Old Domain Bizarre

Chapter 24 Cat

"Weren't you going to rob me? Why did you suddenly give the ticket back to me?"

Zhang Wenda stared in surprise at the ticket in his hand, then looked incredulously at Song Jianguo's retreating figure.

Song Jianguo said without turning his head, still engrossed in tinkering with his own things.

Zhang Wenda looked down at his battered body, then put the ticket in his pocket.

"Thank you for saving me. Although you caused me a lot of trouble during this time, I'm glad you realized your mistake."

Just then, Song Jianguo turned around, a lollipop dangling from his mouth, and walked over, gently patting Zhang Wenda's head with his calloused right hand.

At this moment, her voice was gentler than ever before. "You're getting too excited. Giving the ticket back to you means you're keeping it for me."

The next second, with a snap, a collar was placed around Zhang Wenda's neck.

Seeing the astonishment on Zhang Wenda's face, Song Jianguo instead revealed a smile like a cat toying with a mouse.

"What, does it feel like you've suddenly fallen from heaven to hell? Great, that's exactly what I wanted."

"By the way, I heard your name is Dead Rat? Unfortunately, my name is Cat." After saying that, Song Jianguo reached out and shamelessly ruffled Zhang Wenda's hair.

"You!!" Zhang Wenda grabbed the collar with both hands, trying to exert force, but was shocked to find that he could not tear the collar, which was as thin as sheet metal.

"Let go of my hand." With Song Jianguo's casual remark, my body instantly obeyed his command without my control.

"I'm sorry, you can't resist me right now. Once someone puts this around another person's neck, that person becomes that person's hound, and will obey orders 100%."

Song Jianguo, with a lollipop in his mouth, circled around Zhang Wenda. "From the moment I won, you were my spoils of war. Your votes, everything you have, are mine."

As she spoke, she took out the nearly empty candy from her mouth. "This stuff is really delicious. I've never had it before. From now on, you'll be responsible for buying this for me from the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Also, I just asked, and the special ability ticket costs an extra 10 yuan. You need to help me save up that 10 yuan."

Zhang Wenda didn't say anything, he just stared intently at the other person. This wasn't a brat, this was the enemy!
However, once she fully grasped this reality, Zhang Wenda stopped being angry and became very calm. The moment she put the collar around her neck, the situation completely changed.

"What? Don't you want to say anything about your current situation?" Song Jianguo asked with great interest.

"I'm more worried about my classmates," Zhang Wenda said, looking down at his scars. "I hope they're alright."

"They're fine. They're still looking for you all over the streets." Song Jianguo tilted his head towards the entrance of the cave.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenda was stunned. He looked at his wounds and remained silent. He had a premonition that not everyone had their own strict rules.

"Is that all you want to ask? Don't you want to know how you felt after I caught you?" Seeing Zhang Wenda calm down, Song Jianguo became a little irritated.

“I have nothing to say. I accept my loss. Even if you attacked me while I was being punished by the rules, a loss is a loss, and I admit it.” Zhang Wenda shifted his body with difficulty, leaning against the wall with a very calm expression. “I know what you want to say. You used the collar to control me so that I would help you get money, but it’s already dark outside. Everything should wait until daytime, right? I’ll help you get it tomorrow.” He calmly reasoned with the other party.

If dealing with unruly children was a bit tricky before, with neither too lenient nor too harsh measures being effective, the goal is now much clearer, and any method can be used.

Song Jianguo wanted to refute, but felt the other person was right. However, she didn't want to let him gain the upper hand, so she kicked Zhang Wenda. "Get up!"

Zhang Wenda stood up uncontrollably.

"You still want to sleep? Now! Right now! Immediately! Find a way to get the money!" Song Jianguo said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Wenda paused for a moment, then immediately stood up and walked outside. "Okay, I'll go get the money right now. You've reminded me; I do know a place where I can make money."

After he came down from the treehouse, Song Jianguo followed him as expected. It was clear that she was not at ease with Zhang Wenda, even though he was controlled by a collar.

The two walked one after the other under the streetlights. Zhang Wenda walked along the street, stopping and starting as if searching for something.

After walking for about an hour, just as Song Jianguo thought Zhang Wenda was playing tricks and was about to teach him a lesson, Zhang Wenda stopped in front of a rainbow archway.

However, it seemed that the rainbow arch was unlit because it was nighttime, and the plastic clouds on it looked somewhat eerie in the dim environment.

“Youth Palace, you can make money here. A bag of white chess pieces costs 50 cents, and I haven’t calculated the liquid happiness, but it should be quite valuable,” Zhang Wenda explained, pointing to the stairs leading down.

Song Jianguo naturally wouldn't believe Zhang Wenda so easily. She called over a cat, whispered something quickly to it, and then confirmed that what Zhang Wenda said was true. She gave him a push, letting him in.

The location of this youth center is different from the previous one, but the basement decoration is almost the same, very old.

This time, however, there was no Rabbit Teacher to hand out Old Man Ding's guide. When Zhang Wenda lifted the curtain, a soft, mushy tunnel of flesh and blood appeared before the two of them.

Upon seeing this, Song Jianguo covered his mouth in disgust and took two steps back. Without Old Man Ding's filter, the smell inside was quite unpleasant.

“It’s quite dirty inside, so you can wait outside. I’ll go in and bring it out to you as soon as I find it,” Zhang Wenda said very reasonably.

"Don't even think about leaving my sight!" After shooing Zhang Wenda inside, Song Jianguo ordered the black cats to stand guard outside the door to prevent anyone from sneaking up on him.

Under the light of Zhang Wenda's flashlight, everything inside the Children's Palace was now a bloody mess, a far cry from its previous cleanliness and brightness.

Zhang Wenda could only barely rely on his memory to determine which place was the Go room and which place was the model airplane room.

Once inside, he didn't try any tricks. Instead, he honestly went to the Go room and started working diligently.

Zhang Wenda worked silently with his head down. Unbeknownst to Song Jianguo, he secretly used his finger to dab the red blood from the scar on his forearm onto the flesh of the children in the children's palace.
