The air condensed as usual.

"Are you really going to adopt that child?"

"Yes. The man kneeling on the floor replied decisively. "I think very clearly, please be sure to fulfill me. ”

"The word of atonement...... That child may not appreciate it, and this kind of stupid behavior should not be something that Kusama really does, as an enemy who will be resented and misunderstood, and hopes that the other person will grow up. ”

"It's not just atonement, it's just that I don't want him to live alone. Kusama raised his head, his cold eyes glowing with a shallow and soft shimmer, "He and I are just relying on each other, please rest assured." ”

The person standing in front of Kusama turned his back to him and walked to the window, sneering in a low voice, "It's just a monster, you can raise it if you want." ”

"Thank you. ”

Standing up and retreating to the door, one last look at the man standing in front of the window, Kusama went out and closed the door.

The man didn't look back, squinting his eyes at the gray sky. As the winter approached, the bitter cold wind mixed with fine snow blew into his wide collar, but he didn't care. It can be seen from his slender and slender figure and his childish facial features that he is not more than 15 years old.

The little white bird pecking at the water on the wooden platform also seemed to sense the abnormality, leaving the porcelain dish containing the water, flying to the man's shoulder and pecking at his face.

"You say...... Is loneliness scarier than a curse?"

Kusama walked out of the main house and followed the quiet tree-lined path on the left towards the more remote deserted area.

Along the way, the whispers around me kept pouring into my ears.

"I heard that the thing fell into the pond and fainted again today, and I don't know if I am still breathing. ”

"Shhh~ Be quiet, you don't want to die! Although that thing is very weird, it is treated by the head of the family with special treatment!"

"Hmph, anyway, the head of the family doesn't know about it yet, and he hasn't seen anyone since he woke up, and even if he's dead, no one will necessarily notice. ”

"It's better to die, like him...... It's disgusting to look at. ”

"But isn't the head of the house very special to him?"

"Stupid, even if the head of the family treats him well, he deserves to die even more!"

"Huh?"

"This is normal, okay, how can the head of the family be blocked and affected by him like a god-like being. Besides, that kind of bond is not a good thing at all...... If it were me, I would have gotten rid of him sooner. ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the root of the tongue is chewed and passed on to the head of the family, and we will die. ”

Kusama walked slowly towards the depths of the house, not at all strange or surprising at the conversation between them, and there was no intention of curbing it.

The thing that is called ...... It's a half-grown boy, and he's even a little younger than the zodiac. The parents are unknown, and the relatives in the vague concept are the scope circle of the Caomo people. Not in the category of the zodiac, even more embarrassing than cats and gods.

It's a ...... The saddest individual in the Kumama family.

With a lot of complicated thoughts, I finally came to the most untouched place in Caomoga-the dilapidated cabin.

The tiles were shabby, and the surrounding weeds were overgrown, and a thin layer of fine snow was falling, which made it look desolate. The paths for people narrowed gradually, and most of them □ sharp gravel, which made it painful for the feet.

The indescribable desolation made the mentally prepared Cao Mozhen stunned, he knew that the place where the cat demon lived would not be very comfortable, but such a dilapidated residence was used to imprison a young child of the age with one finger, which was inevitably excessive.

The cabin had only a textbook-sized window, and the rain and air-dried mud and densely wound wires covered the otherwise small glass more tightly, and only a few rays of light could penetrate the room. The iron door was dripping with blood-yellow rust, and the heavy iron locks were like the fangs of a wild beast, clenching at the doorway, only the faint smell of dust and mildew broke free from the cracks and drifted into the air.

I didn't have time to say what to say and do when I met, so Kusama quickly took out the key uncharacteristically, opened the door and walked in eagerly.

"Smack!"

In my hurry, I seemed to step on some utensil, and when I looked down, it was a bowl with leftover soup, and the raw materials of the food were mixed with grass and earth, and there was a musty smell. The part that fell on the ground spread out, and it was clearly visible that there were blue-black stones deliberately placed inside......

Is this the cat demon's daily meal?

For the first time, anger ignited in Kuma's heart, and there was a faint pain in his chest. Calm down and strode in.

Tear down the wooden fence that was nailed around and enter the room where the cat demon is.

Standing in the doorway, the sound of silk and silk talking came out, and I listened carefully to the two children talking.

"Now, what do you look like? Is it really a cat? How big is it? Can I hold it? Can you still talk? Or do you bark like a real cat?" the child who asked the question had a cheerful voice, and his crisp and pleasant voice echoed in the empty room.

After a long time, the other replied, unlike the previous child-like lightness, his voice was thick and hoarse, gloomy and lifeless, "What is there to see, monsters transform and eat people." ”

"Wow! You're better than a bird! He puts on a stinky face every day, and looks like he's going to eat people, and he doesn't scare children. ”

Cao Mo really stuck to the door frame and looked in, only to see a silver-haired little boy pouting, his delicate facial features vividly expressing dissatisfaction, very cute, "It's a pity that I'm not a girl, otherwise I must hug Ah Jiao, see what kind of cat you are." ”

The other slender figure squatting in a shadow-covered corner trembled visibly, and then lowered his orange-yellow furry head and said in an inaudible voice, "You won't like it, you'll only be afraid." ”

That kind of self can only end up being disgusted and abandoned, just like being hated by everyone since he was born. Obviously I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't know anything, but I was still imprisoned in this dilapidated room as a monster with a lot of sin. I don't know what color the sky outside is, what the flowers smell like, what the sun feels like, and day after day I finally numb myself...... Quietly and desperately awaited the arrival of death.

Suddenly, I was embraced into a warm embrace that I had never felt before.

"That's why I hate children the most, I think I know everything, but I'm actually awkward and stubborn. It's not your fault that they're locked up here, it's just that they didn't find out what was good about you. Don't care what those people think of you, at least I like you, whether you change or not, I like you. The silver-haired boy's little hands tightly hugged the orange boy's waist, and rubbed his face against each other with a smile, not minding the gray stains all over the other party's body, "Of course, if you transform into the best, talking cat, how fun it will be!"

The orange-yellow boy raised his hand tremblingly and tentatively placed it on the silver-haired boy's shoulder, and for the first time his dull eyes showed a child's uneasy feelings, "I'm sorry......"

"Huh?" let go of him, tilting his head in confusion.

The orange-yellow boy didn't explain any more, just gently stroked his slightly smudged shoulder. It was the first time he saw the silver-haired boy just now, and he lost his mind and slammed it with all his might. Although he has been locked up for many years, his body is very poor. But the other party was obviously unprepared, and was still hit against the wall, and the shoulder made a pop when it touched the wall.

The sound was the same as the sound of an adult throwing him into this room, so subconsciously, he felt that the other party must be in pain.

"Well, you kid still have a conscience. The silver-haired boy hugged him indifferently, reached out to rub his orange-yellow hair, and kissed an adult mouth, "You are older than me, you are my brother, you have to take good care of me in the future to make up for it, you know?"

"Oh. Nodding ignorantly, he would agree to whatever the silver-haired boy said now.

The first person ever to hug himself, the first person to say he likes himself, the first person to say it's not his fault, the first person to treat himself as a normal person...... He is willing to give back with what he can give.

Seeing this, Cao Mo's eyes deepened, and he leaned out and walked in.

The two boys looked up at him together, one smiling, the other nervous and frightened.

Nodding at the silver-haired boy, he walked over to them and squatted down, his eyes gently looking at the slightly trembling kitten, "I'll take you out, will you come with me?"

"Hey, is the uncle a child trafficker, where are you going to take the cat?" the silver-haired boy stepped forward and protected the kitten behind him.

Cao Mo Zhen smiled: "My name is Cao Mo Zhen and I am the adopter of Ah Jia. ”

"Are you going to take Ah Jia out to live?"

"Hmm. ”

The silver-haired boy's big eyes looked straight at Kusama, as if he wanted to see into his heart. After a while, he raised his smile and turned back and asked, "Ah Jia, he is not a bad person, don't worry." Are you going with him?"

For the grass Moji, who has never seen or seen the outside world, it is a very luxurious wish to go out and live, and if it can be realized, of course he wants to. But...... Wouldn't that man leave him? wouldn't he really be afraid and disgusted with himself if he was to transform in front of him?

As if he understood what the cat was thinking, Cao Mo patiently explained, "I will teach you martial arts, take you out to play, as long as I can give you will satisfy you." It doesn't matter if you transform, I've seen everything as an adult, so you don't have to worry. ”

I won't turn away again, I won't stay on the sidelines indifferently like I did with my grandfather.

The kitten looked at the silver-haired boy pitifully, and only after receiving the other party's affirmation did he grit his teeth and nodded—the big deal was that he was sent back.

It's just that...... Will he ever see this buddy again?

"I'll go see you. The boy put the cat's hand in Kumama's hand and waved behind them, smiling brightly, "My name is Izawa, remember!"

Kusama's pupils constricted when he heard the name, was that the boy who was discussed along the way?

looked at Ah Jia beside him, who looked nervous and at a loss, and was puzzled.

The same fate, even more tragic than Ah Jia's, why would there be such a warm smile?

Walking to the door, Cao Mo remembered one thing, and lowered his head and asked Ah Jiao, "Izawa...... It's that boy just now, how did he get in?"

The kitten was obviously a little nervous about Cao Mozhen's questioning, and stammered and replied, "I, I don't know, it's very sudden, I don't know how he got in, I didn't notice ......"

"Uncle, don't ask the cat, this is my ability. At some point, Izawa also came out, stretching and smiling lazily. "You have to take good care of the cats, or I'll get them back." ”

Reaching for Raize's arm, there was a hot "Are you feverish?"

I think of the whispers of the people...... I heard that the thing fell into the pond and fainted again today, and I don't know if I am still breathing.

"Why are you here?" asked again.

Only Ah Jia next to him looked at Ize worriedly, he knew what it was like to have a fever. In a cold room, fever is a common occurrence and is not a pleasant experience.

Izawa smiled comfortingly, "Uncle, you have a lot of questions, I'm here...... I just want to see what my future will be like. ”

Kusama's body stiffened.

This kid ...... Do you know that?
