"Mortal, I'm just using the Permanency 'Comprehend Languages'. Cut the crap and tell me do you have more magical potions? If you do, bring them to me, and your sin of touching my holy body will be forgiven." said the black cat with its eyes staring at Fang Tang. It made a graceful turn in the air while being thrown away by Fang Tang, fell besides the sink easily and grabbed the empty milk box.
"Milk? Magical potions?" Fang Tang's first reaction is to check the where he is now by looking through the window. When he saw the same street, and his phone still had a signal, he was even more confused. He murmured: "So I'm still in this world."
While Fang Tang was checking whether he was in a different world, the black cat already run out of its patience. It jumped off the kitchen counter to open the refrigerator itself, grabbed another bottle of milk and started gurgling it down.
This time, Fang Tang really saw what's going on. When the black cat was guzzling the milk, dark smoke was coming out of its body. And when you stare at it, you will feel like you are being swollen up by some incredible darkness. All of a sudden, Fang Tang felt his anger toward those gangsters who destroyed his restaurant was overwhelming him, and he was full of violence and cruelness.
With the sound of "Pah", a bottle of cool milk hit Fang Tang on his face, and this cool milk bottle calmed him down. He caught the milk and stopped staring at the dark smoke. When he realized what had just happened, he was stepping back to stand against the wall.
"That's Abyss Force, don't stare at it because it can devour you through your eyes." the black cat said this clearly even when it was drinking milk.
"You shall drink that bottle of magical potion right now. It's amazing that there are magical potions in this world that can dissolve the Abyss Force." added the cat.
Even though Fang Tang was still in confusion and felt like he was bewitched, he immediately opened the milk bottle and gulping it once he heard it could help dissolve that force.
The kitchen was very quiet except the sound of Fang Tang and the cat drinking milk. That's a little bit weird.
The black cat turned into a black and white Tabby cat after finishing that bottle of milk. It licked the milk bottle unsatisfied and asked: "Do you have more?"
"Well, there are only three bottles, but I can buy some from supermarket." answered Fang Tang with his eyes looking at the floor because he was afraid of being possessed again.
"Are you a monster?" Fang Tang asked cautiously.
"Monster? What's that? My name is Shariel.
The kitchen was very quiet except the sound of Fang Tang and the cat drinking milk. That's a little bit weird.
There is no need to be shocked, because I don't belong to this Planes." said the Tabby cat with its front paws scratching its face "Due to some reasons, I will stay in this Planes … for a while."
"So, you're a refugee?" Fang Tang perceived the awkward expression of Shariel when it said this, and made a bold guess.
"What? Refugee? I'm a goddess roaming in the vast universe, alright? If I were a refugee, why should I choose these magic free Planes?!" she was irritated after hearing this with her tail sticking up.
But she still looked very cute even when she was unhappy, and this made Fang Tang feel close to her. When he realized this so-called Holy Cat is kind of easy to get along with, he can't help making fun of her.
"If you are not a refugee, why would a simple instant noodle attract you so much? You just behaved like you are a starving refugee." said Fang Tang.
"Is that food called instant noodle? I have never eaten such delicious food." said the cat with its tongue licking its whiskers.
"You just told me that there is a place to buy magical potions, right? Go buy some more for me." tabby cat thought of the most important thing at present.
"Well…do you have money?" asked Fang Tang.
"Nope!" the cat answered directly.
"No money? Don't you tell me that, as a goddess, you want to eat free meal." Fang Tang was getting more relaxed, and tried to haggle with her.
"Humph, shallow mankind, gold coin obsessed! I'll give you more when I'm able to go back to Stars Garden."
"So, my honorable cat goddess is going to owe money from a shallow mankind?" said Fang Tang with a gesture of his thumb rubbing on the index and middle finger.
Tabby cat jumped in front of Fang Tang and patted her paw on the back of his hand. Fang Tang was scared by her suddenly jump but didn't escape her paw.
Right after this, there is a golden ray shining on his hand, then it turned into a cat paw pattern and disappeared.
"You… this…,will I die from this?" asked Fang Tang with concerns. He didn't understand why the cat do this to him all of a sudden.
"Save your worries, you'll only be better. From now on, you will be the chosen people of me, Shariel, Mother of Cat and Goddess of Travel." answered the tabby cat with its head high proudly. It feels like she was saying that I will protect you from now on.
"What good will I have to be your chosen people." asked Fang Tang. He checked the back of his hand and patted himself from chest to legs, nothing seemed to change.
"Being my people, you'll have plenty of good. First, you may…oops, I forget that there are no magical elements in this world." tabby cat was in an awkward situation. Then it added:" It can give you the affinity to all kinds of cats at least, yes, this is what I can make in this world."
"Cat affinity? Who the hell want that?!" Fang Tang responded.
Even though he was told that he had obtained a fancy skill, which he had no idea real or not, he still took the money to buy milk for this cat. Before leaving home, he told this either monster, alien or holy god tabby cat to be sure he would stay at home.
Fang Tang still felt unreal about what happened tonight after he left the supermarket. How could the cat speak human language? Under the materialism education he has received, he prefers to take this cat is an alien creature.
He was in deep thought and didn't notice that there were people following him. When he crossed a corner, he was kicked by a man on his back and fell on the ground of a bridge arch.
He struggled to stand up and turn back. With the help of street lamp, he saw the bald man standing there, and his oily bald head was shining like a greasy bulb.
"Kid, I'd like to see where can you run to this time." said the bald man.
Such a bad luck, Fang Tang never expected to meet these bunch of bastards in such a short time.
"Tiger bro, tell me you want his left hand or right hand, I'll destroy it for you." asked a yellow hair hooligan, with a cigarette in his mouth and an iron staff in his hand.
"I don't give a fuck about left or right. Get both mutilated so that he can never cook." said the bald man.
There were about 10 people around Fang Tang, he knew that this time he won't be lucky enough to run away and hide. But he was not really unprepared and just waiting for fists. He stood against the wall to prevent himself from being beaten by both sides, and took out a small stun rod from his pocket. He pressed the button to turn it on, and it generated the electric arc with the crackling sound. The gangsters didn't dare to come closer to him, and both sides were at a stalemate.
The bald man didn't expect Fang Tang would take a stun rod with him, then he shouted at his henchmen: "Damn it! Don't piss on your pants because of this small stun rod. You guys go get him together, that stuff won't kill you."
Under his pressure, those hooligans were out of choice and slowly moved toward him.
Fang Tang was clearly aware of that he can't handle several people with a merely stun rod. He was just trying to use this helping him get a chance to ask for help or to run. But now, this plan almost failed.
People nearby had almost all moved out, he was not sure if anyone could hear him when he called for help. If someone heard him and called the police station, that will be ok too.
"Meow, meow…" Don't know why many wild cats are coming here, neither these gangsters nor Fang Tang really pay attention to that.
"Fuck it!" one of the gangsters was holding the iron staff beating on Fang Tang's head.
Fang Tang was still standing against the wall and tried to escape. Meanwhile, he held the stun rod stabbing the man that is close to him. Hearing the cracking sound, that man was stepping back nervously. Taking this chance, Fang Tang was running toward him and tried to find an opening to escape.
Right after he knocked off that man, another one came and tried to beat him with the iron staff. Before that staff fell on him, there was a black shadow flashed away. It's a wild cat, its two front paws were scratching on that gangster's face. With a piercing scream, that man threw away his staff and tried to catch the cat. It ended up with his hands were scratched and bitten, bleeding.
The other guys were shocked after seeing this. Seconds later, there are wild cats running toward them and scratching them as well. They waved their staff trying to expel those cats, but there were more coming at them. Just a few minutes later, each man was surrounded by 5 to 6 cats. The bald Tiger bro was surrounded by more cats, even his legs and arms were wrapped with cats. These cats are scratching and biting him fiercely.
His leg was bitten by one cat, and that made him fall on the ground. More cats took this chance to jump on him. "Someone…someone come here and help me expel these fucking cats away. Ouch…that's damn painful. Oh my god, stop biting me! I must kill you! Ouch…stop…help me…" screamed the bald man.
This bald man was rolling toward the river and jumped in. And the cats all jumped off him. The others see that as a useful way, all jumped in to the river after him. And one man was screaming right after he got into the river: "Help! I can't swim! Help me, please!"
Fang Tang was the only one that was not attacked by those cats. He was amazed by this sudden change and wondered wasn't him the one should ask for help. Why is this reversed?
