Chapter 209

"???"

Lin Jie looked at the chubby, fluffy white creature squatting on the table in bewilderment.

The two pointed ears, the long tail wagging back and forth, and the curious gesture of circling around.

It's a cat, that's right.

He looked at the cracked gargoyle next to him and the eggshell fragments on the table.

In the end, a seemingly absurd conclusion was drawn-the cat was hatched from the "worm egg".

No, since a cat has been hatched, it can't be called a "worm egg", can it be called a "cat egg"?

The corner of Lin Jie's mouth twitched. If Darwin knew about this fact, which greatly violated the common sense of biology, he would probably jump straight out of the coffin.

But this is in a different world, so Darwin has nothing to do with it.

He could only lie back.

From the situation at the scene, Lin Jie could probably figure out what happened during the time he was away—the egg probably collided with the gargoyle accidentally, and both sides were hurt. After coming out of the egg, it becomes the situation in front of you.

Having said that, is this egg so hard?

But since cats can lay eggs, it is not surprising that their shells are hard.

Lin Jie felt that his previous guess was indeed correct. The Dome Church really enshrined a mythical creature.

As he thought about it, he slowly approached the counter.

The newly transformed larva flicked its tail, and when it turned its head, it suddenly saw Lin Jie's smiling face, and the whole larva froze instantly.

Lin Jie stretched out his hand, pinched the back of the "white cat"'s neck with precise and skillful techniques, lifted it up, looked around, touched his chin, and said a little doubtfully: "This cat is a bit strange, is it disabled? ? The eyes are yellow and there are no pupils..."

The larva waved its claws and struggled unsuccessfully: "..."

Lin Jie stretched out his hand and pressed down on the "white cat"'s eye sockets, muttering to himself: "Is it necessary to go to the hospital to have a look at this situation, but this thing is not an ordinary cat, the pet hospital can do it." Is it?"

The larva felt a strong force faintly coming from its head, shook it in horror, and quickly formed a round pupil from its eyes, indicating that it was not that it didn't have one, but that it was relatively small.

Lin Jie snorted: "It turned out that it was too small to see clearly... But this ear is also weird, where are the ear holes?"

The larva noticed that Lin Jie's fingers had pinched her two "horns", and quickly drew the gourd in the same way.

Lin Jie was stunned: "The hair is too long to block it."

He touched the "white cat"'s back, feeling that the smooth and slippery fur felt unusually good to the touch, then pinched his armpit and lifted it up, smilingly said: "Meow?"

The fat larva kicked its hind legs twice in mid-air, and then meowed in a daze.

"Hey~ she's pretty good."

Lin Jie put the cat down, scratched its furry chin, and said, "From now on, you will be called Xiaobai, and you will live in a bookstore from now on. I will make you a cat bed later."

Upon hearing this, the white cat froze in place and looked up at Lin Jie.

But I heard Lin Jie looking at it with a smile, and then said: "If you don't obey - this gargoyle was given by a customer I have a good relationship with. Now you broke it, I'm actually very angry, understand?"

"Of course, I would never have the heart to boil a cute kitten."

Boss Lin kindly touched the cat's head who had just been named Xiaobai.

"Unless you really want to eat."

Xiao Bai shuddered, his tail straightened, his eyes saw the ring on Lin Jie's ring finger again, he meowed softly, and lowered his head with a pleasing expression.

Lin Jie stroked the newly acquired kitten for a while, then turned to look at the mess on the counter and felt a little headache.

It's okay to clean up the eggshells, but it's troublesome for gargoyles.

It must be very difficult to repair this kind of handicraft, and if someone else repairs it, there will always be something unsatisfactory.

It's better to wait for Lao Wang to visit and talk to him again, let him repair it himself.

"Oh, I always feel a little sorry for Old Wang."

Lin Jie couldn't help feeling guilty in his heart, the gargoyle had only been given to him for a few months, and it immediately cracked open.

He picked up Xiaobai again and touched it: "You are so cute, um, you can also help with housekeeping, otherwise you will be useless."

"Meow~"

Xiaobai trembled, and let out a meow that was becoming more and more proficient.

Satisfied, Lin Jie put it on the ground, and turned to the basement to find materials to make a cat litter.

...

Joseph first went to the Dome Church to coordinate the work of the intelligence department, and after processing the follow-up, he returned to the headquarters of the Secret Ritual Tower, and received a new intelligence just after arriving there.

"Margaret, the director of pharmacy of the Truth Society, was attacked by an unknown transcendent?"

Joseph frowned: "I remember, she belongs to the Sandra family. This secret medicine family is not easy to mess with, and this family has always been low-key, so there should be no enemies."

Claude, who could not hide the dark circles even with the body of an extraordinary person, nodded with the document in his hand, and said vigorously: "Yes, but according to the identification of the ether traces at the scene, the attacker used the taboo spell 'Blood of Blood'." door', most likely from a blood feast—the person who sold this spell scroll a while ago was just caught by us."

Joseph narrowed his eyes: "Zikaku?"

"Blood Curse Wizard" Chikaku, a destruction-level wizard, one of the founders of Blood Feast, the support object of the Road of Fire Sword, the owner of Congreve's personal book, just fell into the trap of the bookstore owner some time ago, The indescribable thing summoned by Joseph turned into a fool who only knows how to speak.

The iconic spells are all kinds of forbidden spells that use blood as the medium.

"In other words, this attack is organized and purposeful, and if it happens to be at this point in time, it may be like last time, trying to take advantage of our encirclement and suppression of the Dome Church."

"What's the situation now?" Joseph asked.

Claude said: "Now that Margaret's whereabouts are unknown, the Sandra family is furious, and said that they can't trust the Tower of Mysteries and the Society of Truth, and they will send people to look for it..."

Joseph's face darkened: "Are they idiots? An organization like the Blood Feast must have a plan to attack someone with a big background like Margaret. It is very likely that this organization called the Road of Fire Sword ordered it again." , the target may be the Sandra family, they are throwing themselves into the trap now."

"We've already communicated."

Claude smiled wryly, and said, "But you know, teacher, that this ancient appointment-seeker family is very stubborn, and they still believe in Wapujisi. It is almost impossible to make them change their minds."

Joseph took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Where is Chikaku? Is there a way to pry his mouth open?"

Claude raised his forehead and said: "We tried to use sobriety drugs, and there are other methods, but we can barely make him half-sane and half-crazy. We have asked all the questions that can be asked, but they are only superficial. information, and it is too much of a burden on his body, it is almost unbearable."

At this moment, a subordinate rushed to report: "Chikaku committed suicide!"

"A few minutes before he died, he regained consciousness and said that he would definitely return from hell to take revenge. He seemed to have set a resurrection spell on his human skin book!"

...

Lin Jie stopped sawing the wood, and felt that another dream creature had broken into his long-solidified dream.
