Chapter 139 Leading the way, something is wrong
"Pipa Ghost, I always see you on rainy days."

Is this also an adventure on a rainy day?

It seemed that the downpour also had a strange color to it.

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost's face has returned to normal, with the corners of his mouth slightly pursed and raised upwards, smiling shyly and happily.

The monster holding the pipa stood barefoot, with a thin layer of water vapor covering his whole body, blurring his figure, but his eyes, which were no different from those of humans, were shining with a clear light, untainted by dust.

What a monster that is easy to like.

Xiao Xiao laughed, "Pipa Ghost, play a song."

There was a light in the Pipa Ghost's eyes. He was about to nod, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and said, "Hehe~". His expression suddenly showed a bit of anxiety.

Xiao Xiao:?
The Pipa Ghost turned around and was about to leave, then turned back to signal Xiao Xiao to follow.

"You want me to come with you?"

The Pipa Ghost nodded, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face, which had never known sorrow.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao didn't ask any more questions.

After several encounters, several performances and listenings, Xiao Xiao was willing to go on this journey with the Pipa Ghost.

"Let's go."

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost laughed again.

……

Under the dim sky, it was raining heavily and the air was filled with water vapor.

The sharp and piercing honking of cars speeding by penetrated the heavy rain curtain and reached the distant other side.

Umbrellas of various colors shuttle between the tall buildings.

Xiao Xiao is no different from most people who are in a hurry.

The Pipa Ghost walks among the endless stream of people.

He walked hurriedly, but didn't bump into anyone's shoulder.

Xiao Xiao followed closely behind.

However, compared to the Pipa Ghost's lightness, Xiao Xiao, who was holding an umbrella, encountered more obstacles in his movements.

If you are not careful, the two umbrellas will collide.

……

The Pipa Ghost walked through the streets and alleys, and his snow-white shirt seemed to glow in the rain.

As we walked along, the buildings became older and older, there were fewer and fewer people, the noisy sounds gradually became inaudible, and only the sound of the rain became clearer and clearer.

The Pipa Ghost finally stopped at the entrance of a narrow alley.

"Have a drink~"

"is it here?"

Xiao Xiao walked up to the Pipa Ghost and stood beside him.

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost walked inside.

……

As they went deeper into the alley, Xiao Xiao gradually frowned.

There seems to be... a smell of blood?

Even though the heavy rain almost washed away and covered up most of the smell, Xiao Xiao could still smell a few faint traces of blood.

Mixed with the stench of decay and the slightly sweet smell of blood, it was even more nauseating.

The Pipa Ghost stopped, pursed his lips, and his pupils suddenly contracted. His sharp and dangerous vertical pupils showed for the first time the hideousness and grimness of a monster.

However, Xiao Xiao saw a hint of sadness in it.

Perhaps the Pipa Ghost himself does not know that the uncomfortable feeling in his heart at this moment is called sadness.

……

Xiao Xiao looked forward.

There were cat carcasses lying all over the ground.

After a rough count, there were actually seventeen or eighteen of them.

They are all skinny old cats.

In the dead silent alley, under the dim light, this scene was quite scary and weird.

Occasionally, car lights coming from afar illuminated this hell for a moment.

The old cat's pale green and turbid pupils bulged out, filled with endless fear and misery.

In a trance, Xiao Xiao seemed to hear the desperate and helpless screams of these old cats before they died.

Xiao Xiao inexplicably had a feeling that these old cats died in pain.

There is no demonic aura, which means it was done by humans.

Could this be a scene of cat abuse? Xiao Xiao had seen reports of cat abuse in the news, but how could the pictures and texts be as shocking as the real situation at this moment?

Sympathy and anger, intense emotions intertwined together, Xiao Xiao's face turned cold.

He didn't understand where the pleasure was in torturing and killing weak and innocent cats.

And how pathetic are those who can get pleasure from it.

"Pipa Ghost, I will find the murderer."

"Have a drink~"

……

"Are you sad?"

"Drink?"

The Pipa Ghost looked a little confused, but his eyes clearly revealed a bit of depression and grief.

The monster holding the pipa was a little at a loss, but also a little dazed.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything else.

It is said that cats are psychic. These cats should be friends of the Pipa Ghost, right?

That's why after discovering that these friends had died in vain, the Pipa Ghost was so angry and sad that he sought help from him.

……

Xiao Xiao squatted down, hoping to find some clues about the cat abuser from the cats' bodies.

"Feifei~Feifei~" Feifei jumped off Xiao Xiao's shoulder, moved closer to the cat and sniffed it. His face, which always acted obedient and cool, became a little serious.

"What's wrong, Feifei?" Seeing this, Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.

“Is there something wrong with these cat carcasses?”

"Ouch~" There was a hint of disgust in the Taotie's cry.

It was the first time that Xiao Xiao heard a hint of disgust in Taotie's cry. This foodie basically looked drooling at everything he saw. In his eyes, there were different types of food: edibles and inedibles. Of course, now because of Xiao Xiao's restrictions, there was one more category - food that was forbidden to be eaten.

Seeing Feifei and Taotie's unusual reactions, Xiao Xiao's expression became more serious.

Is this not just a simple case of cat abuse?

……

Xiao Xiao gently touched the cat's body. It was stiff and hard, and it must have been dead for some time.

What was the cause of death?
Xiao Xiao saw the wound on the cat's chest. It had already scabbed over, but the blood was dark red and coagulated.

Ok?
Were these cats poisoned?
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and rubbed the coagulated blood clot hard, leaving faint black and red marks on his fingertips.

There seems to be a strange feeling.

Xiao Xiao raised his fingertips and leaned forward to smell it. In addition to the faint smell of blood, there was also a... fishy smell.

It was not the rotten, fishy smell of a corpse, but a more dizzying smell.

There was a kind of malice and evil emanating from it.

The blood had dried up, and the smell of blood had almost dissipated due to the passage of time and heavy rain, but Xiao Xiao still felt the ominous feeling so clearly.

what is this?
Xiao Xiao checked the bodies of each cat.

The only wound, and the fatal one, was on the chest.

The wound was surrounded by black and red scabs and blood clots.

There was also a malicious and ominous aura emanating from around the wound.

All exactly the same.

Xiao Xiao slowly stood up, looked around at the cat corpses scattered on the ground, and realized that things were not that simple.

……

"Pipa Ghost, have you noticed anything wrong with these corpses?"

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost looked confused.

Xiao Xiao:.
He thought that he shouldn't ask too much of this silly and cute monster.

……

"Ow~"

Xiao Xiao guaranteed that he heard ridicule and disdain in the cry of a certain Taotie.

However, the Pipa Ghost just tilted his head slightly, looking a little confused.

Xiao Xiao smiled at it soothingly.

The Pipa Ghost subconsciously responded with a shy smile.

……

"Phiphi, can you find anything with this smell?"

"Feifei~" Feifei started sniffing everywhere.
