Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 220 A Cat Named Tom
"I told you a long time ago that you can't drink Coke." Xing Tianyu laughed when he saw the black cat's funny expression.

"I'm just not used to the taste," it said, looking into the freezer with a pair of small eyes, "I'd better bring me some milk."

Nangong Yan hurriedly brought it a bowl of milk, the black cat took a sip and nodded: "This is better, so have you thought about my name?"

"I'm thinking about it," Nangong Yan said, and suddenly glanced at Xing Tianyu next to her, "Do you have any suggestions—creative consultant?"

Xing Tianyu looked at the black cat, "How about calling it Tom?"

Nangong Yan's eyes lit up: "Tom—ha, that's a good name." She smiled and looked at the black cat, "Then Tom, are you full? If you are full, we will give you some tests .”

The black cat licked its paws, seemed to be relishing the taste of food, and seemed to be thinking about something. It turned around and walked towards Nangong Yan, but deliberately made a detour. When passing a workbench , Its paw stepped on the remote control of the automatic door intentionally or unintentionally, and the door of the laboratory was opened immediately, and the black cat strung out the door without hesitation.

"No, stop it!" Nangong Yan exclaimed and hurriedly wanted to stop it, but before it was too late, when Tom was about to run out, a black snake-like thing suddenly wrapped him upright.

That Tom screamed, froze in mid-air, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, but it was Xing Tianyu who subdued Tom with a black tentacle just in the nick of time.

Xing Tianyu rushed forward, grabbed the back of Tom's neck, and then released the black tentacles.

"Where do you want to go, little cat?"

As soon as the black tentacles were released, the black cat immediately struggled desperately, screaming while struggling.

"Let me go you bastard, I'm going to sue you for cruelty to animals, let me go, I can't stay here and die, I don't want to become a monster, let me go, I beg you sir."

But Tom was crying and screaming. He was quite fierce at the beginning, but once he found that he couldn't break free, he immediately started crying.

Xing Tianyu couldn't help but stuff it into the cage directly.

The black cat grabbed the steel bars of the cage with its paws like a prisoner, and let out a desolate howl.

But Nangong Yan hurriedly began to comfort it, "How could you die? You are the first animal that can only speak human language. I will never let you get hurt."

"Don't think I'm a fool, you pretend I didn't see what happened to those guys."

Nangong Yan couldn't help being a little embarrassed when she heard this. As a biologist, she has always used animals to conduct experiments in the laboratory, but failed several times. Most of the animals that failed the experiments showed abnormal evolution, and naturally needed to be destroyed humanely. , Speaking of which, several animals have died.

"I'm sorry to let you see some terrible things, but it's all for science, and it's something that can't be helped, but you are no longer an ordinary animal, you are a magical intelligent creature, so I I can guarantee that you will not be harmed..."

That Tom finally calmed down gradually, and looked at Nangong Yan with teary eyes. "you swear?"

"I swear." Nangong Yan said seriously.

Tom finally nodded resignedly, "Okay, let me out, I won't run away again."

Nangong Yan nodded, opened the cage door, but got a collar from the desk and put it on Tom's neck.

"This collar has a tracker and an electric shock device. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it."

But Tom didn't refuse.

"Okay, then, please accept my experiment. The more you can prove your worth, the safer you will be." Nangong Yan said, taking out the test items and putting them in front of Tom.

When Tom was reading those questions, Nangong Yan said gratefully to Xing Tianyu: "Thank you just now, if he really let it go away, I will really cry to death."

"It's nothing."

"By the way, the ability you used just now—is it a superpower?"

Xing Tianyu didn't hide anything, "That's right."

"Really? I thought the activated blood was already magical enough, but I didn't expect there to be such a thing as superpowers!" Nangong Yan seemed a little unbelievable. "Can you tell me the reason?"

Xing Tianyu didn't know how to explain it: "I can only say that this world is much more complicated than you imagine."

Nangong Yan nodded half-understanding, "Okay, it's fine if you don't want to say it, thank you."

The test on Tom went very well. With the guarantee and the double insurance of the electric shock collar, Tom began to become cooperative.

The test on it is very comprehensive. First, various additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions, followed by literary creation, music, painting, and brain teasers. Anyway, everything that has something to do with intelligence has been tested.

The results are quite exciting. Tom's learning ability is very strong, his math ability is relatively poor, but he can easily handle simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and his literary skills are very strong. He can even create a short essay with ease. Not even weaker than a high school student's level.

For painting, Tom showed the level that normal people should have.

But the music is completely horrible, it can't even sing a line without being out of tune.

The most powerful thing about Tom is his reaction to brain teasers. His way of thinking seems to be different from that of human beings. Instead, he can answer all kinds of weird questions with ease, and his knowledge seems to be a lot. Know the answers to some questions that Xing Tianyu has never heard of.

"How do you know so much?"

Tom shrugged very humanely, "I've watched a lot of TV before, when I was still with my first owner, but at that time I was in a daze and couldn't understand the information I saw, But when I completed the strengthening, there was a bang, as if a valve in my mind was opened. I suddenly had a concept of many things, and the information in my mind in the past became clear all of a sudden. .”

Xing Tianyu thought it was so.

He glanced at Nangong Yan, "In this case, does it mean that this technology can be used on humans?"

Nangong Yan shook her head, "Of course not, just one successful case is not enough, we need more successful cases.

: "But before that, I have to apply for more experimental animals."
