Jiang Haojie drove those groundless thoughts out of his head, resting his fingers on the black cat's scrawny neck and stroking it gently. Yet he thought that all he had to do was tighten his grip a little, and the cat would begin to struggle, suffocate, and thrash helplessly beneath his hand, until it finally became a limp corpse.

Jiang Haojie immediately picked up the black cat and cradled it in his arms,
