Chapter 0005 still has cats

The noodles were cooked quickly. Hao Ren returned to the living room with this convenient and filling dinner, only to find Lily sitting at the dining table with an eager expression, waiting. Upon catching the aroma of the noodles, she even sniffed vigorously... and flashed a radiant smile at Hao Ren. This feeling... how is it similar to a little dog waiting for food?

"I eat anything!" Lily happily nodded, striding alongside Hao Ren while carrying a large box weighing over a hundred pounds. However, after taking just a couple of steps, she reacted, "Aren't you afraid, landlord? I think ordinary people would definitely be scared in this situation. Have you ever encountered an 'anomaly' before? Hey, landlord, don't worry, I won't hurt anyone! I've seen a lot of movies, and it seems like humans are quite afraid of us..."

"Hmm." Lily nodded vigorously, "I often watch movies. Humans really like to do this. You are very exclusive; aliens in America are sent for dissection, while aliens in China are sent for dissection and then tasted for flavor. How terrifying!"

What happened next left Hao Ren in a state of confusion for a long time

Thus, Lily finally became somewhat quiet, and the two of them traveled in silence until they arrived at the legendary White Stone Road, stopping in front of a two-story small building that appeared to be somewhat old yet quite large in scale.

Listening to the clattering sounds coming from Lily's room, Hao Ren speculated about the strange items packed in her large suitcase. As he cooked noodles, he reflected on his experiences of the day: searching for a job in the city without success, meeting a friendly girl in the park, and coincidentally discovering that she was his new tenant. Then, on the way home with his new tenant, his ordinary life was shattered by supernatural phenomena—werewolves, supernatural powers, and a near-death experience from an attack. That brief encounter of less than ten minutes had completely overturned and reconstructed his worldview built over the past twenty-five years.

However, it seems that Lily did not notice this point; perhaps she has a bit of a fixed mindset, having unilaterally assumed from the very beginning that the bat was coming for her. This can probably be attributed to the fact that this girl is somewhat naive

Of course, he also considered the possibility of the bat returning, but just as he mentioned earlier, he felt that the bat was coming for him—keeping Lily by his side might also serve as a safeguard, after all, even the unreliable Celestial Meteor Brick is stronger in attack power than the rolling pin at home

A layer of security door and a layer of construction door, both locks were somewhat old. Hao Ren exerted considerable effort before successfully opening the door to enter the house. He casually turned on the lights in the living room and turned to invite Lily to come in.

Hao Ren swallowed back the words he had not finished saying: it seemed that the young lady before him was not an "ordinary" girl; she belonged to the free-spirited type

Entering the kitchen, Hao Ren rummaged through the refrigerator to find some dried noodles and a few ingredients. He hummed a tune as he turned on the gas, then recalled the terrifying experience from earlier that evening and decided to take a moment to smoke a cigarette to calm himself down while cooking

"I don't mind, as long as I can sleep!" Lily exclaimed energetically, while also patting her suitcase, "I didn't bring any bedding; this one suitcase can't hold it all."

After locking the front door, Hao Ren began to introduce the layout of the place to Lily: "This can be considered the living room. This house was designed by my father, and the structure is quite innovative, so just understand it as such. On either side of the living room, there are two doors leading to my room and the room I have prepared for you. The door in front leads to a small corridor that connects to the kitchen and the bathroom. Going up the stairs leads to the second floor, which has four empty rooms, but no one is living there at the moment, so you don't need to worry about it. I will first help you put your luggage away—by the way, are you bringing your own bedding or using what is available in the room? Anyway, everything here is quite clean, but girls generally tend to be more particular about this..."

What is the matter with that bat that can transform into a human figure, exuding a bloody and cold aura

He was quite impressed by the scene where Lily had just displayed her prowess, feeling that werewolves, as a "legendary creature," were certainly more formidable than humans. However, he did not expect her to suddenly express concern about being sent for dissection.

Hao Ren pondered for a moment and shockingly concluded that it might be the legendary vampire—after all, he already had a werewolf by his side; could a vampire truly be considered a qualified vampire if it did not engage in a love-hate relationship with a werewolf?

Hao Ren decided not to engage in any serious discussions with this fool anymore

Hao Ren stepped forward to open the door while looking at Lily in surprise: "You are so capable, yet you were afraid of being sent for dissection?"

He thought of the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to be grateful and to repay kindness, he thought of the revolutionary martyrs who dedicated themselves to their cause and the truth, he thought of the first time he bravely resisted the class bully who tried to steal his chocolate in elementary school, he thought of... well, actually he didn't think that much. He just knew one thing: this girl named Lily, although incredible, although "possibly" an extraordinary being, and even possibly not human, was not bad, and she had just saved his life—Hao Ren was one hundred percent certain that the "strange creature" that sometimes transformed into a human and sometimes into a bat had targeted him during its first attack. He knew one thing: this girl named Lily, although incredible, although "possibly" an extraordinary being, and even possibly not human, was not bad, and she had just saved his life—Hao Ren was one hundred percent certain that the "strange creature" that sometimes transformed into a human and sometimes into a bat had targeted him during its first attack, and several times afterward, its attention was also focused on him, that was absolutely certain

Hao Ren felt a dull ache starting in his head again: this girl's true nature was once again revealed, a familiar, simple-minded, stubborn, and talkative fool. He couldn't answer too many things at once, so he could only let out a slight sigh: "Sigh... to be honest, I'm still feeling a bit dazed right now. Please wait for me to go home, have a smoke, and calm down before we continue. Let's discuss everything when we get back."

However, speaking of werewolves... the werewolf girl I encountered seems quite different from the legends. She doesn't have a green face and sharp fangs; in fact, she is rather cute... though a bit silly.

"Let's go, it's getting late." Hao Ren rubbed his legs, which had become somewhat numb from the cold, and took the lead ahead of Lily. "When we get back, I still need to prepare some food for you. By the way, do you eat vegetarian?"

He suddenly recalled the other party's "werewolf" identity and couldn't help but ask another question, which shows that Hao Ren's capacity for acceptance is quite strong

After thinking for half a day without any clue, Hao Ren decided to embrace his carefree and easygoing nature, choosing to put everything aside until after the meal. Lily appeared to be a rather easygoing "werewolf," perhaps she could explain the situation to him, at least providing a direction for him to reconstruct his worldview.

Fortunately, he reacted just in time before lighting a cigarette and quickly turned on the gas stove; otherwise, this book would only have five chapters

She was even forced to reveal her werewolf form

In fact, in this moment, Hao Ren thought of many things

Under Lily's curious gaze, a black and white shadow swiftly darted down from upstairs, then skillfully rushed to Hao Ren's feet, rubbing its head against the latter's shoes: it turned out to be a black and white kitten

Nevertheless, regardless of the circumstances, the girl who calls herself "Werewolf" has saved Hao Ren's life, so he cannot just ignore her. This place is desolate and remote with few inhabitants, and now it is late at night. Lily, being an outsider... If the wolf has no place to stay here, it is likely that he will have to sleep on the streets, and he cannot allow that to happen

Fortunately, the streetlights here have just been replaced; otherwise, it would really look like a ghost street. Hao Ren muttered to himself.

Lily did not ask anyone for help with her luggage, and it was unclear whether it was due to a girl's modesty or simply because she was hungry and anxious: she urged Hao Ren to hurry up and cook, and once again emphasized that she would pay for the meal, which touched Hao Ren quite a bit

Lily, this powerful werewolf, this werewolf that has just overturned his worldview, this werewolf that has already been classified as a "highly mysterious species," jumped up from his chair the moment he saw the black and white kitten, and with a swift motion, darted behind the nearby sofa

The small building is located at the end of this cement road, beyond which lies wasteland, and the surroundings are quite open, marking the boundary between human civilization and the natural realm. Hao Ren often describes his home in this rather impressive manner to demonstrate that his mindset remains youthful, at least retaining a sense of youthful exuberance. On both sides of Baishi Road, there are similarly weathered and old residences, many of which are two or even three stories high. However, more than half of them are desolate, devoid of lights and voices, resembling long-abandoned haunted houses. As this forgotten area in the southern suburbs becomes increasingly desolate, the urban center has consistently failed to shift in this direction, leading more and more local residents to choose to move to the city. Living at the end of the road, Hao Ren can be considered one of the few remaining residents here.

As the two took their seats at the dining table, Lily eagerly grabbed her chopsticks, while Hao Ren suddenly remembered something and quickly shouted towards the staircase: "Come down for dinner!"

This idea may be somewhat disheartening, but in the face of this scene that exceeds the common sense of life, Hao Ren can only plan accordingly; he is quite self-aware.

"Ah? What kind of street is this?" Lily's voice immediately came from the side, truly worthy of a canine, such hearing.

Hao Ren waved his hand to indicate that he was just speaking casually. Lily did not mind; she simply raised her head to look at her soon-to-be rented new home. This silly-looking rectangular old building seemed to satisfy the young girl quite a bit: "Hmm, a good place, not too noisy, and with fewer people around, I won't have to worry about being recognized. Living in human society is quite difficult; I am always worried about being sent for dissection, and there are too many human deceivers. Conflicts never seem to end, and it is very troublesome."

Although Hao Ren is just an ordinary person, he is quite confident and even proud of his intuition and calmness in crisis situations. This is because he has been a mischievous child since he was young, having honed this quality through countless reckless acts such as welding detonators and sawing light bulbs, along with the dangers that followed. Even in the face of life and death just moments ago, he realized that the "bat" was actually coming for him from the very beginning
