Chapter 21 [21] The Black Cat Who Became a Spirit

Cheng Han toiled in the kitchen for an hour, preparing four dishes.

They were: half a pot of oily braised rabbit, half a pot of fragrant stewed rabbit, plus a plate of dry-fried rabbit, and a dish of stir-fried rabbit with celtuce.

In a word, a full rabbit feast!

During the cooking process, the black cat entered full-time observation mode, staring at the food in the pot without blinking, just like a gluttonous cat.

Cheng Han portioned out some food and poured it into Sheriff's bowl, smiling and saying, "You've waited a long time, haven't you? Eat up."

The black cat couldn't wait to come over and began to gobble it down, occasionally making slight "purring" sounds.

This was its way of showing it was very happy.

Cheng Han picked up a piece of braised rabbit, chewed it a few times, and said with a proud smile, "My cooking skills are getting better and better."

The rabbit meat had been stewed for a long time, the meat was tender, the texture was soft, and the taste was quite good.

This was mainly due to the several seasonings he had discovered.

For example - trifoliate fern.

This was a plant that feathered beasts liked to eat. Cheng Han used the Eye of Omniscience to analyze it once, and obtained an unexpected result.

If a batch of rhizomes were collected, the juice squeezed out, and then the impurities filtered out, adding it to raw meat would have a miraculous effect of tenderizing the meat.

In professional terms, trifoliate fern contains a protease that can break down coarse and tough muscle proteins, breaking them down into smaller protein molecules, making them easier to digest.

This is the essence of "tenderization".

And the reason why the black cat likes to eat the food made by its master more and more is precisely because of this.

However, Cheng Han didn't eat too much.

He tasted each dish, finished a little more than half a bowl of rice, and put down his chopsticks: "Sheriff, take your time eating."

The black cat immediately stopped eating, looked up at its master, and called out several times: "Meow~ Meow~".

Cheng Han used the effect of the Spirit Control Remnant Seal to understand what Sheriff meant.

It was asking: You used to eat two big bowls, why so little today?

The black cat looked down at the rabbit meat in the rice bowl, then looked up at the ceiling, and waved its paw: "Meow~".

It meant: Do you think the cottontail rabbit isn't tasty? How about catching birds again tomorrow?

Cheng Han couldn't help laughing when he saw it gesticulating and drawing.

"I ate too much for lunch, the cottontail rabbit tastes good, let's continue catching rabbits in the future."

The black cat glanced at its master's abdomen with concern before lowering its head to eat.

Honestly, the interaction between this person and cat didn't seem like an exchange between a master and a pet, but more like two humans talking.

Cheng Han looked at the black cat and chuckled, "I sometimes really suspect that there may be a human soul hidden in your body."

The black cat buried its head in eating, but its cat ears perked up.

Cheng Han continued: "When I met you outside the textile factory, I went home and did a deduction, and foresaw the Ghost Claw sucking up your flesh and blood.

"I originally thought this was just a coincidence, but now that I think about it, the Ghost Claw might have sensed your specialness before taking your soul."

"Meow~"

The black cat wagged its tail.

After the black cat finished eating, it licked the rice bowl clean, then jumped onto the kitchen counter with the rice bowl in its mouth, and placed it in the sink.

It stretched out a front leg and skillfully turned on the faucet.

"Whirr~"

Clear water flowed out immediately.

The black cat turned its cat head and raised its voice: "Meow~".

This was calling out to its master, asking him to help wash the dishes.

After living with humans for a few days, this cat had quickly learned human habits, washing its rice bowl every day, otherwise it would rather go hungry.

After Cheng Han finished washing the dishes, he picked up the bamboo cover and covered the food.

Although there was no refrigerator in this world, the night temperature was low enough now, so there was no need to worry about the leftovers going bad if they were left out overnight.

After finishing all this, Cheng Han beckoned to the black cat: "Sheriff, come over and let's chat!".

The black cat jumped onto the sofa and stared at its master.

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head first before opening his mouth and saying, "A rather bad thing happened at school yesterday…"

He briefly described the matter of the grass dog, and explained in detail the role played by Tan Zicheng in it.

The black cat was unbelievably smart, and could catch birds and rabbits, and could support the whole family with the power of one cat, so how could it be regarded as an ordinary "cat"?

Letting it understand the whole picture could greatly exert its subjective initiative, and perhaps there would be unexpected gains.

Cheng Han spoke eloquently: "As far as I know, Tan Zicheng doesn't have outstanding performance in school, and he most likely hasn't mastered extraordinary power.

"So I strongly suspect that Tan Zicheng accidentally obtained a rather powerful item, and this guy is currently exploring the function of this item.

"The grass dog incident that happened in the botanical garden was a small experiment done by this person."

The black cat listened very attentively.

Cheng Han's tone became a little annoyed: "However, grass dogs are extremely aggressive things, and in the past there have been tragedies of grass dogs biting people to death.

"The botanical garden is a place for students to take practical lessons. Tan Zicheng actually created a grass dog. This guy is very indifferent and ruthless at heart, and doesn't care about the lives of his classmates at all."

"Meow~"

The black cat called out, as if expressing agreement.

Cheng Han began to solicit its opinion: "I want to investigate Tan Zicheng's background and find out what he has obtained. Are you willing to help me monitor him?"

He solemnly emphasized: "This matter may involve a relatively large risk. If you don't want to go, it doesn't matter."

The so-called "treating people with sincerity" is the same for cats.

This was Cheng Han's principle.

The black cat tilted its head and thought for a while, then nodded its cat head heavily: "Meow!".

It agreed.

Cheng Han showed a smile: "You are a black cat, acting at night is like being invisible. Starting today, you will monitor Tan Zicheng's house at night, and come back after he falls asleep, how about that?"

The black cat responded: "Meow!".

Cheng Han opened his schoolbag, took out a notebook, and said, "I'll draw you a simple map first, so you know where Tan Zicheng lives…"

He stopped halfway.

A thought suddenly popped into his head, could he use some kind of extraordinary means to directly convey information to Sheriff?

If feasible, this would be much more convenient than paper and pen communication.

The former only takes a moment, while the latter requires writing and drawing, and a lot of talking, the efficiency is simply worlds apart.

Seeing its master stunned in place, the black cat urged: "Meow~".

Cheng Han came back to his senses and said, "To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools! Don't worry, I'll do something important first."

The current Spirit Control Remnant Seal does not yet have this ability. He decided to use the Eye of Omniscience to try to complete the Remnant Seal and deduce the relevant functions.

How would he know if it would work without trying?

Cheng Han grabbed the black cat's legs and placed it on his lap: "Sheriff, cooperate a bit."

The black cat was a little helpless, but did not resist.

Cheng Han gently stroked its abdomen and said with a smile, "Relax a little, don't tense your body too much."

The black cat wagged its tail and its body quickly relaxed.

Cheng Han took a few deep breaths and silently recited, "Using the black cat as a related object, deduce the method of spiritual communication between humans and animals, and complete the Spirit Control Remnant Seal!".

The familiar coolness flowed over his scalp once again.

His mental value began to plummet.

Cheng Han was pleasantly surprised.

He succeeded in one try!

Not bad!

The next moment.

The person and the cat shook at the same time.
