Dusk.

With the exception restaurants that were still insisting on business, shops were closing one after another. Amazing Fate Pet Shop was no exception.

After the store employees cleaned up and arranged everything back to where it was supposed to be, they started to leave in groups.

After dinner, people from all stages of life went out for a walk. They had spent the majority of winter and spring in their homes, but the temperature was finally comfortable and there were no mosquitoes. The weather was nice enough to walk in.

It was not just humans enjoying the nice weather––even nocturnal animals began to wander about.

Although Binhai City was urban and a medium-sized city, there were still many animals that liked to move around at night. At night, dogs out for walks with their humans would often encounter such animals. They would suddenly get excited and rush in a certain direction, then bark at the grass or at flower beds. If one were to pull apart the grass and leaves, they would often find some small animals shaking, such as hedgehogs, squirrels, and wild rabbits.

Of course, the kinds of dogs with that sort of ability were small to large-sized hunting dogs. Small dogs like chihuahuas and pomeranians could not be counted on to do that.

Not far from the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, two acquaintances met outside and began to talk. One of them had an adult golden retriever that was not on a leash. After all, there were few cases of golden retrievers biting people. During their enthusiastic conversation, the golden retriever smelled something and ran down an alleyway.

During the Spring Festival, it was said that there were people stealing dogs from around there. The owner of the dog anxiously started to shout at it, but the excited golden retriever ignored his master’s shout. He plunged into the alley and snorted at a stray kitten that was hidden in a corner.

The golden retriever was considered a treasure of the dogs, but the blood of the hunting dog ran through its body. It was very aggressive to small animals. If the owner pulled on it, it was still all right, but if it was free to roam about, then it often brought back surprises to its owner.

At that moment, the golden retriever was staring at the yellow and white kitten and continuously howling, pondering what sort of posture he should use to use to grab the cat. He wanted to gift it to his owner. Of course, it was not as gentle as a mother cat.

The strange thing was, the yellow and white cat did not show any fear. It just looked at it once, then tried to leap onto the wall.

The golden retriever was about to open his mouth to bite it, when suddenly the direction of the wind changed. He raised his head and looked up, only to see a dozen full moon-like eyes shining upon the wall, staring down at his movements. If they were somewhere else, he would have thought that some ancient god had been revived.

The owner arrived in the alleyway, only for the golden retreiever to run by, whimpering with his tail between his legs. He circled around his owner’s legs to ask for comfort.

The owner was confused. He did not know what kind of situation it had met, but upon seeing the dark alley, he decided to not try to find out. After all, curiosity killed the cat.

Hundreds of stray cats were gathered on the roofs of the cottages and two-story buildings in the area. Normally, they would have been noisy, but at that time they were unusually quiet and hardly heard, even by the inhabitants under the roof.

Vladimir looked at the faces of the representatives of the stray cats. Every time there was a meeting, there was an increase in the number of unfamiliar, new faces. That meant that the power and strength of the stray cats was increasing again.

The fire of the cats was setting the prairie ablaze.

However, with the expansion of the sphere of influence, communication problems had caused serious bottlenecks. They could only double the number of cats who communicated and try their best to maintain the smooth flow of information.

“I want to tell everyone something,” Vladimir opened its mouth and said, “I have a friend––a national fighter that feels for the situation of stray cats. They have been met with very unfair treatment!”

The stray cats listened quietly. Pairs of eyes flashed in the dark––sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

“A reactionary academic authority launched a despicable insult and attack on my friend. It was not only an offense to my friend, but also a provocation to all stray cats!” it gripped a forepaw and said angrily.

The stray cats straightened up their bodies and angry flames burned in their eyes. They complained about the suffering of their brothers.

Vladimir waved his front paw passionately. “I’m now officially issuing the highest warrant for arrest! Please sufficiently mobilize the stray cats under your leadership and maximize their ability to collect information. Even if you dig three feet, you need to bring this reactionary academic authority out to me!”

The stray cats were so angry that they broke the silence that they had kept for so long. They called for battle one after another.

The family that was watching television below them heard sounds coming from the rooftop and muttered, “Spring is over, and the cats are still making noise.” After that, they increased the volume of their television like nothing was happening.

Vladimir nodded in satisfaction and waited for the cats to vent their emotions and calm down a little. It said, “The focus of this work should be on big cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the north. According to my estimation, reactionary academic authorities like that live in big cities and lead a decadent life as they exploit their class’s extravagant desires.”

Several cats that were as light as a sparrow nodded their heads, indicating that they would be responsible for conveying the matter to Meow Meow Branch Organizations in big cities.

“In addition, the stray cats in other areas should not relax their vigilance. After all, the world is not absolute. Our root is in small and medium-sized cities and rural areas. The basic principle of rural areas encircling the city cannot be shaken!” Vladimir added.

Some representatives of stray cats asked, “What is the reactionary academic authority and what does it look like? Is it as grim as a pitbull? Is it wearing a gold chain around its neck? Does it have tattoos on its body, and a knife too? Who will cut everyone when it comes out of the BMW?”

They needed a target. If they did not know what the person looked like, it would have been like finding a needle in the haystack.

Vladimir shook its head. “It’s not that simple. The enemy is sly, and is good at acting. They are very good at hiding and cheating. They will not easily slip up and give out their location.”

It recalled the pictures it saw on the computer screen and described him. “The old man is very old, tall, and thin, and has a good appearance. I have seen several pictures of him wearing old-fashioned, traditional clothes… What is old-fashioned, traditional clothing? Well… Anyway, it’s different from what young people wear! Any other questions?”

If it could give each stray cat a picture, it would have… But that was impossible. It could only increase the size of the net, and search out every possible suspicious character.

The stray cats became quiet again; there were no other questions.

“Good!” Vladimir smiled in satisfaction, then his eyes shone with a cold light. “Now it’s time to discuss the Holy Cat Statue. It’s time for us to catch fish in the far-reaching net! For all the cats in the Five Ridges of Tianlian, the earth moves and the three rivers move as the cat paw shakes. If one asks where the statue is going, then the candles of the paper boat will burn in the sky to show the way!”
