"You—"
Wei Ge watched helplessly as Shade Cat was taken away, but did not know what to say to stop it. Flora, meanwhile, smiled in satisfaction:
"Very nice. This cat really does seem well-behaved. No wonder so many people like it. But now, I'm the one who has caught you."
As she spoke, she stroked the back of the clearly unhappy Shade Cat again:
"Wei Ge, this cat isn't an ordinary cat, is it? I can sense an extremely powerful life force within it. Is that why you rely on this spirit cat to detect 'Wither'? My teacher once studied the power of 'Wither' as well, attempting to combine it with death, so I know a little about it."
Wei Ge's lips twitched.
"Yes, cough cough, yes. That's right."
"Then can you lend this cat to me for a while? I'll return it to you after I go home tonight. I really like this cat. We get along very well."
Miss MacDonald looked helplessly toward her teacher, but Wei Ge was powerless at the moment as well. She could only purse her lips and look at the cat.
"You must be careful. Don't hurt it."
"Yes, yes. This little mother cat is so adorable. She reminds me of an orange-and-white kitten I once saw."
Wei Ge and Flora had brought people here because, after Flora examined the "corpse" samples taken from the Astley Family cemetery last Friday, she had tracked down the location of the main body corresponding to those bodily tissues through a witch's unique secret art.
It's just that, compared to Shade and Miss MacDonald, who had gone straight to Grey Rock Pass, Wei Ge and Flora had taken a long detour through the desolate zone between the Outer City District and Grey Rock Pass before arriving here.
