Compared to Lin Sanjiu, Meowie Hu's journey in Red Nautilus was much smoother.
Back when he was at Kisaragi Station, he didn't meet many living people, so he was a little muddle-headed. However, when he settled down in Free District, the cat doctor finally realized something.
"Humans are such a gullible race!"
Ever since it entered the Free Zone, it had received all kinds of warm hospitality along the way. Some prepared a bed for it, some took it out for a meal, and some took the initiative to share red crystals with it … Not to mention anything else, it had already tasted all kinds of special steamed buns from Red Nautilus.
Meowie Hu was different from before.
After living like a prince for more than a month, the silky fur on his body shimmered with every step he took. His glossy and soft fur had been meticulously trimmed by an enthusiastic posthuman. His fluffy tail looked especially beautiful. A bright red bow was tied around his neck. The cat doctor also carried a small backpack on his back. Inside the backpack were 20 medium crystals, some small dried fish, and a few small special items. They were all donated by kind-hearted people.
The cat doctor only had two regrets. First, he was separated from Rena, Rena, and Lin Sanjiu. He was transported too suddenly. Other than "Seagral Square", he didn't remember anything else. After he finally found and entered Seagral Square, he spent two whole days there before he came out in a daze. Naturally, he didn't find anything.
His second regret was that he hadn't seen a corpse for a long time.
Even though many people patted their chests and said that the cat doctor could use their corpses whenever he wanted once they died, no one was willing to die for the time being.
In order to find his friends and corpses, the cat doctor asked for the address of the Mokugyo Encyclopedic Forum. Then, he took small steps to the entrance of the forum.
The entrance of the forum faced the main street. It looked very grand. There was a wooden fish hanging in the middle of the arched door. Under the sunlight, it shone with a black luster. It was as tall as a person. It swayed gently in the air, dividing the arched door into two parts, the entrance and the exit. However, the entrance of the forum, which was usually bustling with activity, was dead silent today. He looked behind the wooden fish and even saw an empty corner of the main hall.
Meowie Hu slowed down his pace and walked into the hall silently.
Despite the tragedy that had just happened, there were still a few brave posthumans who had entered the hall. They gathered in groups of twos and threes in the depths of the hall. Their low whispers reverberated through the vaulted ceiling and the walls, forming an indistinct echo.
When the cat doctor approached him demurely. Almost without exception, the posthumans were immediately "subdued" by its demeanor.
"What's going on?" When he was still quite a distance away from the pile of flesh and blood, the cat doctor stopped. He was afraid that he would dirty his paws. "It's actually shattered to this extent …"
"Is the doctor here to do an autopsy?" An evolved person said respectfully, "I think you don't have to worry about it. After all, this was done by Santa Claus …"
Meowie Hu did not have much interest in the six human legs that had lost their upper bodies, nor did he care who the murderer was. He nodded his head in pity and asked the group politely, "I wonder who is willing to spend some time with me? This is my first time here, so there are still many things I don't understand … "
Amidst the enthusiastic response, the evolved person who was chosen by it immediately had a proud look on his face. He brought the cat doctor to a small console for one person.
"Look, after you input it like this, the corresponding results will appear …"
After demonstrating the operation method to the cat, the man even took the initiative to insert a handful of red crystals into the console.
When Meowie Hu saw that the number on the top right corner had jumped to 30, he pressed his paw on the screen without hesitation. Ever since it understood the system, it had already figured out what to search for. However, when the result popped up, it let out a soft "Woo?" sound.
There was only one sentence on the screen: "According to the relevant local laws and regulations, some of the search results cannot be displayed."
The male posthuman leaned over to take a look. He had a strange expression on his face.
"You are searching for … Progressor Alliance and Puppeteer?"
Meowie Hu looked at him confidently, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
His logic was very clear. Back at Kisaragi Station, he had heard from the siblings that Lin Sanjiu had a grudge against Puppeteer. Lin Sanjiu had a grudge against a guy called Puppeteer. Also, the Alliance that the siblings belonged to seemed to be on the opposite side of Puppeteer. Since she couldn't find the siblings, she just had to find the records of the conflict between the Alliance and Puppeteer. If he could find them, Lin Sanjiu wouldn't be too far away from Rena and Rena.
It was a good idea, but Meowie Hu obviously didn't expect that he would encounter a setback at the first step. He tapped the screen with his paw a few times, but the words on the screen still lit up.
"Uh, it's like this …" The male posthuman looked around. When he turned back, he lowered his voice, "If you want to find out more about that matter …
Actually, you don't need the system to search for 'that matter' … "
The cat sat down and wrapped his fluffy tail elegantly around himself. He said politely, "It seems like you know … Then, please tell me."
"Hey, that's for sure! It's like this. About half a year ago … there were rumors about this matter, but no one took it seriously … Hey, let me tell you from the beginning. "
"It happened about four to five months ago … I'm not too sure about the details. At that time, there was news that a pocket dimension had appeared in the ocean a few thousand kilometers west of Free District. Actually, it wasn't a big deal. No one would go to the center of the ocean for no reason. So, this pocket dimension didn't affect us at all … "
The cat doctor had never seen the ocean in his life. Ever since he came to Free District, he had never been to the seaside. However, to maintain his image, he nodded without changing his expression, pretending that he knew what the ocean was.
"I wasn't doing well. I didn't join any organization. I was just a straggler … So, when I heard the news, it was already quite late. Almost everyone knew about it. In less than two days, for some reason, all the airship ports in Free District were locked down. No airship was allowed to enter or leave. I remember during that period of time, not a single person from Cyber District could come over … Let's not talk about it, but everyone suspected that it had something to do with that pocket dimension. "
"Who sealed off the ports?"
"Ahem, there isn't a unified force in Free District that could cause such a huge commotion. I think the few influential people nodded their heads in agreement. From this, you can see how unusual that pocket dimension is … In the past, those influential people didn't fight with each other. I've never seen them reach a consensus. "
The cat seemed to be deep in thought. There was a glimmer in his emerald eyes. "What's going on with that pocket dimension? Nobody knows?"
"The influential people definitely know. For someone like me, who has to struggle just to find a visa, how would I know? "The male posthuman smiled bitterly.
"Then, what does this have to do with Puppeteer?"
"Listen to me slowly … Ever since Puppeteer leveled up two years ago, his power grew. So, he definitely had a part in the matter of closing off the ports. After about two months, the ports were finally opened. During that period of time, the atmosphere in Free District was very strange — and very tense. "
"What do you mean?" The kitten's tail twitched as it asked with great interest and restraint.
"Sigh, all kinds of resources have suddenly decreased. Even the price of food and water has doubled. I heard that a few big organizations are frantically buying up all the resources that can be taken away from the market for some reason. The only person who didn't do that was probably Puppeteer. It was probably Puppeteer. After all, his subordinates were all puppets! However, he started to look for Progressor Alliance frequently. "
"Don't be fooled by its name. In fact, this alliance …" The man smacked his lips. "There are less than 100 of them in the entire Twelve Worlds. It's said that this type of body is very weak in the early stages. Most of them would die before they reach the Twelve Worlds. Those who survive must have better options. Ahem, no matter what, they are much stronger than a lone wolf like me … Anyway, I heard that Puppeteer and people from Progressor Alliance were in frequent contact during that period of time. But, I don't know if there was a conflict or something else. It's hard to say … Then, two months ago, they all disappeared. "
"Disappeared?" Kitten's ears stood up. "What do you mean disappeared?"
"They disappeared … They disappeared. Whether they were puppets or Growth-type posthumans, almost all of them left. I don't know where they went. " The man lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "That's the truth. As for the rumors and speculations, I didn't tell you about them … Things like Matured Elders have been turned into puppets, and Puppeteer is creating a weapon that will shock the world … Cough. That's not reliable. "
The cat doctor blinked twice.
If that's the case, did the siblings also disappear with the Progressor Alliance?
After thanking the male posthuman, the cat waved his paw and sent him away. Then, he folded his front paws in his sleeves and stared at the screen for a while. From what he had heard, it seemed like Progressor Alliance and Puppeteer disappeared together, regardless of whether they were willing or forced … Connecting this with the lockdown of the ports, there was a 50% possibility that they went to the sea pocket dimension.
"The sea … What does it look like?"
He casually searched for "seafood" and narrowed his eyes. Then, he decided to personally go to the sea pocket dimension to save his friends who were in trouble.
However, before he left, the cat doctor didn't forget to search for "corpses" in his system's records.
As the pages popped up, the cat's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Finally, he stood up.
"Corpse collection point? Hmm … I should go to Seagral first before going to the port, right? "
The news that Lin Sanjiu had intentionally released finally fell into the ears of her target. Unfortunately, she couldn't follow her original plan and stand guard at the corpse collection point.
However, she didn't expect that her information would almost make the cat doctor suffer a huge loss. (To be continued.)
