Chapter 245: Dr. Hu’s Consultation Fees

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

“Thud.” Reno’s legs fell from the cat’s paws. It stirred up a bit of dust. After looking around with his black eyes, the cat finally blinked as if nothing had happened.

“We meet again,” the cat doctor said in a refined manner. He gave an elegant smile—perhaps it was a smile, as no one could tell the exact expression on that cat’s face. As he spoke, he took one step back. “It looks like you all are pretty busy. I shall not bother you…” the black and white cat moved extremely fast. He had already retreated quite far after saying those few words. His small body was almost a distant dot…

Startled by this incident, Rena and Lin Sanjiu couldn’t react even after some time. Seeing that the cat was about to slip away, Lin Sanjiu touched Rena’s shoulders and wrote two large words in midair, “Chase him!”

“Ah?” Rena was still in a daze, just like when she was in the pharmacy, “The cat doctor must be busy. It’ll be impolite to make him stay…”

Someone had to watch over Zhu Mingchun. Lin Sanjiu didn’t have time to comment about how suspicious the cat was as it moved farther and farther away. She looked at the cat and quickly wrote, “Consultation!” After that, she rushed toward the cat doctor.

“Oh, that’s right. I need the cat doctor to check on my brother!” Rena mumbled from behind, as if she found it very logical.

Felines are naturally quick animals. This cat doctor was somehow even quicker. He could run much faster than a cheetah. Even with Lin Sanjiu’s flying speed, she found it very hard to catch up with him. However, after thirty seconds, the cat, which had been sprinting as if his life depended on it, suddenly fell on the ground with a “splat”. His tummy rose and fell rapidly as he panted. He looked as though he would rather die than continue running.

This is a common weakness of all felines: they have low stamina.

Lin Sanjiu landed slowly before him. She had no qualms about her decision to chase after this cat.

“Turn back,” she wrote. Even though she wanted to ask the cat many questions, she knew that she could slowly get the answers from him when he went with them.

As a human, Lin Sanjiu couldn’t even communicate as well as a cat right now. When she thought of this, she couldn’t help having a complicated feeling. It was very obvious that the cat doctor could affect the people around him in a very curious manner. Lin Sanjiu wasn’t sure if she was unaffected just because of her higher consciousness form. The black and white cat panted for some time and looked at Lin Sanjiu with its pair of watery eyes for some time. Realizing that the skull in front of him had no intention to let him go, he finally climbed up from the ground and gave her an aloof nod, “Since you are so sincere, I will have a look.”

In his own drama script, he thought that anyone that heard him saying that would definitely reply with something like, “Sorry for the inconvenience, doctor.” However, the skull simply stared at him coldly and did not show any sign of gratitude.

He sighed. Under Lin Sanjiu’s watchful eyes, the cat returned to Reno, feeling somewhat worried.

“Doctor, you’re back! We know that you’re busy. We’re so sorry that we have to bother you like this…” Rena said politely after she saw the black and white cat. “Would you like some tea first? Do you need to rest?”

Clearly, getting Rena to interrogate the cat wasn’t very realistic.

The cat doctor coughed twice. It checked Reno from head to toe as Lin Sanjiu watched him with an overcast gaze.

“He has serious internal bleeding and the number on his back is now only 1. He is in critical condition, very critical… Ah, I mean it’s not that critical,” he seemed to suddenly realize something. “I mean, actually, he doesn’t need a doctor.”

“What does that mean?”

When the cat doctor looked behind him, he saw the skull approaching him so he quickly explained, “He is actually in critical condition. However, under these special circumstances, you can just transfer some numbers to him! Once the number on his back increase, he won’t die. Naturally, his wounds will slowly recover.”

“The doctor is so right,” Rena commented as she nodded profusely. Lin Sanjiu really didn’t know how she should tell her off.

Lin Sanjiu noticed that the cat doctor was busy trying to wake Reno up. Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong. “Do you know what the numbers are?” Lin Sanjiu wrote hurriedly.

“If these numbers are related to the pocket dimension they were in, how did the cat doctor know about it? He doesn’t look like a posthuman… He doesn’t seem to be like B.Rabbit, who has gained wisdom through some random occurrence.” Lin Sanjiu thought to herself

“What are you?” After pondering for a moment, Lin Sanjiu changed her question.

The cat doctor extended his claw and pricked Reno’s neck twice. Two drops of blood slowly oozed out and the teenager actually started to regain consciousness. He passed Reno to Rena before he turned to Lin Sanjiu and introduced himself proudly, “I’m Meowie Hu, I’m a doctor.”He spoke as if it was just common sense.

Lin Sanjiu was immediately perplexed by his answer. At that moment, the cat doctor happened to turn and see Rena holding Reno’s hand. She was about to hold his hand to stab Zhu Mingchun in the neck, the cat leaped up anxiously, “You can’t do that!”

Rena looked at him inquiringly.

“If you help him, it would mean that you are the one who killed that man. The numbers will be transferred to you.” Meowie said sternly, “Let him do it himself. It works even if he uses a Special Item or something.”

The siblings fell silent for a moment after they heard what the doctor had said. Rena threw a glance at Zhu Mingchun, who was still unconscious. She clenched her teeth and passed her fly-whisk to her brother before saying softly, “Aim it at his throat… He’ll die faster.”

Meowie folded his forelegs as if observing some scientific experiment. He watched closely as the fly-whisk landed heavily on Zhu Mingchun’s throat. As Reno was too weak, he didn’t have enough strength. Rena had to hold down Zhu Mingchun firmly while Reno hit him about eight to nine times before the man finally died.

Rena didn’t know why, but it felt worse slaughtering this man like a pig than blasting Hannie to bits. All of them kept quiet for some time before the cat doctor broke the silence, “Ah, alright. He will be fine after he rests for a while.”

The cat sounded high-spirited, “Well, I guess you don’t need this corpse. I will reluctantly accept this as your consultation fee…” As he said this, he started dragging the corpse’s legs.

Sure enough, color slowly returned to Reno’s face. He also regained some energy. He had already forgotten his cat phobia and thanked the cat doctor gratuitously, “It’s no problem at all. Please do take it…”

“How can you be so easily charmed!” Lin Sanjiu scolded in her mind. She rushed over and stopped Meowie. “Tell us what we want to know before you go,” she wrote.
