C6 (2/2)

However, at this moment, ”Meow meow”, a shrill cat cry resounded through the night sky. My body jolted and I immediately turned to look, only to see that two green, ghost-like eyes had appeared at the entrance of my father's mourning hall. I rubbed my numb legs to get up and take a look.

When I looked into its eyes, I was startled. Why did it feel like this cat was looking at my father's remains?

I was terrified and tried to chase the black cat away, but the black cat was very agile and it took me a while to chase it away.

When I returned to my father's Spiritual Hall to take a look, my heart immediately sunk to the bottom. I saw that my father's Spirit Sink was empty, and what replaced it was the kerosene lamp that was previously placed in front of my father's spirit tablet. As for the black cat, it was unknown when it squatted on top of my father's Spirit Sink and its two eyes were like will-o '-wisps as it stared straight at me.

Shocked, I tried to suppress my flustered thoughts as I tiptoed to the side of the collapsed spirit but just as I took a step forward, the black cat suddenly let out a mournful howl, shocking me to the point that my hair stood on end. At the same time, the kerosene lamp simultaneously flickered, weakening at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, and was replaced by a ball of green flame the size of a fingertip and the size of the black cat's eyes.

Ah!” At the same time, the lights in the mourning hall were extinguished with a ”Zi” sound. Only the green oil and flames emitted a faint green light, and under the shine of the light, the black cat appeared on the wall beside where my father's spirit had collapsed. Sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes tall, and sometimes constantly changing.

At this moment, my back was already wet. I didn't know if it was the sweat or the rain.

At this moment, my phone beeped. Trembling, I took out my phone to take a look. A string of numbers appeared on the screen. There was nothing else.

At the same time, I mustered up my courage and clenched my teeth. I rushed into the mourning hall and shouted at the black cat, ”Get lost!”

Following my furious roar, the light inside the mourning hall immediately turned bright, while the black cat also fled with its tail between its legs. After the black cat left, the kerosene lamp returned to its normal state as if it was a person who had just awoken. Everything in the mourning hall returned to normal.

Only my father's body was missing.

Looking at the empty and wild Spirit Collapse, I was completely flustered for a moment. I hurriedly searched everywhere.

However, there was still no trace of them even after this round.

I burst into tears. I stood helplessly in the doorway and shouted, but there was no response other than an empty echo.

The pitter-patter of the rain continued to pour down, dyeing the surroundings misty and blurry.

I wiped off the water on my face and my eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing a figure leaning on a tree not too far away, I gritted my teeth and picked up my father's hoe before walking over.

That person was dressed in black and was leaning against a tree as if he was tired. His body was covered in sweat.

I took a deep breath, thinking that this man had been here most of the night. I had no idea what his purpose was, or whether he had been involved in the disappearance of my father's body, but it was certainly not normal for him to be here in the middle of the night.

”Boom!” A loud sound rang out and lightning struck the surroundings. Caught me off guard, I almost fell to the ground. However, with the help of the light, I was able to see the man's face clearly.

His face was pale and he had a faint smile on it. Who else could it be other than my father?

”Dad!” I burst into tears and fell to my knees.

A few more peals of thunder rang out. His father's smiling face was flickering under the illumination of the thunder and lightning, like a loving father looking at his son.

I wiped my face and got up to carry my father again, but just as I was about to stand up and start to straighten up, I felt a chill on my back, and my father took the initiative to hug me on the back.

My nose twitched as I whispered, ”I'll carry you home!”
