71. The Cthulhu Descends (3)
Is there a second person in the bathroom? !
This thought flashed through Ye He's mind, and he was shocked instantly, and quickly put down his clothes.
And he looked in the direction from which his sight came, and saw the black cat standing on the shelf.
When taking a shower/bath just now, Ye He put the black cat outside, but I don’t know when, the black cat went into the bathroom by himself, and he looked at Ye He steadily.
Ye He paused for a few seconds, and said with a touch of emotion: "The cat will look at the owner during the bath/bath, for fear that it is true that the other person is drowning."
The system glanced at the wall suspiciously: [Isn't this a shower? 】
Can you drown in the shower?
Ye He snorted coldly, "The cat doesn't know."
He turned his head and smiled at the black cat immediately, took the black cat on the shelf in his arms, and specially softened his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring the black cat in his arms: "Ah, you are here, do you want to be with you? I take a shower/bath together?"
The black cat didn't speak, just stared at Ye He's chest, and Ye He took the other party's silence as a default.
He remembered that the black cat was rolling outside and really needed to wash/bath, so he took off/takes off his clothes very quickly, and then he held the black cat in one hand and opened the shower with the other.
While Ye He was adjusting the water temperature, he suddenly felt a cold chest, a feeling of dampness and dampness, and at the same time he breathed hot and humid sprayed on his skin.
Ye He's body stiffened, and he lowered his head, just in time to see the cat biting his chest.
There are barbs on the cat’s tongue/head. Ye He didn’t feel anything when he licked the back of his hand, but his chest was a bit sensitive. Therefore, as the cat sneezed, his chest also experienced slight pain. Itchy.
The only thing Ye He is fortunate about now is that he found it in time, otherwise, if he waits a while, the cat is afraid that it will bite his teeth.
He threw the shower aside, holding the black cat away from him in both hands. The black cat suddenly left Ye He's embrace, as if he hadn't recovered yet, his expression was a bit sluggish, and he even subconsciously licked his lips, as if he was reminiscing what he had just felt.
Seeing the black cat dumbfounded, Ye Hewu said, "Do you miss your mother? Or do you want to drink milk?"
He didn't know how big the black cat was. He heard that Bob said that the cat food bowl was ready, so he automatically defaulted the black cat to be able to eat cat food, but he forgot that the other party was just a kitten.
Ye He had forgotten the words he had originally wanted to scold the other party, and it took a long time to find his own voice: "It's so good..."
System: [Where is it? 】
He was really puzzled, after all, he didn't see where the kitten was.
Ye He replied verbally: "It came into this strange environment without a cry, and it was very quiet. Isn't that good?"
"And I ate all the food I gave it today."
The system is understood, even if the black cat takes his left foot first, it is a symbol of well-being in Ye He's eyes.
Ye He hugged the black cat in his arms, and said persuasively, "Goodbye, don't bite me, I don't have milk."
Of course the black cat couldn't hear him, but looked at Ye He innocently. It tilted its head, as if it didn't understand what Ye He was talking about, but the gaze toward Ye He's chest was still about to move.
Seeing that the black cat was about to open his mouth again, Ye He said quickly: "If you bite me, we won't be able to sleep together tonight."
Hearing these words, the black cat withdrew his eyes in disappointment. This time, although it was close to Ye He's skin, it didn't open its mouth to bite.
Ye He stretched out his hand to tease it: "How do I think you seem to understand me?"
System: [Do you know what you look like now? 】
Ye He didn't expect the system to speak suddenly, and asked with some confusion: "What is it like?"
System: [Like a male mother. 】
Ye He: "......"
The system did not exaggerate. At this time, Ye He held the black cat in his arms like a baby, with a gentle smile on his face, really like a male mother.
Ye He suddenly changed a cold and ruthless face: "Then don't disturb the parent-child time between us."
His attention soon turned to washing/bathing the cat. Although he had never raised a cat before, Ye He did not rarely see the scene where the owner was washing/bathing the cat like a war.
Ye He had already made the mental preparations. At first he thought he would take a lot of effort to bathe the cat, but he did not expect that the cat in his arms was behaving, even if he was rushed by the water in the shower, he would not evade , But the line of sight always fell on Ye He.
Since Ye He spotted the black cat, the other party hadn't yelled. At first Ye He thought that the black cat was well-behaved and quiet, but now he couldn't help but wonder if the cat was dumb.
Even if the irritation system interrupted the parent-child time between him and Black Cat, but now Ye He feels that he has encountered a difficult parenting problem, he still has to ask the system for help: "Xiao Hei... will it not be dumb? "
System: [Who is Xiaohei? 】
Ye He: "I gave the cat a new name."
Bob's previous love was so earthy, so Ye He decided to give the cat a new name.
The system didn't speak for a long while, it was really soiled by this name.
But Ye He thought that this problem had touched the blind spot of the system's knowledge, and he sighed, knowing that he still had to solve this problem himself.
He looked at the black cat, and decided to start with.
Ye He: "Meow? Meow?"
Apart from moving its tail, the black cat did not react, nor did it respond eagerly as Ye He thought.
Ye He didn't know if it was because of his substandard pronunciation, or because the black cat was originally dumb.
Ye He: "Normal cats have to respond when they hear meows?"
System: [It depends on whether it is a male cat or a female cat. 】
Ye He thought about it, his eyes fell under the black cat's furry fur, he meditated for a few seconds, and then firmly said: "Before I leave, I must ask Bob to find a beautiful female cat for my son."
"Forget it, his own love is stumbling, let me pick it myself."
system:【.......】
After bathing the cat, Ye He took a quick shower, took a pack of bath towels, walked out of the bathroom with the black cat in his arms, dried the black cat's hair, and finally sat down at the table in pain, "I'm going to learn. ."
He originally wanted to put the black cat on the desk, but he didn't expect the other party to slip back into his arms.
Seeing that the black cat was just sitting in his arms and making no other movements, Ye He let it go, opened the book and started to read it.
After reading a few pages, Ye He felt his eyes were soggy, he closed the book and walked towards the bed with the black cat in his arms.
Because he had already bathed the cat, Ye He also assured the black cat to lie beside him.
The system said quietly: [How about good learning? 】
Ye He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he responded tiredly: "This is only the first day, anyway, there are more than 20 days, I must tomorrow..."
He blinked and saw the black cat lying beside him in a daze, as if already asleep.
Moonlight poured from the window and fell on the black cat who was sitting on the bed without knowing when, casting a black shadow that seemed to cover the entire room.
"Why, don't you want to do it in the window?" Familiar words suddenly sounded in Ye He's ear. He suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was not in the room on the second floor, but was pressed on the window sill.
This, this is...
After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, Ye He's pupils shrank suddenly. This is the mayor's house he went to in the afternoon.
At that time, he was caught by Robert and pressed against the window. It was the black cat and the sudden visitor who rescued him.
Only now, there is no black cat or the sound of the door lock turning, only Ye He and the person behind him are in the room.
His arms were pressed behind him, and the weight on his body forced him to hunch back on the windowsill. Although he could not turn his head, Ye He guessed that the person behind him was Robert.
He had already determined that he was dreaming, because Ye He clearly remembered that he had escaped there, and there was nothing in the dream...
Just as the word system flashed in Ye He's mind, an anxious voice of the system suddenly sounded in his ear: [Ye He, you were caught by Robert! 】
Ye He: "...Why are you also in my dream? Why isn't my Xiao Hei?"
The system also seemed a little strange, and asked anxiously: [What are you talking about? Where are the black cats? ! This is not a dream, are you scared stupid...]
The system's words were interrupted by Robert's movement behind him, Ye He could feel the opponent's legs tangled with his, and his fingertips had penetrated into his clothes.
Wait, how could it not be a dream...
Ye He felt his mind stunned for a moment, he clearly remembered...
The movements of the people behind him continued. He held Ye He's tight waist with one hand, lowered his head and dropped a kiss on Ye He's white neck.
With the strength of the other party's kiss, Ye He's body couldn't help shaking.
He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
The sound of the system in the ear continues: [We have to escape quickly, otherwise you will be...]
When he felt that this was a dream, Ye He could still remain calm, but the urging of the system after another, coupled with the actions of the people behind him, made Ye He doubt his original thoughts.
He no longer knows whether he is really dreaming, or as the system says, he has not escaped from the beginning, and escape is his beautiful dream.
The feeling of indistinguishability between reality and dreams made Ye He feel a little creepy. He noticed that his body was turned over. Ye He thought he had a chance to ask for help, but he did not expect that the other party directly untied his coat and lifted the inside. The clothes blocked his view, and then there was a damp and hot sensation in his chest.
Being blocked from sight made Ye He very uneasy.
Ye He's two hands were also pinched and raised above his head. After realizing what the person was doing, his back was already in a cold sweat, and he begged for mercy in a low voice: "Don't... If you really do this, I, I will tell those reporters."
But this time Robert didn't pay attention to Ye He's threat, and didn't stop his actions.
Ye He felt a sense of despair in his heart, and asked the system in his heart: "System, what should I do?"
The anxious voice of the system just now became cold: [There is no way. 】
[I will unbind from the host and find a new host. 】
Hearing the system, Ye He only felt anxious and helpless, if in the end even the system would abandon him...
However, no matter how Ye He called the system, the other party did not respond, as if he had unbound with Ye He and left.
The people in front of him seemed to be aware of Ye He's distraction, and applied a little force. Although it didn't hurt, it was enough to make Ye He come back to his senses.
Invisible, the sense of touch is sharper.
Just when Ye He felt desperate, he suddenly heard a harsh cell phone ringing.
Hearing this bell, Ye He trembles suddenly-this is the alarm clock he set before to wake him up!
He is indeed dreaming!
This thought seemed to pull Ye He directly out of the chaos. He opened his eyes and sat up without any clothes covering it. It also made Ye He see that this was not Robert’s living room, but his own cozy room. He happened to be sitting on the bed.
Ye He turned off the alarm clock directly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The black cat that was originally nesting on Ye He's neck was also startled by Ye He's sudden rise, opened those faint green eyes, and walked towards Ye He.
Ye He rubbed the cat's head with one hand as a comfort, and whispered in his heart: "System."
The system responded quickly this time: [Yes. 】
It was a little scared by Ye He's inexplicable and gentle tone. Listening to the other's precious tone... Why is it so like lost and recovered?
Hearing the system's response, Ye He completely let go of his heart.
....... As expected, everything just now was a dream.
He escaped from Robert's living room, and the system did not abandon him.
The mood of the black cat was completely opposite to that of Ye He. He didn't seem to be very happy. His tail was drooping, and even if Ye He rubbed his head, he looked a little sluggish.
Ye He was still immersed in the joy of breaking free from the nightmare, and was accusing the system: "I almost lost you. In the dream, you were unbound with me..."
System: [There are other good things? 】
Hearing Ye He sneered, it quickly changed its words: [It's just a dream, don't be so nervous. 】
Ye He frowned: "But this feels too real..."
He got up to wash, but he did not expect that when he was washing his face in the mirror, Ye He saw a few more red marks on his lower back, which looked like fingerprints.
This was pinched by Robert before? Why is he not impressed at all?
It can't be pinched out in a dream, right.
There was a whisper in Ye He's heart. He used his main energy yesterday to wash/bath Xiao Hei, so he didn't check his body much.
After hearing the knock on the door downstairs, he no longer entangled, but changed his clothes and hugged the black cat downstairs, wanting to see if there was a business.
The person here is Bob.
Little Fatty kept his promise, because it was a day off, so early the next morning he dragged a large bag of things to Ye He, saying that it was all the things that black cats had used.
He looked at the black cat in Ye He's arms, and the other person was shrinking in Ye He's arms, closing his eyes as if sleeping.
While stroking the cat's back, Ye He asked the question that lingered in his heart last night: "Is this cat dumb? Since yesterday, I haven't heard it cry."
"Impossible, I called it before." Bob scratched his head, also a little confused: "Maybe it was because I was frightened yesterday?"
Not to mention the cat, even Bob closed his eyes last night, and he looked like Robert when he was about to hit him, so that he didn't sleep well all night, let alone a cat.
Ye He nodded, thinking that Bob had some truth, even he had a nightmare last night.
He changed the conversation and asked Bob when the girl he liked had a birthday party. After all, he still remembered Bob saying he wanted to take the black cat.
Hearing Ye He mentioning this, Bob's gaze suddenly moved away from the black cat in Ye He's arms, revealing an expression of bitter feud: "The birthday party is over. Her uncle died a few days ago. My family is not in the mood to hold a banquet anymore."
Ye He hesitated: "Is someone dead? Is it suicide or..."
Bob shook his head: "I heard that it was a suicide. The mayor said that he would deal with it. Let anyone who knows not talk about it, so as not to be heard by those reporters."
Because there are no police/inspectors, and the location of the town is closed, the mayor plays the role of executor.
What makes Ye He feel strange is that this person obviously committed suicide, even if the reporter knew it, what would happen?
Or does the mayor actually speak with integrity, or does he feel that this kind of negative news is known to the media and will affect the propaganda of their town?
Bob was still a child, and all the news he got was hearsay, and it was impossible to solve Ye He's doubts.
He looked at the cat and sighed enviously: "It sticks to you."
What Bob didn't say was that the place he was caught by the cat last night was still aching.
Ye He was originally worried about whether he could receive the commission, but he did not expect that Bob did not lie. He did have some contacts and pushed Ye He’s detective agency to neighbors and partners he knew. Therefore, Ye He has these few days. There is a steady stream of orders.
[Congratulations to the host for completing Maria’s commission and helping her find the wedding ring. 】
[Congratulations to the host for completing Alexander’s entrustment and helping him catch the thief from the orchard. 】
[Congratulations to the host for completion...]
The total commissions and random tasks triggered by Ye He actually saved four or five days of life, pulling him back from the countdown to his life.
Because of his very good personality, he accepts all commissions regardless of the size. Therefore, although many residents in the town know that he is an outsider, they still show acceptance towards Ye He.
And the reporter team hadn't left the town, Robert couldn't get out of the house, Ye He was about to gradually forget this person, and Ye He never had the nightmare that night.
The continuous business of Ye He Private Detective Agency also attracted the jealousy of his peers. This afternoon, just as Ye He was patiently listening to an old grandma talking about his commission, a sturdy middle-aged man suddenly rushed in. The old grandma pulled up from the chair: "I also said where you went, it turned out to be here!"
The middle-aged man looked like a bodybuilder, tall, muscular, and a bit fierce on his face. He was staring at the shivering grandmother.
Compared with a strong middle-aged man, Ye He's back looks even thinner.
Although he knew that he would definitely not be able to beat him, but seeing the elderly grandmother being pulled like this by a middle-aged man, Ye He put down the black cat in his arms, resisted the fear of being beaten and walked forward, and wanted to persuade the middle-aged first. The man let go of the grandmother: "What are you doing? If you have something to say, let go of him first."
The middle-aged man glared at Ye He: "What do you know? The commission she told me first is my guest!"
But looking at his attitude towards the old grandmother, it doesn't look like he treats guests, it's more like a bully bullying the weak.
The old grandmother was a little dizzy by his rude movements, and immediately after she recovered her senses, she said intermittently: "No...I'm not looking for you..."
The last private detective agency she went to before Ye He belonged to this middle-aged man. She is getting older and reacts slowly. She has to think about speaking for a while before she can continue, but the middle-aged man in front of her obviously does not have the patience to listen. Throw the pen angrily.
He might not mean it on purpose, but the pen almost hit the standing old woman, and he didn't mean to apologize when she saw the old woman swayed twice because she avoided her body.
Upon seeing this, the grandmother immediately found an excuse to walk out and walked into Ye He's private detective agency, but she didn't expect the other party to chase after her again.
Ye He knew at this time that the middle-aged man in front of him was also a private detective and his own competitor. Because he felt that he had robbed him of business, he turned into anger.
The middle-aged man also heard the old grandmother's words, and suddenly became even more angry. He held the old grandmother's arm with heavier force. Even though the other party had already started to cry, he didn't let go: "What did you say?!"
Seeing that it was useless to persuade Ye He, he rushed forward and wanted to snatch the old grandmother back. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man directly let go of the old grandmother who had been holding on tightly, turned his fist, and attacked Ye He.
Ye He understood now that the middle-aged man's goal at the beginning was himself, and it was just an excuse for him to come to see the grandmother just now.
Just as Ye He thought, the middle-aged man was indeed directed at him. His shop and Ye He's shop are not far away. Ye He's shop has more customers, but his shop has a bleak business. Therefore, I feel that the reason why the other party has recently had more customers is because it has robbed his own business.
As soon as Ye He dodged it, he saw the opponent's next punch immediately hitting him.
And he couldn't avoid it this time.
Looking at the other party's fist the size of a sandbag, Ye He already knew that he would probably be lying in bed in the next few days.
He closed his eyes subconsciously. What he didn't expect was that the pain he had expected did not strike, but a gentle and pleasant male voice rang in his ear: "Don't do it."
