Chapter 2130: The Farewell Cat

~10 min read 1,975 words

After hearing the black cat's story, Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt didn't speak for a long time. The outsider didn't understand why the animals in this world either didn't speak, or once they spoke, they could always leave such a deep impression on him.

"Then why didn't you go at that time?"

Mr. Bernhardt asked softly in the sunset, and the cat answered as a matter of course:

"Because I hadn't said goodbye to little Janet yet! I was supposed to accompany her all the time, now that I'm going to see Mom, of course I have to say something, otherwise she will be sad."

Saying this, it licked its fur again:

"You are very good and capable humans. If it weren't for you, I would probably have to wait a long time, until little Janet also had to leave before I could see her. Don't worry, after I see little Janet in a while, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Mr. Bernhardt looked at Xia De again, Xia De could see that he was also in a very bad mood because of this story.

Approaching evening, the black fog that had originally shrouded the sky dissipated a bit, allowing people to see the increasingly charming sunset clouds. The black cat licking its fur had been standing on Xia De's shoulder, telling Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt those stories about it and "little Janet" while alive. But at a certain moment, it stopped, grabbed Xia De's shoulder, jumped up to look toward the east side of the street, and then exclaimed:

"Oh, it's little Janet!"

Saying this, it jumped off Xia De's shoulder. Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt didn't chase it, but instructed:

"You must not scare her!"

Walking from the east side of the street at this time was a middle-aged woman holding a paper bag, followed by two children, one big and one small. She looked nearly forty years old, looked exhausted, and was still coughing while walking. The two children behind her, the older one looked fifteen or sixteen, and the younger one was eight or nine.

The black cat, jumping and hopping, ran over. Instead, the two children were the first to discover it, excitedly pulling their mother's sleeve and saying something. Afterward, the middle-aged woman who looked in poor health also looked forward from behind the paper bag she was holding in her arms, and saw the black cat crouching at a distance of only ten steps from them, wagging its tail and looking at her. The sunset scene is always so beautiful. The dusk sunlight shone toward Moon Bay, pulling the woman's shadow obliquely to a flower bush on the side of the street. The black cat had no shadow, just crouching there obediently, looking up and looking at the girl it was once familiar with. The woman opened her mouth, then froze on the spot.

Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt, who were still hiding their figures with illusion, stood in front of a small garden fence of someone's house, watching the woman, after reacting, panic-strickenly let her two children take the paper bag in her hand and go home first. After the children left, she covered her mouth and looked at the cat, then crouched down and clapped her hands at the black cat, and hugged the black cat that jumped happily into her arms tightly.

The cat seemed very comfortable, curled up in its owner's arms and squinted its eyes.

"Didn't expect that after more than twenty years, that lady still recognizes that cat."

Xia De sighed.

"So the cat's description of its past life was not exaggerated. When it was alive, it really lived a fairy-tale-like beautiful childhood with that little girl."

Mr. Bernhardt looked at the scene of the cat and its owner reuniting in the sunset, his eyes flickering in the sunset. Xia De didn't know what he thought of.

"Mr. Watson, to be honest, just now I was worried that if that lady didn't recognize that black cat, and the black cat therefore completely turned into a monster that lost its reason, what should be done? This place is not suitable for fighting. But fortunately, all this didn't happen. There still exist some... beautiful things and beautiful stories in this world. You know, I've started to like this world again."

The two watched the woman crying and hugging the cat as she stood up, while that black cat closed its eyes, with a peaceful expression being hugged. Presumably a long time ago, when the woman was just "little Janet," and when the vengeful spirit black cat was just a "black cat," they also got along like this.

"Did you notice, that woman's physical condition is wrong."

Mr. Bernhardt said to Xia De again. Xia De didn't have the ability to diagnose from a distance:

"I can only hear that her heartbeat speed is abnormal, but it might be because of excitement."

"No, her body temperature is high, and just now when she stood up from a crouching posture, she clearly almost fell."

The blood-sucking species closed his eyes as if sensing something:

"Yes, she has heart disease, and her blood also has diseases. In other words... terminal illness, probably won't live until this winter."

Both of them were silent for a while:

"Natural disease?"

"I think so, the birth, aging, sickness, and death of ordinary people are always like this... That black cat being able to come to see her at this time can also be considered a kind of comfort... Wait, what is it going to do!?"

White light spots that only ring warlocks could see were dissipating from the black cat's body. Mr. Bernhardt almost rushed out to stop the cat's action, but was stopped by Xia De. He had experienced this scene, only the white light rain on the top of Mount Sikar was more shocking than this at that time:

"This is its own choice."

Those faint light spots made the black cat's body become increasingly transparent, and when the light spots penetrated into the woman's body, the woman clearly felt a feeling different from the past. She was a bit surprised, but the cat jumped back to the ground quickly from her arms at this time.

Still crouching at a distance of ten steps from her, looking at her in the sunset. When the woman wanted to walk forward again to hug it up, the cat stood on all fours and spoke:

"Little Janet, goodbye! Take good care of your cubs, let them be as happy as you were before you grew up."

After saying this, it shook its tail and ran toward the distance of the street. In a few breaths, it disappeared completely as if it had melted into the sunset. The woman covered her mouth and looked at the empty street with red eyes, then crouched down and covered her face and cried.

The two children who went home first ran over immediately, and behind her, the man holding more paper bags also walked over suspiciously, and then put down the things in his hands in surprise to comfort his wife.

"Let's go."

Xia De withdrew his gaze from the family of four, bent down to pick up the weak cat that could barely open its eyes, and left with Mr. Bernhardt. The ghost cat, which had exhausted too much power, fell into a complete coma. When it opened its eyes again, it was already facing the sea with the two men in front of the pier, looking at the sea view in the sunset.

"You, you are all very good humans."

It struggled to stand up from Xia De's arms. Its weak appearance was completely different from the high-spirited appearance when it first appeared in the sewer a few hours ago:

"Little Janet is living very happily, without me, she is also living very well. Finally, finally said goodbye, I am also going to see Mom."

It jumped onto Xia De's shoulder with difficulty, rubbed against him with its side face, and "Meow~"ed weakly.

Mr. Bernhardt looked at it worriedly, and Xia De also wanted to let it rest for a while, but the cat still spoke with difficulty:

"I know what you want to know.

Those bad guys and monsters in the sewer originally moved to a sewer further away, that is a place I cannot reach. They are using, using a very strange scale to manufacture those monsters that make me afraid. But what you saw today are just defective products. The most powerful one escaped by entering a woman's body. It is really powerful, kind humans, you must be careful."

Although ghosts don't breathe, the weak cat still panted heavily. The sunset light completely penetrated its body at this moment. Even if it was incomparably powerful originally, it had finally reached the end in the world of the living at this moment.

It lay in Xia De's arms, the cat, the outsider, and the blood-sucking species looked at the half-sunken sun together.

Before disappearing, the cat was still muttering to itself:

"In the end, I still didn't see Mom come to pick me up."

Xia De's breathing frequency changed suddenly. He bent down and put the black cat on the pier beside Mr. Bernhardt, and then under the puzzled expressions of the blood-sucking species and the cat, he stepped off the pier and stepped on the sea surface with both feet.

The pier in the sunset was still a busy moment. Xia De didn't turn on the illusion, but temporarily no one looked here. Mr. Bernhardt and the cat didn't know what Xia De wanted to do, just watching him walk ten steps along the sea surface, then stop, turn around and look at them with his back to the half-sunken sun, and then open his arms.

In Mr. Bernhardt's terrified gaze, a pitch-black crack in the void appeared in front of Xia De out of thin air. The instinct of a living creature made him take a step back, while the instinct of a dead person made the weak cat move forward two steps, coming to the edge of the pier.

The crack expanded, revealing the silent mudflat and the calm black water surface, and at the end of that black water surface was the huge silver moon half-sunken on the water surface.

For some reason, the scene behind the crack seemed to be resonating with the scene where the caster was currently located. Although he was afraid of the scene behind the crack, Mr. Bernhardt was instinctively attracted by it.

Afterward, the crack seemed to be expanding, but it also seemed to be shrinking. The calm black water area overlapped with the actual sea surface, and that half-sunken silver moon also seemed to have merged with the half-sunken sun in reality. ===== CHAPTER 2131 =====

In the terrified gaze of Mr. Bernhardt, a pitch-black crack in the void appeared out of thin air before Xia De. The instinct of a living being made him take a step back, while the instinct of the dead made the weak cat take two steps forward, arriving at the edge of the jetty.

The crack expanded, revealing a silent tidal flat and a calm black water surface, and at the end of that black water surface was a huge silver moon half-submerged in the water.

Somehow, the scene behind the crack seemed to be resonating with the scene where the caster was currently located in reality. Despite clearly fearing the scene behind the crack, Mr. Bernhardt was instinctively drawn to it.

Subsequently, the crack seemed to be expanding, yet also seemed to be shrinking. The calm black waters were overlapping with the real sea surface, and that half-submerged silver moon also seemed to have merged with the half-submerged sun in reality.
