The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 188: Little Gangster

"Hey, you guys? What's going on? Why aren't you wearing church attire?!"

A figure slowly approached from a distance, looking quite arrogant and domineering, shouting loudly at Lin Xiyue and the others.

Although this person was wearing a black robe, he did not have any sense of solemnity or dignity; on the contrary, he seemed extremely out of place.

He dragged a pair of worn-out slippers on his feet, each step making a "pat-pat" sound, as if the whole world had to obey the command of the slippers' sound.

Then look at his free hand; his little finger is casually sticking into his ear, picking at it incessantly, completely disregarding the gazes and feelings of those around him.

And so, he swaggered over here, looking exactly like a street thug, which made people feel disgusted.

He first looked around, and after seeing something, he began to scrutinize Lin Xiyue and the other two.

"Hey, you three have a cat with you?!"

The man looked at Lin Xiyue with lust in his eyes, and then noticed the black cat on her shoulder that looked like an ornament—it was Moros, who had always followed Lin Xiyue.

No one noticed that the black cat on Lin Xiyue's body was alive, because it remained motionless on Lin Xiyue's shoulder, just like a cute decoration.

Only when the person in front of him looked at Lin Xiyue with lewd eyes did he open his eyes and look at him coldly.

"?!!"

"Oh! This cat is quite fierce! Let me tell you, be grateful to my Lord, my Lord does not use animal sacrifices, otherwise this cat would definitely have been caught, skinned, and had its tendons pulled out."

The scoundrel was startled by Meros and took a step back before speaking to Lin Xiyue as if trying to save face. However, the lewdness in his eyes had faded somewhat, and his gaze had even become clearer.

"Meow~"

Meros saw this and suddenly called out softly to the person.

"!!!"

In that instant, the man's body trembled violently as if struck by a powerful electric current!

Then, a shocking scene unfolded—a layer of sticky, greenish, disgusting liquid suddenly appeared on his body.

These liquids, as if alive, flowed slowly and seeped from his skin. As time passed, more and more green slime gushed from his body, eventually dripping mostly onto the ground.

At the same time, his previously confused eyes gradually became clear and bright, as if the clouds had parted and he had seen the brilliant sunlight.

At this moment, his gaze was no longer filled with lust, but with reason, as if he had regained his clear consciousness.

"!you!"

Once the person's vision cleared, their movements became less offensive.

He first instinctively tried to pull his black robe tighter, then, as if remembering something, he put it down and casually draped it over his body.

"Go to the restroom area at four o'clock tonight."

He leaned closer to Lin Xiyue and the other two, and whispered something.

"You guys are new here, aren't you! I knew it. Here, take your black robes over there, the toilets are this way. Listen to me, the sacrificial ceremony is tomorrow, you're lucky you don't have to wait long. Oh, by the way, meals will be delivered to your door, just find an empty room and go find yourselves!"

After quickly finishing his sentence, he straightened up, resumed his nonchalant demeanor, and continued speaking.

As he spoke, he clearly indicated the location of the toilet, then walked away looking uninterested.

Seeing his condition, Lin Xiyue and the other two decided to find a room to stay in first, and then go back at four in the morning to see what he had to say.

His change was quite obvious; he definitely knew something and seemed to want to tell them.

The group chose a house that was roughly in the middle, walked in, and went inside.

The houses here are all temporary housing provided by the government to resettle refugees, but they are equipped with all the basic necessities. The house they chose even has four rooms and a large living room.

After Lingyan and Earl inspected the entire house together and found no surveillance cameras or anything like that, they sat down on the sofa.

"I mean, are we just going to wait until four in the morning to meet that thug? Speaking of which, isn't it time for food? I haven't eaten this afternoon! I'm starving. Ever since I ate human food, I never want to eat alien nutritional supplements again."

Earl slumped onto the sofa, spread-eagled, staring blankly at the ceiling as he spoke.

"Um, I guess so. Otherwise, we wouldn't have any other options."

Lingyan also slumped onto the sofa in the same manner.

As two men in their prime, they were already dizzy from hunger after not eating all afternoon.

"Don't you keep any food in your space?"

Lin Xiyue was a little curious when she saw this, but she still dutifully took out the food from her space and put it on the coffee table.

"!!!Food!!!"

"It's food!!!"

"Mmm, mmm—it's so delicious! (chewing) You actually put food in my space! (chewing)"

"Wow! It tastes like it was just cooked! (chewing) What level of space are you using?! (chewing)"

The moment they smelled the aroma of the food, Lingyan and Earl seemed to be instantly energized, leaping up from the sofa and grabbing chopsticks to quickly devour the food Lin Xiyue had brought out. They chatted as they ate, seemingly unconcerned about choking.

"Um... I don't know either, it was given to me by Meros..."

Upon hearing this question, Lin Xiyue subconsciously looked at Moros.

"Meow--"

"It's for me, don't worry, it'll definitely be enough for you."

When Meros saw Lin Xiyue looking at him, he nuzzled her cheek, called out, and said...

“Hmm? (? ???w??? ?)?”

"Okay, so, are you going to eat?"

Lin Xiyue was suddenly nuzzled affectionately by him, making her a little flustered. She then began taking out more food from her spatial storage and asking Moros for details.

"Hehe. Okay."

Moros smiled as he looked at the blush on Lin Xiyue's cheeks and jumped onto the sofa.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed back into human form and sat down next to Lin Xiyue.

"You! Here you go!"

Lin Xiyue watched as the originally small and cute cat transformed back into human form before her eyes, and got so close to her. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she shoved all the vegetables in her hand into Molos's hands.

“yoyoyo~~~”
