There are only a few people who know Mrs. Shimada. Over in J country, the media did not interview anyone from the Shimada family. Naturally, no one on the Internet here knows the owner of Dayama Hot Spring Villa, and they can’t explain why. They can only treat her as a common person. .

I had doubts and couldn't sleep well at night.

After I drifted off to sleep, I felt someone touching my head.

Was it my mother who entered the room?

Not quite right... That hand was rough, it was a man's hand.

Could it be dad?

I was touched on the head a few more times before I woke up.

The view was very low, and I saw tatami mats and paper doors. These two things suddenly woke me up.

I separated from the possessed object and saw a strange man and a familiar cat.

It's the black and white cat.

The man stroked the cat's head gently, holding a small dried fish in his other hand and feeding it little by little.

"Meow meow!" There were other cats in the house, and they came to the man's side.

The black and white cat jumped off the man's lap, licked its paws, walked slowly into the sunshine, lay down, yawned, and dozed off with squinted eyes.

I stared at the man's face for a moment and recognized it as the man I'd seen in my dream. It's not my own dream, it's Bai An's dream. The body that emerged from the hot spring pool was the man in front of him.

This must be Mrs. Shimada's husband.

I turned to look at the cat.

Was it the one that Mrs. Shimada killed?

There were footsteps in the corridor.

The door was pushed open with a sound.

The cats in the house either ran away or huddled up in a ball. Some of them arched their backs, folded their ears into airplane ears, and stared straight at the door.

Only the black and white cat was still dozing off, its ears twitching for a moment before returning to their normal state.

"Are you doing these beasts again? I feel uncomfortable! I hate these things! Throw them away! I am pregnant now and these things make me uncomfortable!"

The woman's voice was unfamiliar, but I saw the shadow of Mrs. Shimada in her face. This should be when Mrs. Shimada was young.

When the man heard this, he said impatiently: "What's wrong with you? I won't run to your house. You stay in the house and rest, and these cats don't need you to take care of them."

Mrs. Shimada's face was distorted, her chest heaved violently, she held her belly with both hands, and suddenly cried out "Hey".

The man looked at Mrs. Shimada who was sitting on the ground with disgust, and shouted loudly: "Tanaka! Haruka Tanaka!"

The sound of footsteps came, and a middle-aged woman rushed over in fear, "Madam, sir. Madam!" She helped Mrs. Shimada up.

Mrs. Shimada lay on the ground, "My stomach hurts! Throw those things away! Throw those beasts away from me!"

The man stood up quickly, walked over angrily, grabbed Mrs. Shimada up, and dragged her out.

I was dumbfounded by this flurry of activity.

I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the black and white cat.

The black and white cat was looking sideways at the door of the room.

This cat seems to be very spiritual, and I saw some memories from it.

It was another strange woman, who looked to be in her teens, holding a cat, sitting indoors, with a dignified and beautiful demeanor. She raised her eyes slightly and showed a shy smile. Sitting opposite the girl was Mrs. Shimada's husband, who was younger than he is now, embarrassed, flushed, and praising the black and white cat with some stuttering. The cat looked up at the girl, being caressed tenderly.

The scene turned and I saw the girl being dragged away by her family. She cried and tried to pick up the cat, but was pulled away by her family.

The black and white cat probably went through a period of wandering and ran to the mountains before being picked up by the man.

Just looking at the cat's memory, I can't tell much, but combined with what happened just now, I can already confirm that Mrs. Shimada is lying.

Her relationship with her husband and her husband's origins were obviously not what she told everyone.

The dream scene changed.

The black and white cat ran near the shrine and took a nap in front of the shrine's Buddha statue.

The footsteps woke up the cat, and the child barked, which was annoying.

The cat opened his eyes and saw Mrs. Shimada and Ms. Tanaka coming along the road. Tanaka is holding a little boy in his hands, it should be Shimada Hikaru.

Mrs. Shimada saw the cat at a glance.

The cat must be quite old by this time. It got up, walked out of the shrine, flicked its tail, and walked slowly behind the shrine. It ran to the pool behind the shrine and took a drink of water.

A shadow fell over the cat.

Mrs. Shimada didn't know when she caught up with her, looking down at the cat, her eyes full of hatred.

She reached out and grabbed its neck.

The cat howled and struggled. Its claws scratched the back of Mrs. Shimada's hand. Mrs. Shimada shook her hand violently and threw the cat into the puddle.

The pain the cat felt was passed on to me.

It was flopping in the water, trying to climb out.

Mrs. Shimada cursed, turned her head, looked around, built a broken branch from the ground, surrounded the pool, and beat the cat's body.

"You bitch! You bitch! You should have died a long time ago! Go and die!" She looked like she was crazy, with hatred that was hard to understand.

Tanaka was startled, hugged Shimada Hikari tightly, and shivered.

Shimada Hikari was so frightened that she stopped crying and just stared at her mother blankly.

The cat screamed in the water, slowly losing strength and sinking straight down.

Mrs. Shimada was watching by the pool, watching the cat sink into the water, and the pool gradually calmed down...

when--

The sound of frightened deer sounds, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.

Mrs. Shimada threw away the broken branch and her expression calmed down.

"Go back." Mrs. Shimada said, walking past Tanaka without even looking at the pool.

Tanaka looked at the pool, turned around sadly, and followed Mrs. Shimada's footsteps.

Time skip, I see the cat's body rising from the pool. The corpse was swollen and deformed, and the black and white hair were tangled together, forming a dark mass.

Mrs. Shimada's husband walked to the pond at this time and saw the cat's body at a glance. After being shocked, he cried in grief, jumped into the pool, picked up the cat's body, and held it tightly in his arms.

After a long time, he wiped away his tears, crawled out of the pool, walked to the shrine, dug a grave for the cat, and buried the cat's body in it.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Beside the little dirt bag, the cat's soul appeared. It looked at the man quietly.

After crying for a while, the man stood up and walked to the hotel.

The cat followed the man.

At this time, the hotel was not surrounded by the current fence, only a very short fence.

The man walked in from the small door, and the cat jumped directly onto the fence, landed lightly, and entered the hotel.

"Where did you go? There are still so many things for you to do..." Mrs. Shimada had a straight face and complained when she saw the man. Her eyes swept over the man, and her expression changed when she saw his wet clothes and the mud on them.

"Did you kill it? Did you do it?" The man's voice was low.

Mrs. Shimada looked subtle, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"You did it! It's you! It's all because of you!" The man suddenly yelled, rushed towards Mrs. Shimada, grabbed Mrs. Shimada's neck, and pushed her to the ground.

Good night everyone~
