Chapter 1

A cat with a human face languidly stretched after vomiting a finger, letting out a cute "Meow~".

Its voice was melodious and soft, its form endearingly clumsy. If you ignored that pale, stiff face, it might even be able to compete in a Pokémon beauty pageant.

Like many other internet goofballs, Li Ang enjoyed viewing cats online. Pure, innocent countryside student cats, exotic bi-colored-eyed cats, wild and flamboyant Bengal cats, mature and sexy golden chinchilla cats, gentle and intellectual plump Garfield cats...

His vast experience of viewing thousands of cats was on full display in that instant. Li Ang half-squatted down, forcing a smile.

Regardless of how this completely illogical situation had come to be, standing still was probably the worst option.

Hesitation leads to defeat.

"Nice Mimi..."

Li Ang slowly reached out towards the strange cat, pretending to want to pet and rub it. In the moonlight, one could vaguely see a wooden chopstick hidden in his sleeve.

The human-faced cat completely ignored Li Ang's attempts to ingratiate himself, and just licked its paw.

Little by little, Li Ang's hand slowly approached, about to touch the strange cat's furry forehead. At the same time, he tilted his forearm slightly forward, causing the wooden chopstick in his sleeve to slide down smoothly.

The human-faced cat squinted its eyes, scratching its ear with its freshly licked paw, grooming itself, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

From an angle completely invisible to the strange cat, Li Ang's thumb steadily caught the sliding chopstick. If the creature made any unusual movements, Li Ang could instantly reverse his grip on the chopstick and plunge it straight into its eye socket.

The human-faced cat kept its head down, maintaining its grooming posture, and just let out a soft, lukewarm meow.

"Meow~"

Ka, ka, ka.

Li Ang suddenly felt his limbs become as heavy as if they were filled with lead. The spaces between his bones felt as if they were injected with cement, making it difficult to move, and emitting a dry, grating sound.

In just a single breath, Li Ang completely lost control of his limbs, like a statue, frozen in a half-squatting, outstretched posture.

"Huff, huff..."

The black cat made rapid breathing sounds. The old woman's face was wrinkled into a ball due to pain, appearing particularly terrifying in the silent night.

After a while, the black cat regulated its breathing and staggered towards Li Ang.

Li Ang watched helplessly as the black cat gradually approached, leaped up, jumped onto his knees, and slowly began licking his chin with its pink tongue covered in barbs.

Once, twice, the black cat's licking frequency increased. The barbs on its tongue scraped across his skin, leaving bloody marks and bringing a cold, stinging pain.

Goosebumps instantly covered his entire body. Li Ang instantly understood that Zhang Cuilian hadn't fainted and died from acute complications of diabetes,

but like himself, had her body immobilized by this strange cat, watching helplessly as her face was eaten, her fingers and toes gnawed off...

A chill, like a tide, submerged his heart, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Li Ang gritted his teeth, trying with all his might to tense all the muscles in his body, but it only allowed his stiff, numb eyes, nose, mouth, and tongue to move slightly.

As if it had tasted enough blood, the human-faced cat licked its tongue contentedly. After a brief examination, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit at Li Ang's chin.

Tear.

The strange cat's canine teeth pierced his skin, blood flowing down, sliding along Li Ang's neck all the way down.

It could no longer suppress its strong desire for flesh and blood. It needed to tear, gnaw, chew, swallow... to devour all those two-legged beasts who used to throw their weight around, into its belly...

The strange cat ecstatically drank Li Ang's blood. As it moved its limbs, it unfastened the buttons of the hand-knitted little jacket on its body.

The light yellow pet jacket fell to the ground.

Unlike the oily, lustrous fur on its body, the fur covered by the jacket was short, sparse, and messy, like unkempt weeds.

And beneath the messy fur,

scars, ferocious and ugly, spread wantonly, bruises, *zhenkong*, knife marks, cigarette burns...

Those were the precious traces left by the black cat's former owner, the seemingly amiable old woman.

As if recalling some bad memories, the human-faced cat's tearing and gnawing became more violent.

For this master-killing "pet," only by returning all the violence to humans could it alleviate its resentful and chaotic mood.

Li Ang tried his best to roll his eyes, but could only see a black shadow below his chin, and the intense pain coming from his jaw.

"..."

He took a deep breath, opened his teeth, stuck out his tongue, and bit down hard!

The tip of his tongue was crushed severely by his sharp teeth. Fresh blood gushed out, the intense metallic taste filling his mouth and reaching his brain.

The oppressive feeling of being tightly bound all over his body instantly lessened. Li Ang gripped the wooden chopstick and stabbed down without hesitation.

Tear!

The pointed end of the chopstick directly pierced the strange cat's fluffy fur and soft skin, running along the right wing of the atlas all the way down, until most of the chopstick was submerged in the human-faced cat's body.

The strange cat was struck by lightning. Its mouth, still in a biting motion, hung open, its almond-colored pupils instantly dimming.

Li Ang stomped his feet on the ground, his body darting forward. At the same time, holding the chopstick, he grabbed the black cat and slammed it hard against the surface of the wall.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Punches, like a rainstorm, poured down on the strange cat's body.

Frontal bone, occipital bone, parietal bone, sphenoid bone, rib, frontal bone, alar bone, scapula, hip bone...

Li Ang silently smashed all the bones of the human-faced cat into a thin cat pancake.

Stinking blood, like splashed ink, splattered on the snow-white wall. Sticky lymph acted as a blurring agent, and all kinds of organs splattered on Li Ang's face and body.

Drip, drip, blood dripped to the ground from Li Ang's retracted fist.

"Huff..."

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, throwing the "cat pancake," which was now just fur,碎骨, and rotten blood and flesh, on the ground.

The dense fog dissipated, the moon shone brightly, and the chirping of insects and birds came from afar.

The ghost wall disappeared.
