The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

"?! You...you...pfft! (≧?≦)?"

Xiao Zhou saw that the dog was covered in dust and its mouth was stuffed up, but it was trying very hard to move its body away from him, panting heavily. It seemed that it was very worried that he would eat it, which made Xiao Zhou laugh in exasperation.

"Pfft, don't worry, I won't eat you. But... you're so smart, you're probably not an ordinary dog. Hmm, looks like I'll have to observe you a bit more before I can untie you."

Xiao Zhou stood up with a smile, preparing to catch the dog as he spoke. After all, although it seemed a bit dim-witted, its intelligence and ability to understand human speech already made it a dog that needed careful attention.

"?! Waaaaaah! Ugh! Waaaaah!! ↗↘↗"

Earl felt even worse and moved faster toward the outside.

Putting everything else aside, what if he couldn't help but kill everyone present, thus ruining Meros's plan? Wouldn't Meros be furious with him? Besides, he couldn't outsmart those scheming people; their hearts were all dirty.

"Hey, hey, hey! No, no..."

"boom--"

"Ugh, Awooo! Waaaaah!"

Xiao Zhou watched as it wriggled around, about to hit a concrete post. Just as he was about to speak to stop it, he saw the dog run headfirst into it.

Well, a good-sounding head is a good head, and Earl's head is definitely a good head.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people? Quick, let's go take a look! ヾ(●′?｀●)"

A girl rang out from the edge of the crowd, and then Lin Xiyue, carrying a cat, struggled to squeeze through the crowd.

"Huh, it's a dog? Are we going to kill it? We should have enough relief food, right? Surely not. ?)?Д?( )"

They found a dog lying on the ground, whimpering and crying, with a handkerchief that had been vomited up somewhere next to its head.

"Oh, no. It misunderstood. The child is just being silly and only asked a question."

Xiao Zhou quickly explained that he was a full-time employee and couldn't afford to lose his job because of a complaint!

"Oh, I see. Hmm? Amo, what's wrong?"

Lin Xiyue was suddenly grabbed by Molos in her arms, and quickly looked down at him.

"Meow, meow, meow meow meow."

Meros shouted and gestured.

"Hmm? Hmm, hmm. Okay, okay, I understand. Don't worry."

Lin Xiyue looked like she understood, but she was actually looking at the terminal on her wrist.

Before she came, she had a small typewriter that Melos had assembled for him temporarily, which was connected to her terminal so that Melos could type and send messages to her.

After reading the message that Moros had typed for her, Lin Xiyue walked towards the dog.

"Earl, is that you?"

Lin Xiyue squatted down in front of Earl, holding the cat.

"Hmm? Hmm! SH—Awoo! Woof woof woof!"

When Earl heard someone call his name, he was so excited he almost blurted out human language. Fortunately, Meros, who knew him very well, poked him with a hidden tentacle. This made him swallow the words that were about to come out and bark a few times to cover it up.

Is this your dog?

When Xiao Zhou saw Lin Xiyue come over and call the dog's name, and the dog reacted so strongly, he hurriedly came over to ask.

"Yes, that's right. This dog is my cat's little brother. Look how good they are together."

Lin Xiyue pointed to the cat that had run up to Earl's head and was punching him with meows, and said to Xiao Zhou with a smile.

"Oh, I see. Well, we can't just give you the cat like this. We need to register it first."

Xiao Zhou said this with some hesitation, seemingly unsure whether to do it, while looking up at his captain who had been watching the commotion from the beginning.

“Well done. Let’s go, miss. We do need to register, for everyone’s safety.”

The team leader first encouraged Xiao Zhou, and then spoke earnestly to Lin Xiyue.

"(⊙o⊙)...Okay, okay, but could you untie it first? It's not comfortable like this, and it really makes people think it's about to be killed."

Lin Xiyue expressed her understanding, but she really couldn't stand seeing Earl in his current state.

Its long fur was dirty in patches, and it was hard to tell where it had gotten dirty water. In some places, the fur was tangled in clumps. Combined with its pitiful look, really, who could bear to keep it tied up?

“Awoo~ woowoo~~utェtu”

Earl stared at Xiao Zhou with his bright, watery dog ​​eyes, wanting him to untie him.

"Um, Captain, this..."

Now, both pairs of dog eyes are fixed on the captain, which has increased the pressure on him.

"Hmm... as long as you can promise not to run around, then we can tie a rope to you and have someone lead you to the registration office. After all, now that you're confirmed to be taken, it's really not good to carry you around like this."

After thinking for a while, the squad leader agreed to the request to untie him.

"Okay! \(^o^)/~"

Xiao Zhou happily agreed and then quickly untied Earl.

"Ow~"

After being untied, Earl didn't run around. He just stood up and shook his fur. Then, looking happy, he walked up to Lin Xiyue with his cat head on, seemingly not going anywhere even without a leash.

This scene further convinced Xiao Zhou and the captain that this must be Lin Xiyue's dog. Before they knew it, it was also the first time Lin Xiyue had ever seen this dog.

"Let's go register first. Everyone around, disperse! Someone will be distributing supplies later. If you keep crowding around, you might not get any supplies!"

The captain first handed the rope to Xiao Zhou, signaling him to tie a tow rope, and then shouted to the people around him, since there was a risk of danger with so many people watching.

"cut--"

When the people around heard that supplies were going to be distributed, they immediately scattered.

……

Lin Xiyue, holding a cat in one arm and leading a dog on the other, followed Xiao Zhou and the others to the registration desk.

To be honest, if Lin Xiyue had a bird perched on her shoulder, she would look no different from a landlord taking a stroll.

"arrive."

Pushing open the door, I saw Ling Yan, the person in charge of registration, sitting in his seat scratching his head, clearly restless. He was responsible for checking for dangerous items and maintaining order, after all, his combat skills were undeniable.

"Hey? Mr. Lin, what are you doing here? You shouldn't have anything to register, right? Oh? You've got a dog with you too!"

Lingyan sat idly in a spot where he could see the entire hall. There were many tables in the other areas, with many staff members sitting behind them to register items. There were also many people queuing in front of each table, all there to register their items.

Therefore, Lingyan saw Lin Xiyue enter at a glance.
