Chapter 24: The Fear You Know

"Okay, come with me."

The cat led me very politely to the door of a simple wooden house. On the other hand, the cat gently opened the door for me and said to me happily: "Welcome, distinguished guest."

Both the exterior and interior decoration of this house are very simple.

The roof outlined by red lines gives the whole cabin a cozy feeling. In addition, there is a small "meow" hanging outside the house.

It seems to be to prove that this is the cat's territory.

"please."

The cat picked up the teapot and poured me a cup of tea, then gave me a gentle gesture of invitation.

"Thank you."

I gently hugged the tea cup and felt the warmth brought by the hot tea leaves.

"I didn't expect to be able to drink this warm cup of hot tea here. It's so comfortable..."

After saying this, I gently picked up the teacup, covering the teacup and cheek with my hand while pretending to drink, making a slight slurping sound.

But in fact, my lips did not touch the tea cup.

The reason why I did this was because I was worried.

Compared to just now, no matter how interesting the two of us were complaining about each other, being courteous for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

What's more...it and I are not from the same dimension. So I became even more careful.

If it covets my beauty and chooses to poison the tea, then I will be ruined by a stick-drawing cat.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body.

Of course, there is a chance that my life will be lost due to this.

As for my little life, I actually cherish it very much.

"Well……"

The cat seemed to have noticed something, but said nothing. It just quietly picked up the tea cup. After taking a sip of the tea in the cup, it looked at me with a happy expression.

[Is this tea... so delicious?

And...what is this strange expression about?]

I looked at the happy-looking cat in front of me, and I couldn't help but start to murmur in my heart.

After all, the chill in my body has not yet dissipated. If I could really drink this hot tea at this time, it would be a happy thing.

"Okay, you don't have to hesitate, the tea is not poisonous."

The cat squinted its eyes and gently shook its tail. Coupled with the happy look on its face, it looked extremely cute.

"I drank."

I pretended to look serious and said to the cat in front of me.

"Whether you drink or not, you know better than me. Trust me, I won't harm you."

The cat looked at the tea in the cup very calmly and said to me calmly.

"How do you know I didn't drink?"

I narrowed my eyes slightly and asked with a puzzled look on my face.

"I said, this is my world. I know everything."

The cat shook its tail slightly and said calmly.

"your world?"

When I heard this sentence, I couldn't help but be stunned.

"You are afraid that I will poison you, but there is no need. In fact, if I don't want you to leave, you won't be able to leave at all."

The cat wagged its tail again. At this time, I not only had to restrain my desire to drink tea, but also restrained my desire to pet the cat.

However, I coughed a few times to let the messy thoughts in my head dissipate, and at the same time, I said to the cat: "How should I trust you?"

"Actually, it starts with you.

After you come, as long as I don't want you to leave, you will never be able to see the portal from the outside world again."

The cat took another sip of tea, while wagging its tail, and whispered softly.

"real?"

Suspicious, I turned my head slightly and looked through the gap in the window. Sure enough, the portal I came from just now was closed.

"Then what do you want to express when you come to me?"

At this time, I put down my guard and slowly picked up the tea cup. While asking questions, I took a sip of hot tea.

"Let's not talk about this matter first. Let me ask you first, how do you like the tea?"

The cat picked up the teapot calmly and made himself another cup of hot tea, while asking me softly.

I took a look at my tea cup and found that there were some light green tea leaves in my cup.

Although I can’t taste tea, I can make up.

"The tea tastes good. Not only is the green tea green, but it is also bright in color and has a mellow taste. After entering the mouth, there is still a faint fragrance left between the lips and teeth. It is really a good tea."

Anyway, I don’t know if what I said is right. For someone like me who doesn’t drink much tea, although I can taste it, I can’t comment on it.

As for the above comments, I just memorized them specifically to pretend to be x.

This memory has been going on for a long time now, and it has become partially blurry, so I still can’t remember clearly the various things I wrote down about praising the tea.

But since it needs to be used now, I will just mention one or two sentences that I memorized at the beginning. I can’t say whether it is useful or not, but it still answers the question.

"I didn't expect you to know a thing or two about tea."

After listening to my narration, the cat drank all the tea in the cup, gently put down the cup in his hand, and smiled at me.

"Why do I always feel that your tea and mine are different? Why don't I feel that happy feeling after drinking it?"

I frowned in confusion and couldn't help but ask.

"Yours is the best West Lake Longjing tea, but mine is catnip tea, it's different."

When the cat said this, he couldn't help but sniff his tea cup, and then showed a happy look on his face.

"...Wait a minute, I don't have time to waste time with you here, I have to protect Chen Mengting."

I stood up in a panic, and as I was about to leave, I said to it anxiously.

"Take no hurry, haste makes waste."

The cat gently held his head and lay on the chair. He closed his eyes on one side and said to me calmly on the other side.

"What can you understand?! I have to protect her! How can I not protect her..."

I stood up angrily and shouted anxiously.

But before I finished speaking, it sat upright, gently stretched out its cat paw towards me, and gave me a stop gesture.

"..."

Since I saw it doing this, I respected its thoughts, and then gently closed my mouth, waiting for its explanation.

"You are a traveler from another world. Your goal is to solve all urban legends. Only in this way can you complete the task and return to your world. Right?"

After the words fell, the cat smiled softly, and then showed me an inscrutable expression. He continued to lie on his recliner with his head in his arms and slowly rocked.

"Crunch... crunch..."

The sound of the rocking chair was very noisy, which made me feel a little irritated.

However, when this feeling of irritability came, my body also felt a little stiff due to a slight chill.

[This guy...actually...knows everything. So...what is the identity of this cat?]

After realizing it later, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart. In addition to the slightest chill wrapping around my head, a little bit of fear gradually came into my heart.

No wonder I felt a little bit of chills and fear after it finished speaking. After all, only the system and I (sort of) knew about this matter.

But the guy in front of me was able to tell the whole thing exactly as if he had gotten the script.

So...all this proves that this guy in front of me is far from being as simple as it looks.

"What else do you know?"

I glanced at it cautiously and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"I know everything you know, and I know everything you don't know. Do you want me to tell you everything?"

Having said this, the cat gently picked up a small cattail umbrella on the wooden table next to the chair, and while rocking the recliner, he gently used the cattail fan to fan himself.

This look is exactly like the comfortable look of an elderly person after retirement.

"for example?"

My face turned pale with some fear in my heart, but I still tried my best to gently raise my lips and continued to ask with some effort.

"I know that you are actually a hidden nobleman of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, a cuckold king who is one of the eight iron hat kings."

The cat looked at me very calmly, as if he wanted to save face for me, but also seemed to want to make it clear to me.

Although I may still be a little confused by the previous words, but when I heard the x hat king next... I couldn't help but fell silent.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer it. I, who have always been sharp-tongued, suffered a big loss here.

Of course, at this time, I was also caught up in its words and couldn't help but think about it.

[This guy... is scarier than any monster I've ever seen.

I understand my own thoughts very well, after all, I can understand a little bit.

Fear is often divided into four types.

One is because of the appearance and voice, the second is because of the unknown and incomprehension, the third is because of sitting still and being unable to resist; and the last is the so-called face to face with a guy who knows everything about you and you.

The last one is afraid of it because it knows too much.

Everyone has their own little secrets, and also has a side of themselves that they don’t want others to see. But if one day you meet someone who knows everything about you, you will probably have goosebumps all over your body.

pimple……

After all, it doesn't feel good to be seen through.

And what’s even more terrifying is that you have absolutely no ability to deal with this guy, so it is the most terrifying thing for you.]

Thinking of this... My body was a little stiff and I quickly took a sip of tea, letting a wave of heat spread all over my body, relieving my stiff and cold limbs.

"You must be thinking how scary I am right now, right?"

The cat narrowed his eyes, gently shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and said to me calmly.

"Um."

I knew I couldn't hide it, so I could only nod helplessly and admit my evil deeds.

"Okay, you can be considered an honest guy."

The cat smiled at me. At this time, I only felt a little weird, and no longer felt cute.

"So, let me ask you, what do you want me to do by leaving me here?"

I lowered my head, looked into its eyes very seriously, and asked eagerly.
