968 Your Name (1/2)
Zhang Zian was stunned and speechless. What did it mean, physical fight? Should he make a move?
The Warding Off Evil Cat's insistence that his nature was soft like a woman's made him very frustrated. From a young age, he had learned that a gentleman moved his mouth but not his hands. How could he just go out and hit people?
In a seemingly eloquent and indifferent manner, it said, ”In dealing with reactionaries, we need a zero tolerance attitude. Whether it's a swindler or a human trafficker, we cannot tolerate it! First we need to kick them over, then kick them down, and lastly step on them so that they can never rise up again!”
”Wait, wait!” Zhang Zian raised his hand to stop its long-winded essay. ”We live in a legal society. We can't just fight at our own free will. Even if we know that they are swindlers and traffickers, we still have to report them to the public security organizations. After all, ordinary citizens have no right enforcing the law. If they hurt people not out of self-defense, they themselves are breaking the law…”
”Breaking the law?” It looked up and laughed. Its gaze was full of contempt, but it was not contempt that was directed at Zhang Zian. ”If the secular law cannot meet my requirements, then I will smash the old world and build a new world!”
Zhang ZIan finally understood: This was a tough old brother who was going to fight as long as he did not agree with something. It was, in every way, a fighter, and its promises were too large that it was impossible to take what it was saying seriously.
”But, although you have the soft-heartedness of a woman and you always adopt the wrong method of fighting, you at least managed to get rid of the problem. What is the purpose of your coming to the capital to find me?” it asked without shame.
Zhang Zian corrected it. ”Actually, I didn't come to the capital to find you. One reason is that I have something to do myself in the capital. The other is that… recently, there have been cat abuse incidents of varying degrees throughout the country, especially in Binhai City, where I am from. Binhai City seems to be where the cat abuse incidents are originating from, but I found no reports of cat abuse in the capital area, so I came to find out why.”
”Abusing cats?” As soon as it heard it his words, it exploded. ”God d*mn, there's actually that kind of thing?”
”Yes, it's hard to explain in detail.” Zhang Zian nodded his head.
It thought for a moment, put its paws on its lips, whistled, and the stray cats on the walls and roofs around it dispersed as if they had been ordered.
”All right, then I'll go with you to Binhai City to free those meows that have been suffering!” Holding a forepaw tightly, it firmly said, ”Clean up all the harmful bugs––invincible!”
There were too many things to insult that Zhang Zian had no energy to. He raised his phone, entered the catching page of the game, and explained, ”Then can I keep you in my phone temporarily? It is more convenient. Otherwise, you will be tired from the travel from the capital to Binhai City…”
It waved its paws impatiently. ”D*mn it, don't be so long-winded all day long. Just do what's convenient!”
”All right…” Zhang Zian forced all the words he wanted to say back in. He pointed the phone camera at it.
Before he pressed the 'Capture' button, it spoke again. ”Eh! I still don't know what your name is,” it said. ”Report your name to me. This way it is more convenient to talk.”
”I'm called Zhang Zian. I own a pet shop in Binhai City…”
Just after he said that sentence, he was cut off by it again. ”God d*mn! I just asked you for your name. Why are you so long-winded? It's not like I'm introducing you to another person for a matchmaking session!” It vented its discontent.
Zhang Zian's extensive self-introduction was choked back, but it could not be refuted. It had really only asked for his name and nothing else.
”Then what's your name?” he retorted. He was prepared to treat others in the same way.
It rolled its eyes and thought for a while. ”Name… Those in our business usually use aliases. You can call me Vladimir.”
