Chapter 22: This Cat is of High Quality

In this instant, Cheng Han entered an incredibly strange state.

He experienced an unimaginable journey.

He felt himself on all fours, running on top of a wall at an astonishing speed.

He also felt himself climbing up a big tree, with a flying bird flapping its wings and landing. He suddenly jumped up and bit the bird's neck.

He even stealthily crouched in the grass, and as soon as a burrowing rabbit emerged from its burrow, he decisively pounced and accurately caught the rabbit.

This feeling was so real, as if he had turned into a cat.

Cheng Han realized that this was actually the experience of the police chief, but during the deduction process of the All-Knowing Eye, he gained its memories.

After a moment, the strange feeling receded like a tide.

Cheng Han felt himself turning back into a human.

A message appeared at the right time: "Analysis successful! Proficiency +9, current proficiency is 102/1000, mental value is 2.2/14.6."

Cheng Han grinned excitedly.

His mental value limit increased by 0.1 again!

Cheng Han confidently observed the residual imprint and saw that the blue light cluster had grown larger, and the core filament structure was more complete.

He touched the residual imprint with his mind, and immediately received feedback: "Spiritual imprint, completeness 23.28%."

Compared to before, it had almost doubled.

"Meow~"

The black cat meowed.

In its eyes, there was a hint of confusion, as if it couldn't quite understand the situation.

Cheng Han gently stroked the cat's head and asked with a smile, "Police chief, did you also go through a special journey?"

The black cat flicked its tail.

This meant yes.

Just now, Cheng Han "transformed into a cat," which was the new ability of the spiritual imprint.

He experienced the feeling of "becoming a cat," and naturally, the black cat experienced the feeling of "becoming a human," which was equivalent to an identity swap.

Through this incident, the two seemed to have formed a strange connection.

Before this, although the police chief obeyed any command from Cheng Han due to the effect of the extraordinary power, they weren't particularly close emotionally.

Now, Cheng Han clearly felt that the black cat had become more attached to him.

This was undoubtedly a good thing.

Cheng Han returned to the main topic and said, "I'll tell you the address of Qian Zicheng's home."

He recalled the relevant information, activated the spiritual imprint, and extended a finger to gently tap the black cat's forehead.

In the sea of the mind, the blue light cluster instantly absorbed the flow of information, underwent a mysterious transformation, and finally projected it to the police chief.

In an instant, a series of images flashed through the black cat's mind, showing the scene of a house, the surrounding area, and how to get there.

Its big cat eyes widened instantly, resembling the stunned expression of a human.

Because all of this completely subverted its understanding of "cat life."

Cheng Han couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it amazing?"

A lot of details would take a long time to describe in words and would be difficult to express clearly, but conveying information through the imprint could be done instantly.

It had to be said that extraordinary powers were really convenient.

"Meow~"

Due to being too surprised, the black cat's voice underwent a slight distortion.

Cheng Han suggested, "You've worked hard catching rabbits all day today. Why don't you rest at home for a while and go there later?"

There were very few rabbits near Shanyi Lane, and the police chief probably ran a long way to catch a burrowing rabbit in the suburbs and brought it back with great effort.

The black cat was a decisive and action-oriented individual, immediately standing up and calling out, "Meow~"

Its meaning was: no need to rest, let's go now.

Cheng Han didn't force it, "Alright."

The black cat leaped lightly off the sofa and quickly walked to the door, using its front paws to touch the door.

Cheng Han opened the door and reminded, "Be careful and don't take any risks, understand?"

The black cat rubbed against his leg and then disappeared into the darkness.

Cheng Han closed the door and walked straight into the bedroom.

The deduction had consumed too much mental value, so he planned to take a nap and replenish his mental value.

*

The night was as dark as ink.

Shanyifang is a welfare community with relatively old public facilities and not many streetlights.

Under the cover of the night, the black cat seemed to transform into a dark ghost.

It ran all the way to the side of the fence and found a small hole, then crawled outside the fence and walked along the base of the wall for dozens of meters, entering a forest.

After passing through the forest, there was another residential area.

The black cat quickly climbed up the fence and skillfully walked on the eaves of the wall.

Its feet had built-in cushions, so every time its paws landed, there was no sound, and it didn't worry about alarming others.

Only the spiritual mastiff guarding the community sensed something different.

Because there were often stray cats in the vicinity, the mastiff would only chase them away when it saw them, and it wouldn't track them based on their scent alone.

Before long, the black cat passed through another residential area and heard some noise.

"Splash~"

The sound of water pouring came from a dark corner.

The black cat approached from the top of the wall, looked down, and saw a middle-aged man happily watering.

This person furrowed his brow slightly and muttered softly, "Ah, I can never seem to urinate properly lately. Looks like I need to buy some medicine."

The black cat sniffed the strange scent that wafted in the wind and wrinkled its nose in disgust.

It tilted its head and thought for a moment, then suddenly let out a loud cry.

"Meow!"

This sound was particularly sharp.

It suddenly rang out in the silence, giving a somewhat eerie feeling.

The middle-aged man was startled and trembled all over. He instinctively turned around and ran backward. He remembered various terrifying rumors and ran even faster on his two legs.

However, this person forgot that he was still watering.

Naturally.

The yellow liquid splashed everywhere, even staining his legs.

After running for a while, the middle-aged man looked down at his wet pants and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"

On the other side.

The black cat successfully pulled off a prank. It watched the gradually receding figure of the other person and proudly wagged its tail a few times.

Its owner had said to maintain hygiene and not urinate or defecate anywhere.

This person's manners were really low, not even comparable to this cat.

*

After more than half an hour.

The black cat finally stopped in its tracks.

It quietly hid in a bush and gazed at a two-story building in the distance.

That was the home of Qin Zicheng.

The black cat recalled its owner's teachings: "A qualified detective doesn't act hastily, but first familiarizes themselves with the surrounding environment. Only when ensuring their own safety can they begin cautious observation."

It felt that this statement made a lot of sense.

The black cat didn't approach rashly. Instead, it circled the house several times, familiarizing itself with every blade of grass and tree nearby.

It selected a few observation points and quietly squatted in one of them, close to a window, staring at the house without blinking.

It waited for five hours.

During this period.

The candlelight in the window dimmed and then brightened again, as if a new candle had been lit.

Until the light dimmed again and the window finally plunged into darkness, seemingly indicating that the other person had gone to bed.

The black cat had been waiting, displaying an extraordinary level of patience.

Its owner had said that once the target fell asleep, it could go back.

But it felt that many cats liked to cause trouble in secret, and humans were probably similar. When it was late at night and quiet, there might be unexpected discoveries.

Although its owner's words were correct, this cat also had its own way of doing things.

*

Two hours passed in a hurry.

The surroundings became extremely quiet.

The black cat, with half-closed eyes, suddenly opened them.

It saw a faint, dim light flash in the window in the distance.
