."
"And me."
Pusius echoed Caterina.
Evil Fall made no comment and just pulled out a second torch from the fire.
They walked out of the wooden house and approached the upwind where the sound was coming from.
From time to time, a running wild cat would come and pass them, rushing into the darkness.
When he was close enough to the noisy noise, Evil Fall whispered: "It's weird ahead."
Lu Li, who was walking in front, stopped at this moment and raised his eyes to the side not far away.
A silhouette-black black cat squatted there. It was darker than darkness and more real than mist. It was sitting upright with elegance and mystery, like a lady or an elf.
The wildcats gathered around Him to protect Him like believers.
Lu Li suddenly threw the torch into the surging darkness ahead.
A small patch of darkness was dispersed, revealing everything that happened in the mist.
The rickety silhouette resembles a frog, a fish, and a human. They fight with wild cats. They have sharp claws, sharp teeth, and their claws hold bone blades.
The wild cats coming from all around pounced on the frogmen one after another. These cute and agile creatures were extremely fragile. They were bitten by sharp teeth, divided by sharp claws, and cut off by bone blades. But when they suffered disaster, the attacking frogmen would also
suffered the same injury.
The wildcat group, which suffered heavy casualties, killed hundreds of invading frogmen at the same cost, and everything returned to silence.
At this moment, the surrounded flowing cats walked lightly into the battlefield, and their slender tails, which were longer than the cat's body, caressed the corpses of the same kind.
The deformed chest bulges, the scattered limbs are adhered, the broken flesh and blood are reorganized, the dead cat is resurrected, and the surviving cats gather around the strange corpse, lowering their heads to bite and eat.
The noble and elegant black cat walked back into the light, approached Lu Li, and rubbed against Lu Li's trouser legs like an ordinary cat, its slender tail gently wrapped around his calf, and made a lazy and pleasant sound.
Catalina and others held their breath and watched the wonderful scene.
"Take me to Anna's place." Lu Li lowered his eyes and said.
The flowing cat left Lu Li and walked out with graceful movements of its limbs. Standing at the boundary between light and darkness, he stopped and looked back at Lu Li.
