Chapter 196: No Longer a Human Being
When the dean of Jiuyou College and two witches were discussing in the office whether the school's punishment of Zheng Qing was too severe, the core figure of the whole problem, classmate Zheng Qing, turned into a cat again and slipped into Beta Town. .
Zheng Qing felt a little aggrieved because he was put on probation by the school. Especially when everyone around him was complaining about him, he felt even more aggrieved.
So he planned to let himself go today.
Since it feels wrong to be a human being, then stop being a human being and just be a cat.
With this idea in mind, after the regular meeting, Zheng Qing returned to the dormitory, hid in his tent and drank a transformation potion, and then quietly slipped out along the balcony while others were not paying attention - not everyone Unaware that Zheng Qing had slipped away, the fat cat was lying on the fat man's bed, and he caught a glimpse of the black cat sneaking out.
It's just that as a civet cat with ideals and morals, Tuantuan disdains betraying his compatriots and being a snitch cat.
So it just shook its beard, flattened its ears a little, then narrowed its eyes and continued to meet Duke Zhou.
After leaving the dormitory, Zheng Qing went to the Maoguoshu for a walk.
I don’t know if it was because of the tense atmosphere near Linzhong Lake, but there were only a few wild cat fruits hanging scattered on the cat fruit trees, and all the pet cats that Zheng Qing was familiar with were missing.
Smelling the damp breath in the air and hearing the gurgling sound of Linzhong Lake coming from behind the bushes not far away, Zheng Qing decisively turned around and left this sad place.
There are not many places where the black cat can go. The Cat Fruit Tree is one place, and the Flying Garden is another place. Occasionally, when the administrator is slack, the pet garden can also sneak in and take a look around.
But today, the black cat doesn't plan to go to any of the above places.
It passed through the low bushes, followed the corner of the wall, twisted and twisted, and soon came to a side entrance of the school. Outside the door is the Beta Town Pedestrian Street. During normal school hours, the opening hours of this door are from 7 to 9 in the morning and from 5 to 7 in the afternoon. If there are special circumstances, it will be slightly adjusted. On Saturdays and Sundays, because there are more students, the door does not close until after nine o'clock in the evening.
It's now 8:30 on Sunday night, more than half an hour before closing time.
Black Cat feels that he should be a little adventurous.
Although it is night, there are still many pedestrians on the pedestrian street. The young wizards and wizards grasped the end of spring and the end of the weekend, getting together in pairs, laughing and laughing, which was completely inconsistent with the black cat's mentality at the moment.
So it trotted along the corner, always running towards a place far away from the singing and laughter.
After running for who knows how long, the surroundings finally became quiet.
The streets have become a little deserted, with fewer pedestrians coming and going, and their clothes are much more tattered. Regardless of whether they are men or women, they are all coming and going in a hurry, rarely stopping. The leisure and relaxation of the pedestrian street were completely missing from the surrounding atmosphere.
The air was filled with the smell of medicine residue, cat urine and burned wood, which was extremely pungent.
The black cat hid behind a stone and looked out through the gap.
The dilapidated signboard is hung on a rusty iron chain. When the wind blows, the portrait on the signboard will let out feeble screams. Many glass windows were broken, but they were held together with paper tape. On the wooden walls covered with mildew, there are many slender white lines left by rainwater, as if a late-stage vitiligo patient was curled up in this dark corner and lingering.
This is the North District of Beta Town, and Black Cat suddenly felt at ease.
Although he had already planned to let himself go, Zheng Qing had no idea of coming to the North District before. After all, he was still a cat. It would be fine in other parts of Beta Town. But in the North District, he doubted that he would be captured by some hungry magicians and stewed in a fight between dragons and tigers.
But after just taking a step back, the black cat stopped paws.
What about the North District? What about the hungry juggler? No matter how ferocious they are, can they be more ferocious than the eight-foot-tall descendant of Sathogya? No matter how ruthless they are, can they be more ruthless than Seprano of the Cheung Kei Association?
He is a man who has defeated monsters and almost killed a publicly funded student of Alpha Academy!
Even if it is a cat now, it is not something that mere magicians from the North District of Beta Town can bully. I turned into a cat to relax, not to continue to be a coward!
Thinking of this, the black cat narrowed his eyes, twisted around, and slipped through the gap between Shi Gandang and the corner of the house, into the quiet streets of the North District.
He also knows people in the North District. Before the start of school, he, Xiao Xiao and others had gone to Senior Sister Kolma's club to do tasks. It is true that he is a cat now, but the black cat also has a close connection with Kolma. Now he could visit as Black Cat, and maybe squat on the bar of Sakura Tavern for a few drinks.
The Sakura Tavern seems to be in a place called Gudiao Street. The black cat walked along the street and recalled the route.
Having said that, it is much safer to go to the Sakura Tavern in the North District for a drunken drink than to go to the homeless bar on the pedestrian street. The wandering wizard always had a smile on his face, but he always gave people a sinister and slimy feeling. Whenever I interact with him, I always feel like reaching out to touch a toad.
"Paji!"
When he turned a corner and was about to arrive at Gudiao Street, the black cat's claws stepped on something soft. It raised its paws and as soon as it got under its nose, it smelled a pungent smell with a strong fishy smell.
"vomit!"
The black cat bulged its eyes and almost vomited its stomach. Really speaking, Cao Cao arrived. Just as he thought about the toad, he stepped on an amphibian that had been skinned and boned, with white fur all over its body. It was this poor guy's eyeball that Zheng Qing had just stepped on.
With just a change of thought, it knew the reason.
The skin and bones of toads are commonly used magical ingredients by wizards and are frequently used in potions and alchemy. But the meat of toads is not popular among wizards, especially the toads at the edge of the Silent Forest and the Silent River. There are often many unknown toxins or parasites hidden in the meat. Even the poor magicians rarely eat them. Use them to satisfy your hunger.
After all, not many magicians are willing to shell out a few coins to buy a bottle of antidote just to taste toad meat that doesn't taste good or delicious.
"I just flew you a paper crane...why did you arrive so quickly?"
A slender figure appeared behind the black cat, bent down, held the black cat's two front legs and hugged it into his arms. His voice sounded extremely happy, but in the blink of an eye, the black cat was thrown far away. That joy The voice became angry and frustrated.
"Yeah! What do you smell like?!"
It wasn't until the confused black cat landed that a blue paper crane flapped its short wings and Shi Shiran landed on its head. Obviously, this was a failed paper crane transmission.
