341 Chapter 341
"Cats?" Awashima Shiri looked at Kirito's in surprise: "You are asking those stray cats?" ”
"En......" Kirito bowed his head: "Yesterday I saw on the TV news that the Black Lily Company seems to have gone bankrupt, I don't know if the stray cat that was sent before is still alive?" ”
There is a good Asakura to help treat, and all the wounds on Kirito's body were healed on the same day, and the hospital kept Kirito for two more days for safety, and did a series of examinations to confirm that Kiritu was discharged after healing.
When he was discharged from the hospital, he also encountered some small troubles, because Kirito was admitted to the hospital by gunshot, and he recovered on the same day after the shooting, which attracted the attention of many doctors, and some people even secretly called the government department, but fortunately, this abnormal state will be reported to R4, Awashima Seri directly took out his ID card and took Kirito and Asuna who insisted on being discharged.
After being discharged from the hospital, for safety reasons, R4 prepared an apartment for Kirito, and Kirito called home and said that there was an important experiment to do, and after not going home for the time being, he bought some daily necessities and lived in the apartment temporarily.
Asuna is worried about Kirito, plus she has been staying in the hospital, and Kirito has a deep relationship, if the enemy can't find Kirito and secretly attack Asuna, Kirito will definitely regret it for life, considering these, Awashima Shiri simply lives in an apartment, and Asuna stays.
After settling down, Kirito proposed to Awashima Seri about adopting a stray cat.
"I personally brought those stray cats into the company, even if it was for investigation, I ...... If there are live cats, I would like to adopt them. ”
Kirito's expression was a little uneasy and guilty, and Awashima Shiri smiled slightly when he saw it, I have to say that this big boy is quite innocent, and at the same time very kind.
Thinking of the relationship between Kirito and the Blue King, Awashima Shiri pondered that Kirito Bacheng would also join R4 in the future, and couldn't help but treat Kirito as a junior brother, and Kirito's request was not too much, so Awashima Shiri contacted Fushimi Sarue Hiko.
"The stray cats that were rescued?" Fushimi Saruhiko told Awashima Shiri, "Those cats have been sent to the Stray Cat Rescue Society. ”
After getting the news, Awashima asked Fushimi, "I'll take Kirito to the rescue society, is it okay?" ”
Fushimi Sarubiko asked Zenjo Fortitude, and received an affirmative answer: "It's okay, it's the territory of our former subordinates of the Blue King, those cats...... The strength is so strong, it's definitely going to be fine, and if Kirito's willingness to stay in the rescue club, you'll be able to return to the team. ”
Awashima Shiri was stunned: "Is the team busy?" ”
Fushimi Saruhiko hehe: "It's already busy into a pot of porridge, all the people of the Red Tribe, like a-stirring stick, will make a mess of Tokyo, and the rabbits of the King of Gold are also searching everywhere, but compared to the former, the world's chickens and dogs are jumping, and the subordinates of the King of Gold still know not to attract the attention of ordinary people, our R4 is like a firefighting team, stopping the Red Clan everywhere, in short...... If you can come back, come back and help. ”
After hearing this, Awashima Shiri muttered, "Okay, I'll go to the rescue society to take a look." ”
The storefront store of the Stray Cat Rescue Society looks small from the outside, and Awashima Seri walked into the store with Kirito and Asuna, and a tall screen was erected at the entrance of the store, and a painting hung on the screen, all of which were cat faces like coloring blocks, and the cat's eyes on the faces of countless cats were staring at the door, as if they were doormen.
Awashima Seri knocked on the door frame: "Excuse me?" Is the fire fan manager here? ”
In the middle of the night, a gray cat came out of it lazily, and he sat at the door and meowed at Awashima Shiri.
Awashima Shiri was stunned for a moment, and she tentatively said, "The store manager is not here?" ”
Ash Meow screamed again.
Awashima Shiri looked at Kirito beside him, and asked Gray Meow again: "This is Kiriya Kazuto, he wants to adopt the stray cat that he rescued from the Black Lily Technology Company before, can we go in?" ”
Ash Meow licked his paws, and he stood up and meowed after circling Kirito and Asuna.
Awashima Seri tentatively walked into the store: "Okay?" ”
Ash Meow pressed her head against Awashima Shiri's calf, and then bit Kirito's trouser leg and pulled it in.
Awashima Shiri immediately understood: "Kirito-kun can go in?" I can't? And what about Asuna? ”
Ash Meow meows again, and Awashima Seri understands, and she says to Kirito, "You and Asuna go in, this cat...... Lady Cat, is this okay? ”
Since Fushimi Saruhiko was re-taught to be a human by the big white cat that resides in R4, all R4 members have been extremely cautious when they see the cat, not only will they change their name, but they will even call it cat if they don't know their gender or can't see it.
…… Well, quite respectfully.
At this moment, hearing Awashima Shiri say this, a smile flashed in Gray Meow's eyes, and he nodded and got out of the way.
Kirito and Asuna were dumbfounded as they watched the communication between Awashima Shiri and the gray cat, and Kirito said incredulously, "Miss Awashima, this cat...... Can you understand people? ”
Awashima Seri: "The cats of the rescue club are very powerful! They are very spiritual, you can ask them any questions, how long are you going to stay here? ”
If the time is short, she will wait at the door for a while, and after a long time, she will simply return to the team to help the team deal with things, and come back to pick up Kirito and Asuna in the evening.
Kirito was surprised, "Are you saying there's no one in the store?" The store manager is not there? Are these cats the only ones? ”
Awashima Shiri nodded: "It seems to be so. ”
Kirito looked at Asuna, and the two seemed to have made the same decision, Kirito said, "Miss Awashima, Asuna and I are waiting here for the store manager." ”
Awashima Shiri raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little subtle, Kirito was worried about this house of cats?
She patted Kirito on the shoulder, and her tone was a little playful: "Then I'll leave it to you." ”
After Awashima Seri left, Kirito and Asuna walked hand in hand into the aid shop, bypassing the screen, and suddenly the large room in front of them was ...... Ahhhhhh
Asuna's eyes couldn't be taken off for a moment.
"Good, so cute!"
Kirito pursed his lips: "Did the store manager go out without even closing the door?" It's so responsible. ”
As soon as Kirito finished speaking, a gentle female voice rang out.
"Welcome!"
Kirito and Asuna were stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned red.
"I'm sorry! We didn't know there was anyone in the store! ”
The silver-haired woman was Claudia, and she smiled and waved her hand, "No, it's me who should apologize...... The store manager went out, and it was not safe on the street recently, so the store manager specifically told me that if it wasn't for the guests invited in by the cat, I wouldn't let me come forward, but ......"
She stepped forward and touched the gray cat's head, raising a smile: "You are the guests invited by the cat, so I came to entertain you, I'm sorry to frighten you......"
Kirito and Asuna glanced at each other, their expressions softened, and Kirito said: "I'm Kirito, this is Asuna, and we're here to adopt stray cats." ”
Claudia smiled, "I'm Kitty, what cat do you want to adopt?" Breed cat words...... Our breed cats here are all abandoned cats with genetic diseases, and here are more stray cats and common cats. ”
“…… I want to adopt a cat rescued from Black Lily Tech. Kirito bowed his head and said, "I don't know if they're still there?" ”
Claudia paused, glanced at Kirito, and said softly: "Yes, but the cats rescued from that company are dangerous, Kirito-kun, you ......"
"Please let me adopt them!" Kirito said seriously, "I'm not afraid of danger. ”
Claudia sighed, "Is Miss Asuna going to adopt too?" ”
Asuna shook her head, "No, I'm here with Kirito." ”
Claudia apologized, "Then would you please wait next door now?" Adopting a cat is such a thing...... Always let the owner and pet look at each other. ”
Asuna smiled, "Okay. ”
Claudia took Asuna to the next room first, there were also a few cats in the room, there was a coffee table in the middle, and there was tea and dumplings on the coffee table, the gray cat barked at Asuna, Asuna had a smile in her eyes, and she asked Claudia: "Is this inviting me?" ”
Claudia smiled and nodded, "Yes, the cats in the store are very cute." ”
Asuna sat in front of the coffee table with a smile on her face and waved at Kirito: "Go Kirito, I'll wait for you here." ”
Kirito nodded, he followed Claudia through the cloister to the back room, Claudia opened one of the rooms and whispered, "Kirito...... Why do you want to adopt a cat from the Black Lily Company? ”
Kirito was silent for a while before he said, "I didn't know what Black Lily Technology Company was up to, I only knew that I could send stray cats there, and they would adopt these cats, so I sent a few cats that were very close to me." ”
Claudia took Kirito and continued to walk, I don't know why, Kirito suddenly had a desire to talk, he said: "Later, I learned that the company collected stray cats for experiments, I regretted it, and I felt guilty, I heard on TV a few days ago that the company went bankrupt, so I tried to ask the official staff who blocked the company, and they said that the stray cats were all sent here, and I wanted to come and see ......"
"If those cats are still alive, I will take them home this time, even if my aunt and cousin don't like me......"
Claudia looked back at Kirito, and a soft smile flashed in her eyes, "Kirito is such a good boy." ”
"We're here."
She pushed open the door, and inside the door was a small room, with various mats on one side, and on the mats lay several strange-looking cats, some hairless, some with only one ear, some blind in the eyes, some with broken limbs, and some barely recognizable as cats, more like leopards than cats.
Kirito subconsciously covered his mouth: "This is ......"
"These are the remaining cats in the lab, they were all miserable before, but now they're fine." Claudia lowered her head, her long eyelashes covering her eyes: "There may still be experimental drugs left in these cats, although we have already checked them, but some drugs do not know the incubation period, so they are still very dangerous, even so......"
She looked up at Kirito with a twinkle in her eyes, "Do you still want to adopt them?" ”
Kirito was stunned for a moment, and the next second he said loudly: "I will!" I'm here to give them a home. ”
Claudia looked at Kirito, and she showed a bright smile: "Well, I believe in you." ”
She sat down, looked at the cat on the mat, and whispered, "Really, really...... Thank you, Kirito-kun. ”
Kirito blinked and said blankly, "...... Why do you say that all of a sudden, Miss Kitty? ”
“…… Actually, I also escaped from Black Lily Technologies...... Experimental specimens. ”
Claudia whispered, "I'm ...... with these cats."
She reached out and picked up a cat that she couldn't see, looking sad and pained: "It's the same......"
Kirito said incredulously, "How come? You...... That company actually conducted human experiments! It's really ......."
Claudia said softly, "Does Kirito know the powerhouse?" ”
Kirito nodded, he has been hospitalized for the past two days, and Awashima Shiri has popularized science to him.
"The black hand behind that company seems to be the capable one." Claudia's expression darkened, but then she cheered up again: "I'm very grateful to the store manager, he took me in, it's like Kirito-kun wants to give these cats a home, the store manager ...... Although it didn't talk much, it was very nice to me, and staying here was like being at home. ”
She touched the cat in her arms, and said in a soft tone: "Actually, the store manager also seems to have a very powerful ability, he made some arrangements at the door of the store before going out, he told me not to worry, no one with the ability can come in, the lady who came with you...... Even if she forced her in, she would be stopped. ”
Although ordinary people can enter the house, but there are cats staring, and Zhishui has arranged illusions in the passage, which can make people involuntarily say what is in their hearts, so that Claudia can tell whether the ordinary people who enter the store are harmful to her, and it can be said that Zhishui has the best protection before going out.
Kirito was dumbfounded: "I see, but Miss Awashima is very good, and she is a national civil servant, and there is a national department for dealing with foreign abilities, if you have any requirements and questions, you can actually ask her." ”
Claudia was stunned: "Really? I escaped from Black Lily Technology while it caught fire, but I didn't know about it......"
Kirito nodded, "If you don't mind, when Miss Awashima comes to pick me up in the evening, you can meet her with me!" ”
Claudia hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Okay." ”
"Huh!? Miss Kitty is actually ...... too."
Kirito and Claudia returned to the lounge with their chosen cat, and when Claudia reintroduced herself, Asuna was surprised.
Claudia: "It's all right, I've run out of there." ”
Kirito gently groomed the cat in his arms, although he wanted to adopt all the cats, but unfortunately several of them still had unknown experimental drugs in their bodies, the danger was too high, Claudia was told to stop the water, and no one was allowed to adopt, so Kirito finally retreated and chose the blind cat that couldn't see with his eyes, but the body data report was normal.
Kirito nodded, but he hesitated, "Miss Kitty should take the time to find a place to check your body, in case the experiment has any effect on you......"
Claudia frowned, she covered her head, and whispered, "Actually...... My memory is not very complete, sometimes I wake up in another place, sometimes I am wearing different clothes, nothing else. ”
Kiritto didn't know much about this experiment, so he could only comfort, "We can ask Awashima-sama when she comes." ”
Claudia smiled.
Asuna asked, "Speaking of which, where did the store manager go?" ”
Claudia said, "Early this morning, the store manager took Neko with him, ah, Neko is my friend...... He went out with Neko and said that he was going to a place to find his relatives. ”
"Looking for relatives?"
"Well, listening to the store manager, it seems that his uncle went somewhere, and there has been no news for three days, so he went out with some worries."
Kirito sighed, "Tokyo has been in chaos lately. ”
Claudia also sighed: "Yes, I don't even dare to go out." ”
Asuna patted Claudia on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Miss Kitty, Miss Awashima is very nice, we will ask her to help you." ”
Claudia looked at Asuna and Kirito gratefully, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome."
At noon, Asuna came forward to order takeout, and the three of them chatted while helping the cats groom in the store, and Kirito was surprised to find that Miss Claudia has a very advanced knowledge of physics, and the experiment on the quantization of the human soul, Kirito just mentioned the beginning, and Miss Claudia can roughly judge the core and future development direction of this technology.
Facing Kirito's admiring eyes, Claudia was a little proud: "Because I'm a physicist myself." ”
"Ahh It's amazing! Asuna said in frustration, "I'm not good at science......"
"It's simple, I'm better than my brother." Claudia said of her brother with a smug smile: "My brother's research direction is the same as mine, but ......"
But after all these years, Adolf ...... I'm afraid I'm going to die a long time ago, right?
Claudia's expression darkened again, and Kirito and Asuna looked at each other, not understanding why the woman in front of her was sad again.
Just then, a long meow came from outside.
Claudia was stunned for a moment, and she said, "There are guests, it should be the capable one." ”
Kirito frowned: "I'll take a look." ”
But soon Kirito returned, and he smiled, "It's Miss Awashima who came to pick us up." ”
He looked at Claudia with encouraging eyes, "Miss Ketty, are you coming?" ”
Claudia hesitated, she took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Ah, I want to see her." ”
When Kirito, Asuna, and Claudia came out of the room, they saw Awashima Seri standing in the hallway with a black and white meow staring at him.
Kirito smiled, "Miss Awashima, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”
Awashima straightened up, and she smiled, "It's nothing...... Kindness? This is ......"
Her gaze fell on Claudia.
Claudia pursed her lips, she spoke, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Awashima Shiri's face suddenly change.
"Wait! You! You're wanted by the Red Clan! ”
Awashima Shiri suddenly recognized Claudia, wasn't this the woman she was looking for by the King of Gold and the King of Red?
She immediately said, "Please come with me to R4 immediately!" ”
Claudia was startled, and she subconsciously took a step back: "No, I ......"
Kirito was also stunned, and he stepped forward to block Claudia: "Miss Awashima, what the hell is going on?" Wanted or something...... Why?! ”
Awashima Seri clenched the knife at her waist, and she stared at Claudia tightly: "Get out of the way!" Kirito, it was she who made the ten bundles of the Red Clan disappear, and we r4 suspect that the disappearance of the Blue King also has something to do with her! ”
“…… What the? The disappearance of Kim-san? Something to do with Miss Ketty? Kirito shook his head again and again, and he said at a loss: "How is it possible?" Miss Kitty is just an experiment with Black Lily Technologies, she's a victim! ”
Awashima Shiri said loudly: "Kirito, stay away from her!" Even if it's an experimenter, she may still be carrying something unknown that could hurt you! ”
Kirito is still explaining to Claudia: "Miss Awashima, Miss Kitty is not that kind of person, she ......"
Remembering Claudia's gloomy expression when she was holding the experimentally disabled cat, Kirito said firmly, "I...... Trust her! Miss Kitty won't hurt me. ”
Awashima Shiri sneered: "She didn't even tell you her real name, you actually believe her!?" ”
Kirito was stunned.
"Miss Claudia, how long do you want to hide behind Kirito?!"
Awashima Shiri couldn't bear it anymore, and she pulled out the long knife at her waist.
Now that the Red King and the Golden King are looking for Claudia, if R4 finds Claudia first, as long as they can get the news of the disappearance ability from Claudia first, maybe they can get the king back! In this way, R4 can puff up his chest when facing the Veducus and the Courtyard of Time, and there is no R4 with the king in charge...... There's not even R4 where the sect is like a room, so it's no different from a fish belly!
Kirito gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry Miss Awashima, I still can't watch Miss Kitty be taken away by you!" ”
He jerked the sluggish Claudia and yelled, "Get out! ”
Claudia staggered back, then took a deep look at Kirito, and rushed to the store without looking back, Awashima Seri tried to pursue, but was stopped by Kirito, Awashima Seri let the boy go to one side, and was about to continue the chase, when the large screen at the entrance suddenly trembled, and the countless cats painted on the screen suddenly jumped out of the painting!!
Asuna screamed, "These cats...... Is it alive!? ”
Countless cats and cats are like the sea overwhelming meow~~~~~~~ screaming and knocking down Awashima Shiri and Kirito, they drown the two with their soft and fluffy bodies, and Awashima Shiri doesn't dare to really catch the cat with heavy hands, what if you encounter a big white meow similar to a white cherry blossom? She doesn't want to be a pig's head like Fushimi!
So she could only struggle helplessly in the sea of cats, and when she finally found her knife and struggled to stand up, Claudia was gone.
Awashima Shiri glanced at Kirita helplessly, and she immediately contacted Fushimi Sarubiko: "Fushimi, the wanted criminal is in the stray cat rescue club!" ”
When Fushimi Saruhiko received the news, he immediately monitored the area around the rescue committee, and soon he got the news.
"Found it, the target left through the back door of the rescue society, and is now running east."
Awashima Shiri immediately said: "Send the specific route to my terminal, and I'll chase it!" ”
"Okay, I'll send someone over to support, you hold on first."
"Understood." 166 Reading Network
