"I heard that the two gods of music from thousands of years ago also relied on music to confuse people's hearts. I'm not sure there is any connection." Xie Zhe picked up the tea cup and continued, "I am indeed curious about the origin of that woman. The cat next to her looks like It's very spiritual up there, I don't know where it comes from."
"cat?"
Several people suddenly stared at him, seemingly not understanding what he was talking about.
"A tricolor cat, haven't you seen it?" Xie Zhe put down his cup, "It looks very clean. It should be the cat following that woman."
"...Are you possessed?"
Even Han Chang looked at him suspiciously, with a hint of worry in his brows. Xie Zhe realized that most of them were strange things that only he could see. But how can you not even see the monster?
"There is a cat," Shen Yiran, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said, "There are more black spots and yellow spots on the back, and it is mostly white. It has always been near the sister."
People often say that children can see things that adults cannot see, not to mention how can they lie to others? What she said was so detailed that even Xie Zhe nodded in agreement. Shen Wenzheng hugged the child tightly and murmured in his heart.
"Didn't you think there was anything wrong at that time?" Xie Zhe asked Han Chang.
"Maybe there were a lot of people dead at the time, the atmosphere was messy, and I didn't concentrate on sensing..."
As he was talking, a woman appeared from the stairs. It was the girl holding the piano just now. They were all prepared for her to let go, but they didn't expect that she actually kept the appointment. There was only one table occupied by them on the second floor, so she quickly noticed it and walked over. The woman was sitting at the far corner of the table, still holding Qin in her arms, and seemed to have no intention of putting it aside to drink tea. Xie Zhe really saw the cat again. The cat followed her, jumping into her lap when she sat down. It stands to reason that the cat's feet must be dirty, but she did not push the cat away, and the cat did not leave marks on her clothes. The cat stretched out its paws to hook up the sachet on her waist and nibbled on it. Xue Miyin raised his hand and gently hit it on the head. It immediately became more honest.
At this moment, Han Chang kept staring at her shamisen. It seemed that it was true as Xie Zhe said, even if he didn't see the cat, he could still feel something strange. When Shen Wenzheng saw her, his eyes were still very sharp, as if he was about to stab her with two knives at any time.
"I took a detour and came late. Some of you have been waiting for a long time."
"No need to be polite. Just tell me, how do you control those living corpses?"
Although Han Chang's eyes were still on her instrument, he still asked with interest. He was really interested in the principles that affected the dead. After all, not everyone can command hundreds of corpses like the Hundred Skeleton Master, so this woman must have her own method. As for her motives, good or evil, they didn't expect to be able to tell from her few words.
The woman's name is Xue Miyin, and she came to this town for the first time last night. Xie Zhe suddenly thought that the figure he saw outside a certain courtyard wall last night could be her? Xue Miyin said that he had indeed heard about the spread of the plague in the town. He did not know more about the situation. He only knew that those who got the disease would definitely die and would bite people before and after death. Once bitten by them, the disease is destined to be transmitted to the injured person, and death is inevitable. The corpses had noticed her since last night. They came from different parts of the town and eventually followed her. She should be able to get away by running away, but she didn't know where to go, so she sat on the wall for a while. After waiting for a long time, she didn't see the night watchman coming to this corner. She felt sleepy and didn't dare to sleep, so she played the piano for a while to refresh herself. Unexpectedly, the group of living corpses stopped scratching the wall and stood blankly under the wall, as if they were listening to music seriously. So she bravely jumped down and found that they no longer attacked her, but always followed her, making it difficult to get rid of them.
After listening to Xue Miyin's explanation, no one felt like he was lying. Besides, even if she wanted to lie, there was no need to use such a lame excuse, let alone explain it to them. Although she looks a little cold, she seems to be a pretty good person so far. Shen Wenzheng knew that he was a little excited before, so he also apologized to her. From beginning to end, Xue Miyin gives people a slightly strange feeling. When encountering this kind of situation, most people would be anxious and want to clarify the matter, or at least show basic humanistic care to the victim... But she didn't. It was as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her from beginning to end - but strictly speaking, the attack on Ling Huan had nothing to do with her.
Now that the matter has been made clear, Miss Xue is ready to turn around and leave. The bells on her feet made a crisp sound, and the calico cat jumped down from her body. At this moment, Xie Zhe said:
"Miss Xue, please stay."
"Is there anything else? Since I don't owe you anything, I don't need to say anything more. Technically speaking, I even saved that girl's life."
"Yes, we know, and we have thanked you for this. There is just something that worries me..." After saying that, Xie Zhe pointed to her feet and asked, "I guess it's not a real animal." Cat."
"You can really see it. I noticed your gaze, and I thought you might be looking at it. Its name is A Miao, and he is a boy. If I hadn't thought that you saw it from the beginning, I thought you were special than ordinary people. Some, I’m really too lazy to come here to explain.”
This guy really wanted to run away. Shen Wenzheng and Ye Lingquan looked at each other helplessly. But Sanhuaer? Amiao? Is it a boy?
"It's strange. I have only seen my mother's raccoon slave in so many years. Maybe it's because I have been practicing in the master's school all year round and have little experience." Han Sheng said this, but his eyes were fixed on her piano, "What if I You guessed it right, this raccoon slave is related to your musical instrument."
"……yes."
Xue Miyin didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, and he probably didn't have anything important to do. She sat down again, and Xie Zhe saw the cat jumping on the stool again and lying there next to her. Xue Miyin reached out and touched its head. It seemed as if it could really be touched. Its ears were flattened, leaving room for him to let go. But in the eyes of others, Xue Miyin just scratched the air twice strangely.
"There are too many, and I don't want to go into detail. It's not something worth remembering. Amiao was originally a wild cat. She saved my life when I was very young and has been with me ever since. Later, there was a man The crazy piano maker wanted to buy it for a high price to make the piano skin, and I would never agree. But the cunning old man actually stuffed rat poison into the fish and let Amiao eat it. I buried it... I originally let it go. The old guy died. Moreover, I have no evidence to prove that he did it. But he dug up Amiao’s grave——"
Ling Huan showed an expression of disgust: "What on earth...is wrong with him? How could there be such a strange person?"
"It's purely sick. Humanity's pursuit of fur products has always exceeded my expectations. It's disgusting."
Han Chang was emotional, but suppressed it. He even laughed angrily, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked like a terrible smile. They all know that Han Shang is the one who has the most reason to carry out more excessive verbal attacks.
"The way you look makes me think you have had a similar experience."
"You're very perceptive."
"I don't know why, but I don't hate you."
Miyin's words were strange, as strange as her attitude. She seemed to be really curious about this, but the words were expressed in words, as if she hated the other people present... But she didn't really show it, it just gave people a feeling. And feeling is sometimes the most honest and reliable thing. After all, everyone “feels” like this right now.
Even herself. But Xue Miyin never seems to care about the consequences of her words. She has been like this all the way. She is obviously an independent person. That's the mildest possible way of putting it.
Xie Zhe nodded, probably understanding something, and said: "So this cat is a monster similar to Fu Sangshen. It misses you, so it doesn't leave. But because it's not Fu Sangshen, ordinary people can't see it. .is that so?"
Speaking of Fu Sangshen, Ling Huan looked at Han Shang. They all thought of Miss Ruan Xiang from before and wondered how she was doing now.
"I actually don't know. Since you can explain it clearly, it should be what you said."
"Oh..." Ling Huan looked at her, "Apart from Amiao, are you going to travel alone in the world? Isn't this very dangerous?"
Although Xue Miyin opened his mouth, he didn't think about what to say. She froze for a while, weighing whether she should explain the matter more clearly. On the one hand, she felt that it was unnecessary and troublesome, but on the other hand, she actually had nothing to do. After thinking again and again, she finally told her current situation.
"I have a knife for self-defense." Miyin took out a dagger from his sleeve. The casing was crudely made, and the blade was probably not very good. "This was given to me by a friend of mine. She and I have been separated for many years, and we met a few days ago. Yes, she gave me this dagger as a token. She invited me to leave the place where I was temporarily staying with her, as long as I took care of my own affairs. But after all my affairs were finished, she was nowhere to be seen. I failed to show up at the agreed place. It took me a day and a night to find her. I asked around, but no one had seen her."
Everyone looked worried. Shen Wenzheng asked carefully: "Are you worried about something bad happening to her?"
"Yes, but she is very powerful... and can use very powerful spells. If something happens to her, at least she can get some information. I think she didn't break the contract, but encountered some trouble, because she told me , someone is chasing her..."
"What kind of person is he?" Xiao Yiran, who had been listening, asked.
"She didn't go into details, she just said that she was a very dangerous person. She wanted me to go with her, but she was afraid of injuring me. I said I was really happy, and she readily agreed. After all, she had been persuading me for a long time to let me leave. The place I am now, and the people around me who deceived me. I made up my mind to go with her, and I was not afraid of the dangers. We had been separated for many years, and it would be too unfair for her to bear all this alone. I guessed that that day must have happened. Something happened that prevented her from coming forward. Until now, I am just wandering around there, looking for her whereabouts. This town is already quite far away. "
The grievances and hatreds in the world are like inextricably linked threads, intertwining the fate of everyone. Ling Huan thought for a while and then turned his attention to Xie Zhe and Han Shang. The eyes of the three people collided briefly, and they quickly understood what Ling Huan meant. The two looked hesitant and looked at each other for a while, until Han Chang shrugged and nodded slightly, and Xie Zhe also nodded.
Ling Huan said to Xue Miyin happily: "Then do you want to go with us?"
"With you?" She frowned, "Where are you going? But if I go too far..."
