In the silence, the cat chef quietly studied the girl in front of her. After a long time, she took off the round-framed glasses on her face, seemingly helpless.
"Have you really thought it through, child?"
She said, "The so-called gamble is just to let you know and understand that there is no difference between here and the outside world. Is there really something in the outside world that is so full of disasters that you are reluctant to part with?"
"Yes."
Fu Yi nodded resolutely.
The cat chef asked again, "Even if you have to bet the possibility of staying here forever, you still want to leave at all costs?"
"Yes." The girl nodded again.
"It's so sad. You remind me of many of our companions and clansmen." The old cat grandmother sighed and stroked the kitten in her hand. "They are all like you. They did not hesitate to break with us just to run to hell … to seek death. It's too unbelievable. Life is precious. It shouldn't be like this."
"I understand." Fu Yi said.
"Even so, you still want to go?"
"Yes."
"Even if you have no chance of winning at all?"
"No, this is the only thing I won't agree with." Fu Yi smiled happily. "I will definitely win this gamble!"
All the cats fell into silence. They solemnly studied the girl in front of them, waiting for her request.
"Please, child."
The cat chef said, "Tell us your last wish."
"Then, please tell me —"
Fu Yi took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Can I get love here?"
"…"
No one responded. All the cats were silent. They looked at her quietly, or at each other in astonishment. Finally, their gazes fell on the old grandmother.
The grandmother was silent.
Fu Yi's smile became more and more cheerful. "What I want is what I have in the outside world. And you can't give it to me, right?"
The grandmother did not refute.
Fu Yi asked again, "Like friendship … love is also mutual, right?"
"Yes." The grandmother nodded.
Fu Yi was relieved. She took a deep breath and asked the last question, "So you can't give it to me, right?"
The grandmother pondered for a moment and suddenly said,
"You can try."
.
As if in a trance, Huai Shi couldn't help but yawn in the midst of the intense card battle. He was sleepy.
Like an illusion, he heard a familiar and sweet voice beside him. "Huai Shi, I like you."
"Brother, stop messing around …"
Subconsciously, he pushed to the side, but he pushed empty air. He was stunned for a moment.
Amazing.
He actually heard his good brother confess to him.
Where did this adolescent hallucination come from?
"What happened?"
The wolf beast at the side urged, "Hurry up and fight. I've been waiting for so long that even the flowers have withered."
"Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, what are you hah?" Huai Shi swung his hand and threw the two kings onto the pile of cards. "What do you have that's bigger than me? I won! You guys are going to lose even your underwear to me, okay? "
The two single dogs, whose faces were covered in foil, cursed and threw their bad cards on the ground.
He had lost completely.
…
"…"
In the room, in the awkward silence, the old woman hesitated and said, "I can guide him … Love always needs some time to develop, right?"
"But this isn't from you guys, right?"
Fu Yi smiled. "Love is mutual, but it's different from friendship. There can't be a third person in it …"
The old cat chef couldn't help but lower her head and sigh dejectedly.
Then, she heard a voice outside the door.
"She won."
As if waiting outside the door for a long time, the old man who stopped here made his final judgment and left with weak footsteps.
The cat chef nodded.
Although it was a pity, she still accepted the loss of the bet and lowered her head to comfort the sad kitten in her arms.
Fu Yi's tense body finally relaxed and she let out a long breath. Immediately, she was puzzled. "Why didn't you lie to me?"
"Huh?" The old chef didn't understand.
"I mean, this kind of rule is completely free of choice, right?"
Fu Yi said, "Love is an illusory thing. As long as we twist our rules a little, it's easy to realize. Isn't it easy to create a fake person?"
The cat chef smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"If that's the case, wouldn't we be lying to you?"
Fu Yi was stunned.
"We just want you to stay here and be friends with us," she said seriously.
"Before the destruction comes, everyone can be happy together … There will be no betrayal, no harm, and no suspicion of each other.
After all, this is a shelter, not a prison, isn't it? "
She smiled kindly and raised her furry hand to touch the stoat's little ears. "Child, lying can't be exchanged for sincerity … or friendship."
The old chef reminded her seriously, "You can't hide it either."
Fu Yi was stunned.
She looked away a little evasively.
"I know …" she whispered. "I just need some time …"
"Then wait patiently." The old chef finally smiled gently. "Before the end comes, we all have enough time to wait and love."
Her figure slowly dissipated.
Along with many disappointed cats.
The warm light of the wooden hut slowly extinguished, as if it had sunk into the distant darkness and left her.
Fu Yi returned to the cold snow, but the snowstorm had stopped. The sky was clear, and the air was fresh.
On the table in front of her, there was a steaming pot of stew and two bowls and chopsticks.
A white crystal was pressed on a note.
On the note, there was a drawing of a smiling face that resembled an old grandmother, and a line of handwriting: "Before the end of the wait, please share it with your friends!"
"…"
Fu Yi was stunned for a long time. She couldn't help but sniff the warm stew in front of her. She couldn't help but laugh. "What? You're still so gentle to us in the end?"
She was silent for a long time. She turned back and looked at a certain husky lying in the snow, drooling. Her expression became angry and helpless.
A snowball the size of a football hit his face.
Huai Shi was startled and looked around vigilantly. "What? What's wrong? Where's the enemy? Fu Yi, don't be afraid. I'll protect you! "
Thinking of this guy reaching a consensus with the enemy, Fu Yi couldn't help but get angry. "Protect my ass! What are you waiting for? Come and eat! "
"Hmm? Why is there food? It smells so good. "
"Why do you care so much? Just eat … Don't use your mouth, okay? It's going to fall over! Forget it, I'll scoop it for you … "
The stoat sighed and waved his hand, activating his telekinesis.
While he was at it, he quietly hid the note in his space.
Wait …?
Her mood became heavy again. She wouldn't be able to wait with this guy until the end of the world, right?
Forget it, let's eat first.
She picked up the small bowl and took a bite of the fresh and juicy beef. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
"Delicious!"
There was a disappointing voice next to her.
.
The meal was finished quickly. After all, the bowl was so big that it wasn't enough to fill the gaps between Huai Shi's teeth, but the taste was really good.
The steaming hot food warmed her heart after eating.
Then, Huai Shi finally noticed the white crystal in Fu Yi's hand.
"Where did you get it?" He leaned over and widened his eyes. "It's shiny and beautiful."
He wanted to eat it.
He had gotten used to eating it these days.
"Go away, someone gave it to me. Why are you licking it?" Fu Yi took the crystal away, not letting Huai Shi continue licking it.
But for some reason, with the crystal in her hand, she felt her heart beat faster.
Her breathing was rapid.
Very quickly, the white crystal actually emitted a faint light and fused into her body.
"Wow, you're eating it yourself and not giving me a bite?"
Huai Shi was surprised. Then, he saw Fu Yi stagger back as if drunk and sit on the ground dizzily.
"I seem … a little …"
She said, "… sleepy."
She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Immediately after, the layer of fine white fur on her body began to grow crazily, wrapping around her and turning her into something like a cocoon.
Huai Shi rubbed his nose in astonishment.
He was hesitating whether to burn this thing with a mouthful of molten iron and save Fu Yi.
But when he thought about it, there was no f * cking function to block friendly fire. What if he accidentally burned Fu Yi to death?
After he went out, he would be eagerly entertained by the good brothers of the Social Security Bureau with thermite, flamethrowers, and napalm bombs.
Just as he was hesitating, the cocoon had already fallen apart.
Fu Yi, who seemed to have been reborn, opened her eyes. When she saw Huai Shi open his mouth, she subconsciously raised her hand and sealed his mouth.
If he said something like "you're shedding fur" or "you're bald," Fu Yi wouldn't be able to take it.
Her teeth closed with a crunch.
Fu Yi was scared.
Huai Shi's mouth was really sealed by her psychokinesis. It was like an iron clamp, unable to open it.
It wasn't until she reacted and released the clamp that Huai Shi was stunned. "Why did you become transparent?"
At this moment, Fu Yi noticed that her body … seemed to have really … become a little transparent.
It seemed that the transparency of the photoshop layer was wrong and pulled up a little, so she could actually vaguely see the color of the soil behind her body.
"Other than this?" Huai Shi asked curiously. "What else can it be?"
"Let me see …"
Fu Yi opened the plug-in and hurriedly searched. Soon, Fu Yi's voice sounded in Huai Shi's mind. "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? "
"Wow! I can't move in human form! "
Huai Shi sighed. "You don't even have to pay the phone bill!"
"… You can shut up."
Encountering such a killjoy, he could make all the good stuff seem worthless.
"Other than this, is there anything else?" Huai Shi asked.
"No, what else do you want?" Fu Yi turned around and rolled her eyes at him. "It's good enough that there's something."
"Okay …"
Huai Shi lost the opportunity to see something strange and shook his head resentfully. "Then let's go."
"Okay, let's go."
Fu Yi jumped up and skillfully flew to his back. "Attack Huai Shi, attack!"
For some reason, Huai Shi suddenly felt that Fu Yi was quite cute just now … Emmmm, it must be an illusion. His good brother was so ruthless, he must be thinking too much.
So, Huai Shi grinned and ran forward with his tongue hanging out.
On his back, Fu Yi couldn't help but sigh. She took one last look at the interface and looked away.
This was the only new skill that Huai Shi didn't tell her. [Psychological Suggestion]
It didn't seem to work at all …
She sighed, weakly fell on her back, and fell asleep.
Behind them, in the depths of the forest, an illusory wooden house faintly appeared from the air.
It quietly watched them go away.
"Go to the King's City, outsiders. The things you desire are all there."
The cat chef whispered goodbye. "I hope that after you leave this short dream, you can face this cruel world."
