I am a cat in the palace

After the heavy snow that night, it was sunny for several days, and the roads everywhere have been cleaned and dried, making it much easier to walk.I jogged all the way, and ran to Yingyue Lake again. That night, Daiyue Forest was like a thorn in my heart, which made me feel uneasy.Because the corpses in Daiyuelin had something more wrong besides the blood being drained, but I didn't tell Ugly Nose Lao Liu that although he was one of the few cats with a brain, but about Daiyuelin I can only deal with it myself.

Yingyue Lake is as flat as a mirror, and it is frozen with a thick layer of ice. I wanted to take a shortcut from the lake and run to Waiting for the Moon Forest, but the soles of my feet kept slipping, and I rolled all the way out a long way.

Sitting on the edge of the waiting moon forest, I licked my messy hair vigorously, but my eyes couldn't help looking into the depths of the forest.It was still deathly silent, and even the birds that occasionally flew over the forest closed their mouths tightly, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

I tightened my breathing, opened my pupils slightly, and gently lifted my feet and walked towards the forest.On the way to inspect the past, I found that the corpses were buried sloppily but very regularly. According to my superficial judgment, the earliest corpses should have been buried last year. Some dry hair and bones.From those scars, it can be seen that most of the corpses are small living things that are common in the palace. At first, there were mostly birds, chickens, ducklings and other birds, and then some mice gradually appeared in the bones. Dogs, rabbits, cats and other beasts, there are not many dogs, even if there are, they are all puppies, not big in size.The deeper you go in the forest, the more bones are buried in each batch.I stopped by the freshest batch of bones, those bones were only buried a few days ago, the one that Lao Liu saw.Due to the cold weather, although it had been three days, the body was only frozen hard, but it did not rot.

There are a total of 25 corpse pits. According to the speed of corpse decay, I speculate that the number of corpse pits should correspond to the time for burying the corpses. Once a month, the person who did this may have been going on for two years and one month.

When I came with Lao Liu, the sky was too dark. Even I couldn't see the details of the corpse clearly. This time, I will check it carefully.I carefully planed away the floating soil mixed with slush and dead leaves, a faint fishy smell rushed into my nose, and I couldn't help but tilt my head.But the miserable and messy corpses in the pit made me have to devote all my attention to it.There were a total of eight dead bodies in the pit, half of which were cats, two dead chickens, and two dead rabbits.I pulled out a dead chicken's body and looked at it. The smell of blood on the body was very faint. A deep knife cut across the neck of the chicken showed that the blood had been drained.I picked up the other corpses, and almost all of them were stabbed deeply in the neck. Only——my eyes were attracted by a cat corpse buried in the deepest part of the pit. There was no knife wound on the neck of that cat.

I immediately turned the cat corpse upside down, it was a kitten, probably less than a year old, the skeleton hadn't fully grown, the body was shriveled and the blood was also drained, but the wound——

I pulled back the kitten's hair, revealing a dark purple and black tooth mark around his neck, which is - human teeth!The blood on the kitten was directly sucked dry by someone biting its throat.I let out a breath slowly, sucking blood——soul devourer!Sure enough.However, I stared at the tooth marks and frowned. Why—the tooth marks look a little small?

Could it be—a child?

In the north of Yingyue Pool, on the lakeside facing Daiyue Forest, there is a lonely palace. It is said to be lonely, but its area is not small. There are two main halls and four side halls. Concubine is more than enough.But since the last owner hanged on the main beam of the main hall 20 years ago, the palace has been abandoned, and no one is willing to live in it. There have been rumors in the palace that the palace is haunted.

Sliding one step at a time, two steps at a time rolling across Yingyue Pond, I stepped into the palace now named Jinglan Garden with my messy hair.

I can't remember how many times the name of this palace has been changed, but the palace has been repaired and repaired over the years, and the general layout has not changed much.The outside of the palace looks tidy and not too dilapidated. That's because the empress is the most impatient of decay. Every two or three years, she will order people to renovate and paint all the rooms in the palace. After several renovations, the palace, which had been vacant for 20 years, was miraculously preserved.And because it is relatively close to Zining Palace, it was even refurbished quite luxuriously.But actually?In my eyes, this palace, which seems to be in good condition on the outside, is a dilapidated house that is about to rot, especially the main hall. It has never been replaced since it was built, and the gloomy air on it will condense into cloudy water and drip down.

call--

Suddenly a swirling cold wind rolled over the hair on the back of my neck, and I raised my paw and scratched my neck.

call--

Another gust of cold wind swept over the tip of my tail, and I flicked my tail a little unhappy.

call--

Another gust of cold wind came, and I wanted to touch my ears, so I let out a low growl, and swept my paw towards the place where the cold wind came from.

"Oh! I hate it! You have scratched my skirt!" The mist-like flying yarn fell in front of my eyes, and under the layered flying yarn was a bright apricot-yellow skirt, but a corner of the skirt had been caught by me. The claws tore a hole, and the scratched flying yarn fell into the cold wind together.

"You deserve it! You didn't go up or down, but you actually wanted to touch my head. I pity you for not scratching your face." With a cold snort, I jumped onto the temple beam and looked down at her.

"Who wants you to be pitiful! Dead cat!" The female ghost is extremely beautiful, and the makeup on her face is so delicate that even a single eyebrow is not messy. It's a pity that I have seen her real body when she turned into a hanged ghost. Well, no matter how shockingly beautiful she is right now, I still can't see how beautiful she is.

The female ghost stared at me but didn't dare to fly up to me to argue with me at close range. She could only let me look down at her from a high position. Who told me to stand on the wooden beam where she hanged herself? As a ghost, she couldn't get close.

"Your Majesty? You are so busy this year, why do you have time to visit the palace? My concubine greets Your Majesty, and my Majesty is blessed." Hearing this grinning voice, I couldn't help but feel the hair on my back a little itchy, and I wanted to explode fry.

"Excuse me, excuse me, how is Imperial Concubine Jin in good health recently?" I replied to her with a dry smile, but after I finished speaking, I felt that I had said nonsense, it was all ghosts, where did I get my body?

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, Concubine Jin started giggling, her flowers trembling from her laughter, and the bright red skirt fluctuated in the air like water ripples, I couldn't help but wonder if she would smile Then she broke her small waist with laughter.

"Your Majesty really knows how to joke more and more. The concubine is in good health and hasn't been exposed to the cold for a long time." After finishing speaking, the ghost woman giggled again, laughing so hard that I wanted to throw my tail at her face.

"However, having said that, Your Majesty, haven't you been taking care of the third prince in Yongshan Palace? Why did you suddenly come to our Jinglan Garden when you have time? It seems that the New Year is coming, so you want to be a concubine?" Concubine Jin Stretching out a finger stained with bright red Dan Kou, caressing her cherry lips and winking at me, the coquettish appearance made my eyes almost go blind.

"Yes, I miss you very much, and I want to see when you will be taken in by the Taoist priests of Changyun Temple!" I glanced at her coldly, and patted her winking eyes thousands of miles away with my paw went.

Concubine Jin's delicate mouth immediately shrunk, and the eye sockets were full of tears, and she looked at me with extreme resentment, as if I had really done something unkind to her.

This time I really couldn't hold back the itchy hair on my back, it exploded!

"Okay, okay, let me calm down, and be careful if I really kill you with a claw, where is the concubine Yuan? Is she not there?" As I asked, I looked at the apse, and suddenly a cold wind hit, and a gust of wind The stench came up with the wind, and it hit my nose, and almost smoked me off the beam. I was a little angry, and I couldn't help shouting at the two ghost girls: "What does this smell like? I'm about to be killed by you!" The smell in the palace is suffocating, so you don’t know how to clean it? You are still women, how can you stay here?”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the faces of the two ghost girls change twice.

"Your Majesty's nose is really effective." Suddenly a gentle voice came from the direction of my tail, I turned my head to look over, and saw a middle-aged woman in purple at the door of the inner hall, who was exactly what I was looking for - Concubine Yuan .

"Sister Yuan." The two ghost girls who appeared earlier immediately fell to the ground, and they both wished the lady in purple a blessing.

"Sister Lie, Sister Jin." The middle-aged woman in purple returned a dignified and elegant salute to the two, then turned her gaze to me, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

I nodded at her, but felt something was wrong when I looked at her, "Why do you look so ugly?" I jumped off the roof beam and walked towards her, but she suddenly floated back when I was about to approach her, At the same time, I smelled the stench that rushed into my nose again, "What's the smell on you?"

"The concubine was injured, and the wound has been getting worse." Concubine Yuan said lightly, as if talking about other people's affairs.
