Tale of the 9th Tail Chapter 3

This is a "destined person".

The predecessors said that those who can see the true form of the nine-tailed cat are destined to see it. They can make a wish, and the nine-tailed cat will help them realize it, at the cost of losing one tail.

It has always been dissatisfied with the title of "predestined people". The fate between it and these people is that it has to take steps back and forth on the road to the perfect ascension of the nine tails step by step. And because of the great fate, it has been advancing and retreating for more than a hundred years.

But something deeply embedded in the Nine-tailed Cat's genes makes it unable to resist the reasonable wishes of the destined people. Time and again, it fulfills the wishes for the destined people with a depressed mood, and slowly cultivates a tail again and again, and then repeats this cycle... Where do so many destined people come from? It has always been puzzled by this.

Jasper Cole once said that all of you nine-tailed cats are M, and it’s a capital M.

Yes, now it is going to M again.

It sits upright in front of the man, quietly waiting for him to make a wish. As long as the wish is within its ability, it will agree to it.

"Your tail is so beautiful." The man looked at it for a long time and said softly. He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch it, but after holding it in the air for a while, he took it back, perhaps because he felt it was impolite.

It blinked, waiting for him to continue.

"I've heard... heard of that legend, about the nine-tailed cat... that helps people fulfill their wishes." He looked at the cat in front of him with shiny, soft black fur like silk, and stuttered with excitement. "I didn't expect... that it would be true..."

It knows what it looks like in the eyes of this person. What it sees is not a kitten that is rolled up like a ball of black wool, but a big cat. The big black cat is emitting dark blue light all over its body, like a giant ultraviolet mosquito repellent. Behind this big black cat with blue light there are eight majestic tails.

Very imposing, well, it has always believed so, although sometimes it may scare the people who are destined to see it.

"I don't know if I'm being abrupt," the man finally calmed down a little and spoke more fluently, "Legend has it that the nine-tailed cat is very kind and will help people realize their wishes..."

Yes, the price was that I just grew a tail.

It wagged its tail. It never understood why the price had to be paid by the nine-tailed cat instead of the destined person. If one day it ascended to heaven, it would definitely find its ancestors to ask how such an unequal capital M rule was passed.

But now it can only wait patiently for this person to finish speaking.

"Can you help me? My wish is not too much, really!" When the man said this, tears began to flicker in his eyes and his voice was a little choked. "I really didn't expect to meet a nine-tailed cat. Help me."

It had seen this kind of scene many times, but just like the first time it saw it, its heart softened slightly along with the person in front of it, and it felt a little uncomfortable.

It raised its front paw and the man touched it lightly with his hand. He should have been able to feel that it wanted to speak.

Tell me what your wish is.

"My daughter...my daughter is sick and has been in a coma for several days," the man lowered his head and controlled his voice, "the doctor said there is no hope..."

I can't save lives.

"I don't need you to make her get better. I know the cat-o-nine can't do it... It's fate," the man said excitedly, grabbing one of its front paws and holding it tightly. "I just want to... The day after tomorrow is her birthday, her sixth birthday... Her mother and I want to celebrate her birthday..."

You want her to wake up.

"Okay, can you help me, it's just a birthday, before she leaves..." The man couldn't continue, tears slid down his face.

good.

It closed its eyes, and the blue halo surrounding its body suddenly grew larger and brighter.

This wish is not excessive, it can be done.

Its tail felt a little painful and thin, as if it was bitten by many small insects. It shook its tail gently. It knew that one of its eight tails was slowly getting smaller and thinner, and would disappear within a few minutes.

"Thank you, you will be rewarded, for sure!" The man watched the black cat turn around and walk away in a soft blue halo, then slowly knelt on the ground, "Thank you..."

For it, this thank you can offset a lot of depression. It has met many people who can't say thank you. It is already satisfied that this person said thank you.

But the tail was still gone. After turning the corner, it looked back, stretched out its tail and counted it carefully. There were seven, yes, seven tails.

I no longer feel like taking a walk in the street garden, and this time my tail is gone after practicing.

Go home and sleep.

It was still jumping around, but not as happily as before, and it felt a little tired.

Ethan Blake stood in the bathroom, looking at his face in the mirror. It was very pale, and even his so-called amber eyes seemed to have faded.

He sighed, picked up the black contact lens box beside the sink and took a look at it. Forget it. He was used to this endless cycle. Apart from going to bed and having a good sleep, he had no other thoughts.

He had to sleep on his stomach. His B*tt was definitely not injured, but the feeling when his tail disappeared was still there. In fact, if the number of times this happened to him was converted into hair, it might be enough to fill a tail, but it still happened every time.

"When will this end..." Ethan Blake pulled the blanket over himself from head to toe and closed his eyes.

Nolan Reed fell asleep right after harassing Chloe Harper, but it didn't feel like he slept for long. Just as he was dreaming that he was sitting in a maid restaurant, looking at the three maids surrounding him, happily preparing to enjoy the life of a master, the alarm in the corridor rang again.

He didn't have time to say goodbye to them. He and Aiden Gray jumped out of bed at the same time. With almost the same action, they grabbed their clothes and rushed out of the dormitory, putting them on as they ran.

Neither of them spoke until they slid down the slide and put on their protective suits.

This was definitely not a surprise inspection. It was impossible for Lao Wu to do such a thing twice in one night. A fire in the middle of the night was terrifying because everyone was asleep and had no defenses.

The loudspeaker has been reporting the fire situation. A serious fire has occurred at Yajuyuan in Nanhe District. All team members must assemble and set out immediately. A serious fire has occurred at Yajuyuan in Nanhe District. All team members must assemble and set out immediately!

Four fire trucks left the warehouse in order. Nolan Reed and Aiden Gray were the second ones. Aiden Gray turned on the sirens and drove out following the car in front.

"Yajuyuan is a residential area, right?" Dylan Brooks, who was sitting in the back, kept shaking his legs. This person's legs shake when he is out of a fire scene. He is no longer a human being, but he has not changed his bad habits from his human days. "Everyone, mobilize. This fire looks serious. It's not a festival, why do we have to go to fire scenes every few days? There are always so many people who don't take their lives seriously."

"Brother Wen, stop shaking," Nolan Reed sat next to him, and his legs were shaking so much that he couldn't control them and wanted to move up and down with his rhythm. "The car is shaking along with the ground..."

"You can't blame me for having S3x in the car. Aiden Gray's driving skills are terrible." Dylan Brooks stopped shaking his legs, chuckled twice, and started shaking again within two seconds.

"Can you two be a little more civilized and polite..." Aiden Gray muttered to himself, and glanced at Liam Fox who was sitting in the co-pilot seat. The smile on his face immediately disappeared. This guy always looks on high alert. His expression always remains the same from the time he receives the call to the time he goes out on patrol to the time he returns to the fire scene. This expression is particularly contagious when everyone is nervous.

After Aiden Gray glanced at him, his face also became full of bitterness and resentment. He thought that next time when there was a fire scene, he must let Liam Fox sit in the back.

As the car just turned onto the street of Yajuyuan, several people saw flames rising into the sky.

"Damn, didn't the fire report just say that the fire was on the first floor?" Nolan Reed looked in the direction of the fire. "Looking at the fire, it's obviously not just this high! It's spreading so much..."

"Be careful, it's going to be a tough battle today." Dylan Brooks stared at the black smoke and flames that were getting closer and closer.

Four fire trucks were parked downstairs of the burning residential building. When Nolan Reed jumped out of the car, he looked up at the fire and his heart sank. The fire had spread to the 13th floor and was still burning upwards.

There are 15 floors in total, and the rooftop is full of people, all clinging to the railings and waving for help. The situation is very critical. If there is chaos at this moment, something will definitely happen.

As soon as Garrett Stone jumped out of the car, he shouted at the top of his voice and began to arrange tasks: "Team one, put out the fire! Team two, search for residents in the building! Team three, rescue! Team four, isolate the fire! Everyone, hurry up and pay attention to the safety of the people! Go, go, go, go!"

Nolan Reed and his team were in the second team. After receiving the order, they checked their protective gear and rushed into the building. When they ran up the fire escape, they could already smell the choking smell of smoke. Nolan Reed ran first, and Dylan Brooks followed behind him. As they ran, they made arrangements: "Two people go up one floor to check, remember to keep in touch, and ask for help in case of unexpected situations. Don't try to be a hero..."

Nolan Reed and Aiden Gray rushed into the first floor that caught fire, while the other team members continued to move up.

"Damn it!" Aiden Gray cursed as he rushed in. There was no open flame in the corridor on the first floor, and black smoke was everywhere. The temperature around was very high, and people felt as if their whole bodies were starting to ooze oil.

"Looking for it, I'm afraid the floor will collapse if we take too long!" Nolan Reed started to kick the door. He was afraid of having to go out to a fire scene late at night. Every time he encountered a fire, he would be burned and even dream about taking a sauna.

"Is anyone there? Speak if you hear any voice!" Aiden Gray kicked the door open and started shouting.

After searching the first floor, no one was found in the house, so Nolan Reed and his team continued to run upstairs, contacted Dylan Brooks, and went directly to the 13th floor. There was still thick smoke, and flames could be seen rising from the windows in the corridor.

"This doesn't look like ordinary fire smoke, the color of the fire is wrong!" Aiden Gray shouted. There was actually a lot of debris piled up in the corridor on the 13th floor, and it had all fallen over. The two of them had to stride over it with great effort, and they would trip if they were not careful.

"Yes! It feels like chemicals! Move quickly, it might be poisonous!" Nolan Reed knocked on the door and started banging on it.

There was no one on the 13th floor, so they breathed a sigh of relief. Liam Fox informed them that a little girl had been found on the 14th floor and was being sent down, so they were asked to go directly to the 15th floor to search for her.

"Let's go, 15." Nolan Reed shouted and gestured to Aiden Gray to go up to the 15th floor. The two of them ran upstairs amid the choking smell of smoke.

The temperature on the 15th floor was relatively lower, but there was a lot of smoke and the doors of several households were open. The two rushed in and searched but didn't see anyone. There was a rooftop above the 15th floor, and the residents probably ran upstairs after hearing the noise.

Dylan Brooks's voice came from Aiden Gray's intercom: "The residents on the 15th floor provided information. The student on 154 is not seen. You should go check it out immediately!"

"Got it, we're on the 15th floor, we'll go find him right away!" Aiden Gray shouted.

Nolan Reed saw the house number 154 in the thick smoke. The door was closed. He pounded on the door several times with his hands, but there was no response. So he took two steps back and rushed forward. It took him two bangs to break the door open.

"Is anyone there? We are the fire department!" Nolan Reed looked around. There was smoke in the house, but not much, which did not affect his vision. He didn't see anyone, so he rushed directly into the bedroom.

There was a person sleeping on the bed. The moment he rushed into the bedroom, he suddenly jumped up and rushed in front of him with such lightness and speed that he was stunned.

Then he saw a pair of wide-open amber eyes and an obviously frightened face through the smoke. The man looked quite young, and should be the student Dylan Brooks mentioned. He didn't have time to think about anything else, so he grabbed the man's hand and ran out: "There's a fire downstairs, follow me! Is there anyone else at home?"

"No." The man was stunned for a moment, staggered when he was pulled by him, and then obediently followed him out.

"Where are your shoes! Watch your feet!" Aiden Gray saw someone following Nolan Reed, wearing only a pair of underwear. The ground was covered with broken glass, and his bare feet would be scratched in a few steps.

"I'll put them on." The child was stunned for a moment, then turned around calmly and wanted to go back to the house to put on his shoes.

"No need to wear it anymore," Nolan Reed saw thick black smoke rolling in from the corridor window. He grabbed his arm, took off his protective suit and wrapped it around him, then bent down and carried him on his shoulders, "Let's go!"

It was only when Ethan Blake was thrown onto Nolan Reed's shoulder that he saw his face clearly. He was a little surprised that he could still remember this face.

This was the firefighter who had pulled him out of the sewer by the tail. He could even distinguish the faint smell of tobacco on the man when his face bumped into his waist.

Previously, this person had dragged me out of the sewer by my tail using a lasso like a rag, and now he was swinging me over his shoulders like a sack...

What a fate, Ethan Blake, what a shame, Ethan Blake.

Being rescued twice by the same person on the same day was such an embarrassing fact. Ethan Blake endured the strong urge to vomit because his stomach was hitting this person's shoulder, and felt a little depressed.
