Chapter 1102: Cats

At this mont, Fan inan seed to know nothing about the unexpected guest behind her.

She seed to be completely attracted by the words on the load-bearing pillar and ignored the other things around her. In the next mont, Fan inan suddenly turned around without any warning. At the sa ti, she turned the flashlight behind her.

The place that was hit by the light beam was empty.

She didn’t let her guard down. Not long ago, a feeling of being spied on arose in her heart. Considering where she was now, it was apparent that the intruder was not a kind person. However, Fan inan did not show any panic-stricken expression like an ordinary person.

On the contrary, she continued to pretend to observe the words. At the sa ti, she quickly turned around when the guy behind her gradually let his guard down and beca numb. Unfortunately, this trick did not help her catch the peeping Tom.

Was it an illusion?

Fan inan did not think so. She raised the flashlight again and shone it on the tunnel that the snakes had rushed out of earlier.

Fan inan was a little hesitant. She felt that the person who wrote the words on the load-bearing column earlier probably referred to this tunnel. It was different from the endless loop they had taken when they ca. Since snakes could freely climb out of this tunnel, it should not be a problem for them to be trapped. However, there might be other dangers inside.

Just as Fan inan was hesitating whether she should go in and take a look, she heard a clinking sound coming from behind her.

The sound was very close to her. It was less than two ters away. Fan inan’s vigilance had also reached its peak. Without hesitation, she rolled forward and pulled away from the person before turning around.

However, she was imdiately stunned because what appeared in front of her was not a terrifying monster but a white kitten.

The white kitten’s Fur was neatly combed and was without a trace of color. Its nails were carefully trimd, and there was a small yellow bell around its neck. The tinkling sound from before ca from there.

When Fan inan turned to look at the little white cat, it also looked at her. The human and the Cat’s eyes t, and the little white cat licked its paws leisurely.

Fan inan vigilantly took another half step back.

The subway line had been abandoned for more than fifty years, and no one had co down during that ti. They had not seen any creatures in the tunnel they had walked through previously, and the other tunnel was the nest of snakes, so where did this little white cat co from?

Moreover, it did not look like a stray cat running around on the road. It was abnormal for a well-taken care of dostic cat to appear here.

Fan inan had recalled the Norse myths and records related to Jengarde. When she saw this white cat, she suddenly rembered one of the stories.

It was said that Thor had visited the giant kingdom once. The Giant King knew that Thor was born with divine power and was the strongest among the gods, so he tested him with a question to make things difficult for him. He wanted Thor to raise his cat.

Thor was also very confident in his own strength. When he heard this, he walked up confidently. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could only lift one of the cat’s legs. This made Thor very surprised. After he asked, again and again, the Giant King finally told him the truth. He said that the cat was actually transford by the strongest monster of the giant race, Jengarde.

This was also the first ti Thor and the giant Python had t.

Thinking of this story and looking at the little white cat in front of him, Fan inan’s hair stood on end.

.....

It had been two hours since Zhang Heng arrived on the island. Of course, he spent most of his ti drying his clothes and equipnt, and he had only left the beach forty minutes ago. He had taken so ti to study the red pebbles, and thankfully, the island wasn’t particularly large, and Zhang Heng had picked up the pace. By now, he was almost at the center of the island.

It wasn’t that he was hasty or anything, but he didn’t want to take things one step at a ti. Other than the rocks and pebbles, there was nothing else on the island. The scenery on the road was pretty much the sa, so there wasn’t much for Zhang Heng to study even if he wanted to.

He decided not to waste any more ti. After another 15 minutes, a huge red mud wall appeared in front of Zhang Heng. The wall was about seven to eight ters high, completely surrounding the center of the island.

Because the wall was located in a low-lying area, it wasn’t easy to see it outside the island unless one walked here.

However, Zhang Heng circled the wall for half a circle and did not see the entrance there. It was not until he reached a small hill that he unexpectedly t a human.

It was an old man with a white beard and ragged clothes. He had not showered for an unknown period of ti, and his hair and beard were stuck in clumps, sticking to his tanned skin. However, he looked fine, and he was not surprised to see Zhang Heng. Instead, he nodded at Zhang Heng.

“You’re here?”

“You know ?”

“No.” The old man shook his head. “But I know why you’re here.”

“Oh?” Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“To see it, you need to go through the maze behind .”

Zhang Heng was a little surprised. “You know why I’m here, but you’re not going to stop ?”

“Stop ? No, my job is to provide guidance to the people on the island and help them find what they’re looking for.”

“Other than , do you think there are other people on the island?”Zhang Heng caught the old man’s main point.

“Of course. Do you know Kekule, the German organic chemist? He ca to this island before, and not long after he returned, he discovered the simple structure of benzene. Beethoven, who ca earlier, wrote the famous “Fifth Symphony in C Minor” here, and Van Gogh... well... his condition wasn’t too good. Not long after he returned, he was admitted to a ntal hospital. However, it was also there that he completed “Starry Night.” However, all of this happened before I arrived on the island.”

The old man paused. “During my ti here, I received a total of 16 guests. Unfortunately, more than half of them failed to pass through the maze behind . Three of them were eaten by it, but the remaining three returned ho with great rewards. I bet you’ve heard of them, but according to the agreent, I can’t tell you their nas.”

Zhang Heng realized that the old man might have misunderstood sothing and mistook him for a disciple of Yengard. It seed that the giant Python was also unwilling to be left alone. It had been using so thod to attract ordinary people to this island, and it had made so deal with them.
