Inside the ancient house, the plump Orange Cat crouched on a chair, sobbing uncontrollably.
The key thing was, crying was one thing, but the cat was catching its tears in a cup as it cried, then drinking them while crying... Although Bai Zhi knew that the cup it had taken out was a Sprite Cup capable of turning any liquid into Sprite, watching it repeat that cycle was honestly a little too much for him.
"Enough, stop crying. Tell me honestly—how did you end up in a place like this? Weren't you in the Puzzle Card World before?"
With a dark expression, Bai Zhi snatched the Sprite Cup from its paws.
"And what was that just now?"
"Something here took a fancy to me. It wanted to forcibly marry this beautiful cat. If I hadn't run into you, I probably would've been defiled by now."
The Orange Cat answered while sniffling miserably.
"I wanted to go into the [World Curtain] to find Master, but I don't know what happened some time ago. [World Tomb] suddenly started shaking on a massive scale, and I got tossed into this place in a daze."
"Shaking..."
As if recalling something, Bai Zhi's expression turned subtle.
The only incident he could think of that had caused World Tomb to shake was when Rain had emerged from within World Tomb.
"Wait, doesn't that mean you've been here for several months?"
Suddenly realizing this, Bai Zhi looked at the Orange Cat with a strange expression.
"From the looks of it, you seem to have been doing pretty well here?"
"Do I look like I've been doing well?"
The Orange Cat looked up at him with a resentful expression.
"This damned place is simply..."
"Why don't you look in a mirror and see how much weight you've gained?"
