Chapter 206 Stop! (Subscribe)

In the bustling city of Saki,

A fat gray cat was moving very flexibly among the bustling crowd.

The thoughts in his mind were extremely chaotic, and the old cat had no idea what emotion he was in.

He just instinctively ran forward, wanting to leave here, reach the reassuring boy as soon as possible, and hand over the information entrusted by Hinata Xingcai to him.

"But am I really going to run away like this? After I go home, will Ryosuke and the others accuse me of abandoning my companions?"

"No... I am focusing on the mission, I am just following orders!"

"Excuse, this is an excuse! You are avoiding the battle!"

"What a joke, I am an old cat who took a step forward from the gate of the underworld and then retreated, what am I afraid of..."

The conversation that seemed to be talking to himself seemed to ask and answer questions in his mind.

After rushing out of the city gate and coming to the wilderness, the old cat's heart slowly calmed down after the complicated human voices were gone around.

Does he think he is afraid of death?

Of course he is afraid, but not that much.

He was mainly confused, his heart was confused, and his thoughts were even more confused.

Although the red-haired warrior was very strong, even his well-trained and experienced companions were directly controlled at the first sight, and they did not even show any extra movements, and there was no time to pass on any effective information.

But... the old cat was actually not afraid.

No matter how strong the opponent was, he was not afraid,

but it was not because he was too arrogant, too confident in his own strength, but because he was not afraid of death.

"Isn't the fear and pain of death already a common thing for me?"

Slowly, the old cat's running limbs began to slow down.

His feet sank deeply into the snow, and the cold touch made him feel like he was back to being a lonely cat.

It was this feeling that made his thoughts clearer and clearer.

It seemed that he had made a wrong decision under the influence of the panic of the first mission.

The old cat suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

Some people will feel fear after approaching death once, and will cherish life more.

But if you approach death again and again, you will only become numb and no longer value life. Lao Mao is exactly the latter.

In the past, he had stepped on the gate of hell with one foot, but was pulled back by a devil fruit, so his current life is completely profitable.

Then, in Ryosuke's cruel training, he didn't know how many times he felt he had died.

Every time he was exhausted, even the pain was almost replaced by fatigue, and he felt that his soul was about to float out of his body, he would be resurrected again.

So Lao Mao has a deep understanding of the pain felt when dying.

And for him who has no goals in life, there is no so-called fear of leaving the world.

There is only one cat like him in this world, no relatives, maybe friends, but only a few, that is, Ryosuke's family and Hinata Xingcai who just parted, I don't know if they regard him as a friend.

So death, to him, is just a momentary pain. He closes his eyes and then falls into a deep sleep. There is nothing worth lingering on.

"Should I go back now?"

The old cat did not continue to move forward.

He was very hesitant and could not make a decision, just like when he left just now.

Even after he understood that his fear of death was not that great, he was still very panicked.

The old cat was panicked because he did not know how to make a decision and what answer to choose.

In the first mission, according to what Hinata Xingcai taught him along the way,

From a rational point of view, as the only person who survived in the team, he should be responsible for passing on the situation here and reporting it to the corresponding person. This is his responsibility and obligation.

But from an emotional point of view, the old cat is not someone who will easily abandon his teammates. At least when he hunted with other wild cats before, he did not abandon the wounded.

"But if we go back now, it should be too late, right?"

Looking back at the gate of Saki Castle in the distance, Lao Mao was caught in a dilemma of mission and emotion.

When they first saw the gate, they were two people.

At that time, he squatted on Teacher Xingcai's shoulder and went in with her.

But now he is the only one left.

"Alone..."

Lao Mao's thoughts stopped, and he turned back to the city without any hesitation.

In fact, he still cares about things in this world.

Lao Mao doesn't want to have no one to accompany him and remember him when his life comes to an end.

For him, that may be the real death.

And he has experienced this kind of death once, in that cold cat house.

He doesn't want to experience it a second time now. This may be the most terrifying thing for Lao Mao besides Ryosuke's training.

The whistling wind whistled in his ears,

The old cat ran very fast, and it was getting faster and faster.

When he left, he was in a panic and confusion, and he didn't know what to do with only himself in the team, so he didn't run fast.

But when he went back, his goal was very clear, so his speed was not slow.

Although he entered the city alone,

but just like when he ran out just now, because he was a cat, the warriors guarding the city did not stop him.

When the noisy voices returned to his ears, when the old cat returned to the city and returned to the vicinity of East Street, he slowly stopped and became extremely cautious.

On the street,

everything was the same as before he left, without any changes.

The flow of people coming and going was the same as more than ten minutes ago, as if during the time he was away, the crowd was not frightened at all, and there was no fighting.

Since Teacher Xingcai said that she would go and check the situation, it certainly wouldn't be false.

There are two possibilities for this situation now. One is that she is well hidden and has not been discovered by the other party.

The other is that she is like other companions, and she can't even make a big noise, and is directly captured by the other party.

Perhaps... the latter possibility is higher.

With an increasingly heavy heart, Lao Mao slowly walked towards the direction of East Street.

In addition to the people from the noble families in the city, there are also ordinary people living in the city on East Street, so the liveliness of this street is more than the original street, but it also makes Lao Mao's vigilance infinitely higher.

Because even if the flow of people is larger than before, the stability and tranquility of this street are the same as before, without any change.

Controlling his companions without alarming the crowd made Lao Mao's body completely tense, so that he could enter the strongest state at any time to face the enemy.

The middle of the street...

Recalling what Teacher Xingcai had just told him, the range where other people lost contact, Lao Mao continued to walk forward, deftly avoiding the trampling of pairs of soles.

"Well, in winter, you should still eat hot pot in a warm room."

"Stupid, instead of staying alone at home, you should go out more in winter and use the energy of the crowd to dispel the cold, so that you won't feel cold."

"Absurdity, what popularity, yours are all some illusory theories."

Chaotic and complex voices were transmitted to Lao Mao's ears from all directions.

Although this made people feel irritated unconsciously, he still tried to extract some useful information from other sources.

But they were almost at the end of the street...

Lao Mao jumped up from the ground and stood on someone else's house along the wall.

In the conversations of the pedestrians around him, no useful information was revealed. Even though he was about to follow the flow of people out of this street, there was still no situation worth noting.

Have they been taken away?

Calming down, the old cat looked down from the top of the house and observed every corner of the street.

But he never saw the red-haired warrior, let alone his companions, and even the traces of the battle could not be found.

Wait!

But at this moment, the old cat suddenly stopped moving his eyes.

A long distance away from him was a small tea stall with a cloth tent at the corner of the street.

On the tea stall, large and small teapots were placed on the electric boiler for continuous heating, and hot steam rose from the large and small teapots.

From time to time, passers-by would ask to buy a few cups of warm tea. They would drink while walking with paper cups, or sit down and rest at the few tables in the tea stall.

But what made the old cat stop his eyes was certainly not this ordinary tea stall, but the guests on the tea stall.

At this time, on two of the only three tables in the tea stall, several people were crookedly lying, as if they were sleeping on the tables.

In the middle of winter,

it was strange for people to sleep on the tea stall like this.

Although they were all wearing black coats, they were still quite noticeable.

But because one of them was still awake wearing a black coat like them, no passers-by came forward to care about their situation.

Although the people lying on the tea stall were wrapped tightly in black coats, the old cat still keenly captured some familiar details and saw that they were his companions.

But the more accurate information was because he saw that the man in black who was still awake was the red-haired warrior he had seen before.

However, his current outfit was different from before, because he bought a black hat on the roadside to cover the eye-catching red hair, so the old cat did not notice him when he came here just now.

After all, the old cat was not good at perception techniques, and it could even be said that he had no understanding of them.

"So... what should we do now? Use your smart brain to think about it. You are the smartest cat in the cat family."

The old cat stared at the tea stall intently, thinking hard about what to do to change the status quo.

At this time, the red-haired warrior was teasing a puppy, which was bought temporarily by the companion who was disguised as a dog walker.

The reason why the old cat could recognize the identity of the warrior in such a complicated crowd just now was also partly because of the puppy.

Wait... puppy?

The old cat was shocked and turned away suddenly.

But he relied on the fact that he was a cat and his focused observation still attracted the attention of the red-haired warrior.

The moment he just turned away, the red-haired warrior had already glanced over,

Just then, their eyes crossed.

"Escape... But if you run away, won't it be too obvious?"

All of a sudden, the old cat's body froze.

Instinct told him that

He didn't even let go of a puppy, even if he looked like a kitten, he might be exposed and want to run away.

But the human nature after taking it told him that the more at this time, the more he couldn't panic.

However, under the influence of these two emotions, he seemed to be at a loss.

"Oh my, what a fat cat."

Before the old cat's body could make a further decision, a kind voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Old cat:?

He froze, and turned his head blankly to look at the source of the voice.

I don't know when, the red-haired warrior who was leisurely drinking tea in the tea stall a second ago, has actually climbed up to the top of the house and came to his side the next second.

"Kitty, you look familiar."

The red-haired warrior was looking at him with a smile, "Is your master the noble lady with heavy makeup?"

As he said this, he raised his palm and was about to grab him.

"Danger!"

Being alert in his heart,

With almost no hesitation, the old cat's body suddenly changed, turning into a tall and mighty humanoid posture, and punched the red-haired man.

After entering this anthropomorphic but divine state, the hesitation and hesitation in his heart suddenly seemed to be cleared, and all that was left was a strong desire to fight. "Oh?" The red-haired man saw the changes in the old cat and was a little surprised. He also clearly felt the mighty force of this punch. However, he did not have the slightest idea of ​​dodging, but also threw a punch. The bronze skin on his fist was completely covered by the dark aura, emitting a dazzling luster in the sun, just like a metal iron. Bang! A huge roar suddenly sounded on East Street. Below, the bustling crowd seemed to be frightened by a thunder, and all instinctively stopped their movements. Then, they all looked up at the place where the sound came from. Under the warm sun, a huge cat-faced monster flew out backwards, and opposite it, a red-haired man in a black coat looked at his fist thoughtfully. Squeak—

The old cat, who was blown away by a huge force, could clearly hear the sound of his hand bones breaking.

Then, his back slammed into a high wall, and the wall was broken into pieces.

The red-haired warrior's fist was like an egg under his fist that was as thick as a casserole, but he was defeated with such a punch!

Impossible!

The old cat thought he would lose, but he didn't expect that he would lose so quickly.

Perhaps after the transformation, the divinity of the god of battle in the fruit was affecting his emotions. The old cat was not afraid at all at this moment, but felt ashamed and unwilling to lose so easily.

The blood rushed to his head,

He stomped his feet on the ground, and the old cat's huge body once again rushed towards the red-haired man like a hill.

The red-haired man, who was still thinking, frowned when he saw that the cat-man had the courage to rush over.

The next moment, a majestic rebuke came from his mouth, "Stop!"

An invisible breath spread out in all directions with the red-haired man as the center.

However, this breath was only aimed at the old cat, and other passers-by around were not affected at all.

Instantly, the old cat, who was still charging forward, felt a blow on his head, and his head was a little dizzy, but it was only a little dizzy, which did not affect him from continuing to move forward!
