Bob's eyes quickly fell on Andersel, who was sitting next to Ye He, and he instantly recognized him as the foreign reporter.
His actions were already faster than his thoughts, and he turned around instantly: "Excuse me."
But before Bob could get out of the door, he was pulled by Ye He: "What happened?"
Seeing that the fat man's face was obviously red from being suppressed by the gossip, but his eyes could not help but glance towards Andersel, Ye He then remembered that Bob, like the people in the town, was actually xenophobic.
Andersel looked at Ye He: "You are very popular with children."
Both Judith and the little boy in front of her obviously liked Ye He.
Ye He's eyelids twitched. The system's words "You are very suitable to be a mother" were like a magic voice, still echoing in his mind, so much so that he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Anderse opening his mouth.
Fortunately, Andersel seemed to be simply sighing and had no intention of continuing.
He also noticed that Bob's eyes had been falling here, and he easily guessed that the reason why Bob hesitated to speak was because of his presence.
Andersel was about to leave, but when he saw this scene, he said very thoughtfully: "Since someone is looking for you, I will leave first."
Ye He nodded and said goodbye to Anderse.
When Andersel's figure disappeared from the door, Black Cat and Bob breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Bob almost immediately turned to look at Ye He, his eyes burning: "Brother Revel, why are you sitting with him?"
Ye He: "... Tell me first what you want to say."
Bob was a person who couldn't hold back things. He had been holding back things for a long time, so when Ye He asked, he quickly said, "Mary is dead."
What? !
Ye He's face suddenly showed a look of astonishment. He had just been to Mary's house a few days ago. At that time, Mary was still fine...
Bob put his hands behind his back and sighed like an adult: "Hey, everyone said she killed herself, and I don't know where she is in the town..."
When he heard that the other party was a homicide, Ye He immediately thought of another person: "How is Judith now?!"
Bob said as if he just remembered: "I... I didn't ask, I almost forgot that there was such a person."
But the more Ye He thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He was now very worried about Judith.
After telling Bob to help look after the store first, Ye He turned around and ran towards Mary's house with the black cat in his arms.
Because of the death, the area around Mary's house suddenly became lively. Ye He couldn't squeeze in for a while, so he had to pat one of the residents in the town and ask: "Hello, I want to know about this house." How is your daughter doing now?"
The resident who was tapped on the shoulder was a little angry at first, but after seeing Ye He's appearance, a smile appeared on his face and he replied obediently: "She, I heard she is missing."
"Missing?" Ye He's pupils shrank suddenly.
Another resident also heard the conversation between the two people and added: "Yeah, if you didn't see the person or the body, doesn't that mean you are missing?"
Ye He quickly asked: "Where are the mountains and forests behind?"
He remembered that Judith was very familiar with the back mountains and forests, and it was very possible for her to run into the mountains and forests to hide.
The man replied: "The mayor has sent someone to look for her a long time ago. After all, she is the most likely person to see the murderer, but no one has been found."
"But she is quite pitiful. Her mother is an outsider and has no relatives in the town. Her father doesn't know who he is, and no one continues to look for her..."
There is no one even in the mountains and forests...
Ye He frowned and was about to say something when he saw the mayor walking out of the house, and the middle-aged man was still beside him, but compared to the last time, his cheeks were sunken and he seemed to be weaker. Quite a few.
Seeing the mayor, Ye He shrank silently behind the crowd, fearing that the other party would suddenly recognize him.
As the mayor walked out, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, but soon someone took the lead and said: "Mayor, who is this in the town? Is there really a murderous maniac in our town?"
One person spoke up, and the others began to discuss it at random: "We believe in you, but we are also afraid of death..."
"Mayor, this matter must be resolved!"
As people died one after another in the town, the residents of the town also realized that something was wrong. Although some people committed suicide, so many people in the town had accidents one after another, which still made everyone panic.
Before, no one of them dared to speak out and take the lead due to the majesty of the mayor. Now that someone is taking the lead, they also join in.
Ye He mingled in the crowd without speaking, but silently observed the situation.
One of the older people even said tremblingly: "Mayor, it can't be related to that matter..."
Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by the middle-aged man next to the mayor, and his subsequent voice was drowned in the discussion.
Listening to the noisy discussion, the mayor's already bad mood became more and more irritable. He wanted to silence these people as seriously as usual, but after hearing what Frank said, the mayor changed his original mind.
He raised his hand and said after everyone calmed down: "The people in this town have always been simple and honest, so I believe it was not the residents of the town who committed the crime, but the outsiders. But if we want to catch the murderer, we need everyone's cooperation." ."
"No one needs to go out unless necessary these days so that the murderer can be caught faster."
The mayor's tone was not a question, but an unquestionable order.
"The outsiders... are those reporters?" someone asked aloud.
The mayor did not give a positive answer, nor did he deny it. He just said calmly: "I will investigate clearly."
After receiving the mayor's assurance, everyone was obviously relieved.
After the mayor finished speaking, he only allowed a few young people to stay and ordered others to leave first. Taking advantage of Mary's death, he sealed off the area around Mary's house and the forest to prevent others from approaching.
Because Mary was also an outsider, her body could not be buried in the town cemetery like those who had died before, but had to be taken out of the town, so more manpower was needed.
Ye He waited there for a while but did not wait for the opportunity to approach the forest. However, he was relieved when he heard the mayor telling the young people around him to find Judith so that the murderer could be found as soon as possible.
But when he thought about the mayor's attitude when talking about Ariel, he hesitated.
Seeing that the people around him were almost gone, Ye He had to turn around and leave temporarily in order to avoid being noticed by the mayor.
After he returned to his residence, Bob, who had been bored looking at the store, hurriedly came over and asked him for information.
After hearing that he was not allowed to go out for the time being, Bob cheered: "Great, no need to go to school!"
System: [Children’s happiness is so simple.]
Ye He said affectionately: "You will always be a child in my heart."
The system changed its face instantly and said ruthlessly: [Don't take advantage of me.]
Bob originally just subconsciously wanted to share the news with Ye He, but unexpectedly he was grabbed by the other party to look at the store.
After Ye He came back, he also chose to say goodbye and leave.
Ye He was still thinking hard about where Judith might go, but it was outside the mountains and forests, and he really couldn't think of where else she might go.
The only thing he was glad about now was that there was no news that Judith was taken away by the person who killed Mary. For now, no news turned out to be the best news.
By noon, word spread that there was a murderous maniac in the town. Coupled with the mayor's order, the number of people on the street became sparse.
Even if there were a few scattered people walking, their steps were fast and their expressions were frightened, as if they were afraid of becoming the next target.
The shops around Yehe also closed their doors one after another due to lack of business.
Only then did Ye He realize the impact of this order on him—he had no more customers.
Until night, Ye He didn't see a single guest.
And this has never happened before.
The system comforted: [It's okay, there are few people on the street, and it's normal for the store to be empty.]
Ye He had no choice but to close the door sadly and count his lifespan silently.
Ye He: "System, how much life do I have left?"
System: [Three days and one second.]
[Three days.]
Ye He: "...Okay, no need to count down."
The calculation of system life time is always extremely demanding.
Ye He felt slightly relieved when he heard that there were still three days left. But he didn't know how long the mayor's order would last, and whether three days would be enough.
He could only pray in his heart that the mayor could catch the murderer early and relax the restrictions.
The black cat in his arms noticed that Ye He was in a bad mood, so he said "meow" and patted his shoulder gently with his paws, as if to comfort him.
Ye He looked at the well-behaved black cat and felt slightly relaxed. His hand was just about to rub Xiao Hei out of habit, but thinking of what Anderse had said before, he finally withdrew his hand hesitantly.
During these days, he would try to minimize contact with black cats.
The black cat didn't realize the subtle change in Ye He's attitude. It looked at the other person's outstretched hand and took the initiative to rub it.
Ye He: "..."
Just this once.
Before going to bed at night, Ye He looked at the black cat that had automatically laid on the bed, and silently dragged out the cat's nest that Bob had given him before.
Because this was the cat sent by the goddess, Bob did his best for the black cat. Even the cat's bed was the best, which could accommodate half a person.
At that time, because the black cat had been sleeping with him, Ye He put the cat's nest away. He didn't expect that it would be useful today.
Thinking of not being able to sleep with Black Cat, Ye He actually felt a little sad in his heart, but when he thought that this was for Black Cat's longer-term development, he made up his mind and waved to Black Cat.
The other party can't stick to him all the time.
The black cat glanced at the cat nest on the ground and tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what Ye He meant.
After Ye He had no choice but to drag the cat's nest, he stepped forward and picked up the black cat, wanting to put it in the cat's nest.
The black cat was very happy when it was picked up at first, but after seeing Ye He walking straight towards the cat's nest, it suddenly realized something and wrapped its limbs flexibly around Ye He's arm, no matter how threatening or gentle Ye He was. He refused to continue even though he tried to persuade him, and looked at Ye He with eyes that were not only accusatory but also filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the other party would do such a thing.
Seeing the emotions flowing in the black cat's green eyes, Ye He thought in a daze that he was doing something heinous.
Ye He: "System, I feel so guilty..."
The system obviously couldn't understand this feeling, and just reminded him with a mechanical voice with no fluctuations: [Don't forget what Andersel said before.]
These words made Ye He's heart harden again, but this time he just stretched out his hand to ask Black Cat to let go of his arm, when he saw Black Cat suddenly let go of the hand wrapped around his arm.
Before he could be happy, the black cat suddenly ran away from him, ran back to the bed in a few steps, and then turned to look at him innocently.
The black cat even tapped the soft mattress with its tail, as if asking Ye He why he didn't sleep on it.
Ye He: "......"
He looked at the black cat who was sitting on the bed again, and suddenly lay directly on the cat's bed.
The quality of the cat's nest is very good. Even if Ye He presses it down, there is no sign of damage, but it bears his weight.
Ye He leaned his upper body against the cat's nest, curled his legs together, and barely squeezed into the cat's nest.
After he lay down, he realized that the cat's bed was really soft. It made him feel like he was lying on a cloud, and he felt a little comforted. At least the black cat would not suffer if he slept here. He must just lie down and be able to sleep. Perceive the beauty in it.
It's just that the biggest problem with Black Cat now is that he is unwilling to try.
Ye He's clothes were lifted up due to his curling up movement, revealing his fair and delicate skin, but he didn't notice it at all. Instead, he turned his head to look at the black cat. The corners of his eyes drooped due to sleepiness revealed another kind of emotion. lure.
The black cat's beautiful green eyes were filled with his reflection, sliding from his exposed thin neck to his bent legs.
"Then I'll sleep here." Ye He stretched deliberately and then said.
Seeing that the black cat didn't respond but looked over, Ye He gritted his teeth and could only continue to act, closing his eyes as if he really fell asleep.
For a moment, the only thing left in the room was his shallow breathing.
Because his eyes were closed, Ye He couldn't see the black cat's appearance at this time, so he could only rely on the system to report the black cat's movements at this time.
System: [It’s still lying down.]
Although Ye He's expression did not change, there was already a bit of sadness in his heart, as if he had been abandoned: "It didn't even come to check on me. If I accidentally fainted, it wouldn't know..."
System: [The water will know when the fish cries, and I will know when you die.]
Ye He was not comforted at all and said: "Thank you for cursing me."
Although this position was very uncomfortable, Ye He gritted his teeth and persisted, vowing to let the black cat sleep in the cat's nest this time.
Just when Ye He thought he had to wait a long time and was about to fall asleep, the system business suddenly sounded in his ears: "It's moving."]
Ye He suddenly felt excited in his heart. If he hadn't remembered that he was acting and was afraid of scaring away the black cat, he would have opened his eyes to check the situation himself.
At the same time, Ye He was still carefully adjusting his breathing to prevent Black Cat from noticing something was wrong.
He felt that all the acting skills he had honed in the previous copy were used here.
The black cat didn't notice anything was wrong, and sneaked closer as if afraid of waking him up.
System: [Three two... ..]
Ye He was just about to pounce on the black cat and pin him down in the cat's nest. Unexpectedly, something soft suddenly stepped on him, making him almost jump off the cat's nest.
System: [It's pressing on you, but it's not easy to grab it at this position.]
Ye He: "..."
He decided to continue pretending to be asleep and wait for the most suitable moment to catch the cat.
Anyway, he has been acting for so long, so he is not far behind.
Thinking of this, Ye He's eyes that were about to open were silently closed again.
After closing your eyes, your sense of smell and touch become particularly acute. Ye He could feel the weight of the black cat pressing on him, and its warm breath sprayed on the naked skin, as if it was patrolling the territory.
... ... .itch.
Ye He secretly pursed his lips and tried hard to suppress his body that wanted to tremble due to itching.
The system cheered him on: [Hold on, you will be free when I tell you that you can catch it!]
Ye He nodded silently in his heart.
His cheek was suddenly rubbed by something cold and soft. Ye He paused for a moment before realizing it was the tip of a cat's nose.
The cat was rubbing his cheek.
After realizing this, Ye He's heart almost melted. The soft cat nest under him seemed to have turned into a cold iron bed, making him want to reach out and pick up the black cat and return to their bed.
... ... In fact, he couldn't bear to let the black cat sleep here alone.
Ye He's originally determined heart has begun to waver crazily: "What if Xiao Hei is thirsty at night? What if he is hungry? He is not the kind of outgoing cat that talks about everything, and his discomfort is secretly hidden in his heart... . ”
The system pierced Ye He's worries with one word: [You are obviously sleeping in the same room, so don't make it look like you are in separate rooms.]
In this 20-square-meter room, Ye He could see the nearby cat nest at a glance when he got up.
Ye He gradually calmed down and sighed a few words in his heart, waiting for the best opportunity to catch the cat.
But soon something softer and more flexible pressed against his chest through the clothes, and wet water stains wet the fabric.
Although there were barbs on the cat's tongue, Ye He didn't feel any pain because of the barrier of his clothes, only a numbing itching like an electric current passing through his body.
The black cat is licking his...
Ye He secretly frowned, unable to pretend anymore.
He wondered if it was because the black cat had not been weaned when Bob picked it up, so the black cat was particularly partial to his chest.
However, the black cat did not listen to his actions, and then licked all the way up Ye He's slender neck.
Ye He's hand hanging by his side had quietly tightened, wanting to punch the system that had been telling him to hold on.
The system had no idea that it had been beaten up in Ye He's heart, and it was still repeating like a repeater: [Hold on,]
No, I can't hold on anymore!
After feeling the black cat's tongue trying to pry open his lips, Ye He finally couldn't bear it and opened his eyes, meeting those beautiful green eyes.
The moment he met the black cat's gaze, Ye He's heart skipped a beat.
Although this was not the first time he saw each other's eyes, the black cat's eyes looked particularly like Ilfes's at this moment.
The black cat was not surprised because Ye He suddenly opened his eyes. Ye He could even see a bit of carelessness and doting on the other person's face.
Ye He: "......"
He actually had the illusion of being seen through by a cat.
But looking at the black cat stepping on his chest, Ye He silently put away the doubts in his heart, reached out and hugged the black cat, and then pressed the other person on the cat's nest.
He glanced down at his chest, and after seeing the two wet spots, he took a deep breath, but his tone was unconsciously filled with anger: "You will sleep here tonight."
I don't know whether it was because he saw that Ye He was angry, or whether he was really captured by the cat's nest. The moment he was pushed into the cat's nest, the black cat did not struggle anymore, but lay down obediently in the cat's nest.
Ye He walked towards the bed. After taking a few steps, he turned to look in the direction of the black cat, as if checking whether the other party really complied with what he said.
The black cat seemed to predict Ye He's prediction, and it maintained its original posture until Ye He climbed onto the bed.
Because his clothes were licked wet by the black cat, Ye He was forced to change into another piece of clothes before sleeping.
Lying on the bed and looking at the empty bedside, Ye He sighed in his heart and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
This was the first day he and Black Cat slept separately, and he already tasted the feeling of being alone in an empty bed.
Ye He couldn't help but glance at the black cat again. The black cat was lying on the cat's nest and had no intention of chasing after him.
Ye He felt a little disappointed for no reason. He closed his eyes and lay on the bed: "I miss Xiao Hei so much. I don't think I can sleep tonight..."
The system has started searching for "What should a mother do if she sleeps in a separate bed with her child but can't fall asleep?"
Just when it finally found the answer from the Internet, Ye He's steady breathing sounded in its ears.
Ye He fell asleep.
system:[... ... .]
When he opened his eyes in a daze the next day, Ye He subconsciously touched the side of his neck, and soon touched a familiar furry thing.
Ye He: "..."
He opened his eyes suddenly and saw the black cat nestling beside his neck.
The other person seemed to have just fallen asleep, licking the fingertips he extended as if he didn't know anything.
The system explained: [After you fell asleep last night, it sneaked back into bed, but you were so asleep that I couldn't wake you up.]
Ye He looked at the black cat in his arms, and his mood suddenly became complicated. He didn't expect that Xiao Hei would try to trick him.
He sometimes felt that Xiao Hei was not like an ordinary cat, but more like a human being.
Just when he was about to discuss it with the system, there was another noise outside the house.
The author has something to say: Sleeping in separate beds as imagined by Ye He:
He is at this end, and the black cat and the cat's nest are at the other end.
Actual sleeping in separate beds:
He and the black cat are on this end, and the cat's nest is on the other end.
