As we walked to the building, Su Ying, who had been silent all the way, suddenly said, “Nado, can we go upstairs to sit for a while?” She seemed still in shock, and under these circumstances, I certainly couldn’t refuse. So, we went up to her place together. The first thing that caught my eye upon entering her house was still that huge fish tank, but today, only a few fish were swimming listlessly in the cold, empty tank. Maybe she hadn’t been in the mood to feed them these past two days, and many fish had died, which was now irrelevant, and I didn’t want to ask Su Ying about it. We sat down, and I noticed Su Ying’s expression had calmed significantly. I decided to tell her about the cat; one, it might help us think, and two, I needed to relieve some mental pressure.
“The Four: The End of the Nine-Lived Black Cat (5)” “Today, there really were many strange things,” I shook my head and said. “Are you talking about the cockroach? Yes, it was disgusting,” Su Ying responded. “Not just that. I also encountered a strange cat today,” I said, looking at her seriously. “How so?” “It’s very strange; it’s almost like the cockroaches, unable to be killed by a truck or even falling from the twelfth floor, and I touched it, it’s a boneless soft cat,” I explained to Su Ying. Su Ying made a disgusted face: “So, you’re saying that cat was like the cockroach?” “I believe they both underwent some mutation. They’ve become like soft-bodied creatures, able to change shape without dying, with an incredibly strong life force.” “Yeah, that’s possible,” Su Ying agreed, looking somewhat scared. “And all this happened so close to us, don’t you think it’s too coincidental?” “I think all this has something to do with the Zhidan Yuan archaeology. Although we don’t know yet, I believe only the recent archaeology at Zhidan Yuan might be connected to them,” Su Ying suddenly said. I was taken aback; I had considered this idea but had dismissed it, so I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. “Why do you think that?” I asked her. Although I was skeptical, I was genuinely intrigued, wondering if she might have some new ideas…
