"Why do you have to go out today? It's not a good day. ”

The black cat stood on the branch of a rejuvenating poplar growing horizontally, stared at the big yellow clear eyes, looked at the tree with burning eyes, and repeated the question he had just said not long ago, and his tone was particularly unkind: "Moreover, who is she? Why is she here?"

In addition to Colma, the Black Cat's contract collaborator, there is also a masked witch.

He wore a black cape, trousers and a shirt, a string of amulets hanging from his belt, and a heavy book of law.

Although the masked witch didn't show her face, just by her dress, Zheng Qing could easily tell that it was Yelena standing in front of him—not to mention the familiar scent of her. You know, it has been less than half an hour since the separation of Feiyuan.

Zheng Qing felt that his previous bad premonition had become a reality.

It's been more than a week since the Forbidden Demon Festival spied on Yelena's secret meeting with Colma, and the tracking found that the rat fairy met with Colmar.

During this time, Zheng Qing also silently observed Yelena, but found that she was continuing to take low-key classes, miss classes, and date herself in a low-key manner, and did not show the slightest sign of asking for help from herself.

On the contrary, this morning, she also went to Feiyuan on a special trip to ask if she had any materials she needed, and she could help collect them.

This stupid girl.

The black cat thought gloomily, shaking its beard, wondering if to end today's slightly radical adventure.

As for the problem of black cats, Colmar has already had a draft.

"I've explained many times, the weather is good today, there are no insect bites, and there are few monsters! Why don't you choose to go into the woods today? On weekdays, you always say that you are busy, busy, busy, and you have not even done a search for a week, do you plan to delay until I graduate from school and have to leave Phuket?"

"Don't be like a little girl, mother-in-law, do things forward, think a lot, there are a lot of superstitious thoughts, and always feel that ghosts and monsters are rampant on Qingming Festival and Midyear Festival...... I'll tell you, at First University, there is a lot of everything, but there are not many ghosts. The demand for those wild ghosts and mysterious memes in the school lab is endless, and if we do meet one or two, I am afraid that the living expenses will come out in a semester. ”

"As for this sister-in-law, it's one of my partners. ”

Speaking of this, Colma patted the gypsy witch on the shoulder and waved at the black cat with a smile: "Because you asked to end the search by one o'clock in the afternoon when you communicated before, I had to add another man...... so as not to complete the scheduled plan. ”

"Don't worry, I've already signed the pact of silence. ”

For Colmar's final assurance, Zheng Qing naturally believed it. Because there was a stipend in the contract he signed with Colmar before. If Colma hadn't taken care of the front and back, there would have been no way to bring Elena to her.

But this does not eliminate the irritability and restlessness in the bottom of the black cat's heart.

"What about the big mouse?" the black cat flicked its tail in annoyance and swept a rejuvenating Yang seed that had just climbed onto his back to the ground: "Why didn't it come over today?"

The caterpillar-like rejuvenating poplar seed was swept away, curled up into a ball in mid-air, and when it landed, it gurgled and rolled far away, almost rolling in front of the witch's toes.

Colma picked up a few leaves on her toes, buried the seed, and replied nonchalantly, "Big mouse, who told you he was coming today? Besides, do you think it's appropriate to disturb the old man?!"

How can this be a chore!

Zheng Qingqi fell backwards and almost fell off the branch.

"This is not what you said before!" the black cat's size suddenly increased a little, and it looked at the witch under the tree with fierce eyes, looking full of pressure.

The gypsy witch was apparently taken aback by the black cat's actions and let out a small exclamation of surprise.

The black cat flicked its tail and shrunk its body again.

"Yo, it's scary. Colmar yawned, puffed out, and stretched her arms nonchalantly: "What did I say before? Did I say that the big rat is coming?"

The black cat's expression was suffocated.

Indeed, neither the previous contract nor the prior communication had promised the rat fairy to participate in this matter. It's just that he has a preconceived idea and makes up for it himself.

The black cat paced restlessly back and forth on the branches.

Colma's explanation is a bit reckless, but it is not unreasonable. According to the contract, she must assist in the search of that secret realm, and if she doesn't do it, she does it, and she is suspected of breach of contract. And depending on the situation, the environment in the forest today is indeed not so dangerous.

When he slipped out of a hidden passage in the school before, Zheng Qing discovered this. Because he didn't encounter any strange creatures along the way - the most dangerous was the red bean frog that was stacked on top of each other and spouting bubbles, a venomous amphibious creature that was slow to move and didn't feel sharp. The black cat just needs to be careful to avoid it, and it will be fine.

Other than that, the Forest of Silence today was much more silent than any time Zheng Qing had ever seen before.

Whether it was last year's winter hunting, or a slightly later trip to the Silent River, or the previous outing, it seemed a little noisy in Zheng Qing's impression. It is only today that he vaguely grasps the true meaning of 'silence'.

After thinking about this, the black cat finally stopped and tilted its head to look under the tree.

"And what are you going to do?" he asked in a rough voice, "The forest is so big, how are you going to start the search?"

Hearing the black cat's relenting words, Colmar suddenly smiled: "Didn't you say before that there was an abnormality in the 'D-Jia' hunting area during the last winter hunt? I also did a little bit of work before...... Today, let's go to the Djia hunting area to visit the rat wolves living there and hear if they have noticed anything abnormal. ”

Hearing the witch's suggestion, Zheng Qing immediately remembered a certain stoat, and the fat mouse squatting on the stoat's head.

Sure enough, the witch's next sentence confirmed his thoughts.

"Actually, that's what you mentioned about the big rats," Colmar seemed to be reassuring of his allies: "He said that the boss of the rat wolves knew him well......"

Is there still a connection between Fei Rui and the Rat Immortals? Zheng Qing was interested in this information.

He has always had an inexplicable vigilance and curiosity about the hamster who has been living in his house for more than ten years - but on the other hand, if Fei Rui really has any bad intentions for him, there will be a lot of opportunities to clean him up for more than ten years.
