Chapter 17



round and round?

Wei Tian felt a chill in his heart and quickly ran to the living room. He found that the light in the living room was on. The cat's cry came from the kitchen, and the black cat was squatting at the kitchen door.

When it saw Wei Tian coming out, it was very calm. It squatted motionlessly at the kitchen door, staring at Wei Tian with its beautiful cat eyes.

The sound of Tuan Tuan floating from the kitchen made Wei Tian a little worried. She hurried forward and tried to pry open the kitchen door, but the black cat squatted at the kitchen door instead, not letting her in.

"I always feel that the cat is not an ordinary cat. How should I put it? The way it looks at me is like a human looking at me. The intention it wants to express is very obvious. As soon as I saw its reaction, I knew it didn't want me to go in."

"But Tuan Tuan was in the kitchen, which scared me a little, so I kicked it away and went into the kitchen."

Liang Wan was standing in the kitchen wearing an apron. She was holding a kitchen knife in her hand and was pressing Tuan Tuan on the stove. Tuan Tuan was making terrible screams.

Wei Tian was stunned and went over to snatch Tuan Tuan from Liang Wan's hand.

"In the middle of the night, she was standing in the kitchen, a knife in her hand, pressing her cat against the stovetop. There was water boiling in a pot next to her. I don't know how to describe the scene. It felt like she was going to kill the cat, but the Liang Wan I know is not that kind of person."

Wei Tian took a few steps back while holding Tuan Tuan in his arms, and bumped into the black cat squatting at the kitchen door behind him.

The black cat stared at Wei Tian with its beautiful eyes shining.

"At that time, Liang Wan and the cat made me feel indescribably scared. I felt that the cat was not a cat, and Liang Wan was not the Liang Wan I knew. They were going to attack Tuan Tuan. I immediately carried the cat back to the room."

"Then Liang Wan came knocking on the door and asked me to give her the cat. I didn't dare open the door until daybreak, when she returned."

Wei Tian sighed softly and touched Tuantuan in his arms. "After daybreak, I brought Tuantuan out with me. I asked people I knew about this and they said Liang Wan was possessed by some spirit and wasn't very lucid. The cat next to her was also a big problem."

"Then they told me not to go back, otherwise I would be in danger. They asked me to stay here while they figured out a solution."

Wei Tian raised his eyes and glanced at the two people. "Anyway, this is what I experienced."

Yu Yao scratched her head in confusion. Liang Wan had never mentioned anything about the black cat, so how come another black cat appeared?

On Liang Wan's side, Wei Tian was the weird one, and on Wei Tian's side, Liang Wan was the weird one, but after interacting with both of them, she felt that they were both quite normal.

"Then...what is the story about Liang Wan being possessed?" Yu Yao could only ask this question. After all, the problem lay with this strange possession.

Now the cat Tuantuan is with Wei Tian. Judging from the experiences of both sides, Wei Tian's experience is true and may be more reliable.

"I don't quite understand this. You have to ask Liang Yubai. She knows the specific reason better than me." Wei Tian pointed at the girl in white standing at the door.

Yu Yao turned her head and looked at the door. The group of people and the girl named Liang Yubai were standing at the door, staring at them but not getting close. They were on guard against them.

"You go talk to her, maybe you'll have something in common." Bai Fang raised his chin and looked at Yu Yao. "I'll stay here and ask Miss Wei for more details."

"Okay." Yu Yao nodded, immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

Bai Fang would be better at asking about specific situations, while Yu Yao would be better at talking about supernatural topics.

When Yu Yao arrived at the door, a group of people were staring at her. The girl in white clothes was leaning against the door, holding a folding fan in her hand. She glanced at her and turned away, obviously sulking because she was mistaken for a human trafficker.

"Hello Miss Liang, my name is Yu Yao." Yu Yao introduced herself.

The other party snorted lightly and didn't respond.

"I just heard Miss Wei tell me the details. I know you are not human traffickers, so I want to ask you some questions." Yu Yao persisted in talking to Liang Yubai.

Liang Yubai glanced at her and said, "I don't have much to say to someone like you who doesn't understand. Anyway, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Yu Yao smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I do understand a little bit. Although I can't see anything strange, I can hear their voices. I wonder if we can chat like this."

Liang Yubai paused slightly, and looked at Yu Yao from head to toe, as if thinking about something.

"Can you really hear it?"

Yu Yao nodded immediately, "I just came here because I heard some conversation."

Liang Yubai was silent for two seconds. "Alright, if you lie about something like this, it'll be exposed in no time. Come talk to me outside."

She waved her hand, and the people blocking the door immediately dispersed. Yu Yao followed Liang Yubai, chatting as they walked along the path.

"Let me make it clear first, I'm different from an amateur like you who can only hear sounds. I can see, hear, and even drive them away." As soon as they got outside, Liang Yubai raised her chin to distinguish her position from Yu Yao.

"He can even see and drive away ghosts." Yu Yao thought for a moment, "He's quite similar to that ghost exorcist on TV."

Liang Yubai glanced back at Yu Yao, her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "You really don't understand?"

"What do you know?" Yu Yao was at a loss.

Liang Yubai tilted his head, fanning himself with a fan, and thought for two seconds. "I'm not one of those ghost exorcists you see on TV. After all, ghosts were once human. Some just stay around people in a different way. Many only stay with their relatives. Only those without relatives will become wandering ghosts, finding a random house to live in and moving to another place when someone comes."

“If we run into some trouble, we just move them somewhere else.”

Yu Yao pondered, feeling somewhat puzzled. "But there are always some evil people who become evil ghosts after death."

Liang Yubai snorted lightly, "No, a truly evil person can't become a ghost after death."

"Don't some supernatural events happen occasionally? Ghosts don't cause trouble, so people can discover it?" Although Yu Yao could only hear sounds, there were still rumors about various events.

"Normally, they won't provoke anyone unless that person does something, or there are some other external factors that will cause them to get involved."

Liang Yubai closed his fan and calmly brushed his hair. "A normal person, when they die, will stay with their loved ones. It's just that they can't bear to leave them. They'll stay for a while, and when they're relieved, they'll slowly disappear."

"Those who have no relatives and no obsessions with relatives, if they have any other obsessions, will also stay, but they will just wander around."

"No matter what kind, they usually don't actively harass people."

Yu Yao felt like she had learned something new. "So what's going on with Wei Tian and Liang Wan?"

Liang Yubai tilted his head slightly and glanced at Yu Yao. "It's an external factor."

Yu Yao thought for a moment and said, "It must be the cat."

Liang Yubai tilted his head, staring at Yu Yao thoughtfully. "It's true that it was the cat. This kind of situation is rare, but it does happen occasionally. Spiritual animals take advantage of a person's death to make a small disturbance. What's more, it was a black cat. You've probably heard the rumors about black cats everywhere."

Yu Yao nodded. "According to Wei Tian's description, the cat is also very strange. I guess the cat can talk."

"Huh?" Liang Yubai was stunned, and her delicate brows furrowed. "Did you know that some cats can talk?"

Yu Yao chuckled and scratched her head, "I can still hear things talking."

Liang Yubai was silent for a moment, looking Yu Yao up and down. "People here usually only see spirits but can't hear them talking. If you go higher up, you can hear them talking, and if you go even higher up, you can hear related animals talking. But... what do you mean by this thing talking?"

Yu Yao was also stunned. "It's just... that old house and the floor, and sometimes even magazines that have been left there for a long time can talk."

Liang Yubai narrowed his eyes, "Are you trying to trick me?"

"Really? Aren't there two old houses behind that tree in front of the road? I followed them and found my way here." Yu Yao looked around frantically. "This area is very quiet, no one can talk, but you can hear them if you walk outside."

"Okay, I get it." Liang Yubai nodded calmly. "It's not like I haven't met someone who can hear things talking. I even know one. I'm just curious why you can hear it."

Yu Yao was at a loss. "Is it strange that I can hear? I'm also curious why I can hear."

Liang Yubai stretched out his finger and waved it in front of Yu Yao. "You don't understand. Anyone can hear it. If there's a lot of noise outside, the fact that things can talk would have been known to everyone by now."

"Now, almost no one believes it, and no one knows about it, because everyone has kept it well hidden." Liang Yubai smiled and curved his eyes. "But this is complicated to explain, and it will only get more troublesome if it is related. I won't go into details with you here."

"Regarding Wei Tian and her roommate, it's all about that cat." Liang Yubai brought the subject back. "I've been investigating that cat for the past couple of days. It was a cat that belonged to an elderly lady. About a week ago, the lady passed away, and then the cat ran away."

"A week ago, the time matches!" Yu Yao's eyes lit up.

Liang Yubai stopped and explained to Yu Yao seriously, "There's a rumor in some places that black cats can carry souls away. I've been thinking about it, and I think Wei Tian's roommate has become strange. It's probably because she has another soul attached to her, perhaps that old lady's."

"But... that old lady was a nice person when she was alive. She loved cats, so it doesn't match what Wei Tian described."

"The person leaning over was in a very bad state, with a confused memory, and her words were basically unbelievable, but she herself would not do such a bad thing."

"I'm very puzzled as to why Liang Wan, as described by Wei Tian, would act like that towards her cat."

Yu Yao thought about it, her mind in a mess. She cautiously tried to figure it out, "Could it be... a misunderstanding between the two sides?"
