Chapter 142: Blocking and Questioning

Xiao Xiao frowned and pushed the door tentatively, but it was not locked? !

Was it carelessness? Or was there something else going on?

Xiao Xiao walked into the room.

Although the room is not big, it looks a bit empty because there are not many pieces of furniture.

Because of the curtains, the light in the living room was dim, and a few clothes were scattered on the floor.

Xiao Xiao covered his nose. The smell in the room was not pleasant.

The smell of rotting and moldy food, the sour and smelly smell of garbage due to poor air circulation, and the same disgusting and ominous smell that was on the cat's wounds and on the young man's body, all these indescribable smells mixed together, it was really unbearable.

Xiao Xiao walked quickly to the window, without opening the curtains, but just opened the window behind him.

The breeze blew across his cheeks, and the fresh air made Xiao Xiao feel much more comfortable.

Xiao Xiao turned around and his eyes fell on the only closed door.

"Meow~meow~"

"Meow~"

A shrill cat cry suddenly came from behind the door, which startled Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

Without bothering to look at the layout of the room, Xiao Xiao saw the cat struggling and screaming.

In the dim room, the young man had a crazy look on his face. His overly excited expression made his face distorted beyond recognition, almost hideous.

He didn't care about Xiao Xiao who suddenly broke in. He muttered something to himself and pinched the cat's neck with one hand, completely ignoring the cat's claws scratching his hand wildly. In the other hand, he held a dagger, which had already pierced into the cat's heart. Large streams of blood gushed out, and the originally bright red color was rapidly turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The strange, vague, ghost-like sound mixed with the old cat's wailing and screaming was eerie and creepy.

It was like a cult ritual.

"stop!"

Xiao Xiao grabbed the young man's shoulders, tightened his fingers, and tried to pull him away from the cat.

Unexpectedly, the man seemed to be trapped in some kind of demonic barrier. His strength was so great that he didn't even bother to look at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao exerted force, but even if the young man was strong, how could he be stronger than Xiao Xiao, whose physique had changed and whose body had been tempered with spiritual power?

The young man was forcibly dragged away from the cat by Xiao Xiao.

But strange and vague syllables kept coming out of the young man's mouth. The man's expression seemed happy and crazy, his eyes were surprisingly bright, but without any focus.

Xiao Xiao couldn't care less about the young man's obviously abnormal condition for the time being.

He moved closer to the cat, feeling a little helpless for a moment.

This was originally a white cat.

His skinny figure clearly showed that he was quite old.

Blood was still oozing out of the wound, which made people wonder how such a small cat could bleed so much?
The bright red blood turned into black blood within a few breaths after it flowed out.

A white cat was almost dyed into a black cat.

The white cat was still moaning and screaming, but it was already on its last legs.

In fact, it is unusual for a cat to survive for so long with a dagger stuck in its heart, struggling and screaming all the time.

Is this how it has to be?
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but have some guesses.

Just to let this cat bleed to death in endless pain?

Is this the only way to achieve the goal?

Are those cat corpses that were discarded before the losers?
Maybe they didn't make it to the end, so the ritual failed?

Xiao Xiao's mind was racing, with a lot of thoughts in his head.

The only way to stop this ritual is...

Xiao Xiao pursed his lips tightly, but his hand had already grasped the handle of the dagger that was inserted into the cat's heart. With a force, he pulled out the dagger.

For a moment, blood gushed out.

So much blood has already been shed.
"Meow~"

The white cat let out a shrill and sharp scream, which was almost the same as before, but Xiao Xiao saw a hint of gratitude in the white cat's eyes.

Then, the white cat slowly closed its eyes and died silently. Xiao Xiao threw the dagger aside fiercely.

"Ding~" This is the sound of the dagger hitting the wall.

He knew that if he pulled out the dagger, the white cat would surely die.

However, if the cat is not pulled out, it will surely die. No, its fate will be worse than death.

Xiao Xiao absolutely did not believe that the white cat would have any good ending if it survived such a cruel and evil ritual.

However, even though he knew that what he did was the best choice, Xiao Xiao still felt a little sad when he looked at the lifeless and disheveled white cat, and thought of the relief and gratitude in the white cat's eyes at the end.

……

Xiao Xiao's movements were too fast and the man had no time to stop him.

The man who pounced on the cat watched the last bit of life of the white cat disappear. He was stunned and stopped chanting.

dead, dead? !
It’s obvious that this white cat has a chance to survive to the end!

"Asshole, asshole!"

"Ah~ bastard!"

"what are you doing?"

“I almost made it!”

After failing so many times, I finally saw the light of hope, but unexpectedly, unexpectedly...

Unforgivable, unforgivable!
The man pounced on Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao raised his leg and kicked, "crackling~bang~" the man bumped into the desk behind him, things fell to the ground, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

"Woo~"

The man groaned, unable to move for a moment due to the pain, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

Xiao Xiao didn't show much mercy when he kicked me just now.

Retracting his foot, Xiao Xiao looked around the bedroom.

The posters on the wall, the books on the bookshelf, and various ornaments are all things related to the supernatural.

The young man was obviously a serious psychic enthusiast.

However, he has become a little obsessed and has lost his mind.

They are capable of doing such a cruel and insane thing!

As soon as Xiao Xiao saw this bedroom and the strange magic circle under the cat corpse that he just noticed, he understood what was going on.

Thinking of what the man had just muttered, Xiao Xiao felt angry, helpless and amused at the same time.

Just to verify what the book said?
So many cats were brutally killed?!

……

Xiao Xiao walked to the young man lying on the ground and squatted down.

The man tilted his head to look at Xiao Xiao. His thin cheeks, untidy beard, and overlong hair somewhat blocked the man's eyes, but Xiao Xiao could clearly see the resentment and viciousness in the man's bloodshot eyes.

"who are you?"

The man's voice was dry and hoarse, and he even sounded a little hoarse.

"Why are you in my house?"

The man didn't realize until now that Xiao Xiao was just an uninvited guest who broke into a private house without permission!
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to lock the door, and a strong feeling of regret arose.

If he had locked the door, this mysterious person would not have appeared, and then perhaps his ritual would have been successful.

This thought gnawed at his heart like a thorn in his flesh.

This made his eyes stare at Xiao Xiao with even more resentment.

Xiao Xiao did not answer his question.

“Why are these cats being killed?”

Although he already had some guesses, Xiao Xiao still wanted to hear what the person in front of him had to say.
