Chapter 369: Chapter 169 Egyptian Cat Lady_3

The sales associate, uncertain whether Lin Baici would be annoyed at being addressed directly by name, decided to simply refer to him in the way gamers refer to expert players.

Although Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu had not experienced such rule contamination, just by looking at the corridor that stretched over a hundred meters, with the floor covered in headless human body murals, they understood the cruelty of what had just happened here.

Those who survived because of Lin Baici finally realized his importance.

Without him, they would have undoubtedly faced total annihilation.

Leaving this death zone behind, everyone walked for another ten minutes before they came upon something new.

"Look quickly, there are statues!"

Gu Qingqiu had very good eyesight and was extremely observant and meticulous, spotting something off even before Xia Hongyao did.

About thirty meters ahead, there was a black statue that appeared to be carved from some kind of precious stone, and it was shrouded in a dark luminescence.

The crowd moved towards it.

The statue was of a female, over one and a half meters tall, with a pair of cat ears on her head and a black cat tail coming from her coccyx.

Plus, with the whiskers on its face, it looked just like a standing anthropomorphic cat, life-like.

"This isn’t a real person, is it?"

The male sales associate’s scalp tingled.

"Be daring, remove the ’isn’t’!"

Xia Hongyao reached out to touch the statue but was grabbed by the wrist by Lin Baici.

[A cursed wretch, turned into a Cat Statue, life signs have already vanished, there is no need for panic, touching will not infect you with the curse.]

[Her organs are still flesh and blood, if you take them out now, they can be transplanted to someone else, and if you have a need, you could take advantage while they’re fresh, it will definitely give you a different experience.]

"Shall we not go any further?"

The girl with the hairpin was frightened.

Many others had the same thought and began to advise Lin Baici against proceeding.

"We are probably too late!"

After Lin Baici spoke, a soft feminine voice arose.

"Welcome to my kingdom!"

The crowd showed expressions of fright.

The girl with the hairpin gazed at Lin Baici, her eyes full of pleading, "Let’s run away quickly, okay?"

"It’s too late!"

Xia Hongyao warned, "Hearing that voice means the rule contamination has taken effect. If we run now, we’ll surely be punished!"

"If anyone doesn’t believe it, they can try!"

No one dared to try. Even without the Cat Statues standing there, they wouldn’t dare gamble with their lives.

"If it’s not bad luck, you can’t evade it anyway, let’s go!"

Gu Qingqiu urged, eagerness in her eyes.

The group followed Lin Baici, carefully moving forward. More and more Cat Statues appeared, men and women, old and young.

"Over two hundred now!"

Hua Yue Yu roughly counted.

With so many Cat Statues erected here, it was like a forest. After everyone passed through, they saw a huge stone platform.

On the platform was a set of scales made from gold, with the patterns of the Cat God meticulously carved on it, each one intricate and protruding.

The entire scale was gleaming with a golden brilliance, dispersing some of the gloom.

"Where’s the monster?"

Gu Qingqiu looked around, a hint of excitement in her gaze.

Kim Myungjin glanced at the girl, thinking she was nuts.

Suddenly, a foot-and-a-half long Black Cat jumped onto the platform, walked elegantly to the side of the golden scale, and nestled down.

It extended its paw, casually flicking one of the scale’s pans.

The scale immediately began to swing up and down.

"I fancy wise individuals, so come and answer my questions!"

The Black Cat’s amber eyes, as if capable of divination, swept across every person present: "Five questions, get them all right, and you can leave this place."

"Cough cough, what if we answer incorrectly?"

Gu Qingqiu glanced at the Cat Statues, "Turn into one of these things?"

Lin Baici’s expression showed a hint of surprise; this girl was rash!

From her behavior, it was not that she didn’t know about the danger of this creature, but she simply did not care at all.

[She is relishing the thrill of walking on the edge of death!]

"Answer incorrectly, and you will stay here, listening to the answers of others!"

The Black Cat didn’t mention death, but everyone knew, becoming a statue meant you couldn’t survive.

Thus, the atmosphere on site instantly became tense and suffocating.

"Does anyone wish to step forward first, to showcase their profound knowledge?"

The Black Cat asked, fiddling with the scale.

No one spoke.

"If no one volunteers, then I shall randomly select!"

The small paw of the Black Cat lifted up, slowly moving from left to right, then suddenly stopped.

Where the Black Cat’s paw pointed, there were over twenty people who, upon seeing this, panicked and hastily shuffled to the side.

"The male in the black shirt, please come answer the question."

The Black Cat nominated.

"Lin the Great!"

The man in black looked towards Lin Baici.

"Stop looking at Oppa, go answer the question!"

Kim Myungjin urged, worried that the man’s movements would draw the Black Cat’s attention to Lin Baici, and he would be the one chosen to answer, which would be troublesome.

"Give it your best shot!"

Lin Baici, lacking any information to help, felt he couldn’t do much.

"Does the Black Cat like the color black? So it picked the person wearing black clothes first?"

Gu Qingqiu deduced.

Upon hearing this, people around quickly glanced down at their clothing, and a few wearing black denim began to strip off their pants.

Better safe than sorry.

"The first question!"

The Black Cat nestled next to the scale and tapped it: "How many cats are around me?"

Everyone immediately looked around, intending to count, but they saw not a single cat!

"Am I blind? There aren’t any cats here, are there?"

Hua Yue Yu rubbed her eyes.

"So the answer is zero?"

The girl with the hairpin was very unsure of herself.

"It can’t be that simple, right?"

The sales associate thought there had to be a trick in the question, "Could it be some kind of riddle?"

"If it asked how many fish there are, I’d definitely be able to count, but cats, that’s not my strong suit!"

The middle-aged man who loved fishing scratched his head.

It felt like doom was imminent!
