Elizabeth only went to bed at 5 am with her bloodshot eyes.
Spirit cat was wiping the mucus off of its face, and it continued crying. "Why did the devil have to choose Aya out of everyone else?"
It reverted to its original form as it fiddled with Elizabeth"s phone. They were only halfway through the entire series. Suddenly, it felt its whole body turned limp.
"Oh no, I"ve not eaten for the entire day."
Spirit cat could not stay in its spirit form for an infinite amount of time. In spirit form, spirit cat could not ingest or excrete. Hence, it had to revert to its normal body after each transformation to satisfy its biological needs.
Spirit cat turned to its spirit form before going round the entire apartment to ensure that the coast was clear. It first went to Zhao Yao"s room and saw that he was sleeping soundly with Matcha snoring at his feet.
Next, he went to Baiquan"s room and saw him sleeping peacefully.
Roly Poly was lying in the living room, while catmint remnants surrounded Dust Ball. Elizabeth just crashed by the window with the phone beside her face.
Spirit cat grinned as it realized that everyone was all in a deep sleep. It reverted to its original form.
He was a grey and white Exotic Shortfur. From the looks of it, it had a pretty thick neck and a flat face which resembled a Persian cat. Its eyes were round and big.
In its tangible form, it could finally feel the soothing sensation of Celestial Beats.
"Hmmmmm," Spirit cat moaned with pleasure and wondered, "What happened? Why is this so comfortable? Whose ability is it?"
Spirit cat could not identify the owner of this incredible power and gave up thinking about it. It rushed towards the cat feeding machine and pressed the "on" b.u.t.ton. It took a sniff and had a few bites of the cat food.
Spirit cat"s face immediately turned into a frown, "This food is quite bad." Spirit cat had already been used to the mouth-watering cat food at Ho Hao Cang"s mansion. To spirit cat, the ordinary cat food was lacking in both taste and texture.
It then made a beeline to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. It instantly spotted the cheesecake on the top shelf.
"Hmm? Cake?" Spirit cat could not help but licked its lips as it stomach growled, "Ho Hao Cang always eats this secretly at home, he doesn"t even allow us to eat it."
Spirit cat"s hunger only intensified after it reverted to his normal self.
20 minutes later, spirit cat burped as it started grooming itself. It began with its paws, and then moved on to its face, back, belly and finally its b.u.t.t.
A cat"s natural cycle consisted of hunting, eating, grooming and sleeping. Domestic cats had to replace their hunting with playing. Hence, the grooming activities after eating became even more important as a form of relaxation.
Spirit cat retained its habits even after awakening its superpower. It had already groomed itself for thirty minutes as it looked at the empty packaging in front of it. It wanted to dispose of the empty packaging but decided to remove a sticker on the box before disposing of it.
"I must never let them discover who ate the cake!" To maintain its presence a secret, spirit cat decided to push the blame to Roly Poly by pasting the sticker on his belly. Roly Poly was immersed in the soothing music of Celestial Beats and did not notice spirit cat.
The next morning, Zhao Yao crawled out of his bed and rubbed Matcha"s belly and said, "Time to wake up."
"One more minute! Let me sleep for just one more minute!" Matcha wagged his tail before going back to sleep again.
Zhao Yao walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. His jaw dropped when he saw the contents of the refrigerator, "What happened to the cheesecake that I bought yesterday?" He craned his neck and asked, "Baiquan, did you see my cheesecake?"
"Huh, didn"t you eat it last night?" Baiquan asked curiously, "I did not see it since this morning. I thought you ate it last night."
"Hmm," Zhao Yao"s eyebrows knitted together as he thought, "It wasn"t Baiquan or me. This means one of the cats stole the cheesecake last night."
Zhao Yao"s ice-cold stare swept across the hall. Roly Poly jumped up and shouted, "It wasn"t me. It wasn"t me. I didn"t eat the cheesecake."
Zhao Yao doubted Roly Poly"s words as he was literally the biggest suspect in the apartment.
"Roly Poly, if you ate it, you can just tell me honestly. I won"t blame you."
Roly Poly replied, "It wasn"t me. I didn"t even open the fridge."
Zhao Yao walked towards Roly Poly and removed the sticker from Roly Poly"s belly and placed it in front of his face.
Roly Poly immediately froze before he started rubbing his body against Zhao Yao"s legs, "Zhao Yao, you have to trust me! It wasn"t me! I would admit it if I ate it!"
Seeing Roly Poly"s dramatic plea, Zhao Yao began to doubt his deduction.
He suddenly remembered the security camera which he had installed in the apartment. However, he discovered that Roly Poly was hiding in a blind spot and there were no cameras in the kitchen. He still did not know who the culprit was.
Even though he could not confirm that Roly Poly was not the culprit, he still decided to come up with some precautionary measures. He instructed Baiquan, "Lock the kitchen"s door from today onwards, only the two of us can open it from now on."
Roly Poly lowered his head, and he was boiling with anger, "A*shole, I really did not eat it. If I find out who ate it and pushed the blame on me, I"m going to let the person know that he messed with the wrong cat." Roly Poly squinted his eyes as he scanned from Matcha to Elizabeth to Dust Ball. Roly Poly thought, "It must have been them! They pushed the blame on me while they enjoyed the delicious cheesecake."
The two humans and four cats prepared for work after their breakfast. They no longer had to get an Uber because Zhao Yao had retrieved his Panamera from Dust Ball"s belly. Upon reaching, the four supercats hid in a corner and took a nap while Zhao Yao retreated to his usual corner.
Half an hour later, spirit cat floated to Zhao Yao"s side and watched him play PlayerUnknown"s Battlegrounds.
In the game, Zhao Yao crouched on the floor with guns slung behind his back. He wore a helmet and was crawling forward.
This game became extremely popular recently. Zhao Yao decided to give it a try after his ex-cla.s.smates recommended it to him.
The gameplay was not complicated. It was a first-person shooting game, and there were one hundred players in each round. The game started with the players being thrown into an abandoned island with nothing on them. They had to collect resources on the island and fought against other gamers.
Even though the gameplay was not complicated, there were a lot of guns for players to choose from. The terrain was unique and customizable which attracted many to it.
Spirit cat which floated behind Zhao Yao was also attracted by the contents of the game, with its eyes glued to Zhao Yao"s laptop screen.
