Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Si Lanyi remembered this favor
"Mimi, drink slowly."
Meow!
I almost forgot that cats lick water when drinking.
Si Lanyi couldn't help but feel helpless. It seems that some human habits need to be changed slowly.
Shaking his head to get rid of the water in his nasal cavity, Si Lanyi moved closer to the paper cup again.
This time he was prepared.
Si Lanyi didn't get choked again.
And his movements were surprisingly smooth, and his speed was not slow at all.
This was also thanks to the experience accumulated in the previous life. The flexibility of his tongue was far beyond that of ordinary people. I didn't expect that after becoming a cat, this skill would come in handy in such a place.
I just don't know if I can switch to human form.
Will there be barbs on the tongue?
If there are...
Thinking of this, Si Lanyi licked more vigorously.
"Sizzle...Sizzle..."
"Oh! Lick slowly, be careful not to get choked again." The round-faced girl kindly reminded him.
Si Lanyi raised his head and rolled his eyes at her when he heard that.
Meow, it was because there were not many people on this street now, otherwise her words would definitely cause some misunderstanding.
People heard it.
They thought that this meow was doing something unspeakable.
Fortunately, he is a cat now, and he drinks water by licking, which is natural!
Even if he attracts the legendary God of Harmony, he is still right!
After eating and drinking, Si Lanyi was ready to withdraw.
He had already wasted a lot of time here.
And the Dark Moon Patrolman also reminded the cashier girl to go home early. Such a kind-hearted girl must not let her get into any trouble because of him.
"Meow~"
Si Lanyi called softly, then raised his paw and pointed in the direction of the convenience store entrance, indicating that he was leaving.
"Mimi, are you leaving?"
The round-faced girl looked at Si Lanyi, with a trace of obvious reluctance in her eyes.
The main reason is that Si Lanyi is so human, and so cute and adorable. Who can not love such a cat?
A hint of desire flashed in the eyes of the round-faced girl, and she thought of adopting Si Lanyi.
However, she soon seemed to think of something.
Her eyes dimmed a little, and she sighed softly.
She reached out and gently touched Si Lanyi's head, and said softly: "Mimi, then you should go back quickly, it's not safe outside. In the future... in the future, whenever you see your sister in the store, you can come to me for food."
Hearing this.
Si Lanyi raised his head and looked at her deeply with his amber cat eyes.
Although he didn't know her name yet, her smell and appearance had been firmly remembered in his heart.
He, Si Lanyi, remembered this favor.
"Meow~"
Si Lanyi called again, silently made a promise in his heart, and then turned to the door of the convenience store.
He didn't go out immediately.
Instead, he carefully poked his head out and looked around vigilantly.
After confirming that it was safe, he took off his limbs and trotted back to the alley he came from.
The cashier girl had been standing at the door of the convenience store.
Her eyes followed the small figure until she saw Si Lanyi's figure completely disappear in the darkness of the street corner. She then retracted her gaze with a look of loss on her face.
Just as she was about to go back to the store to pack up and go home.
She suddenly caught a glimpse of two faint green lights flashing in the deep shadows of the opposite street corner.
"Huh?"
The round-faced girl was stunned for a moment, and then she looked carefully.
However, there was nothing in the shadow, as if the two green lights were just her illusion.
"Did I see it wrong?"
...
On the other side.
Si Lanyi felt the whistling night wind, but he didn't feel cold at all.
This cat fur was very thick and quite warm. If it were a human body, he would have been shivering with cold.
He didn't rush back to the alley.
First of all, he didn't have much urge to pee now, so he had to prepare for it.
Secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to memorize the terrain and building layout nearby.
This street looks deserted, but there are quite a few alleys.
After coming out of the convenience store and turning a few corners, he noticed no less than five alleys.
However, Si Lanyi did not enter these alleys to explore.
Cats and dogs have a strong sense of territory, and these alleys may have been occupied by stray cats and dogs. If he rushes in rashly, once a conflict occurs, he is not sure that he can take advantage.
It's not that he is timid, but mainly because there is really no need.
After all, when he first landed in that alley, there were still enough ants to brush his life.
And he is more familiar with the environment there, so it is better to be steady.
Si Lanyi, who was looking around, suddenly trembled his ears.
"Tick... tick..."
A faint sound of water drops passed through the whistling night wind and reached his ears.
'Is there a sound of water? '
Si Lanyi stopped abruptly and turned his head to look at an inconspicuous alley behind him.
After confirming that he had heard correctly.
Si Lanyi immediately turned around and trotted towards the alley.
This is a not very deep alley.
It was pitch black inside.
Fortunately, Si Lanyi now has night vision. After observing the alley for a while and confirming that there was no danger inside, he looked towards the location where the sound of water dripping came from.
It was a pool close to the wall, which should be used by the shop next door to wash mops.
The faucet was not completely tightened, and a small stream of water was dripping intermittently, accumulating a shallow pool at the bottom of the pool.
Seeing this.
Si Lanyi showed an irrepressible joy on his face.
'Finally found a fixed water source! '
In this way, he doesn't have to worry about inventory issues and can boldly brush his life.
Keep this 'supply point' firmly in mind.
Si Lanyi did not delay any longer and quickened his pace to trot back in the direction of the alley from which he came.
Just as Si Lanyi turned the corner, his figure completely disappeared into the darkness.
He found that deep in the narrow alley where the faucet was, in a shadow that was difficult to reach by light, two faint green lights lit up without any warning.
The green light seemed particularly creepy in the darkness, and it flickered gently a few times like a ghost fire.
Then.
A thin black shadow quietly walked out from the shadows.
It paused for a moment by the pool.
It lowered its head slightly, as if it was sniffing something.
Then, it raised its head, and the two green lights flashed.
The next second.
The black shadow tapped the ground with its limbs, and the whole body turned into a phantom, quietly chasing in the direction where Si Lanyi left.
The speed was amazing, and it disappeared at the corner of the alley in an instant.
At this time, Si Lanyi didn't know that he had been targeted.
He urinated in the ant hole he had peed in before.
There are at least hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of ants in an ant hole.
He had killed less than a hundred ants before, so naturally he didn't need to find a new hole.
This time, Si Lanyi had experience.
After urinating, he stretched out his claws and symbolically scratched a few times near Ding Ding.
After a while,
A familiar reminder sounded in my mind.
[Drowned 2 small yellow house ants, life span +49 days]
…
A series of reminder sounds followed one after another.
Si Lanyi showed a satisfied smile on his face.
There is indeed something in this ant hole!
However, you can't just grab one wool and keep pulling it.
Just as Si Lanyi was about to look for another ant hole, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
That feeling...
It was like a pair of invisible eyes, secretly spying on him.
Si Lanyi's amber cat pupils condensed slightly.
He didn't turn around immediately, but pretended not to notice anything and walked towards a pile of debris.
When he got close to the pile of debris.
Si Lanyi exerted force on his hind legs, and his body instantly jumped behind the pile of debris, hiding his body.
At the same time, his eyes quickly swept across the alley.
However, there was nothing else at the alley except a few fallen leaves blown up by the wind occasionally.
'What's going on? '
'Is it an illusion? '
Si Lanyi did not rush out, but crawled on his stomach, using the shadows as cover, and changed to another cover to continue waiting patiently.
One minute passed.
Except for the reminder sound that sounded from time to time in his mind, there was still no movement in the alley.
Two minutes... three minutes...
As time passed, the sense of being spied on gradually faded until it disappeared.
'Huh... It seems that I was really too nervous. '
Si Lanyi slowly exhaled, and his tense nerves relaxed a lot.
Yes, it was dark.
It was a remote alley like this, so it was normal to scare yourself.
Si Lanyi shook his head with some self-mockery and walked out of the shadows.
Since it was a false alarm, there was no need to waste time, and it was more important to continue his upgrade and strengthening.
However.
Si Lanyi did not notice.
On the edge of the roof of an old building more than ten meters high on both sides of the alley, a pair of eyes flashing with faint green light were staring at him without blinking.
He had seen everything he had just done.
Si Lanyi had already let go of his guard, but the shadow remained motionless.
He just watched quietly for a few minutes.
The shadow seemed to have lost his patience, or perhaps he had observed enough.
It arched its back slightly, just as it was about to jump from the roof of a building more than ten meters high.
A strange blood-red color appeared on the horizon without any warning, and spread and spread at a very fast speed.
The shadow's movements suddenly stagnated.
It slowly raised its head, looked at the strange blood-red color on the horizon, and then looked down at Si Lanyi in the alley.
Its green eyes flickered a few times, as if it was weighing something.
After a few breaths.
The shadow stood up, without any lingering feelings, and turned around and disappeared into the blood-red night.
...
Brothers.
From the first chapter to this chapter, almost all of them are foreshadowings.
