One of the Twelve Kingdoms

Joshua got up early the next morning, and opened Jonathan's door sleepily with disheveled blond hair.

"Are you up, Johnny?"

Jonathan, whose sleep was disturbed, turned his back to him and warned in a harsh tone: "Get out, Josh."

"I just wanted to ask if you're free today—okay, okay, go on with your dreams." Joshya's words were interrupted by the alarm clock smashing on the door, and he immediately dismissed it and asked Jonathan to go with him Bai Hu murmured his thoughts and exited the room, went back to his room and opened the window to let the sunshine in, squinted his eyes hard in the cool morning dew, and woke up completely.

"It's another new day." Joshua sincerely hoped that today would be a little more comfortable than yesterday, but this wish was gradually extinguished when he stepped into the zoo.

"Are there so many tourists every day? I didn't know that the zoo's business in London is so hot." Joshya was isolated from the crowd at this time, and the tiger viewing area was at the innermost part of the crowd.Outside of the Premier League and Halloween, he has never seen such a crowd of people.He looked up to the tree trunks and the banners on the fence that read Great Britain's First Wild White Tiger.Joshua immediately understood that these people were all here for this wild white tiger that was accidentally captured.

Compared with the enthusiastic tourists, the white tiger who was taken as a viewing party looked very listless. Since being imprisoned, except for a few fruits to satisfy his hunger, the white tiger has not eaten for a long time.When Joshua finally got to the front and saw him, the poor beast was already hungry enough to gnaw its claws.

"Why doesn't he eat meat?" A girl looked at the white tiger who was indifferent to the meat brought by the breeder and asked in bewilderment. Her mother explained: "Because it is adapting to the new environment and is still determining whether there is any danger here." .”

No wonder, Baihu likes to eat meat, especially grilled steak.Joshua retorted silently, and then seemed to hear the big white tiger sigh deeply.

In this situation, he couldn't talk to Baihu.Joshua frowned.The white tiger also spotted him, and jumped to the ground as soon as the animal eyes lit up, walked towards him with its tail flicking, and roared with its sharp fangs.The people around him suddenly gasped, and were scared away by the aura of the king of beasts.

The white tiger stared at the beef jerky in Joshya's hand and gulped. Joshya saw that his eyes were glowing green, so he handed all the food to his mouth, looked around, and spoke with a volume that only two people could hear. Said: "We have to find a place to talk, there are too many people here."

The big white tiger only cared about eating, and said in a low voice, "I can't stay here. Someone tried to take me away last night. And they seem to want to keep me for a long time."

"Could it be a tiger thief?" Joshya asked in surprise, thinking that after all, the white tiger is also very rare, maybe the white tiger will be targeted after the news comes out.His mind was spinning fast, he didn't want Baihu to be captured and sold to Russia or the Middle East.

"Hey, kid, don't throw food indiscriminately." A worker knocked on the fence to keep Joshua and the white tiger away.Joshua suddenly had a plan.He immediately put away the snacks and obediently said: "Okay, sir." Apart from the low fence, there is a deep ditch about half a meter wide between the tiger living area and the tourist viewing area.Joshua deliberately slipped his foot while retreating, screamed, and fell across the ditch into the viewing area.

The sudden accident made all the tourists dumbfounded. A burly man wanted to pull Joshua up, but was almost bitten by a white tiger on the arm.

"Be careful, it will think you are going to grab food from him." The security guard on the side pulled him back in time.Other staff also rushed over in the shortest time.Joshua stared at the white tiger pretending to be scared, and with his whole body stuck to the edge of the deep ditch, he shouted loudly: "Get me out quickly!"

The crowd watched this tense scene, worried that this unlucky boy would die in the next moment, and some women prayed softly: "God, may God bless him."

They then opened a gap in the fence and built a passage with wooden boards. Joshua moved his body carefully and climbed up, and gave Baihu a look, "Go to my house."

The white tiger immediately understood what he meant, jumped over the open fence and ran quickly, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Run faster." Joshua was pulled to the ground, cheering secretly in his heart.The staff cursed a few words and reported the incident to their superiors. The director of the garden attached great importance to this sudden cash cow. Now that something happened, everyone was full of distress and faced the danger of unemployment again.Joshua heard that they seemed to be contacting the police for assistance, and immediately slipped out of the crowd and slipped aside, dialing a person's number.

"Hi Alexander, I'm Josh."

"Josh? Hi." Alexander sounded a little surprised that Joshya would call him. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I'm working now, so..."

"I know, that's why I came to you. I want to ask you for a favor. You should soon receive an order to capture a white tiger. Please find a way to prevent others from shooting." Joshya briefly explained.

"That's not my jurisdiction—"

"Please," Joshya begged.

Alexander hesitated for a moment, swallowed his refusal, "Okay."

Joshua breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Alexander hung up the phone and saw that his colleagues from the other team seemed to be about to leave, and asked, "Is there something else?"

Colleague helmet shrugged: "The zoo lost a tiger."

Alexander couldn't figure out why Joshya got involved with a tiger again. That mysterious and weird boy always seemed to have countless secrets.

Joshua called his brother again, and Jonathan understood the situation in a few words. He said in a nasal voice that he understood, and then turned over and went to sleep again.

About three hours later, Jonathan called him back: "You can go home."

"Okay." Joshua knew that his brother could handle everything, and he was happily preparing to take the bus, not noticing that Jonathan's tone was as cold as cracked ice.But sooner or later, he would know that Jonathan was having sex with another man in front of dozens of colleagues, and that kind of experience would not make anyone feel better.Rumors about Jonathan Playboy will presumably move the bureau further.

When Joshua returned home, the scene was not as chaotic as expected.Jonathan was cleaning the shattered window panes, and when he saw Joshya, he threw the broom to him.

"They're all gone?" Joshua stepped over the pile of glass shards and looked at his brother's cloudy face. Jonathan nodded: "The police and reporters have all retreated. They found almost nothing they liked, but they found nothing."

"Where's the white tiger?"

"In the kitchen."

As soon as Joshya entered the kitchen, he let out an exaggerated cry and laughed. The white tiger seemed to have been eating for a long time. There were piles of empty plates on the dining table. It was the first time Joshya saw someone who could eat British food. can not stop.The guy must be starving.

He raised his head from behind the high plate mountain, saw his eyes and said embarrassedly: "Josh, thank you."

Jonathan's shirt was a little too small for the white tiger, and his muscular muscles were about to bulge out of the fabric.Joshua sat down and said, "The human form looks better."

"Sorry, I seem to have caused you a lot of trouble." Baihu scratched his head guiltily, Jonathan took a can of Coke from the refrigerator and said to his younger brother, "You should explain to him the danger of transforming indiscriminately here, he will be arrested Into the laboratory to study anatomy."

"Of course I said it." Joshua retorted dissatisfiedly, Jonathan's tone seemed to be his fault, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Baihu, I have already mentioned this."

"I was with Jason at the time." Baihu recalled the scene when he was discovered: "Everything was fine, but Jason suddenly became a little strange. At that time, I felt that someone was coming from nearby, but he must I turned into a beast."

"Then you were seen and arrested, so it's not a matter of bad luck." Joshua straightened up, with a bad premonition in his heart: "I think... I think I have to talk to him .”

"Don't look for him, he disappeared." Jonathan said lightly, "I hope nothing happened to him."

"What do you mean? Jason is in danger?"

"Maybe, I think his behavior seems to know something, maybe he's hiding." Jonathan seemed to be thinking about something, stood up after a while and said, "I have to go to work."

"Goodbye." Joshua shook the cup, and immediately stood up when he heard the sound of the engine starting: "Let's go, White Tiger."

"Where are you going?" Bai Hu stood up in confusion.

"Jason's residence, you know where it is. Let's go and see, no matter who he hides from, there will always be some clues."

Jason's home is on an old street with a long history, and the lock on the rusty iron door is new.Baihu took out the key from under the flower pot and opened it, but the door inside was not locked.The quiet house was covered with a thin layer of dust in the sunlight due to the entry of strangers. Joshah checked all the rooms, even opened the safe he hid in the basement, but this place is different from most ordinary people. There is nothing special about a person's dwelling.

"He took away his notebook, mobile phone, clothes, and necessities." Joshya rummaged through his bookcase, which was full of thick information books, and suddenly a thin booklet fell to the ground, and Joshya picked it up , His eyes lit up as soon as he opened them.

This is a sketchbook, which is filled with all kinds of monsters, creatures, trees and buildings in the Twelve Kingdoms, as well as dated and some notes.Jason never revealed this hobby to them, it should be where he landed.Joshua flipped through it several times quickly, but didn't want to think badly about Jason: "This doesn't explain anything."

"Do you think he will come back to get it?..." Joshya's voice faded away, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide when he looked at a certain page, which showed a beautiful woman with the body of a deer, the tail of a leopard, and the wings of a butterfly.Joshua stared at her, and dared not answer after a long while: "He has never seen Huafeng, why does he know what she looks like?"
