Chapter 273 (Bonus Chapter): The Wildcat's Redemption
"Wildcat calling titmouse, wildcat calling titmouse, target has appeared, target has appeared, three o'clock position, two bodyguards beside him, seven suspicious persons fifteen meters behind him, please give instructions, please give instructions."
"The titmouse responds to the wildcat, the titmouse responds to the wildcat, creating chaos to lure the target to the stairwell and ensure the mission goes smoothly."
"Wildcat received, all done."
After the radio was switched off, Gray Rat looked at Wildcat and asked, "So? What's the plan?"
The stray cat stared downstairs and said, "Let's proceed as planned."
Gray Rat frowned immediately and said, "The original plan? There are so many people, and it's just the two of us. Are you sure we can manage? You know this isn't an ordinary place; there could be big problems."
The lynx tossed its long hair and said coldly, "How will we know if we don't try? If the sparrows don't join us, we'll make more money. Isn't that great?"
The gray rat sneered, "You're still the kind of person who values money over life. I'm incredibly unlucky to be partnered with you."
Wildcat's lips curled into a smirk, her tongue tracing a line across her lips as she gave her target a wicked smile. She said to Gray Rat, "Any man can't resist a little fling. My looks are no joke. Enough talk, get ready, let's get started."
The wildcat gracefully departed, and the gray rat glanced down at the target approaching the wildcat, couldn't help but sneer, raised his glass, and downed the wine in one gulp.
Darkness seemed to have descended upon her from the moment she was born. Countless days and nights of fighting and struggling have led her to where she is today, making her the wildcat she is today, and she is proud of it.
But now, she really wanted to tear off and extinguish the last bit of her humanity. She, codenamed Wildcat, an international ace assassin, was actually ambushed by her partner, Gray Rat, during a mission.
She and Gray Rat emerged from the concentration camp together, became ruthless killers together, and worked together to get to where they are today. However, in the end, all the trust vanished in an instant, defeated by so-called glory and money.
The deafening explosions robbed her of her hearing; all she could see was her own flesh and blood flying through the air, eventually dancing with the smoke and dust. Before her last shred of consciousness faded, she only heard one sentence from Gray Rat.
Wildcat, I'm sorry, but in the assassin profession, there can only be one ace. So, you must die.
……
Her body seemed to be gently caressed, and the torn wounds were instantly healed. The wildcat opened its eyes, smiled, and said, "So you're not dead after all."
"You're dead, you're dead! Where are you now? Where are you?"
A sharp, inhuman voice rang in my ears. The wildcat raised its eyebrows and said, "Stop fooling around. How could I still see you if I were dead? You noisy bird, you never stop for a moment."
But as soon as she finished speaking, the wildcat realized that her strength was gradually fading, and the feeling of powerlessness was getting heavier and heavier. Finally, her eyelids drooped and she fell into darkness.
When she opened her eyes again, the people and scenery that greeted her caused her to be momentarily stunned and surprised. After a moment, she seemed to realize something and asked, "Who are you? Where is this?"
The person in front of her was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, but she was different from any twelve or thirteen-year-old child she had ever seen. There was no warmth in her eyes, her face was wooden, and she remained silent. Her hands moved non-stop, and in a few quick movements, she wrapped her up like a big rice dumpling. After she finished, she said, "The wounds on your body are not deep. It's probably just that you lost too much blood. Take care of yourself and get well before you leave."
The wildcat raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in its eyes. It glanced sideways at the window and saw the bird still perched to one side, chirping at her.
"The people I found, the people I found, aren't they amazing? Aren't they amazing?"
The wildcat sneered, and the person next to him suddenly stopped, then said after a moment, "If you don't want to stay, you can leave now, but don't forget to take that beast with the crooked head with you. This is not a wildlife sanctuary."
The stray cat shook its head and said, "How can you speak so heartlessly at such a young age? Even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't. By the way, you still haven't told me where this is? Your clothes are quite unique, could you give me one too?"
The girl didn't say anything and continued bustling around. After a while, she threw a rag at her and said, "I can't take off your clothes, so I cut them up. I'm sorry. Anyway, you can't wear clothes now and wait for me to get better. I'll try my best to get you a new set of clothes, but they won't be the same as yours."
The wildcat chuckled, not even glancing at the tattered cloth in front of it, and said, "I like clothes like yours. Just buy me one like yours on Taobao, and I'll give you the money when I'm better."
The girl frowned at her, but she still smiled gently. After a moment, the girl said, "If your brain is damaged, don't talk all the time. Be careful you don't recover. I'm going to gather herbs. You should go to sleep."
The girl left without a word, and only after she disappeared did the stray cat suddenly stop smiling and say to the bird on the windowsill, "What's going on? Where am I?"
The birds chirped: "Whirlpool, wild wolf, no computer, no cell phone, no Taobao, no money, eating wild grass."
The bird's words were a jumbled mess, making the wildcat frown, but she managed to make out the gist of it. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she smiled wickedly, saying, "Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. It's better than before, isn't it!"
The bird tilted its head, seemingly not understanding what she was saying. It stood on the windowsill for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew away.
In the following days, the stray cat obediently lay in bed to recover. The room was very simple; the bed curtains looked like they would fall apart at the slightest touch, and the quilt was patched and mangled, a sorry sight. Apart from the brand-new bandages and medicines that the girl brought each day, the rest of the clothes were probably just tattered clothes.
The girl remained silent and didn't like to talk. The stray cat often muttered to itself. When the girl wasn't around, another girl who took care of her said a few things, but it seemed like she had been instructed beforehand, so she didn't say much.
However, after a few days, she managed to figure out the girl's name and identity.
The girl's name was Jian Yue. She lived in this manor. In name, she was the master, but in reality, she was not even as good as a servant. She ate and drank pig swill all day long. Even wild cats were much better than her when they were being trained.
The girl who often took care of her was named Xiao Cui. According to her, she was saved by Jian Yue, so she wanted to repay the kindness and stayed by her side. The rest of the people in the village were like dogs to others. They would beat or scold the girl, or ignore her and pretend she didn't exist.
In this environment, and with this kind of treatment, the stray cat felt a sense of shared misfortune. However, there was one more thing she was certain of: she had transmigrated. Her shattered body had been reassembled by the so-called vortex that the little bird had mentioned, and ultimately, she had ended up in this place.
But what about the wolf that the silly bird and the little girl were talking about?
Obviously, the stupid bird couldn't give a complete answer, so Xiao Cui became the breakthrough point again. Xiao Cui said that the wolf appeared when they went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and then kept circling around them. Helpless, the two were forced to stay by her side and discovered that she was seriously injured.
According to Xiao Cui's explanation, the wildcat roughly figured out the answer. Her communication with the silly bird would naturally be heard by other creatures, so they would naturally want to help her. That's why she provoked the wolf and was saved by it.
Wildcat couldn't help but sigh. In her previous life, she was able to reach such heights in the assassin world not only because of her own strength, but also because of an extra advantage: she could communicate with animals. In fact, as long as she deliberately spoke to one animal, other animals could understand her. Therefore, stray cats and dogs, and even rats in the sewers, became her communicators, allowing her to stand out among many assassins and become famous in one battle.
It's a pity that in the end, they were still outmaneuvered by the newest people and were back to square one.
After lamenting its fate, the wildcat regained its smile and muttered to itself, "Humans are crueler than wild beasts. I'm curious, you stupid bird, how did you manage to get here with me? Tell me, in such a huge whirlpool, how come you weren't torn to pieces?"
The silly bird was her most frequently used scout. Over time, it was always by her side. After a while, it needed a name. Since the wildcat couldn't name it, she simply called it the silly bird. This combination was once ridiculed by the gray rat. It made so much money, yet it kept a sparrow. The rat laughed at the wildcat, saying that it loved to eat sparrows and that it was raising it to be tamed before slaughtering it.
Of course, the stupid bird's IQ was still very low. After listening to the wild cat's words, it pondered for a long time but still couldn't answer this difficult question. It could only chirp, "Whirlpool, fly, find the cat, fly, no computer, no cell phone."
The wildcat chuckled and said, "Ah, so you love me that much? You even gave up your favorite computer and phone. It breaks my heart to see you like this. Were you waiting for me to say that? You silly bird."
The silly bird suddenly flapped its wings and chirped, "I'm ignoring you. The mother bird is coming to lay eggs for me. Go lay eggs."
The wildcat chuckled and sighed, "What a womanizer who values romance over friendship."
The silly bird flew away as it spoke. At that moment, the door creaked open, and Xiao Cui poked her head in, looked around, and then cautiously glanced at the stray cat lying on the bed. She whispered, "Nobody's here. Who are you talking to, young lady?"
The wildcat chuckled and said, "I'm just talking to myself. I'm just bored lying here. By the way, where's your young lady?"
Xiao Cui came in and put down the tray, saying, "Miss said there was no meat at home, and the young lady's wound needs nutrition, so she went to the mountains to hunt pheasants."
The wildcat paused, looked at Xiao Cui, and said, "We are complete strangers. You have already done so much by saving me. Why would you go hunting for someone you don't know? Don't you know there are many wild animals in the mountains? She is so young, she could easily get into trouble."
Xiao Cui immediately looked worried and said, "What can I do? Although Miss is quiet and reserved, she is very kind-hearted. Once she has made up her mind about something, no one can persuade her otherwise. She went early this morning and hasn't returned yet. I'm very worried, but I have to stay and be wary of the people in the manor."
