Chapter 4: Doom
The curtains were blown lightly by the breeze.
The old man's room still didn't close the windows.
If you want to say how Jiang Sheng found this place, it is, of course, with the help of Gao Shan's memory.
After eating the dried fish, the black cat left Natsuko's house without any regrets.
It jumped straight out of the windowsill, and the height of the second floor was really not an obstacle to its current body.
The footpads under the feet make it almost silent when it lands, and it is almost impractical to be dexterous.
However, from an objective point of view, the current Jiang Sheng is indeed not an ordinary wild cat.
After all, an ordinary wild cat does not possess the physical functions of a medium-sized cat.
If it weren't for his small size, Jiang Sheng would probably have been able to knock down some thinner adults in the case of a sudden attack.
Of course, as a stray cat in the city, it doesn't really need to be very strong.
Jumping higher and running faster can only be regarded as some unexpected gains for Jiang Sheng.
So......
Take a leisurely stroll through the lawn on the side of the street.
The black cat turned his back to the sky, yawned, and thought to himself unhurriedly.
Did you see, she took it, oh, the ring.
In that case, you should be able to leave with peace of mind.
Naturally, these words were addressed to Takayama.
Although Jiang Sheng didn't know if the soul that was "eaten" by himself would still be sane, he still felt that he should tell it.
In the end, Gao Shan's appearance of not being able to let go still makes him a little concerned.
The next second.
Jiang Sheng suddenly felt a refreshing coolness welling up in his heart.
This feeling is like drinking a cold drink in the hot summer, which makes Jiang Sheng's lazy temperament refreshed.
Subsequently, Jiang Sheng found that his vision actually became clearer, and even his thinking became a little more active.
At the same time, it was as if something had left its body and drifted into the unknown distance.
Jiang Sheng, who seemed to feel something, stopped, turned his head to look in the direction of the sky, and shook his ears again.
Yes......
It seems that your wish has been realized.
Then just wait.
Waiting for your reunion in the next life.
At that point, you'll have to remember to be more romantic.
No matter how many rings you have, don't forget to bring them with you.
……
For the next two days, Jiang Sheng didn't sleep well.
For it realizes that it seems to be getting easier and easier to see the souls of all kinds of living creatures.
They are even already being heard.
Yes, Jiang Sheng found that he could not see all living spirits clearly.
At the same time, according to the current situation.
It surmised that it could only discern souls with strong wills.
Therefore, in the previous three months, it had only seen the remnants of Gao Shan alone.
But since receiving the other party's "thank you gift".
In just two days now, Jiang Sheng has already met dozens of different spirits.
Among them were people, animals, and even a tree.
On average, one out of every twenty single individuals has a particularly conspicuous spirit.
Luckily, they are still clinging to their bodies.
Jiang Sheng did not encounter any "dead" souls again.
That is, like the mountains, the "lonely ghosts" themselves are dead, but they are still wandering around.
The reason for this is that the vast majority of spirits seem to be born from living bodies.
And as life passes, they seem to dissipate with it.
Spirits that can exist alone by virtue of attachment are obviously rare.
In addition, the spirit that coexists with living things, Jiang Sheng can't absorb it, which is its instinctive cognition.
As for the "resentful spirit" that Jiang Sheng thought at the beginning, it was even more impossible to find it.
Even if the other party exists, Jiang Sheng is not sure.
Right now, it just thinks that the souls in the vicinity are too noisy.
It is always muttering to itself, and the sound will often "sway" into its ears, so that it can't listen if it doesn't want to.
However, this can be regarded as confirming Jiang Sheng's conjecture.
The cohesion of the spirit must be inextricably linked to the power of willingness.
Because the whispers of those spirits are usually their own obsessions.
The heavier the obsession, the clearer their appearance will be, and the more affirmative their voice will be.
Speaking of which......
In addition to the above gossip, there is another thing worth mentioning, that is, since Jiang Sheng's eyes were stimulated by the mountains.
It began to be able to see that it seemed to have a black aura wrapped around its body all along.
And this black gas seems to bring bad luck to the people around it without it being conscious.
In fact, Jiang Sheng only gradually realized this after several unusual experiences.
These include, but are not limited to, children playing in the park who fell due to black gas, Natsuko who wanted to thank him for breaking the plate due to black gas, and students who touched it, and failed the exam the next day, etc.
And all this is just what happened in just two days.
Although Jiang Sheng felt that the failure of students in exams should have nothing to do with it.
But I have to admit that in many other incidents, it has been confirmed that its "breath" can indeed make people unlucky.
So, in the third month and three days after crossing into this world, Jiang Sheng finally clarified his actual situation.
He turned into a black cat.
A black cat that can see souls and bring bad luck to people at the same time.
The black gas on its body will "pollute" the pure mind.
So it began to deliberately distance itself from the good.
……
"Little one."
Walking on the streets that became more and more familiar, Jiang Sheng suddenly heard Natsuko's call.
It looked up and saw Natsuko standing by the half-open window, smiling and waving at it.
In the room on the second floor, she still had the glittering gold ring on her hand, and in front of her was a plate full of dried fish.
The old man's smile was so happy, completely different from the twilight he saw when Jiang Sheng first saw her.
That's nice......
The black cat standing under a telephone pole wagged its tail, then turned around leisurely and walked away slowly.
Ignoring the behind, Xia Zi's incomprehensible gaze was a little lost.
What are you going to have for breakfast today?
Jiang Sheng thought.
Well, or go through the trash cans on the street......
Anyway, it's just a wild cat, just find something to fill your belly, and you don't care about your body yet.
In the distance, there are still occasional spiritual voices.
With all kinds of wishes, they remain in this world.
But Jiang Sheng didn't plan to meddle in their affairs anymore.
On the one hand, it's because of its laziness.
On the other hand, also because of its misfortune.
