Although Zhang Zian had a headache over Wang Yaning and wanted to stay away from her, if she was really in danger, he would inevitably feel guilty. After all, she had followed him here.
As for Teacher Sun, she was even more worried because there had just been a cat abuse incident in this bamboo forest. If a student from another school was in danger here, the reputation of Shimen Street Primary School would be even worse.
Fortunately, she was wearing sneakers and not high heels today. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to run so fast.
The two of them ran in the direction of the sound one after the other. In their hearts, they both blamed Wang Yaning for acting on her own without telling them.
Vladimir jumped even faster. Its movements were flexible, but they were only slightly more flexible than ordinary cats. In terms of speed, it couldn't compare to Fina and Old Time Tea.
The shadow of the bamboo in front of them flashed, and they saw Wang Yaning sitting on the ground with her back facing them. She seemed to be very frightened. Her hands were on the ground, her feet were constantly kicking, and her butt was moving backwards.
"Wang Yaning!" Teacher Sun hurriedly ran over and put her arms around her shoulders. She carefully examined her body from head to toe and found that she didn't seem to have suffered any injuries. She was just covered in dirt. Only then did she feel more at ease.
"Wang Yaning, what's wrong?" Teacher Sun asked nervously.
Wang Yaning's face was pale. Her lips were trembling, and her eyes were stiff as she stared in front of her. In a trembling voice, she said, "I … I think I saw the Holy Cat statue you guys were talking about. It … it seemed to be smiling at me …"
"What?" Teacher Sun couldn't believe her ears. She thought she had heard wrong. "Wang Yaning, wake up! Are you scared out of your wits? That's a statue. How could it smile? "
"It's true! It really was smiling! I didn't see it wrong! "Wang Yaning covered her ears and screamed." Why don't you believe me? If it didn't smile, how could I be afraid of a statue? "
"Okay, okay! Wang Yaning, calm down! "Teacher Sun temporarily gave up arguing and hurriedly comforted her.
Zhang Zian and Vladimir had already bypassed the two of them, one on the left and one on the right. They rushed to the front and carefully observed the movements around them.
A light breeze blew, and the bamboo forest rustled. Hundreds of swaying bamboos dazzled the eyes, making them feel as if there was something hidden in the bamboo forest. Of course, it could also be a visual illusion.
Zhang Zian used his eyes to ask Vladimir if it had seen anything. It shook its head in denial. "Meow! I said I'm just an ordinary cat, not a god!"
So far, other than the attack at the door of the pet shop, Vladimir's performance was really no different from that of an ordinary cat. It was neither like Old Time Tea, who looked like a tall, otherworldly cat, nor like Fina, who made all the cats submit to her. It was also very different from Galaxy. As it had said, it really did not seem to have any superpowers. It was just like all the other cats.
However, Zhang Zian knew that Vladimir had a special ability, and it was a very scary ability.
As the saying goes, a good man grows on his mouth, and a good horse grows on its legs. Vladimir was such an example. It had a strong persuasive and inciting power, and it had excellent leadership skills and temperament. It clearly did not have any superpowers, but it did not lack the courage to take the lead. In a sense, these were more terrifying than any superpowers.
After all, there was an old saying: "Those who work with their minds govern people, and those who work with their muscles govern people."
Zhang Zian wanted to go into the bamboo forest to search, but he was afraid that after he and Vladimir left, the Holy Cat statue would come back and scare Wang Yaning and Teacher Sun again.
Moreover, the Holy Cat statue seemed to be getting more and more arrogant. In the past, it always appeared at night, but now that it was noon, when the sun was shining brightly, it actually appeared so openly. This seemed to indicate that its power was also getting stronger.
As for Wang Yaning saying that it was smiling, if that was true, then it might be getting further and further away from being a dead thing, and getting closer and closer to being a real elfin.
He squatted down, stared at Wang Yaning's crying face, and asked, "The Holy Cat statue that you saw, which direction is it?"
Wang Yaning trembled as she pointed diagonally forward.
Without waiting for Zhang Zian's instructions, Vladimir had already taken the lead and leaped forward.
"Vladimir, be careful!" he could only shout from behind.
Its figure quickly disappeared into the bamboo forest, and only its voice came from afar. "Damn it, a complete Meow Meow Doctrine Believer is fearless!"
Teacher Sun was confused. "What did your cat do?"
"It went to pee." Zhang Zian casually brushed her off, then asked Wang Yaning in a reproachful tone, "What happened just now? Why did you leave by yourself? Why didn't you tell us? "
Surrounded by two adults, Wang Yaning regained some of her composure. She wrinkled her face in grievance and sobbed. "I … When you were talking, I looked left and right. Suddenly, I saw that there seemed to be something black moving in the bamboo forest. I wondered if it was the statue that you were talking about, so I wanted to come and take a look myself …"
Although she didn't say it clearly, Zhang Zian could guess what she was thinking based on her personality. She definitely wanted to find the Holy Cat statue that the adults couldn't find and then make a contribution. So, without saying a word to anyone, she ran over by herself. She even ran over quietly, afraid that others would steal the credit from her …
Teacher Sun said with a cold face, "Child, I thought you had a calm and steady personality. How could you be so rash? Why didn't you say hello to the adults? If something happened, who would take responsibility? "
She acted like a primary school teacher and wanted to repeat the same old words a few more times, but Zhang Zian waved his hand to stop her. It wasn't the time to talk about this.
"And then? What did you see when you came here? What did you hear? "Zhang Zian asked.
A trace of fear flashed across Wang Yaning's face. "When I came here, I saw a black silhouette squatting in the grass. It looked like a cat, but it seemed to be made of some kind of metal. I thought that it might be the Holy Cat Statue, so I walked over to verify whether it was or not. Then, it suddenly turned around and grinned at me ferociously …"
The terrifying scene had been deeply imprinted in her mind. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of it. Every time she recalled it, the primitive fear that came from the bottom of her heart completely stole her remaining courage.
This kind of situation, for example, was like walking in the middle of the night and seeing a beautiful woman with long hair in front of you. You wanted to go over and talk to her, but the other person turned around and saw Sadako's face …
Zhang Zian asked again, "Is there any special features on its face?"
"Yes!" Wang Yaning said with her eyes wide open. "It has a golden metal ring on its nose!"
