Up until now, every time the Warding Off Evil Cat appeared, it always hid its head and tail. No one had seen its true appearance.
Zhang Zian had always thought that it was a black cat because it could always completely blend into the shadows. But now that he observed it carefully, he found that its fur was not pure black. Under the sun, it appeared to be a deep blue and slightly gray.
Famous had seen many kinds of pet cats in the pet shop. Seeing this, it asked Zhang Zian in confusion, "British Shorthair? It's a British cat? "
Zhang Zian shook his head slightly. "No, not a British Shorthair."
Because the blue cat of the British Shorthair dominated the country, many people saw a blue-gray cat and said it was a British Shorthair. Even Famous was no exception. However, Zhang Zian could tell at a glance that this Warding Off Evil Cat was not a British Shorthair.
"If I'm not mistaken, from its appearance, it's a mix of a Russian Blue and a Chinese cat," he said.
The Russian Blue, the French Chartres, and the British Shorthair were known as the three biggest blue cats in the world, but the other two were very rare in China. Occasionally, they would be mistaken for a British Shorthair.
Zhang Zian had never come into contact with a Russian Blue in real life, but he was a pet shop owner after all. He would usually enrich his professional knowledge. Otherwise, he would not be able to show off if he was stumped by customers.
The British Shorthair's characteristic was "round." It had round eyes, round cheeks, round claws, round tail tip, round torso, and many other kinds of circles.
Although the Russian Blue was also blue, compared to the British Shorthair, the Russian Blue had a slender body, long limbs, and a small and pointed face. If it was still impossible to distinguish based on these, there was a better way to distinguish them. The blue British Shorthair's eyes were yellow, while the Russian Blue's eyes were green with a hint of gold. Of course, their pupils were black or brown.
But compared to a purebred Russian Blue, this Warding Off Evil Cat's fur was darker. It was so dark that people would mistake it for black and gray in dark places. Some of the details were different from a purebred Russian Blue. It was probably due to the local cat's genes being integrated into its body. However, the Russian Blue's signature green eyes with gold made Zhang Zian unable to mistake it.
The Warding Off Evil Cat walked over as if there was no one else around and commented, "You are quite interesting. In this cold and selfish world, you are one of the few bright spots. At first, I had high expectations for you, but you disappointed me in the end. If the full score is 100, I can barely give you 60 points. "
Zhang Zian didn't know what score it was giving him. Maybe it was referring to the process of him saving the baby. But even Old Time Tea, who had always had high standards, had given him a high evaluation. Why did it give him 60 points?
In all fairness, in the process of saving the baby, there were some details that were worth discussing. If he had time to think about it carefully, there might be a better solution. But even so, he couldn't just barely pass, right?
Also, its tone was too arrogant, saying that this was a cold and selfish world … Even if there were flaws and bad people in this world, at least most people were good people, right? For example, the traffic police and auxiliary police who helped. If it weren't for them, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so smoothly.
Old Time Tea also shook its head slightly, disagreeing with the Warding Off Evil Cat's judgment.
"What are you referring to? Are you talking about what happened just now? Did you see everything? "Zhang Zian asked in surprise.
"Of course." The Warding Off Evil Cat nodded and sneered. "Did you think that it was a coincidence that you met those two swindlers and human traffickers?"
Zhang Zian was stunned. What did it mean? If it wasn't a coincidence, could it be … that it had purposely lured him to that specific street to let him meet the young man and woman, then took the opportunity to observe his reaction?
If that was the case, he thought that he, Old Time Tea, and Famous had set a trap and wanted to trap the Warding Off Evil Cat. Actually, he had already fallen into the Warding Off Evil Cat's trap. It had purposely beat him at his own game and invited him into the trap …
At that moment, a few stray cats of various colors jumped out from the walls and roofs nearby, staring at them from afar.
Since the stray cats could report Zhang Zian's movements to it, of course, they could also report the movements of the young man and woman to it. Previously, it had not been running around blindly in the old city, but it had been looking for the right time for him to meet the young man and woman … Perhaps it could even be traced back to the moment when it had voluntarily appeared on the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. From then on, it had been luring the enemy deep in.
Zhang Zian was startled. What a deep scheme! What a thorough plan!
In front of it, he felt that he had really become an idiot who thought he was infallible.
"When I noticed you in the square, I thought that you were quite interesting, so I purposely arranged a small test for you. Unfortunately, you disappointed me." It shook its head regretfully.
"How am I disappointed? You said that you gave me 60 points. I want to know where the other 40 points were deducted? Was it because I shouldn't have hesitated when making a choice? "Zhang Zian asked, unwilling to give up.
The choice he was talking about was, of course, the moment when he had to choose between chasing the Warding Off Evil Cat and chasing the young man and woman. At that time, he had indeed hesitated because he was not sure whether the young man and woman were human traffickers. But even so, even if he had chased them earlier, the result would not have changed. No matter what, he would not have deducted 40 points …
"No, of course not. In that kind of situation, hesitation is normal." The Warding Off Evil Cat denied his guess. "At that time, I saw you clench your fists, right?"
"That's right." Zhang Zian admitted that when he realized that the two people could be human traffickers, he had indeed clenched his fists out of anger.
"So why didn't you just punch them?" it asked, as if it was a matter of course.
Zhang Zian was speechless.
"Under normal circumstances, no one would punch them, right?" He had a stomach full of complaints. "At that time, I was still not sure whether they were human traffickers or not …"
"But you were at least sure that they were scamming money, right?" it continued to ask.
"That's true," he admitted. "But scamming tens of dollars or hundreds of dollars is not enough to hit them. Besides, they were girls. As a man, hitting a woman for such a small matter is really …"
"See, this is where your problem lies — soft-heartedness!" The Warding Off Evil Cat interrupted his explanation. It widened its eyes and said sternly, "In your eyes, that was a woman, but in my eyes, that was a reactionary!"
Zhang Zian said, "… You don't have to bring it up to reactionary, right …"
It said with righteous indignation, "You saw the true face of the reactionary, but you still spent so much effort to follow them and find people for help. You almost let the reactionary escape. This is the worst battle strategy!"
"Then what is the correct battle strategy?" Zhang Zian asked back.
It raised one of its front paws in exasperation and slammed it heavily on the ground. It shouted, "Fight with force, not fight with words!"
