Chapter 166 Humans and Cats Need Family Warmth
As he spoke, the man with the mustache stroked his beard and said, "I hate those self-righteous people."
“They always thought that their little tricks wouldn’t be noticed by the company’s upper management.”
After saying a few more words, the man with the mustache finally looked at them and said, "Alright, I'll take you to the place where you can adopt human cats."
Before leaving the room, he looked at Yan Xun and the others again.
"I guarantee you will be very satisfied."
……
The cat adoption location is on the 10th floor of Jonathan's company.
After leading the two groups to this floor, the man with the mustache pointed to the rooms and said, "You can stay here for the time being."
"There will be food here, as well as other items you may need."
"Humans and cats are very vulnerable and need the loving care of their adopters, so you cannot leave this floor during this period."
"I must meet and greet the human and the cat every day."
As he spoke, he led two groups of people to a common area that resembled a living room.
There is a whiteboard in the public area with the time and precautions written on it.
Day 1
1. The adopter needs to demonstrate sincerity and satisfy the cat within 7 days.
[2. Teams of 7: Cats need the warmth of a family; show your family members' love and kindness to the cat.]
3. The cat and human were placed in a box.
4. Do not open the box before the designated time, as this will kill the cat and the person.
[5. To be supplemented (updated daily)]
6. The human-cat will grant any wish you have.
7. Please do not leave the room late at night.
Everyone saw the instructions written on the whiteboard.
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me," said the man with the mustache.
“Show it affection and friendliness…” Sun Zhao looked at the mustache, “What do you need us to do?”
The man with the mustache looked Sun Zhao up and down. "Have you ever owned a pet?"
“No,” Sun Zhao said.
"For both humans and cats, the companionship of their adopters is more important than anything else." The man with the mustache made a hugging gesture. "You need to make the cat feel that you love it."
"This is a fantastical creature..."
So, love it.
The man with the mustache then looked at the others, "Anything else you want to ask?"
"When will Article 5 be updated?" Yan Xun asked.
"We'll update the fifth post every day at midnight," the man with the mustache said with a smile. "You can check it anytime."
Yan Xun looked at the handwriting on the whiteboard, penned with marker, and asked, "May I touch it?"
"Of course." The man with the mustache gestured for him to proceed.
Yan Xun walked over and touched the characters on it—they could all be easily erased.
Lou Yanchuan and the others also noticed his actions, and their expressions immediately became subtle.
Yan Xun turned to look at the mustache, "These characters seem to be erasable and editable..."
"If someone deliberately modified the fifth point...?"
The man with the mustache still smiled and said, "That's a pity."
"Because you didn't see the correct prompt."
Yan Xun looked at him, "Has the content been modified?"
Are these precautions absolutely true and accurate?
“Today’s content is absolutely true.” The man with the mustache seemed to understand Yan Xun’s concerns. “You can rest assured.”
He looked at the group of players again, "From now on, only you and the human-cat will live on this floor."
"You should be wary of each other."
The Angel Guild members remained indifferent.
Yan Xun and the others exchanged glances and decided that someone had to be there every day at midnight to check the fifth update on the whiteboard.
This contradicts the content of Article 7, so caution is advised.
"Any more questions?" the man with the mustache asked again.
Lou Yanchuan spoke up, "No." He looked at his mustache, "Please take us to see the human-cat."
……
The man with the mustache led them to an empty room.
There were two cardboard boxes in the room, each about the size of a 22-inch suitcase.
“The human and cat are right here.” The man with the mustache pointed to the two cardboard boxes. “You can now take your human and cat home.”
The angel guild member, a white-haired man, went and moved the boxes.
Yan Xun had Li Wu move the boxes away... Yan Xun noticed that Li Wu's expression was a little strange when he came back with the boxes, as if he wanted to say something to them.
Seeing that they had all led the human and cat away, the man with the mustache glanced at his pocket watch.
"Okay, I'm in a hurry."
See you in 7 days.
He waved his hand, "You can enjoy your time with the human and cat to your heart's content."
“The human-cat will grant you any wish,” the man with the mustache told them.
"Is there a limit to the number of times?" Yan Xun asked.
The man with the mustache looked Yan Xun up and down. "Of course, darling."
“But these human-cats will tell you,” he said with a smile to everyone, “Remember, newly born human-cats will grant any wish you have unconditionally.”
"Only newborn human-cats are allowed."
"You mean, if we want to make a second wish, we have to ask the human-cat for a deal?" Sun Zhao asked.
"That's right." The man with the mustache nodded.
He waved and left right in front of everyone.
As soon as the man with the mustache left, Lou Yanchuan looked at White from the Angel Guild across the street and said, "I think we shouldn't be competitors."
How about we don't bother each other?
White's red eyes lingered on Lou Yanchuan for a moment. "What do you want to say?"
“Using the living room as a boundary, each person uses their own side,” Lou Yanchuan said. “We won’t disturb each other, and we’ll only adopt our own cats.”
"He just said that in 7 days, we will all get our own human-cat."
"I think the best option is for us not to bother each other. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, White unconsciously rubbed the book in his hand.
The wings, which had been plucked from a member and refined, flapped painfully once, then Huai Te nodded, "Okay."
He then looked at Yan Xun and said, "Your loving father likes you very much."
Would you like to join the Angel Guild?
"The loving Father will protect your soul from evil spirits."
Yan Xun: "..."
No? I think the greatest evil spirit is your loving father, isn't it?
"No, I don't plan to change jobs for the time being," Yan Xun said.
Huai nodded, then led the Angel Guild members away from the adopter cat's room.
After they left, Li Wu spoke up, "Let's find a room to talk too."
……
After finding a room that resembled a reception room, Li Wu finally put down the box he was carrying.
He pulled a prop out of his pocket, and soon a huge bubble enveloped them.
“This is a device to prevent eavesdropping,” Li Wu explained.
Yan Xun looked at Li Wu, "Is there something wrong with the box?" He noticed a subtle pause in Li Wu's voice when he picked up the box.
"You'll know once you come over and give them a hug."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xun immediately walked over, bent down, and prepared to pick up the cardboard box that was placed on the ground.
But as soon as he touched the cardboard box, he wanted to throw it away—the cardboard box didn't feel like corrugated cardboard at all; instead, it felt like the skin of some kind of animal that had been shaved clean.
What's even more unsettling is that this thing is also warm.
Yan Xun, holding the box, looked at his teammates who were waiting for him to speak.
"The box is empty."
Putting aside the unpleasant feel, the entire cardboard box was so light it felt like it contained nothing.
