after falling asleep

Chapter 790 19. Tom and Jerry

[Player-Martin-exit the game]

In the darkness, a system prompt popped out from the upper right corner.

At this moment, the sound of the old-fashioned projector turning rang in the ears of the players.

A colorful logo presents the players' vision.The rough, jittery, flickering noise picture resembles a film film from the early days of the film industry in the 20th century.

A majestic male lion appeared in the center of the logo and roared, and with the joyful symphony, the title prologue faded away.

The screen lights up again, and what is presented in front of the player is a cartoon full of the sense of the times.

An upright, anthropomorphic, blue-gray shorthair cat with exaggeratedly turning legs like a wheel is catching an equally upright, anthropomorphic, brown-haired mouse with exaggeratedly turning legs like a wheel.

The hasty symphony highlights the tension of this capture battle.

【This is Tom】

At this moment, the old and deep narration sounded.

The distance between them is getting closer, Tom's upper body is leaning forward, getting longer and longer as if falling into a black hole, the long shadow covers the fleeing mouse.

But just when Tom was about to catch the mouse, a wall appeared in front of them.The mouse rushed into the mouse hole in the wall, and Tom, who couldn't react in time, slammed into the wall——

Bang! ! !
A star appeared, and Tom's head retracted into his chest under the exaggerated style of painting, leaving only the plane to turn to the camera, and blinked a few times dully.

【A cat who tried to catch Jerry but kept failing. 】

The scene changed, and Tom drooped his head, eyelids and beard dejectedly, and walked to his mistress.

She is too tall to fit all in the shot.Only the thick lower body in the red floral dress was exposed.

At this time, the slippers were stepping on, and he scolded Tom who came to his feet.

[This is its mistress, a housewife who can beat ten strong men of the same age. 】

Tom blinked feebly and slowly, as if he had aged decades.

"what--!!!"

A high-decibel scream suddenly sounded, and the hostess grabbed the kitchen utensils and threw them out—it turned out that the mouse Jerry was pushing a sausage to the mouse hole.

Tom comes alive in a flash, rushing at Jerry to the hilarious soundtrack.

But a pot fell from the sky and hit Tom on top of his head. Before he could go far, tableware fell one after another.

Dang—bang—ding——

Three small Jerrys appeared above Tom's head and spun around, and Tom fell to the ground staring at stars.

The hostess's legs appeared in the camera, and the slipper was still stepping on, accusing the incompetent Tom.

[The only things that scare her are full-price merchandise and rats. 】

The hostess cursed angrily for a while, then turned and left.Only Tom got up slowly and became dejected again.

[Poor Tom was given an ultimatum.If it can no longer catch the mouse, it will be kicked out of the house. 】

A burst of laughter came from outside the screen, Tom raised his eyelids, and saw Jerry standing on the windowsill, pointing at Tom and laughing loudly.

Tom shook his head, thrown out together with his decadence, and turned into a clean-spirited short-haired cat again, rushing towards Jerry.

Jerry stopped laughing, jumped off the ledge, took out a pair of binoculars and watched Tom arc overhead and out the window.

There was a clattering sound outside the window.

Jerry ran up to the windowsill, waved to Tom who fell into the trash can with only one leg hanging out, and walked proudly back to the mouse hole with his chest out.

Three skinny feral cats that looked cunning and treacherous, and a dwarf cat that was as small as a kitten emerged from their respective trash cans.

The leading black-haired cat fished the decadent Tom out of the trash can, and removed the banana peel and smelly socks from his head.

Tom looked listlessly at their companions, and sighed heavily as if the balloon had deflated, countless images flashed through his mind.

Being stuffed into a vase becomes the shape of a vase;

Was punched by Jerry's cousin and smashed through the wall;
caught toes by sharply set mousetrap;

A date with a beloved cat spoiled by Jerry;

Pecked by hens, bitten by bulldogs, blown up by firecrackers, scared to death——

【Oh, weak and helpless Tom】

The four wild cats looked at each other, and their smiles made them synonymous with treachery.The black stray cat hugged Tom and whispered in his ear.

[As Tom's wine and meat friends, you have the responsibility to help Tom complete the tasks assigned by his mistress and continue to live in this family. 】

Listening to the words in his ear, Tom puffed up his body again, and nodded with joy.

The screen gradually dimmed, and the last narration sounded in everyone's ears.

[Before the hostess returns home from get off work after dark. 】

After a few seconds, the players felt the presence of the body, and their sight was restored.

Their claws turned into furry cat's claws, and there was a sour smell of garbage on and around them.

Looking at each other, Mu Su and the others turned into those four wild cats.The black stray cat with the name of the transparent bridge above its head is holding Tom's shoulder.

Musu is an orange-red cat, Jun Moxiao is a dark brown cat, poor Wen Xiang, she is a light gray kitten as short as a kitten.

Wen Xiang looked around strangely.The anime-style sights felt fresh to her.

On the other side, Tom, who received assistance, puffed up his chest and walked back to the main entrance of the house amidst the drumbeat of the background music.

The transparent bridge looked back and said to the three "cat" companions: "The crust of the Andrew Basin on Mars is moving, and she can't come."

Mu Su's face turned pale from morning to night in shock: "How did she die!"

Transparent Bridge sighed and said, "She's fine, but she's not suitable for playing games for the time being."

Mu Su wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden task.
