Luo Binhan kept screaming. He felt the nerves in his head melt. In order to stop the terrible burning sensation, he even tried to stick his fingers into his eye sockets, until the black cat on the table jumped up, kicked him hard in the face with its hind legs, and then fell back deftly. on the desktop.
"Calm down." Black Cat said.
Its heavy blow far beyond his body size made Luo Binhan dizzy. He bent over in pain and pressed his face against the cold, damp table. For a while he saw nothing but felt the wet liquid on the table. At first he thought it was sea water, then he thought it was wine, but when he finally opened his eyes he found that he had guessed both wrong, it was blood.
There was a large pool of blood on the table. It was bright red in color, warm and fresh, and looked similar to his own. He touched his moist mouth and nose and found that it might indeed be his blood.
"How could this be?" he asked weakly.
"You'd better not keep talking like this." Black Cat said, "You stayed in Will's dream for so long that his memories of death began to appear in you. I had to wake you up first to prevent you from It’s a mess in someone else’s shop.”
Small shop. Luo Binhan first captured this word. He sat in a daze for a while, his head filled with the sound of tides, snow forests, monkeys, wilderness, and black cats. He could hardly remember who he was.
"Black Cat," he purred, "it's you."
The black cat raised his head, arrogance flashing in his emerald eyes.
"Actually, I don't know how much you saw." It said, "Will added many little secrets to this dream and only showed it to people who met his requirements. But if you are talking about the country of Tonghui, yes, I Was there. When the kid's father was running around in the mountains all day, I kept an eye on his movements until Will asked me to leave as soon as possible, right after the man he had done business with was killed. "
Luo Binhan rubbed his ears blankly. He felt like the tide was still rumbling in his head, and the black cat's voice seemed to come from a thousand meters away. Silence. Jing Huang. Yaleriga. Momolo. Sugar Land. Yes, he's in Sugar Land. But he no longer had any real feeling about this matter. The world around him had nothing to do with him, as if he was just jumping from one dream to another.
Black Cat stared at him sternly. It didn't have any mottled hair, and even its beard was shiny black, but somehow Luo Binhan could see that it was frowning.
"I have a little overestimation of the abilities of mortals." it said lowly, "Will has been watching dreams since he was born. For him, that is the true nature of the world. But for others, they are either dead or crazy, I Never seen a second man come to his senses like he did, and it doesn't matter until he finds a new one. You'd better always remember who you are."
"Who am I?" Luo Binhan asked stupidly.
"Luo Binhan. A mortal."
"Why are you a mortal again?"
"Don't talk like that. It makes you look stupid."
Luo Binhan started to laugh silly at it. He felt that this cat was as serious as his middle-aged class teacher in high school, and at the same time, he had the air of an aristocratic gentleman. That's certainly not a flattering look, but being a cat makes a huge difference.
The black cat stepped on his face: "You have a friend named Zhou Yu, remember?"
"Yeah" Luo Binhan raised his head reflexively.
He sat upright suddenly, reached into his pocket, and touched a cold, hard metal cube. lighter. birthday present. Zhou Yu. Lihai City. But he is not in Lihai City at the moment. He is outside the sky, beyond the stars, in a small shop on the commercial street of the Durand people. There are no ocean monkeys and flying fairies here, nor are there Zhou Yu and his parrots. The Kingdom of Zuohui and Lihai City are equally out of reach, and that's because he was damned kidnapped by interstellar pirates.
"Jing Huang, you idiot!" Luo Binhan shouted angrily.
He heard a crisp breaking sound next to him. When he turned his head, he saw a huge orange cat as tall as a man staring at him, and the crystal candy bottle in his hand fell to the ground. He immediately remembered that this orange cat man was probably the bartender of this store. The memory of him coming here for several days had faded to the point where it was almost impossible to recall.
He quickly smiled at the orange cat to apologize, saying that he just drank too much and was willing to compensate for the damage caused. It wasn't until the other person slowly lowered his tail and swept the floor in frustration that he sneakily sat back down and continued to glare at the black cat on the table.
"Okay." He whispered, "I remembered it. Anyway, I mean, this happened just now."
He felt his tongue tangle awkwardly in his mouth, like a babbling baby. Confusing words and pronunciations rolled around in his throat, and he was a little horrified to find that he couldn't even tell which one was his native language. He forced himself not to think about it, and it took him a long time to calm down a little.
"I had a dream." He said to the black cat with difficulty and solemnity.
"What a big news." Black Cat replied coldly.
"Those are true"
"You have to tell me which ones first."
"you do not know"
"I can't see the dream you had." The black cat said, "Everything you saw was what Will hid in his dream. When he decided to accept long sleep, he gave this dream to me, but it was just Let me use it as a shortcut. He never wanted me to see what was inside."
"So, you really didn't watch"
"I respect his wishes." Black Cat announced majestically, "Will you peek into your friend's diary?"
"Uh." Luo Binhan said.
Black Cat's eyes became sharp, and Luo Binhan decided to skip this question. He stumbled and talked confusedly about his long dream. As he described those hazy hallucinations in words, his mind finally seemed to start working.
"Then his father's heart was ripped out." He said to the black cat.
The black cat looked at him calmly. Luo Binhan nodded and repeated: "His father's heart was ripped out."
He stood up suddenly and jumped on the table with a mad look.
"His father's heart was ripped out," he roared, "What the hell is going on?"
The orange cat bartender once again broke the container in his hand. But this time Luo Binhan no longer cared about comforting the frustrated and nervous clerk. He was as nervous and delirious as someone who had stayed up all night reading mysteries, waving his hands and feet like an octopus on the edge of a hot pot.
"Don't make such a fuss." Black Cat said disapprovingly, "You have never encountered murder."
It kicked Luo Binhan in the face again, then rolled down next to the bartender and tapped the debris on the ground with its tail.
"Clean it up," it said, "and put the account on that person. Please."
When it came back with a flower candy in its mouth, Luo Binhan finally became quieter. He silently jumped off the table and sat down weakly.
"Holy shit," he murmured, "right after his father had his heart ripped out."
The black cat put the flower candy into his hand and watched him suck the candy juice with blank eyes. After Luo Binhan felt better, he said, "You saw that man activate the micrometer."
"What"
"This is how Will, the tool of the Wuyuan Man, explained it. When Will found out that his contractor in the Zhoguo Kingdom had died abnormally, he immediately asked Ender to rush there. But it was obviously too late, so he chose Another way was that he pulled the young man into the moon realm and activated some switch in his body, or something. After that, his power was eliminated."
Luo Binhan couldn't fully understand its explanation, but he wasn't so eager to understand it for the time being. The problems in his mind can simply pile up a mountain of jade.
"What happened next?" he asked eagerly, "how did his father fix it?"
"I don't know. But Ender claims something terrible happened on that island."
Its wording made Luo Binhan feel nervous. He swallowed the last mouthful dryly and asked: "How terrible is it?"
"You have to ask Will." Black Cat said, "Only he and Ender know what happened at that time. When the storm ended, his mother lost all her power and was alone in a cave in Qingshan City. There. For a long time everyone believed she was dead. And his father stayed for a while. A year, maybe two or three years later, as he learned to use his gadget, Will kept an eye on him. It's not that easy anymore. No one knew exactly what he was doing, but when Will discovered him again, he was serving as a kingdom adviser to the queen in the south, with nearly a hundred people following him to act as his bodyguards. team and vanguard officer.”
"Wait a minute, what did he do?"
"Chixian's official title is Lulan Kingdom's National Master." Black Cat added, "Or you can call him Mr. Zangyu, but don't call him that in front of Will. He hates this word."
Luo Binhan's eyes were blank for a few seconds. He had a vague impression of the word "Lulan Kingdom", but he had a very Jinghuang impression of the word "Zangyu".
"Okay, okay." He agreed casually.
After a while he couldn't help but ask: "But why is there something wrong with this word?"
"This word made Will spend a long time dealing with the trouble he created. Just after Mr. Zangyu appeared, the two of them spent twenty years attacking each other with the mortal kingdom they controlled without openly declaring war and without land. Occupation and massacre, just because the monks did not allow this to happen. But Will used his body to walk in every country around Lulan, trying to use other means to deal with his original impulse. Obviously it did not go well, because he An old friend from the mountains was always holding us back. They were in a stalemate like this for twenty years, until the kid's father surrounded Yuji Mountain with a fleet of floating mobile artillery."
Luo Binhan stared at it dumbfounded.
"He surrounded Yuji Mountain." Black Cat said with certainty, "demanding that the emperor recognize the independent political system of Lulan Kingdom, as well as a long list of demands regarding land and personal relationships. If Qingshan refused to recognize it, he claimed that he would cover it with artillery fire This is what made Will so angry in the entire extraordinary area of Qingshan City.”
