Chapter 11: The Plague of the Black Cat (Additional α-LINE)
【α——line】
Speaking of which, my grandparents are all super invincible and powerful bosses in the spirit world, and of course, so are their friends, basically the ceiling of various fields.
When the first family photo was taken, the grandparents were in attendance, and they usually traveled around the spiritual world, so it was difficult to see them.
You may not believe it, my grandmother has an ageless face, and so does my grandfather, God knows what they went through, my parents are better than them, uh, old? Well, it's not a good thing to say that my parents are old, I can only say that my parents are much more mature than my grandfather.
They look like they're in their early twenties! It's unbelievable.
Back to the point, my grandma is really, really beautiful, that kind of beauty that never gets old, you know? This is the envy of all women, and of course, anyone.
She is always dressed in a red delicate dress, and there is a beautiful scar on her forehead, that scar is like a beautiful plum blossom, and there are similar white plum blossoms on her grandfather's black dress, maybe this is a family tradition, this tradition is really! That's great! When I grow up, I will definitely become a powerful cultivator with the same name as my grandfather and my father!
Ahem, let's talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival that day.
The grandparents did attend, as well as their friends, and that's all, after all, this was a family photo, and some people sent some letters when they couldn't show up. Everyone was crammed into one room, and one table would definitely not fit down, so we held a banquet under the auditorium of Bailing Mountain.
Grandma doesn't have any friends, and grandpa is chatting happily with a blonde man with an old-fashioned cowboy hat, so she sits there quietly, usually, grandpa will not leave her for a long time, in the eyes of our younger generations, they will get tired of being together all day long, when they talk grandpa always softly, when they don't speak, that is, when grandma talks to him, he always looks at her super seriously, no matter where it is, what kind of fairy love is this, it's so sweet!
She hugged my little sister, and I used to listen to her singing old songs that I still remember in her gentle arms.
Now, it's the little one's turn.
"Grandma~ You're back! Do you know how much I miss you? "I moved a little stool and sat next to her and put my face on her arm, and I'm cute, isn't it?
She touched my head and looked at me kindly, although her appearance was not so kind as old age, but, really, she was really a goddess in the world, like my great-grandmother.
She touched my head with her other hand while taking care of my sister, so I quickly straightened my head so that she wouldn't be affected.
"I miss you too, Tianbao~" Grandma said, and something slipped out of her cuffs, it was a small blue fish, and the small fish swam around in her hand very obediently.
"This is what your grandfather asked me to give you, his name is Little Blue ......" Grandma's voice is very gentle, I said, she is only in her early twenties, so her voice is like my sister at most. You may say that I am very arrogant and rude to say such things, but it is true.
I spread my palms out, and little by little, the fish swam from my grandmother's hand to mine.
"You have to take good care of him. Tempo. ”
"Hmm~"
The fish called Little Blue got into my sleeve, I am not qualified to wear a white plum blossom house dress on a black background, this dress is a suit change style, my aunt specially designed for me, so, the fish is very itchy when it enters the cuffs, it thinks I will have a small bag, but no, it is really a little stupid fish.
Grandma looked at my sister in her arms, then at me, and said in a very soft voice, "You are really alike."
"Really? Is it? I'll take a look~"
I really haven't looked at this little guy very closely, my sister is babbling with big eyes in grandma's arms, she must like the fragrance of grandma's body.
Really, her eyes are a lot like mine. Or rather, our ancestral eyes are all good-looking.
"Mom, the dishes are almost ready, do you have anything else you want to eat? If there is, the kitchens of Bailing Mountain will hurry up and make it. ”
It's Mom!
I won't rush to my mother and hug her all at once, because my grandmother is here, and I not only have to take into account her feelings, but also because my mother is a strict old witch.
However, for my mother, in front of my grandmother, she is obedient and harmonious, so you know how much I hope that my grandparents can come home often.
"No, thank you for your hard work, Qing'er."
"How can it be~ It's not hard at all. Then I'll go and greet everyone else~"
Look, my mother is like this in front of my grandmother, like a kitten, and I don't dare to breathe. Mom glared at me, and I stuck my tongue out at her.
"Grandma~Where have you and grandpa gone this year~"
Every time my grandparents came back, they would bring us a lot of things, all of which were unique local specialties.
The last flower cake was a long time for me.
"This time I went to Penglai Jade Island, there are a lot of beautiful things there." Grandma obviously remembered the happy things, she was the kind of elder who couldn't see the sadness, but the joy was obvious, really like a young girl. At this time, something appeared in her sleeve, and it was also the time I was most looking forward to delivering things.
A beautiful seashell was in her hand, and she smiled and told me that this seashell was given by a good friend, and it was very precious, and it could store some wonderful memories, which was equivalent to a memory display jar.
Grandma must have seen that I was a little lost, so she put her hand on my head and touched it: "Good boy~ I'll bring you something delicious next time~"
"By all means!"
"Of course." Grandma won't say anything guaranteed. There is a reassurance, of course, that gives me peace of mind.
"Grandma~ You tell me a story~ Just take it as compensation!"
My mother always told me stories when I was a child, but that old witch didn't know how to tell stories at all! A good boy like me can't accept the horror stories she tells at all!
The stories told by grandma are all fantasy stories, and her voice is beautiful and like good poetry, interesting and dreamy, just ask, which child doesn't like it.
"It's time to eat soon, do you still want to tell a story? Tempo? Before my grandmother could speak, a voice came to my ears unhurriedly before her.
It's grandpa!
Grandpa's clothes are really handsome. He seems to have finished talking over there. Now I'm here to accompany my grandmother.
Look, grandpa is always inseparable from grandma, it's so sweet that my teeth are about to fall out.
"Grandpa! You won't be ready to leave Bailing Mountain after eating~"
"Of course not, we'll stay in Bailing Mountain for a while. When the time comes, you can listen to as many stories as you want. ”
"Really?"
"Of course! When did grandpa lie to you. ”
"Huh? The story you told last time wasn't finished! ”
"Is there one? Which one? "Grandpa put his hand on Grandma's hand, and Grandma's hand was a little unnatural because she was holding her sister. He took his sister in his arms and looked at her.
"That's the story of Uncle Jack! Uncle Jack! Uncle of the Rabbit Clan! You're just talking about the end of it when he comes to you! Did you follow him to Yuzhao Mountain? ”
"......" Grandpa looked a little thoughtful, he didn't feel very good, as if he recalled something bad.
"Ziming! Are Jack and Baa Baa coming? Grandpa called to Dad.
Jack, Baa, is the protagonist of the broken story.
"Dad, I didn't come...... They sent a letter. "Dad's voice came through the side door and left, stinky Dad!
“…… I didn't come...... This boy, I saved his life. "Grandpa didn't get angry, at most a slight blame.
"Okay, let's move on. I don't know if they gave birth to a rabbit or a sheep......"
That's great! This story finally has an end.
Grandpa looked at his grandmother, his eyes were obviously much softer, and he said: "This is a story that changed my character, if it weren't for this experience, I'm afraid, it would be difficult for me to understand your grandma's heart." However, this story is really bad and not at all as interesting as it was at the beginning. ”
He continued.
"Do you remember the Seven of the King Sword? Honey~"
I watched them with affection, and they were really about to be sweet.
【Duchy February 3, 2027 Bailing Mountain】
"Hahaha, and then what?" The Grand Steward squinted at Jack. He was visibly amused.
"As I said, the guards do secretly help those inside escape, so I sneaked to the door of the altar while they were subduing Daman and Baa. Guess what I saw? Jack said with interest.
"What do you see?" Chang Yufeng looked at him suspiciously.
"One! Cat! ”
"Cats? What kind of cat? ”
"Yes, a cat! A kitten, the size of two palms, is jet-black and has a pair of very strange eyes. He slept on his stomach at the door, because I already knew that he was terrible, so I walked slowly and cautiously on the way to the door, and it was very urgent for ordinary people to escape, so I was very flustered and careful, I was different. ”
"Oh? What's the difference? ”
"I followed the wall, and when I was at the entrance of the cave, I only showed my head to see the movement of the exit, and the cat watched my every move with strange sharp eyes." Jack lowered his voice, as if he hadn't escaped the altar of despair, and he mimicked his own movements, tiptoeing.
"I'm walking slowly, I can't breathe straight, can you think of that horror? It's that you know that there will be danger here, but that danger has not yet appeared, it is a feeling that hangs on your appetite, no matter how careful you are now, that foreseeable danger has not appeared or passed, and your heart cannot let go for a moment. ”
Changyu Kaede was quite familiar with this kind of fear. In the countless falling voids, fear is like a dark phantom, coming and going without a trace, and following it like a shadow.
"I'm walking slowly...... Walk slowly...... Slowly...... Suddenly! ”
……
Changyu Kaede was almost scared?
"Something terrible happened!"
[Principality June 2026]
aaaaa!
Jack's shouts echoed throughout the altar.
"Jack!" Baa Baa was pressed by the guard's backhand, she raised her head with difficulty, the guard's big hand pressed her head, and the glass-bead-like eyes were angrily squeezed together, crystal like water lining it.
"Jack!" Daman was also pressed like this, but his strength was obviously strong enough, so he was looking in the direction of the exit.
Jack's grandmother clenched her fists, and her expression was strange, first a little sad, then a little relieved tears.
Baa Baa gritted her teeth and stopped struggling, her hair was scattered, and the guard let go of his hand when he saw this, and slowly left.
Is it a failure after all?
Didn't she already know the ending?
Why did she feel sad?
Why does the heart twitch a little.
[Ahbaa, were you really abandoned by your parents? 】
[Ahh 】
[Ah, you can't eat anything, even if you can't leave, you have to ensure your physical strength. He smiled and ate the food that was handed to him regularly.
[Don't despair, wait for me to go out!] I must bring someone from the Fa-rectification Division to save you! He smiled, so...... Amusing? He's so weak, it's a fantasy.
[Ahh Your eyes are rare and unique in this world! 】
…… Well......
【Baaba...... Do you know why my parents abandoned me? 】
[Because...... I was accidentally infected with demonic energy...... It's a scary thing indeed...... I don't blame them......]
[However, I hope I can still meet them and tell them what a wrong decision it was, and that the demon energy did not defeat their children.] 】
[Ah, you really need to understand that you can become stronger by living. 】
[I'm never afraid that the demonic energy will consume me again, because I've already defeated it once, and I'll definitely be able to defeat it again!] 】
[So, you must come on! Don't faint! Ahh Come on, please! Hold on! 】
His voice echoed in her head, the burning pain coming from her eyes, all over her body, scars, like boundless flames.
"Ahh Waiting for me to come back! Get you out! Don't give up! ”
He looked straight into his eyes, so determined.
Baa Ba Ba ...... Ahh
In the passage of the exit, Jack lay on the ground in pain, and the black cat silently jumped in front of him, red blood flowing on its paws. Along with the fluff, red and black are mixed together, and there is no difference.
"Do you want to go out~" asked the black cat.
"Kekekuo......" Blood coughed out of Jack's mouth, he didn't have the strength to answer, the voice appeared directly in his head.
"I ...... I want to get out. ”
"You're different from everyone else ~ Did you know ~"
"No...... Know...... kekekuo……”
"You've been infected with demonic energy~" The black cat opened its mouth, and the exposed cat's tongue licked the corners of its mouth.
“kekekuo……”
"I'll let you go~ but~you'd better ~ don't be afraid~" The black cat licked its little paws, harmless to humans and animals.
“kekekuo……”
The eyes of this black cat are becoming more and more terrifying~ staring directly at himself, he has no way to leave his eyes.
The black demonic qi crawled into his hand, and soon, Jack's whole body was surrounded by demonic energy, as if he had magical power, and those demonic qi surrounded Jack, and suddenly flew to the black cat's body like a wave, and the black qi swept Jack's rabbit ears and rushed into his seven orifices.
Baa Ba Ba ...... I'm sorry, but I can't help it...... Got you out......
【Duchy 2027 February 3 Bailing Mountain】
The black cat's mouth was wide open, like the mouth of a shark, the size of a whole door, and countless tentacles whizzed out of his body. It's too late, it's too late, I pick up the guard's sword and slash at him a black cat, I fight and retreat, did I say? When I lived with my grandmother, I studied swordsmanship, and of course, I was no match for the black cat, and just at the last moment, a girl in red rushed in to deal with the black cat with me, and I was so badly injured that I was pierced through my entire arm. ”
Jack showed his hand, where there was a huge wound.
"We were forced to run away by the black cat, but luckily we managed to escape."
"The girl in red?"
"Yes, she also has a very weird scar on her head, which is covered by her hair, which is usually invisible, but only seen in a fight."
"Lin'er?"
"Is that her?" Chang Yu Feng asked, a little surprised: "What about Dada?"
"I thanked the girl, she wanted to go to the altar to find something, but when I came out, I was in a hurry to find the people of the Dharma Division, so I didn't go with her. I was chased and killed by inexplicable people, so I couldn't drag her down...... Later, at the foot of the mountain, I was hunted down, and Dada's predecessors appeared. ”
"What do you want to find in Lin'er?" Long Feather Kaede looked at Jack. Jack looked dazed.
The Grand Steward frowned.
"I went to the Dharma Division with Dada-senpai, but Dada-senpai was locked up by an even more powerful enemy because he saved me. He reminded me to come to Bailing Mountain to find help. I'll come here. ”
"......" The chief manager touched his beard, not very happy, obviously he was still very happy just now: "Okay, you go back to rest first, tomorrow at dawn, the young master will follow you to Yuzhao Mountain."
"I have one more request that I don't know if to say."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Baa's eye disease......"
"Don't worry, Bai Lingshan will do his best."
"Thank you."
Chang Yu Feng actually had a lot to ask, and the chief manager seemed to have suddenly stopped talking and had already made a decision.
For example, why did Dada go to Yuzhao Mountain? Why don't you go back to Bailing Mountain? Where has he been in the past ten years?
And Lin'er, why did Lin'er also go to Yuzhao Mountain?
Of course, he knew that a little rabbit man should only be able to give a rough idea.
But......
Long Feather Kaede had no choice but to watch Jack leave the house. Silent.
