Chapter 84: Cat and Sheep
Nemo’s first reaction was to erect a shield. As soon as his thoughts moved, the translucent black shadow instantly covered the two of them.
It wasn’t dark enough outside that they couldn’t see their fingers if they reach out. The contours of the things in the dark were still clearly discernable. They wouldn’t miss a human-size figure, unless…
A round orange cat was trying to drill out from the gap of the garden fence. However, it was too fat and just stuck halfway through.
“Help me.” It repeated unskillfully in that terrible voice. “Help me.”
“…” Nemo was silent for a while before he removed the shadow shield. He pinched his arm a few times blankly, to make sure this wasn’t a ridiculous dream. “Ollie, did you hear that? I may be hallucinating again.”
“I heard it.” Oliver walked forward speechlessly and laboriously pulled the cat out, almost knocking down the fence with it. “This should be Ms. Nadine’s cat. It just…” He suspiciously raised the cat in the air and looked up at the cat’s round face. “Did it just speak?”
“Put me down.” The orange cat quickly proved its language skills.
Oliver shivered blankly, and instinctively let go of his hand. The cat slammed into the ground with all four of its feet, completely lacking the elegance unique to a cat. It calmly adjusted its posture and began to lick one of its front paws.
“Why did you say there’s still time?” Nemo thought he must be crazy as he asked… He was talking to a cat.
