"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 teacup 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, but 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 likely it was a strange thing that he could only see. But how could he 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, let alone how can they lie to others? She said it in such detail 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 dead people at that time, the atmosphere was messy, and I didn't pay attention to feel it..."
While they were talking, a woman appeared from the stairs. It was the girl holding the piano just now. They were all ready to let her go, but they didn't expect that she actually went to the appointment. There were only seats on the second floor. They were at the same table, so she quickly noticed this side and came over. The woman sat at the far corner of the table, holding Qin in her arms. She seemed not to put it aside to drink tea. As expected, Xie Zhe She saw the cat. The cat followed her and jumped 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 was not on her clothes. Leaving traces, the cat stretched out its paws to hook up the sachet at her waist and nibbled it. Xue Miyin raised his hand and gently hit its head. It immediately became more honest.
At this moment, Han Zhang kept staring at her shamisen. It seemed that 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 sharp. It's true, the two knives can stab each other at any time.
"I took a detour and came late. You guys have been waiting for a long time."
"No need to be polite. Just tell me, how do you control those living corpses?"
Although Han Shang's eyes were still on her instrument, he still asked with interest. He was really interested in the principle of affecting the dead. After all, not everyone can command hundreds of corpses like the Master of Hundreds of Skeletons. Presumably this woman must have her own methods. As for her motives, whether they are good or evil, they don't expect to be able to tell them 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 that there was a plague in the town. We don’t know much about the spread of the disease. We only know that people who get the disease will definitely die, and they will bite people before and after death. Once bitten by them, the disease is destined to be transmitted to the injured person, and death will be inevitable. Those corpses She had noticed her since last night. They came from different places in the town, and they all followed her in the end. She should be able to get away by running away, but she didn't know where to go, so she sat on the wall and waited for a while. It had been a long time since she had seen the night watchman and she came 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 on the wall. She jumped down, as if listening to the music carefully. So she bravely jumped down and found that they no longer attacked her, but always followed them, making it difficult to get rid of them.
After listening to Xue Miyin's explanation, none of them felt like she 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 looked a little cold. , but it seems that the person is pretty good at the moment. Shen Wenzheng knew that he was a little excited before, so he also apologized to her. From the beginning to the end, Xue Miyin gave people a strange feeling. In this 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, Liang The attack on Quan indeed had nothing to do with her.
Now that the matter has been made clear, Miss Xue is about to turn around and leave. The bells on her feet make a crisp sound, and the calico cat jumps off 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 thought you might be looking at it. Its name is A Miao and he is a boy. If I hadn't thought that you were special from the beginning when you saw it. 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, with its two ears spread flat, leaving a gap for letting go. But in the eyes of others, Xue Miyin just scratched the air twice weirdly.
"I don't want to go into too many details. 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, but 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. And 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 it looked like a very scary smile. They all knew that Han Chang was the one who had the most reason to carry out more excessive verbal attacks.
"The way you look makes me think you have had a similar experience."
"You are very perceptive."
"I don't know why, but I don't hate you."
Miyin's words are very strange, as strange as her attitude. She seems to be really curious about it, but the words are expressed in words, as if she hates other people present... But she doesn't
Really shown, it just gives people a feeling. And feelings are sometimes the most honest and reliable things. After all, everyone at the moment has this "feeling".
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. This is the mildest expression.
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 is 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 her mouth, she 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 with it.
After much thought, 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. We met a few days ago.
Yes, she gave me this dagger as a token. She
She invited me to leave our temporary residence with her, as long as I took care of my own affairs. But after all my affairs were done, she was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't find her at the agreed place, even after waiting a day and a night. I was there again
I asked around and no one has seen her."
Everyone showed worried looks. Shen Wenzheng asked carefully: "Are you worried that something bad will happen 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 he 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.
Where I am now, and the people around me... who deceived me. I made up my mind to go with her, and
We are not afraid of those dangers. We have been separated for many years, and it would be too unfair for her to bear all this alone. I guessed that something must have happened that day that prevented her from coming forward. Until now, I have just wandered around there, looking for her.
Whereabouts. This town is already quite far away."
The grievances and hatreds in the world are like thousands of threads, intertwining the fate of everyone. Ling Huan thought for a while, then turned his eyes to Xie Che and Han Zhang. The eyes of the three people briefly collided, and they were very
He almost understood what Ling Huan meant. The two looked hesitant and looked at each other for a while. It wasn't until Han Yang shrugged and nodded slightly that Xie Zhe also nodded.
Ling Huan said to Xue Miyin happily: "Then do you want to come with us?"
"With you?" She frowned, "Where are you going? But if I go too far..."
