Chapter Ninety-One: The City of Cats
Du Zhengyi walked out of the narrow courtyard gate where mahjong was open on the high wall, and a miscellaneous cat sneaked past on the roof tiles on the other side of the alley. He instinctively looked up and made sure it wasn't the cat he often saw around Roach. He might be a little suspicious.
He was about to go to the mage's office in his own city, and teleportation was the best way to do it, but Mahjong had warned him again, and he couldn't really do it at all. Besides, anyway, he went to the summons of His Holiness, so what if the big shots waited a little longer?
The spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River floated in the ancient alleys like a gossamer, and he unconsciously slowed down his pace and took a deep breath, which was the familiar moist smell in his memory. He didn't have an umbrella, the rain fell on his windbreaker, and he was wet with apricot blossoms, and it always made him feel a little comfortable to be able to return to his childhood hometown on such a day.
He turned a few alleys, crossed a few small bridges, and walked to the widest river outside the ancient town. The river surrounds the ancient town, which is surrounded by farmland and villages on three sides, but only in this direction is facing a city of considerable size. He met at least one cat on every small bridge on the road, and now it was no exception. A white lion cat crouched gracefully on the railing of the stone bridge, and he walked onto the stone bridge, and the cat stared at him motionlessly. He was a little puzzled, and he paused for a moment in front of the cat, but it was silly enough to look at a cat, and he stared at it for a while and did not see anything unusual about the cat. It would be even more silly if just because Roach suddenly burst out of telepathy that he began to be suspicious of the living creatures around him.
Although it is much easier for telepaths to control animals than people, in Roach's novice attitude, it means controlling two cats at the same time. Although Luo Qi has a very chicken thief personality, likes to maintain his advantage very much, and has always been secretive about his current ability level, and never wants to admit that those cats are forced to love him, Du Zhengyi has never seen Luo Qi have more than two cats around him at the same time.
Du Zhengyi silently thought about whether he could publish a paper in the journal of non-mind mages in the future, based on his data from his close observation of the telepathic Roach, proposing to describe the telepathic according to the power of the cat. For example, Roach now has the power to control two cats at the same time, referred to as the power of two cats, and Roach with the power of two cats.
He turned away from the white lion cat and walked into the human city on foot.
He had good luck and hailed a taxi shortly after entering town. But the place he was going to was at the other end of the city, the old part of the city, which, like all human cities, had serious traffic problems. In terms of a mage's movement speed and living habits, traffic jams are really counted as the top ten tortures. If this mage happened to be as impatient and timeless as Du Zhengyi, he would have been able to kill someone in the taxi for an hour and a half.
The little bit of good mood in the ancient town of Jiangnan was really clean, and he simply got out of the car on the last part of the road, planning to copy the path through the alley.
The strange thing happened when he walked into the alley. It was actually a very ordinary alley, flanked by the dilapidated two-story buildings common in the old town, and many families put bamboo poles sticking out of the windows on the second floor, and the bamboo poles were full of clothes and pants that would not be collected when it rained. Occasionally, he would pass by a few houses with yards, which were very large and could barely accommodate an electric motorcycle. Several elderly people chatted in the open courtyard door, speaking with an accent that Du Zheng had long since understood. But he had only walked half the alley when he realized that something was staring at him.
That feeling was like a pinprick in the needle, and Du Zhengyi, as a battle mage, a person who was selected and trained as a lonely mountain guard, relied on this feeling to survive many times. Even with all the detection consciousness he had released, he didn't detect the slightest trace of magic. This alley covered with panties is truly a human occupation zone.
Du Zhengyi was a little nervous, if he didn't detect any traces of magic, but instinctively felt abnormal, most likely it meant that he had met a real opponent. The news that he was going to the office was unlikely to be a secret, and Du Zheng had always been uncertain, and there were not many cases where he could know his movements accurately. If someone wants to do something about this time, this is indeed the best opportunity for an ambush.
A sharp gaze stabbed him, and the power of magic continued in his hand secretly, and Du Zhengyi raised his head suddenly.
Two tanuki cats stood on the wall of the house, looking at him condescendingly.
Look at him, indeed. Hostility, it's really not easy to observe.
He didn't know what to do for a while, and he was stunned for a long time, so he could only continue to move forward. The feeling of being watched by cats lingered, and he walked through an alley, silently thinking that there were enough wild cats in the city, and was very annoyed to think that all the cats in this alley had gathered for a walk. He had only walked twenty or thirty steps, and he would surely have seen one or two cats on the nearby walls, on the eaves, and on the doorframes of people's houses.
His annoyance escalated as he made his way through the three cat alleys, and just as he hurried through the third, a figure approached. He didn't even look at it, he ran out at full speed, and the man seemed to see them crashing into them at the last moment, and hurried to dodge. But what is Du Zhengyi's speed, but he stepped up and grabbed the man's neck. Hey, this morning he saw the hoodie he was wearing, with a weird big label sewn on, and it reflected the popular aesthetic taste of human psychosis everywhere.
He threw the man against the wall, as if he had lost half of his breath. Before he could release his hand from the man's collar, he approached him and roared in a low voice, "Roach, you"
"Hey!" Rocky said, not being out of breath to overwhelm his excitement, grinning little white teeth, "srprs"
"SRPRRS, you!" Du Zheng was so angry that he couldn't wait to stuff him into the wall. "After I get in a taxi, you can still keep up with me with a cat?"
"How is that possible? You can't keep up with the car even if you run a dead cat! It's so inhumane. Roach smiled, "You let go of me, and I'll tell you how I got on track of you." ”
Du Zhengyi hesitated for a moment between pinching him to death and satisfying his curiosity, anyway, pinching him to death was sorry for the effort he had made to rescue him before, and he let go in annoyance.
Luo Qi took out the mobile phone they gave him from Du Zhengyi's windbreaker pocket, Luo Qi helped him adjust the mobile phone in the morning, but he didn't care. "Hehe, I opened the location of your mobile phone's WeChat. I've tried a few times without success, as soon as you enter the subspace teleportation, the connection will be interrupted, and it won't be reconnected. Today I was lucky that you didn't teleport. Cats, only when you're not in the car, are responsible for spying on you. ”
Du Zheng scolded loudly, and now he corrected his idea. Roach is not only the power of two cats, Roach is the power of a city of cats.
