Zhang Zian didn't want Fina to go with them, because after what happened during the day, he found that once it was related to cats, Fina would act too impulsively, regardless of the consequences. It was very likely that it would get hurt, so he tricked it into staying.
He only had one life. He did not think that the rebirth or transmigration in web novels were real. He also did not think that the mummies of the pharaohs and the great priests would one day move again. Even the internal organs had been taken out, and the whole body had been marinated with spices like roasted meat. How could it still move? It was better to let Fina stay in the shop.
Fina was still a little hesitant, so Zhang Zian continued, "What's more, we might not be able to find the Holy Cat statue this time. It's very likely that we'll be making a wasted trip … As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. When there's accurate news about the Holy Cat statue, I'll definitely tell you immediately."
Finally, Fei Na agreed to stay in the shop through reasoning and flattery.
Fina pulled itself together and assumed a posture of guarding the whole store, which disappointed Snowy Lionet.
"Meow! Zian, are you going out?" Xinghai ran after Wendy and heard Zhang Zian's conversation. It stopped and tilted its head.
"Yes, I'm going out to look for something. Do you want to go with me?" he asked.
"Looking for something?" It blinked. "Is it like hide-and-seek?"
He snapped his fingers. "That's right, Xinghai, you're right! Strictly speaking, the thing we are looking for is not an inanimate object. It might be able to move or even fly. It should be similar to hide-and-seek. "
"Meow! Then Xinghai wants to go!" It jumped up excitedly.
Tonight, Zhang Zian planned to go to an unfinished building in the suburbs to look for it. This building was on Snowy's list. Witnesses claimed that when they passed by the building, they saw something that looked like the Holy Cat statue in one of the windows. However, because of the distance, they were not sure if it was the Holy Cat statue.
During the day, Snowy had advised him not to go there, because that place had been abandoned for a long time and was rarely visited. Maybe the netizens were playing a prank.
Zhang Zian felt that it might be true, because the tone of the witness was uncertain. If it was a prank, he would definitely say that it was there.
Since it was a deserted place, it shouldn't be a problem to bring Xinghai along. He could just treat it as a stroll.
"Quack! Why didn't you bring me along for the fun? I want to go too! "Richard was unwilling to be left out and landed on his shoulder.
"Screw you! Aren't you blind at night? Are you going to make trouble for us? "Zhang Zian scolded and waved her away. If this b * tch bird followed them, it could scare away the cat abuser with its coarse duck voice from 800 meters away.
"Quack! I'm going to sue you for discriminating against disabled birds! "
Richard flew away, circled in the air, and landed on Old Time Tea's electric blanket.
"Hmm, alright then. I'll stay. It's finally my turn to hold the remote control!" It used its claws to fiddle with the remote control, changing channels one after another. "Quack, quack, I can't get HBO? Then, let me see which video app has a porn video … "
Zhang Zian said, "… Keep your voice down. I don't want the Anti-Pornography and Illegal Publications Office to find me …"
As for the two elfins upstairs, there was no need to ask them if they wanted to go or not. One was focused on typing and writing a novel, and the other was addicted to live broadcasting and playing with her phone. She couldn't even leave the bathtub.
The temperature difference between day and night in spring was huge. Although it was warm during the day, it was still a little cold at night. Zhang Zian put on an extra thick coat, took the car keys, and left the shop with the three elfins. He turned around and pulled down the shutter door and locked it.
It was convenient to have a car, not to mention the large body and large cargo capacity of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV. Even if the elfins sat in it, the space was still very spacious. If they took a taxi from a stranger, it might not be convenient to take Xinghai out with them.
Fina briefly showed its head on the second floor, looked down at them, and proudly took on the responsibility of guarding the pet shop. After all, those who could fight had left the shop, and the rest were vulnerable.
Zhang Zian started the car, followed the list that Snowy gave him, and drove to the suburbs.
In the back seat, Famous sat in the middle, and Old Time Tea and Xinghai sat on the left and right. They stuck their faces to the window and curiously observed the nightlife outside.
Today was the weekend, so there were more cars on the road than usual. After about half an hour of driving, they arrived near the destination.
In the dusk, a building without a roof appeared in front of them. It was dark, and most of the details could not be seen clearly.
Zhang Zian and the elfins got out of the car one after another. He locked the door and looked up at the building.
A few years ago, Binhai City experienced a boom in real estate development. Capital and manpower swarmed into the real estate industry, and the housing prices rose. However, the income level of Binhai City could not support the hot housing prices. After a short period of prosperity, there were only a few feathers on the ground.
This building was a product of that period. When it was almost finished, the housing prices in Binhai City plummeted. The developer's capital chain was broken, and he could not pay the workers' wages. Thus, he went bankrupt. This unfinished building had been stuck there, and no one knew who the final ownership belonged to.
In fact, even if this building was completed, no one would buy it. The surroundings were very desolate, and there was not even a shadow of the supporting facilities. The price was ridiculously high. The developer completely treated the people as fools.
It was precisely because of this that this unfinished building was still a little famous in Binhai City. It had become a landmark building nearby. Some young people who were bored to death would also come here at night to explore. There were also rumors on the Internet that this building was haunted, but of course, they were all false rumors.
It was hard to say whether it was haunted or not, but there were no surveillance cameras around. It was indeed a good place to abuse cats, and there was no fear of being discovered.
There was a moon that night. Although it was not a full moon, it was still no problem to illuminate the road.
Zhang Zian prepared an extra flashlight because after entering the building, the moonlight would not be able to shine. He did not have the night vision of a cat.
The surroundings were very quiet. A few plastic bags were hanging between the branches on the side of the road, and a gust of night wind blew, making a "hua hua" sound.
Meow! Meow!
There was a faint sound of cats ahead.
The night wind was also mixed with the sour smell of domestic garbage. Obviously, the nearby residents were lazy and used this place as a garbage dump, which also provided food for the stray cats.
Although the building was unfinished, at least it could shelter the stray cats from the wind and rain.
Famous lowered its head and sniffed. "There is a lot of dog feces nearby … and human feces. I'll walk in front, in case you guys step on it."
Zhang Zian and the three elfins moved forward in an arrowhead shape. Famous was in front, Zhang Zian was in the middle, and Old Time Tea and Galaxy were on the left and right. They moved forward towards the dark unfinished building.
