After hearing the Rat Immortal's question, Colmar's first reaction was to subconsciously raise her head and look at it. The crown of trees overhead is full of branches, and the small leaves of early spring are verdant, and there are no cats riding on them.

So she understood the word 'riding' as 'seven', which happened to be in line with the idea of brain teaser.

The witch's fingers behind her back wrenched herself, and she calculated silently, and then replied tentatively, "There are 'seven' cats in the tree, and there are no cats on the ground, so there may be seven cats in total, or one cat......?" The cats in the Silent Forest may have been born with them. ”

This answer is decent, and it is a little clever.

"Do you think that cat's surname is Sun? and it was born with ......" The rat fairy scoffed at the witch's answer, shook his head, and denied it, "I'll tell you directly." There were zero cats in total, and that cat belonged to Schrödinger's. ”

"Zero cats?Schrödinger?" Colmar blinked.

Colmar was still a little impressed by the great wizard who had made outstanding contributions to the low-speed movement state spell of the Nian Zi Force Field. Parallel to this impression is the archwizard's quirky interest in felines.

Legend has it that Schrödinger once turned into a stray cat and wandered around the wild, just to better understand the cat's habits so that he could better serve his Egyptian cat named 'Erwin', which is said to have played hide-and-seek with Schrödinger, and when Schrödinger looked for him, he would never find him, but when he was not looking for him, he would always crouch at his feet.

So when she heard that the cat belonged to Schrödinger's family, Colmar could barely keep up with the rhythm, and she felt that she seemed to understand the samadhi of the rat immortal's answer.

But what about 'Zero Cats'?

The witch looked up blankly and glanced at the canopy above her head again.

The sky overhead was crisscrossed with branches, and there was indeed no Egyptian cat hiding in the middle.

The Rat Immortal sighed deeply: "Sure enough, it was a huge mistake to let you enter the Nine You Academy in the first place, and it has worn out your spirituality a lot. So much so that now the thinking of the problem is so rigid. ”

Colmar pursed her lips, noncommittal to Mr. Mouse's assessment.

The Rat Immortal didn't continue to sell Guanzi, but explained directly: "I said that there are zero cats on it, because when I opened my mouth, this cat wanted to run, so if you look up, it will naturally be zero cats." ”

"But because I'm here, the cat is in the middle between being able to run away and not being able to run away. ”

"You look up, and it runs away, and there's no cat in the tree. If you don't look up, he doesn't run, and there's a cat in the tree. This is very similar to the state of the Egyptian cat of the Schrödinger family, so I say it is the cat of the Schrödinger family. ”

This answer was full of 'philosophy of magic', and the witch reacted for a while before she realized the twists and turns, and she couldn't help but feel very upset - who would think of this kind of answer as a brain teaser except for the weird rat fairy!

It's just that she doesn't have time to pay attention to this bad luck for the time being.

For as soon as the rat fairy finished speaking, the witch heard a scream, and a black cat suddenly appeared among the branches above her head, and then spread its limbs widely, fell into the air, and fell into the mud at the witch's feet.

Of course, as a cat, it is impossible to break it, it is nothing more than the difference between the elegance of the landing posture and the non-or.

The black cat's landing position is more ugly, because it is planted with cat gnawing mud when it lands. But after gnawing, the black cat rolled on the ground, and its body suddenly grew, and in an instant it became the size of a rat fairy and a witch, like a little black leopard, hunched over, whining in its throat, and baring its teeth and making threatening noises at them.

"Oooh!" the rat fairy raised his arm again, twisted the beard at the corner of his mouth, and made a slight addition to his answer: "Well, add it again...... This Schrödinger cat is in a state between a cat and a non-cat. If you think it's a cat, it's a cat. If you don't think he's a cat, he's not a cat. ”

Colma's eyes narrowed, a glimmer of danger in her eyes.

"What do you mean," the witch touched the magic book behind her, bent down slightly, stared at the black cat in front of her, and made a look of preparation to attack at any time, and said with bad intentions: "This is a cat transformed by a wizard using Transfiguration......? Is there really a wizard who chooses to be a schizophrenic in order to use Transfiguration and still have power?

The rat fairy smiled and didn't say anything.

The black cat on the opposite side couldn't hold back.

The witch's tense form and the cyan magic halo of the magic book told him that if he didn't plan to leave some parts of his body here, then it was best to seize the last moment or two and say something.

"Pause!" the black cat shrank back and shouted, "It's Forbidden Magic Day! Wizards can't use magic!

The witch raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Then she glanced at the rat immortal, with a wicked smile on her face, and said very tactfully: "As long as I kill you, no one, no, no cat will know that I use magic today!"

Well, well, since she is willing to speak, it means that things are not so bad that they cannot be saved. The black cat's heart turned sharply, and at the same time, he put away the sharp blade that poked out between his claws, and was the first to show his kindness.

"I didn't mean anything, I just happened to be passing by. The black cat tried to express his kindness, and his eyes wandered between a man and a mouse a few times, and then added: "And I didn't hear anything just now." ”

"It's counterproductive. The Rat Immortal commented.

"Draw snakes. The witch said.

The black cat's face darkened a little.

"If you have malicious intentions, you have now been buried under the roots of the Revenant Poplar as tree fertilizer, how can you still have a chance to beep here. Colmar didn't put away the book, but her tense posture tightened slightly: "You should find a better way to say it." ”

The black cat's eyes stared at her.

Half a day.

"If you see fit, perhaps I can act as the 'guide' you just mentioned. The black cat said dryly, its ears pulled into an airplane, and it looked like it was low and small.

The witch squinted, her gaze subtle at the rat fairy.

"That's it. The rat fairy twisted his beard with satisfaction: "Fate is so wonderful...... If there is anyone in this world who can help you find that secret place faster, it is this black cat. ”

When Zheng Qing heard this, he was full of excitement, and looked nervously at the fat mouse in front of him who didn't know how old he was.

He always felt that the mouse had seen through his true identity under the skin of his cat.

Ps1, the question in the previous chapter, "Q: A cat riding on a tree, there are no cats on the ground, how many cats are there?, whose cat owns?" is written incorrectly, slightly affecting the back.

Ps2, don't care about the problem of Chinese homonym, assuming they all speak Chinese.
