Chapter 2539 - 1148: Those Who Ignore God Lin’s Words Suffer Immediately! (2)
Xu Daguan fiercely stared at the men on the windowsill: "Old White, if you can’t do it, I’ll be the bad guy!"
Xu Daguan wasn’t afraid, with Lin Baici overseeing, he could definitely secure a position as the second-in-command.
Too bad he couldn’t act recklessly and kidnap a few brides for some fun.
Lin Baici frowned; he didn’t oppose these tourists looking for clues, but tampering with that window seemed too risky.
"Hey..."
Just as Lin Baici was about to command them down, the glass window suddenly flipped, and a cat’s head emerged.
With a snap, it bit a man, then retreated.
Qi Fentou and the others froze, then turned and jumped to the ground like dumplings.
"That cat’s here again!"
Qi Fentou shouted, landing on the ground with a thud.
Crash!
The tabby cat passed through the flipped glass again, leaped over the windowsill, and jumped into the living room.
It turned nimbly, staring at Qi Fentou and the others.
"God Lin, save me!"
Qi Fentou shouted.
He regretted it; he should have listened to Lin Baici.
The moment Qi Fentou spoke, the tabby cat locked onto him and leaped.
Qi Fentou ran wildly, then halted abruptly, trying to change direction. Yet before the agile tabby cat, he was clumsy as a cripple. The moment he twisted his body, showing signs of changing course, the tabby cat’s paw had already struck him.
Bam!
Qi Fentou was pinned to the ground. He instantly understood the feeling of Sun Wukong being smashed by Five-Finger Mountain!
The next instant, the tabby cat’s head rapidly approached, filling Qi Fentou’s view with its sharp teeth and great mouth.
Crunch!
The tabby cat bit Qi Fentou’s head, shook vigorously a few times.
The headless body flew away.
Thunk!
The tabby cat spat out the head and continued to target the next.
No one cared about Qi Fentou’s fate, everyone was searching for a hiding spot.
Under the sofa and tables were densely populated hotspots.
"Leader, what should we do?"
Liu Zilu cried out.
"Shut up!"
Bai Jiao scolded, "Do you want to attract that cat?"
Lin Baici had already returned to the ground: "Go under the fridge!"
Everyone quickly lay down and crawled under the fridge.
Earlier they hid in the fridge because the tabby cat hadn’t appeared; now, hiding in there, would the tabby cat be a fool?
What if it just stayed by the fridge, they’d all turn into popsicles!
"Why didn’t the cat meow this time before showing up?"
Tao Nai complained; she’d rather be cold than be decapitated.
"Surely those idiots pushing the window attracted the cat!"
Xu Daguan scoffed, "I told them to listen to Old White, but they didn’t!"
"But they paid the price!"
Fang Mingyuan looked outside: "The tabby cat bit them all to death!"
"Stop talking!"
Bai Jiao was about to go crazy; at such a time, they were still muttering, afraid the cat wouldn’t hear?
The tourists fled in all directions. Those who hadn’t found a hiding spot were already desperate, but after the wild cat killed those who jumped from the windowsill, it turned on the spot, glanced at the surrounding humans...
Meow!
The tabby cat jumped back to the windowsill and left through the flipped glass.
Phew!
With the cat gone, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
The pressure in the enormous living room noticeably lightened.
Some continued hiding and didn’t come out.
Find the clue out?
Whoever wants to find, go find it!
The eight headless bodies on the floor were particularly eye-catching, as were their scattered heads, like discarded bowling balls.
"Why didn’t the cat take the corpses this time?"
Pei Fei wanted to use his brain to look for clues.
Many people looked at Lin Baici, waiting for an explanation.
"If I’m not mistaken, the cat appeared the first time to hunt, but the second time because someone tried to escape!"
Lin Baici analyzed.
"Escape?"
Ji Xinyan touched his chin: "We’ve been trying to escape!"
"Could the correct way to pass be to set a trap and kill that cat?"
Everyone nodded at Ji Xinyan’s suggestion, finding some logic in it.
"It’s the way they’re trying to escape that’s wrong!"
Lin Baici added: "That piece of glass shouldn’t be touched!"
"Just wait, when the tabby cat appears again, listen if there’s a meow to judge if it’s here to kill!"
Lin Baici was sure it was not about killing the cat; otherwise, even a common God Hunter would pass too easily.
"Why make that judgment?"
Xu Jiaqi couldn’t stand it: "Leader, quickly save the day, and try to find the exit before the cat appears again!"
"Exactly, the fate of all the students from Software Engineering Class 01 depends on you!"
Ji Xinyan joked, but no one laughed.
With the lesson from Qi Fentou and his group’s, no one went back to that windowsill, and many didn’t dare to wander around looking for clues either.
Who knew what action might attract that tabby cat, and it’d be over!
So they all looked at Lin Baici, placing their hopes on him.
Lin Baici jumped onto the TV cabinet, picked up the remote control bigger than him, and turned on the LCD TV.
He wanted to see if there were any clues on the TV.
First came a three-minute-long commercial, after which it entered a channel, beginning with ads.
Lin Baici scanned but found no clues, so he switched channels, still ads!
Across seven channels, Lin Baici flipped through them all; without exception, all were ads.
"Old White, any discoveries?"
Xu Daguan stared at the screen.
"None!"
Lin Baici pondered, his eyes traveling around the room.
Air conditioner, greenery, vacuum robot...
All common items.
Curtains, wedding photo, TV wall, sockets, switch...
Wait!
Switch?
Lin Baici immediately focused on the chandelier.
Should I try turning it on?
Lin Baici acted as he thought, running to the switch, jumped forcefully, then reached out and hit it.
Snap!
The chandelier lit up.
The abrupt change in brightness startled everyone; some looked at Lin Baici, others at the window, fearing the tabby cat would charge in again.
"Did anyone see any changes?"
Lin Baici asked; he hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
"No!"
Hua Yue Yu shook her head.
Xu Daguan scratched his cheek, a bit disheartened: "What changes can you see from a broken light?"
"Might as well just smash it!"
At this point, Xu Daguan’s eyes lit up: "Old White, is it possible that smashing this chandelier would reveal a key clue?"
"Wouldn’t it be better to try turning the light on several times?"
Lin Baici thought about rolling his eyes.
Usually, such lamps have several levels of brightness that can be adjusted.
So, Lin Baici jumped up again and tapped it.
The light became brighter.
Then Lin Baici hit it a third time; the brightness increased again. After the fourth time, the chandelier turned off.
Lin Baici saw nothing unusual, thinking the chandelier was useless, and decided to look elsewhere, but as he walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
Could it be that standing in another position would reveal something unusual?
Lin Baici turned on the light again, then jumped to the top of the fridge.
No change whatsoever!
"Spread out and look for changes!"
Lin Baici instructed, not discouraged. He jumped down, tapped the switch, then returned to the top of the fridge.
When Lin Baici adjusted the chandelier to the maximum brightness, Fang Mingyuan, who was climbing on the couch back, shouted excitedly.
"Old White, there’s something!"
Fang Mingyuan pointed at the floor: "A pattern has appeared!"
Everyone perked up and rushed towards the couch.
Lin Baici was moved, jumping atop the fridge to look down.
Indeed!
From here, one could also see the chandelier’s light casting a five-pointed star pattern on the floor.
Each star had a circle!
"Everyone, we’ve found a clue!"
Fang Mingyuan shouted, feeling a sense of pride from his discovery, seeking praise.
But no one cared because they all knew it was Lin Baici who had them spread out, and it was Lin Baici who had first turned on the light.
