Fina's life had been peaceful recently. It was able to eat on time, and it was rarely woken up by noisy birds when it slept. Fina was already satisfied. Sometimes it felt sad. How could it be satisfied just like that? Was this the same Fina that used to sit on the throne? In the current popular phrase, could it be that he had met a fake Fina Paris XIII?
Fina was too lazy to think about the reason. It would rather take a nap. Maybe it could see her face again when it was half-asleep.
Today was still a peaceful day. Fina was lying on the highest cat tree, taking a nap with its eyes closed. Since the shop had been renovated, the cat tree nailed to the wall had been refurbished. It was no longer a bare wooden board, but a removable cotton pad. It was very warm and comfortable to lie on. There was also a small interlayer in the middle of the cotton pad. According to the man named Guo Dongyue, a heating pad could be placed in the interlayer, so that it wouldn't feel cold on a snowy day.
Fina appreciated such a careful man. It felt that he had the potential to be a loyal servant. Zhang Zian, on the other hand, made Fina very angry. Zhang Zian thought that Guo Dongyue did something unnecessary, because he was the one who washed the cotton pad … After Fina couldn't stand it anymore, he became obedient.
Fina looked outside through the window. The cold wind was blowing, making it very sad. It didn't want to go out at all.
Fina had never experienced such a cold winter, and it heard that it was far from the coldest time. However, it was looking forward to snow. It had never seen snow before, so it thought that it wouldn't be worse than rain.
Fina yawned, and its hanging tail moved slightly. It felt as if there was hot air on the tip of its tail. If it was right, it was Snowy Lionet taking the opportunity to put its nose close to Fina's tail, and maybe it was sticking out its tongue like a dog. Fina flicked its tail like it was chasing away flies.
Hearing some noises outside the shop, Fei Na opened her eyes a little and glanced outside. Zhang Zian said a few words to a girl, and then asked Wang Qian and Li Kun, who were the servants of Fina, to go outside the shop to move things.
It closed its eyes with a lack of interest. Ever since he bought the princess bed, Zhang Zian hadn't brought anything good back to the store. All he had brought back were junk.
Automatic glass doors were good. Wang Qian and Li Kun had four hands, so they didn't need to push the door, and it opened automatically. They didn't know where to put the lifeless statue, so they could only place it near the door, as long as it didn't block the way.
After gently placing it on the ground, the two of them were also very curious about the statue. Before their master came in, they squatted down to take a closer look and even took out their mobile phones to take a few photos.
Fina, who was half-asleep and half-awake, had long heard the commotion, but it was too lazy to open its eyes until it smelled a familiar scent from ancient times.
It suddenly opened its eyes and stood up from the cat tree. Even its tail was stretched taut as it looked at the Holy Cat statue.
At the same time, Snowy Lionet, who was obsessed with Fina's tail, also noticed that there was something strange in the air. It didn't know what it was, but it felt that the room was filled with some kind of restlessness, which made it a little upset. It was indeed a cat, but it was only an imaginary elfin, not a real cat. It was less affected by the Holy Cat statue.
Old Time Tea was different.
When the Holy Cat statue was moved into the door, Old Time Tea sensed something through its well-trained intuition as a warrior. There was some kind of vague pressure, and it even stimulated its desire to use martial arts to break the rules.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were pointing at the statue with their butts in the air, when they saw Fina jump in front of them, glancing at them fiercely with a very serious expression. The two of them were suddenly shocked, and they couldn't help but stand up and take a few steps back.
Old Time Tea also came to the side cautiously, and stood in a corner with Fina.
Snowy Lionet didn't know what was going on, but as Fina's loyal dog, it didn't want to be left behind, so it followed them with its short legs.
Wang Qian and Li Kun suddenly felt that something was wrong. The kittens that usually played and chased each other in the whole shop all shrank into a corner, looking at them with fear.
Old Time Tea carefully looked at it for a moment. With its eyesight, it could naturally see that the statue was inextricably linked to Fina, so it asked, "Your Majesty, does this statue bring any danger?"
Fina shook its head. "Not for now. It's just a fake."
Although it was a fake, it was a very beautiful fake, one that could be considered realistic.
In the era that Fina lived in, there was not only the belief of the Cat Goddess, but also the worship of the Evil God. This statue was one of them. The appearance was almost the same, but the biggest difference was the nose ring. The orthodox Cat Goddess could have earrings, but not a nose ring, because the nose ring was often associated with the image of hell and the devil.
Of course, no matter the strength, purity, or breadth of the Strength of Faith, the orthodox Cat Goddess's belief was far greater than the worship of the Evil God. After all, it was something that could not be exposed to the light. Fina didn't expect that even this kind of thing had been passed down through the ages.
Fina already knew that, unlike the East, where domestic cats were loved, in the history of the West, domestic cats went through a long period of darkness. They were regarded as the devil's spokesperson, and were thrown into the fire together with the notorious witches to be burned to death. The origin of this rumor, if traced back, was the worship of the Evil God that had been quietly born in ancient Egypt.
It was very confused, because it had seen the real thing before, so it recognized that it was a fake at first glance. The appearance could be imitated, but the texture could not be forged. If it was the real thing, it would be a different story. But why did the fake still have the smell of the worship of the Evil God?
Fina looked back at the kittens in the corner. They also felt the evil emitted by the statue, and they stared at the statue in fear and trepidation.
Old Time Tea opened its eyes very nervously. Sometimes it looked at the statue, sometimes it looked at Fina. Whether it was the Rainbow Warrior or the Qing Ren, it had never been so nervous. After all, this was an opponent that it couldn't see or touch, and it was an ancient opponent that it had never encountered before. If it wasn't for the Heart of Breaking the Taboo in its body, even Old Time Tea would be a little scared.
Fina got closer, almost touching the statue. It closed its eyes and used its sense of smell to find the source of the strange feeling. This was something that only it could do. Only it had encountered the evil from ancient times.
Its neck stopped moving, and then it opened its eyes. It stared at the source of the strongest evil on the statue — the golden nose ring. Then it stretched out its paw and fiddled with it.
Fina's claws were very sharp. It scraped off the oxide on the surface of the nose ring, but the inner layer of the nose ring still had traces of oxidation. This meant that the real history of the nose ring was not comparable to that of the modern replica.
Fina and Old Time Tea looked at each other. They understood at the same time that this statue was a fake, but the nose ring was real. They didn't know where the maker of the fake got the real nose ring, but it might have come from the tomb of some worshipper of the Evil God. Maybe the maker didn't know the meaning of the nose ring, and only used it to look as close as possible to the original statue. He didn't expect that the combination of the nose ring and the statue would cause the evil from ancient times to show signs of revival.
Fina stared at the nose ring from ancient times. The history of the nose ring might even be longer than Fina's. It was very precious, and it had witnessed an era. However, it was also very evil, so evil that it couldn't be allowed to continue existing.
Although it was a little reluctant, Fina knew that there was only one way to solve this problem. This method couldn't be completed by itself. Although its claws were sharp, they couldn't cut through gold and jade like cutting through mud.
Fina decisively signaled Old Time Tea with its eyes.
Old Time Tea smiled lightly. "I am willing to serve Your Majesty." Then it stretched out its claws that were strengthened by the Strength of Faith.
The claws rose, and the ring fell.
