Li Shigao and I looked at each other. We came from the middle of the room, and there was a hole about one meter in diameter, like a secret passage. At first, Li Shigao and I didn't dare touch the boxes on the exhibition stand, but later we observed them carefully. I found a clay statue in a corner of the room. .. ：*/.*
The clay statue is covered with a thin red gauze at this time, but through the thin gauze you can see that the clay statue is a cat with red eyes. The cat looks lazily lying on the ground. The clay statue is lifelike and looks very strange to me. What's strange is that the cat's tail is forked.
I was curious for a moment, so I shouted to Li Shi next to me: "Old Li, come and take a look at this thing, it's quite new, it looks like a cat."
Li Shigao was observing the boxes over there. When he heard what I said, he came over. He looked down and his face turned pale. He said in surprise, "It's Nekomata!!!"
"What the hell is a cat?" I looked at Li Shigao and blocked him in my heart, knowing that this thing must be not to be trifled with. Li Shigao walked up to the cat with a serious face, took a closer look, and then said to me: "Don't touch the veil on its head, it should be the thing that subdues it."
"Is this Nekomata very powerful?" I asked the knowledgeable Li Shigao. Li Shigao nodded and said, "Nekomata is only found in the island country. It first appeared in Toriyama Sekien's "A Hundred Demons Night Parade". At first, some people thought it was just a legend, but it does exist. This thing is from the island country. I don't know much about it, but you just remember that it is very powerful. If it is released, I think neither of us will be able to escape."
After listening to what Li Shigao said, I couldn't help but take two steps back. In fact, cats are quite evil. In China, there are various legends about nine-life cat demons. Anyway, it's quite mysterious.
Li Shigao patted my shoulder when he saw me and said, "Don't worry about it. It's sealed. There are a lot of things here. Find the ancient scroll quickly. Once you find it, leave quickly. I didn't expect there would be a cat in the Yasukuni Shrine."
I nodded subconsciously after hearing that, and then started looking for it with Li Shigao. This place was like a treasure house, with many good things, but most of them were in Japanese, and only a few had Chinese translations. Originally, I felt that these were all good things and wanted to take some away, but Li Shigao told me not to touch them, mainly because he was afraid of triggering some mechanism.
After searching for about ten minutes, we looked through all the boxes and finally found a box with the name of the Seven Star Scroll hung on the outside. Li Shigao and I looked at the box and guessed that this was probably the thing. The box was one foot long and about as wide as an adult's palm. Just as I was about to take it, there was a sudden noise in the middle of the room. I quickly picked up the box and threw it into my backpack, then took a look at it with Li Shigao.
It turned out to be Ruan Xingchen who ran in, but his hair was messy, his clothes were untidy, and his face looked a little crazy. After he came up, he pouted at the cave below and said, "You still want to stop me? Are you kidding me? Can you stop me with just a bunch of scum?"
After Ruan Xingchen finished speaking, he looked up and saw me and Li Shigao. Ruan Xingchen smiled at us and said, "How is it? Did you find what you were looking for?"
I was about to speak when Li Shigao calmly said, "We haven't found it yet. What a pity. It seems we have to look somewhere else."
"Haha, it's good that I didn't find it. Mr. Meng told me that I can only take one treasure from this secret room. If I take two, I will alert the cat." After Ruan Xingchen finished speaking, he looked at the thing on my right hand and said, "I'm really lucky. I found it as soon as I got here."
Li Shigao and I looked at each other. In fact, all the information Li Shigao got was from Mr. Meng. I don't know where Mr. Meng got so much information about the Yasukuni Shrine. Anyway, Li Shigao and I shouted at the same time: "No."
But as soon as Li Shigao and I said this, Ruan Xingchen had already picked up the palm-sized box. Ruan Xingchen also smiled and said, "It's worth it that I fought with dozens of wronged souls. I got it so easily."
Just when he finished speaking, Li Shigao and I had already jumped down from his side. As soon as Li Shigao and I jumped down, we heard a cat's meow from above. This meow made all the bones in my body go weak. It was very strange, and I felt numb all over.
Li Shigao and I jumped down from a height of five meters, and with the cat's cry, we lay on the ground for a while and couldn't get up. Li Shigao bit his tongue and slapped me in the face. The pain made me recover. I didn't say anything to them. I picked up my backpack and ran to the other end of the cave. We didn't run two steps before Ruan Xingchen also jumped down. As soon as Ruan Xingchen came down, he yelled at us: "Meng Lao, the old bastard next door to Ma Lie, lied to me. The cat demon revived when he touched it!"
Although the situation was urgent, I was still amused after hearing what Ruan Xingchen said. This guy is really thick-skinned. Most people would have thought that Li Shigao and I had already taken the same thing, but he was still foolishly blaming Meng Lao. However, because of this, my favorability towards him increased a lot.
But now is not the time to think about other problems. Li Shigao and I ran very fast. At the beginning, it only took us 20 seconds to run the one-minute distance. Then I said to Li Shigao, "You hurry up and go up. I'll cover the rear!"
"Bullshit, you go first, you are not as capable as me!" Li Shigao frowned and shouted at me.
"Excuse me, you two can discuss it slowly. I'm leaving first!"
Just when I was talking to Li Shigao, a dark shadow suddenly passed by and climbed up the ladder. Who else could it be but Ruan Xingchen? His actions instantly destroyed the good impression I had just had on him. Damn, why didn't he just let the cat kill him again? He could have bought us some time. But I also knew that it was not a pretentious thing to do now, otherwise Li Shigao and I would have bought time for Ruan Xingchen. So I looked up and climbed up. As soon as I climbed up, I saw that the room was empty. Damn, that Ruan Xingchen ran fast enough. I looked down and saw that Li Shigao was also climbing up, and he had already climbed halfway up.
Just when I was about to come up, I suddenly heard a cat's meow from below.
"aim."
