Nighttime Shadow 803

t him, though a smile tugged at the corner of my lips.To keep Shen Qingrui here as the head wife I reckon she'd rather die than stay."What's wrong with that She's been so stubborn, always thinking she..."Junior Sister, this cat seems a bit off. What is that smell..." said Ninth Senior Brother.

My aftereffects from the fever haven't completely disappeared, my nose is a bit stuffy, and I'm not very sensitive to smells.

Nine Brother leaned in and sniffed the little cat, then frowned. “There’s a strange smell of medicine.”

This is a little black cat.

Black cats are considered to be more spiritual animals in both the monastic and secular worlds. Black cats and dogs are different from their counterparts.

There's a nagging feeling of unease in my heart. This might be more than just a scam.

I am being watched.

It can't be Mu Wanchen who wants to kill me to silence me, right It can't be him...

He had plenty of chances to kill me, he could have just crushed my throat. He didn't need any fancy tactics.

And he personally sent me out, and even instructed me to take good care of the female Gu. There's no reason for him to want to kill me.

Who could it be that's been following me all this time

And that driver failed to kill me, and was immediately silenced. In the face of a major disaster, what is most taboo is the emergence of such supernatural events and rumors that cause panic and unrest among the people.

Even if relevant government departments found the crashed vehicle and the driver's remains, they would most likely suppress the incident.

But at that time, there were other people in the car, all of them inexplicably got off. In the end, I was the only one left... This made me feel like someone was watching me from behind the scenes no matter how I thought about it.

The parking lot was deserted, an inexplicable chill hung in the air.

I'm a little scared, the atmosphere is not good.

Those who come are not friendly.

"Senior brother... let's go, we can talk about it when we get back." I urged.

"What about this cat Leaving it here for those who don't understand to throw it around could cause an epidemic." Ninth Senior Brother said worriedly.

"Grab a garbage bag, put it on, and put it in the trunk. Leave an air vent. Hurry home."

My heart pounded, and I looked nervously at the silent parking lot.

Nineth Brother, get it done as I said. We'll drive quickly to the suburban house.

Even before I reached my destination, I couldn't contain my fear. I sent a message to my senior brother, saying that something felt wrong. Someone had placed a sickly black kitten under our car.

The senior brother immediately replied with two words.

It's burned.

I widened my eyes. Shixiong Jun was always so concise and unlike his public persona!

Just as I was hesitating whether to stop and burn it, my senior brother said something else.

"Come back and burn it again."

That's right, at least let the big brother see what's going on.

After we returned home, we went straight to Senior Brother Jun's courtyard. He was the eldest brother and had his own main house and east and west wing rooms. The other brothers and sisters each had their own room.

My brother-in-law is waiting for us. He saw the black cat and immediately cut its leg lightly with a small blade.

The wound immediately oozed black pus.

"It was poisoned by someone and placed under your car. This cat hasn't died yet. If you foolishly take pity on it and bring it back to raise, one day if you get scratched by it, the poison will infect you." Jun Shidi frowned deeply.

"Who would do you harm, is it directed at you or our family" he sighed.

"I don't know either, I was just in the parking lot and suddenly felt like something dangerous was watching me. My skin crawled." I was so bummed out.

Could you give Mu Wanchen a call and ask him Does he have a phone number!

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags intact:

Even if I ran back to ask him, it wouldn't help. His magic can even change the terrain, so how would I know where to find him

Heterodoxy, that's what our family calls it.

Unlike conventional poisons, which all fall under this broad category, some poisons are imbued with arcane spells and cannot be countered by ordinary means of antidotes.

Taoist talismans, spells, and divination using mediums.

There are countless secrets and techniques in the vast world that we have never heard of. We have always been respectful and cautious towards them, never daring to overstep our bounds.

"This cat can't be kept, it's already been battered and is on the brink of death. If its body is corrupted by toxins after death and spreads, it will cause trouble. Send it to the animal crematorium." said Senior Brother Jun.

"But...he's still alive...Wouldn't that be a bit inhumane" I looked at him, conflicted.

The senior brother shook his head silently: "I know you can't bring yourself to do it, let your younger brother handle it. You don't even know who you've provoked, we're caught off guard and must be vigilant."

I... I can't refute that.

My senior brother glared at me and said, "I'll let you stay for one night to show your kindness. You go heat up some milk, and I'll add some powdered medicine to it. See if it eats it or not. If it can eat it, there's still some hope. If it can't, we'll send it to be burned first thing tomorrow morning."

Okay, okay, I nodded.

This little kitten is barely clinging to life, there's no way it can eat on its own.

I found a tube and a syringe, and I injected the milk with the powder into its mouth, but most of it flowed out along its mouth.

My sister sighed helplessly: "Xiao Luo, you are so stubborn. I think this cat was sent by someone to harm you, and you still want to save it..."

"If it was this cat that hurt me, I wouldn't feel sorry for killing it, but this cat is innocent too. It's being used by someone with ill intentions to harm others, and it's suffering too." I tried my best to pour the milk into its mouth.

My sister, wearing disposable gloves, bandaged the small wound on the kitten's hind leg. She said softly, "As my master said, keeping this cat is troublesome. What if it causes a disease If there's an epidemic, even if we save it, it will be disposed of..."

I'm not entirely altruistic, you know. I want to find out who's plotting against me from behind the scenes. Maybe keeping this cat will lure them out

Having dealt with this cat, perhaps we are safe for now, but the other party will certainly have other methods.

My sister shook her head after hearing my explanation. "You're too bold! You know it's dangerous and you still dare to stay around... Tonight, don't leave the cat on the attic! It has to be outside!"

"Where should we put it" I asked, looking up.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment: “I’ll go find a big cardboard box, line it with some old clothes, and put the kitten in the gazebo”

"Okay."

I nodded and took the curtain tie from my room, tying it around the kitten's paws.

This little black cat is completely immobile right now, it doesn't look threatening at all, how could you bear to burn it

After all the commotion, my sister and I returned to our respective rooms. I went up to the attic and pushed open a sliver of the window, watching the boxes in the gazebo. For a long time, there was no movement at all.

It seems like there's no saving him...

I lay back on the bed, feeling down and troubled. My mind kept replaying who could have possibly targeted me, my thoughts a tangled mess. I tossed and turned, unable to get any restful sleep.

Until late at night, I suddenly felt a sharp pang in my heart and woke up inexplicably.

A wave of heat swept through my body, accompanied by a strange and indescribable feeling.

What's going on... I rubbed my temples and got out of bed to get some water.

Holding a cup of water, I pushed open the window and looked towards the gazebo.

A black figure appeared there.here. I have no time for you now."He finished speaking and walked to where Quan Heng was, one hand gripping his sword, the other forming a seal.The longsword glimmered, his powerful fingers moving rap...
