it. So, you are also an idiot. Let me tell you, don’t even try. Don’t you get it? You can’t leave this shop for the time being."
Zhang Zian turned his head and stared at Richard—weren’t you also trying to leave when you were here at the beginning? You are in no position to tell others what to do.
Famous walked to the entrance. Bang! Its nose hit an invisible wall and saliva was all over it face. It almost knocked its teeth out.
It was surprised for a moment. Wiping the saliva off its face, it carefully looked forward, and then sniffed. It was certain through its nose and its eyes that there should be no obstacles in front of it, but why couldn’t it go outside?
Famous was unwilling to give up. It reached out its forepaw tentatively, and touched a solid wall. It moved its paw horizontally, finding that this invisible wall seemed to have sealed the entire entrance of the pet shop.
Its heart sank. This was such a familiar situation.
Head down to ponder for a moment, Famous retreated a few steps, made a running start, and then leapt high...
Bang!
It hit the wall so hard this time! Its whole body was stuck on the air wall in a ridiculously amusing way, and then slipped down...
Seeing this, Old Time Tea smiled, and Fina scoffed, while Snowy Lionet was laughing aloud and patting on the cat tree, "Meow! Meow! Men really are fools!"
Richard fluttered its wings and grinned, "You're an idiot! Why did you try so hard?"
Hands covering his face, Zhang Zian couldn’t watch it anymore. What a silly dog!
"Are you okay?" he asked with concern. Famous had hit the wall so hard that even Zhang Zian felt its pain.
Dizzy, Famous struggled to pick itself up from the ground, shook its head and stared at the front. It took Famous a while before it could see the world in front of it clearly…
Although it was in pain, Famous was muscular and robust, and wasn’t injured from the clash. It had gotten used to such crashes numerous times in the black box when it tried to leap over the endless darkness, but failed every
every time.
It had become accustomed to similar pain and disappointment.
Zhang Zian went out through the door easily with Richard on his shoulder, and then came back, and then went out, and back… he demonstrated several times so that Famous could understand.
"You can’t leave this shop right now," he explained to it. "This is a setting of the game, which has summoned you from the void to reality, that neither you nor I can modify. Why not stay in the shop for the time being? We can help Snowy later... "
He picked up the phone and was ready to call Snowy.
"Wait!" said Famous solemnly, holding up a forepaw, "Give me some time."
Zhang Zian was stunned. He put the phone down, wondering what it wanted to do.
Famous stood at the door and closed its eyes.
Darkness. It was back to darkness.
The shop was so similar to the black box. Though it was warm and bright in the pet shop, just like the black box, the game was confining its freedom.
In its imagination, it had returned to the black box again, reviewing what happened before the dawn came.
...
It was in the abysmal darkness.
"Meow, do you mean it? After leaving this place, Galaxy will encounter a new owner?" asked the black and white kitten with anticipation.
Famous gasped weakly and replied, "Yes, you will, but you must leave here first."
"Meow, Galaxy wants to go out!"
"I want to too, but I can’t..." it said despondently, "I don’t know how you got out earlier than I, but I'm afraid I'll be stuck here all my life ..."
"Meow… woo..."
Famous moved its ears. Galaxy's movements seemed somewhat strange.
It was futile for Famous to try to see in the darkness. But why was Galaxy on its left side when it "meow"ed, and then the sound of "woo" came from its right?
That was so scary!
"Galaxy, what are you doing?" it asked anxiously. Fear sprung up in its heart again.
"Meow, Galaxy wants to go out!"
Famous advised Galaxy, "Stop trying, it’s useless. I’m bigger than you, and I can jump higher than you, but even I can’t get out, let alone you."
"Meow, Galaxy wants to go out!"
Regardless of
/>
Regardless of what Famous said, Galaxy had always repeated this sentence.
And just like that, they didn’t know how long it had been, and how many times they had gone through reincarnation.
When Famous woke up, the pain of cyanide poisoning remained in its body.
It had probably experienced death once again. Famous thought calmly, as Galaxy had said, it would feel less pain if it got used to death.
What?
Famous moved its ears. Why was Galaxy so quiet? Did it finally give up?
"Hey! Galaxy, are you tired?" it asked in the darkness.
No response.
"Galaxy?" It reckoned that Galaxy was asleep. It raised its volume and asked again.
Still no response.
"Galaxy!" It trembled, shouting with its loudest voice possible.
It had never been so scared since it was pulled into this inexplicable black box. No matter how painful it was, it was not alone. Galaxy was always there. It had been used to Galaxy's company.
However, where was Galaxy right now?
Famous’s first thought was that Galaxy was dead, thoroughly, and would not resurrect anymore.
It did not feel sad. Jealousy struck it madly. It was jealous of Galaxy, who finally had escaped from the endless reincarnations, even if it meant it was completely dead.
It carefully explored the black box, in which it didn’t know how many times it had overturned the poison bottle. But still, it had never found Galaxy's body in the black box.
Another possibility emerged in his mind—had Galaxy really succeeded? Had Galaxy escaped from here?
From thinking of this possibility, it trembled with excitement.
If Galaxy could escape, maybe it could, too!
What special thing did Galaxy do before it escaped?
It carefully recalled that Galaxy just kept saying "Galaxy wants to go out".
"Meow... No. Famous wants to go out!"
It tried to imitate Galaxy, but it couldn’t say the word "meow".
After numerous reincarnations, Famous finally found the secret of Galaxy. Therefore, whenever it had an uncontrollable desire for freedom in its heart, it seemed that it was able to move itself a very short distance randomly around itself—a distance shorter than its leap.
What was the use of such a short range? It was far from being able to escape the black box like Galaxy.
