The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Lying comfortably in Lin Xiyue's arms as they walked to their temporary tent, he felt like he had forgotten something. However, after thinking for a while, he couldn't remember, so Moros gave up and decided to clear his mind and enjoy his wife's caresses.

"A1—A2—A3… Hmm, oh, area B is here, um… Sister Lingji said my tent is B7, let me see where it is? Oh… uh, found it! Here it is!! e?(?＞ ? ＜)? 3"

Lin Xiyue searched carefully for a long time in the densely packed tent area before finally finding the tent that had been assigned to her.

The tents are all standardized multi-functional tents with ample space, enough for about two to four people per tent. They are off-white in color, with a triangular roof, a large window on one side, and a huge door on the other. They are also inflatable and automatically set up, making them very convenient.

"Wow, I'm living in such a big tent all by myself! That's so awesome."

Lin Xiyue opened the tent door and found it empty, except for an inflatable mattress. She happily rushed in and rolled around on the mattress.

"Meow~"

Melos rushed in as well, and rolled around with Lin Xiyue.

Of course, whether he was genuinely rolling around or taking advantage of the situation is a matter of opinion.

........................

Meanwhile, Earl, forgotten by Meros, is awkwardly hiding in the sewers.

When he first flew into a rage and wanted to kill Liu Meng, he didn't think much of it. But after landing on the ground, one of the tentacles of Meros, who had been quietly following him, told him that if too many humans saw his red wave form, he should hand him over to them for research.

Meros sent a message telling him to hide first, and that he would come to pick him up later.

Startled, Earl immediately hid in the sewer and turned into a dog.

"Waaaaah, where are you, Meros! ┭┮﹏┭┮ Why haven't you come to find me yet?"

Earl squatted pitifully in the sewer, next to the stinking ditch of the slum. There were even bedding piled up on the road next to the ditch, indicating that people were still living there.

"I think I'll go outside for a bit. Meros's a clean freak, he probably won't want to come in here. Uo?ェ?oU"

Earl sat there for a while, then decided to walk out of the sewer himself. He had entered the sewer through a drain, and unless he transformed into a wave, he wouldn't be able to get out in his dog form.

He was afraid of being seen, so he had to walk on tiptoe in the sewer. Although he didn't claim to be a germaphobe, he would still feel disgusted if he accidentally stepped in feces or something similar.

Earl walked slowly through the sewers for over an hour without encountering anyone, and he was also hungry, but he still couldn't see a way out.

"Waaaaah, how am I supposed to get out? Should I just fight my way out? As long as I don't change form, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?!"

Earl really didn't want to leave, so he squatted down in front of a wall and thought.

"Ooh! Woof woof woof!!"

Earl suddenly sensed someone's arrival. He was about to speak when he remembered he was a dog. After a moment of stunned silence, he finally remembered how dogs bark.

"Huh?! There's a dog here! (????)?"

The people who came over heard the dog barking and were somewhat surprised.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Earl couldn't speak, but he really wanted someone to take him out right now. At least he could find something to eat outside, or even rummage through the trash! Besides, Meros had said he'd take him! But there was nothing here. He couldn't very well drink the sewer water, could he?!

"Captain, there really is a dog here! And it's a purebred!"

Finally, after much searching and maneuvering, the team that came to check if any survivors had escaped found Earl.

"Xiao Zhou, be careful. Be vigilant. In this situation, you should get scanned first. Many times, many people get into trouble because of carelessness."

A slightly calm voice rang out, sounding like he was in his forties or fifties, giving off a reassuring and reliable feeling.

"Woo woo woo, woo awoo~"

The moment Earl heard the sound, he started to act pitiful, curling up in the corner, no longer caring about the dirt and moss. His tail and ears drooped, and his watery eyes looked towards the source of the sound. The pitifulness and expectation in his eyes were so real.

"Okay Captain!"

The person who first spotted Earl was a young man who looked like he had just graduated from university. He was very energetic, but under the captain's supervision, he still carefully took out the testing kit from about fifty meters away from Earl.

"drop--"

With a beep, the instrument scanned Earl from head to toe.

"Breed: Saint Bernard, Age: Three years, Health: Good (starving), Parasitic status: None"

Thirty seconds later, the instrument displayed Earl's current condition. It was fortunate that the instrument was highly capable, simulating all the possible states of a Saint Bernard; otherwise, the problem would likely have been discovered immediately.

"Yes, it's safe. Go ahead, tie him up, we'll take him away."

The calm voice belonged to the squad leader, who, upon seeing the situation, immediately issued an order.

"Huh? Do I need to tie it up? Doesn't it show there's no problem?"

The young man named Xiao Zhou was puzzled, thinking that this was unnecessary.

"You know, we can't completely trust the instruments, and no one can guarantee that it won't go wrong. And if it goes crazy on the way, or something else happens that frightens it and it gets stressed, it's not convenient for us to take it with us."

The squad leader seemed very experienced, explaining things to Xiao Zhou while preparing to help him tie Earl up.

"Ugh, Awoo! Woof woof woof!"

Earl saw them discussing these things in front of him, but he wasn't interested at all; he felt so hungry he could eat an elephant.

"Hmm, I'll give it some food then. It looks like it's starving. And giving it some food should make it easier to catch it and gain its trust."

Xiao Zhou spoke with a soft heart, then took out a piece of dried meat from his meal.

"Woof woof! (＾?(I)?＾)"

Earl, who was considering whether to run away when he heard that he was going to be tied up, stared wide-eyed at the sight of the large piece of jerky. The moment Xiao Zhou put the jerky on the ground, he rushed over and began to wolf it down.

! ! ! !

The moment Earl rushed over, he startled Xiao Zhou so much that he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Bad dog!"

After seeing Earl eating jerky, Xiao Zhou chuckled and scolded it before slowly approaching to tie the dog up.

Earl glanced at him but didn't resist because of the jerky.

Then it regretted it.

It was tied up by Xiao Zhou in a way that resembled tying up a pig, and the dog was in a terrible state.
