Chapter 1100 - 162 Korma’s Plan
Chapter 1100: Chapter 162 Korma’s Plan"Why did you have to choose today to go out? This is not a good day."
The black cat stood on a horizontal branch of the Return Soul Poplar, staring down with its big, amber eyes—repeating the question it had just asked, its tone particularly unfriendly: "And who is she? Why is she here?"
Under the Return Soul Poplar, apart from the black cat’s contractual partner, Korma, there was also a witch wearing a mask.
A black cloak, trousers, and a shirt, with a belt adorned with a string of amulets and a thick Law book.
Even though the masked witch’s face was not visible, just by her attire alone, Zheng Qing could easily determine that the person standing before him was Elena— not to mention the familiar scent she carried. It hadn’t even been half an hour since they parted in Flying Garden.
Zheng Qing felt that the bad premonition he had earlier had become reality.
It had been over a week since he spied on Elena and Korma’s secret meeting during the Anti-Magic Festival, and since he followed them to the meeting with the Rat Immortal.
During this time, Zheng Qing had also observed Elena discreetly and found that she continued her routine: discreetly attending classes, missing them discreetly, and discreetly going on dates with him, never once hinting that she sought his help.
On the contrary, this morning, she had specifically visited Flying Garden to ask if he needed any materials that she could help gather.
This silly girl.
The black cat brooded, twitching its whiskers, considering whether to call off today’s slightly aggressive adventure.
Korma had a ready answer for the black cat’s questions.
"I’ve explained this many times: the weather is good today, no bugs biting, fewer monsters! Why not choose today to go into the forest? You’re always busy, busy, busy. A week has gone by, and you haven’t even done one
Beyond that, the Silent Forest today was quieter than any other time Zheng Qing had witnessed before.
Whether it was last year’s winter hunt, the later trip to Silent River, or the previous spring outings, in Zheng Qing’s memory, they all seemed somewhat noisy. Only today did he vaguely grasp several true meanings of ’silence’.
With these thoughts, the black cat finally stopped pacing and looked down from the tree.
"So what do you plan to do?" he asked roughly, "The forest is so vast, how do you intend to start the search?"
Hearing the black cat relent, Korma’s face broke into a smile, "Didn’t you say that the ’Alpha’ hunting area had abnormalities during the last winter hunt? I’ve also done some minor work... Today, we’ll first go to the Alpha hunting area and visit the Mouse-Wolves living there, to hear if they’ve noticed anything unusual."
Hearing the witch’s suggestion, Zheng Qing immediately thought of a certain White Weasel and the fat mouse crouching on the White Weasel’s head.
As expected, the witch’s next words confirmed his thoughts.
"Actually, this is also advice given to us by Big Mouse," Korma seemed to trust their ally, "He said he’s quite familiar with the leader of those Mouse-Wolves..."
Fei Rui still in contact with the Rat Immortal? Zheng Qing was intrigued by this information.
Regarding the hamster that had squatted in his home for more than a decade, he had always harbored a strange vigilance and curiosity—but on the other hand, if Fei Rui really had any ill intentions toward him, there had been plenty of opportunities to deal with him over those years.
