An inescapable fate
The little black cat has a proud and arrogant personality, and it was the first time that he showed such an obvious expression. Qing Yun was stunned, and suddenly realized that he longed for the outside world, but she had always locked him up in this little world.
No, maybe she was not unaware, but just pretending not to know.
Qing Yun felt a little guilty. Although she was summoned and obtained this body legally under the constraints of the contract, and she did nothing wrong to Gege, she couldn't help feeling sorry for Gege who had turned into a little black cat and knew nothing.
This is why she insisted on extending Gege's lifespan, even though she felt guilty about it. What she gained now far exceeded the price she paid.
The little black cat keenly noticed Qingyun's stunned silence, and he just thought that Qingyun didn't agree to let him go out.
After all, he was still young, and he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes in time. He quickly turned his head away, snorting and laughing, "I'm too lazy to go with you."
Qing Yun came back to her senses and was actually amused by his reaction. "If you can fully master the shapeshifting technique, I will take you there."
"Tsk, I don't care." The little black cat felt that his disdain was not obvious enough, so he added, "How boring."
However, Qing Yun knew his duplicity too well. Sure enough, late at night, the little black cat was seen neither sleeping nor sleeping, squatting on the rockery in the yard, absorbing the moonlight and practicing hard, while he was in seclusion during the day.
By the time he left the prison, his ears and tail were already well hidden. He snorted, "I didn't do this just to go to the party."
Qing Yun was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
On the day of the banquet, Qing Yun dressed up the little black cat beautifully. The little black cat didn't like to wear clothes and was always moving around. Qing Yun patted the back of his hand lightly as a warning and made three rules with him. The last one, which he absolutely must not break, was to reveal his cat features.
Most of the people who came to the banquet were smart people. Seeing that the child was good-looking and had a temperament that did not seem to be raised in an ordinary family, and Qingyun happened to have a nephew of about the same age, they thought that this was the legitimate grandson of the prince's palace and were very enthusiastic towards him.
The little black cat was very curious. It was his first time to attend such a banquet. At first he thought it was very interesting. He could neither read nor understand the songs, dances, poems, etc.
But it was particularly novel to see them move, but later, after the little black cat's interest waned, he just felt that these people's chattering was annoying.
But soon, everyone at the banquet's attention was drawn to the Western painter.
He remembered the agreement with Qingyun and did not change back to his original form in public. Instead, he found a place where no one was around.
Qing Yun found that he was gone and was worried that he would be exposed, so she immediately followed him out. When her eyes met those two shining eyes hanging in the darkness, Qing Yun breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to him, "Come here, are you tired of playing? Let's go back."
"I'm not very tired." The black cat walked out of the darkness, jumped into her arms, and curled up in a ball with a disgraceful mouth but a righteous body.
Both the man and the cat noticed the Western painter resting in the pavilion in the distance, but they didn't take it seriously.
They didn't know that the Western painter who came from across the ocean was also a missionary.
The turning point of this beautiful story begins here. Initially, the story of the miko and the black cat was only spread among a small number of people, but it gradually became more and more serious, and with the help of ulterior motives, it reached the ears of those in power.
All the slander was thrown at him. Some said that the royal palace had rebellious intentions and was using Western witchcraft to murder His Majesty; others said it was better to believe it than not, and that such rumors must have some basis...
By the time Qing Yun realized that something was wrong, the rumors had become uncontrollable and eventually turned into an imperial decree of exile.
Qing Yun, who originally thought that he would only use the power of the gods once, once again took out the magical paper and pen.
"That's a cult. In their teachings, they are God's messengers, above everything else in the world." I didn't want to listen to the Western painter's preaching, and I warned my friend the same thing.
As a result, the Western painter was arrested, and this sect that came from across the ocean was quickly controlled and eliminated.
At the same time, Qingyun was noticed by the superiors, who summoned her and arranged a marriage for her, but Qingyun refused.
But the superiors did not listen. Whether it was resisting the marriage or resisting the order, it could be considered as a great rebellion and would bring trouble to the family.
Qingyun changed the past for the third time. She returned to the grassland where Gege once lived and lived there with Gege.
Perhaps it was the excitement of revisiting the old place, but the princess who had lost her memory since she turned into a black cat suddenly began to recover. She would occasionally tell some stories belonging to the princess, and her dressing style also changed. She began to prefer women's clothing, and would tie her long hair up and wear a bun. She also spent more and more time in her human form, and her personality became more and more silent.
Qingyun thought this was a good thing and was very happy for him. She also wanted to ask him what happened.
Until that night, Qingyun met a pair of blood-red eyes.
"You evil monster who has usurped my throne, I'm going to kill you." He said heartbreakingly.
The fourth time, Qing Yun gave the little black cat to a good friend of the same tribe and asked him to take it back to the demon tribe. However, after only twenty years of peaceful life, the little black cat, whose strength had improved by leaps and bounds and who had become the new leader of the cat demon tribe, came back and asked Qing Yun in a cold voice why he abandoned him.
He thought Qingyun was his biological mother, and the two of them were closely connected by cause and effect. If they were not close relatives, such a causal line would rarely exist.
…
In this way, Qing Yun changed the past again and again, and every time the memory came back, it was stuffed into his mind. The first few times, he felt a headache getting worse and worse.
From the fifth time onwards, she clearly felt that her body had become much weaker, and she even began to vomit blood.
Even so, the results of each change are still unsatisfactory, and with each change, there will be new problems waiting for her in the future.
This didn't feel like salvation, but rather a curse, an inescapable fate. She began to doubt whether the god had given her something out of genuine need.
When Qingyun felt that she was beginning to lose consciousness, she knew that she could not go on. She returned to the original place, holding the ignorant kitten, and returned to the hospital again.
This time she did not see the silver-haired man who claimed to be a god. Fortunately, everything had changed except the boss.
The boss smiled at her and said, "Long time no see."
——
"Pandora's Box." Xie Qi's sigh-like words overlapped with the words of the hospital owner in the picture, without a second's difference.
The other party paused, and the moment he turned around, Xie Qi always felt that a pair of eyes were looking at him across this parallel time and space. This feeling only lasted for a moment, and the boss in the mirror had already lit a piece of incense and candle and placed it in front of Qing Yun.
The author has something to say:
This story is coming to an end. It was inspired by the movie "The Butterfly Effect". Of course, the story content and most of the settings are completely original.
If all goes well, the gods will appear in the next chapter, probably.
ps. "The Butterfly Effect" is really good, but it's a pity that the sequel is a poor imitation.
