Chapter 1: The Cat Under the Tree

Next Chapter

If I could, I would like to become a cat······

Lately, Jiang Sheng has always thought of such a thing for no reason.

There was no reason why he had to say it, it was just because the thought popped into his head, and then he had all kinds of thoughts.

If you want to say how much he likes cats, that's not all.

He just doesn't hate it.

I don't hate the kind of people in them, elegant and lazy temperament, and free and loose living habits.

It was probably on a summer afternoon that was a little unbearable and sultry.

When Jiang Sheng was walking on the road, he inadvertently saw a black cat lying on the side of the road pretending to sleep and wagging its tail.

This thought of his finally sprouted and grew with some restraint.

Well, I should be, I really want to be a cat, to live as cold and calm as they are.

Thin, but unrestrained.

Jiang Sheng said so definitely in his heart.

In the evening, in the crimson afterglow of the setting sun, the black cat may have sensed something, opened its golden eyes, and looked at the person standing in front of it for a while.

Then he meowed, turned his head and jumped into the wall of the street.

Without chasing the cat's figure again, Jiang Sheng stood on the side of the road and lowered his head.

He looked at his shadow on the ground, then turned again, as if in deep thought, and continued on his way home.

Maybe it's because he's thinking too much about things and he's thinking too much about it.

So much so that he didn't even notice the car coming across the street.

So, it's like the storyline of a novel.

The vehicle lost control.

Jiang Sheng's body was like a rag, and he was knocked into the air.

The screams, the noise, and the sudden braking of the vehicle echoed in Jiang Sheng's ears.

Jiang Sheng was expressionless, staring at the sky above him with trance eyes. I felt my body flying high and the sharp pain gradually coming from all over my body.

At this moment, what should have been a short period of time seems extraordinarily long.

The clouds seem to be being pulled back by the wind. He seemed to be falling from a high altitude into the deep sea, and from the deep sea into the sky.

The weightlessness calmed him down until he slowly lost consciousness.

After that, after that.

When Jiang Sheng woke up again.

He should be in an inexplicable and unbelievable way.

Got his wish and turned into a cat.

Yes.

Jiang Sheng, turned into a black cat.

……

In the sky, thin clouds drift leisurely, obscuring the light blue sky. It makes people unable to see the mysterious and hazy silence in the clear and boundless.

The warm yellow sunlight spreads on the streets, and the spring breeze blows comfortably.

The shadows of the trees on both sides of the road swayed with the green shade, and from time to time there would be a whisper of a fine grinding.

A sparrow folded its wings and stopped on a branch that had just sprouted, combing its feathers with its small beak.

Under the trees, there is silence in front of the benches for pedestrians to rest.

The chair made of metal, basked by the sun, carries a warmth that makes you want to take a nap.

At this moment, a black cat was lying on one of these chairs, yawning lazily.

At the same time, there was a moment on the ground, wagging his tail.

The name of the black cat is called Jiang Sheng.

It's been three months since it came into this world......

So far, Jiang Sheng has not figured out how he came to this world.

I didn't understand why it turned into a cat.

The only thing it knows for sure is that this is roughly a parallel plane similar to a previous life.

The scientific and technological level of the two is basically the same, the international situation is basically the same, and the geographical outlook is basically the same.

However, there are still many differences in cultural products and some social details.

There is no doubt that Jiang Sheng is now quite at a loss about his current situation and future goals.

After all, it's become a cat, isn't it, a cat that doesn't need to do any more life planning and work reports.

But there is no doubt that it is also unusually enjoying and enjoying this kind of life at this time.

Jiang Sheng is a person who is used to being aimless.

Or rather, he's a man who is used to going with the flow.

Jiang Sheng doesn't like to struggle, probably because of his growth experience, which made him develop the character he is now.

He is good at listening to the arrangement of "fate", and believes that the existence and coming and going of things have their own reasons.

So he doesn't mind losing a human body, and he doesn't mind the cat's relatively short lifespan.

What's more, being able to turn into a cat is also the last wish it had in its heart before it died in its previous life, isn't it?

It's got what it wants, so what's there to complain about.

Thinking like this, Jiang Sheng's tail hanging behind him shook a little more lazily.

It rested its chin against its two overlapping front paws, feeling the fur on its back warm from the sun.

Everything seems so quiet that it is now a "resident" of a certain park.

Rest during the day and wander the city at night in search of something clean and clean.

Life is supposed to go on like this.

At least in Jiang Sheng's own expectations, it will continue to live like this in the future.

But today seems destined to be an extraordinary day for it.

It's like the day it died in its previous life, as a person, with a kind of fate in the dark.

……

Jiang Sheng saw a dejected white shadow, and at a certain moment, it opened its eyes faintly.

It may be a bit inappropriate to say that the other party is a white shadow, because the thing can shine on its own.

Even if it is just a faint light, it is enough to prove that its existence is not a shadow.

The sun is still shining, but the scene in front of you is a little unrealistic.

Because in the world of sanity, there should not be what Jiang Sheng saw at the moment.

It was a white, illusory sphere.

It feels quite light and at the same time unreal. It seems to be alive, but it doesn't have any of the characteristics that life should have.

And Jiang Sheng, the reason why he feels that it is a "ball" that has lost his soul is actually completely out of his own subjective feelings.

Yes, the "ball" itself is naturally unable to express any emotions.

Because it has neither a face nor an eyes, nor a mouth.

But at this moment, Jiang Sheng is particularly clearly aware that he can perceive the other party's "mood".

I can't explain the reason, it's just a feeling.

It's like empathy, it just looks at the other party, and it really feels the dazed "heart" of its "heart", and there is a kind of loss that can't be let go.

What's that?

In Jiang Sheng's limited cognition, it obviously had never seen anything like a "sphere".

This made it curious, but not afraid.

It may be the nature of the cat that is at work.

Or maybe it's getting sharper and sharper, and it's sending a message to it that the thing is harmless to it.

So after observing for a while, Jiang Sheng slowly got up from his chair.

And with silent steps, he leaned towards the "sphere".

The cat's gait is always so sensitive, even if Jiang Sheng doesn't deliberately maintain it, its movements are still hidden.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and the translucent white ball of light never seemed to notice Jiang Sheng.

Just floating on the side of the park's trails and wandering alone.

Out of the feeling of nothingness in his heart, after three or four thoughts, Jiang Sheng, who had already walked under the "sphere", decided to try to communicate with the other party with his voice first.

"Meow."

So it figured it out left and right on a route that it could use to escape in the event of an accident.

Then he lifted his neck and let out a quiet call to the "sphere".

Unfortunately, its voice did not attract the attention of the other party.

Or maybe the other person doesn't have hearing at all. It is not essentially an object that can be communicated.

After all, so far, Jiang Sheng is only making one-sided conjectures.

It considers the "sphere" to be conscious.

And the basis for this is only its own subconscious judgment, which is difficult to explain by reason.

So this argument is clearly not credible enough, not convincing enough, and does not even stand up to its own scrutiny.

But at the moment, Jiang Sheng's strange feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

It could feel that the "white ball" floating in the air was exuding a strong emotion.

This emotion was like a big hand, grabbing Jiang Sheng's throat so that it couldn't leave.

In fact, Jiang Sheng is not a nosy person, or a cat.

According to its usual habits, it would never pay attention to any strange events like it does now.

It is even more impossible to be firmly attracted to the other party, and even unable to think about other things.

It's so disappointing......

However, under the mood of the spread of the "sphere", Jiang Sheng finally sat on the side of the road in a daze.

Tilt your head and stare at the front of a large tree, where the other party is.

Several passers-by walked past it and glanced curiously at the strange black cat.

They obviously couldn't see the "sphere", so they didn't think much about it.

In their eyes, the park is still as ordinary as ever, and with a little warmth.

Therefore, although there were some doubts, no one chose to stop and watch, but just continued their lives.

I really want to change something......

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Sheng's mind.

It was undoubtedly not Jiang Sheng's own idea, but an idea born under the influence of others.

But Jiang Sheng still unconsciously stretched out his claws.

When the "white ball" realized its approach, it slowly fell towards it.

In the silence of the two as if they were looking at each other, the black cat took the initiative to touch the "white ball".

And in the end, he completely lost consciousness.

……

When Jiang Sheng woke up again, the sky had already fallen into darkness.

It found itself lying on the grass in the park, starry in the night sky and insects chirping in the bushes.

The scenery was quiet and peaceful, as if nothing had happened before, and it was just sleeping.

But Jiang Sheng understood that he had indeed experienced some things, and at the same time, he knew exactly the origin of the "white ball" before.

Because during the period of time that "passed out", it got the memory of the "white ball".

And in the process, its mind is always sober.

Even because he lost control of his body, Jiang Sheng was able to think more purely.

Even now, it has tried to draw some inferences that are as plausible as possible.

Now, these inferences are not complicated.

After summarizing, there should be only a few sentences, and here is a brief list.

First of all, the existence of the "white ball" is probably what it knew as a human being, such as ghosts and ghosts. It is a collection of some residue after death, condensed.

Second: the reason why the "white ball" lingers in the park is because it still has a strong desire to live that has not been fulfilled. That's why after he died, he became the kind of body that Jiang Sheng saw, and stayed here and refused to leave.

Thirdly: ordinary people do not seem to see this kind of soul.

Fourth: Maybe it's because of the identity of the cat, or maybe it's for some other reason, it can see the spirits that have not yet died.

You can even "absorb" the other party by touching, so as to obtain part of the other party's memory.

In addition, after "digesting" a certain amount of spirits, it seems that some inexplicable changes will occur in its body. So that its individual functions have been comprehensively improved under the condition that the shape remains unchanged.

For example, now.

Yes, if the original Jiang Sheng was just an ordinary wild cat.

Now it has undoubtedly turned into an unusually strong wild cat.

Although it is still not out of the category of cats, its physical fitness has long surpassed that of ordinary small cats and reached the level of most medium-sized cats.

For example: servals, caracals, etc.

Placed in a complete ecological chain, it feels like it can already try to prey on some medium-sized ungulate species.

That's pretty much the information at the moment, as for whether other cats can see spirits.

Including that since there are spirits in this world, whether there will be things similar to evil spirits and monsters, Jiang Sheng doesn't know.

In fact, it doesn't bother to think about it.

As it thinks, it's too good at receptive.

The four words of being content with the status quo are almost synonymous with Jiang Sheng's temperament.

So no matter how bad the situation is, it can basically accept it calmly. Just like the kind of calm it showed in its previous life, before it died.

Jiang Sheng never complained, and he never worried.

What's more, it's actually in a pretty good situation right now, so what does it have to think about?

But......

Slowly stood up from the grass.

Jiang Sheng was a little rusty, manipulating his body, which had become a lot more "fierce", and turned his head to look at the big tree in the park.

A pair of golden pupils flickered thoughtfully.

Since I have received your gift, I will be responsible for helping you make your wish come true......
