Aoba Office

Mrs. Shimada was pinched so hard that she rolled her eyes and her face turned blue.

"Madam!" The woman named Tanaka ran over quickly, grabbed the man's arm, and tried to pull him away.

Mrs. Shimada waved her hands and feet, but failed to break away from the man's hand, and her struggle gradually became weaker.

At this time, more people ran out of the hotel and completely pulled the couple away.

Mrs. Shimada coughed several times and lay on the ground panting. The man was also panting and stared at Mrs. Shimada as if he wanted to kill someone.

The black and white cat watched this scene quietly. It was neither happy nor sad. Just a spectator.

The scene in the dream changed, and I followed the cat lying on the roof of the hotel, basking in the moonlight. The next second, the sun bathed me.

I heard an argument in the hotel downstairs. The cat didn't care, and I sank across the roof and into the hotel.

Mrs. Shimada was arguing with her husband again. This time it was her one-sided diatribe. The man smelled of alcohol and was holding a wine bottle. He didn't even look at Mrs. Shimada and completely ignored her.

After Mrs. Shimada cursed for a while, she left angrily.

I sensed the cat's vision.

In the cat's view, Mrs. Shimada called Tanaka and left through the back door of the hotel.

The cat did not follow, yawned, turned over, and continued to sleep.

I flew above the hotel and looked at the mountain road. The branches blocked my view, but from time to time I could see Mrs. Shimada and Tanaka. As expected, the two of them went to the shrine.

The cat's ears moved, and the figure suddenly disappeared on the roof.

The surrounding scenery changed, and I followed the cat and landed on the roof of the shrine.

The earthbags next to the shrine have been dug up. Tanaka stood tremblingly in front of the shrine, trying to persuade Mrs. Shimada.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Shimada shouted angrily, "I won't make it easy for him! It's all that bastard, that bastard... Otherwise, my brother, my father, my mother... that beast..." Shimada The wife gritted her teeth and turned back to the shrine.

I walked into the shrine and saw Mrs. Shimada working with her hands on the beams of the shrine. The rotting carcass of a cat lay at her feet.

Mrs. Shimada tied the rope to the beam, picked up the cat's body with two fingers in disgust, and hung it on the rope.

"Meow——" The cat's shrill cry came from overhead.

Mrs. Shimada was startled, looked up, and ran out of the shrine.

"Madam, let's go quickly! Let's go quickly!" Tanaka shouted anxiously.

"Meow--" The black and white cat's fur puffed up, it arched up and grinned at Mrs. Shimada.

Mrs. Shimada couldn't see the cat, but heard the cat meowing. She nervously held hands with Tanaka and left the shrine quickly.

The cat appeared in the shrine, looked up at his body, turned around, and appeared in the hotel.

It waited for Mrs. Shimada to come back and started meowing again.

At night, wild cats from the mountains are also attracted to it.

The man was drunk and unconscious, muttering something, staggering outside, and fell asleep in the outdoor corridor.

Mrs. Shimada held her head, unable to stop the meowing.

The black and white cat was squatting in the corner of her house.

The dream time jumped again.

The man slapped Mrs. Shimada on the face and pulled her out. Tanaka hugged Shimada Hikaru and cried to persuade the couple.

They made noisy noises all the way into the mountains and arrived at the shrine.

The man pointed at the cat's body and slapped Mrs. Shimada again.

He forced Mrs. Shimada to kowtow to the cat, put the cat down, and bury it properly.

The two started fighting.

Mrs. Shimada was knocked to the ground, biting the man's calf and biting off a piece of meat from it. She pushed the man away and ran back.

The man's face looked very ugly, like someone whose body had been hollowed out. He was weak in energy and blood. He fell to the ground, unable to get up, and cried out in pain.

The cat looked at the man's embarrassed appearance without even blinking.

The man lowered the cat's body and reburied it.

At this time, the sound of water came from behind the shrine.

The cat suddenly stood up.

I felt Yin Qi, a strange yet familiar Yin Qi.

when--

The sound of the frightened deer reached the man's ears, with a lingering meaning that touched people's heartstrings.

The man was dazed for a while, then got up from the ground and walked step by step towards the grove behind the shrine.

The cat hesitated a little, but still followed.

After walking a short distance, the sound of the frightened deer became clearer.

There was a splashing sound in the pool, as if something was swimming in the water.

The man walked to the edge of the pool and leaned over to take a look.

The cat and I both moved closer.

The water is clear, but very deep, and you can't see the bottom.

The shadows in the water are flowing, and there is definitely something under the water.

Wow... Wow...

The shadows in the water were changing, something was about to surface.

I held my breath and finally saw what that thing looked like.

It was a human face, with only skin and nothing else.

It's those female ghosts!

However, their Yin Qi is slightly different.

Before I could see clearly, I heard the man blurt out a name.

"Miss Sayuri!"

Wow.

The human skin disappeared in the water.

The man stretched out his hand, trying to grab something. His hand reached into the water and was immediately grabbed by a hand, causing him to fall into the pool.

Wow!

"Miss Sayuri! Sayuri!" The man was splashing in the water.

He dove into the water, and the water suddenly calmed down.

The cat stepped back and stared at the pool warily.

After waiting for a while, I couldn't help but also got into the pool.

I saw the man in the water, his expression was in a trance, as if he was lost in a beautiful dream. Suddenly, he didn't know whether he saw or remembered something. His eyes widened and bubbles came out of his mouth. He struggled and swam toward the surface.

I saw hands reaching out from under the water and grabbing his feet.

The man struggled desperately, his head broke out of the water, and he grabbed the rocks beside the pool with both hands and climbed to the shore. He crawled on the ground, kicking the ground with his feet until the turf was bare.

The man looked back at the pool, as if looking at some kind of monster.

He got up from the ground and ran away without looking back.

I saw the Yin Qi floating in the air. Those female ghosts have already haunted the man.

The dream changed again.

Mrs. Shimada led the people to the shrine. Among the group of people was a monk wearing cassocks and holding a Zen staff.

The cat was lying on the roof of the shrine, but he just opened his eyelids slightly and took a look.

The monk looked over, his face was serious, and he used his Zen staff hard. The golden ring on the Zen staff made a jingling sound.

I just felt like my whole body was pricked by needles, and the sting was unbearable.

The cat jumped up and ran away from the shrine.

When it got dark, the cat emerged from the woods and saw the empty shrine. The Buddha statues in the shrine have been removed. The cat grave next to the shrine is also gone.

The cat meowed "woohoo" twice, feeling a little anxious. It circled the shrine, sniffed the earthy smell in the air, spread its legs, and ran towards the hotel.
