Seeing Bai Jing walking out of the alley, the black cat meowed.
Its cry naturally attracted Bai Jing's attention. Bai Jing turned her head and looked up, her expression showing confusion.
What she wondered was not why the black cat appeared here, but why she didn't perceive the existence of the black cat after she had anima vision.
Don't black cats have anima?
No, even the stray dogs on the roadside have anima, the difference is just small.
So there is something wrong with this black cat?
"Black cat? Ding Ke's one? What's your name?"
The corners of Ding Ke's mouth twitched. He sat up, pinched his beard, and thought carefully about how to answer Bai Jing's question.
After thinking about it for a long time, there is no good answer.
But it was its humane movements that aroused Bai Jing's curiosity.
"You look pretty smart."
"Does who I am... mean anything to you?"
Bai Jing stared at the black cat and was stunned for a moment. She didn't bother to clean the blood on her hands and immediately asked:
"Did you speak? Did you really speak?"
"Are you deaf?"
Ding Ke wouldn't coddle Bai Jing, not even Xu Le, let alone a dark seed.
"Um, sorry, I've just never seen a talking cat, so..."
Seeing the eloquent black cat in front of her, Bai Jing's talent for brainstorming came into play immediately.
The ability Xu Le taught her is the power of darkness.
And Xu Le's cat is a black cat, a talking black cat.
So, is this guy a dark messenger or something like that?
Yes, that's right, that must be the case.
So Black Cat came today to tell her something important to carry out? Is this an order from Ding Ke?
"Lord Black Cat, is there anything you want to tell me when you come here today?"
"No, I'm here to buy dried fish, I'm just passing by."
Although Ding Ke was telling the truth, it was absolutely impossible for Bai Jing to believe such rhetoric at this time.
In her mind, when Ding Ke came to such a corner, there must be some ulterior secret.
She might still be a little reluctant to let go of that man.
But facing a black cat, Bai Jing has already let herself go a little bit.
"Isn't it convenient for Mr. Black Cat to say it? It's okay, I can understand."
Meow?
Ding Ke wasn't quite sure what this woman could understand, but in short, it seemed that her brainstorming ability was definitely first-rate.
Just as he was about to leave, Bai Jing suddenly stopped Ding Ke.
This made Ding Ke feel very surprised. Could the woman in front of him want to fight with it?
It's a bit overestimating one's abilities.
Meow?
Ding Ke looked at Bai Jing with a slight doubt. Ding Ke's cat face looked a little serious, which made Bai Jing feel even more majestic.
She began to express her thoughts.
"Lord Black Cat, I just... used darkness to spread pollution."
Meow! Ding Ke was shocked, and suddenly realized the true meaning of what Xu Le said, the person who spreads darkness can never be himself.
"You said you spread darkness?"
"Yes, I used darkness to pollute those who followed me, immersing and shrouding them in darkness. I don't know if this is the right choice.
I just think...I should say this."
Ding Ke's fleshy brows furrowed.
"If you feel you should do it, then don't doubt it, just keep doing it."
"Can I take it that...this is the envoy's approval?"
"No matter what you do, it's your own choice, meow!" Ding Ke could hardly hold himself any longer.
However, after Bai Jing finished chatting, she had no intention of continuing to entangle with Ding Ke. She just stood in front of the black cat and bowed deeply.
"I understand, Lord Black Cat, I will continue and stick to the path I am on."
"Yes, the key is persistence, meow!"
Ding Ke finally left.
Bai Jing stayed where she was, watching Ding Ke leave, and made a signature fist-clenching gesture.
Then she stood quietly at the entrance of the alley, as if waiting for something.
Soon, the previous homeless people walked out of the alley. They stared at Bai Jing in front of them with confused eyes.
When they came to Bai Jing, they suddenly knelt down.
"Listen to the teachings of our Lord."
"Very good, now that we have chosen to merge into the darkness, from today on, we are a new group.
Now, it's time to give our new group a new name.
I think…what about calling him a polluter?”
"Follow the dictates of darkness."
Bai Jing stared at these people, and a feeling of excitement arose spontaneously from the dark particles emanating from their bodies.
This is her choice, to follow the darkness and spread the darkness.
All this is destined.
…
On the other side, the mercenaries who returned with Xu Le and his party had a good meal and drink in a certain tavern.
Chang Fengle's team parted ways with the other team.
Without Bai Jing, I don’t know when we can reunite for the next collaboration.
"Xiao Bai is done with it. After a few days of rest, we will most likely find a new guide."
"Yeah, it's hard to find a reliable guide."
"After Xiaobai is gone, if you encounter a cheating guide, he will lead you to destroy him in minutes."
"You said Xiaobai was fine, why didn't you sit down?"
"She must be angry because we didn't save her."
"If it were you, wouldn't you be angry?"
"I didn't say it was her problem, but you can't say it was our problem, right? It was so dangerous at the time."
Facing the endless arguments among many seniors, Chang Fengle was a little confused.
He wanted to leave with Xu Le at that time, but he couldn't handle the crowd here.
"We got the ability of the Thunder Fruit. Now everyone has this ability. Or we can simply create a gang or organization.
It won't be a problem if we continue to be scattered mercenaries all the time, and now that Sister Bai is gone, we don't have a reliable guide."
"Create a gang? Do you have money? Do you have power? It would be useless without you."
“After we have achieved the fruits of strength, are we still afraid that we won’t have it?
As for power...when everyone comes together, doesn’t it become power?”
When Chang Fengle mentioned this, the others were slightly moved.
Being a mercenary who travels all over the world is definitely not as comfortable as being in a gang.
"But now most of the land in Tianrui Lifeng has been carved up by others. Where is there any room for us to establish a gang?"
"This is indeed a problem."
Chang Fengle followed Xu Le's example, pinched his chin, and began to think about issues related to power.
"To create a gang, you really need to compete with others for territory. With our current level, that's definitely not possible.
So instead of establishing a gang, why not establish a sect, sect, or organization?
We can move the case... bah bah bah, we should move the forces."
"Organization? What kind of organization?"
Chang Fengle had been waiting here for a long time. Under Xu Le's hearing and seeing, he already had many strange ideas in his mind.
"I do have a half-baked idea that our fruiting abilities are born from trees.
Now, except for two people who haven’t eaten, basically everyone in the group has eaten, so our abilities are all the same.
How about just calling him Tree Shepherd?"
"This name sounds weird, is that what you thought?"
"My eldest brother mentioned it at that time."
"You want to pull the tiger's skin?" Some mercenaries immediately thought of the red beard - Ding Ke.
Although the core figure of this mission is powerful, during the mission, it was almost because of him that the others were able to return safely.
But many people were unwilling to let them come into contact with Xu Le again.
The main reason is also very simple. Xu Le does not follow the routine.
People who do not conform to common sense are difficult to get along with in the eyes of most people.
"I think I can borrow the name of eldest brother. I have a very good relationship with eldest brother and I have talked with him about this issue before."
"Chang Fengle, you have a lot on your mind lately."
"People are forced out."
Several people squatted on the roadside and began to think about whether this organization called "Tree Shepherd" was feasible.
Suddenly, a black cat passed in front of these people.
It was carrying a small brown package, which actually contained small dried fish.
As they passed by, these people focused their eyes on this cat.
Ding Ke stopped awkwardly and called out politely.
Meow!~
"This cat...doesn't it look familiar?" Mercenary Lao Wang said.
"It's Big Brother's black cat."
Chang Fengle has been in contact with Xu Le for the longest time, and he is naturally the most familiar with Ding Ke, the black cat next to Xu Le.
He knew that Xu Le had a very good and close relationship with the black cat.
Many times when eating, he takes care of the black cat first, even more than himself.
Then many times, the elder brother would talk to the black cat, seemingly talking to himself.
Could it be that this black cat can talk? Can it communicate with people?
Chang Fengle shook his head quickly. This idea was too crazy. How could a cat speak human language?
"Boy, there's something very wrong with your eyes. What are you thinking about? Meow!"
Chang Fengle was stunned for a moment.
"Ah? Ghost!" He quickly took a few steps back, and several other mercenaries were also surprised and confused.
Ding Ke stood there helplessly, staring at these mercenaries.
"Why, is this your first time seeing a talking cat? Then you guys really don't know much about it."
Chang Fengle swallowed his saliva.
Yes, the eldest brother is a warlock, and warlocks are very evil...
Oh, no, warlocks are very mysterious.
As a mysterious person, isn’t it normal to have a cat that can talk?
"Um, Master Black Cat came here so late. Is there anything you want to advise us about?"
"What are you doing sneaking around here, meow?"
Chang Fengle stared at the black cat, thought for a while and then responded:
"We want to create an organization, an organization called the Tree Shepherds."
Meow? Ding Ke was shocked. What on earth did it experience tonight?
Why should a cat know these things?
It actually just wants to sleep, and this is not something a cat should endure.
"Then you should do this..."
…
Xu Le is slicing some weird things, which are weird things with dark attributes.
He killed it with his own hands.
Mainly, I want to see what kind of changes will happen to the weirdness contaminated by dark particles.
He vaguely remembered the effects of lightcast pollution.
