Volume 1 Sleepwalking for the Male God 001 - Strange Kittens
Except for the whirring wind, the night is so quiet that there is no sound, and the dim street lamps flicker on and off, illuminating the haze of the night, which is in stark contrast to the bustling street not far away. These old alleys that have not yet been demolished have very backward facilities.
Xi Xi wrapped his coat tightly and quickened his pace. Every night, this part of the road is the trip she fears the most. When the weather is nice, you can also take advantage of the moonlight, the bells of bicycles passing by, or the lights of electric vehicles.
At this time, the weather was unusually cold and windy, and people hid under the covers early. Xi Xi glanced up and said to himself, "It looks like it's going to snow." ”
As if in response to her, there was a "whoosh" sound behind her.
This...... Xi Xi paused slightly, and pretended to be indifferent, his eyes quickly turned left and right, but he didn't see anything. Maybe something was blown down by the wind, so don't scare yourself.
"Whoosh-"
Xi Xi's heart twitched, tightened his coat again, and ran forward quickly.
"Meow...... Meow ......"
"Huh?" Xi Xi stopped, turned on the flashlight that came with the phone, and saw clearly that there was an orange kitten not far away. Xi Xi stroked his chest, the emotion was the sound it made, fortunately, it was a false alarm.
The kitten was not afraid of life, and when he saw her stop, he ran to her with a cheerful cry and rubbed her feet.
Xi Xi picked it up: "It's so cute, are you lost?" ”
"Meow......" The cat rubbed against her chest.
"Why do you like to eat human tofu as a cat!" Xi Xi angrily put it down.
"Meow...... Meow...... "The cat stared at her and barked, looking very ...... Wretched.
Xi Xi thought about it, and there was a bag of dried fish given by his classmates in his pocket, took it out and opened it and put it on the ground, the kitten sniffed it, and ate it happily. Soon, the dried fish bottomed out, and the kitten looked at her with watery eyes.
Xi Xi squatted down: "I don't have anything to eat anymore, if you want, come home with me." ”
Through the observation just now, she has found that this is a stray cat, it has no collar, it has not cut its toenails, and its body is still a little dirty.
The kitten seemed to understand her words, and it was "meow...... Meow ......" and rubbed against her feet.
"Alright, you can come with me. I'll hold you again when I'll wash you up. Xi Xi said as he walked, "But I can tell you, I'm just a poor student, I can't afford to have a pet, I can only promise to give you food and bathing, you eat whatever I eat, if you want to be a rich pet cat, then don't follow me." ”
"Meow ......" the kitten barked as if dissatisfied, but did not stop.
This is a pink world, surrounded by pink roses, pink clouds floating in the sky, and pink heart-shaped balloons, floating around, the air is filled with a romantic and warm atmosphere.
Xi Xi lowered his head and plucked up the courage to raise it, his cheeks flushed: "Senior...... I...... I ......"
"Xi Xi, I like you, I've always liked you!" The senior's gentle and magnetic voice penetrated into her heart.
"Senior!" Xi Xi's eyes twinkled with stars, looking at the person in front of him who had dreamed of it.
His fingertips lifted her chin and his face drew closer and closer......
"Senior......" Xi Xi blushed and closed his eyes shyly, expecting to lift his chin slightly......
"Senior...... Senior...... I'm so ashamed......" Xi Xi rolled around with the quilt while dripping, and her dream, at the moment, was like a projection, displayed on the wall with pink wallpaper.
On the desk not far away, an orange kitten, glowing with light, was staring at the projection, the corners of its mouth curled from time to time.
"Senior!"
The senior in the dream suddenly disappeared, Xi Xi sat up, rubbed his eyes, and muttered, "Alas, it's a dream again...... If only it were true......" he said and fell down again.
After a few moments, she sat up again and pointed to the cat with a trembling hand: "You...... You...... You...... Youkai! ”
As the scream sounded, the orange cat's body was red light, and it lit up the entire room in an instant, and then quickly converged and solidified, forming a ball, enveloping her cry and not transmitting a single trace.
Xi Xi unconsciously wrapped the quilt tightly, trembling, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and then, she patted her head: "It must be a dream again, why is this dream getting stranger and stranger?" As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell back on the bed, "Sleep, sleep, sleep, and have a good dream......"
"You're not dreaming!" The orange cat actually spoke, but it was an adult man's voice.
"Huh?" Xi Xi sat up again with confused eyes, "Why is this dream endless?" He waved at the orange cat, "Good, don't make trouble, go back quickly, I don't like nightmares, you go to other people's dreams......"
"I've already said it, it's not a dream!" The orange cat was a little angry.
"Okay, you said it's not a dream, it's not a dream, what are you giving me a dream, say it quickly, I'm going to sleep after that!" Xi Xi said and yawned.
"The time I have been able to use mana in the outside world is very short, you can sit down and hear clearly!" The sound was not loud, but it hit Xi Xi's eardrums, and she suddenly woke up, and looked at it with some confusion.
"My name is Dream Tapir, and I should have existed in your legends, and we, the race that have lived from ancient times to the present, should have been in a corner, and should not have appeared in the world. However, as the aura in the world became weaker and weaker, and more and more genocides were committed, my spiritual power also degraded a lot. While still in a war, I was separated from my master, the White Tiger Divine Monarch. ”
"So what are you looking for me to do?" Xi Xi looked at it inexplicably.
"I ask you, do you often have very strange dreams that feel very real? Sometimes you can control the direction of your dreams, and sometimes you can't, and you will be haunted by nightmares and repeat the same dreams until you untie the knot in the heart of the person in the dream? ”
Xi Xi blinked his eyes and unconsciously pecked the rice: "How do you know?" ”
"I'm a dream tapir," the orange cat held its head proudly, "not only can I suck nightmares, but I can also protect people and help them create new dreams." As long as it's related to dreams, I know it. ”
"Nightmares are fear for you humans, but for me, they are a great supplement. With enough dreams, my spiritual power can be restored, and I can find my master. ”
"So, you deliberately followed me?" Xi Xi seemed to understand something.
"That's right! Because you have a very special gravitational attraction in your body, you can lead to dreams, to put it bluntly, you can dream of many stories that happen in parallel time and space, and your thoughts can travel through time and space. So I want you to cooperate with me to resolve the nightmare and turn it into a sweet dream. ”
Listening to these incredible words, Xi Xi still felt that she was dreaming, but one thing she knew very well was that she couldn't easily promise people in her dreams, and she was haunted by nightmares because she made promises easily but failed to do them before.
Tilting his head and blinking: "I don't want it!" I'm just an ordinary college student, and I don't have such a big ability! As he spoke, he buried his head in the quilt again.
"If you don't agree, you will never dream of your senior again." The orange cat said softly.
"What!" Xi Xi sat up with a bullet.
"I'm a dream tapir, I can eat your dreams." The orange cat laughed sinisterly.
"You...... You...... I...... I don't believe it! An orange cat that is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, and dares to say that it is a dream tapir! Xi Xi held on to his momentum.
"Look!"
I saw that the body of the orange cat became huge like a balloon, no, it should be said that its shadow became as large as if it was inflated, and its appearance also changed. The nose is getting longer and longer, and the shape of the tail has also changed: elephant trunk, oxtail, tiger feet, although you can only look at the shadow and see if it is a rhinoceros, but Xi Xi believes it, this is the dream tapir described in the book.
"I won't let you help me in vain, if you help me recover my mana, I can open the dream, let you know what your senior is thinking, and help you get his heart."
"Really?" Xi Xi suddenly came to his senses.
"Even if I don't have that much ability, as long as I find my master, the White Tiger Divine Monarch, his magic power is boundless, and he will definitely be able to help you fulfill your wishes."
"So?" Xi Xi began to think deeply, "If you just need to have a nightmare, okay, I promise!" ”
"Then let's sign a contract! You put your hand out! "The shadow of the orange cat has been restored to its original state.
Xi Xi stretched out her white hand, and the orange cat stretched out her paws, scratching the skin on her index finger in one fell swoop, and blood flowed out. I saw that the blood was glowing with golden light, floating to the center of the orange cat's eyebrows, and a circle of ripples appeared, and there was an inexplicable induction between a person and a cat.
"Alright, you can sleep."
Seeing Xi Xi fall asleep again, the light on the orange cat's body slowly faded, and with a "meow" call, he curled up on the sofa chair, covered his eyes with his tail, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Xi Xi woke up, tilted his head and looked at the orange cat for a long time, and said to himself: "Little orange, I had a very strange dream last night, I dreamed that you said that you are a dream tapir......"
"I said, that's not a dream!" The orange cat jumped up angrily, startling Xi Xi.
"Why hasn't this dream woken up yet! It's not scientific! Xi Xi tried to twist his cheek, and suddenly bared his teeth in pain, and then looked at the orange cat incredulously and said, "Are you really a dream tapir?" ”
"Of course!" The orange cat suddenly became arrogant, "If you don't believe it, look at your hands again." ”
When Xi Xi saw the wound on his index finger, he finally couldn't help believing it, it turned out that there was really such a strange thing in this world, and looked at it left and right: "Then why did you become an orange cat?" ”
"I don't have enough mana to maintain my original size, and I won't be caught by some of your self-righteous scientists for study."
Xi Xi gave it a roll of the eyes: "Then you can also become something else!" ”
"The most important thing is that the orange cat is cute, and cute, which is convenient for seducing little girls!" The orange cat smiled smugly again.
"Poof-" Xi Xi spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
