Zhang Zian watched as the light representing the elfin's position moved on the screen. The light had covered the Forbidden City before, but now half of the light had deviated from the Forbidden City.
He thought it was strange. The elfins he'd met before were basically fixed in a certain position on the map. This was the first time he'd seen an elfin move, and it was moving quite fast.
Wen Li held the orange cat and walked at a moderate pace. Occasionally, she would ask a few questions about the three infectious diseases, but Zhang Zian didn't have time to waste here. He asked, "I suddenly have something urgent to discuss with me. I'll go first. Where's the exit?"
"Oh, over there. After a few turns, you'll see it. It's not far from the Gate of Strength." She pointed to the northeast.
"Okay, then I'll go first. Bye-bye. I'll come again when I have time," Zhang Zian said absentmindedly as he stared at the screen, then started running.
"Hey! You're running in the wrong direction! Go straight at that intersection. Don't turn. This is the way to the Worship Room! "she reminded him from behind.
Zhang Zian was speechless.
"Meow meow meow! The Worship Room is the way! "Snowy Lionet finally couldn't help but shout.
"Huh? Where is the cat meowing? "Wen Li looked around in confusion." There are no cats around … "
Zhang Zian pretended not to hear. He braced himself and trotted away from the Gate of Strength, leaving the Forbidden City.
To the northwest of the Forbidden City was Beihai Park, and to the north was Jingshan Park. The light had almost completely left the Forbidden City. It first ran northeast for a while, then turned southeast and ran into the densely populated area.
After wandering around the Forbidden City for the whole morning, it was almost noon. There were more people on the streets, and there was an endless stream of cars. The search suddenly became more difficult.
Xinghai was running excitedly at the front, but as soon as it left the Forbidden City and saw the bustling crowd in front of it, it hesitated to move forward.
Pi didn't usually exercise, so it was also panting after running.
Snowy Lionet was the same. It was too difficult for its short legs to run, and its fur was too long. It was very hot from the strenuous exercise, so it kept asking to go back into the phone.
Fina wasn't afraid of people, and its athletic ability was strong, but it didn't want to lower itself to chase another cat elfin. It was lazy and couldn't lift its spirits.
Zhang Zian had to pay attention to the movement of the light on the screen and watch out for them to not be hit by cars. It was difficult to do two things at once. He had no choice but to put the four of them into his phone, leaving only Famous, Old Time Tea, and Richard outside.
There were many alleys and old-style residential buildings in this old city area. Sometimes, one could even see siheyuan, which was filled with the rich style of the old capital. The Warding Off Evil Cat that had run away seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the area. It kept changing directions as it walked through the streets, making Zhang Zian very tired.
Fortunately, Richard was flying high up to keep an eye on the cat, Old Time Tea was running on top of the walls and roofs, and Famous was sniffing along the road. If Zhang Zian had chased after it alone, he would have long been left behind.
There were a few times when, according to Richard's words, Zhang Zian thought that the cat had run into a dead end and had nowhere else to run. Just as he was about to catch up, it would always inadvertently find an unknown path, or even a dog hole, and make a detour into another alley, which made him very angry.
Logically speaking, this was a very strange thing, because the elfin radar in his phone was similar to the Saiyan's dragon ball radar. It could roughly know the direction in which the cat was escaping, and then take a shortcut to intercept it. But the cat didn't have a radar. How could it know his movements like it could predict the future? Every time he tried to catch it, he failed at the crucial moment. He always felt that his every move was in the cat's grasp …
At this time, he noticed another thing. No matter where he and the elfins went, they would encounter stray cats — whether it was between the branches of the weeping willows, on the walls of the siheyuan, or on the roofs of the old houses. Everywhere, there were all kinds of stray cats staring at him with strange eyes.
After making eye contact with him, the stray cat flicked its tail and ran away. The direction it ran in matched the direction that the Warding Off Evil Cat had run in.
It was not very possible to say that this was a coincidence, because the dozens of stray cats he had encountered along the way were all in the same situation. It would be more convincing to say that they had collectively become elfins.
He could not help but think of a horrifying possibility. Could it be that the Warding Off Evil Cat was commanding these stray cats to scout his movements?
If that was the case, the scouting operation had already started the day before yesterday when he had checked into the hotel, and at that time, the game had not even shown the elfin's appearance …
As he chased, he thought about it, but he had no clue.
The sound of heavy breathing beside his ear made him slightly distracted. He turned his head to look and saw that Famous was running and panting with its tongue out.
He looked at Old Time Tea again. Old Time Tea's situation looked better than Famous's. Its breathing was long, and the rhythm of its breathing was still the same. Even so, he and Famous were still young, but Old Time Tea was, after all, old. Chasing blindly like this was not a solution.
As for Richard, this b * tch bird was very good at taking care of itself. After flying for a while, it would land and squat on his head to rest for a while. It was also always chattering sarcastically. It made people so angry that they wanted to drown it in soy milk.
He was just about to call Old Time Tea and Famous to rest and take a breather when he unexpectedly realized that the speed of the Warding Off Evil Cat seemed to have slowed down. It was wandering near a street not far away and did not continue to run away.
Could it be that it was also tired of running?
That was possible. After all, they had been chasing each other for quite a distance.
He pulled himself together and said to Old Time Tea and Famous, "That elfin doesn't seem to be running anymore. It stopped in front. Let's think of a way. This time, we definitely cannot let it run away again! We have to at least get an explanation from it. Why is it spying on us? "
Old Time Tea and Famous were both a little tired. Hearing that, their spirits were lifted.
They discussed the battle plan in front of the game's electronic map. In the end, they decided to split into three paths to outflank it. Famous would be in charge of the left wing, Old Time Tea would be in charge of the right wing, and Zhang Zian would continue to advance along the middle path, but he would slow down. He would wait for Old Time Tea and Famous to circle behind the Warding Off Evil Cat and block its path of retreat. At that time, they would appear together and catch a turtle in a jar!
While discussing the plan, he gave Old Time Tea and Famous a look. Then, he lowered his voice and deliberately avoided the ears and eyes of the stray cats nearby.
Old Time Tea and Famous suddenly realized that the reason they had been running for their lives was because there were stray cats that had sent information to the Warding Off Evil Cat. No wonder they could not catch up to it.
However, the stray cats could only see Zhang Zian and could not see Old Time Tea and Famous. Thus, Zhang Zian would attract the stray cats' attention and outflank them.
The plan had been decided. Old Time Tea and Famous ran to the left and right alleys respectively.
