CH 14

Seeing the interrupted newsflash twice in a row made Kang Xing Luo deeply suspicious about the surroundings he was in.

Was society this unstable these days……….

Evolutionary species, Evolutionary species, what exactly does the noun ‘evolutionary species’ refer to? This was a drastic shift in thought……

When one gave it some thoughts, one would discover everything that he encountered so far was inconceivable. Compared to the average person, Kang Xing Luo’s psychological endurance was much better, after experiencing so many strange things, his mind could be regarded as stable. However, he now truly didn’t have the leisure to think about these things, the bathroom was quiet, yet Kang Xing Luo’s heart was beating as if it wanted to emerge abruptly out of his throat.

All of sudden, there were sounds of knocking. Kang Xing Luo originally thought it was the door, but upon following the source of the sound, to his astonishment, it was rather a knock on the window.

Knock on the window…….

Hold on, the window on the 15th floor???

What kind of supernatural ghost story is this??

Kang Xing Luo was frightened, summoning his courage to pull the curtains, on top of the window railings it wasn’t some monster with an abnormal number of legs or an old lady with a painted face; rather there was not a single soul in sight.

Kang Xing Luo slowly leaned his face against the glass to look outside, with a sudden thud, a fierce-looking face of a man pressed against the glass, coming face to face.

Kang Xing Luo nearly shrieked in shock, he was shocked frozen for quite a while, only then did he see the man’s mouth closing and opening, he was actually saying, “Xing Luo…..”

Kang Xing Luo snapped back to attention, despite the man’s horrific way of appearing, this kind of face left a high impression, he evidently seen it before.

Just last night.

Why is he here!?

And, how did he climb to the window on the 15th floor?

Hurriedly pulled open the window, Kang Xing Luo grabbed a hold of the man’s hand with all of his strength, afraid that the man might accidentally fall down, “Quickly come in!”

Kang Lai Yin could have made a slight jump along with the force/strength, but a smell assaulted his nostrils when he came closer, causing Kang Lai Yin extreme discomfort.

“What were you doing in the room?”

Hands covered in Tai Zi’s scent!!

Kang Xing Luo was stunned by the question, thinking of the experience he had with that superstar, he suddenly felt guilty, Kang Lai Yin looked at him resentfully, with an annoyed expression, “I knew it!”

Kang Xing Luo said quietly, “Were you lying to me last time?”

Kang Lai Yin collected his thoughts, “What?”

Kang Xing Luo, “Sure enough, you are a porn-sweeper right?”

Kang Lai Yin, “……”

Right!!

Specializing in sweeping you!

He came here in a rush, he received Tai Zi’s WeChat message just when he came out of the police station, he was filled with anxiety that the matter of Xing Luo’s awakening would be known by other people, as expected, it was still discovered by that leopard cat.

With Tai Zi’s brain, he thought that even if the sky crumbled down, it would still be impossible for him to be aware, Kang Lai Yin was certain it was the leopard cat who told him.

Breathing unevenly, now was not the time to fight with Tai Zi, Kang Lai Yin grabbed the back of Kang Xing Luo’s hand, “Come with me.”

To go was what Kang Xing Luo sought but failed to get, but the question was how to go.

Kang Lai Yin said, “Don’t be afraid, there are only three floors up there, we can jump up there with a little force/strength.”

The man’s words were simple, however still, his words were breaking away from the law of physics as if it was a fantasy story, Kang Xing Luo shook his head desperately, words of refusal still left unsaid when the man scooped him up and leaped out into the air.

From the man’s fingertips, his fingernails began to extend to what looked like daggers and just as sharp. They slashed at the vertical wall, making marks on the concrete that were deep and conspicuous.

In the next second, Kang Xing Luo was on top of the building.

？？？？？？

Because the distance between them was close, he could clearly see the abnormalities on the man’s body, he stared at Kang Lai Yin in astonishment, Kang Lai Yin’s gaze was deep as he waited for his reaction.

Kang Xing Luo said, “You, could you be…..”

Kang Lai Yin frowned as he waited for Kang Xing Luo to adapt and attempt to figure out the answer on his own.

Kang Xing Luo looked at him and probed, “………Wolverine?”

Kang Lai Yin, “…..”

Kang Lai Yin, “…..”

Kang Lai Yin, “……..”

No!!!

***

In the bathroom of room 1555, Kang Tai Zi was completely ignorant of the fact that ‘his master slipped through his fingers’, he was immersing himself in licking his cat’s paws and rubbing his face with them, unable to free himself in doing so.

What Kang Xing Luo thought prior to this was right, Kang Tai Zi was taking shower, but it was actually dry cleaning.

It was impossible for him to soak in the water, how could a prideful cat like him get into the water to bathe???

As it should be, he chose to lick himself!

There was a cost in being prideful, and that was Kang Tai Zi’s process was extremely slow, as he was bathing he didn’t forget to chat with Xue Zou who was far away from home.

——【Picture】Got a hold on Kang Xing Luo.

It was the same picture he sent to Kang Lai Yin, the more he looked at his shiny coloured hair in the picture the more satisfied he felt.

White Leg Leopard Cat: ——Don’t photoshop the picture.

Kang Tai Zi: ……

Kang Tai Zi: Who photoshop the picture!? Orange tabby cats never photoshop pictures!

He casually sent a sentence, however, in fact, Kang Xue Zou’s attention was fully focused on Kang Xing Luo in the picture. Although he knew Kang Xing Luo woke up, the feeling of seeing this person with his own eyes was different.

Staring at it for several seconds, Kang Xue Zou responded: ——You didn’t send this picture to anybody else right?

Kang Tai Zi: ——Why would I send it to other people? Tell them that Kang Xing Luo is awake and welcome them to come and snatch him away with open arms? I’m not that dumb okay?

White Leg Leopard Cat: ……

Kang Tai Zi: Don’t be silent! Silent ghost, ah, you!!

White Leg Leopard Cat: Did you send it to Kang Lai Yin?

Kang Tai Zi: Long hair guy…..definitely sent it, I precisely wanted to send it to him, in any case, he doesn’t know where I am, he must be extremely worried now hahahahahahahaha!!

Kang Xue Zou paused, that Lai Yin didn’t know Tai Zi’s location?…… Not necessarily.

White Leg Leopard Cat: Go and check the things on Xing Luo.

Kang Tai Zi: Why do I have to check?

White Leg Leopard Cat: Maybe there’s a tracker that might reveal your location.

Kang Tai Zi: No way, is that long fur guy that smart?

Kang Xue Zou urged: go and check…

He still agreed to the leopard cat’s request, even though he didn’t feel there was a need to, yet he still responded: ——Okay, I’ll check it in a moment, compared to this, there is a more significant problem on my side.

White Leg Leopard Cat: What kind of problem?

Kang Tai Zi: I think Xing Luo is indifferent to me.

Xing Luo was indifferent towards Tai Zi? Impossible.

Xing Luo’s treatment towards his cats was always as gentle as a river, especially Tai Zi who was in charge of improving the overall tone was even more spoiled, so how could Xing Luo be cold and indifferent towards him?

Kang Xue Zou calmly pondered and typed:——What’s going on?

In order to let the smelly leopard cat know how cold was Xing Luo towards him, he explained the previous matter to Kang Xue Zou. Initially, Kang Xue Zou didn’t have much of a reaction, soon after, the more he listened the more his expression became twisted.

White Leg Leopard: …..

There was only one thing he wanted to ask, White Leg Leopard:——Why didn’t you change back to your original form?

Kang Tai Zi, who entirely didn’t think there was anything wrong, still in a right and self-confident:

——You are asking why, because my original form is shedding!

——Also, do you think we second-order species’ original form is the same size as you first-order species? If I transform then my shirt will explode.

As precisely as Kang Tai Zi said, there was a fundamental difference in size between first-order and second-order species.

On the violent day two years ago, evolved species reached their peak period, all house pets drastically increased in size, each and every one of them looked like ferocious beasts. But this situation only lasted for a day, and the situation began to regress, first-order species were able to retain their human appearance, half species were able to keep their half-human and half beasts forms. In the end, only second-order species maintained their size after the violent day.

Just how big was a second-order cat archetype? If he truly transformed, then he was afraid that he wouldn’t be much different than a Siberian Tiger.

***

The top floor of the hotel was extremely quiet, Kang Xing Luo was curled up in a leeward corner, said suddenly, “Previously, I saw someone on the streets with rabbit ears and met a cat who can talk at the park.”

Kang Lai Yin, “En.”

Kang Xing Luo, “Is it because there’s something wrong with my brain?”

Kang Lai Yin, “No.”

Kang Xing Luo, “Then, the world changed?”

Kang Lai Yin, “It changed.”

Kang Xing Luo, “It changed so quickly?”

Kang Lai Yin, “En, it’s this fast.”

It might seem like an aimless dialogue, yet Kang Xing Luo smiled, he was not foolish enough to not perceive such an intense change, he just needed someone around him to verify it.

At this moment, realizing the world had become different to some extent, on the contrary, Kang Xing Luo’s heart calmed down.

“You called my name….Do you know me?

Kang Lai Yin, “I do..”

“Did you come here on purpose to find me?”

“Right.”

Kang Xing Luo, “Then, exactly who are you?”

Kang Lai Yin originally hadn’t purposely waited, his heart ached when he heard this sentence, he felt a little sad in his heart.

He thought, even though he originally wanted to be the one who helped Kang Xing Luo to be familiar with the world by himself, but he had been dependent on Kang Xing Luo for a long time, he always wished for Xing Luo to initiate a conversation with him, to approach him.

At this moment, it was suitable for a touching reunion, despite the delay, he could still be Xing Luo’s first stop.

“Words are too pale in comparison, it’s better to see it for yourself.”

Kang Lai Yin stood up and took off his trench coat, after locking eyes with Kang Xing Luo he got on all fours and assumed an unusual posture resembling that of a large Felidae animal, “Xing Luo, don’t blink.”

Kang Xing Luo didn’t blink. The moment after the man said that blue veins could be seen bulging on the outer part of the man’s hands, the sound similar to bones dislocating cracked from the man’s back.

This scene had the type of realistic feeling of a werewolf going under transformation in an American drama, Kang Xing Luo breathing became shallow, his whole body was tense. This was not a scenario ordinary people should witness, but he couldn’t move his eyes at all, much less he didn’t want to tear his gaze away.

The man stared at him, unexpectedly the originally pitch-black eyes changed into slits.

Vertical pupils.

The ‘transformation’ was underway, it was as if at the next second he would have a glimpse of the truths of this world.

Kang Xing Luo’s abruptly went white, a bright light shone on the man’s back along with the rumbling sounds of a helicopter.

There was a commotion in midair, someone shouted with a loudspeaker, “The evolved species below, don’t move!! You are already surrounded by our Jin Jiang police!!”

“Survey team, hurry up and measure him! Wait!! He’s turning back into his archetype, stop measuring anymore!! Somebody! Officer Zhu! Officer Zhu!!”

Author’s Note:

Officially explaining to everyone the reason about the clinging onto a train situation. It seems like a lot of you don’t understand why he didn’t just buy a train ticket instead of clinging onto one.

Answer: It’s not a matter of money, it’s rather that the little lion was anxious to depart so he didn’t wait for the plane, therefore, halfway there he directly jumped on top of a train that has already departing

There was no process of buying a ticket or waiting for the train, little lion clinging onto a train which is travelling along a route and just goes with it.

Of course, there are private planes, but for the private planes you have to book the route a day in advance, it’s not when you say you want to fly then you can just fly.

Yes, so, it’s like that heh.

Translator’s Corner:

Zu: PHAHAHA sed, Kang lai yin just came out of the police station and now that he needs to go back. (arrested by the same people too heh)
