Cat? "Alice"?

Zhou Mingrui's mouth suddenly opened wide after he realized that the girl he had seen coming out of the lake had become a cat—he imagined a small animal as a girl in his hallucination.

This was something that had never happened before, and in his previous hallucinations, Zhou Mingrui had only seen pedestrians on the road as distorted black shadows or other creatures similar to human size.

And now all kinds of phenomena seem to prove that the hallucinations in his mind seem to have become more serious, and this is by no means the result that Zhou Mingrui wants to see.

Anyway, let's see a psychiatrist...... Although I heard my brother say that the price of psychiatric hospitals is generally very high, but no matter what, I still have to check my own condition.

Otherwise, if something big happens in the future, it will be a big problem to be completely unable to distinguish between reality and illusion! Zhou Mingrui was obviously apprehensive about what had just happened.

However, the action I did just now was obviously not something that my physique could do...... What the hell is going on?

Zhou Mingrui secretly sighed in his heart, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the extremely fierce kitten who had just held down the stray dog with one paw, but at this moment it was "meowing", and while making a "purring" sound, he walked in his direction.

And the loose stray dog, which was obviously not very old, barked aggrievedly at this moment, and ran away from the side with his tail between his legs.

As soon as Zhou Mingrui saw the pitiful appearance of this stray dog now, he couldn't help but think of the way he was chased by the beast that the stray dog had transformed into in his hallucination.

And now, Zhou Mingrui is glad that he didn't really put "Help, kill someone!" just now! "Say such a thing, otherwise on the way I just came here, I am afraid that many people will see his appearance and think that he has some mental illness.

Well...... Zhou Mingrui thought about it, he seemed to really have mental problems now, otherwise he wouldn't have seen this extremely weird picture - it would be fine.

But when he thought of his current appearance, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but feel a little dead. He shook his head, looked at the kitten coming towards him, and squatted down gently:

"Is your name 'Alice'?"

Zhou Mingrui suspected that this might be a lost kitten, otherwise he would not have appeared here with his limbs covered in mud. And from the rusty iron plate hanging around its neck, Zhou Mingrui speculated that the kitten was called "Alice".

As a senior cat slave who has never had a cat, Zhou Mingrui knows that domestic pet cats generally have a reaction to their names. Sure enough, after Zhou Mingrui said this to the kitten in the gentlest voice possible, the kitten barked again and walked towards him.

Sure enough, Zhou Mingrui watched the kitten come to him, he gently picked up the kitten, and carefully looked at the cat in his hand. Zhou Mingrui inexplicably felt that the image of the cat in his hand was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't tell what it was familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Mingrui could only attribute the reason why he felt familiar with this cat to the information posted by the owner of the lost cat on the Internet, or that he had seen a cat that looked very similar to it.

Well, there is a pet store next to it, so before you find its owner, you should prepare some necessities for it...... Zhou Mingrui used the map opened by his mobile phone to check the information, and after finding the information he wanted, Zhou Mingrui hurriedly trotted over with the pet store on the road when the cat came and went.

"Turn right ahead...... The destination is on the right side of the road, and this navigation ends. ”

After a while, Zhou Mingrui carried a cat bag and walked towards the destination of the navigation "Red Maid Cafe", although he had not been here, but he had a simple search on the Internet before coming here, and found that this café was opened by a few young people, and the kanban lady of the café was the red maid drawn by Mr. Wu, a painter who was one of the founders of the café.

- According to the records of Tieba, the prototype of this Kanban Niang is Mr. Mei, the manager of the café.

Zhou Mingrui took a deep look at the huge vertical painting placed on the wall...... Or, in fact, the portrait of the red maid of Kanban, which is a little closer to the mural, stepped into the café with her legs open.

After walking into the café, Zhou Mingrui looked left and right, turned on his mobile phone and sent a message to [Gao#]:

"Where are you?"

"Here."

Not long after Zhou Mingrui sent the message, a young man in casual clothes stood up and waved his hand in Zhou Mingrui's direction:

"I'm here."

Zhou Mingrui suddenly turned his gaze and looked at this and that young man, the eyes of the two met, and Zhou Mingrui immediately turned his mobile phone:

"High ...... Dimension? ”

"High Dimension." Gao Wei nodded, obviously seeing the cat bag that Zhou Mingrui was carrying, raised his eyebrows, and responded: "Zhou Mingrui? Did you bring a cat with you? ”

"Hmm." Zhou Mingrui also nodded in response: "I picked it up on the road just now." I'm sorry for the delay. ”

"It's fine." Gao Wei waved his hand: "Is it convenient to take her to the club?" ”

"Well, if I remember correctly, the club doesn't say pets aren't allowed. After all, the soothsayers in the club want to be close to animals. ”

Zhou Mingrui recalled the information of the divination club he had looked up before, and it was indeed not forbidden to bring pets or certain items to enter like other clubs.

It seems that there is a theory in the club that people who are close to animals are born psychic, and whether they use tarot cards for divination or other means, people with high spirituality can get more accurate answers in vague divination.

Of course, for their theories, Zhou Mingrui, who has always believed in scientific theories, will naturally not respect them. However, in the case of divination as a pastime, a little "research" of these things can really make Zhou Mingrui find it very interesting.

Moreover, after what he had just encountered, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether there was really extraordinary power in this world. Maybe perception will deceive him, but Zhou Mingrui can feel the real changes that have taken place in his body.

"That's true." Gao Wei raised the drink in his hand and drank it down: "Then let's go now?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Mingrui nodded, walked out of the Red Maid Cafe with Gao Wei, and walked into the door of this divination club.

"Speaking of which, it's your first time in the store?"

While walking beside Gao Wei, who was wearing casual clothes, said to Zhou Mingrui, Zhou Mingrui heard his words and nodded subconsciously:

"That's right, I've never been here before, um, and I've always felt that it's very inappropriate to have a divination-type club in a place like this, and generally this kind of club is not only available online?"

"Then I don't know, this shop has been here for a long time, well, no one has used the name of the club to make some cults." Gao Wei replied casually: "However, its essence is still a shop. Once you're in, someone is bound to come and sell you something from the store, but you don't have to worry too much, just decline. ”

"Refuse?" Zhou Mingrui looked at Gao Wei with some doubts.

"You just said that I did divination before I went out, and I just don't have to communicate with others today." Gao Wei smiled and said to Zhou Mingrui: "They will know that you are not a customer who strayed here, but a fellow who learns divination, and will not come to disturb you." ”

"So how does this club make a profit?"

Zhou Mingrui turned his head left and right to look around the area he was in now, although there is still some distance from the real city center, but this is also undoubtedly a prosperous business circle, and the rent here will definitely not be cheap.

"Well, there's always a part of the population that believes in these things. Of course, it is all within the limits allowed by the law, otherwise he would have been seized a long time ago for such a big fanfare. Gao Wei waved his hand: "Moreover, I heard that the owner of this shop has a lot of properties on this street, maybe this club is really just because of interest." ”

"What's more, the membership fee here is more than 5,000 a year."

"There are still many rich people in the world......" After hearing Gao Wei's last words, Zhou Mingrui was suddenly relieved and sighed, and stepped into the gate with his feet.

After Gao Wei stretched out his hand to indicate that he was a member of the club, and came to the conclusion that "it is not suitable to shop today" from the coins he was carrying on the spot, Zhou Mingrui also walked towards the interior of the club with Gao Wei. Of course, the cat bag Zhou Mingrui was carrying in his hand also attracted the attention of many young people.

"Drip."

After the two entered the club, Gao Wei walked towards a certain place with ease. He took out a card and swiped it on the door.

As a small green dot lit up, the door opened automatically.

Zhou Mingrui opened his mouth—it was completely different from the club he had imagined, with dark rooms and mysterious patterns.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the corners of Gao Wei's mouth turned up slightly, turned to Zhou Mingrui and said:

"What do you think it's going to be like here? As I've said before, this is a regular club, and there is coffee and tea for free, and you can also order food and buy some divination materials at a discounted price. ”

His tone paused for a moment, then emphasized: "Of course, in my opinion, none of these divination materials are of any use, at most they are cheaper than buying them online. However, the amount that a member can buy here is very small, and it is impossible to rely on a favorable price to buy in large quantities here. ”

Hearing Gao Wei say this, Zhou Mingrui looked at Gao Wei with some suspicion: "I always feel that you are very familiar with this place, could it be that you are actually the boss or the boss's son here?" ”

"No, no, no, how is this possible?"

Gao Wei suddenly smiled: "I just have some friendship with the boss here...... But then again, you didn't just come to the appointment to talk to me, right? I remember when you were chatting on the Internet, you wanted to find someone you could trust to do a divination for you. ”

Have I ever had such a strong idea? Zhou Mingrui suddenly felt a strong sense of strangeness and separation in his heart, he suddenly stood up, smiled and said to Gao Wei:

"I locked the door. I let out the cat I picked up outside before and let it move a little - the boss here shouldn't be averse to animals moving here, right? ”

"Of course, I don't exclude it, after all, in the eyes of many people who know divination, many animals represent all kinds of spirituality." Gao Wei spread his hands and said in a free tone: "You see that there are no things in this divination room that can be broken by small animals, it is very safe." ”

Zhou Mingrui answered, turned around, took the opportunity of locking the door to take out his mobile phone, flipped through the chat history, and found that he had really said those words and expressed his desire for others to help him with divination.

Just, why? Zhou Mingrui frowned, he didn't remember these things at all.

By the time he returned to the table, he had seen him sitting at the table. Gao Wei in front of him took out a deck of tarot cards from his hand, took out the big Arcana cards in them, shuffled them and put them on the table. Seeing Zhou Mingrui coming over, Gao Wei raised his eyebrows:

"What do you want to divination?"

Zhou Mingrui, who had already had a plan in his heart, opened his mouth and said: "The development of one thing. ”

"Well, well, cut the cards one by one, and then pick any three cards you like." Gao Wei pushed the neat tarot cards forward: "The thing you want to divinate is development, then these three cards represent the present, the future, and the more distant future." ”

Zhou Mingrui quickly cut the cards, followed his instincts, and randomly selected three cards to put in front of him, Gao Wei stood up and sat on Zhou Mingrui's side with a chair.

He turned over the card he cut out, and suddenly, the towering "inverted hanging tower" came into Zhou Mingrui's eyes.

"This is your attitude towards this matter."

After turning over the first card, Gao Wei turned over the three cards selected by Zhou Mingrui in turn, which were drawn on the young "fool" wearing a colorful feather coat and a happy smile on his face, the "Grim Reaper" with a sickle placed upside down, and the upside-down "stars" dotted with stars.

The golden gradient that was released by Zhou Mingrui just now, and now he was licking his hair with his tongue, also sat in place, stopped his movements, and looked at the two people in front of him with a calm and withdrawn expression, like an audience sitting here.

Gao Wei said softly:

"You're trapped in this upside-down tower, what happened to you?"

"...... Mr. Fool."

Alice's identity should not be difficult to guess ()

Feeling so tired, good night
