The Urban Legends of Monsters: I am a cat

"...That's the way the Mage" a woman said with lingering fears, "It's been like this every night since that night. There must be a demon at work. Mage, you have to save me!" The more she said, the more afraid she couldn't help Shivering, "Master, I haven't slept for several days, you must save me..."

The mage held out her hand to stop her from going on. He moved slowly around the room, looking around.

This is a well-decorated one-bedroom, one-bedroom house located in a high-end residential area with all kinds of modern facilities. At the time of the incident, she was the first choice to invite a mage.

This mage is around 60 years old, wearing a moon-white Tang suit, immortal style, and extraordinary spirit. This master has always lived by divination, and occasionally he is invited by others to drive away demons and town houses. But out of ten to eleven of the demon exorcism incidents he has accepted so far are the result of the client's own chasing and wild thoughts. He was sighing in his heart: it was human beings who gave birth to suspicious ghosts, but they always detained the monsters. However, after this transaction, the wine money for this month is quite cost-effective. As he thought about it, he walked around the house with his fingers pinched, pretending to be checking around.

The owner of this house is a twenty-three or four-year-old woman with a beautiful face full of bleak and startled eyes, and she follows the mage with hope. She holds a cat in her arms as if trying to get rid of the pet Get some courage there. Her cat obviously couldn't understand the owner's uneasiness and was coquettishly humming. "Mage?" She mustered up the courage to ask after seeing the Mage walking around the house.

"Rest assured that everything is mine!" The mage gave her a reassuring answer. He was thinking in his mind how to make up a story to bring this to an end.

"This is..." He suddenly turned his head alertly, and a faint smell drifted under his nose. "There is a demon! Did you really meet..." He couldn't help but shudder.

The woman hurriedly asked: "Mage?"

"Don't make a sound!" The mage took out a peach wood sword and put a few spells on the sword, only to see him swing the sword and the spell was burning. The mage used the burning spell to dot the four directions and then drew out a few more pieces. The spell "Clap!" was stuck on the wall with a mouthful of water in its mouth and sprayed it on the spell, and several words written in cinnabar that no one could recognize appeared. The mage touched his sweat and said, "Okay."

The woman asked in surprise: "The mage said that the monsters here have been cleared?"

The mage said in a serious tone: "I have removed the ghosts and ghosts here. I have removed these few talismans and put them here. The lady can rest easy from now on."

"Ah..." The woman let out a long breath and reached for her purse. "Then, Mage, your reward is..."

The Master stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait until the lady's house is settled down before discussing the remuneration, and the poor road will leave first." He then bowed his hands and went out for the ceremony.

"Sure enough!" The woman praised her as she fell on the sand happily and held up the cat in her hand, "Great coffee! We can have a good night's sleep tonight."

"Meow meow." Coffee calls. As long as it is in the owner's bed, it can sleep well at any time.

Lu Jiu stood in front of Zhou Ying's door several times, reaching out to knock on the door and retracting again and again.

After being frightened repeatedly when he first came to the city, he couldn't understand why he didn't immediately carry his luggage and fled back to the mountains, but continued to stay. However, he did not follow his uncle deer in the city to work as a professional liar for horses. Now he has opened a farm in the suburbs where urban and rural areas are combined. He raises pigs, sheep, chickens and other animals, and also grows mushrooms because their family has a large number of creatures. The ability to reproduce is so prosperous. It's just that Liu Di and Huo'er used his place as a "canteen", so his income has not been high.

Lu Jiu doesn't like to come to the city, but he does have something to ask Zhou Ying for help this time. "Bang bang!" He finally plucked up the courage to start knocking on the door. "Bang bang!"

After the knock on the door four times, the door slammed open and the fire was fierce. He stretched out his head aggressively and shouted: "Who! Knock on the door in the daytime and don't want to live!"

Lu Jiu stepped back in fright and stammered, "Are Zhou, Zhou, and Zhou Ying at home?"

"He didn't go out with the zombies - if he was here, I would use me to open the door myself!" Huo'er yawned and asked "what's the matter with you?"

"No, it's alright!" It's too dangerous for Zhou Ying to be alone with Bi Fang. Lu Jiu turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" Huo'er touched his stomach and said, "Sleep so hungry, you just came in for me!"

“~~~~~~”

"Hurry up and cook for me or else I'll eat you!" Huo'er ordered "The meat is in the refrigerator, the water is in the tap, the pot is on the stove... You better hurry up!"

Lu Jiu took the meat out of the refrigerator, endured the nausea caused by the **** smell, and tried not to think about what the meat was - Huo'er didn't want to eat him, he was very fortunate and naturally did not dare to explain himself Doesn't cook meat at all. When he nervously brought the cooked meat, Huo'er tasted it and said, "It tastes better than Ying's cooking." Lu Jiu secretly let out a breath.

Huo'er sighed contentedly and asked, "Okay, let's talk about what the **** are you doing here? I'll listen to you for the sake of cooking for me."

"My uncle sometimes collects demons for others..." Lu Jiu said cautiously, looking at Huo'er's face.

"He's a monster himself."

"He is... a liar..."

"Oh yes, your uncle is the liar Lu Shu." Huo'er nodded and said.

"He was invited to a family's house to collect monsters last night and there were 'really' monsters there, so he randomly put a talisman on the wall and ran away..."

"Escaped? Escaped?" Huo'er said in disbelief, "Maybe it's a delicious monster, how did he escape?"

Lu Jiu didn't know how to answer.

"What about later?" Huo'er would never get tired of listening to stories.

"Then he escaped."

"I asked him after he escaped?"

"...he came to me because the woman who asked him to exorcise the demon paid a lot and he was very reluctant, so he asked me to see what it was."

"You go? Is your mana higher than his?" Huo'er asked.

Actually, what the deer said at the time was: "Xiao Jiu, aren't you good friends with Liu Di? Ask him to see what kind of monster it is." - I and Liu Di are friends? Lu Jiu didn't think that he was just the target of Liu Di's bullying, right? Just thinking of what happened to Liu Di every time he forced him to drink with him, he didn't dare to take the initiative to approach Liu Di. But he couldn't refuse his uncle's request, so after thinking about it, he still wanted to ask the good-natured Zhou Ying for help.

"Did you go? What kind of monster? Is it delicious?" Huo'er was still asking.

"...I...I don't dare to go..."

"What a pity." Huo'er sighed, "wasting such a good opportunity."

“…”

"Then why are you looking for Ying?" Huo'er squinted at Lu Jiu, "Could it be..."

"No, no, I'm going back." Lu Jiu wanted to run away.

"Haha, don't be so ignorant, I often eat your pigs, and I should do you a favor today." Huo'er patted Lu Jiu's shoulder with his wings and said, "But let's talk about it first, no matter how good it is. All the monsters I eat will be eaten by me, and you will also pay me ten pigs."

“…”

"Let's go, let's go, where is that monster?"

Lu Jiu came to Zhou Ying in the hope that the matter could be resolved peacefully. If only Huo'er went there, there would only be one outcome - that monster was swallowed by Huo'er indiscriminately. Such a thing Lu Jiu just imagined was creepy, but he didn't dare to resist Huo'er's request. Urged by Huo'er to go out to the fifth floor, he saw Lin Rui slapped a basketball and ran up "bang bang". He saw Lu Jiu's head standing on Huo'er and asked, "Where are you going, Huo'er? Today my mother won't come back from the night shift, will you come to my house to play games?"

"I'm going to catch monsters!" Huo'er announced triumphantly.

Lu Jiu had an idea: If Zhou Ying hadn't been able to dissuade Huo'er when it started making trouble, it would be only Lin Rui. He hurriedly called, "Lin Rui, do you want to go with me?"

"Catch monsters?" Lin Rui tilted his head and rolled his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Lu Jiu briefly explained the situation to him.

"It's really useless" Lin Rui pouted, "Your uncles and nephews are really a disgrace to monsters!"

"Let's go with Lin Rui, he will pay twenty pigs as a reward." Huo'er automatically doubled the reward.

"I don't like eating raw meat," Lin Rui said, "I'll give it to you. But today, when my mother is not at home, I have to cook and eat by myself. I can't go with you." His face said again, "It's a pity, I have to cook by myself tonight!" He saw that Huo'er lowered his voice and leaned into Lu Jiu's ear and said, "You want me to go with Huo'er? Right?"

Huo'er craned his neck to hear what he was saying.

"...What do you want to eat?" Lu Jiu finally understood what he meant.

"KFC!" Lin Rui exclaimed that the fox's nature was revealed at such a time.

Lin Rui and Huo'er ate until KFC closed at nine o'clock in the evening and ate up all the money in Lu Jiu's pocket. Then they both wiped their mouths with satisfaction and followed Lu Jiu to the girl's house.

The woman hasn't slept well for the past few days because of her anxiety. Today, once she calmed down, she slept early. Lin Rui waved her hand and cast a spell to make her sleep more soundly, and then three monsters appeared in the room. A cat beside the sleeping woman jumped up and bowed and made a "woohoo" sound to them.

"Where are the monsters?" Huo'er pursed her lips and looked around.

"It is said that monsters appear every day after she falls asleep to mess with her..." Lu Jiu also looked around, but the point was completely different from Huo'er.

"Then you find it! Where? Where?"

"...I don't know...my uncle said he did feel a bit of a demon."

"Can you believe what that old liar said? If you lied to me, I will kill you!! Humph!" Huo'er's threat was very powerful.

Lin Rui looked around for a while and said, "It's true that there is no demonic energy, but it's hard to tell. If it was a monster with weak demonic energy, the three of us would have appeared together long ago, and it would have been easy to cover up its demonic energy. Let's wait, since it's been here for the past few days to make trouble, it should be here today too - that talisman that is a deer as a horse won't be of any use."

"A monster with weak demonic energy? That's not delicious." Huo'er yawned in disappointment, "But for the sake of Lu Jiu's fifty pigs, I'll accompany you to wait here."

Lu Jiu: "~~~~~~~~~"

The cat named Coffee has been staring at them with amber eyes and listening to them listening to what they are saying. Come out, meow, my master is very scared these days meow, although I don't see anything meow." It jumped off the bed and waved its front paws on both hind paws and said, "You guys hurry up and catch meow. I still have something to do for my master, so I won't accompany you, meow." It went straight to the closet, opened the door and dragged a box out.

Huo'er, Lin Rui, and Lu Jiu looked at each other and stared at it together.

Coffee opened the box and took out a large wad of knitted wool. When he looked up, he saw them looking at him and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Meow, I've never seen a cat! Meow!"

"Are you a cat?" Lin Rui picked it up and held it in front of his eyes, "It looks like a cat demon anyway."

"Let go of me! Meow, you stinky monster, meow!" Coffee's four-clawed dance tried to grab Lin Rui's paw. Lin Rui threw it to the ground, and it immediately took on an attacking stance and shouted "woohoohoowoo": "You stinky monsters are scaring my master, right? Meow, my coffee will never let you go! Meow!"

"...Aren't you trying to scare her and make trouble with her?"

"Didn't you hear her say it's a monster? Meow! It's a monster like you, Meow! My coffee is the most obedient and well-behaved cat in the world, Meow This is what my master said Meow can't be wrong Meow Woo!"

"What do you think you are not a monster?"

"Me? Meow, of course I'm a cat meow..." Coffee said triumphantly, "I'm the most beautiful and noble cat meow. This is the meow that the owner says can't be wrong. You can't see meow." It gave Lin Rui a white look, "Meow, the idiot who doesn't even know cats, ignores you. I have to help my master a lot! Meow." The woolen items were unfolded, and a few **** of wool were taken out and sat on the sand, holding them with both front paws and knitting them in a similar manner.

The woolen item in the coffee's hand is neither long nor short. It is a scarf and a barrel shape. It is a sweater and has no shoulders, collars and arms. There are broken threads everywhere, some places are woven too tightly and twisted into knots, and some places are woven too loosely to form holes one by one. Lin Rui, Huo'er and Lu Jiu watched it for a long time and no one knew what it was. I saw that although the coffee was woven with two claws, it was woven very quickly and a large section was woven in a short while. It accidentally dropped the ball of thread on the ground and rolled out. It immediately cheered and jumped on it, kicking and biting, and "playing" with the ball of thread. The spool of thread comes back and continues to weave.

"Excuse me..." Lu Jiu finally couldn't help but ask "What are you doing?"

"Meow is weaving." Coffee doesn't even look up.

"But what is this?"

"Sweater! Meow." Coffee gave this stupid monster who didn't know cats and sweaters a blank look.

"This is a sweater." Lu Jiu, Lin Rui and Huo'er suddenly realized that this is not a fishing net but a sweater.

Lu Jiu Nuonuo said: "The reason that woman asked my uncle to get rid of the demon is because a sweater is said to be knitted for her boyfriend, but it changes every night and is different from before she goes to bed. The wool has become a mess." Lu Jiu looked at the coffee that was still trying to knit and said, "She couldn't find any traces of outsiders coming in, so she thought that there were monsters at home and dared not sleep every day."

"Then this monster did it." Lin Rui picked up the coffee again.

"You're the monster meow!" Coffee yelled angrily "I'm a cat! Meow!"

"Of course I'm a monster!" Lin Rui said, "But you're also a cat monster! I think you probably ate Diliu some time ago and turned into a monster? Now your master hires someone to get rid of it. You accept your fate for Huo'er's fifty pigs!"

"Master...to get rid of the demon means...meow...to get rid of me..." Coffee's eyes widened in disbelief. "Master...to get rid of me...meow~~~~" Its voice trembled and said "Master...don't want me...meow."

"Because you messed up her carefully knitted sweater every night, she was scared to death now..." Lin Rui looked at the cat and thought about what to do with it.

"Wow~~~~~~" Coffee burst out with an earth-shattering cry "Master doesn't want me anymore~~~~ Meow~~~~ I don't want to live anymore~~ Meow~~~~ I want Damn~~~~~~Wow~~~~~~Master doesn't want me~~~~Meow~~~~~~"

"Who told you to scare her every night deserves it!" Huo'er said without pity.

"I didn't scare the owner~~~ Meow~~~~ Coffee likes the owner the most~~ Meow~~~~"

"You're making this 'sweater' and want to deny it!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Meow feed me dried fish and milk every day Meow Meow let me sleep beside her Meow Meow said I am the cutest cat in the world Meow Meow I like the master the most Meow meow I can do anything for the master I must let the master and her The man I like is getting married! Meow, why did the master suddenly not want coffee~~~~~~ She also said that she loved my meow the most~~~~" and then began to cry again.

Lin Rui figured out what was going on. Holding the sweater, he said, "But if you knit the sweater like this, it's normal for her to think it's malicious damage."

"I'm not good at knitting meow! Meow I'm obviously the same as the master's knitting! Meow!"

Everyone nods when Coffee points out which of the sweater his owner knitted and which he knitted - exactly the same. "This woman's boyfriend is so pitiful!" Lin Rui said with a shrug.

"Master doesn't want me anymore~~~~~ Meow~~~~" Coffee is still choking and holding the "sweater" and crying again "Master doesn't want me~~~~~ Meow~ ~~~”

"What should I do now?" Lu Jiu asked at a loss.

"What should I do? Anyway, I have already found out the monsters - only your uncles and nephews can be frightened by such monsters! It's a shame for monsters!!" Lin Rui sighed, "Now a deer is a horse. You can go to collect the money with confidence. As for this cat... Do you want to eat it, Huo'er?"

"Don't eat it! It doesn't have any mana what a cat is delicious!" Huo'er dismissed the cat demon "There are fifty pigs waiting for me to eat! If you can't finish it, it will exist first. There, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to four, and four gives birth to eight... More and more... Eventually there will be pigs that can't be eaten..." Huo'er calculated carefully.

"Then what should it do?" Lu Jiu cried pitifully when he saw the coffee and couldn't help feeling pity. He didn't notice that under Huo'er's calculation, his pig farm would be owned by it.

Lin Rui looked at the coffee and scratched his head and said, "Yeah, I can't leave it alone. Feed the cat demon!"

"I'm not a cat demon! Meow! I'm a cat! Meow!" Coffee, who was still crying, immediately raised his head and retorted.

"If you don't want your master to not want you and me there is a way."

"What can I do?! Meow." Coffee jumped up and ran to Lin Rui's feet and rubbed "Mimi" and asked coquettishly, "What? Meow. Tell me, tell me. Me! Meow."

"You will never let your master know you are a monster."

"I'm not a monster meow!"

"Also you'll have to restore these 'sweaters' and the room to their original appearance so she can feel like nothing happened."

"This one is easy to meow." Coffee immediately started to move and saw it quickly remove the knitted part of the sweater, roll the loose yarn on the ground into a ball, put it all back in the box, put the box in the cooker and use It took less than ten minutes for everything to return to its original state after the tail swept the lint on the ground. "What else? Meow." Coffee looked at Lin Rui with hope.

"That's it." Lin Rui said, "As long as you don't make trouble for your master in the future and don't let her notice that there are monsters in the house, she will think that the deer is a horse. ."

"Are you saying that the master will love me as much as he used to meow meow every day that I am the most beautiful, the cutest, the most noble, the gentlest, the smartest coffee? Meow." Coffee asked cheerfully.

"If someone tells me like this every day, I must eat him as soon as possible!" Huo'er made a disgusting expression to declare to Lu Jiu. Lu Jiu also felt that listening to such words every day was more uncomfortable than making Huo'er stare.

"But coffee, let me tell you, you can't knit a sweater with your claws." Lin Rui said a lesson.

"Why? Meow I can meow as well with my claws as the master knits."

"...she can't use it as a standard for knitting..."

"Hey coffee, if you really want to learn to knit a sweater, I can help you find a good teacher." Lin Rui said proudly.

The next day, Lin Rui's mother Lin Qingping was knitting a sweater for her son, and the cat that her son brought back to play with her was staring at her without blinking, "Xiao Rui is optimistic about your little friend, if it pounces on it, it will throw the wool. messed up."

"No, he wants to learn to knit sweaters from his mother." Lin Rui patted the cat and said.

"A cat learns to knit a sweater? You are just too imaginative as a child."

Lin Rui laughed happily and ran over to hold his cheeks to look at the sweater his mother knitted for him: the light green sweater was lined with a light yellow pattern on the chest and the two letters "LR" were knitted in artistic fonts . Now only the last two sleeves of the sweater are left unfinished. Lin Rui looked at him happily and suddenly said, "Mom, I feel so lucky to be able to wear such a good sweater."

"You kid..." Lin Qingping's eyes were red, "Mom can't buy brand-name sweaters for you like other mothers can only make you wear knitted sweaters. Wait until the debts owed by your father are repaid. I'll buy you the prettiest sweater so you won't be able to beat your classmates in school."

"No, I think the sweater knitted by my mother is more beautiful than the 'fishnet'...isn't it much prettier than the woolen sweater they bought! And the whole class is wearing the wool fir that I bought. Only I have my mother knitted by herself. It's too late for them to envy me! (Heh, whoever dares to look down on me will eat him!)" Lin Rui threw himself into his mother's arms and acted coquettishly. He sincerely cherished the happiness now.

Three days later, Lin Rui put on a new sweater and thought that he had learned a skill. Coffee returned home smugly and sat on the sand, licking his paws, waiting for his master to fall asleep and show off his skills - knitting a real sweater to show her Looking at her, she doesn't think that there are monsters at home, but that there are gods at home, right?

"Coffee!" As soon as the owner came back, he held it up, turned it around, and hugged it tightly, saying, "I finally gathered up the courage to give him the knitted sweater today, and he didn't refuse! So happy, coffee, you're happy for me too!" She kissed the coffee a few times before putting it down, "Let me make a feast to celebrate! What would you like to have with coffee? Shrimp stewed in milk or fish porridge?"

Coffee stayed on the sand and watched the master busy in the kitchen, analyzing what she just said in her mind: the sweater was given to him = already knitted = no need to help yourself = what you learned is useless...

"Wow!!!!" It hugged a cushion and burst into tears. "Hate! Master! Meow I haven't shown my skills yet Meow I'm so serious about learning meow~~~~~"

His owner was in the kitchen only to hear the cat meowing, recalling giving him the gift and thinking, "Will he be pleasantly surprised? Even the coffee is happy for me..." She hugged I was immersed in sweet thoughts with a spatula and couldn't hear the cries of the cats in the living room...
