Chapter 151: A Trip For More Righteousness

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There came a rotten smell.

The dead, rotten smell came from a quiet lane ahead.

Old Time Tea knew it had arrived at its destination.

A hot wave came from its chest up to its throat.

It knew it was getting old, not as strong as he used to be, just like how the song went:

[The wind smiles

It makes me feel lonely

But there are still great thoughts in my mind.——]

It wasn't a good time to be sad at the moment. Old Time Tea tried to let out excess body heat from breathing quickly, which also reverted its rapid heart rate back to normal.

Old Time Tea didn't enter the lane from the ground. Being a cat, walking on the wall was way safer.

Standing up on the wall, Old Time Tea carefully observed this lane.

Slop and garbage was everywhere. The heavy stink was, in fact, a natural protection of the lane from outsiders. A normal person would not come in.

There were no street lights.

It raised its head and found that there were indeed street lights, which were all intentionally broken.

The lane was dark, but darkness wouldn't stop Old Time Tea.

Through the eyesight only cats had, Old Time Tea discovered that there were signs of fresh cat urine in the lane. A place where humans abandoned could sometimes be a cats' heaven.

A big fat rat came out from the sewer. It was squeaking and smelling around before it decided that this was a safe spot to find some food. Immediately, it ran towards the trash piling up at the corner, tore up the plastic bags, and searched for dinner.

Old Time Tea was about to move forward until suddenly, a slight friction-like noise caught its attention. It stopped.

A black cat quietly squeezed itself out from another corner, staring at the rat. Apparently, it had been waiting for its prey's arrival for quite a while.

Quietly raising its feet and lightly approaching to the rat, the black cat didn't make even a tiny bit of noise. It was getting closer and closer to the rat from behind. However, the rat didn't hear the cat all, digging half of its head into the trash bag and enjoying its delicious dinner.

As the black cat got close enough, it suddenly jumped up with two front paws, and landed on the rat's head and body.

The rat was scared, screaming and whipping its tail. Yet it was fate that decided that tonight was the end for him.

After watching this scene, Old Time Tea once again jumped up and headed inside the lane.

The black cat was frightened by Old Time Tea's movement. It thought that was a competitor so its paws loosened. The rat grasped at the chance to escape, but the black cat wouldn't let it go. It was thrown at the wall and passed out.

Old Time Tea changed from running quickly to slowly jumping so it had time to carefully observe the environment as it proceeded.

People lived in this lane. Dim lights came out from a few houses. Why would they live here? Out of financial reasons or others?

A small three-story building, which looked very much like an observation tower, appeared in front of Old Time Tea. Surrounding the building, there were short one-story houses on either side.

It was the Qing Ren Consulting Firm.

The building was dark and as quiet as a tomb. Old Time Tea listened carefully, but it could not hear a thing.

Old Time Tea jumped down from the wall and walked around the outside of the front door.

It smelled carefully.

That was it!

The smell of rotten rats from the sewer lingered.

The front door was a metal gate. Old Time Tea reached out its paw and tried to open it. The door was tightly shut.

It didn't really matter because Old Time Tea had other options as it came to entering a building.

If a person wanted to enter the building, he had to pull the door open from outside. Old Time Tea thought about it for a second and found a piece of wood that was about 3 feet long, which was very likely a piece of leftover material from a piece of furniture.

Old Time Tea pressed its sharp nails in the wood to pick it up and went back to the door. It tried a few different angles and utilized a small hole on the ground to place the wood against the doorknob. Old Time Tea then raised and kicked so that the wood was tightly fixed on the door and kept it shut.

In this case, if someone in the building tried to escape, they could not get out from the front door.

When Old Time Tea pushed the wood against the door, it made a loud noise.

Old Time Tea listened again. It was still dead-silent inside.

It then jumped up to the wall and walked to the side of the building.

Sewer pipes ran from the top level to the ground.

The plastic pipes were held on the wall by a few old rusty metal rings.

Old Time Tea jumped up, grabbed a pipe and went up to the top level within seconds.

There were all sorts of garbage and leftovers on the top level. A small door led to the roof.

The roofs between this building and the neighboring one were close enough that if someone rushed to escape, he could jump to directly from one roof to the other.

The door was made of metal, and was locked from inside.

Old Time Tea did the same thing, using some garbage to secure to lock so no one could ever get out.
