C221 Black Cat Repayment (1/2)
I could only shake my head at Tang Rong. It was fortunate that I was able to escape from that woman's hands again tonight. How could I have the heart to care about that puppet?
”That's not right. Did the puppet run away by itself?”
Tang Rou seemed to care about this matter a lot. She just stood there, frowning and thinking. After about half an hour, those people had already quickly left. Tang Rou and I waited for another ten minutes to make sure that there was no one else before quietly returning.
The jade that used to have the soul of a female ghost was hidden in a gap at the corner of the stairs. Unless it was me, no one would be able to find it.
Walking into the dark corridor once again, he could feel that most of the Yin Qi had already been dispersed. First, the setting of the Yin Gathering Pool had been removed by those people, and they must have done something else here.
Although such a commotion had been created, it was not like the other small districts where many people had come to watch the show. In fact, the number of lights in the small districts did not exceed a single digit.
Following my memories, I touched the crack all the way and reached my hand in. As expected, I found that piece of jade.
I let out a sigh of relief, but just as I turned around, I suddenly saw Tang Rou's expression change.
Instinctively, I fished out my old dagger and prepared to fight. Right now, I have already become a frightened bird. With a slight movement in the wind and grass, I would immediately enter a state of preparation for battle.
But after I saw clearly, Tang Rou's gaze was directed towards a certain direction. She slowly put down her blade because at this moment, she wasn't facing an enemy, but rather the big black cat that had disappeared for a period of time.
From the looks of it, it seemed to be heavily injured. I remembered that the big black cat had helped me to block it more than once and that the attack of the man in black had saved my life.
I instinctively wanted to go closer to check on the big black cat's injuries, but that big black cat seemed to fear me. After seeing me approach, it immediately bends its body and roars.
The big black cat barked at me twice, and then, limping, crawled all the way down the stairs. Looking at me, I felt a pang in my heart.
”Why hasn't this cat left? It seems like it wants to give us directions.”
Tang Rou walked over and lightly pushed me a bit. I didn't reply, but simply followed the big black cat out of the stairs, and sure enough, the big black cat went into a abandoned flower pond next to us. Under the cold moonlight, I could see that there was already a hole a dozen or so centimeters deep in the ground, and at the edge of the hole, there was another black cat's corpse.
I understood at once.
The two black cats should have been a pair, but one of them was killed by the masked man to become a puppet, so the big black cat had always wanted revenge. Now that its companion's body was exposed, it naturally wanted to bury it.
”You want me to help you bury your companion's body?”
Tang Rou went over and squatted down. The big black cat slowly nodded its head.
When I attacked the black clothed man, the special ability that I revealed was also personally witnessed by me. However, from the looks of it, the situation of this big black cat is not optimistic, it might fall down and die at any time.
