What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

It stopped thinking and focused its gaze on a dark corner of the city. It nodded seriously, indicating that it was sure it could do the job well.

This has nothing to do with profit, but with its dignity as the king of cats.

Losing to a former underdog is truly an embarrassing thing for a cat.

Songtang was filled with emotion, then tilted her head slightly, looked at the dim moon in the night sky, and let out a loud meow.

soon.

The meow echoed everywhere, yet strangely avoided human ears, landing only in the hearts of house cats and stray cats throughout the city, giving them an instruction.

Apart from those powerful individuals who had gone far enough on the path to godhood, or extraordinary individuals in special circumstances who had a vague sense of this, no one else noticed it.

A meow.

The cats are in an uproar!

Songtang closed her mouth, looking down at the thousands of lights under the night sky, and thought to herself, "This must be what it means to rule the world."

Thinking of this, it scratched itself smugly, turned around and walked into the depths of darkness, disappearing from sight.

……

……

"what?"

At the traffic light, Lin Mushi stopped the car, looked around with a puzzled expression, and said, "Why do I think I heard Songtang's cry?"

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her and said, "How about we go home now?"

Lin Mushi was puzzled and asked, "Aren't we going to get some late-night snacks now?"

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "Is the cat more important or the midnight snack?"

Lin Mushi thought to herself that what she said was too strange, and said irritably, "I just thought I heard a meow, but I couldn't find where it was. Why are you thinking so much about it?"

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "I was just teasing you."

Of course, she wouldn't voice this thought. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, whether to indicate that the red light was turning green or something else, it was unclear.

……

……

At the same time, Crimson also heard the meow.

The girl, who had been sitting with her eyes closed, subconsciously opened them and looked out the window, just like Lin Mushi. Her gaze swept across the fleeting scenery, searching for that splash of white.

"Drive slower."

Crimson raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at the driver before speaking.

The driver quickly slowed down and then hummed in response.

Crimson asked again, "Did you hear the cat meowing?"

Hearing this, the driver was taken aback, wondering what it meant, and honestly replied, "No, this is a road, there shouldn't be any cats here..."

His words came to an abrupt halt as a faint meow drifted on the wind and reached his ears.

The meow was very soft; it was easy to miss if you didn't listen carefully.

Just then, he became serious because of Crimson's question, and that's when he heard it.

"heard it."

The driver's expression gradually turned strange. Looking at the road ahead, he said in a low voice, "A very faint meow."

Crimson remained silent.

She could hear the cat's meows even more clearly than the driver could.

It was this clarity that gave rise to great doubt in her.

—Because that wasn't the sound of a candy tree cat, but rather the sound of a wild cat.

"fine."

Crimson silently lowered the car window, sniffing the faint, familiar scent carried on the wind, and said expressionlessly, "Don't go to the evacuation point yet."

The driver suddenly became nervous and asked cautiously, "So...where are we going now?"

On the surface, Xin Chu appeared unchanged, but in reality, due to the battle on the bridge, it had already secretly raised its security level several levels.

At times like these, any unusual behavior will attract the attention of the Special Affairs Bureau.

Before he could get a reply, the traffic light at the intersection ahead turned red because he had slowed down earlier.

Crimson remained silent for a moment, just as she was about to speak, when a faint light caught her eye out of the corner of her eye.

That was the streetlight reflected in the cat's pupils.

Deep, cold, with a hint of icy ferocity.

The next second, the stray cat suddenly jumped out from the green belt, leaving a black arc in the air, and landed on the hood of the car. It glanced at the scene inside the car slightly, then looked away and left with a disdainful expression.

The process was very brief.

For some reason, even though the driver was certain it was just an ordinary stray cat, he felt a strange unease and became increasingly anxious.

Crimson watched everything quietly, her expression remaining calm, and said, "Let's go."

The driver asked in a slightly deep voice, "Where to?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another meow came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, meows came from all directions, each different, but all equally shrill.

—It's as if all the cats in Xin Chu just happened to be in heat.

The cat's meows continued incessantly.

It was extremely jarring.

I'm a little tired.

Crimson said, "Let's find a safe place to rest first."

The driver gave a soft "hmm," pulled out a tissue, and wiped away the fine beads of sweat that had quietly seeped from his forehead.

Crimson looked at the scene and said calmly, "Don't be afraid, this is just a charade... Time's up."

The time mentioned in the sentence has no artistic element; it's purely a description of the red light having passed.

The driver composed himself, forcibly controlling his gaze and the urge to commit violence that was almost uncontrollable, ignoring the meows coming from all directions.

Then he saw a long-haired white cat.

The white cat sat upright in the tree, seemingly curiously watching the car from the side, its pupils emitting a ghostly green light, giving the impression of peering into the depths of one's heart.

The next second, the white cat called out softly.

It reached their ears.

Together with the previous meows, they formed a nursery rhyme, echoing repeatedly indistinctly.

It was as if it was urging the two of them to turn back quickly.

Crimson watched the white cat disappear in an instant and said softly, "Don't do anything. Drive to a place where there are...few cats, understand?"

The driver responded, then, as if realizing something, asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Do you think that only we can hear the sounds of these cats?"

……

……

Shen Hong and the driver were not the only ones who heard the cat's meow; Lin Mushi also heard it very clearly.

To be precise, the entire Xinchu region heard the cat meowing.

The only difference is that some places are noisy, while others are not so clear, and this largely reflects the level of prosperity in each region.

Just as life is generally easier in small towns, stray cats find it difficult to thrive in truly bustling places, hence their meows are naturally sparse.

The barbecue restaurant that Zhong Chongshan introduced was located in the heart of Xinchu's urban area, a bustling and vibrant place.

Lin Mushi drove over, but the cat meows were faint and intermittent. He gradually became annoyed and said, "What are these cats meowing about? Are they all in heat together?"

Gu Yuqiu feigned sincerity and said, "So you're going to get all these cats spayed/neutered?"

"I don't have that much money!"

Lin Mushi casually complained, then thought of another problem and said worriedly, "This is obviously not normal. The bureau must have noticed. Will we be called away halfway through our meal?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Related information has already appeared online, and many people are discussing it."

Her tone was casual, without any inflection.

The reason for this was that she knew very well that Crimson would not dare to go online recklessly in order to avoid exposing her personal information.

This is a relative matter. When Crimson's whereabouts are not exposed by the internet, she naturally cannot obtain information in a timely manner and can only remain in the dark.

Lin Mushi glanced at her and asked curiously, "How come you don't seem to care at all about something so strange?"

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "Because this is my idea."

"Ah...you mean?"

Lin Mushi thought to herself that what she was saying was too outrageous, and said sarcastically, "Is this why you had a cat tail in your shopping cart before?"

Gu Yuqiu laughed and asked, "You don't like it?"

Who would like that?

Lin Mushi was greatly embarrassed and angry upon hearing this, and said in a fit of rage, "I'm a normal person, do you even know what a normal person is? Now I have to explain it to you properly..."

Gu Yuqiu did not argue with her, but only said one sentence.

"So, do you think it looks good?"

"nice."

"Isn't that enough?"

"But I think it looks better on someone else."

"That makes sense, because I think so too."
