Chapter 363: The Cat's Power

"The plan is like this."

After finishing greeting the happy cat, Xia De greeted the priest and sat down with him, while Mrs. Freeman sat on a single sofa further away holding the boy.

"Don't move."

Letting the cat keep quiet on his lap, Xiao Miya stared with big eyes, watching Xia De cover it with a pillowcase. A few seconds later, the pillowcase sank slightly, as if Xiao Miya had shrunk out of thin air. Taking the pillowcase away, a Xiao Miya wooden toy that had shrunk by about a third appeared on Xia De's lap.

The oil painting was placed on the coffee table, and Xia De placed the Xiao Miya wooden toy on the oil painting:

"We can't interfere with the inside of the oil painting from outside the oil painting, but things inside the oil painting can interfere with the inside of the oil painting."

He said and let go of his hand. The lifelike cute wooden puppet with Xiao Miya's big eyes immediately melted into the oil painting. Because the puppet was too big, it didn't enter the model house, but came to the table, and changed from the puppet form back to the normal form.

Suddenly appearing in a strange environment, this cat again showed a look of fear. But before it could puff up, Xia De's hand reached into the oil painting and gently patted the cat's little head.

"Meow~"

Now the orange cat wasn't afraid anymore. It narrowed its eyes and lowered its head to lick its paws. This cat trusted Xia De quite a bit; where Xia De was, there would be no danger.

"This, go touch this."

After patting it a few times, Xia De's hand pointed to the house toy model on the table again. Because he didn't know if the sound outside could be transmitted inside, Xia De's hand also gestured a few times.

The cat, which had become increasingly smart recently, immediately looked at the direction of the finger, which was the house toy model. But because the pet cat had always been very well-behaved, it didn't have the habit of destroying items at will. It just squatted there, stretching its head to rub against Xia De's hand, staring with amber eyes, just looking, but not moving.

"Since that's the case..."

Xia De thought for a moment, and reached out to touch the house model again. After his hand was blocked by the invisible barrier, he shook his hand in the oil painting, making the appearance of his hand being injured. After making a weak wail outside the picture, he dropped his hand to the table, twitched once, and the hand didn't move as if it were dead.

Priest Ao Gu Si was holding back laughter on the side.

"Meow!"

Xiao Miya immediately showed a look of fear in the picture, stretched its head to rub against the "dead" hand, and seeing that it really didn't move, it immediately blocked in front of Xia De's hand, and made a threatening look toward the house model.

Seeing that the other party didn't move at all, nor did it roar at it, the cat's courage suddenly grew. Lowering its head, the orange cat made a charge, directly bumping the house model and moving it two inches (about 5.08 cm) toward the edge of the table.

Seeing that the other party still didn't move, the cat's courage grew even more. Using its head to resist the model, it pushed it slowly toward the edge of the table. As more than half of the model's base hung in the air, it finally fell to the ground outside the oil painting picture, disappearing from the range that Xia De and Priest Ao Gu Si could observe.

For the first time, the sound of the house model crashing came from the picture.

Xia De fished the cat out of the oil painting. The cat was calling excitedly, rubbing against Xia De's right hand, and its tail was also wagging, as if happy that it had done a great thing.

"Is it over?"

The priest frowned and asked. After all, destroying the house in the picture could lift the influence, which was just their guess.

But at least when the house fell to the ground, neither Xia De nor the boy suffered any harm, which showed that at least the relationship between them and the puppets passively bearing damage had been lifted.

"Wait. Quick, Mrs. Freeman, quick, hold the child and retreat to the wall!"

Black smoke suddenly drifted out of the oil painting. The priest and Xia De stood up immediately, while the middle-aged woman reacted a step slower.

That black smoke had already fallen on the floor, over two meters and five centimeters tall, a monster wrapped in bandages, revealing only one eye, and wearing a black broken hat on its head, actually appeared in the real world.

It seemed to have no reason at all. After appearing in the real world, it first raised its head and roared, then the right hand wrapped in black smoke held a knife and stabbed at the boy in Mrs. Freeman's arms, who was closest to it.

Xia De raised his hand and swung the moonlight, but the priest's speed was faster, and the gray light group in his hand also flew out. It was just that even if neither of them moved, the boy wouldn't be in trouble, because another stream of black smoke flew out of the oil painting, and the undead Mr. Freeman blocked the monster's weapon with his soul.

This was a real undead. It seemed that with the destruction of the house model, not only the bandaged puppet, but even the soul that hadn't been digested in the painting could escape. It was just that the soul looked very weak, and after being slashed by the bandaged monster in the real world, it became even weaker.

He turned around sadly. Mrs. Freeman and the boy couldn't see his soul state.

Xia De's moonlight and the priest's gray light group had already arrived behind the monster at this time. The moonlight cut off its head, and the gray light group directly exploded its chest.

This thing was really weak and pitiful. After receiving such an injury, it slowly turned into ashes and disappeared.

And looking at that oil painting again, the bandaged puppet stood alone at the position of the original house model, motionless as if it were really a puppet. It seemed that it would only exert its characteristics again after this painting was brought into a new building and the oil painting itself was touched by someone.

After waiting for a while and confirming that the matter was completely resolved, Xia De and Priest Ao Gu Si finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's over, Mrs. Freeman, don't worry, this matter is over."

The old priest comforted.

"In the future, will it..."

The middle-aged woman was really scared to death.

"Rest assured, this matter is completely over, but we will take this painting away. If you are still worried, you can go to the church to pray... oh, I remember you don't believe in our Lord 【Mr. Dawn】. Madam, do you want to listen to the teachings of our Lord? May the light of dawn always shine upon us!"

Priest Ao Gu Si said happily while drawing a holy emblem on his chest, while Mrs. Freeman smiled awkwardly and said to Xia De again:

"It's really troublesome for the two of you, please take this painting away, we don't dare to keep it."

She held the boy's hand and wanted to bow to thank the two. But the boy was looking around, only, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see Mr. Freeman who was helplessly standing on the side looking at them at this moment.

He was already dead, and his soul hadn't been completely absorbed by the relic, so he could be saved. But dead was dead, and a weak soul couldn't be seen by ordinary people.

Xia De held the cat, while Priest Ao Gu Si simply explained the cause and effect of the whole thing to Mrs. Freeman, letting her understand that this matter was completely over.

Subsequently, the priest gave Xia De a wink, letting him take Mrs. Freeman and the boy to Doctor Schneider's clinic to pick up the little girl, while Xia De was responsible for dealing with this painting.

When the group parted downstairs at the rental apartment, Mrs. Freeman still held Xia De's hand and thanked him endlessly. After they left, Xia De held Xiao Miya in one hand and carried the painting folder containing the oil painting in the other, then looked at the soul standing in the shadow of the house beside him.

To deal with this relic, he still had to go to the doctor's place. Priest Ao Gu Si didn't go with Xia De, in order to let Xia De stay to deal with this soul, persuading it to continue walking, instead of staying here. ===== CHAPTER 364 =====
