Chapter 321: "Annie" (4700 words)
Ever since coming here, the orange cat has behaved like an ordinary feline.
It's just that Zheng Xiu had doubts from the beginning, and there would be no such coincidence.
The world is so big, the sky is so far, where can't the orange cat go, but it appeared in front of him.
So Zheng Xiu went through the process again and raised the same orange cat.
Speaking of which, when Zheng Xiu inadvertently tried to recall the "previous owner" of the orange cat, he also had the same sense of disobedience, which was stronger than other places. Perhaps it was because of the direct relationship between the orange cat and Fengbei that the relationship between "the origin of the orange cat" after the "disappearance of Fengbei" was reconstructed by the interference of some force, so that Zheng Xiu noticed the abnormality.
When the orange cat spoke, Zheng Xiu was surprised, and the first question asked was "Who are you".
Although the orange cat's expression at the moment is not much different from the past, there are three points of cuteness, three points of clarity, three points of laziness, and a point of undisguised arrogance and contempt, but Zheng Xiu still noticed for the first time that the orange cat "talking" at this moment is not the previous orange cat - at least, the personality is not the same.
He even suspected that if he threw a fishcake at the orange cat at this moment, it would disdainfully slap it away with its paws and sneer: stupid human.
"It doesn't matter who I am." The corners of the orange cat's furry mouth tilted to the sides, revealing an expression that seemed to be "smiling": "The container named 'Fengbei' no longer exists. ”
"Impossible!"
Zheng Xiu raised his eyebrows and shook his head in denial.
"Whew!" The orange cat's sneering expression was as arrogant and full of disdain as Zheng Xiu had imagined: "Stupid container." ”
There are some subtle differences, it does not refer to Zheng Xiu as a "stupid human", including Fengbei, it uses a very strange name - "container". This strange title made Zheng Xiu can't help but have a heart. But he didn't ask much at the moment, he was eager to get more news about Fengbei from the orange cat.
The orange cat jumped off the windowsill and walked slowly on the ground, looking at its paws with a look of disgust on its face. It seems that even walking on this dirty ground is also a kind of "blasphemy" against its identity, its body, and its existence.
"I am not admonishing you, I am consulting with you, but now that I am before you, you should be grateful, grateful, and accept my warning, and take this matter to heart, and carry it out scrupulously."
The orange cat stood on tiptoe and lowered its head. At this time, its mouth did not move, but the indifferent voice came into Zheng Xiu's mind.
Zheng Xiu clenched his fist, and in the fist, he gently rubbed his tail finger, and the circle was wrapped around the texture of "Li". He quickly calmed down and looked at the orange cat close at hand: "You have to tell me why." ”
The orange cat tilted its head, and there was a little more doubt in her voice: "Is the 'answer' important to you?" ”
“……”
"If I tell you that the moment you learn the 'answer,' you will die and you will disappear without a trace, then do you want to know anything called the 'answer'?"
“……”
The orange cat raised a paw, and its furry face stared straight at Zheng Xiu, and there was a little more sarcasm in his voice: "So, the 'answer' already has it." What you think is an important 'answer' is actually worthless. ”
Zheng Xiu smiled, faintly, like a wisp of wind.
"So, if you tell me the answer, I'm going to die?"
The orange cat thought for a moment and shook his head: "No." ”
me.
Zheng Xiu stumbled under his feet, and his fist almost accidentally landed on the orange cat's face.
"Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you." The orange cat took another step closer: "Her 'reason' with this place was cut off by herself." ”
"Reason", cut off?
When Zheng Xiu heard this, his face was surprised, this word only appeared in his mind out of thin air like an epiphany not long ago, and when it came out of the mouth of the orange cat at this moment, Zheng Xiu always felt weird.
"Isn't it weird? Container for fish lips. The orange cat laughed at Zheng Xiu again, and it seemed to see through Zheng Xiu's thoughts: "Everything you can see, understand, and feel is made up of 'reason'. ”
"When you perceive the existence of 'Li', you also know it."
"But for you, there is not much difference between knowing and not knowing. Many people have wanted to give different definitions to 'reason', human reason, heavenly reason, axioms, reason, ethics, physics, mathematics, qi reason, ......"
One by one, the "nouns" with different painting styles came out of the orange cat's mouth, and the more Zheng Xiu listened, the more strange his face became.
The orange cat continued:
"But the 'these' they give are just a drop in the ocean and the tip of the iceberg of 'reason'."
Zheng Xiu frowned suddenly, he didn't understand what the orange cat said had to do with "Fengbei's whereabouts".
The orange cat sighed and began to curse again: "Stupid container." It tilted its head, as if thinking. After a while, the orange cat said, "To put it simply, it's 'connection'. ”
"Huh? How so? As soon as he heard "to put it simply", Zheng Xiu came to his senses, sat obediently like a primary school student, and listened to Teacher Cat's lecture.
"You stand on the ground, the ground supports you, this is a kind of 'reason', you blow the wind, breathe the air, this is also a kind of 'reason', you will feel pain because of the cold, you will sweat profusely because of the heat, this is also a kind of 'reason', you will cry, you can laugh, you can talk, you will get married, you will have children, you will miss your parents, these are also 'reason', Yue Linglong, you and her husband and wife, this is 'reason', Qing Thirteen, you and he are close friends, this is also 'reason'. Your connection with 'here' is nothing more than relying on a trace of 'reason', and there are many 'connections' with 'here', so that you can stand here, breathe, and live. ”
Zheng Xiu understood, but the moment he understood, a chill quietly crept up his back, like a slippery little snake, quietly burrowing in Zheng Xiu's clothes. There was an imperceptible tremor in Zheng Xiu's calm voice: "You mean, Fengbei's 'reason' has been cut off?" What happens if it's cut off? ”
"Not 'cut off,' but 'she cut off.'" The orange cat raised another paw, and the pink ball of meat was aimed at Zheng Xiu, and it seriously corrected Zheng Xiu's words: "As for what you will do...... if you ask?"
Zheng Xiu's breath stagnated and listened quietly.
This time, the orange cat told Zheng Xiu neatly: "Cutting off the 'reason' with 'here' is equivalent to the container named 'Fengbei' and all the connections between here, and it will be completely severed." ”
"You can have many understandings."
"Ascension, detachment, breakthrough, promotion......" The orange cat's tone at the moment was so cold that Zheng Xiu was frightened, and it paused: "Or, death, annihilation, obliteration, elimination." ”
Under the long sleeves, Zheng Xiu subconsciously hooked his tail finger.
"So, where did she go?"
The above sentence is equivalent to not saying.
Can the words in front and the words in the back be put together?
It's terrible to be uneducated.
"Ascension, detachment, breakthrough, promotion, death......"
The orange cat repeated what he had just said, and its two vertical pupils flashed with a cold light: "This is ...... 'answer'." ”
"I see." Zheng Xiu's tail finger quietly hooked again, and after taking a deep breath, he nodded: "I understand." ”
"Huh?" The orange cat tilted its head and glanced at Zheng Xiu.
"Then I still have a question." Zheng Xiu raised two fingers, indicating that this was the "second", and said, "Who are you?" ”
"You don't want to know, with your current status, you can't understand the existence of 'we'." The orange cat yawned.
Zheng Xiu looked at the orange cat with a firm gaze: "What if I say that this is also the 'answer' I want to know?" I think it's important. ”
"More important than 'Fengbei'?"
The orange cat asked a strange question.
Zheng Xiu wondered, thought about it, and nodded.
"Okay."
A playful smile suddenly appeared on the orange cat's face.
"Since you want to ......"
"Then,"
"Die."
The orange cat happily stretched out its paws.
Scold.
In an instant, the situation in front of Zheng Xiu's eyes changed greatly. All the sounds in his ears were gone.
In the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye, he came to a vast void.
There was no sky, no earth, no light, and there was a thick gray and red fog all around.
The fog is like the sea, floating and sinking.
A snow-white and delicate foot like a girl broke through the clouds and stepped on Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu looked up, and he found that he was not covered in a single strand, suspended in this strange space. He looked at the foot that had stepped out of the clouds, his mouth wide open, his eyes split.
That foot was as smooth as jade, pure white and flawless, stepping on Zheng Xiu. It seems like a happy event.
The premise is ...... This jade foot is not that big.
The huge jade foot was like a huge planet, and Zheng Xiu wanted to take the outline of the whole foot into his eyes, but he was shocked to find that it was an impossible thing to accomplish. As the huge jade foot pressed down little by little, Zheng Xiu could even clearly see the "texture" on the soles of the feet.
The "texture" that seemed to be a "fingerprint" was actually composed of a distorted and miserable white "corpse", on which they were squeezed, distorted, and hideous, there were no facial features, and only some distorted hollows were left due to the terrible squeezing force.
Thousand?
Ten thousand?
Lakh?
Million?
Million?
Millions?
Numbers kept popping up in Zheng Xiu's mind, and he couldn't estimate how many resentful souls were lying under that foot. A tsunami-like cry faintly sounded in his ears, and billions of heart-rending voices wrung together roughly, brushing past Zheng Xiu's ears in the blink of an eye. The extreme silence was followed by a sharp whistling, and Zheng Xiu's head was rushed to the point that he lost the ability to think, and he went blank, looking at the jade foot that was pressing down on him with a blank look.
In front of that terrible foot, he was like an ant, like a grain of dust, like a drop of dew, like a cell, too small to be mentioned. Zheng Xiu, who had lost the ability to think, kept flashing back to one word in his mind - "death".
He's going to die!
He's going to die!
He's going to die!
Zheng Xiu opened his mouth wide, trying to say something, shouting words such as "help", "don't", "stop", a terrible sense of impending death hit, and he had a premonition that he would soon become the most inconspicuous stroke in that foot, among the billions of textures.
It's close!
It's close!
It's close!
That foot has become a piece of sky, and Zheng Xiu's eyes are full of white flowers.
For the first time, he experienced the fear of being "big and white".
"Po~"
The soft lump of flesh between the orange cat's claws pressed on Zheng Xiu's forehead, making a strange sound.
Zheng Xiu's feet were empty, there was a flower in front of him, and there was silence all around, and in the next second, he saw his ass and his back.
"It's ......"
The terrible scene just now was like an illusion, Zheng Xiu was immersed in the scene, felt a "jade-footed hell", in a blink of an eye, the illusion disappeared, and he was slapped on the forehead by an orange cat with his paws, and saw "himself".
The scene switched too quickly, so that Zheng Xiu took a while before he reacted.
I'm floating in mid-air, like I'm losing gravity.
Looking down, "I" was sweating profusely at some point, his hair was wet, and the long hair on his forehead was stained with sweat in bunches, which were ugly on his face.
The door of the inn pushed open a crack, revealing Keisan's hand.
Everything was still.
"It's ...... My human soul? ”
Zheng Xiu quickly understood his situation.
It's not the first time he's used an avatar to fugue.
But this time it was a little different, he was slapped out of his soul by the orange cat.
Time passed slowly, and the door of the inn was pushed open not completely still, but a little, a centimeter inward. But this is extremely slow, as if it would take years to open the door.
"Sure enough, you're special."
The orange cat floated in front of Zheng Xiu at some point, staring at Zheng Xiu's small chest and blinking.
Zheng Xiu followed the orange cat's gaze to his chest, and he was surprised to find that there were three different colors of flames lit on the chest of his translucent human soul.
Three?
Zheng Xiu suddenly felt that this number was wrong, red, yellow, and green, there were indeed three kinds.
The orange cat touched his chin with his paws and nodded vigorously: "Your 'Xiang' is gone." ”
The human soul is divided into four parts: meaning, shape, direction, and movement.
After a while, the orange cat slapped its paws and suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder you are 'imprisoned', without 'Xiang', naturally you can't go anywhere." ”
The orange cat asked and answered itself, which made Zheng Xiu stunned for a moment, but it didn't seem to have any intention of explaining this matter to Zheng Xiu, and pointed out the door: "It's more convenient to talk like this." ”
It licked its paws, and the corners of its mouth curled: "Now, do you understand the difference between me and you?" My name, my existence, my form, my words, even if you understand even a little more, will make you collapse and die, die completely. ”
"So, now, your life is mine."
The orange cat stepped on the top of Zheng Xiu's head in front of Zheng Xiu, and it used Zheng Xiu's head as a stool, and rubbed it with its buttocks, moved it, and found a comfortable position.
It arrogantly claimed that Zheng Xiu's life was now theirs.
Zheng Xiu's human soul instantly showed a subtle expression: =_=?
There was silence for a while.
"May I be bold enough to translate your words?"
"Leave aside where Fengbei is going for the time being."
"Since you are so awesome, but you can only appear now, there must be some kind of opportunity."
"You pinch me to death as easily as pinching an ant to death, with a great, arrogant, immortal, and indescribable existence like you, you actually waste so many tongues, just to let me stay here honestly and do things for you."
"Even if you can easily kill me, you can let me go."
"Does that mean that you actually ...... Do you want me? ”
Zheng Xiu cautiously said "foreign language translation": "We are actually a cooperative relationship? ”
Orange Cat: "......"
Its expression suddenly became glazed.
After a while, the orange cat posed cutely on the top of Zheng Xiu's head: "Meow? ”
! Play disappear when you see through it?
A powerful suction force came from behind his belly.
Zheng Xiu's face was distorted and sucked back into his body.
Sou!
"Young master, what's wrong? We heard you yelling inside...... Hey? Why did Brother Dao fall? Is this a high drink? ”
Qing 13 and Yue Linglong pushed the door in, and the illusion in the sky had long since disappeared at this moment.
Qing 13 heard the shouts in the house, gasping for a while and hysterical for a while, worried in his heart, so he entered the door to take a peek.
As soon as he entered the door, Qing 13 saw an orange cat squatting quietly on top of Zheng Xiu's head, Zheng Xiu was soaked, and a big man was lying next to him, and the table was full of yellow-brown powder.
This scene made Qing 13 involuntarily think of a variety of possibilities.
"I'm fine, I'm tired."
Zheng Xiu didn't even want to find a reason, so he directly said that he was tired, and went back to the room with the little female orange cat.
On the road.
Zheng Xiu held the orange cat high above his head, looking at the orange cat that had regained its cute state, Zheng Xiu was angry and funny, and at the same time a little afraid.
"Big guy, big guy, female cat, female cat, little phoenix meow, little phoenix meow, since you have all shown up in the showdown, you can say whatever you have to say! Negotiation negotiation, how can you do it without talking? At the very least, you have to give me a password, a pseudonym or something, it's convenient to find you! Otherwise, when this orange cat encounters its menstrual period and goes out to find a male, do I watch it, or do I come forward to help? How do I know if the orange cat wants it or you don't......"
Zheng Xiu babbled as if talking to himself, and the orange cat rolled her eyes suddenly.
A name came to Zheng Xiu's mind, and it was the lazy tone with no doubt.
"Annie."
