On the rooftop of the residential building, the three of them stood by the fence.
"Did it jump down from here?" After hearing Liu Wang's description of the image, Qi Cheng looked astonished.
"For a cat that has surpassed the 'Heavenly Way', jumping off a building without getting hurt should be a basic skill." Liu Wang said and added, "If you don't believe it, take a look for yourself."
After saying that, he waved his right hand in the air, and a projection screen appeared, showing the image of the Taiji cat jumping down from the fence five minutes ago.
"Did it really jump down?! Wait, your ability can actually project directly?" Qi Cheng looked at Liu Wang in surprise.
"This is the first qualitative change of the 'Wandering Hand' ability. I'll tell you this term for free. Your skill that can make me feel scared and my skill that can project directly came about in this way." Liu Wang said indifferently.
"Let's not worry about these terms for now." Lei Ting interrupted the conversation between the two, "The cat has run away. What should we do? Should we keep chasing it? Without Wang Yue, the obvious 'Mouse', it's not easy to directly find the supernatural cat that can run and jump around and even jump off a building without getting hurt."
"I don't have a good solution either. In my opinion, since the Taiji cat has no intention of catching the 'Mouse', why should we bother to find it? We can just wait for it to finish its business and go back to its lair on its own. If we're really in a hurry, we can just stay beside the 'Mouse' and wait for the 'rabbit' to come. Anyway, it's better than directly looking for the cat that has surpassed the 'Heavenly Way'." Liu Wang expressed his thoughts, and there was only one meaning in his words.
It's not realistic to directly look for the cat, especially a supernatural cat whose realm is higher than the three of them.
Of course, this is just his surface thought, mainly for Qi Cheng to hear. His true thought in his heart is:
The team leader is behind us. He is best at finding living beings in a large range. If we're lucky, he can find it with a whoosh, countless times faster than me. Why should I waste so much time and effort looking for it?
"I can't find it..." In an alley three hundred meters behind Lei Ting and the others, Lin Yuexiang held a bottle of mineral water in his hand and frowned.
After the second qualitative change of his ability, a new skill appeared, which he named "Biological Sensing". As the name suggests, as long as there are living beings within a certain range, he can sense them. Now he is using this ability to track Lei Ting and Liu Wang from a distance without being discovered by Qi Cheng.
Currently, his sensing range is five hundred meters in radius. There are only two cats within this range. He has checked the first one, and it's not the "Soul Devourer" with a Taiji face, just an ordinary tabby cat. And the second one is at his feet.
"Meow~" A big orange cat that wasn't afraid of people rubbed back and forth between Lin Yuexiang's legs, meowing cutely from time to time and purring continuously.
He also tried to expand the range to one thousand meters, and even to the maximum of two thousand meters. He did find more cats, but without exception, after checking them personally, none of them was the "Soul Devourer".
Then he came back here for no other reason than that among the more than twenty cats nearby, this one was the most affectionate to people.
"This is really strange..." Lin Yuexiang muttered, "Could it be that its ability can hide its existence? Then it probably has to turn itself into a soul state, and even transform its body together... Sigh, it seems I can't finish this today... I have to stay up late again..."
After complaining, Lin Yuexiang bent down and stroked the head of the big orange cat on the ground, and incidentally disinfected it for fleas all over its body.
"Well..." On the rooftop of the residential building, after hearing Liu Wang's words, Qi Cheng also fell into a dilemma.
He himself understood that it's easy to track a person, but tracking a cat, especially a supernatural cat, is almost as difficult as climbing Mount Everest. And he was also unwilling and uneasy to just leave like this. He had never told Lei Ting and Liu Wang one thing. Since just now, he had a premonition in his heart, a premonition that something big was going to happen, and as time passed, this premonition became more and more obvious and intense.
He believed that the "Soul Devourer" wouldn't attack Wang Yue, the "Mouse". But if that's the case, where did this premonition come from?
If he were just an ordinary person, he might just regard this premonition as an illusion and not think about it. But now, he knew that the world wasn't ordinary, and superpowers really existed. So, he had to believe this psychological premonition, which might be related to metaphysics or the occult.
"If it really doesn't work, we can also go down and look for it first. If we really can't find it, we'll follow what Liu Wang said." Seeing Qi Cheng's tangled expression, Lei Ting made a compromise decision.
"Although it's a waste of time... I can barely accept it." Liu Wang accepted Lei Ting's proposal.
"…We can only do this for now…" Qi Cheng really couldn't think of a better way, so he had to agree with Lei Ting's proposal and decided to take one step at a time.
At the same time, in Wang Yue's home on the sixth floor of the residential building.
Wang Yue was half lying on a sofa with several holes in it, looking expressionlessly at the somewhat distorted TV screen.
"Ah! This is boring..." Wang Yue turned off the TV, feeling bored.
Since he was fired by the electronics factory on the grounds of "unexcused absence from work" five days ago, he had been an unemployed person for a full five days.
When he first lost his job, he didn't think it was a big deal and thought he could just take a few days off. But now, after a few days, not only didn't he get enough rest, but he also felt even more exhausted.
The mental exhaustion, in simple terms, was that when he had a job, he complained that there were too few holidays, and when he didn't have a job, he complained that he was too idle and didn't know what to do. All day long, apart from sleeping, he had nothing else to do.
Well, he couldn't fall asleep this early morning because he had slept too much during the day yesterday. So, to kill time, he got up specially and walked more than ten kilometers to a park on the other side of the city.
Of course, the fundamental reason for this situation was that he had no money.
After working in the electronics factory for more than ten years and earning a basic salary of five thousand yuan per month, he might have a good life in a third- or fourth-tier city. But in Shanghai, a city with high prices, he could only ensure that he had food to eat, rent to pay, and clothes to wear. Saving money? Don't even think about it.
For the past few days, his three meals a day were mainly biscuits and other dry food that he had stocked up at home before losing his job, and the remaining three hundred yuan of his monthly salary.
But these couldn't last long either.
"Are you bored?" A pleasant female voice came from beside him. It was from a woman sitting next to him, wearing a bright red dress and looking extremely beautiful.
"Yeah. To be honest, I kind of regret driving away those three guys who were looking for the cat." Wang Yue replied calmly without feeling strange about the sudden appearance of this woman.
"Those three guys looking for the cat?" The woman in the red dress smiled softly and said to herself, "The 'Superpower Investigation Team'. I originally had to find a way to lead them here, but this saves me some trouble. It seems that the drama originally scheduled for tomorrow night can be staged ahead of time tonight. But... Did they come here to look for a cat? Hmm... It's probably a cat that has awakened superpowers and has been following him specifically... This is kind of interesting... But as long as it doesn't mess up my drama..."
The woman in the red dress didn't hide her voice when she spoke, and Wang Yue beside her heard everything clearly. But he didn't show any reaction, as if these were just ordinary words.
