Pet King

those bad kids would realize that they had made mistakes, and she wanted them to know that, if they stop stealing and become good kids, they would encounter people who genuinely liked them.

Xinghai carefully stepped forward.
She looked down at the paw prints, and then looked up at the front side, where a dim light could be seen.
It was the weak sunshine after being refracted several times.
She missed her leisure time at the pet shop, where she could take a nap comfortably under the warm sunshine, where if something occurred, Fina and Old Time Tea would solve it.

She could vaguely hear Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea talking from across the metal wall.
Their voices made her feel at ease.

She walked step-by-step towards one end of the pipe, and the light became increasingly bright, while Zhang Zian ’s voice was getting weaker and weaker.
A fork in the road.
The ventilation pipe divided into four directions, leading forward, to the left, to the right, and to the above, respectively.

Xinghai looked above where the light came from.
From the roof far away, accompanied by a low buzz, the ventilation fan was rotating at a constant speed, sending down fresh air into the pipe continually, and mincing the straight sunrays into everchanging mottled lights and shadows.
She squatted at the fork, looking blankly at the three paths leading forward, to the left and to the right.
Which one should she choose? Each path had paw prints on them.
She wanted to try all three paths, but she was afraid that she would never find her way home if she got lost.

This building was so huge and complicated, just like a maze.
Zhang Zian was like a small grain of sand in this maze, and Xinghai was another grain, but smaller.

But she must choose a direction! If she quit now, her previous efforts will have been wasted.

Right then, she heard a faint sound.

Scratch…
Liked something sharp was scratching on the metal.
Xinghai found this sound familiar.
It was like the sound that Fina’s claws made when she scratched across the metal bowl when she lost her temper because the food tasted poor.
The sound came from the channel in front of her, so she decided to choose this path.
However, when she tried to take a step forward, her body was blocked, as if an invisible wall was in front of her.

Xinghai stuck out her paw to press against the invisible wall.
The air could flow through it, the dust was falling from it, but Xinghai simply could not pass through it.

She remembered a similar situation that had happened to the newcomer, the parrot elfin, at the roof of the pet shop, as if he was confined by some setting of the game.
Even for the intelligent Old Time Tea, it also took it a long time before it could leave Zhang Zian freely.

”What should I do? ”
Another sound came from far away, from the front path.

Xinghai did not want to wait anymore, thinking about what she was not good at.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she had teleported quite a distance forward, leaving the fork road far behind her.
She was now on the other side of that invisible confinement.
No new paw prints were left on the floating dust in the metal passage, but the air had contracted and then expanded due to her sudden disappearance and reappearance, bringing a tiny whirlpool that was invisible to the naked eye.
”Xinghai is the best hide-and-seek player, ” she whispered to herself.

She trotted in towards the direction where the sound came from.

At the same time, inside his pocket, Zhang Zian’s phone screen became bright.
The Pet Hunter Game initiated automatically.
The game’s interface flashed a few times as if it had been interfered with.
And then the game terminated automatically.

The screen became dark again, as if nothing had happened.
