Chapter 590

~9 min read 1,662 words

The first floor, or ground floor, of the Hall of Thought had no rooms, only doors, windows, and the ground, as well as stairs leading to the upper floors. Because of this, Shiler could observe the situation outside the Hall of Thought through the windows on the first floor.

Because this was a circular tower, the view from the windows was also very broad. At this moment, the tower of the Hall of Thought happened to land in the center of the roundabout at the very center of Cat Getan City, so the situation in the entire center of Cat Getan City was in full view.

After being swallowed by the group of kittens transformed by the Dream of a Thousand Cats, Shiler had guessed what might happen next, but what he didn't expect was that the Dream of a Thousand Cats had directly dragged his entire Hall of Thought into the cats' dream.

After taking a look at the situation outside, Shiler walked back to the center of the first floor. He looked at the Dream King Morpheus. Without him asking, Morpheus explained: "I said before that the Dream of a Thousand Cats is the collective dream of cats. Now, it should have been frightened, so it dragged you all into its dream."

"Just as I said before, cats once ruled the world. Cats were the masters, and humans were the servants. It's just that a thousand people had a dream together, and then replaced reality with the dream, so humans became the masters of the Earth."

"However, the cats' dream did not dissipate because of this; it still exists within the Dream Realm. And in the cats' dream, that world ruled by cats also exists. Just as you see, in the cats' dream, the residents of the world are naturally all cats."

"The first question..." Shiler asked: "Why is there also a Cat Getan in the cats' dream?"

"This..." Morpheus shook his head and said: "Although I said I don't know, it might sound like I'm deliberately unwilling to tell you, but the fact is, I really don't know."

"As far as I know, Cat Getan is a very strange place. The dreams of everyone there bring a cold, dark wind to the Dream Realm. There has never been any place as special as Cat Getan."

"Perhaps, besides the people living there, the cats there are also different. They remember this place cursed by darkness..."

Shiler frowned. Although Morpheus's explanation was ambiguous, Shiler, who had read the comics, had more speculations. Cat Getan was indeed a cursed place; this was beyond doubt. The darkness here was not a simple economic or political issue, but also involved occultism.

If viewed from the perspective of breaking the fourth wall, in any state of the universe, there would be a Cat Getan, because this is the garbage dump of the entire universe, and darkness and chaos eventually flow here.

Since that's the case, it's not strange that there would be such a place in the cats' dream. No matter who rules the world, the darkness of Cat Getan never changes. Perhaps the place where Shiler landed is not the same as Cat Getan in terms of geographical location, but as long as this is a garbage dump of sin, then this is Cat Getan.

Just then, Morpheus turned to Shiler and said: "Although you made a mess of my home, I only let Little Black out because I wanted him to get some air. After all, staying in the Dream Realm all day is boring."

"I didn't expect its reaction to be so intense, and it even moved your house away. But it doesn't matter, I'll take you back now..."

As he spoke, Morpheus's hands lit up with light, but suddenly, Shiler stepped forward and stopped him, saying: "No, I don't want to go back now..."

Morpheus looked at Shiler and said: "Are you sure? But don't blame me for not warning you. Your consciousness has been brought into the cats' dream, so your body is uncontrolled and might fall into eternal sleep..."

"That's even better." Shiler gave an unexpected answer. He revealed a smile that made one's back feel cold.

Morpheus looked at Shiler's smile and felt his back go cold again. He asked: "... What do you want to do?"

Shiler didn't answer. He just stood in the center of the ground floor, looked up, and shouted: "Superego? Superego? Are you there?"

"I am currently enhancing mental defenses. Can't you see that it's a mess outside?" A voice came from upstairs.

Several people on the ground floor turned to look out the window. As expected, this giant building that had suddenly descended into the center of the town had attracted the attention of all the residents of Cat Getan, the City of Cats.

Piercing siren sounds rang out, a number of police cars rushed to the scene, and police cats wearing safety protective gear and helmets entered the scene, set up riot shields, set up roadblocks, and surrounded the gate of the tower in an orderly manner.

Shiler discovered that this wasn't just replacing human roles with cats. These cats were not the anthropomorphic cats that walked on two legs in cartoons, but were very normal, walking on four legs with their tails held high.

The equipment used by these cats was all adapted to the biology of cats. For example, the cars they drove weren't operated by sitting, steering, and stepping on the gas pedal, but by standing in the cockpit on all fours. The controllers for the vehicle's direction and speed were buttons under their feet.

The equipment worn by the police cats was also adapted to the four-legged cat form. Their guns weren't held in their hands, but carried on their backs. Moreover, the weapons weren't live-fire guns that needed reloading, but a type of laser-like weapon.

The communication equipment they wore had one end extending into their ears, with the earpiece hidden in their ear fur, and the other end connected to their mouths. The joystick controlling the firing extended from the side of their neck to their chest. They only needed to extend a claw to flick it to fire.

Shiler saw with his own eyes that in order to clear the curb of the road blocking the front of the tower gate, several cats carrying path-clearing equipment manipulated the laser weapons on their backs, and with a few "pew-pew" sounds, the entire road surface was destroyed.

In addition, the vehicles they drove weren't just cars; there were also small helicopters constantly circling the tower, as well as flying saucers hovering in the air. Clearly, the cats in this dream had developed technological equipment far stronger than that of the Cat Getan in the real world.

Although judging by their size, they should only be a little bigger than ordinary house cats, probably the size of an ordinary Maine Coon, the equipment they deployed around the tower and carried on their bodies was not to be trifled with.

The destructive power of that kind of laser was very strong, and there were many other pieces of equipment that hadn't been fired yet, so it was unknown what the effect would be, but it was definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary humans.

This meant that relying on size advantage to rush into the cat crowd wasn't a good idea. Shiler touched his chin and said: "I think we probably can't beat them, so we should change our approach."

"Wait a minute!" Morpheus interrupted Shiler's plan. He said: "Don't tell me you intend to enter this city. This isn't a good idea. In a world ruled by cats, humans are either slaves or pets. I'd better just take you away..."

Shiler ignored him completely and said to himself: "... However, we can't beat them, so we join them. Superego, are you done? If you're done..."

Shiler dragged out a long note, then looked at Moonlight Shiler, Lex, and Khonshu standing in the center of the room, as well as Jörmungandr poking its head out from behind them. He continued:

"... It's time for the troublemakers to make up for their mistakes."

The two people, one snake, and one bird being stared at by his gaze were all stunned. Lex spoke first: "When I came out of the room, I only saw a cat and a snake, and then that cat disappeared, leaving only that snake..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Jörmungandr. Jörmungandr said irritably: "What does it have to do with me? I'm also a victim. That cat bit me and ran away. Otherwise, I would have made him look good! And it was clearly him who scared the cat..."

Jörmungandr turned his head to look at Moonlight Shiler, who was holding an umbrella sword. Moonlight Shiler didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at Khonshu, meaning that if it weren't for Khonshu suddenly skipping work, he wouldn't have rushed out of the room.

Khonshu turned his head to look at the Dream King, meaning that if it weren't for the Dream King Morpheus chatting with him, he wouldn't have delayed his work time.

Morpheus turned his head to look at DC Shiler, meaning that if it weren't for Shiler bringing him here, he wouldn't have been chatting with Khonshu.

Shiler crossed his arms and snorted coldly, saying: "You still want to blame me?"

Suddenly, with a "pop," a puff of smoke appeared beside DC Shiler. After the smoke dissipated, Shiler had turned into a black cat.

An invisible hand grabbed the back of his neck. The door opened with a "creak." That hand shook Shiler the cat twice, and then with a "whoosh," threw him out the door.

Everyone standing in the center of the room looked at the thrown-out Shiler. They heard the voice just now, called "Superego," say:

"It's time for the troublemaker to make up for his mistakes."
