I swapped my life with me

After walking through three relatively long corridors in this way, the young man holding the cat gradually slowed down his pace.

From just now to now, the alarm in the underground palace still hasn't stopped.

The rapid bell almost covered the sound of people's conversation. Mu Xuesong looked around through the pair of "crow's eyes" on the top of the bird's beak mask, and could see many mages walking fast like him beside him.

They wore different masks and covered their figures with wide cloaks. They held suitcases in one hand and pendulums in the other, or flipped a few cards, and some kept flipping one after another. round gold coins.

When Mu Xuesong passed a certain fork in the road, he even saw a strange guy wearing a top hat, squatting on the ground and fiddling with the dice in his hand.

"They are doing divination in their own way." Ulysses explained to him: "This is the habit of most mages who are proficient in this way. Divination is the first thing to do when you are in doubt, and the god of luck will always have a chance to favor you .”

Mu Xuesong was thoughtful: "Then should we also make a dice? What is this called? Roll dice to ask directions?"

Ulysses shook his beard and said disdainfully, "Come on, make it sound like you know how to play with that thing."

"Otherwise, if you teach me how to divination, maybe I'll really get started?" Mu Xuesong scratched the cat's chin casually, his face full of sighs: "Xiaoxi, logically speaking, this Master Yeque and I are actually the same. It's the same person, so it doesn't make sense that he can be an archmage, but I can't do anything."

Ulysses was softened into a pool of liquid by his scratching.

While purring, the black cat couldn't help raising its chin even higher: "What you said... purring... that's right... purring..."

"Wait this time is over... uru uru... If you haven't been able to go back... uru...we can find an opportunity to test your affinity for magic... uru uru uru..."

Mu Xuesong's subordinates paused for a moment, with a strange expression on their faces: "Although testing magic is very novel, but when you say it like this, why does it always feel like you have set the FLAG?"

If he can go home, who cares about playing magic? He prefers his own world with rapid technological development, okay?

After walking for a while, the number of pedestrians around Mu Xuesong gradually increased. On the contrary, the shops on both sides of the corridor have basically become empty.

The young man whispered: "These people are the same as our destination?"

"Probably." There were more and more people around, and Ulysses no longer just slumped in his arms to enjoy the massage, but stretched his limbs, popped out his claws, and then hooked his robe and kept climbing up.

Before Mu Xuesong could react, Ulysses had already swished into his hood, and successfully stretched himself into a black "scarf".

Its head rubbed against Mu Xuesong's left cheek, its hind paws hung on his right shoulder, and its warm belly was tightly attached to the back of his neck.

At the same time, Ulysses rolled up his big, fluffy tail and wrapped it loosely around Mu Xuesong's neck. In this way, the whole cat was "glued" to the young man's neck.

Mu Xuesong: "..."

After successfully shaping himself into a "lady's fur collar", Ulysses raised his head slightly, and the height was just around Mu Xuesong's left ear, which was very suitable for whispering something unknown to outsiders.

So, Ulysses put himself in a good position, and with his ugly but unconscious voice, he began to whisper at the young man's ears: "Hey, why is your neck so stiff? Relax a little, or I'll feel uncomfortable lying on it."

Mu Xuesong: "..."

Mu Xuesong: "...Since it's so uncomfortable, then you still don't come down."

Ulysses: "Come down and do something, it's more concealed to talk like this."

Mu Xuesong simply stood still: "Hidden ass, get out of here quickly. Damn, why are you so heavy... I can't carry you anymore."

Of course Ulysses didn't obediently roll down.

It firmly fixed itself on the young man's neck, and his tone revealed disgust: "This is just a little more weight, and you are too weak."

"Nonsense. Try hanging ten or eight weights around your neck. I think any normal person—and a normal cat—will be as stiff as me." The hood, with black lines all over his face, said: "Also, don't you have any idea how fat you are? My hat is almost smashed by you!"

"Besides, don't you feel it, the shape of the two of us will make my head look very big!"

"...you say I'm fat?!" Ulysses forgot what was going on in an instant, grinned and said, "You're the only one who is fat, and your whole family is fat!"

Mu Xuesong raised his hand to hold it down: "Don't move around, it will get heavier!"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly held his breath, and turned to grab the long tail that was placed under his mask: "Wait, why do I feel a little itchy in my mouth...Damn, fat cat, you won't lose your hair anymore Bar?"

Ulysses became furious and started fighting with him in the hood: "You are fat, your whole family is fat!!!"

One person and one cat wrestled silently in the passageway. There was not much movement, but it was enough to attract the curious crowd of a few people.

"Hi, my friend." A mage couldn't help approaching and asked him aloud, "Your cat seems to be mad, do you need help?"

Mu Xuesong & Ulysses: "..."

The black cat circled the young man's neck again, and hypocritically called: "Meow~"

Mu Xuesong coughed dryly: "Hey, it's okay, we're just playing with each other to enhance the friendship between master and servant..."

The mage looked at him and the cat suspiciously: "Really?"

Ulysses protruded a round head from under the hat, softly pressed against Mu Xuesong's chin, and cried coquettishly: "Miuuuuuuuuuu..."

Mu Xuesong scratched it's face, and nodded calmly: "Really, it was acting like a baby just now, and it didn't have any malicious intentions. Well, thank you for your concern, thank you very much."

"Well, it seems that I am meddling." The mage spread his hands and showed a friendly smile: "Then, please pay attention to safety at all times. Goodbye, friend."

Mu Xuesong: "Thank you, goodbye."

After that person walked away, Mu Xuesong took another step and continued walking.

The black cat stayed quietly on his neck, and Mu Xuesong reached out and flicked it on the forehead: "Are you honest this time?"

Ulysses curled his lips: "You didn't provoke me first."

Mu Xuesong: "It's not because you grabbed my neck first."

Ulysses breathed out, and emphasized: "I did it for the convenience of communication! Do you want to be eavesdropped by the humans around you all the time, and then they will find out that you are actually a fake mage?"

Mu Xuesong scoffed: "Then you can't poke your tail into my mask, can you? Admit it, you just want to stuff my mouth with fluff on purpose."

Ulysses secretly retracted his tail an inch, and said confidently: "This is force majeure. There is no cat that doesn't shed its hair. You are a strong cat."

Mu Xuesong rolled his eyes: "I can go to your 'strong cat'."

The man and the cat were walking and arguing while suppressing their voices, and when they turned the corner, and there were more and more people walking in the same direction beside them, the two finally reached a reconciliation—Ulysses must strictly watch his tail , and Mu Xuesong can no longer laugh at it as a fat cat.

"Go one more street, and we will reach the small square where the teleportation array is arranged." Ulysses snapped out a long nail, raised his claws to hook the corner of the hood, and helped Mu Xuesong fix the hat: "When the time comes, don't run around and ask questions, follow my instructions, and don't reveal your secrets, otherwise we will both die."

Mu Xuesong moved his neck with difficulty: "So, why is the emergency exit set up by a rally so far away? Don't you have any other way to exit?"

Ulysses: "Of course there is more than one way to leave, but the only one that suits you best."

"The place we are going now is one of the nearest teleportation points within the venue." The black cat kept pulling the hood, trying to keep the brim of the hat from falling back, and said: "Generally speaking, this kind of teleportation Points will be set at the four corners of the venue area, southeast, northwest. Of course, the central square of San Barro itself is also a huge teleportation array—it is the circular field we stayed in when we first entered the San Barodi Palace."

Saying that, it shook its head again: "But it must be full of people now, and it's too close to Baimu Street, there are sanctioners there, so it's safer to go to the teleportation point we're going to now. "

"Uh, you just said that there is more than one way to leave." Mu Xuesong slowed down and looked at a corner of the passage: "Is that also one of the ways?"

The black cat followed his line of sight, and one person and one cat happened to see a small mage whose body and appearance were invisible, holding his right hand on his chest, and holding a huge leather case in his left hand. The man hung his head and muttered, A few words, and then a sudden bang, just like that, the person and the box disappeared out of thin air.

The mages around were not surprised, and continued to do what they should do, as if the little mage had never appeared before.

Mu Xuesong was shocked by this scene: "...he is, apparating?"

Ulysses: "What?"

Mu Xuesong: "It's okay... you can continue."

"Well, how should I put it, this is indeed one of the ways to leave, but it doesn't apply to you." Ulysses explained: "Did you notice the badge on your chest? As long as the badge is If you infuse magic power on it, the maker of the badge, that is, the gatekeeper of the assembly, will be aware of your request, and you and the gatekeeper can communicate through the badge, and if the request is reasonable, the gatekeeper will provide you with services as appropriate."

Mu Xuesong touched his chin: "So it also includes people like him who don't want to rush to find the teleportation array, so they leave the venue directly with the help of the gatekeeper?"

"That's right." Ulysses nodded slightly: "However, the services of the gatekeepers are not free, and they are generally very busy. Even if the magic power is input into the badge, they may not be able to connect to the gatekeeper immediately. people's communication channel."

When Mu Xuesong heard it say this, he almost immediately thought of a certain profession on earth——network customer service.
