This is the darkest moment before dawn. A figure is walking hurriedly on the road, carrying another person on his back.
Passing through several deserted streets at a very fast speed, he stopped in front of a building, opened the door with the key, and quietly climbed to the second floor without alerting the landlady.
Mr. Cat walked out of the room in his nightgown, with the same half-dream expression on his face as during the day... But when he pushed open the bathroom door, his whole face froze for two seconds, and then... he actually opened the door again.
It's closed.
"Are you sleepwalking... It seems that I have been under too much pressure recently..."
"Hey! What are you doing!" Wang Xu chased him out of the bathroom: "What was your reaction?"
"Tch...you are just an illusion, why are you yelling..."
"You are hallucinating! Face reality!"
Mr. Cat sighed deeply and looked into the bathroom again: "What is that... Where have you been in the past few hours... In fact, I have been sleeping for a whole year... Okay
If so, let me continue to sleep..."
…………
An hour later, Wang Xu walked out of the bathroom: "I gave her something to eat, and she fell asleep in the bathtub. Oh my god... I washed three tanks of water black, and after washing them, she looked like that
Even more shocking.”
Mr. Cat was lying on the armchair and said calmly: "She must be suffering from some kind of curse. If it is not lifted, this illness will continue until she dies."
Wang Xu said: "Then how to remove the curse?"
"I've released it."
"What? When?"
"Before you wash the first tank of water."
"You can come in and walk around for a while and you'll be done?"
Mr. Mao explained: "Actually, it is not difficult to undo the curses of foreigners. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of sustainable spell that is activated through a certain object or a certain ritual. Its operation always depends on something.
Energy, such as spiritual power, mental power, witchcraft power, whatever...
For example, just like the curse in Sleeping Beauty, the initiating ritual is that the princess is pricked by the needle on the sewing machine, and the lifting ritual set by the caster is the prince's kiss. Ordinary people naturally have to follow the curse.
This program makes this type of wizard appear mysterious and unpredictable, with boundless power.
But for us psychics, there is no difficulty. We only need to use spiritual power to get rid of the energy that is acting. I just noticed her abnormality and easily lifted the curse."
Wang Xu nodded and said: "Oh...that's it. I didn't expect that you would also enjoy helping others."
Mr. Cat sneered: "Ha! You have rescued her, what else can I do? Wait for her to die in the bathroom? The body will not be easy to dispose of, right..."
Wang Xu was too lazy to complain to him. He then asked: "I still don't understand one thing. Even if it is a curse that makes her look like this, can a mermaid eat people when she is very hungry?"
Mr. Cat replied: "I don't know what a mermaid will do when she is very hungry. I only know that she is not a mermaid at all."
"Ah? No?"
"Hey...it seems that I have to teach you a lesson, where to start...Oh, yes, by the way, in ancient Greece..."
Wang Xu interrupted rudely: "Let's get to the point!"
Master Cat shook his head and sighed: "Young people today are really impatient... Well, to put it simply, she is a sea monster, and the Siren in Greek mythology refers to her.
According to legend, the Siren is the daughter of the river god Ecroeus and a beautiful fairy born from his blood. Years ago, she had the head of a human and the body of a bird. She lost her head in a music competition with the Muses and was plucked out.
Their wings prevented them from flying, so they swam on the sea and turned into mermaids, attracting sailors with their singing and beauty, and causing them to suffer disaster.
You may have heard such stories, such as sailors who were attracted by the singing and eventually caused the ship to hit the rocks, or someone on the ship saw a beautiful woman sitting on the rocks, jumped into the sea to look for her, but never came back.
.Anyway, the ending of these stories is undoubtedly that the sea monsters have a feast and no human bones are left.”
Wang Xu swallowed his saliva and looked back at the door of his room: "So... I should actually kill her?"
Mr. Cat said: "You can't say that. In fact, there are some legends. The sirens may have been sea gods or sea elves at first. Well...according to us Chinese, they were fairies. Wasn't Andersen writing "The Daughter of the Sea" based on them?
It’s the prototype. If you haven’t read that book, you must have read Disney’s The Little Mermaid.”
The corner of Wang Xu's mouth twitched twice: "Forget it... I've saved everyone, help them to the end, and send Buddha to the West."
Mr. Cat took a sip of coffee and said: "You rescued it, and you are responsible for it. I am very busy today and have to go out soon."
"At dawn, are you going to go out to pick up girls?"
Mr. Cat replied in English: "No, no, no... I have already said that my relationship with that lady is very pure, and I purely admire her."
"Master, please speak English to me. What bothers me the most is your British English. You can only say a few nonsense words and still be polite."
Mr. Mao shrugged and returned to the topic: "My schedule is very planned. I have a lot of things to do today. Don't forget, today is September 8th. It will take about forty minutes."
In the future, the body of Anne Chapman will be found. She is the second 'confirmed' victim of the Ripper. I want to take a short time between the Ripper's escape and the discovery of the body.
Go and survey the scene before the idiots at Scotland Yard destroy all the useful evidence."
Wang Xuxu said with eyes: "Oh... Then you should do your business first, and then pick up girls..."
Mr. Cat got up and went back to his room. Before closing the door, he said: "Take care of yourself, or be careful not to be eaten by the fairy daughter you rescued."
