The fragments were brought back, but now the black cat had to face the next problem. Edgar, who had changed back into human form, was sitting across from him, with a half-smiley expression on his face, and there was a golden shard between them.

"Should I explain a little bit how I got it back?"

"Meow meow."

What do you think so much about.

It didn't think about how to explain it in the first place, and couldn't make up a plausible reason anyway. And who can force a cat that can't speak?

"The bandages on your body are gone, so you're not afraid of pulling the wounds, eh?" Edgar took out a new roll of bandages and carefully wrapped it up. Although he saw that the black cat's recovery ability was extraordinary, it was inevitable that he would be worried. , "You went to Riester again, didn't you?"

"Meow."

Although he knew that the other party was referring to the prince, Lambert was also a Lister.

"What did he do to you? Or what did you exchange with him for fragments?" Edgar seemed to have thought of something, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked around the cat's body, as if to check it for something. There is nothing missing, "Are you..."

"Meow meow meow."

"...I took the initiative to touch his belly?"

Black Cat: "..." When will you be able to correct your problem of panting when you talk.

"Meow." The black cat raised his chest.

It's just sucking my belly, what can you do to me!

Edgar stroked the cat's head.

In reality, Lin Ling was laughing wildly at the table, and said humorously: "Shocked, a male cat took the initiative to betray her, and the truth is to get such a thing."

"You should write a copy for your game instead of being a technician." The black cat quickly counterattacked.

The bandage was wrapped again, and this time Edgar also tied a small bow on his back, but the black cat didn't notice it, and he was about to run out of the house to play. But at this moment, Edgar only heard a faint call.

"Yu Yuan."

The black cat turned back subconsciously and met Edgar's determined eyes.

Damn, why does it feel like something has been discovered.

The black cat was about to play stupid and leave, but Edgar continued talking to himself: "The mage that Lister is looking for is you, right?"

The black cat stopped in front of the door and didn't leave, not because it didn't want to jump up and grab the door handle to go out, but saw Edgar shake the key in his hand. Obviously, the door is locked.

"I'm curious about your identity, Yuanyuan." Edgar pursed his lips and smiled, "Human mage? Blood clan? Now you have become a cat and become our holy beast? You seem to have many identities."

The black cat glared at him.

Holy beast, it's not that you group of wolves have blindly offered me a cat.

"Are you a cat becoming a human, or did you change from a human to a cat in order to avoid something?" Edgar stepped forward slowly, "I guess you are avoiding Lister? I heard that the Lister family welcomed us not long ago. A new member, and it didn't take long for rumors that the new member disappeared."

Werewolves and vampires are closely related in various senses, and they both pay attention to each other's movements, especially the "high-profile" Riester family. It is not important news that a new member accepts the first embrace.

"Meow."

Could it be that you want to exchange me for the Rist family for ransom? I still want to do it.

Just when the black cat couldn't figure out what the werewolf wanted to do, and thought that the other party just wanted to take off his vest, he heard Edgar say something astonishing, "What is your relationship with Prince Lester? Or you and those two What's up with Lister at the same time?"

The long and narrow eyes revealed an unknown meaning, and Edgar said deliberately, "You are... lovers?"

"Meow meow meow!" The black cat froze, pounced on him and bit his trousers.

The relationship between the player and the NPC is at most a pure blood family father-son relationship! What are you thinking about all day long in your mind so dirty?

No help, it is recommended to delete this NPC.

Of course Edgar also sensed the cat's anger, but he didn't expect him to react so strongly, "...not a lover?"

He felt that his guess was very reasonable. After all, judging from Prince Lister's previous reaction, it was impossible for him to choose the new members at random. The only thing that was amiss was that another Lister seemed to be involved, and the three... ....

The cat is scratching frantically.

My lover, how dare you say that word!

The reputation of a serious cat should not be tarnished!

"Can you format this NPC, I don't think he can be saved." The black cat calmly suggested to Lin Ling.

Lin Ling didn't respond immediately. After a while, he said, "I'll check to see if there's something wrong with him." He was ashamed to say that he just turned off the microphone because he was laughing so wildly that he was beaten by a colleague at the next table.

"Forget it, it's my problem." Edgar, who had taken the initiative to strip the vest before, suddenly fell behind, crouched down and wanted to pick up the black cat and take it to eat.

"Meow!" The black cat was still clinging to the trouser legs, never letting go.

Apologize to this cat.

Edgar seemed to understand its eyes. He was like a cat tenth-level scholar. He guessed: "Do you want me to apologize to you?"

The black cat nodded.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Edgar was also willing to indulge a kitten and touched its paw with one hand, "So what's the matter..."

The cat scratched his hand.

So much talk.

Edgar laughed dumbly, "I'm serious, you don't have to worry, I won't let Lister find you. I think those children seem to have a way of making promises, what are they called?"

He pondered for a while, slightly raised the pinky of his right hand, and stretched it out in front of the cat, as if to make a promise, "Although I forgot what it's called, but it seems like this kind of action?"

Seeing this, the black cat, who finally stopped being angry, also reluctantly extended a paw, and the little finger and the plush paw hooked together, as if they had reached a cross-species agreement.

"I will promise never to let List find you." Edgar said solemnly, "but I hope one day you will be willing to confess your affairs to me, even a little bit. I will always promise that this is between us. secret."

He is patient enough to wait, no matter what the identity of the black cat is. And the truth about black cats, no one else will know the slightest.

The secret belongs only to the two of them.

"You will always stay in the position of the holy beast, and I will be by your side." Edgar made a promise and hooked his finger lightly.

"Meow."

Give it up, brother, you can't even take off my disguise.

It also barely hooked its claws, pretending it was the last day of work to fool this werewolf.

"Alright, this is our agreement." Edgar smiled.

Whether he becomes a human or continues to pretend, as long as he has enough patience to wait... One day, he believes that he will wait for what he wants.

——

The fragments were sent by Edgar to the Council of Elders. Knowing that the quest [Mission 2: Fragment of the Heart of the Golden Goddess] was about to be completed, the black cat directly hid the quest interface and did not plan to take care of the next thing at all.

The black wolf slept drowsily in his room for an unknown length of time. After waking up, he changed the medicine with the help of the servant, and slowly walked downstairs to the dining room. He saw this little black cat, only the size of its two palms Lying in front of the bowl and licking something, the red liquid in the bowl looks like blood.

Yesterday he was still drinking milk, but today he is drinking blood. It is not a brave male cat.

The black wolf changed back into a human form and sat down next to him, "Is it going to start feeding blood now? Can it drink?"

The werewolf didn't know the rules of the blood race's first embrace, at least Crofts still thought it was really Riester who bit the black cat and exchanged blood, and successfully embraced it for the first time.

In fact, he has never considered the issue of the sacred beasts of the wolf clan possessing the blood of the blood clan from now on.

"It's okay, it can." Edgar, who knew the inside story, put down the teacup, he understood that the black cat was actually a human being.

Thinking like this, he unconsciously recalled the dark-haired young man he saw in the moonlight that day, with a pair of cat ears and a tail, but he didn't see him again that time...

Crofts was a little suspicious, feeling as if something happened that he didn't know about during the day, but at this moment, Edgar dropped another bombshell in front of him, "The other half of the fragments are back. "

"What!" Hearing this, Crofts immediately became angry, and was about to ask Edgar why he took advantage of his injury to take the opportunity to retrieve the fragments, when Edgar pointed to the black cat who was burying his head in the meal.

"It was brought back."

The black cat who was named raised his head and responded with a sound, then buried his head and continued to lick the blood.

Crofts: "..." How do you feel like a cat you don't own is useful.

He had wondered why the holy beast brought back according to the prophecy was such a small thing, and he didn't say much for the sake of being cute, but now it seems that the black cat has been doing things all the time.

"You can't tell the difference between me and me about the shards." Edgar's expression was indifferent, as if he was not talking about a life-or-death matter, but was just talking about something similar to "what to feed the cat" Things like that, looking at Crofts, "So I have to inform you in advance that the Council of Elders will have the next step, and there will be another duel."

"...Understood." Crofts responded casually, focusing on the cat, as if thinking of something, frowning and gritted his teeth and said, "It went to the castle by itself. already?"

The scene of the black cat almost dying is still vivid in my mind, and the scene of the warm blood on its paws is also unforgettable. It seems that all the nightmares when it is drowsy seem to be the same picture. Fortunately, it has been almost a day now. Under the action, the black cat quickly recovered, which made him feel a little better.

But at the thought that the black cat might sneak back there again...he almost had the heart to kill Lister.

"Don't worry," Edgar said slowly. "Rist didn't hurt it, but I don't know the exact process."

He doesn't care much about this issue. After all, he already knows enough and knows that the most important thing is not the past, so he can choose to ignore it, but Crofts is different.

If it is said that the black cat is a secret cat, Edgar already knows at least 70%, then Crofts estimates that even 30% is reluctant, and he has to face Edgar's superficial cloud from time to time. The performance of doing things quietly behind the scenes.

Crofts knew what was wrong with him, but he didn't know where the difference was. It could be said that he was in a very irritable state. He stared at the black cat as if he wanted to see through the black cat's fur. What's hidden under.

The black cat pretended to be blind and didn't see it. Edgar laughed and said nothing.

"How long until you get off work?" The black cat asked Lin Ling in his mind.

"It's more than two o'clock now, three hours short of it. If you switch to the game, you will stay for another nine hours."

Nine hours will soon pass.

Crofts couldn't figure it out. Although he knew that Prince Riester seemed to be looking for the original owner of the black cat, he had limited information. He didn't think in any other direction at all. The blood family had raised them before, but in the end, they had to give up temporarily and concentrate on raising cats.

There are actually a lot of things that the cat form can do, and it is also a fun that many people can't understand. The rest of the afternoon was used by the little black cat to play with bells and **** in the cat toy room and scratch the fabrics of various materials. became a real kitten.

But the most outrageous thing was what the maid sent.

The white wolf pushed the new cat toy in front of the black cat, "Try this."

Finding that the little black cat seemed to like cloth mice, he asked the servant to wrap cotton and other fillers in soft cloth, and sewed a white wolf doll that was only one circle bigger than the black cat.

The black cat opened his eyes wide and stood in front of the tall doll, as if he had never seen a toy for a cat that was bigger than a cat.

The black wolf on the side sneered at the doll, "What kind of stupid thing is this? Can it like this?"

As soon as the words fell, the black cat threw the doll to the ground and bit it with his teeth.

So soft! It tastes good!

The black wolf who was beaten in the face at the speed of light: "..."

Seeing that the black cat and the doll were entangled, and they didn't let go, the black wolf angrily kicked the bell next to it and glanced at the white wolf again.

scheming!

Not long after, the maid who was good at sewing was stopped by Crofts again. The maid seemed to have guessed something and asked cautiously, "Do you want to do something like this?"

"No." Crofts gestured. "Do two, one is normal size and the other..."

The maid nodded and went to work overtime that night.

——

It was already dark in the game, and all the things to play had been played, but in reality, it was not yet time to get off work. The tired cat couldn't help lying on the ground and wanted to sleep, but heard Heilang's suggestion: "Would you like to play? Something exciting?"

Hearing this, the cat suddenly came to the spirit.

Come!

White Wolf disagreed, "It's just injured, and so are you."

"I was able to run a long time ago." Heilang shook his leg and said reluctantly, "Then you can come, I'll watch, just don't drop it."

Like a stern patriarch, the white wolf who knew what the black wolf was talking about still didn't want to agree, but the black cat was aroused by curiosity and pulled the white wolf's claws to go.

"Meow~"

Agree quickly. Agree.

Lin Ling no longer cuts the cat's point of view, and can't bear to look directly at his partner. Once he is released, he will be completely assimilated by the cat.

"Edgar, this is one of the few opportunities." Black Wolf intentionally reminded.

The next step of the Presbyterian Church is imminent. Who knows who will win and who will lose, and who will have the chance to be with the black cat. These are all unpredictable unknowns.

The white wolf sighed and looked at the moon outside the balcony window. The moonlight today seems to be particularly good, as soft as water.

The black cat held its paws, and the white wolf finally nodded, "Okay."

The black cat is full of anticipation and wants to know what this "exciting game" is. Then, it was held by the back of the neck of the black wolf and placed on the back of the white wolf.

"Don't drop it." Heilang ordered again. If it weren't for the fact that it was injured before, it would definitely not have given up this opportunity, and now it has gone outside with the cat.

"I know."

The black wolf looked at the cat, "Grab its fur well, and catch it to death. In short, you must stabilize yourself. When you fall, call out, and I will catch you."

"Meow." The black cat nodded obediently and leaned on the white wolf's back.

Just when it thought who would open the door, the next second, the white wolf ran out like an arrow from the string—

The goal is a balcony with an open window.

The black cat immediately understood its plan, but before it could bark, seeing the white wolf, it rushed to the balcony with it and stepped out—

Is to jump directly from the second floor!

The black cat closed his eyes tightly subconsciously, and didn't dare to let go of the white wolf's claws.

The first floor here is also quite high. It hasn't learned how to stand on the ground, but it doesn't want to fall down and become a cat cake!

In one breath, the white wolf landed smoothly.

The frightened black cat's hair exploded all over his body, and he felt as if he was on a downhill plane.

The black wolf who followed the landing looked at the shrunk into a ball, and asked with a deliberate smile, "Are you going to continue?"

The black cat immediately opened its eyes and lay straight on the back of the white wolf, and stretched its claws forward, meaning to go on the road.

"Meow!"

rush! No rush is not a male cat!

It's very close to the Red Moon Forest, and the two wolves are almost running side by side, running towards the direction of the forest.

Under the moonlight, if there are animals awake in the forest, they will definitely see this scene: two wolves, one black and one white, rush like shooting stars, and on the back of the white wolf, a black wolf with ears sticks to it. dumplings.

The black cat felt as if he had returned to the scene on the first day. The white wolf who appeared inexplicably that day also took it away. It went offline halfway. I didn't expect the cat's body to remain in the game. At that time, the two wolves were faced with a body that looked like they were dead, and they didn't know what they were thinking. They even brought its "remains" to the cave, which seemed to have a problem with intelligence.

Canines are not as smart as cats. The cat, who was blown by the wind, was thinking wildly in his mind.

The speed of the white wolf is getting faster and faster, as if it is heading towards a specific target without any hesitation, the black wolf has been staring at the side, for fear that the cat may fall down.

This is an activity that every wolf will enjoy and a habit that stays with them throughout their lives. Running wildly in the forest, it hopes that the cat can also like it.

They all hope the black cat likes it.

Everything around it turned into afterimages, and the black cat couldn't see anything clearly, as if it had entered some kind of crack caused by too fast speed. In front of it was only the snow-white wolf fur on the white wolf, and beside it was the inseparable black wolf, whose burning eyes were as blood red as its earrings.

At this time, a wolf howl resounded through the sky from a distance in the forest. Then, farther away or in the depths of the forest, there were successive responses from other wolves. For a while, the howls of wolves spread all over the forest, and they all echoed the calls of their companions.

Out of pure instinct, the white wolf and the black wolf could not help but stop, raising their heads high and letting out a loud wolf howl, joining the response.

Learning from their appearance, the black cat couldn't help but raise its head and let out a "meow" meow, trying to get in.

It has been in the wolf's den, but it has never been afraid of these wolves.

The howling of wolves in the distance was endless, as if it would never stop when it started. After the black wolf howled, he looked at the black cat who was yawning upwards and showed his fangs with a smile, "I really got you in."

"Meow." The black cat flicked its tail.

pride.

The two wolves continued on the road without slowing down. Under the moonlight, they seem to be running towards the moon forever, until they merge with the moonlight, and there will be no time to stop.

The black cat is experiencing the ultimate speed, and all the hairs on his body are moving with the wind. It is not unpleasant and enjoyable, but the journey always has an end.

"It's time to get off work." Lin Ling reminded, "Are you offline?"

At this time, they happened to be on their way back around the forest. At the request of the black wolf, the black cat has been changed to its back, and is now grabbing the other's wolf fur.

"Will it disappear directly this time?" the black cat asked.

"No, it's the same as before. I will replace you with the data of a real cat." Lin Ling explained, "It's a cat anyway. Even if the White Wolf found out about your identity before, he can't treat a real cat now. Anyway, I can only stare."

"If you want to keep cats, let them keep them. You've done what you need to do. The patriarch asked them to choose by themselves. At most, they found that the holy beast suddenly couldn't understand human words. After choosing the patriarch, it doesn't matter."

Black Cat: "..." Good way.

The black cat looked at the white wolf, and the other party's eyes cut to it from time to time as it was running. It was to prevent it from falling, and it had to be caught as soon as possible.

The cat and the wolf looked at each other briefly.

The black cat said to Lin Ling, "Go offline."

The fragments are brought back, and the rest of the matter is left alone. Whether it is a holy beast or a wolf king, it is all left to these wolves to solve.

"good."

The next second, the black cat in the game released his hand and fell off the wolf's back. The petite body was about to fall to the ground, and the white wolf quickly caught it.

The black wolves also stopped immediately. Both wolves thought that the black cat suddenly lost its vital signs and then fell on its own, just like before.

From the panic when they encountered this situation for the first time, to the second time they simply regarded this as a certain ability of the holy beast, they have learned to get used to this situation that occurs at any time.

But unexpectedly, the black cat who was caught by the white wolf and put on the ground crawled up and stood up. Then, as if he suddenly realized that he was being stared at by two wolves, he let out a shrill cat meow... and then passed out with his feet crossed.

White Wolf stepped forward to check and found that his body was hot.

Black Wolf was puzzled, "What's going on?"

It can't be that it's too fast... it shouldn't.

The white wolf's eyes were dark and unclear. Obviously the cat still has vital signs this time, and is lying in front of it completely, but there is always an ominous feeling lingering in his heart.

"Take it back first."

——

In reality, Yu Yuan was waking up from the holographic cabin.

This is the last time I will be online, and I will definitely not slap my face.

He got up and went to the living room to pour himself a glass of water to drink, and Yu Yuan opened his personal terminal.

Mr. Lu has already called in the wages for temporary work, and at the same time there are several messages, which he replied easily.

Yu Yuan was lying on the sofa, wondering if it was because he had been playing games for a long time.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark.

He didn't turn on the lights before, it wasn't right that the sun had already set, and the room was dark at this time, and he rubbed his eyes subconsciously.

When did I fall asleep, how long did I sleep... I didn't realize it, and I was still a little dazed for a while. Waking up at such a time is like waking up on a boat drifting in the sea... It always gives people the illusion of loneliness.

His vision slowly recovered and he got used to the darkness, and then he could see his fingers clearly.

The illusion of loneliness, and it may not be an illusion.

There are not many details in the "Recovery Guide for Thawing Centers", all of which describe the problems that may be encountered when returning to normal life after thawing. Loneliness is one of the biggest problems that newcomers need to face, and it is an unavoidable sequelae, especially if he doesn't live with relatives or friends like him.

He was still lying, raising his hands high, his eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know where to focus.

He even got a doctor's commendation a month ago... He thought that he should have recovered very well, and there should be no problems.

Perhaps, he should consider a job that can get close to people.

At this moment, the screen of the terminal placed on the table lit up, and Yu Yuan, who was lying flat, picked it up and looked at it, almost choking on his own saliva.

The terminal did not know when it was muted, and there were actually seven missed calls on the screen, all from the same person.

There is also a row of messages, the oldest one from half an hour ago.

[Lu Mingyuan]: Are you free to have dinner together tonight? I happened to have a job passing by, not far from you

[Lu Mingyuan]: I wanted to invite you to dinner last time at the company. It is my personal compensation. I have already rejected it once. Don't reject it again this time, right?

......

[Lu Mingyuan]: I haven't replied yet, didn't I see it?

[Lu Mingyuan]: Yu Yuan?

Missed call.

Missed call.

......

[Lu Mingyuan]: Did something happen to you? Otherwise I'll go upstairs to find you

Last missed call, three minutes ago.

The cold light of the screen hit his face, staring at the news in the dark, his eyes a little sore. Yu Yuan rubbed his eyes, sat up and called back. After a few beeps, the other side connected.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry I just..."

Almost at the same time, the doorbell rang.

Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

The two voices, the end of the call overlapped with reality, as if he had just fallen asleep and didn't wake up from a dream, which seemed a bit illusory.

"I'm at your door."

There was some laughter in his voice.

"Yu Yuan, can you open the door for me?"
