Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Shining Lights
The lights flashed, and the carousel spun round.
The puppet cat on the canopy stood up, arched its body, yawned, and let out a long, “meow~~~”
The voice was sharp and high pitched, clearly audible to Shen Mo and Bai Youwei in the room, even with the surrounding din of music!
Mary, on the cat’s back, also yawned.
She rubbed her eyes, stretched out her slender white arms, grabbed the cat by the tip of an ear, and complained like a short-tempered little girl:
“Alright, stop sleeping! You lazy feline! It’s hide and seek time, get up!”
Mary, riding on the cat’s neck, tugged at the cat forcefully.
Roused by this, the puppet cat let out a “meow”, and leaped off the carousel with Mary on its back—
“Where is everyone?” the little girl sitting on the puppet cat’s back said, her bright face bearing a malicious grin, “Aha~ I just love hide and seek! I love the expressions on your faces when you are found. They are such a joy!”
Her slow gaze swept over the place, her smile full of pleasure, “I see you guys~~ You really don’t know how to hide!”
Shen Mo by the window squinted his eyes, watching the outside unblinkingly.
The puppet cat had already stepped on a trap.
The netting, taken as a decoration from the pirate ship on Adventure Island, was suspended five or six centimeters off the ground, and was now entangling one of the cat’s feet. The cat raised its foot irritably, and ripped free from the net!
The long mast rigged at both ends of the net were pulled in, converging on the middle!
Mary let out a yelp, and the cat dodged swiftly!
Escaping the plight of the mast, yet triggering the second trap set by Yan Qingwen!—
The big red chairs initially set on the flying chairs were launched like red bullets, one after another!
The puppet cat dodged the first one, but was hit in succession by the second and third ones! It let out a wail and fell on the side of the road! Mary also failed to escape! She got hit by the fourth red chair hard on her shoulder!
“Ah!!!” She got up, yelling in anger, “You players are too bad! Too bad!!! I’m going to let my cat catch all of you! Tear you guys into pieces!!!”
“Meow!” The cat also cried as if to echo her.
The next second, the puppet cat adjusted its direction and headed straight for Fantasy Street!
Shen Mo was taken aback.
At first, he thought it was a coincidence, but when he discovered that Mary and the cat were unmistakably heading in his direction, his heart skipped a beat! He quickly moved to the cashier counter, picked up Bai Youwei in an instant!
“What’s wrong?!” Bai Youwei asked in surprise.
From her hiding place below, she could not see what was happening outside, and had no idea that Mary and the cat were already coming their way!
Shen Mo, holding her, jumped out of the window from the other side and took a few hurried steps, sprinted into the candy store next door, and replied, “Mary knows where we are!”
“What?” Bai Youwei was taken aback, “Did she find us so soon?”
“No, she didn’t look!” Shen Mo looked around. This time, instead of choosing the cashier counter, he placed her behind the door and dragged over an indoor plant to cover her. Then, he turned around and jumped out of the window again!
At the same time, as the cat’s roar came through and the roof thundered with the sound of something heavy running over it, as if a monster ran across the roof!
Through the gaps in the leaves, Bai Youwei saw a giant puppet cat leaping down from the roof and landing with a thud!
The angry little girl atop the cat yelled, “Catch him quick! You stupid cat! Catch him and don’t let him escape!!!”
Shen Mo dashed into the toy store.
Mary and the cat also rushed after him!
The large figure rammed the store door, shattering the glass with a crash! Inside, sometimes came the sound of the shelves collapsing and sometimes Mary’s shrill roars!
Bai Youwei couldn’t see what was going on inside!
