I'm just a little mouse after all [Comprehensive British and American]

Jerry was woken up by the sound of fierce quarrels. I don't know if this metaphor is appropriate, but Ethan has changed from a bass to a soprano.

He almost screamed at someone to get the hell out.

Jerry squeezed his way through the high door, the lights in the living room and kitchen were all on.

"Ethan, what happened?" Jerry asked loudly while trotting towards the kitchen.

No one answered its question, Jerry ran into the kitchen and saw a strange picture.

Ethan pressed against the wall, Smith pressed against Ethan.

Ethan still held a fruit knife in his hand, but Smith had already held down his wrist with one hand.

The two of them were so close in height that when they squeezed together, their equally tall noses almost collided.Compared with being ambiguous, Jerry prefers to use embarrassment to describe the atmosphere between them.

From Jerry's angle, he could see Ethan's face. His face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and his whole face was full of fear and panic.

He even yelled, "Tom, scratch his face!"

Jerry was sure that Ethan's breath must have hit Smith in the face, and it could be seen from the way Smith tilted his head back to avoid it.

Given that Smith has not shown any substantial harmful actions so far, Jerry's thinking can't help but diverge.

"With all due respect, is he... molesting Ethan?" Jerry climbed onto the dining table and said to Tom who was watching the show with his head tilted: "Aren't you going to help him?"

"Indecent? No, no, GAY doesn't eat everything." Tom stared at the two people in the corner with bright eyes.

"So what's going on?" Jerry observed for a while, and after confirming that Ethan's life was safe, he also sat down.

"Ethan accidentally opened Smith's refrigerator, and there was a can of human fingers in it, and then Smith just came back." Tom said succinctly: "But Smith didn't mean to kill us, at least when Ethan showed the idea of ​​calling the police Before, Smith's attitude was kind."

"Your definition of kindness is really tolerant." Jerry waved to Ethan as a greeting.It went on to ask, "What turned Ethan into a frightened fawn?"

"Although Smith explained that the collections in the refrigerator and the bathroom were obtained legally, who knows why, he explained a lot, and I couldn't understand a word of his speech too fast. But Ethan understood. He originally He just wanted to call the police and send Smith to prison, and after hearing the explanation, he wanted to send Smith directly to a mental hospital." Tom pricked up his ears and said excitedly: "As you can see, Smith is trying to persuade Ethan to give up his idea."

Before Tom finished speaking, Smith, who had been silent all the time, said, "If you don't want more thugs to appear in this country because of your willfulness, you'd better be obedient and obedient in the next period of time. Don't mess with my things, And don't try to send me anywhere."

Ethan took a deep breath, and said softly, "In this case, why would you put those things in the refrigerator and bathtub, especially if you have roommates."

"Otherwise, where do you put it, in your closet or in your coffee machine." Smith snatched the knife from Ethan's hand, took a step back and said, "Your girlfriend is the FBI, and you are an operator. Why do you react like A normal guy. My previous roommate didn't have such a reaction, and he's just a doctor who got hurt."

Jerry looked at a jar of fingers not far away, and it wowed, and praised sincerely: "That doctor is really a warrior."

Smith ignored Ethan, who was overly frightened. He turned and walked to the dining table, picked up Tom who was still watching the show, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and said, "Can you understand our conversation?"

Tom swallowed nervously, thinking of many countermeasures in his mind.Under Smith's slightly crazy eyes, Tom blinked and meowed innocently.

Smith tentatively put it on the dining table, Tom turned twice on the table, raised one leg and began to lick his balls.

"Ugh...you can't find a place where no one is around." Jerry covered his eyes and said in disgust, "I can't stand it anymore."

"Do you think I think so? I'm sure that if I behave a little abnormally, Smith can dismantle me into parts and study it thoroughly." Tom blushed and said aggrievedly: "I advise you to pretend as well." , or Ethan can't save you."

Just as Jerry was about to speak, he felt a gust of hot wind blowing through his body.

It turned its head stiffly, meeting Smith's gray eyes.

"I feel like he noticed me." Jerry said nervously.

Tom was chasing his tail, and he whispered, "Bag-lick, Jerry!"

"Fuck your ball licking, I'm not a cat and I don't always lick that thing!" Jerry stepped back a few steps and said hurriedly: "You can't think of a more reliable way!"

"For example, rear-end chasing like a mentally handicapped, I'm already doing it, you can't repeat it with me." Tom bit his tail and said vaguely: "Ethan Ethan, come and help, a normal mouse should do it at this time." do what."

Ethan stood behind Smith like a well-behaved baby. He looked at Tom in surprise, as if he had heard a very stupid question.

He made a gesture and said silently: "Run, you will be scared away by humans."

Tom blinked, looked at Ethan, who was suspicious, and Jerry, who was still pretending to be stupid, and suddenly felt that knowing too much is not a good thing sometimes.

Following Tom's instructions, Jerry squeaked out and slipped behind the nearest cupboard.

Tom flicked his tail artificially, jumped off the dining table and walked away without looking back.

Ethan and Smith were the only two left in the lively kitchen. Even though he knew that Smith was not a bad guy, facing the weird guy who likes to collect his fingers alone still made Ethan nervous.

He raised his hand and whispered, "Tom and Jerry are my pets, you can't experiment with them."

"Tom and Jerry?" Smith fiddled with a fruit knife, looked at Ethan carefully and said, "Your condition is much more serious than Al thinks, you can no longer distinguish between imagination and reality. You think you can hear pets talking You call your pet cat for help when you are in danger, Tom? But it can’t understand you, so it just sits on the dining table and looks at you.”

Ethan folded his arms and shrugged, "I'm starting to get scared when you say that."

"You should be afraid, after all, you are not far from entering the hospital." Smith took out his mobile phone and started calling Al. He waved a fruit knife at Ethan and whispered: "You heard what they said to you ? You run around with a mouse and a cat, even when confronting the murderer. Let me think, they are your good partners in tracking down the murderer, providing you with clues about the murderer."

Ethan looked at Smith in shock, he opened his mouth and stammered, "How did you..."

"How would I know? Even though the case was solved, you were still trapped that Christmas Eve. You answered the phone and heard the victims cry for help. You desperately wanted to save them, but the reality was that there was nothing you could do. You You can’t accept their death, and you can’t accept your incompetence. Even if no one blames you, your subconscious still thinks that your failure is the result of your cowardly avoidance for a long time.”

"You lost your job, lost your girlfriend, and failed to save the victims. Even you are still regretting some of the mistakes you made in the past, what was it when you were a student?" Smith observed Ethan's expression and said affirmatively : "It seems to be a student period, and that period was mostly bullying. You don't have a character that would hurt others. You watched a bullying and didn't lend a helping hand to the bullied. You feel very guilty about it."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this kind of thing." Ethan stopped loudly.

Tom and Jerry peered cautiously from outside the kitchen, and Smith glanced at them before looking away.

"You chose to be an operator because you wanted to help others but didn't have the guts to stand up to criminals. You were so proud of your job that you thought you'd finally changed, but the Christmas Devil destroyed everything you made it look like. To change it all , you imagined a different cat and mouse, trying to use their help to become a real hero..."

Before he finished speaking, Ethan punched him hard on the nose.

"Now! Shut up, grab your canned fingers and go back to your room!"
