Chapter 200: The branch line opens
It was a little girl who was only five or six years old at most. But what is unusual is that she has a pair of triangular black cat ears on the top of her head, in addition to normal human ears on the sides of her cheeks.
When Chen Qing turned and jumped towards her, the pair of cat ears trembled obviously, so they must be real, not decorations.
"it!"
Chen Qing's face was full of stunned expressions, and he stopped in a hurry, and the right fist he was about to play was also retracted.
Seeing that he stopped attacking, the little girl seemed to have gained courage, and the action of originally planning to retreat and run away was paused, and she fell on all fours and jumped in front of the box of bullets octopus.
Only then did Chen Qing see her full picture:
She was hunched over, in a threatening gesture like a real cat. The little face was dirty, and only a pair of bright eyes could be seen, and two small tiger teeth exposed by the open mouth.
He wore a gray white dress, no, it didn't look like a dress, it was more like the simple white dress that hospital patients wore when they were doing surgery.
The hem of her skirt swayed, and a fluffy cat tail protruded from it, and the scene took away the last bit of her ferocity - it was a little wild cat guarding food.
Naturally, Chen Qing's coping style also began to change in the direction of facing the kitten.
He slowly crouched on the ground, spread his hands, signaled that he had no offensive weapons on him, and then asked in a soft tone:
"Little sister, can you speak?"
"Ha-ho-woo......"
The little girl lowered her guard slightly, tilted her head in confusion, and made a sound of unknown meaning in her mouth - it seemed that she could not speak and could not understand Xuan Chinese.
Fortunately, there is one thing that bridges the gap between all living things, and that is food.
Chen Qing touched the pocket of his coat, took out a chocolate bar from inside, unwrapped it, and carefully handed it forward.
Probably smelling the scent of chocolate, the little girl stretched her neck forward, leaned her nose over and sniffed, the pair of cat ears moved.
"Eat."
Chen Qing handed the chocolate bar in his hand forward again, almost touching the little girl's nose.
This action and sound frightened her, and she used her hands and feet together, and stepped back half a body, looking like she wanted to eat and was afraid of being persecuted.
"Huh." Chen Qing chuckled, took back the chocolate bar, brought it to his mouth, took a small bite, and then handed it out again, nodding to the little girl while chewing.
When the bar is opened, some of the liquid chocolate inside comes out, and the sweetness in the air becomes more and more intense.
Coupled with the fact that Chen Qing had already tasted it, the little girl finally couldn't help it - she jumped forward and bit the chocolate bar. Chen Qing let go of her hand and let her grasp the chocolate bar by herself and bite it.
Children can't resist the temptation of sweets, even if the child is a little special.
When she took her first bite and began to chew, her eyes widened and then narrowed, clearly liking the taste.
According to the routine of dealing with kittens, Chen Qing took advantage of her to enjoy the food, and reached out and touched the top of her head and cat ears.
The little girl glanced at Chen Qing, did not dodge, let alone resist, as if she had been bought by the chocolate bar.
While enjoying the happiness of "petting the cat", Chen Qing began to think, what kind of creature is this little girl and where does she come from?
Cat-eared Niang is obviously just a two-dimensional fantasy creature, why does it appear in the real world? I've never heard of this kind of human branch in Sakura no Country before.
Could it be that the cat-eared lady is also the same as the dragon can transform into a human, and belongs to the category of secrecy from ordinary people, so it is not publicized?
It doesn't seem right, the reason why the dragon has a human form is kept secret is because it is too shocking and easy to cause panic.
But cat-eared mother...... Looking at the non-threatening creature in front of him, Chen Qing felt that it would be just one more cute thing when it was announced, and maybe it could also stimulate the development of the tourism economy in the country of cherry blossoms.
He looked carefully at the cat-eared girl in front of him again, and his eyes fell on the gray white "dress".
Lost in the hospital? Is cat ears and tail a mutated disease? No, not really. So where else would you wear this kind of clothing other than hospitals......
Laboratory!
These three words jumped into Chen Qing's mind at once, and he instantly thought of some very unethical experiments - Warcraft gene implantation, embryonic cell hybrid cultivation......
These are the ideas put forward by a few crazy scientists when biological science was just emerging, and they have been snuffed out in the cradle since the day of their birth due to ethical issues and humanitarianism.
Later, it only occasionally appeared in the plot of the movie, which was used to highlight the madness of the villain. But now, it seems that there are really people in Sakura no Kuni doing this kind of experiment......
Thinking of this, Chen Qing's face suddenly became gloomy.
Next, the side quest that the system popped up directly confirmed his guess:
【Gourmet Hunting System】
[Main quest 18: To be updated]
[Side quest 10: There seems to be a tragic story hidden behind the cat-eared lady in front of you, do you want to dig deeper?] 】
[Mission content: Trace the origin of the cat-eared girl and put an end to the inhumane evil experiment]
[Task reward: Determined by the completion of the task and the degree of contribution]
"Inhumane evil experiment ......" Chen Qing read out the last few words of the mission, withdrew the hand that was touching the cat's ear on the little girl's head, and clenched his fist.
At this time, the little girl also finished eating the chocolate bar in her hand, raised her little face, licked her lips, and cast her expectant gaze on Chen Qing.
Chen Qings understood what she meant, this was addictive, and she wanted to have another one. However, he had this chocolate bar with him, and it was still a small snack left over from the trip.
"No, no." Chen Qing flipped out the pocket of his jacket and showed her.
The little girl looked a little lost, licked her dirty fingers, and crawled hand and foot to the box containing the bullet octopus.
After climbing a few steps, she seemed to remember that she had the ability to walk upright, and finally staggered to her feet, kept her balance with her tail, and continued to walk.
She came to the foam box, reached out and took out a handful of bullet octopus, turned around and walked back to Chen Qing, and handed out her hands:
"Woo~"
"For me?" Chen Qing tapped the octopus in her hand with her finger and pointed to her mouth.
"Woo!" The little girl nodded vigorously.
Chen Qing smiled and took the bullet octopus handed by the little girl, but this smile was a little complicated - knowing how to reciprocate is a kind quality, but the more kind she is, the more it highlights how cruel the experiment that created her is.
In particular, the system also uses words like "a tragic story is hidden" in the mission description.
