Chapter 67 Black Cat
After parting ways with Officer Natalie at the entrance of the Scarecrow Club, Lynch didn’t know why, but he just felt a little melancholy in his heart.
Well, there is only one thing. I must have gotten used to her presence by spending time together these days, and I am a bit uncomfortable with the sudden separation.
It is true that Officer Natalie has been following Lynch around in the past two days, and a lot of things have happened. However, the square incident is a long-term investigation after all. As a watchman, Officer Natalie has other cases in hand, and the investigation is temporary. After stopping waiting for information from all aspects, the police officer naturally needs to return to her normal work.
So the two of them agreed to temporarily separate themselves to search for clues in the past few days, and wait until the results are back before conducting the next step of the investigation, and then waved goodbye.
Lin Qi planned to walk back.
It's definitely not to save money, but Lynch plans to take advantage of the time on the road to plan his future arrangements.
Since he plans to live in this world for a long time, in addition to the archbishop's commission, he must also start When thinking about your future life, you must earn as much money as possible to make your life more comfortable.
After all, I can’t even afford a teaching document on abilities and secrets or a rare item. It’s really embarrassing for a soul-changer. My current income may be quite considerable for ordinary people. , but for the world of soul-shifters, it is just a living, and we still have to try our best to improve it.
But making money is still secondary. Survival is much more important than making money.
The rich experience from another world told Lynch that now that he has stepped into the extraordinary gate, nothing is as reliable as personal strength. He must improve his strength as soon as possible to the level where he can fight normally, otherwise he will have to fight every time Behind the police officer, although this posture is not bad, it will cause self-loathing if it is repeated too often.
The police officer also agreed with Lynch's idea, so in the original plan, she would take Lynch to test his affinity with the secret arts today. However, after encountering a strong ghoul, She needed to report this kind of sensitive and dangerous information in a timely manner, and she would definitely not be able to spare the time today. Moreover, with Lynch's current wealth, it was just a test, and he couldn't afford anything, so she might as well wait until later.
However, Natalie also left him several addresses, all of which were private clubs such as fencing clubs, fighting clubs, and shooting clubs, as well as secret business places like Mrs. Bessie's Magic Shop, with passwords for entry. They also informed Lin Qi that he could go there on his own at any time if needed.
Lynch plans to take a tour of the Rhine City in the past few days, visit all these places, and then start his own improvement plan, but that is a problem that needs to be considered tomorrow. There are more important things now. To consider.
Now he has walked into the cobweb-like alley again.
You won't be beaten again today, right? I'm wearing ordinary linen clothes today, and that little bastard is recovering from his injuries in bed. Despite this thought, Lynch still placed the pistol and ring in the most convenient place.
Even if he knew that they were still a group of children, Lynch did not intend to spoil them. If he really didn't know what was good for him, he would let them improve their memory.
Fortunately, there were a lot of residents coming and going in the alley at this time. It seemed that it was not suitable for robbery. He walked halfway through and didn’t encounter any robbers. This made Lin Qi feel relieved and entertained himself. He muttered: "What, this city is actually very safe."
I don’t know if this sentence was too flamboyant, but within a minute of saying it, Lin Qi felt something was wrong.
I feel like I'm being watched.
There are no illusions in horror movies, and there are no coincidences in the mysterious world. Lynch was immediately alert, and while maintaining a normal pace, he looked around covertly.
The surroundings were quiet, and there wasn't even a human figure in the alley, but the feeling of being spied on still lingered.
I have been moving. The peeper cannot be someone hiding in the room. The other party must be moving with me.
But where?
There was absolutely no one around, so what on earth was spying on me?
Lynch decided to take back the comment he just made. This city is indeed weird and dangerous.
Still feeling a little scared, Lynch asked in a low voice in his mind: ‘Neighbor, are you still there? ’
【Always there. 】
‘What is the situation now? ’
【I will be by your side to witness your immortal journey. 】
‘You’re watching the excitement, right? You don’t pay the admission fee. It’s really bad. ’ It felt good to be accompanied by someone. Lin Qi immediately lost his fear. As he calmed down, he saw a dark shadow flash out of the corner of his eye.
What?
He suddenly stopped and quickly raised his head, and saw a black cat lying on the eaves of a nearby building, a pair of green eyes staring at him lazily.
Huh? Are you the one staring at me? Am I scaring myself again?
Lin Qi looked at the black cat carefully and it looked quite beautiful.
The pure black fur is as smooth and shiny as satin, the body is slender and supple but strong, and the two eyes are lazy but shining, like a beautiful elf in the dark.
One tall and one short, one big and one small, the two looked at each other from a distance for a long time. Lynch raised his front paw and waved: "Good evening."
Black Cat Swing He swung his tail and closed his eyes completely, as if he didn't care at all about a fool talking to a cat.
The cat doubted his IQ.
Lin Qi curled his lips, turned around in frustration, and walked away. After walking a few steps, he looked back and found that the black cat was still about the same distance from him, and it was obviously following him.
Something is wrong. Is it following me intentionally?
Lin Qi's heart tightened, and he immediately quickened his pace and quickly walked through an alley. Then he turned around and saw the black cat still lying on the wall, wagging its tail lazily.
As expected, I'm still here. Are you following me?
We can't let it follow it any longer. This thing is a bit weird, and its purpose is unclear and it's hard to distinguish between friend and foe. If it continues to follow it, something will happen.
Lynch stood there, staring at the black cat and thinking for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the black cat. The black cat roared, flicked its tail dissatisfied, and disappeared from Lynch's sight after a few leaps.
Is this a psychological shadow of being frightened by a gun, or does he really know what a gun is?
Lin Qi couldn't be sure for a while. He just felt that even cats in this world are so weird, so he should be careful.
Fortunately, the feeling of being spied on disappeared with the departure of the black cat, and Lin Qi felt a little more relaxed. However, he was still quite concerned about being followed by a cat, and he immediately quickened his pace.
He did not dare to go around in the alley for fear of getting lost. As soon as he rushed out of the alley, Lynch immediately dove into the crowd of people who had just returned home from work near Charles Square. The noisy voices and messy figures immediately Surrounding him, he finally felt a little safer.
Looking back at this time, Lin Qi saw the black cat again, lying on the eaves of the alley, looking at Lin Qi from a distance, but did not continue to follow.
Doesn't seem malicious?
After thinking about it, Lynch still felt a little weird, so he simply took off his peaked cap and pressed it on his chest, bowed slightly to the black cat in the distance, and apologized for pulling out his gun just now.
This time the black cat finally changed. It licked its paws and turned around, turning its tail towards Lynch with disdain.
"Mr. Leviv?" A soft voice came from beside him, "Why are you standing outside."
It was the landlady, who was returning from the direction of the square with a vegetable basket, her delicate face under her blond hair showed A warm smile.
"Nothing, I saw a cat." Lynch looked up again, and the black cat in the distance had disappeared. Everything just seemed to be just an illusion.
"There are often wild cats here. Don't worry too much, Mr. Leviv. Let's go home."
"Yes."
Lin Qi nodded, and glanced back at nothing. They followed the landlady behind the eaves of the building. Just as they opened the door of Apartment 221, a cat meowed from above their heads.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the black cat licking its paws, its green eyes casting a stern gaze, turning around Lin Qi, and then jumped up and disappeared into the surrounding ancient buildings.
