Mystic Dominator

A cat talking?

Is this little guy negotiating with himself?

Ronald blinked his own gray eyes with different colors from Patricia's, and was stunned for a few seconds before he realized it.

—It was perfectly reasonable.

In those imaginative picture book worlds, not to mention a cat or a dog, even a stone or a river can be anthropomorphic and communicate with humans on a logical level.

Ronald turned his head and took a last look. The hotel man who was still repeating his line "I'm at work" turned around and squatted down in front of the black kitten who had just spoken:

"Little guy, I think we can reach a cooperation."

"Smart humans like you are rare, come with me!"

After the simple negotiation was over, the black kitten lay down on the ground and stretched, and then squatted on Ronald's shoulder with a light leap.

At this time, it scratched Ronald's hair with its furry paw, making it as comfortable as possible, and pointed out the other paw directly to the side:

"Detective, look this way."

"Follow this road to the east, take a few turns and we will see the pancake shop."

"Okay." Ronald nodded slightly.

He waved to Patricia behind him, and the two of them walked east along the street like this.

...

Soon, the first obstacle appeared in front of two people and one cat.

A group of cartoon-style passers-by surrounded the middle of the road, directly blocking the road ahead.

"What are they doing here?"

Ronald stepped forward to check with doubts.

In the center surrounded by these Springs citizens was a clearing, where a lion with pure white hair was nesting, still muttering words:

"What a ghost!"

"At your human's celebration, why do you let me be an animal to perform for the human queen? I want to perform for the lioness in the zoo! Strike! I want to strike! I want to rest! Even if you give me a few more pieces of meat eat,

I won't work either, it's so unreasonable! "

"..."

Ronald watched the scene silently, and then pushed the ordinary citizens who were watching the lion strike in front of him.

—was motionless.

Ronald had already exerted great force, but the other party didn't move even a centimeter, and there wasn't even a movement to look back at Ronald.

This situation is like the announcement when the complete technique is unfolded.

The city has now become a maze, and these blocked roads are like dead ends in the maze, and it is impossible to go directly through it except to go around and choose other directions to find the road.

"Ronald, what's going on?"

At this time, Patricia followed from behind.

Looking at the scene on the familiar street in front of her, the girl's eyes were obviously a little confused. In Patricia's life, neither the education she received as a nobleman nor the education she received as a swordsman gave her a guiding ideology to deal with this situation.

Ronald immediately explained:

"Now we are probably in a maze, like this kind of blocked road, we can only find a way to go around."

Hearing Ronald's explanation, Patricia pointed to the wall on the other side with some doubts:

"Go around...you mean there?"

Ronald looked in the direction Patricia pointed.

It was a ladder on the edge of the wall, leading directly to the roof of the row apartment here.

——In the maze picture book.

- This is a very common correct path!

"That's it, let's go!"

Ronald's expression shook.

This is actually just right.

Just now, he was leading the way led by the kitten on his shoulder with all his heart; while Patricia just followed along, and naturally had time to observe the surrounding situation, thus discovering this path in advance.

The two of them and the cat immediately followed the ladder to the roof.

The terrain here is also very distinctive.

The irregular buildings are connected by wooden boards like single-plank bridges. The end of the eaves or the roof is the dead end of this maze, and the entire area covers more than half of the residential area.

Ronald tried to jump directly from the roof to the ground here.

But even if this kind of movement is made, he will still be bounced back to his original position by an invisible air wall.

It's the same as looking at those paper mazes when I was a child.

Here you can only act in the specified position.

— But there is a way to go.

In the past, the East was advancing to break through the core of the maze. Ronald took Patricia to wander back and forth on the roof of the maze. It took more than seven or eight minutes before returning to the ground from a tree staircase around the chimney.

Pat——

At this time, the black kitten on Ronald's shoulder jumped off by itself, and went into a shop without looking back.

Look in the direction the kitten left.

This is their destination - Parso pancake shop.

In the world of picture books, there is no need to consider the problem of queuing. Ronald made a few turns in a long queue and successfully entered the pancake shop.

Immediately, a scream came into his ears:

"Oh, help!"

"I don't want to be eaten by this cat!"

Ronald turned his head and saw that a pancake with a cartoon face was being held in the mouth by the black kitten just now with tears streaming down his face, and then dragged on the ground towards the corner of the counter.

Although this pancake cries for help very loudly.

However, neither the customers in the store, the clerk, nor the black kitten who wanted to enjoy it obviously had no intention of saving this guy from the sea of ​​suffering.

"..."

When Ronald was silent, the staff at the shop counter called out to Ronald:

"Mr. Detective, are you here to eat our pancakes!"

Ronald replied quite substitutingly:

"Actually, I'm investigating a case. The murderer should have bought pancakes from you today!"

"What a coincidence!" the owner of the pancake shop replied in a pompous tone, "When the store just opened this morning, a group of suspicious guys came to my place to buy pancakes!"

"While this group of people was queuing, I saw them holding boat tickets for the port area. If you go to the west of the city, you will be able to catch them!"

"..."

Ronald immediately understood, and he bypassed an easy-to-understand standard trap.

If he didn't follow the rules of the game, but went directly to the gate of the border forest area, then even if he was blocked on the way out of the city, he would definitely suffer a complete failure.

The only way to catch up with the fugitives is to continue to follow the prompts and cross the entire Springs to the port area.

Ronald nodded his thanks to the owner of the pancake shop.

Looking back, the black kitten from just now was still on the side of the counter of the pancake shop.

Then it seemed that Ronald was looking at it with peas.

This cute little guy stopped enjoying the pancakes, raised his paw and pointed outside:

"If you're going west."

"You can find my relative in the business district, he is very familiar with it."
