Chapter 209
Xinghai had entered the ventilation pipe, which was a very strange environment for her . The pipe was a straight channel made up of cold metal walls . Cool wind from outside was breezing through the channel and touching her cheeks gently .


Xinghai bowed down and noticed that the metal wall below was covered with a thin layer of dust, and several rows of paw prints of small animals could be seen from one end to the other end of the pipe, and they disappeared at the corner . The paw prints were very messy, which were leading in both directions of the pipe, and it seemed that the paw prints belonged to different little animals .
Xinghai lifted one of her paws and tilted her head to stare at the prints for a few seconds, then put her paw alongside one of them . The sizes seemed very similar, as were the shapes .
"Bad kids . . . " Xinghai muttered .
Suddenly, an anxious voice was heard from below the pipe, "Xinghai! Where are you?"
The metal walls had distorted the sound, but she immediately recognized that it was Zhang Zian's voice .
Xinghai shouted, "Zian! Xinghai is in the pipe now!"
She stared at the metal wall, quietly waiting for Zhang Zian's response .
"Be careful, Xinghai . "
Xinghai was a little bit disappointed . She was waiting for his praise . But his concern for her was not bad .
Was there really anything she should beware of in the pipe? She was the only creature in there, with the floating dust in the air, the shallow paw prints on the metal walls, and a few small hairs in the colors of white, black, yellow, and gray . . .
"What should I do next?"
Xinghai thought very hard but still had no clues . She offered to go into the pipe because she believed she could help Zhang Zian, but she didn’t know what exactly she should do after entering the pipe .
She felt very stupid, especially when compared to Fina and Old Time Tea . She envied them . If they were here, they would make their moves without hesitation . Old Time Tea was always calm, no matter what happened . It would just smile and solve the problems with its great wisdom and excellent martial arts techniques . Fina only cared for shiny things, and was indifferent to other people and things . . . perhaps Zhang Zian was an exception .
What should I do? Should I go out and ask Zian, Fina and Old Time Tea and come back again?
"Meow —I feel so embarrassed!"
Xinghai tried to wrinkle her nose like Old Time Tea did, but she did not smell anything strange - perhaps there was indeed something, but she couldn’t tell . After all, she was not a real cat, so her sense of smell was not as delicate as a real cat’s .
"I’ll try go this side first . If there is any danger, I’ll run away . "


Xinghai looked down again at the paw prints, among which one row seemed fairly clear and new . It seemed that the animal who left that row of paw prints marched from the front side of Xinghai to her rear side . Xinghai decided to follow that row of paw prints .
The channel was long and dark, which made Xinghai feel that she was back in the horrible black box again . If the pipe got even darker and narrower, she would not be able to stand it and would escape . Even now, she already felt frightened, as if she was entering a never-ending tunnel, which would become increasingly narrower, and she would be completely trapped in the end .

Xinghai did not want to go back outside so soon because she felt really embarrassed . Zian would console her that her safety was the most important thing, and everything else came second . But she still felt disgraced . Besides, she really hoped that those bad kids would realize that they had made mistakes, and she wanted them to know that, if they stop stealing and become good kids, they would encounter people who genuinely liked them .
Xinghai carefully stepped forward . She looked down at the paw prints, and then looked up at the front side, where a dim light could be seen . It was the weak sunshine after being refracted several times . She missed her leisure time at the pet shop, where she could take a nap comfortably under the warm sunshine, where if something occurred, Fina and Old Time Tea would solve it .
She could vaguely hear Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea talking from across the metal wall . Their voices made her feel at ease .
She walked step-by-step towards one end of the pipe, and the light became increasingly bright, while Zhang Zian's voice was getting weaker and weaker .
A fork in the road .
The ventilation pipe divided into four directions, leading forward, to the left, to the right, and to the above, respectively .


Xinghai looked above where the light came from . From the roof far away, accompanied by a low buzz, the ventilation fan was rotating at a constant speed, sending down fresh air into the pipe continually, and mincing the straight sunrays into everchanging mottled lights and shadows .
She squatted at the fork, looking blankly at the three paths leading forward, to the left and to the right . Which one should she choose? Each path had paw prints on them . She wanted to try all three paths, but she was afraid that she would never find her way home if she got lost .
This building was so huge and complicated, just like a maze . Zhang Zian was like a small grain of sand in this maze, and Xinghai was another grain, but smaller .
But she must choose a direction! If she quit now, her previous efforts will have been wasted .
Right then, she heard a faint sound .
Scratch . . .
Liked something sharp was scratching on the metal .
Xinghai found this sound familiar . It was like the sound that Fina’s claws made when she scratched across the metal bowl when she lost her temper because the food tasted poor .
The sound came from the channel in front of her, so she decided to choose this path . However, when she tried to take a step forward, her body was blocked, as if an invisible wall was in front of her .
Xinghai stuck out her paw to press against the invisible wall . The air could flow through it, the dust was falling from it, but Xinghai simply could not pass through it .
She remembered a similar situation that had happened to the newcomer, the parrot elfin, at the roof of the pet shop, as if he was confined by some setting of the game . Even for the intelligent Old Time Tea, it also took it a long time before it could leave Zhang Zian freely .
"What should I do?"
Another sound came from far away, from the front path .
Xinghai did not want to wait anymore, thinking about what she was not good at . She closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she had teleported quite a distance forward, leaving the fork road far behind her . She was now on the other side of that invisible confinement . No new paw prints were left on the floating dust in the metal passage, but the air had contracted and then expanded due to her sudden disappearance and reappearance, bringing a tiny whirlpool that was invisible to the naked eye .
"Xinghai is the best hide-and-seek player," she whispered to herself .
She trotted in towards the direction where the sound came from .
At the same time, inside his pocket, Zhang Zian’s phone screen became bright . The Pet Hunter Game initiated automatically . The game’s interface flashed a few times as if it had been interfered with . And then the game terminated automatically .
The screen became dark again, as if nothing had happened .
