“……”

There was no response from the other party.

"Hello?"

Bai Yanliang said hello again.

“……”

There was still no sound on the other side of the phone.

Bai Yanliang put down his phone and ended the call.

Strange people, strange phone calls, who called?

Bai Yanliang glanced at the number, ready to memorize it, but ...... This time his expression changed a little.

Because this number turned out to be his own.

A prank done by technical means?

Still is...... Is it really him calling himself?

"Tick ......"

A drop of water fell on Bai Yanliang's mobile phone screen.

He looked up at the dark night sky, and unexpectedly ...... It's raining.

Recent...... Too many strange things have happened, Bai Yanliang is not as relaxed as he seems on the surface, although there are almost no ups and downs in his emotions, but he also has the pressure that should be there.

Who was the woman you saw before the world was shattered?

Who was calling?

Who is the criminal who is very similar to him mentioned by Li Mu......

What is it in that apartment that creates illusions?

Where does the key to research come from?

What is the relationship between the wind sleeves and the researchers......

Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment and closed his eyes.

He didn't dodge the raindrops.

At this time, a small voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Meow—"

Bai Yanliang thought that he had heard it wrong, how could there be a cat barking in the sound of the rain?

It wasn't until another meow that he was sure he wasn't hallucinating.

After thinking about it, Bai Yanliang left the courtyard and followed the sound to find it.

"Meow—"

Its voice became clearer and clearer, indicating that it was getting closer and closer to it.

Until...... Saw it next to the trash can in the alley.

A weak black cat.

It's dying, isn't it?

Bai Yanliang looked at it quietly, the rain was too heavy, the night was too deep, and the people were too anxious, no one would notice that there was a cat next to the trash can.

Moreover, the cat's situation was very bad, it was covered in large and small scars, and bright red blood flowed all over the ground along the rain.

Hearing Bai Yanliang's footsteps, its ears moved slightly.

Bai Yanliang smiled, interesting little guy.

"Hey, don't you have nine lives?"

Bai Yanliang squatted down and said with interest.

In the early hours of the morning, in the rain, in the alleys, the strange people who talked to the black cats, and the occasional night returnees who passed by all left in a hurry.

But Bai Yanliang had no consciousness of scaring others.

He looked at the black cat quietly, but the black cat did not look at him, but lay quietly, and from time to time let out a weaker and weaker cry.

It's painful.

I don't know how to cause so many wounds.

Cats are creatures that have a great endurance and would not make such noises if it were not for some degree of pain.

Bai Yanliang thought seriously for a while, but couldn't come up with an answer.

The rain is still falling.

Wind and rain cause the body temperature of living beings to lose very quickly.

Bai Yanliang squatted in place for five minutes, and the black cat also lay down for five minutes, and finally, it moved.

It seemed to have regained some strength, tired of supporting its broken body, but its left leg was not very agile, as if it was broken, and it was unable to drag on the ground.

OK...... It was able to stand on three feet, and began to move forward step by step in the blood.

There were many scars on its body, and with each movement, some of the wounds that had begun to scab over were torn open again, and red blood flowed out.

The blood and rain pooled into a trickle, flowing to Bai Yanliang's feet.

Bai Yanliang looked at it quietly, stretched out his hand, and touched the blood at his feet, it was cold, not warm at all.

What a stubborn cat.

He watched it quietly, it had taken so much time to move so little, even if he climbed out of this alley, where could he go?

The Outside World...... Isn't it another alley?

But for some reason, seeing this cat, Bai Yanliang's mood suddenly improved a lot.

It's struggling to survive, just like him.

"Hey, don't scratch me."

Bai Yanliang said softly, and then stretched out his slender hand to hold it.

Why Tou? Because it's really small.

Holding it in one hand is just right.

Its reaction was very intense, and it jumped off Bai Yanliang's hand suddenly, and its injured leg fell on the wet ground, which hurt just by looking at it.

"I don't eat cats, so you don't have to be so nervous."

Bai Yanliang explained, although it couldn't understand, Bai Yanliang still had to say that he was such an eccentric person.

"Meow—"

It was only then that the cat looked back at him for the first time.

Its pupils are black, inky black.

It's so dark that it can only be seen in animals and babies.

If it weren't for the scars and the fact that it was so embarrassed by the rain, it would be a pretty cat.

Bai Yanliang never said anything against his will, this cat is indeed very beautiful, especially this pair of dark eyes, which adds a lot of mystery to it.

"If you don't want to die, come home with me."

Bai Yanliang looked into its eyes and said seriously.

The people passing by the alley hurriedly walked by, and their hearts were furious, what did they see?

An inexplicable madman who talks to a cat in the rain?

Bai Yanliang didn't mind these glances, and he stretched out his hand to the black cat again.

Strangely, this time it didn't struggle to escape, but lay quietly in the palm of his hand, looking at him with a pair of round black eyes.

"Don't look at me, I always do good deeds, I'm a good person."

Bai Yanliang touched its head, which was the only place on its body that had no wounds.

The cat's body was trembling slightly, but its eyes were gently closed.

Bai Yanliang hugged it and returned to the courtyard.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that it will not stop tonight.

There is a medical kit at home, which Goofy has prepared.

Bai Yanliang found the disinfectant potion and simply dealt with it for the black cat.

It hurts to pour the medicine over the wound, especially if it is cut.

"If it hurts, just scream, wasn't it still screaming just now."

Bai Yanliang looked at the black cat with some amusement, it quietly endured the pain, its small body kept trembling, it hurt, but this time it didn't bark at all.

What a stubborn cat.

When he continued to medicate it, Bai Yanliang knew how serious its injuries were.

Especially on the hind legs, you can already see Bai Sensen's bones.

It needs to be stitched.

Fortunately, Bai Yanliang learned this craft when he was in a psychiatric hospital.

Late at night, one person and one cat, it is also quite harmonious.

By the time Bai Yanliang finished dealing with it, it was already asleep.

Bai Yanliang smiled and looked at the little black cat quietly.

What is life?

He thought about this question very early on.

It is easy for those who have it to belittle it, and the person who loses it has long since lost everything, and the most painful thing is the person who is about to lose it.

Obviously.

All the people in the fog set are the ones who are about to lose it.

Why save this cat?

Bai Yanliang thought about it seriously, maybe ...... It was when I saw it that way that I was moved by compassion.

Or maybe...... Like it, I'm doing the last struggle.
