Malinda had arrived when the children on errands in Dahl Lane brought back five pots of fresh catnip, cat grass (mixed wheat seedlings), one bag each with the same seed, two bags (300 grams) of dried fish and one bag of catnip-added chicken biscuits (300 grams, chicken biscuits with catnip) for Arthur.

This lady obviously stayed up all night.

At the moment, he was gulping down his pipe to keep himself awake.

"Don't tell me you're going to plant catnip and cat grass in your yard!"

Seeing Arthur put five pots of catnip and cat grass on the shelf next to the entrance door like potted plants, and picked up a shovel and hoe, the lady couldn't help it.

Although she doesn't have a cat, this lady still knows the attraction of catnip and cat grass to cats.

If you really plant a lot of catnip and cat grass in the yard, it will definitely attract a large number of cats, and then the picture will be ......

Spectacular!

"Of course not!

It's you and I who plant together! ”

Arthur handed the hoe to Malinda.

The latter was directly stunned.

But she took a deep breath and took the hoe - although the errand boy didn't tell her exactly what had happened, Malinda knew very well that Arthur didn't need someone to help grow catnip and cat grass when she asked her to come.

There must be something important.

And now this planting ......

"Are 'psychics' as bad as you?"

Marinda, who was squatting in the small courtyard on the side of No. 2 Kirk Street, asked as she plowed the soil.

"If you had witnessed some of the scenes just now, you would never have called me a bad taste, but I would have been surprised that I could resist not killing Bernice!"

Arthur sighed softly as he shoveled Malinda's dirt to the side.

"Bernice?!"

Malinda's eyes narrowed.

And Arthur didn't wait for Malinda to ask, and after a little processing of the scene that had just happened here, he told it all.

Of course, the part about Edith is not hidden.

After all, this kind of thing can't be hidden from Malinda, who has the intention to investigate.

"Oh, the Evil Spirit Death Curse!

This guy really deserves it! ”

Malinda sneered and uttered a word that was alien to Arthur.

'Is there a curse like this?' ’

The young 'psychic' guessed in his heart, but on the surface, he continued to shovel the soil quietly, looking like he didn't evaluate.

Because, he couldn't be sure if Malinda was telling the truth or if she was bluffing him.

Or is it more precise, another temptation?

'Can't be sure, so wait!'

We are not the so-called all-knowing, all-powerful gods!

Don't be ashamed of it, and don't feel guilty about it! ’

Old Charlie said something similar, and Arthur remembered it in his memory ever since he read it.

Because, he had heard another similar sentence-

Let the bullets fly for a while!

In fact, just two or three seconds later, looking at Arthur, who was completely unmatched, Malinda sighed lightly.

"Sure enough, you know about this secret curse!

However, it is also normal!

Although you are an impostor, you must have known about the deeds of Sigmund, who is known as the greatest 'medium', even if because of these deeds, Sigmund was regarded as a taboo in the Holy Empire.

However, Master Sigmund's 'School of Souls' has always been kept secret. ”

Malinda paused deliberately as she said this, checking Arthur's expression.

When she found that Arthur still didn't care, the lady finally gave up the temptation.

"Well, I was suspicious of 'Cat Pie' in the beginning. Black' has gained some knowledge of the 'Soul School', and I just want to ask you now, 'Cat Pie. Did Black gain the knowledge of the 'Soul School'?

Also, what kind of knowledge is it?

And the 'Evil Spirit Death Curse' was not cast by you!

Alright, don't pretend!

Make an offer! ”

Malinda looked at Arthur angrily.

The lady thinks that the young 'psychic medium' is once again waiting to be sold.

However, Arthur is categorical -

"I don't know anything about Sigmund the 'medium'.

I don't know about the so-called 'soul school'.

I don't even know about the 'Evil Spirit Death Curse'. ”

After the young 'medium' finished speaking, he began to sprinkle seeds into the turned soil.

And this scene made Malinda more and more suspicious.

The lady took two quick puffs of her pipe, and the rich smoke began to drift away, and her lips did not move, but the voice clearly reached Arthur's ears—

"I know a little bit about the 'Cat Cave' core secret technique 'Nine Lives'."

Cat hole. Nine lives!

The rumored core meaning of the 'cat hole'.

It allows the person who has completed the training to have nine lives.

It's not that after death, he is resurrected nine times.

But......

With his own memories and powers, he was reincarnated nine times.

The most important thing is that every time you are reincarnated, you will be able to inherit the power you have previously acquired.

You must know that the 'golden lion cat' Aeolia once shouted in the face of the Pope of the Holy Empire back then, 'My punch, the ninth reincarnation!' ’

Then the contemporary pope was blown up.

You know, it was the Holy Empire Pope in his heyday, who called himself a 'god on earth'.

Because of this, everyone believes that the rumored 'cat hole' really has the so-called 'nine lives' mystery.

Of course, there are also people who dismiss it.

"What an amazing clue - alas, I can't afford to change it!"

Arthur said this as he walked towards 2 Kirk Street.

He knew that Malinda wouldn't lie to him about such a thing.

But because Malinda wouldn't lie to him, Arthur understood the 'Cat Hole. The clues of the Nine Lives were impossible for him to know—even a little bit.

As for exchanging the knowledge of the so-called 'soul school' of Sigmund?

He had to know that.

However, Arthur's approach caused Malinda's misunderstanding.

I saw the lady staring at Arthur suspiciously.

"You wouldn't have guessed, would you?

Damn it!

I knew you were near me with bad intentions - bastard guy! ”

The lady muttered, and then glared at Arthur in the back.

Arthur frowned secretly.

'Guessed? Could it be someone or something nearby......

Or is this guy testing me again? ’

The young 'psychic medium' decided that as long as he had enough XP, he would increase the skill level of [Eyes Like a Torch] and [Observing Words and Looks].

Otherwise, he was really afraid that one day he would fall into Malinda's way.

Of course, that's after!

Right now?

Arthur handed the previous letter to Malinda.

"If you dare to come to Ymir Manor, I will kill you!"

The woman read out the letters, which had been cut out of newspapers.

Then, the lady squinted and immediately guessed what Arthur was trying to do.

"Cooperation?"

The woman asked tentatively.

"Or else?

Why did I come to you? ”

Arthur asked rhetorically.

"Black-hearted guy, you must have been eyeing Bernice's property early, and only a black-hearted guy like you can guess the 'Cat Hole. The clue to 'Nine Lives' is ......"

Malinda said this, still looking indignant, but in the key part, the word was hidden.

Even though he was full of regret, Arthur was still indifferent on the surface.

But the next moment, the young 'psychic' heart moved.

It can't be that thing, right?
