Even if a cat gets a Ph.D., the scruff of fate will still be the scruff of fate.
Dr. Cat was honest. It hung limply in Yin Ren's hand, looking like a black cloth bag. He cursed loudly when he was being grabbed, and Mr. Briquettes cursed all kinds of obscene words, attacking all the humans present indiscriminately - it can be seen that humans are not shy about talking about cat bells, and the reverse is also true.
Instead, it was Yin Ren who couldn't listen anymore. The smile on his face gradually stiffened, and he carefully put down the cat that was spewing obscenities like crazy.
Dr. Cat was not stupid and did not run away immediately. It swished up to a high place and looked down at the four superficial humans, its black and fluffy tail sweeping back and forth.
"Do you want to act together?" Yin Ren pretended that nothing happened, "It is more efficient and is in line with Shi'an's corporate spirit."
Zhong Cheng said that he should keep in mind his new task of "lazy". He took a step back and half-hidden behind Yin Ren in a very dedicated manner. Luo Wanxiang looked at them up and down and said something.
"We have no problem, it's just this cat... ah no, this doctor is from Yandu..." She scratched her head.
Dr. Cat has started licking his paws and washing his face.
"I'm going to find my companions."
It raised its green eyes, its two pupils dilated roundly in the shadows.
It took Yin Ren two seconds to react before he realized that "male" was referring to himself and Zhong Cheng.
Sanjay's symptoms of being harassed by the little monster are mild, and it does not seem to be due to her "extraordinary talent".
And a few steps away, someone had already collapsed to the ground—
After the game, it would be great if the cat could be bribed by Cat Can. Zhong Cheng said that he especially wanted to do an interview with it.
"Of course, insects are a good source of protein, and you can play with them before eating. You are welcome to try them at any time."
I discovered something interesting, and the decision to "converge" was indeed the right one.
The white monsters are very repulsive to these bones, and only a few are willing to get close to Sanjay.
Even if it's a sweary little animal, cute animals always make people feel at ease. When the black cat made a fuss, the sobbing Sanjay finally regained her breath. Her blind eyes turned to the direction Dr. Cat left, and she didn't know what she "saw".
The humans looked at each other, and Zhong Cheng was the first to take out a disposable water cup and pour half a cup of water.
Zhong Cheng patted him on the back and turned to the cat: "Your companion is near the kidney, just in case, please keep in touch with us... Do you need additional equipment?"
Originally, she secretly hoped that Fu Tianyi would use his superior combat power, but in the end, this elite of the Fu family collapsed first.
Even though he looked like he wanted to.
"The two males are emotionally stable and their communication facilities are working. They must have contacted their rear command."
This enthusiasm is so great that it is a little abnormal, almost turning into a fear of "what if I get fired?" But in general, it has had a positive effect.
"If necessary, I will take the initiative to contact you." Dr. Cat replied sharply, "I don't want the equipment. I'm here because I'm thirsty... Quick, give me some clean water."
"But running around is dangerous." Luo Wanxiang reminded as friendly as possible.
If you move forward haphazardly, your body will become smaller. If you don't identify your breath at all times while walking, you will easily be attacked by giant insects that suddenly jump out. However, after experiencing the battle royale in Gengsheng Town, Ge Tingting adapted well to these little things.
They exude a faint evil aura, with translucent white mycelium extending in all directions, and their eyeball-like structures are always wet. These monsters squirmed in the cracks of the carrion, wandering around with malicious intent.
Dr. Cat: "Bugs are slow to react, so I usually eat them as snacks... Are you humans afraid of crispy fried chicken that is magnified hundreds of times?"
Fu Tianyi almost fell over. He reluctantly leaned against the wall and slid to the ground in embarrassment. Among the group of people, he was the hardest hit.
"Linan's rear command is a portable AI. If I join you, the distribution of rear command will be seriously unbalanced." Dr. Cat arched his body, stretched out his two hind legs, and licked the fur on his belly vigorously.
Rear command often requires the assistance of mechanical equipment. There are no traces of machinery on this cat, and I don’t know how the Yandu team usually communicates with it.
But Geng Shengzhen has no teammates holding him back—
Dr. Cat drank it all in one gulp. It looked at Zhong Cheng for a while, then flicked its tail and ran away quietly.
As she turned around, Yin Ren secretly let out a sigh.
Not long after the operation, in addition to the encyclopedia of scavenging insects and micro-evils with crooked melons and cracked dates, they also encountered a strange white monster.
"Be careful with your breathing." Aunt Tao reminded her sternly, staring at the phone.
Not long after the trip, Ge Tingting's "rational plan" began to slowly collapse.
Ge Tingting accidentally touched something, but she didn't have any strange reaction. To be honest, she became even more enthusiastic about this game - she absolutely wanted to become stronger and stay in Shi'an, where she had no worries about food, clothing, and good treatment.
The necklace was undoubtedly made by human eyebrows and must have a history of more than two hundred years. The bones were carved with fine and dense runes, emitting a faint aura. Those auras were similar and probably belonged to her ancestors.
Aunt Tao and Huang Jin didn't feel much strange. They just took out their mobile phones and stared at someone's photo on the screen saver.
Time goes back half an hour.
The rookie of the Fu family has disheveled hair, dirty clothes, and has long lost his original calmness. He leaned against the wall, hugging his knees, and his breathing was so rapid that it was unbelievable.
Fu Tianyi seemed not to hear, his pupils were trembling wildly, and his breathing kept echoing in the darkness. The more out of control he gets, the more white monsters crawl on him. This man took out several strange-looking spiritual weapons to drive them away, but to no avail.
He dipped his fingertips in blood and traced the pure heart rune on his arm. The fresh blood gave off a faint red light. Under the red light, Huang Jin tried his best to take a few deep breaths, and finally collapsed on the spot without holding Ding Lizi's screensaver.
Huang Jin's condition was even worse, and he was completely out of his mind.
Yin Ren swallowed reflexively, and the black cat moved its ears and glanced at Yin Ren.
Fortunately, Comrade Huang Jin was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. In the archives, his emotions were amplified by Xanthium angustifolia and Kong Wanqing successively. The "Pure Heart Talisman" replaced the "Explosive Spirit Weapon" and became what this spiritual craftsman is best at making. thing.
Yin Ren couldn't help but recall the abundance of insects nearby, and choked on his saliva.
Compared to when she was at Fu Mansion, she had an exaggerated bone necklace on her chest.
Cadaver abdomen.
Half a minute passed, and it looked like three feet of snow had accumulated on this man's body, covered with little wriggling white monsters.
Ge Tingting wanted to use foreign objects to push away the white monsters, but the foreign objects passed through the white monsters and had no effect. She couldn't do it directly, so she had to grab Huang Jin's sleeve and drag him to Fu Tianyi.
"Put a Pure Heart Talisman on him." The Pure Heart Talisman cannot peel off those little monsters, but judging from Huang Jin's condition, it can play a certain role in maintaining sanity.
If you don't save someone, you will definitely get points deducted, Ge Tingting thought simply. Huang Jin did not save anyone immediately. He looked at Fu Tianyi faintly. Several white monsters circled Huang Jin's neck, and their wet eyes peered into his collar.
"He loves his family very much, and has an almost religious admiration for the Fu family." Huang Jin seemed to be observing Fu Tianyi's thinking, "This attachment makes him extremely nervous, for fear that he will fail miserably at home - the more he looks forward and backward, the less he can do anything, pointing out That’s the kind of person he is.”
Ge Tingting said: "... first draw him a pure heart charm and leave it alone if it's not appropriate."
There was something wrong with Huang Jin's tone. This man was usually a bit harsh, but he had never been so direct.
"Are you still taking him away? Be careful of hurting us." Huang Jin still didn't draw the runes. He muttered loudly, "We are not monsters like Yin Ren and the others. We just have to take care of ourselves."
"How will you know the result if you don't try it?" Ge Tingting explained hurriedly, "This is a competition, not a task. We'd better compete seriously."
"Why are you so serious? Have you forgotten what Shi'an did to you? You are not technically an adult, and you still have to go to these messy places with them."
"I don't understand. I have committed a crime, and when I was punished, I cursed in private. You don't even have criminal responsibility, so why bother to suffer the consequences? Are you a masochist?"
The resentment in Huang Jin's tone became more and more obvious. He breathed faster, and a string of tears fell from the white monster on his body.
Ge Tingting was stunned.
She knew that Huang Jin was not in the right state. But the thought of "What to do if Shi'an abandons her" came rushing to her, and something in her heart seemed to be ignited, exploding and scattering in an instant. From an angle that Ge Tingting could not observe, the white monster on her body squirmed faster.
Some words tumbled out of her heart and rushed through her mind. There had to be an outlet—
"You have the skills to survive, and as long as you don't tell, no one can see the abnormality in your body! If you hadn't committed a crime, you could easily find a job to make a living. What about me?"
The AI's voice was extremely calm, but Ge Tingting's facial features were a little distorted.
"What about me?" She asked again, holding up her phone. "Low education, communication barriers, no money, not even any skills. I can see life at a glance. Without this, I can't even communicate with you normally. Shi'an is me The best opportunity in this life!"
"Don't I know the danger? Aren't I afraid of death? Shi'an has no reason to raise me in vain. I can only keep training, learning, and getting stronger, so that I can be safe. I can even climb higher and never be eliminated!"
Vaguely, Ge Tingting felt a sense of discomfort.
Her reluctance to let go of the current situation constantly turned into the panic of being abandoned, and the little white monsters gradually moved towards her.
"There has to be a limit to showing off your strength. When a person dies, there is nothing." Huang Jin clenched his phone tightly. In the turbid darkness, Ding Lizi's screensaver was particularly conspicuous.
"It doesn't hurt your back when you stand and talk, right? Why do you educate me like this? You didn't want to die yourself at the beginning."
Ge Tingting knew that she shouldn't say this. But her head was buzzing, and she just wanted to pour out the unbearable emotions, and she couldn't control the movements of her fingers at all.
Huang Jin stood up straight away, lowered his face, and stopped drawing the Pure Heart Talisman: "Okay, okay, you are awesome if you are active. Whoever is looking for shit will deal with it, I really don't care - the yellow-haired girl is just hypocritical."
The white monster on his shoulder and neck kept tightening the hyphae, as if a white collar had been added to him. The white monster on Ge Tingting's body kept moving upward to cover her eyes.
Throughout the whole process, Aunt Tao was unusually quiet. A white monster's hyphae penetrated into her mouth, and she looked at the phone screen as if it had nothing to do with it, without even raising her eyelids. The snowman-like Fu Tianyi was still huddled in a corner of the wall, his breathing gradually becoming disordered.
"Meow-"
A high-pitched meow pierced the darkness.
The black cat jumped out of the shadows and stepped lightly on the white monster. Dr. Kitty swept the ground with his tail, ruffled the fur on his back, and let out a hostile huff.
The little monster didn't know what kind of influence it had, but he shrank back a few steps.
"Humans, look into my eyes!"
The black cat purred loudly, and the sound directly hit everyone's heads. The low-frequency and soft purring sound was like a warm velvet blanket, rubbing against the tense nerves little by little.
As if his whole body was soaked in warm water, Ge Tingting suddenly relaxed, and most of the unknown fire dissipated. Huang Jin's face looked much better, and Aunt Tao's dull eyes became focused.
"Coal Ball, the enemy just now... was emotionally amplified...?" Fu Tianyi struggled to stand up.
"I knew there were 'those things' here." Coal Ball said softly, "You highly gregarious animals are troublesome, with too many messy emotions."
Ge Tingting and Huang Jin subconsciously wanted to look at each other, but they realized something again and awkwardly looked away.
Outside the corpse cage.
"A cat from the 'Infinite' branch, an ability user from the Science Post, is a bit interesting." Fu Xingchuan touched his chin. "Have you done a lot of research?"
Zhou Gong, the coach of the Yandu branch, scratched his fat face and smiled kindly.
"I didn't do any special research. I was lucky. We accidentally discovered that the ability of the 'infinite' branch is not easily interfered by the ability of the 'resonance' branch... The essence of those little things' abilities is somewhat close to that of 'resonance'."
"Is this a bet? Yan Du wants to win so much?" Fu Xingchuan raised his eyebrows. There were "those things" in the corpse cage, and they all knew about it.
"Oh, what you said, I just did a little homework." Zhou Gong smiled even more cheerfully.
"I said."
Qiao Shang, the "No. 1 Witch Zhu" who had been keeping quiet, spoke.
"Fu Xingchuan, Corpse Cage is a good topic. I thought you would make a fuss about bugs and small evil objects... How can you convince the higher-ups if you directly use 'those things' as test questions?"
Fu Xingchuan scratched the back of his head.
"Sangjie is a practitioner of the shamanic sect. Her family has always been aware of 'those things'; Coal Ball is a person with infinite abilities. Due to the incompetence of abilities and species differences, she can be immune to the influence of 'attachment'; we also have Some very interesting kids.”
"They will collide and collide, and maybe they will make new discoveries - you are all specially trained in the archives. 'Sentiment' is the weakest group among 'those things', right?"
Qiao Shang frowned: "That's true, but it's too early for them."
"That's not necessarily true. The enemy doesn't care if you get in touch early or not." Fu Xingchuan rubbed the stubble on his chin and said in a brisk tone, "I have an intuition that things may change recently."
Qiao Shang looked over inquiringly, but Fu Xingchuan did not continue to explain.
He just stretched out a hand and pressed it on the body.
"Yes, the temporary team has been basically finalized. The real assessment can begin."
