Zhang Zian put down the phone and looked at the excited Famous, ”Are you drunk? You don’t even know what’s going on and asked me to promise her...”

Using its toes to hold a wine glass, Famous drank up the last drop of wine and put down the glass, ”In short, that girl might run into trouble, right?”

Zhang Zian put his hands on his waist, ”So?”

”We're going to help her because I want to be an angel who can make everyone happy,” said Famous solemnly.

Zhang Zian treated Snowy as a friend, that’s why he was hesitant to give his word to her father about guaranteeing her safety. He wasn’t sure whether he was able to do that. Everyone thought he was a Wing Chun Master, but he was not! He had only been practicing for a few days! He was good at making the standard postures, but his level wasn’t enough when it came to real fighting!

He hadn’t been to the dog market before, but he was sure that if they exposed the swindlers’ frauds, those desperate crooks will be very furious!

Of course, he can bring Old Time Tea there. But Old Time Tea was a cat, if it had beaten up the peddlers in the dog market by itself…imagine the terrible consequences afterwards. Absolutely not!

”You don’t understand. It’s not that I don’t want to help Snowy preserve justice, it’s just that I’m not strong enough. Wouldn’t I become a fool if I can’t live up to her and her father’s expectations?” Zhang Zian shrugged helplessly.

”Quack! Do you still think you're not an idiot?” Richard shouted while pecking at the feather on its chest.

Famous said with confidence, ”It doesn’t matter if you are an idiot. Everything will be fine if I, an angel, am present.”

Zhang Zian seriously thought that this dog was drunk.

”Do you want to go to the dog market with me?” he asked.

Famous nodded seriously, ”Of course, because I am an angel.”

Zhang Zian pointed to the door, ”Alright. If you can walk out of this shop, I will admit that you are an angel.”

Richard fluttered its wings and flew to Zhang Zian's shoulder, it said to Famous without sympathy, ”Forget it. So, you are also an idiot. Let me tell you, don’t even try. Don’t you get it? You can’t leave this shop for the time being.”

Zhang Zian turned his head and stared at Richard—weren’t you also trying to leave when you were here at the beginning? You are in no position to tell others what to do.

Famous walked to the entrance. Bang! Its nose hit an invisible wall and saliva was all over it face. It almost knocked its teeth out.

It was surprised for a moment. Wiping the saliva off its face, it carefully looked forward, and then sniffed. It was certain through its nose and its eyes that there should be no obstacles in front of it, but why couldn’t it go outside?

Famous was unwilling to give up. It reached out its forepaw tentatively, and touched a solid wall. It moved its paw horizontally, finding that this invisible wall seemed to have sealed the entire entrance of the pet shop.

Its heart sank. This was such a familiar situation.

Head down to ponder for a moment, Famous retreated a few steps, made a running start, and then leapt high...

Bang!

It hit the wall so hard this time! Its whole body was stuck on the air wall in a ridiculously amusing way, and then slipped down...

Seeing this, Old Time Tea smiled, and Fina scoffed, while Snowy Lionet was laughing aloud and patting on the cat tree, ”Meow! Meow! Men really are fools!”

Richard fluttered its wings and grinned, ”You're an idiot! Why did you try so hard?”

Hands covering his face, Zhang Zian couldn’t watch it anymore. What a silly dog!

”Are you okay?” he asked with concern. Famous had hit the wall so hard that even Zhang Zian felt its pain.

Dizzy, Famous struggled to pick itself up from the ground, shook its head and stared at the front. It took Famous a while before it could see the world in front of it clearly…

Although it was in pain, Famous was muscular and robust, and wasn’t injured from the clash. It had gotten used to such crashes numerous times in the black box when it tried to leap over the endless darkness, but failed every time.

It had become accustomed to similar pain and disappointment.

Zhang Zian went out through the door easily with Richard on his shoulder, and then came back, and then went out, and back… he demonstrated several times so that Famous could understand.

”You can’t leave this shop right now,” he explained to it. ”This is a setting of the game, which has summoned you from the void to reality, that neither you nor I can modify. Why not stay in the shop for the time being? We can help Snowy later... ”

He picked up the phone and was ready to call Snowy.

”Wait!” said Famous solemnly, holding up a forepaw, ”Give me some time.”

Zhang Zian was stunned. He put the phone down, wondering what it wanted to do.

Famous stood at the door and closed its eyes.

Darkness. It was back to darkness.

The shop was so similar to the black box. Though it was warm and bright in the pet shop, just like the black box, the game was confining its freedom.

In its imagination, it had returned to the black box again, reviewing what happened before the dawn came.

...

It was in the abysmal darkness.

”Meow, do you mean it? After leaving this place, Galaxy will encounter a new owner?” asked the black and white kitten with anticipation.

Famous gasped weakly and replied, ”Yes, you will, but you must leave here first.”

”Meow, Galaxy wants to go out!”

”I want to too, but I can’t...” it said despondently, ”I don’t know how you got out earlier than I, but I'm afraid I'll be stuck here all my life ...”

”Meow… woo...”

Famous moved its ears. Galaxy's movements seemed somewhat strange.

It was futile for Famous to try to see in the darkness. But why was Galaxy on its left side when it ”meow”ed, and then the sound of ”woo” came from its right?
