Chapter 965: Cats in the Middle of the Night
The sound of the cat meowing spread very far on the street at night, but clearly, the city was not short of cat meows.
Only two people were attracted by the cat's meow. One was naturally Xia De. He looked at his cat and was quite sure that Little Mia was looking directly at him. But considering that this cat had also seen an evil god with him, and this cat had even absorbed a wisp of divinity, it didn't seem very surprising that it could see him at this time.
Lei Qianya, who also heard Mia's meow, subconsciously looked in the direction Mia was looking, and then noticed in surprise that Xia De was standing there. Xia De hadn't disappeared in her eyes just now; she had just subconsciously ignored his position. Only when she truly noticed him did she feel that the previous ignoring was so strange.
"Xia De, now..."
The blonde girl walked quickly toward Xia De with the cat in her arms.
"Catch your breath first, don't be so anxious. Don't get close to me now, hold Mia tight, and don't let it touch me."
Xia De continued to walk forward, recognizing from her eyes that it should be Lei Qianya:
"【Dice Story Collection】, I know."
"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Beiya..."
"That's the friend from the Church I once mentioned."
He gave replies one after another in Lei Qianya's surprised eyes, and then asked:
"Lei Qianya, I need to know what's happening now."
"No problem."
Lei Qianya held onto a street lamp pole on the side, but relaxed her hand a few seconds later.
"Meow~"
Mia meowed softly, looking up at Xia De who had walked away. Xia De immediately asked:
"Do Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and the others know that you appeared by my side?"
Duo Luo Qian, who had just opened her eyes, was stunned. While following, she shook her head immediately:
"We only know that you slowed down, we don't know what you are looking at."
"Then continue to walk forward."
Xia De said, and then said worriedly:
"I know the rules myself, and now I know that you haven't appeared in the story for the time being, so don't swap with Duo Luo Qian easily. Such frequent swapping will greatly damage your mental state."
"But this is an Angel-level..."
Xia De saw the worry on Duo Luo Qian's face and explained at a fast speed:
"Is this my first time contacting an Angel-level relic? Don't worry about me. The situation now is that only when a certain target has a direct impact on me, or poses a direct threat to life, can it appear in the story's narration, so you just hold Mia and keep talking to me. What is the situation inside the relic? The three storytellers, found Master Thief Jack?"
"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Beiya's two opponents found him."
Duo Luo Qian stated Master Thief Jack's location directly. The two passed the edge of the light of two gas street lamps and walked toward the next gas street lamp. The patrolling police walked over from afar. The tall police officer in the team just looked at her, thinking it was a girl walking alone late at night.
"That Miss Beiya is in a dilemma. It seems she doesn't want to expose your identity as a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi. Do you need me to bring the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi squad arranged by the Church on Silver Cross Avenue? Let them enter the story and catch Jogori Dius and Lydia Pengelo. Since Mia can let me see you, I should also be able to let the Church's high-level Ring Mages see those two who are stealthing."
"No, for rule-based and story-based relics, don't try to cheat, just use the rules reasonably. And we can't easily introduce other variables into the story."
Xia De looked at the front of the street and said softly:
"Introducing extra variables, each of us has to pass the extra judgment of the dice. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, I mean Miss Beiya, she cannot expose my identity, so every time I make a judgment, I am the one who suffers."
"What do we need to do now?"
Duo Luo Qian asked. She held Little Mia tightly. This cat also rarely kept quiet. Although the writer lady had not experienced similar things, her thinking was very open:
"I am not a character in the story yet, so how about I go and kill Jogori Dius and Lydia Pengelo directly? They are only one-ring, and I am five-ring."
"Can't let you take risks, you are an ordinary person, they are story characters influenced by relic rules, who knows what they will do? I would rather not catch 【Master Thief Jack】 than let you suffer any harm."
Xia De emphasized. Duo Luo Qian curled her lips and was about to say something, when she suddenly saw Xia De's face change:
"I received the next instruction, Miss Beiya asked me to return home directly? Strange, even if she doesn't know what to let me do, she shouldn't let me leave Silver Cross Avenue."
"Let Lei Qianya answer you."
"Wait..."
Without waiting for Xia De to stop her, Duo Luo Qian leaned against the street lamp pole again and stood up immediately. The short-term soul swap made her face look very bad, but the blonde girl didn't complain at all.
The princess who opened her eyes said the current situation:
"Master Thief Jack is moving, moving toward Saint Delan Square. The Church's judgment is wrong, its target is not Yodel Palace at all. The high-level Ring Mages and cultists of the Truth Society passed a judgment as high as 1200 points, learned that the destination was Saint Delan Square, and let Jogori Dius and Lydia Pengelo successfully follow behind 【Master Thief Jack】. Miss Beiya had no choice but to issue an instruction to let you go home."
While she was talking, Xia De clearly perceived the two in "stealth" passing by them in a hurry, but he still couldn't perceive Master Thief Jack's traces.
"Yes, Master Thief Jack is equivalent to non-existent when not stealing. Although it has the power of 【Dice Story Collection】, the judgment required for catching it at this time must be extremely harsh. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's opponents should be thinking of catching it after the theft occurs."
Xia De's pace remained unchanged, after all, he was already walking in the direction of home just now:
"Saint Delan Square? I don't know which of my neighbors will be so unlucky."
Hearing Xia De's words, the blonde girl looked at him, but didn't say her guess:
"In addition, Miss Beiya's opponents are high-level Ring Mages of the 【Truth Society】 and cultists who believe in evil gods."
She and Xia De turned at the street corner and left Silver Cross Avenue. The lights suddenly dimmed, and it was about seven minutes away from entering Saint Delan Square.
"But who will be the target of that thief?"
Lei Qianya asked again. Xia De shook his head:
"Including tenants and homeowners like me who occupy the entire house, there are no less than 100 families living in Saint Delan Square. Anyone could be its target, and our only advantage now is that as a story character, I can directly learn things that I shouldn't know as my identity from the Keeper through you."
"Xia De, this situation is very unfavorable for you, maybe I can do something for you."
Lei Qianya said softly on the side, and the cat stared at the darkness around, its amber eyes looking like it noticed something.
"My knight, I must do something for you at this time."
"Lei Qianya, what you have done for me is enough. Now walk with me and return to Saint Delan Square with me. We have to confirm which unlucky family was stolen from before we can take action. The two walking in front of us will enter the Saint Delan Square area in a few minutes, and although Miss Beiya cannot manipulate me to use the power of a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, we actually have other methods. Once we must enter the battle scene, I need your help."
"Okay, Xia De."
Lei Qianya was about to nod, but found that Xia De took the initiative to stop. She looked around in surprise, and suddenly found that the lights around were all extinguished at some point. The drifting dark clouds covered the galaxy and the moon, and large swaths of darkness wrapped around, and even the light from the windows of the surrounding buildings disappeared.
It was extremely quiet around, and this quietness even brought a certain inexplicable fear. Lei Qianya subconsciously hugged Little Mia tightly, and then moved closer to Xia De:
"I perceived the whispers element? Relic? But how could it be?"
As the voice fell, she noticed that her voice was so hoarse. The blonde girl was surprised by the instinctive reaction of this body, and then finally saw pairs of green eyes appearing densely in the darkness around.
Accompanied by those gazes, the darkness was slightly illuminated, and Lei Qianya and Xia De saw dense wild cats surrounding them. It was like dense locusts, or dense white maggots in rotten corpses.
The whispers element suppressed all light and sound around, and the wild cats gathered toward the two in the darkness. They stood up from a squatting posture together:
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
The continuous shrill cat meows swept over like waves, making Lei Qianya's hair stand on end in the dark night. She never knew that cat meows were so terrible.
The shrill meows were like the last wails of a dying person in the dark night, and like the low roars of indescribable things hidden in the darkness in horror stories. Thousands of wild cats gathered toward the two in the darkness, and the light of the cat eyes became more and more terrifying.
Lei Qianya, who subconsciously wanted to summon the Fate Ring, was shocked to find that the thick air seemed to be suppressing her own power.
In a trance, the group of cats had surrounded them to their feet. Black, white, orange, coffee-colored, cats of various colors had similar strange temperaments. When the dense wild cats approached with screams, Lei Qianya felt that she might never like cats again.
Just when she wanted to burst out with strange art power regardless, the cold body perceived warmth, which was the temperature of the cat she was holding. In an instant, it was as if she had reached spring from the cold winter. Little Mia's body temperature was so reassuring at this moment, and the princess felt that she would still like cats.
"A relic related to a group of cats."
Xia De's voice clearly reached the ears of Duo Luo Qian's body. Lei Qianya finally came back to her senses and walked forward quickly, sticking to Xia De's back at a distance that would not touch him. Xia De's body was glowing in the dark. Lei Qianya knew this was one of Xia De's strange skills. She had seen it several times in the dark night.
The stable silver-white moonlight at this time was so joyful, and Lei Qianya even felt that she was blushing for some reason:
"What should we do now?"
"My luck hasn't been bad enough to encounter a dangerous relic while walking at night. It seems that the story has a new change. However, this time it is considered lucky. Although it is on the verge of losing control, the whispers element is not very strong. This kind of relic is probably document-level... Lei Qianya, you probably need to do it. Hold the 【Night Watcher】, and then try to..."
Lei Qianya is not a story character. If the relic is driven away by the princess, the story development might become "encountering a relic on the road but driven away by a powerful Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi".
But before Xia De finished speaking, Little Mia, who was held in Lei Qianya's arms, stretched out her small head from the blonde girl's arm quite unhappily and looked at the cats around.
It was never afraid of its own kind, and always hated any other cat getting close to Xia De. Its amber eyes stared at the surrounding cats, and just as it wanted to meow to respond to the continuous cat meows, the moonlight and starlight spilled from the high sky, and the gas street lamps and window lights around returned one after another.
The whispers element gradually subsided. Those cats with strange light in their eyes, which were gradually surrounding the two, stopped their steps when the small Mia saw them, and then bowed their heads slightly, retreating into the shadows like a receding tide, and disappeared.
Xia De, who was halfway through his sentence, was stunned and looked around in surprise:
"Hmm? Where is the relic? Why did it disappear before we even took action?"
【Who knows?】
Only "she" was laughing softly. ===== CHAPTER 966 =====
