Just as he was about to climb the step in the entryway, Jerry suddenly felt a shiver run through him, as if something ominous was about to happen.
Jerry quietly turned his head, closed his left eye, and looked with his right, only to see a large cat, Tom, poised above and behind him, ready to pounce and grab him at any moment!
Seeing this, Jerry was so startled that the entire mouse jumped. After landing, he didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately prepared to run forward. However, the same situation as Tom's occurred to him again: in his haste to sprint, he slipped in place for a good while, as if running on a treadmill.
Just as he was about to rush out, Tom also leaped out, stretching his claws towards Jerry.
The moment Jerry ran out, Tom felt confident this time. He clenched his claws, perfectly... missing Jerry, and then landed face-first, sliding on his face at a 45-degree angle for a full three meters before finally stopping.
He scrambled up, and at this moment, Tom's head seemed to have turned into an iron, extremely flat.
Tom got up and shook his head vigorously, and the shape of his head returned to normal. It could almost be considered a medical miracle. Then, he looked angrily at Jerry, who had already run a certain distance, standing there watching the show and mocking him.
Seeing Tom get up again and prepare to continue chasing him, Jerry quickly turned around and started to run away again.
He had just rushed in, and no matter what, he had to get back to his home. What kind of situation would it be if he was thrown into the trash can halfway?
This won't do, absolutely not. No matter what, he has to return home! He absolutely refuses to spend the night outdoors!
As the Cat and Mouse game began once more, Tom and Jerry started their chase and escape inside the house, while Haku watched the show by the coffee table, confirming that this mouse was definitely Jerry!
Besides Jerry, no other mouse could walk upright, or even slide in place and use movement to trick Tom's attack.
After all, if it were Jerry's relatives, they wouldn't even need to escape, but would directly confront Tom.
Now Haku had no other choice but to watch the show. He himself had no chance of catching the mouse; otherwise, he would have to use a Command Seal to catch Jerry once? That would be too wasteful, and a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. In short, although Tom's performance this time was much worse compared to his previous swift capture of Jerry, he just had to trust him.
During the chase, Jerry tried several times to sneak into his mouse hole, but each time he was blocked by Tom in advance, forcing him to flee haphazardly in the living room.
Finally, Jerry reached the cabinet in the open-plan kitchen and began to furiously attack with projectiles.
"Bang! Splat!!" After narrowly dodging several plates, spatulas, and other items thrown by Jerry, Tom, with an angry expression, was about to charge forward again, but then he paused in his charging posture, his gaze fixed on the spatula Jerry had thrown.
Casually picking up the spatula Jerry had thrown, Tom's eyes, with a sinister smile, turned towards Jerry.
Jerry's heart immediately sank. Oh no, he accidentally gave this guy equipment!
Suddenly, he didn't dare to tease Tom anymore. Jerry quickly jumped down from the open-plan kitchen counter, wanting to return directly to his home. He had a feeling this time he had overplayed his hand.
Almost at the same moment Jerry jumped down, Tom, like a cannonball, charged madly towards Jerry, catching up to Jerry's pace in just a few breaths.
"Splat!" The moment he caught up to Jerry, Tom immediately swung the spatula in his hand, intending to flatten Jerry. But this time, unlike before, Jerry wasn't running blindly with his eyes closed; he was constantly keeping an eye on Tom behind him.
Seeing Tom swing the spatula in his hand, he sprang up about thirty centimeters, perfectly dodging Tom's attack.
Seeing that his first attack had no effect whatsoever, Tom couldn't help but frown, then continuously swung out a second, third, fourth, fifth attack... and all of them missed cleanly. If there had been even the slightest error, they would have successfully hit.
"Splat!" Having dodged another attack, Jerry, seeing that Tom was just like this, couldn't help but start to get overconfident.
This time, after dodging Tom's attack, Jerry, while in mid-air, directly turned his head to the left and stuck out his tongue at Tom, starting to taunt him up close, "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah~~~!"
Seeing Jerry's suicidal move, Tom's eyes immediately lit up. He didn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Grasping the fact that Jerry would definitely stay in the air longer while sticking out his tongue, Tom, holding the spatula in his right hand, began to charge it up, then swung it horizontally with a fierce motion.
"Splat!!!"
Jerry clutched his hit backside, and the entire mouse was instantly sent flying, wailing continuously in mid-air, "Ow! Ow! Ow-hoo! Ow-hoo-hoo!!!"
"Bang!" Finally, Jerry hit the corner of the wall, which stopped his flight. After landing in the corner, he knelt on his knees, his head on the ground, covering his backside with both hands.
At this moment, whether from Tom's perspective or Haku's, Jerry's backside was glowing red, flashing. If someone who didn't know saw it, their first reaction would probably be to wonder who made a smoke detector look like a mouse.
Tom laughed, tongue hanging out, placing his left hand on his forehead as he watched Jerry being perfectly smacked into the corner. He didn't give up the opportunity, but chose to follow up with a combo!
Rushing to the corner, Tom, holding the spatula, smacked him again.
Jerry, who was covering his backside, noticed that Tom was coming again. Frightened, he immediately stopped covering his backside and, with a spring in his step, dodged the spatula again.
However, Tom didn't just come to hit him once. After swinging, seeing Jerry jump into the air... which was right in front of him, Tom casually tossed the spatula aside, stretched out both hands, and very smoothly caught Jerry in his grasp.
"Hmph, whoo-hahahahahaha!" After catching Jerry, Tom opened his mouth wide in a sinister smile and leaned his head closer, "Being power~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tom continued with his demonic, evil laughter, coupled with a demonic cackle, "Hmph hmph heh hahahahaha!!!"
Looking at the huge and demonic face of the big cat in front of him, Jerry's small face immediately crumpled. He knew he was done for again this time.
