Chapter 83 (2/2)

It was relatively quiet, so Zheng Tan could hear the two cats fighting He could tell fro well The other cat was the only oneTan wasn't worried He proudly walked his way over

He didn't plan to join the fight He had done his part tonight and the long-haired cat was already hoat had the black cat all to hihts Now that he thought about it, Nougat was fighting a street fight

Zheng Tan took note of the architecture of the buildings around him He had never been here before It was said this was a bad area of town and he had avoided entering the heart of this maze of narrow streets He followed the two cats ere still fighting to a building enclosed by a tall fence Inside the fence was probably the construction project that was never co The project was supposed to be huge, the land it occupied was certainly large enough

Zheng Tan doubted this area was going to stay deserted for long It was close to the university and was in the city

A loud shriek drew hihts The sound appeared suddenly and stopped just as abruptly

This was not a sound that cats ht It sounded like it was the other cat at was not safe from it

He hoped things weren't that bad

Zheng Tan ran toward the sound as fast as he could He kept his footsteps light though he was running and kept an eye on his surroundings He hadn't seen anything to worry about when they cas and cats around here were nothing to worry about, but huhTan knew from his past experience that there still existed people who could kill a dog or a cat without batting an eyelid

Zheng Tan didn't jump over the fence immediately He had no idea what the other side was like He didn't know if there would be a place for hieoff and the rust on the lock showed how long this site had been deserted

Zheng Tan perked up his ears but didn't hear anything h a sap under the door

Without a torchlight, the ht source he could rely on

He was a cat, so he could still see relatively clearly

About a hundredThe courtyard was in a bad state Weeds flourished andfor an eerie sight

The building seeht for any intruders

A gust of wind blew by

Zheng Tan smelled blood

The blood of a cat

He had smelled cat blood when he had been captured It was different from human blood

He was starting to worry and cautiously proceeded toward the smell

He navigated his way around the piles of trash Then he saw it

By the building was the body of a cat Ten at Now it lay on the floorfroer visible It had died a violent death The person who had done this had smashed the cat's head repeatedly

The instru nearby It was a rake that still had the s Tan had predicted

Zheng Tan didn't have tiat was

He walked around the courtyard but didn't see Nougat This was possibly good news

Was the kitten inside the building or had he left already?

The dead cat was lying close the building, so it was likely that Nougat had run inside to hide If he had left the site, Nougat would haveTan know

The at was inside the building, hiding in a corner somewhere

Zheng Tan decided to check He had watched Nougat grow up and he was the one who had acco him home
