Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 26 Story
The orange cat suddenly hugged the black cat's head, and after they rolled on the ground for a few times, the black cat struggled out. The two cats confronted each other. The orange cat's lower abdomen was shaking, and the black cat's tail was raised high and kept shaking. After a few seconds, the orange cat suddenly raised its front legs and slapped the black cat's face. Then, they almost pounced forward at the same time and rolled together again.
Tang Butian was about to raise the wooden sword, but Jiang You stopped her, "Small animals also have self-esteem."
Wu Yulan glanced at Jiang You, then she lowered her hands, her eyes still fixed on the two cats.
Jiang You walked around the bench and came to the ginkgo tree. He put his hand on the trunk.
Tang Butian looked at him.
The orange cat took advantage of its size to pin the black cat down.
The black cat stretched out its claws to try to resist, but the orange cat bit its neck. Gradually, the black cat's struggle became less and less.
A very faint black shadow spread out from under the black cat and burrowed into the weeds.
The grass blades swayed.
Wu Yulan noticed something was wrong and took a step forward. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out, passed by her side, and pounced towards where Sun Yu was standing.
In a hurry, Wu Yulan stretched out her hand to block it.
The black shadow changed its posture in mid-air and flew towards the ginkgo tree. When it was about to touch the tree,
Jiang You drew a line on the tree trunk, "Here, split it."
The wooden sword instantly flew out of Tang Butian's hand and chopped across the ginkgo tree.
The tree and the shadow broke off at the same time.
Water vapor escapes from the leaves and the trunks.
In an instant, the black shadow and the black cat disappeared.
A winding path appeared ahead.
Zhaocai walked to Jiang You's feet, squatted down, and tidied up his messy hair.
Sun Yu turned around on the spot. In his field of vision, the apartment buildings, the roads in the community, and the greenery were all hazy, as if they were separated by something.
"The entrance is open," Jiang You said to Sun Yu, "This is a residential area. Although there are not many people coming and going during working hours, you should still take a look outside..."
"Okay, how do I get out?"
"Just walk out, I'll let Zhaocai be your bodyguard." Jiang You said as he picked up Zhaocai. He walked in front of Sun Yu and put the cat in his arms.
Heavy.
"I'm going outside, be careful ." Sun Yu walked out holding the cat. He felt himself passing through a layer of water curtain, and then he returned to the normal world.
He turned around.
Jiang You and the other three were gone.
The ginkgo tree broke in the middle and fell to the ground.
"Then let's go in?" Jiang You turned and looked at Tang Butian?
Tang Butian nodded slightly.
Jiang You gently grasped Tang Butian's wrist through her sleeve, and they set foot on the path. Guan Nuo was about to follow them, but found that they had disappeared.
"Follow me." Wu Yulan took a step forward.
Guan Nuo saw that the sleeve of her right hand was torn into strips and the back of her hand was red.
Tang Butian was led by Jiang You to walk in the white mist.
"It hasn't completely digested the Chai Ou, so it can't leave. It can only hide as much as possible. That ginkgo tree is where the small world and the main world blend together." Jiang You explained to Tang Butian.
"Is he still alive? It's been more than ten days."
"There's still a chance. The flow of time here is different from that outside, and the rules are different."
“Can negative emotions be transformed into energy?”
"No, if I could change, I would become a psychologist. I definitely have no shortage of negative energy." Jiang You reached into his bag and felt around. "I didn't bring any water with me today. I'm thirsty. I'll be out in a while. Do you want to have lunch together? I want to have some rice and some side dishes, like minced meat and eggplant."
"Lin Yu was released." Tang Butian said.
"He was just released. He didn't do anything."
"He didn't mention you."
"Except when I was riding the elephant, I met him and found something wrong, and reported it to you in time..." Jiang You loosened his hand that was holding Tang Butian's wrist, "As for humans, it can be divided into two parts, the rational part and the emotional part. If it is purely rational, it will always make the best choice within the range of IQ, and it will live like an AI. Let me tell you, classmate Xiaoya has been very arrogant recently. I asked her what the weather was like today, and she insisted to tell me that spring clothes were on sale."
"Isn't it good to be rational?" Tang Butian asked.
"That's good, but you have to be a little irrational to do many things. It takes advantage of your intense emotions and loss of reason to lure you into giving up, open your safe and hand it to it, and then take everything away. It's even more dishonest than making a deal."
"Is that all?"
"I think it's a bit unreasonable. Upgrading too quickly and becoming stronger means that you devour more flesh and blood, which means that the probability of attracting your and our attention is increased, and you will be beaten to pieces," Jiang You yawned, "This is also cutting leeks, right?"
"What do you want to say?"
"I just want to complain. Everything ." Jiang You took out his box of mints from his bag. He saw Tang Butian automatically stretched out her hand to him, and he poured two mints into her palm.
"It takes a lot of blood to create a brand, and the founder of a company that writes legendary myths. But these are okay, it's just spending money , irrational consumption, and you won't really buy 10 or 100 copies of the same product and put them at home. There are industry standards," Jiang You said, holding a candy bar. "Like the little idols, this is interesting, a degraded version of the battle of the gods, all restricted to a few social platforms, and it's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. Whether you win or lose, or get hurt or excited, you are asked to pay. I'm going to watch the recording of Yang Xuan's variety show at the end of the month."
"She arrived in Tangjiang?"
"It's time," Jiang You sighed, "It's all about making money. Now is the era of human beings. Just be an honest person."
"Like you?"
"Guan Nuo and the others should be here soon. Let's go this way." Jiang You grabbed Tang Butian's hand again.
Wu Yulan and Guan Nuo walked along the path. The scenery was repetitive and monotonous.
"We seem to have walked past here just now." Guan Nuo looked around and there seemed to be a thin layer of mist in the distance.
"It wants to trap us here." Wu Yulan stopped.
"I don't know what's going on with Section Chief and Brother Jiang."
"They may be somewhere else."
Guan Nuo looked at Wu Yulan's hand and said, "Aunt Wu, is your hand okay?"
"It's okay," Wu Yulan turned and looked at him, "Do you remember the date and time on Chai Ou's birth certificate?"
"Remember."
"We are coming in now," Aunt Wu stopped, "You may be able to figure out her location from here."
Guan Nuo took out three copper coins from his pocket.
He threw the coin upwards, and it rolled a few times in the air before gradually coming to a stop.
Guan Nuo's eyes were half closed for a long time. He opened his eyes and said, "Follow me."
They walked into the mist.
