  After Zhang Zian found out that what had happened that day was related to cats, he didn’t want Fina to go with him. It would get very impulsive, not caring about the consequences, and it was likely to cause it injuries. He managed to sweet talk it to stay behind.

  There was only one life, and Zian did not believe that being reborn or crossing universes happened in the online novels to be true. He also didn’t believe that the mummies of the pharaohs and the great priests would be revived one day… Their organs had already been removed, and their whole body was marinated with spices like barbecued meat. How were they going to be revived? It was much better for Fina to stay in the store.

  Fina was still hesitating, so Zhang Zian added, “Not to mention, we may not be able to find the Holy Cat statue this time. It is very likely that it’s going to be a wasted trip… As the saying goes, ‘A good steel should be used in the blade.’ I’ll definitely notify you immediately when there’s information with substantial evidence on the Holy Cat statue.”


  After some reasoning and bootlicking, he finally made Fina agree to remain in the shop.

  Fina brought out all its spirit and was in a state of alertness, looking like it was ready to protect the entire shop. Snowy Lionet was disappointed.

  Galaxy was chasing Wendy when it overheard Zhang Zian’s conversation, so it stopped and asked. “Meow. Is Zian heading out?”


  “Yes, we’re going out to find something. Galaxy, do you want to go, too?” he asked.

  “Find something?” Galaxy blinked its eyes. “Is it like hide and seek?”


  Zian snapped his fingers. “Yes, Galaxy. You’re right! Strictly speaking, the thing we’re looking for is not a dead object. It might even be able to move or fly, so it should be similar to hide and seek.”


  “Meow. Galaxy wants to go too!” Galaxy excitedly jumped up.

  Zhang Zian was going to look in an unfinished building on the outskirts of the city later that evening. The building was on Snowy’s list, and the witnesses had claimed to see a statue resembling the Holy Cat statue in a window in the building. But because of the distance, they were unable to confirm.

  Previously, when they were drawing out the sectors, Snowy had advised him not to go there because the place had been deserted for a very long time. It was rare to see anyone there, and she felt that it might be mischief from the netizens.

  Zhang Zian, on the other hand, thought that it might be true. The tone of the witness was uncertain… If it was a prank, then the witness would definitely be certain.

  Since it was a deserted place, it should not be a problem bringing Galaxy along for a walk.

  “Ga ga! There’s something fun going on, and you’re not bringing me along? I want to go too!” Richard was unwilling to be left behind. It descended on Zian’s shoulders and made a lot of noise.

  “Yeah right! Aren’t you blind at night? Tagging along just to give us trouble,” Zhang Zian scolded and shooed it away. If this b*tch bird was tagging along, it would be able to scare off the cat abusers with its raucous voice from 800 meters away.

  “Ga ga! I want to sue you for discriminating against disabled birds!”


  Richard flew away. It hovered in the air before descending onto Old Time Tea’s electric blanket.

  “Well, okay then. I shall stay behind. It’s finally my turn to be in control of the remote control!” It messed around with remote control using its claws, changing the channels one after another. “Ga ga. It actually can’t receive the signal for HBO? Then let me see which video app has sensual films…”


  Zhang Zian said, “…Lower the volume. I don’t want the anti-pornography office to find their way here.”


  As for the two upstairs, there was no need to ask them. One was concentrating on typing its novel, while the other was addicted to her live broadcasts and her mobile phone. She actually couldn’t even leave the bathtub in the first place.

  There was a big difference in the temperature between day and night in the spring. Although it was warm during the day, it was a little cold during the night. Zhang Zian put on an additional heavy coat, grabbed the car key, and left the shop with the three elfins, then he turned and pulled the shutter door down and locked it.

  It was really convenient to have a car, not to mention the Wuling Shenguang that had a large body and cargo load. Even with the elfins inside, it was still very spacious. If they were to take a taxi from a stranger, it might be inconvenient to bring Galaxy along.

  Fina briefly showed its face on the second floor and looked at them condescendingly. It was very eager to take up the responsibility of protecting the pet shop. After all, those with combat capabilities had left the store, and the rest were too weak to handle a fight.

  Zhang Zian started the car and drove towards the suburbs, as listed on the list given by Snowy.

  In the backseat, Famous sat in the middle with Old Time Tea and Galaxy on its left and right. Their faces were plastered to the window as they curiously observed the nightlife outside.

  It was the weekend, so there were more cars on the road than usual. After about half an hour, they arrived at their destination.

  In the twilight, an uncapped building appeared in front of them. It was dark, and most of the details were not clear.

  Zhang Zian and the elfins got out of the car one after another. He locked the door and looked up at the building.

  In the past few years, Binhai City had experienced a boom in real estate development. Capitals and manpower swarmed into the real estate industry, and the house prices rose. However, the income level of Binhai City could not support the increased house prices, so after a short period of prosperity, they became common trifles.

  The building was a product from that period. Just when the construction was about to be completed, the housing prices of Binhai City fell sharply. There were issues with the developer’s capital, rendering them unable to afford the wages of their workers, and they soon went bankrupt. The result was an unfinished building that was left there with no one caring for it. No one knew the final ownership of this property.

  In fact, even if the building was completed, no one would buy it. The surrounding area was very desolate, and there were no signs of any supporting facilities. Plus, the price was ridiculously high. The developers had completely regarded the people as fools.

  It was precisely because of these reasons that the unfinished building was quite well-known in Binhai City. It had also become a landmark building in the area. Some young people who had too much time would sometimes come together to explore the building at night. There were also rumors of it being haunted on the net… Of course, all of those were baseless rumors.

  Haunted or not, it was hard to discern, but because there are no monitoring devices around, it was indeed a good place to abuse cats––there was no need to be afraid of being discovered.

  The moon was visible. Although it was not a full moon, it was enough to illuminate the road.

  Zhang Zian had prepared an extra flashlight because after entering the building, the moonlight would not be able to reach inside. He didn’t have the same vision that cats did at night.

  The surroundings were very quiet. Several plastic bags hung between the branches of the roadside and the night wind blew.

  Meow! Meow!

  Cat cries could vaguely be heard coming from the front of the building.

  The night wind had the rancid smell of the garbage mixed in. It was obvious that the nearby, lazy residents had used the place as a garbage dump, which also provided food for the stray cats.

  Although the building was unfinished, it could at least shelter stray cats from the wind and rain.

  Famous lowered its head and sniffed. “There’s a lot of dog waste in the vicinity… There’s also waste from humans. I’ll go ahead to prevent you guys from stepping on them.”


  Zhang Zian and the three elfins continued in an arrow shape. Famous was in front, leading the way, and Zhang Zian was in the middle, while Old Time Tea and Galaxy were on the left and right, slowly moving towards the dark, unfinished building.
