C49 (1/2)

”It's not a human standing outside the door. It's a cat.”

Xiao Wen's words floated into my ears, shocking me instantly.

”What?” At first, I suspected that I had heard wrongly, ”Xiao Wen, are you sure you haven't seen wrongly? ”Are you sure it's a cat?”

Xiao Wen also revealed an expression of disbelief, ”Yes, it was indeed a cat, I was extremely shocked at the time, how could a cat open the door for me?”

”Right, isn't this simply too unbelievable? I don't quite dare to believe it. ”

”Not just you. Even someone like me, who's experienced enough, doesn't believe you.”

”And then?”

I was anxious to know what happened next.

Xiao Wen was startled for a moment before continuing, ”Later on, after I recovered from my panic, I gathered my strength to ask it, did you open the door? Then, the cat actually laughed. That sound was so scary that I was scared out of my mind. ”

”Where is the sky? ”Cat can laugh?”

But I was relieved at once, for I had experienced it myself.

Previously, when I was bitten by a cat, I seem to have heard that cat laugh. Could it be that the cat that bit me is the same one as Xiao Wen?

He said that he saved me because he wanted me to help him. He said that he was controlled by Tathagata, meaning that he was a human, but Tathagata had placed his soul onto a cat's body. He wanted me to help him find his own soul.

I was a little taken aback. Aren't these words a little too inconceivable? Can a human's soul still be placed on a cat's body?

”And did you promise it?”

”At that time, I felt extremely scared. I have never experienced anything like this since I was young, but I felt that it was very pitiful, so I agreed to it. After that, I didn't know what to do, so I came here to discuss some countermeasures.”

I nodded to show that I understood the whole story.

However, I am already in a dire situation, how can I help Xiao Wen meddle with this cat's business? Besides, the cat had bitten me.

I wasn't a vengeful person, but the problem was that the cat had bitten me, which proved that it probably didn't like me, or disliked me, so it probably didn't like me interfering in its business.

”Xiao Wen, I think I'm powerless.”

Xiao Wen was startled for a moment, then said: ”Ruxue, if you don't help me, then no one will be able to help me.”

Xiao Wen's words also made me a little dazed. ”Didn't you say you were going to help the cat? How did it become helping you? ”

Xiao Wen's words were a little strange, I kept feeling that she seemed to be having a strange feeling right now.

Her eyes seemed to be avoiding his gaze. It was an unnatural look.

”Ruxue, I-I was a little too nervous, so I spoke incoherently.”

I looked at her pitifully, trying to see how much she had been tortured. I really hated what Tathagata had done.

Did he really have to make things so difficult for a girl?

”I feel like something isn't right. Think about it, we are all ordinary people, how can we have a way to deal with Tathagata?”

”I thought so too, but the cat said we could save it if we had to hit something.”

Curious for a moment, I asked, ”What is it?”

”It didn't say what it was. It only said that it was in one of the rooms in the mansion. It was extremely cold in there, like the temperature in the Antarctic. Only by going in would you feel that bone-piercing coldness.”

I suddenly remembered what Qihai had told me back then.

That's what he said to me in exchange, too, that he would save me if I found the mystery.

Hearing Xiao Wen's words were pretty much the same as what she said, then it seemed like they were all talking about the same thing.

”But I guess it's not that easy.”

”Ruxue, I really have no other choice, I feel that it is really pitiful. I heard that it has been controlled by Tathagata for many years, and it has always been stuck inside this villa, unable to leave.”

I feel that something is still not right about Xiao Wen's words. She said that she has been trapped here for many years? But this villa had never existed before.

How could this be explained?

But before I could ask these questions, Xiao Wen suddenly became anxious, ”Ruxue, I have to hurry back. If Tathagata discovers me, then I'm done for.”

Xiao Wen rushed out anxiously, as if her butt was on fire.

I could only silently ponder over these questions in my heart.

Could it be that there was something else that no one knew about?

The strangeness of the villa was not the slightest bit. Not only were humans being persecuted by Tathagata, even the animals were the same. Tathagata, what should I say about you?

Thinking that I was about to be married to such a despicable man, even though it wasn't a proper marriage, I still felt embarrassed.

Marrying such a person was simply a form of cruelty.

Everything calmed down. After everything quieted down, I felt that what happened just now was just a dream. It was as though it had never happened.

I tried so hard not to think about it, but I couldn't help it.
