I stared at it for another moment before speaking again.
"I have another question."
The cat looked at me quietly and gave a small nod. I raised my hand slightly and projected several images into the air between us using soul energy.
The Naga Matriarch. The Demon Monarch.
And the others who had entered the Crimson Zone long ago.
The projections floated silently above the fountain while the cat's golden eyes slowly moved across each of them.
For a few seconds it said nothing.
Then its eyes suddenly began glowing brighter, deep golden light spreading through its pupils while the atmosphere around the fountain became strangely still.
The cat continued staring at the projections.
Then finally it shook its head.
"Stupid people," it muttered. "They are fighting the Crimson Zone," it said calmly.
I narrowed my eyes slightly. "Fighting it where?"
"Deep inside it."
The projections vanished slowly afterward while the cat continued sitting comfortably in the air.
