104. The Third Retirement World [28]

Wu Li stood next to a pile of rubble.

He blinked in confusion, finally confirming that he must be dreaming.

Ever since he could become a human being, he found that his dreams had become more and more strange.

Wu Li didn't like this dream. For some reason, in this dream, he would have an inexplicable feeling - a feeling like he was about to suffocate. It was clear that his feet were on the ground, but deep inside he felt that his feet would be empty at any time. Same, falling from  to a bottomless cliff.

He didn't like this sleep, Wu Li told himself to wake up quickly.

However, he failed, and Wu Li was a little discouraged!

So he just gave up on himself and sat on the ground.

The world in dreams was so strange. As time passed, Wu Li suddenly felt as if he had turned into a cloud - slowly floating up.

The things in front of me are shining with neon light, which is strange and wonderful.

The crowds and houses below him seemed to have been accelerated all of a sudden, and their overlapping shadows were staggered.

Suddenly, Wu Li saw a red figure.

It is a familiar feeling engraved in the soul.

It's Bai Qin, his wife.

The flow of time stopped in an instant, Wuli fell to the ground for the first time, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he looked excited and wanted to rush into the arms of this person.

In reality, people wouldn't let him hug her, but it was different in dreams.

Especially since this was still his dream.

"Man, I miss you so much!"

Wu Li used a coquettish accent.

His right hand reached out, just when his fingertips were about to touch Bai Qin's hair hanging on his shoulders.

"Pfft" sound.

It seemed like something had penetrated his chest.

Bai Qin's head that had been lowered slowly raised, and a cold sarcastic smile flashed through his red eyes.

No, no.

Bai Qin would not smile like this.

She is not...

The girl turned the steel pipe in her hand, and her pale face suddenly approached.

Wu Li discovered at this moment that the red he just saw was not actually the original color of the clothes.

‌ is dyed red, by endless blood.

"Who is Bai Qin? Who are you?" The girl smiled evilly.

I? I am Uri!

I am your favorite little kitty.

But Wu Li found that even though his mouth was open, he couldn't make a sound.

"Have you forgotten?"

"It doesn't matter, at least I finally found you."

Wu Li's ears felt numb.

This voice came from behind him, and the girl's eyes didn't seem to be looking at him, but at the position behind him.

Wu Li turned around, and what shocked him was——

Behind him is a face exactly like his.

There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were almost pathologically tender.

…

When Wu Li woke up from his nap, his head was covered in cold sweat.

In fact, the dream he just had was a bit weird.

Wu Li sat up and happened to touch the large pile of financial books on the desk in the room.

He felt that he must have been tired from reading too many books, so he had such a terrible nightmare.

However, thinking so, Wu Li sat back on the chair obediently.

A few years ago, Wu Li graduated from college.

‌After graduating from college, Wu Li came to work at Lex Group.

Although Wu Li has no experience, he is very smart. Although sometimes he can't help but complain a little, he will study seriously what he needs to learn. Even when he gets off work, he will choose to read more books. , improve your knowledge.

Of course, this time it was not because of Yan Ling's persecution.

This was initiated by Wu Li on his own initiative.

He wants to learn the ways of humans, work harder, and become better.

In this way, he will have enough capital to protect his people well.

‌‌ in Wuli.

His wife should have been the happiest girl in the world.

It is not like the person in the dream. Even though the face is full of smiles, the inner body under the package is crying and crying.

…

Bai Qin has not worked since graduation, and her current condition is not suitable for work.

Wu Li asked Yan Ling to see a doctor for Bai Qin's original health. He checked her up and down and inside and out several times. There was nothing wrong with her body, but Bai Qin's communication with outsiders was Qin obviously resisted.

‌Because Bai Qin liked making clay figures, Wu Li worked hard to make money and used all his savings to open a clay sculpture studio for Bai Qin.

Perhaps because of the past few years of getting along with each other, Bai Qin was no longer as resistant to Wu Li as he was at the beginning, so Wu Li never told him that he was the cat he once was.

He knew that some humans might think that it was a wonderful thing that a cat they once had suddenly turned into a human being, and it was particularly cool.

But some people will be repelled.

Wu Li didn't know who his wife was, and he didn't dare to bet.

Actually, if I think about it carefully, it’s pretty good now.

…

Wu Li learned everything about human beings and shared everything he thought was good with Bai Qin.

Yan Ling said that it is not a problem that a normal cat demon can live for thousands of years, but he is obviously an abnormal type, so Yan Ling cannot guarantee how long he can live.

Maybe thousands of years.

Maybe a hundred years.

It may also live as long as an ordinary cat for more than ten years.

The human world is a world that requires constant communication. Wu Li doesn't know how many more years he can accompany Bai Qin, so as much as possible, Wu Li will bring Bai Qin into contact with some lovely people or things.

She once took him home from the garbage dump without hesitation.

Holding him in her arms, she told him and showed him all the beauties she could imagine in this strange world, word by word, and gave him a new life, a life filled with her sweet scent.

Now, he will hold her hand for the first time and tell her that the world is not scary.

‌Because in this world, he will always stand by her side and protect her.

Until - his existence completely disappeared.

…

Fortunately, even though many people have passed away, he is still alive.

Unfortunately, Bai Qin's life finally came to an end.

Over the years, Wu Li has been adjusting his face to make his appearance consistent with his age.

On the hospital bed, Bai Qin lay weakly.

"Wuli, I might really have to leave."

Bai Qin's lips trembled.

She chatted with Wu Li as if joking.

"I don't know if there will be another world after death. If there is, how wonderful it would be. In this case, in the future - you, Yan Ling, and Siyuan who has left, can we still... We can meet each other in that world for the first time.”

There was a sound in her ears, and Bai Qin said helplessly. She didn't know why Wu Li, who was cold and ruthless in the eyes of others, was always so fragile in front of her.

Bai Qin used to not like to express herself, but she always knew that she didn't hate Wu Li like this.

"Stop crying, you are not ashamed at such an old age."

Bai Qin gasped slightly, and the oxygen mask was full of white gas.

Bai Qin didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes flashed with brilliance for a moment.

"Ahem, Wu Li, do you think the messenger from the world of the dead who came to pick me up will be a cat?"

Bai Qin didn't notice the sudden pause on the faces of the people around him.

"I don't know why these days, but I keep seeing a black cat in my dreams. It always acts coquettishly towards me. Like you, it likes to eat the dried fish I make."

"Once, I even dreamed that you suddenly transformed into that cat."

"But the strange thing is, I don't find it strange at all. It seems - it should be like this."

Following the words, Bai Qin's eyes gradually became blurred.

Bai Qin once heard someone say that when a person dies, the first thing to disappear is sight, and the last thing to disappear is hearing.

But Bai Qin felt dissatisfied, because she felt that her ears were starting to have problems again.

The cry of Wu Li in his ears suddenly turned into the sound of a cat whimpering.

The back of the hand also seemed to be licked by something warm and soft.

But the strange thing is that Bai Qin doesn't feel scared at all.

Some sealed memories in the brain seemed to have been unlocked and escaped instantly.

Those things she once feared, those things she escaped from, and the most cherished memories

She thought about it all.

…

The wind seemed to be swaying with a string of bells.

That is the sound of memory.

Go round and round.

Bai Qin smiled in relief.

…

The end of life.

Looking at the pair of blue-green eyes soaked with tears, Bai Qin softly reached out his hand and gently touched the tips of Wu Li's furry ears as if he remembered it.

"What a silly cat."

"But I really have to leave. You should live well. This time - just think of it as living seriously for yourself."

"Stop crying, be good..."
