Chapter 348: The Quill That Has to Write Something
Lynn was shocked.
Holy crap!
Holy crap indeed!
This was something Lynn absolutely hadn't anticipated—this Dog-Eared Girl's curse release was actually continuous!
But since he was already in close quarters, he absolutely could not let this opportunity slip away.
Gritting his teeth, he quickly extended his miniature tentacles, wrapping them around her body with a rustling sound. His two cat paws forcefully pressed her hands to the ground, pinning her down in a "ground press."
"Calm down! Calm down! Miaomiao, listen to me, you're not a dog, you're a proper, legitimate cat, meow!"
"If you don't believe me, look at me. If you were a dog, then why aren't I afraid of you? Aren't cats supposed to be afraid of dogs, meow? Since I'm not afraid of you, that proves you're not a dog, meow!"
But the Dog-Eared Girl in her out-of-control state simply couldn't hear a single word.
"Meow!"She roared.
A series of System notification sounds immediately rang in Lynn's ears.
The cat transformation curse within his body also instantly stacked to 10 layers!
And after reaching 10 layers, Lynn immediately discovered that his formidable Constitution was no longer capable of restraining this Dog-Eared Girl.
His attributes had been reduced too severely.
"Oww-meow—"
Accompanied by a sharp cat cry, the Dog-Eared Girl's sharp claws swiped out with a whoosh, directly slapping Lynn away for dozens of meters.
[Ding! Your attempt to violate Miaomiao has sent the target into a state of rage. The target will now commence a continuous pursuit of you!]
Lynn felt a headache coming on.
He quickly scrambled up from the ground.
In the distance, the Dog-Eared Girl's fur was standing on end all over her body, her eyes blood-red, as she meowed and charged towards him in pursuit.
"I'll kill you, meow!"
Just as expected! In this cat state, combat power is reduced way too severely, meow!
And this Dog-Eared Girl, she doesn't have a curse inside her at all;
she's that type of anomalous being who can make everyone else get cursed, meow!
Gritting his teeth, Lynn quickly got up and sprinted madly deeper into the corridor.
Thinking of his own illustrious reputation throughout his life...
Who would have thought that in this damn place, he'd actually get chased by a dog, meow!
However, while other attributes were severely reduced, fortunately his Agility attribute hadn't dropped, so he still had the advantage in speed.
Lynn steadied himself and quickly shook off the Dog-Eared Girl behind him.
His gaze abruptly landed on a certain patient room opposite him.
[002]
That's right!
This is the one!
Without another word, Lynn quickly jumped onto the door handle, extended his sharp claws, inserted his nails into the lock, and carefully listened for the sound.
A few seconds later.
Click—
The door opened.
[Ding! Your lockpicking experience +1]
As expected, this old skill can't be forgotten!
Lynn smiled slightly, quickly pushed the door open and rushed inside, then immediately locked it from the inside.
Under the effect of night vision, Lynn immediately saw the layout of the room clearly.
It was overall very simple: only a desk, a chair, and several bookshelves lined up against the two side walls. The bookshelves held one thick book after another.
"Is this Room 002?"
Lynn wondered.
He quickly jumped onto the desk.
Then he immediately saw an apparently unfinished book lying on the desk, with a quill pen placed on top of it.
And at this very moment, that quill pen was rapidly writing something on the book's pages.
Lynn was astonished.
He instinctively walked over, his paw leaving a plum blossom print on the page.
The quill pen, which had been writing furiously, suddenly stopped.
A panel for that quill pen also appeared before Lynn's eyes.
[The Quill Pen That Must Write Something]
[Level]: ???
[Race]: Special Rumor-Class Entity.
[Alignment]: True Neutral
[Combat Ability]: It just wants a quiet desk.
[Introduction]: A quill pen that fell from who-knows-which world. It cannot communicate verbally and does not possess strong offensive capabilities, but it has a characteristic of being difficult to destroy. It can engage in creation anywhere and never stops. When it is creating, please be sure not to disturb it, otherwise it will write you into the book...
Lynn: "???!"
And in the very next moment.
After pausing briefly, that quill pen rapidly wrote a line of characters on the page with a swishing sound.
"A tomcat from who-knows-where attempts to disturb a writer's work. It leaves a plum blossom print on the writer's book, unaware that it has already caught the attention of that cat-loving writer, and was vigorously petted by the writer for two minutes ♫♡"
Lynn was taken aback.
And almost at that exact moment, Lynn immediately felt, to his shock, that he was being controlled in place by an indescribable force.
It seemed as if an invisible pair of hands in the room suddenly picked him up from the desk and began continuously stroking his head and back.
How could this be?!
Lynn was astounded.
Without another word, Lynn immediately, in a flustered and exasperated manner, extended his claws, swiping and scratching, trying to break free from the effect of that intangible force.
On the desk, that quill pen began writing slowly again.
"But the cat is not obedient. It struggles continuously, intending to escape the writer's embrace. It does not wish to be petted. However, even the fiercest cat will become docile under the writer's gentle strokes. Even this adorable tabby cat is no exception."
And the moment after that pen finished writing that sentence.
Lynn immediately felt a calming force that made his entire body relax all at once. And the intangible hands stroking him seemed to carry a soothing magic as well.
It was as if a gentle, bookish big sister was holding you in her arms, using her slender, jade-like hands to stroke your back, one stroke after another.
For a moment, he actually felt...
Very comfortable!
[Ding! Lynn's SAN -20!]
Lynn instantly snapped awake, breaking out in a cold sweat all over. That eerie, hair-raising feeling grew more and more intense.
This pen was too bizarre! It was simply the most bizarre thing he had ever encountered in his life.
Could the things it writes actually warp reality?!
But he immediately calmed down.
It seems this pen should be the [002] recorded in the files.
And judging from the System's introduction, this pen doesn't fall into the evil category. That is to say, unless it is strongly provoked, it probably wouldn't write that kind of extremely terrifying text, right?
For example: The writer wants to strangle the cat in her arms.
Lynn's gaze flickered rapidly as he tried hard to suppress the creepy feeling in his heart, letting that intangible hand continue to stroke his fur.
He had to think of some countermeasures.
If [002] is this pen...
Then could [002·8] be the eighth book it wrote?
Lynn's gaze immediately fell upon the thick books placed on the bookshelves.
And at this very moment, the quill pen on the desk began writing again.
"The adorable tabby cat, being petted, lets out comfortable purring sounds. The kitty becomes tame and obedient. He meows at the writer to show affection, even licks the writer's cheek, and affectionately acts cute."
Lynn shuddered.
