Chapter 1626 Cat and Mouse
Lu Ping'an in his previous life had no experience of traveling to Sakurajima, but as a teenager from that era who had tried a lot of anime and games, he had some understanding of its culture.
Back then, I actually thought about taking my girlfriend there to travel and watch COS, but it was definitely not the kind of COS seen in front of me.
"Reclaim the land, 1, 2."
"Defend the country, 1, 2."
"Don't forget the national humiliation, 1, 2."
"Yamato is invincible. 1, 2. Louder, do it again."
When a group of students who looked underage ran over shouting Sakurajima's slogan, they were wearing old Sakura-style samurai armor, which looked quite magical no matter how you looked at it.
Looking around, similar scenes can be seen everywhere: too many young figures, who clearly lack exercise, but are wearing weapons that appear too old and bulky.
All the people are soldiers? Well, at least, all the people are in reserve. They may really be ready to burn all the new blood. No wonder no matter how many expatriates come here, more people still choose to leave this city.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but think of an old joke he saw on the forum in his previous life. If an island sank, their survivors could live well by doing entertainment and animation.
But the reality is far more cruel than the joke of hell. When it really comes to this point, the mentality has long been blown away, the pressure of survival is full, and there is a possibility of being obsessed with entertainment.
"One person joins the army, the whole family is honored!"
"Join us. Not only will you be able to become a transcendent without any danger to your life, but you will also receive a high salary as a reward."
"Now is a turning point in history. We will definitely be able to return to our hometown."
The military's propaganda videos were played in turn on the big stage on the street. After this, local politicians gave speeches. As the person who had met Lu Ping'an before left, another speaker came up.
Looking at some cute animated soldier images and cartoon fishmen with the word "bad guy" written on their faces in the promotional videos, Lu Ping'an finally understood what those people working in the animation industry are doing now.
In fact, they have made some animations and movies in recent years, but the taste has become stranger.
"Meow, boring, not good-looking meow."
Maomao leaned against Lu Ping'an, with his arched body pressing directly on his head, holding a few game discs and anime in his hands, with a look of disgust on his face.
"All the anime before the war are old ones, I've seen them all. All the anime after the war are not good, they are either about war or defending the country, they are all crazy."
Maomao complained a lot. She was really looking forward to this trip. She heard that this was the largest gathering place and cultural center for Sakura people. She had already prepared to do a lot of shopping.
As a result, I also visited the electronics town Shin-Akihabara, but it was just a short street, and it was deliberately made to look like the past, as a tourist attraction to "remember the past."
There are only three or four stores related to animation and games, and most of the things there are second-hand goods brought from hometown, and they are sold at very high prices. There are only a few new cultural products, and most of them are sponsored by the local government. Each one is more propaganda-like than the other, and each one has uglier characters than the other with stiff plots.
".You can't expect them to produce cultural products to make you laugh when they are about to be extinct."
Lu Ping'an is quite open-minded and doesn't like this kind of entertainment as much as Maomao.
In fact, he only found out about Maomao's rather peculiar personal hobby not long ago, and she actually hid it quite well. This girl especially likes to collect old cartoons, especially peripheral dolls with various cute animals.
This girl seems to be naughty and playful, but in fact she clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. She only indulges in her hobbies when she is settling down on a long journey. Also because she is used to traveling, she has developed a hobby of periodically collecting various video products.
But when Lu Ping'an thought back, this seemed to be natural.
Her experience back then was quite bad, and probably only a few people like Lu Ping'an knew about it. When she was locked up, her favorite cartoon was "Tom and Jerry". The "spiritual cat" with super powers may have originated from the cat that could not die and whose soul could escape.
".No, meow, I'm not happy for coming here for nothing! If I had known, I would have rested at home. It's clearly my rest time!!"
The cat had a bitter face and rubbed against Lu Ping'an. It didn't matter that she was just a small bun, but now her plump and fleshy curves were deformed on Lu Ping'an, which made him smile bitterly.
This is not a reaction from Lu, even though the big ball has already hit his face.
"You can't X anything, right?"
"Ahem." A mysterious sound floated from a corner.
"Uh, can't X kitten uh, X stupid cat."
Only after adding this sentence did it become completely silent. Fortunately, the little silly cat couldn't hear the words in his heart, otherwise he would have started biting.
The cat was still rolling around on Lu Ping'an as if it had no bones, but Lu had a calm expression on his face.
He has indeed started to eat meat in the past two years, but some cats are still just cats no matter how close they are.
".Stop messing around. Have you finished your business? Aren't you here to catch your brother?"
"Humph, that guy is just like a mouse. He ran away when he smelled me, meow."
Maomao's brother, the seeker of the god of justice, the ice warrior who could kill people indiscriminately with rule-level weapons, is said to also appear in this area.
After all, on the one hand, there is no shortage of lawbreakers here, and it is also the most suitable place for him to practice with his ice attribute. As a wanted criminal, it is also very convenient for him to move around on the border.
But from the perspective of Lu Ping An, the main reason is
"Did you push him too hard? I heard that you chased him for more than 600 kilometers last time."
"That's not enough meow! This time I find him, I'm going to make him travel around the East Country meow!!"
The cat puffed up its cheeks, and although the threat was cute, it was also deadly.
With the changes over the years, the wanted criminal Lei's brother, who was enough to threaten the city back then, is no longer a match for his sister. If the "King of Killing Cat" is famous even in the rule-level field, and Lei's brother follows his normal growth trajectory, it is unknown how far he is from the real quasi-rule level.
Maomao doesn't want to kill his brother, nor does he want to catch him, but Maomao wants to watch his brother escape around Dongguo and watch him do the Ironman Decathlon Meow!
"Another episode of 'Tom and Jerry'? Take it easy and don't really kill him. He was lucky to survive last time. The gap between you and him in strength is even bigger. Be careful to show mercy."
Lu Ping'an sighed. He still couldn't take care of housework.
In fact, as far as he understood, Maomao had very weak moral and legal awareness, and from the beginning he did not think there was anything wrong with committing a crime for revenge.
She was angry because her brother had abandoned her that year, and he did it for her own good. Not to mention the separation of private morality and public law, she simply couldn't understand it, and didn't want to understand it. She only knew that the bastard brother found a reason to abandon her and even gave her the "reputation" of being the sister of a criminal. If Lu Ping'an and Sister Xia hadn't helped her that year,
"Not only that, meow! In all these years, he has never come to see me on his own initiative, meow!"
The grown-up "little girl" was messing up Lu Ping'an's hair, and he could only sigh.
".He came to you, is he too long to live?"
In fact, the first few times that Maomao came back, Lei Huo Ren watched her from the corner. But after being discovered one time, he beat her up and chased her for hundreds of kilometers. Next time, he only dared to watch her from afar with a telescope.
But with the significant improvement in the cat's strength, now let alone a telescope, the perception brought by the sight can allow it to immediately lock onto the observer.
Now, as long as there is one city, you will definitely not be able to escape the cat's perception.
And now, isn't Thunderfire Blade in this city? Why hasn't Cat Cat started chasing him yet?
"Don't worry, meow. Let him bring more food so he can chase further, meow!"
A cat with evil taste, ready to play with its prey.
Sure enough, the cat had actually found him a long time ago and the other party should also be preparing supplies for escape.
And Lu Ping'an did not try to stop him at all. In fact, he also discovered that Lei Huo Ren was probably also "enjoying" this level of brother-sister interaction.
It is impossible for the two sides to reconcile because the wanted warrant caused by the bloody incident is still there. Even though those who are sacrificed to the God of Justice are basically villains, above the law, the lynch executioner is still a villain who must be hunted down.
If the cat and mouse make peace with each other or even provide shelter for the victim, then it would be a crime of harboring the victim. If caught, the brother of the Lei family should also be sentenced to death. Thus, the story of the cat and mouse, always chasing the mouse that can never be caught, continues.
However, these are all the ideas of Lei's brother. How could Maomao care about human laws and rules? She just thinks that her brother is still crazy and is abandoning kittens without blood or tears.
“Don’t play with me.” What else could Lu Ping’an say but to wish them the best.
