Chapter 23: A Cat and a Spirit
"Then, three, two, one, let's start!"
"Meow!"
Following He Wen's order, the black cat that was still lying on the roadside suddenly jumped up from the ground.
In an instant, the flexible body was almost torn into a black line, flashing past in the dim light.
Night becomes its best cover.
The young man wearing glasses didn't even come back to his senses, he just subconsciously raised his arm.
The black cat had already fiercely bitten the fur ball that fell from his hand.
next moment.
Maybe it's because of aroused instinct.
The black cat took advantage of the opportunity and hugged the ball again, and in the same way as it bit the throat of its prey, it rolled and bit the rope of the cat-teasing stick.
He Wen only felt an unexpected huge force coming from his hand, causing him to loosen the stick he was holding tightly.
The black cat grabbed it and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the victory was decided, Jiang Sheng put away his claws gracefully.
Then he licked his paws and squatted down near the cat teasing stick. At the same time, he glanced at He Wen who was still standing there stupidly with a rather contemptuous look.
"Meow."
That look seemed to be saying.
Please, you are weak.
Although He Wen couldn't understand animal language, he could at least understand facial expressions.
then……
"Hey, I'm so grumpy, come again!"
The young man's old face turned red, and he quickly picked up the wooden stick connected to the hair ball with his hands and feet. Then he moved his neck and said.
He clearly looked like he was taking it seriously.
He's anxious, he's anxious, he's anxious now.
Jiang Sheng yawned and stretched.
Then, as if his interest was waning, he raised his tail at He Wen.
Although its strength and size are not comparable to He Wen, the physical fitness of a medium-sized cat is obviously not a vegetarian.
It's not easy to snatch a stick from the opponent's hand.
At least that's what Jiang Sheng thinks.
However, it undoubtedly underestimates the ability of humans as the top predator in the food chain.
Even though humans have never been known for their physique, they have always been a member of the large primate species. In fact, their size has surpassed 99% of the species on the earth today.
The individual's physical fitness is enough to fight against some medium and large carnivorous animals.
There have even been cases of fighting off a brown bear alone while armed with tools.
It is definitely not unreasonable for humans to be able to run rampant in nature to this day. They have developed minds, and they also have uniquely constructed and strong enough limbs.
Good at throwing, running, grabbing and climbing.
With these abilities concentrated in one species, it is difficult to say that they have not been favored by fate.
Because of this, in the ensuing contest, Jiang Sheng and He Wen, who became serious, competed with each other, winning or losing.
But they failed to gain any overwhelming advantage.
On the contrary, the two of them, who thought they were just playing with each other, were now aroused with a strong desire to win, and they were panting over a hair ball.
"Hoo, ho."
Under the street lights, He Wen looked at the black cat ready to go and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At this time, he could no longer maintain even breathing.
My mouth was busy panting, and I could only mutter in my heart if something happened.
There's something wrong with this cat. How could it move so fast? I can't help but think I can't control a cat.
After all, it's just a moving ball. Is it necessary to fight so hard to grab it?
In fact, He Wen was once good at sports, but he had been idle for writing for the past two years. But he still didn't want to be despised by a cat. It must be said that male animals always have some strange obsessions.
"Meow."
Jiang Sheng was also arching his back and sticking out his tongue, looking as embarrassed as a dog.
Damn it, what’s going on with this person? Why would he be so serious with a cat? You raised the ball to a height of more than two meters. How could an ordinary cat get it? You bastard!
Just be obedient and let me snatch the ball away. Do you know what a funny cat is? A funny cat!
I’m not letting you win! You have to let me win! Do you know how to play?
Never mind Jiang Sheng's unreasonable "speech".
At this time, Kashiwagi who was hiding in the bathroom also had a dull look on his face.
What were those two guys doing, sprinting at a speed of fifty meters, just to grab a cat teasing stick?
Are ordinary people so funny with cats?
No, they don't seem to be ordinary. To be precise, according to Kashiwagi at this time, He Wen's body is wrapped with a ball of black energy the size of a palm.
The body size is about one limb, which means that if left unchecked, the young man will become disabled in a short time.
As for Jiang Sheng, it had been completely filled with black energy, almost completely turning into a walking black mist.
Unknown size.
The reason that is unpredictable is that Kashiwagi has never seen such a solid evil spirit so far.
Logically speaking, when evil spirits grow to a certain level, they will actively spread.
Then they cling to some densely populated buildings or terrain in order to spread bad luck to a large area and raise food in captivity.
But now, this evil spirit seems to be imprisoned by a black cat.
The bit that occasionally escapes will also dissipate near it.
Why is this, why the black cat is burdened with such a terrifying supernatural being but has not been killed by the ensuing misfortune? Kashiwagi can't figure it out.
In the final analysis, as a weak psychic, his understanding of the supernatural world is not comprehensive enough.
It seems that we can only wait for the people from the Psychic Management Office to arrive.
Fortunately, I think I have found the source of this evil spirit.
Raising his head and glancing at the apartment building outside the bathroom, Kashiwagi frowned and thought uneasily.
Guandong Community, Chengnan Waterfront Apartment.
Is there any connection between the two?
Hey, I hope those guys in the management office can take it seriously.
This world is really getting more and more uneven.
"Meow!"
the other side.
Jiang Sheng jumped up high again and stepped on He Wen's chest.
Then he turned around in the air and bit into the hanging fur ball like a bird.
And He Wen shouted while holding the wooden stick high.
"Don't use me as a springboard, you're committing a foul!"
"Meow (who cares about you)!"
Seeing that Jiang Sheng was about to touch the fur ball, He Wen suddenly turned around and ran away, leaving the black cat behind who looked confused.
"Hahaha, prey can also escape."
The laughter of young people could be heard in the distance.
"Meow!"
The black cat reacted and immediately chased after him, cursing.
It wasn't until the two ran away that Kashiwagi slowly walked out of the bathroom, lit a cigarette for himself, and muttered to himself.
Chapter completed!
