Chapter 91: The Third Item: Copper Coin Dream Catcher
When the sky shattered, Jiang Lexin also took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Catman A pulled Bian Ling towards the bronze furnace. Halfway there, Catman A seemed to suddenly sense something and looked towards the direction of the city wall.
"Is that Shen Li?"
In sight, Shen Li was wrapped in a ball of white light, kneeling at the highest point of the city wall, motionless.
"What's wrong with him?"
"You and Jiang Lexin go and destroy the bronze tripod first. I'll be there soon."
Catman A ran quickly towards the city wall.
He ran very fast, and the closer he got to Shen Li, the more he felt his arm itchy.
Soon, Catman A climbed up the wall and came to Shen Li.
When he got closer, he realized that Shen Li was sobbing with his eyes closed.
The silver snake ring wrapped around his finger kept circling, and the tiny snake fangs left countless wounds on his fingers, but the other party still did not react.
Catman A called him a few times tentatively.
Staying in this rainy world for a long time made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Now not only my arms are itchy, but my head is also itchy.
Catman A scratched his arm, and with the help of the light emitted by the heavy hat, he suddenly found that the line of small words appeared on his arm again.
“Damn it!”
What bad luck! Didn’t he get out of the first copy a long time ago? Why did the copy sequelae appear again?
The line of small words could not be erased, as if they were embedded in his flesh.
And it became more and more itchy, scratching his skin from the inside out. Every word and every stroke began to bleed.
It seemed to be urging him to complete the content of this line.
Cat Man A then realized that something was wrong.
He stared at the line of small words. He had read these words countless times and they would pop up from time to time.
"It was a feral cat that had been wandering around garbage dumps, and whether it was dead or alive, its impact on the city was negligible."
"I don't know since when, he could understand human language, and then a huge conspiracy began to brew in his little head."
“It doesn’t want to be insignificant forever. Even if it can’t control the world, it wants to be a part of the play.”
——Catman A
What does it mean? What exactly does this line of words want him to do?
After thinking about it for a while, Cat Man A's head started to itch again.
As he was scratching, he suddenly scratched a pair of cat ears. He felt that he was becoming less and less like himself, and became more and more confused.
Then, he suddenly crawled on the ground, bent his body, and naturally turned into a cat, as if that was his original self.
Catman A squatted on the spot, licked his paws gracefully, took cat steps, and leisurely walked into the ball of light wrapped around Shen Li.
Passing through the light fog, there is a whole new world.
At this moment, Catman A is just a cat.
This is a narrow alley.
Catman A squatted in place and licked his fur calmly.
“Meow.”
The wild cats in the alley gathered towards him in twos and threes, each with a vigilant look and malicious intentions, trying to compete with him for territory.
Even though he was surrounded, Cat Man A had no intention of escaping.
He swung his tail, and the moment the other party pounced on him, he jumped lightly, stepped on a brick with his cat's paw, and jumped onto the trash can.
The shaky lid on the trash can fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The other cats were so frightened that they ran away in all directions, their souls gone, and they dared not fight him anymore.
The final winner of this alley cat fight gracefully flicked his tail, took cat steps, jumped onto the high wall, and took in the ruined city.
I heard the sound of pages turning.
Catman A didn't care about it. Instead, he stared intently at the post station on the other side of the street.
He pricked up his ears alertly, as if some sound inside was attracting him.
After a long time, Catman A looked up at the sky, as if he had made some kind of decision.
Cat Man A slipped into the post station when no one was paying attention.
There was a dead man lying in the corner of the post station.
Everyone was busy looking for something. Cat Man A sniffed the dead man, then jumped onto his chest and just squatted there.
It had seen this dead man half an hour ago.
He once fed him half a loaf of bread in a dark alley.
At that time he was still alive, holding a black box covered with talismans, and curled up beside a garbage dump in the alley, covered in wounds, as if he was hiding from something.
His animal instinct told him that the man was seriously injured.
But this human being, who was emitting a bloody smell and was on the verge of death, still took out half a piece of bread from his pocket to feed him and gently stroked him when he was dying.
That was the first time he felt the warmth of a human being.
And now, his heart had stopped beating and the warmth in his body was fading.
He tried to warm his chest, but...it was no use.
The pen holder outside the post station was sitting on the roof opposite, also looking here.
"This cat is quite interesting." Lan Cheng supported his chin with one hand, looked at the cat man A in the post station from a distance, and then picked up the pen.
"Since you want him to live so much, I will help you."
After finishing "Notes from a Deserted City", he hasn't written for a long time.
After seeing this cat, inspirations came one after another.
It's time to write a new novel.
He opened another brand new notebook and wrote a brief opening on the first page:
"A wild cat in the city, by some strange coincidence, became a human being."
After the period was completed, what he had written came true.
So Cat-Man A merged with the dead man.
The fusion process was not painful, but a little strange. His four claws seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. When he opened his eyes again, he had turned into a human.
He gained all the memories of the dead man, and he completely brought the dead body back to life.
It’s just that at the beginning, I’m not used to it yet.
According to the memory of the owner of the body, the first thing Catman A did after awakening was to check the monster box. He vaguely realized that the things inside were very important.
So he opened the Monster Box and touched the notebook. As a side effect, several lines of print appeared on his arm.
The people in the post station began to chase and intercept him.
The cat-man A who turned into a human was still agile and easily avoided the attack.
He jumped onto the shelf, making a gurgling sound in his throat.
It was easy to turn the post station into a mess.
There, he met Shen Li for the first time.
I also saw Ye Minglang in another world in the mirror.
As a supporting character with zero presence, he transforms into a cat and guides Shen Li all the way to discover the mysteries of the world in the book and guides him to reunite with Ye Minglang.
In a corner invisible to everyone, it silently pushes the story forward and becomes a crucial link that everyone ignores.
Just like now, he took cat steps again, passed through one halo after another, and arrived at the illusion where Shen Li was.
The world was all scarlet, and Shen Li was surrounded by charred corpses.
He knelt there helplessly, his face full of despair, crying silently.
In the hallucination, he was defeated again and again by everyone's voluntary sacrifice.
The more he feared something, the more it happened before his eyes, over and over again. No matter how many times he did it again, he could not save those who died.
This was the countless time that Ye Minglang had died in front of him.
"You are too gentle. This is your strength and also your biggest weakness. So, this time, we will make the choice for you."
Having been tortured by pain over and over again, Chen Li had completely lost the thought of resisting.
If I could, I would go to destruction with you.
As soon as this terrible thought came to his mind, Shen Li was attracted by the meow of a cat.
“Meow.”
A dirty wild cat jumped out from somewhere and rubbed against his feet affectionately.
“Meow.”
Catman A gently bit Chen Li's trouser leg and tugged at him, signaling him to follow him.
Shen Li didn't understand why a cat appeared in the last layer of hell.
So he carefully put down Ye Minglang's body, numbly followed the cat, and walked out of the halo.
The illusion that enveloped Chen Li shattered like bubbles.
Chen Li opened his eyes again and saw the wild cat, who had hidden his merits and fame, turned around and walked away proudly, as if it had completed its mission and would not stay for him anymore.
After changing his mood, Chen Li continued to draw the talisman that he had not finished before.
At the same time, the passages to the other world were opened one by one.
After completing the Wu Zang Miao delivery task, the blind man who was promoted to the heavenly position has become an administrator.
He used the administrator's teleportation authority and returned to Orange Town as soon as possible. In the name of the bishop, he summoned the people of the town to gather in the church to offer their loyalty and faith to Shen Li.
Chen Li could feel the endless power of faith pouring into his body, but it was not enough.
Ye Minglang and Zao Wu were standing not far away. Zao Wu, holding a black umbrella, looked at Chen Li with concern and anxiously asked, "Should we go help him? Can he handle this monster by himself?"
Ye Minglang shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, the sky will fall!"
Ye Minglang: "There's still someone who hasn't come yet. I bet he will come."
Zao Wu was completely confused.
"Who's not here? Who are you talking about, boss?"
On the other side, Chen Li, who was drawing talismans, seemed to sense Ye Minglang's presence.
They stood on different platforms, far apart.
Ye Minglang glanced at Chen Li from a distance, then looked past him and towards another platform behind him.
Someone was standing there with an umbrella.
He slowly raised the edge of the umbrella to keep out the bloody smell and wind and sand.
After not seeing him for a long time, he was still the same as before, tall and thin, like the Shoushan stone in an ink painting.
He looked around with a wary look in his eyes until the other person under his umbrella made a slightly excited sound.
"Ren Gui, we've come at the perfect time. There's something exciting to watch!"
Lan Cheng pushed up his black-framed glasses. "This is a rare grand scene! In the apocalypse, giant ghosts are rampant, the sky is falling, the earth is collapsing, life and death are at stake. Is there a more exciting plot than this?"
"Ren Gui, do you think this world will be saved or destroyed in the end?"
