The fire in the provincial hospital burned until the afternoon of the next day before it gradually dimmed. At that time, Lin Sanjiu and the others had already left the hospital. They walked aimlessly as they counted the days.
After they experienced another battle for the number of lives in Mausoleum Primary School, the number of lives that they had and the number of days that they had spent had finally reached 108. In other words, this Instance Dungeon that lasted for a long time and covered a wide area could finally be completed by them.
Even though Reno and Rena had confirmed with the cat doctor over and over again, when the 108th day arrived, the siblings still jumped up early in the morning. For the next half of the day, they would look at each other's backs every once in a while, hoping that the number on their backs would suddenly disappear. However, when the time came, the two children couldn't help but let out a round of cheers.
"Since the number is gone, let's leave quickly," the cat doctor looked down at them. Meowie Hu didn't know if all cats had this bad habit, but he liked to climb to a high place and talk to them from a high vantage point. "I think we should take the tram and leave this area as soon as possible."
"Are you afraid that someone will attack us because they think that we still have the number on us?" Reno asked respectfully.
"No." Kitten sat on the top of the wardrobe and looked down at the three humans. "I seem to remember that if you stay in the instance dungeon area for an hour after the number disappears, the instance dungeon will automatically default to you participating in the next round of 108 days —"
Before it could finish its sentence, the siblings jumped up from the ground.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's leave quickly!" Rena was afraid that she would be dragged back into the pocket dimension in the next second. She leaned against the door frame and waved her hands frantically, "Let's go! Let's go!"
Lin Sanjiu stood up slowly. Recently, when she wasn't fighting, she would always move as slowly as a sloth. According to Mrs. Manas, this was because her body wasn't full of life energy and her physical body hadn't fully awakened yet. When she reached the door, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She turned around and saw that the bicolor cat was still lying on top of the wardrobe.
"Let's go. Why aren't you moving?" she asked, puzzled.
"You guys should just leave. Why bring me along? "Meowie Hu tilted his head matter-of-factly," I'm a cat that was born here. "
The three of them were stunned, and the air was silent for a few seconds. During this period of time, they had been with the cat doctor all the time and had taken his existence for granted. None of them expected that the cat doctor would suddenly stop traveling with them.
"But. But... "Rena said" but "for a long time. She didn't know what to say." Don't you want to leave Kisaragi Station... "
The cat doctor licked his paw gracefully.
"I'm not sure if the visa you mentioned can be used on a cat. Besides, I'm living quite well at Kisaragi Station." It nodded its head in a dignified manner. "I'm happy to have a friend to accompany me for a period of time."
"We can give it a try!" Rena was a little anxious. "We usually carry two extra blank visas with us. I'll give Jiu one and you the other... Red Nautilus is much better than this place, really!"
"Is that so..." The cat doctor looked at the visa that Lin Sanjiu had already taken out. His expression didn't change much, "But cats are always homesick."
The teenage girl's small face immediately scrunched up like a bitter gourd. Her lips twitched. Even Lin Sanjiu couldn't bear to part with him. She sighed softly and patted the two kids' shoulders, "Since Dr. Hu wants to stay, you guys don't have to force him. Let's go. If we don't leave now, our time is up. "
The cat sat on the wardrobe and looked at them quietly. He didn't move nor did he say anything.
The two kids walked out of the door silently with their shoulders slumped. They looked like they were about to cry. Lin Sanjiu paused and turned to look at the cat doctor. Then, she walked quickly to the wardrobe.
"You have to take care of yourself," Lin Sanjiu said to her beautiful companion who had helped her a lot during this period of time. Lin Sanjiu also felt bad. She reminded the cat softly, "I know you can confuse people, but don't use that to fool around. Maybe one day, you will meet another person who has the same higher consciousness as me... After we leave, you have to find a place with fewer posthumans to stay..."
The cat's emerald eyes glinted in the dim light. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell what he was thinking at that moment.
Lin Sanjiu sighed again. She was much taller now, so she could touch the top of the wardrobe when she raised her arm. Lin Sanjiu slowly stretched her hand out, trying to stroke Meowie Hu's fur.
The kitten took the initiative to put its forehead into her hand and let out a slight purr. Its soft and fluffy fur tickled her palm.
"I will have a chance in the future. I will come and see you again, "Lin Sanjiu said slowly.
Even though she said that, she knew very well that in this apocalyptic world, it would be difficult to see each other again once they parted ways.
When they walked out of the apartment building, the three of them turned to look at the tiny silhouette of a cat by the window. They couldn't help feeling a little gloomy.
After listening to the cat doctor's suggestion, they ran all the way and soon found a tram stop called "Old Vine Station." Just like the previous times, they did not have to wait for long before a tram stopped at the station with a loud rumble. After that, the rumble of the tram brought them out of the pocket dimension, away from the Provincial Hospital, and away from Meowie Hu.
Even after the cat's ability to confuse people had disappeared, the two kids were still very depressed. Even Reno didn't remember to be afraid of the cat. He just sat at the side with a long face.
Lin Sanjiu calculated the days and realized that they didn't have much time left at Kisaragi Station. The siblings had arrived a week earlier than Lin Sanjiu, which meant that they would be teleported away from Kisaragi Station a week earlier than her.
Ever since the apocalyptic world descended, this was the first time Lin Sanjiu knew exactly which world she was going to next. As she held the blank visa in her hand, she felt a little anxious, which was rare for her.
The train stopped slowly as if it had arrived at another station. However, no one paid any attention to it. They discussed for a while what to do after they arrived at Red Nautilus and decided on a rendezvous point. The siblings also told Lin Sanjiu a lot of things to take note of. Lin Sanjiu listened to them in a daze.
Naturally, no one boarded the train at this station.
Just when the door of the train was about to close with a long screech, they heard a faint and drawn-out "Meow —" from outside.
Before they could react, a small black shadow slammed into the closed door of the tram. Lin Sanjiu reacted quickly and smashed the window with her fist. Then, she reached out and scooped the black shadow out of the tram that had just started moving. Lin Sanjiu's reaction was quick.
"I've changed my mind!" The cat, who had a few tufts of fur pulled out, whined miserably, "It's hard to find a bosom friend. Let's go together —"
Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw a few figures rushing into the train station that they had left behind at high speed. They seemed to be the pursuers brought by the cat doctor.
Lin Sanjiu glared at the cat on the ground. (To be continued.)
