[Shaman King] He has a cat

January 1999, outside Tokyo.

The first day of the psychic war qualifiers was no different for ordinary people.

As night fell, the street lights on the street gradually came on, and the exhaust of the departing cars rolled up, and the roar gradually faded away in the night.

Today is the first day of clerk A working in the convenience store. So far, he has not met tricky customers, and there is no malfunction when using the cash register. Everything is smooth.

There was still half an hour before get off work, and the convenience store was empty. He was about to relax by leaning against the counter when the door jingled, and the automatic door slowly slid open to both sides as the guests arrived.

"Welcome." Clerk A put on a business-like smile.

He was used to being ignored by guests.But this time the guests were a little different.

"Is this a convenience store, my lord?"

The boy wearing pentagram earrings responded with a smile: "You can buy whatever you want, little black carbon."

The two customers who visited the convenience store late at night wore strange cloaks. The long-haired boy looked fourteen or fifteen years old, and the little one next to him looked only three or four years old. At first glance, he looked like a little black sheep with long hair. Curly and fluffy.

The two of them didn't have any clothes to keep out the cold except for the cloak they were wearing in Tokyo in January. The boy patiently accompanied the little one to browse the convenience store. The little customer finally chose an ice cream from the freezer.

"It's 100 yen in total." Clerk A maintained a respectful smile and subconsciously added, "Thank you for your patronage."

The long-haired boy wearing the pentagram earring looked at him, neither taking out his wallet nor intending to pay.

Clerk A's forehead gradually broke out in cold sweat.

"...a total of 100 yen?"

"……yes?"

Clerk A changed his mind at that moment.

The electric bell rang, the automatic door slid open again, and a relieved "Thank you for your patronage!" floated out along with the heater, and the two customers who had not paid left the convenience store. Long squares.

In the suburbs, without the cover of high-rise buildings, the low-hanging night sky seems to be able to touch the weeds on the ground.

There were scattered snowflakes in the sky, and the boy sitting by the embankment rested his chin on the back of his fingers, as if admiring the snow, but he didn't seem to be watching the falling snowflakes, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

"This is Xiao Heitan's first time eating ice cream, right?"

"Yeah." The sensible little Heitan held up the ice cream in his hand, "My lord, do you want to try it?"

"I don't need it." Asakura said gently, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

"That's it."

The snowflakes drifted to the ground silently, Ma Canghao held his chin and smiled: "Will it be so delicious that you cry?"

The distant street lamps illuminate the snow on the side, and there are no cars passing on the road in the middle of the night.

"……Eh?"

"It's nothing." Asakura put his hands down, "I asked a strange question, so you don't have to feel sorry for not being able to answer it."

Little Heitan was happy again.

"Tomorrow is the first qualifier for the good man."

"...Ah, that's right." Asakura stood up from the embankment with his knees propped up.

The pentagram earrings flickered in the streetlights, and he looked at the uninvited guests with a gentle smile on his face: "Before then, it's good to warm up a little bit."

Clerk A, who lived to be 22 years old without incident, has a secret.

He can see things that do not belong to this world. Some people call this ability inspiration. He has escaped disaster many times by relying on this ability. A creepy intuition.

After finally making it to the shift time, he changed his uniform, left the back door of the convenience store, walked not far in the snow, and the moment he raised his head, he saw a demon as tall as a few floors.

Behind the huge fire demon stood a long-haired boy in a cloak. The demon wrapped in flames picked up the struggling figure on the ground, and suddenly opened its slit-like mouth——

Sensing his gaze, the boy turned his head slightly, and seemed to smile in his direction at that moment.

Then, the fiery abyss closed, and the screams stopped abruptly.

……

The rain and snow that fell on the earth ended up going the same way.

The water seeped into the ground and melted into the underground river.Dark rivers resurface, sometimes as lakes, sometimes as spring-fed streams, all of which eventually return to the endless ocean.

The misty world is still at sunrise, the light of dawn reflects on the water, white waterfowl fly out of the reeds, the silent picture spreads like ripples, she waded through the water with bare feet, and walked for a long time in the empty time.

The gentle water soaked through the ankles and slowly trickled down the calves. The reeds on the shore gradually disappeared in the white mist. When submerged in the water, the body did not feel any pain of suffocation.

The long hair was lifted up by the current, she seemed to be sinking, but also seemed to be rising, a faint light slowly emerged from the quiet bottom of the water, she was attracted by that light, and the surrounding water began to rush in the same direction.

White foam came like scattered snow, she subconsciously closed her eyes.

The light at the bottom of the water burst, and the moment she suddenly surfaced, she took a breath.

I saw a white ceiling.

The vision changed from blurred to clear, and the feeling of dizziness gradually dissipated, and she lay motionless for a long time.

There was a continuous sound of cicadas outside, the season seemed to be midsummer, the sun was bright enough to dazzle her eyelids, she couldn't help raising her hand.

The wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"You're finally awake." A relieved voice came from the bedside, she turned her head and saw the familiar but unfamiliar face of her cousin.

"My God, what the hell are you doing, you can faint from heatstroke even if you go to a historical attraction properly." Her cousin picked up her phone and slapped her directly in the face, "Look, you're all asleep It's been a day, and your mother heard that you fainted and couldn't even manage work, so she just bought the plane ticket for the day, and you can explain to her yourself later..."

She stared at the standby screen.

2020年8月7日，下午3点11分。

Shen Du slowly stretched out his hand: "...Isn't this my mobile phone?"

"Otherwise? Your phone is out of battery, and I'll help you recharge it. How old are you, and you don't even pay attention to the battery of your phone before going out. Hey, I said you..."

The rambling voice continued, Shen Du swiped open the screen, as if he was stunned suddenly: "...What is the unlock password for my phone?"

Her cousin suddenly stopped.

"...Do I need to go to the nurse?"

There was a knock on the door.

She raised her head as if feeling something.

Ms. Shen Yan, who was nearly fifty years old, left her job and rushed to the capital. When she came to the hospital, she saw her daughter sitting on the bed in a daze, unable to regain her divine appearance for a long time.

"..."

"……Mother?"

Shen Yan almost forgot that she was here to visit a doctor, and subconsciously replied.

"what happened?"

It was an ordinary conversation, but the person sitting on the hospital bed burst into tears.

"Mother."

Like a child lost in the supermarket, the moment he saw his mother, tears suddenly burst out with unspeakable grievances and fears.

"Mother."

"...What's wrong with you?" Shen Yan hurriedly hugged her daughter, "Are you hungry? If so, would you like me to order you something to eat? What do you want to eat?"

She shook her head, then nodded again.

"I want to eat your cooking."

"..."

His head was suddenly covered.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Yan cursed with a smile, sounding a little happy.

"Hey, just stay here and don't move. I'll see if I can book a homestay and bring you some food. What do you want to eat?"

"soy sauce."

"..."

Her mother and her cousin exchanged glances, and their voices hesitated: "How about...or ask a nurse to take a look?"

The expressions of the two seem to say that she really needs to be pulled to the brain department now, and then have an MRI examination.

"I am fine."

What can she do?She just suddenly returned to modern times from the Heian era more than 1000 years ago.

"I want to eat tomato scrambled eggs, braised eggplant, vinegar potato shreds, garlic fried water spinach, cola chicken wings, mapo tofu, braised pork..."

"Stop," said her cousin, "stop for me."

Shen Du sniffed, hugged her mother's waist and raised his head: "Can't you?"

"……anything else?"

"Also, I want to sleep with my mother tonight."

Then it was unsurprisingly dismissed.

Because she just passed out due to heatstroke, she was sent to the hospital. The doctor gave her a simple examination, and after confirming that she was healthy, she was released from the hospital without hesitation.

The terrible fire, the scars on her body caused by the knocked down beams, all disappeared as if they had happened in a dream, without any trace.

The place where her head was smashed was gone, and the blood on her face was gone. She opened her hand, and her fingers were white and clean. The thin calluses left by holding the knife all the year round seemed to have never existed, and it was so soft that she felt strange to herself.

Her salute and clothes were left in the hotel, Shen Du waved goodbye to the worried two at the entrance of the hospital, and said with a smile that he would meet them at the hotel soon.

As the setting sun passed over the buildings in Kyoto, she gave up taking a taxi and walked along the street.

The green light on the sidewalk, the breeze blowing along the Kamogawa River, people sitting in twos and threes by the river, the sky is on the most beautiful dividing line, and many tourists gathered by the bridge to take pictures with their families and the sky.

The busiest place in Kawaramachi is cars and people coming and going, and the bustling sounds are like the rising tide of sea water packed with foam.

The city of Kyoto does not rely on the sea.

Shen Du returned to the hotel, took out the room card from his backpack, and pressed the floor number.

The room remained the same as it was before she left.

There was a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the doorknob. When the light was turned on, the soft light dispelled the darkness of the room. The half-open suitcase was lying on the ground, which contained the clothes she had brought during this trip, and a stack of thick clothes. Thick reference book.

According to her original plan, during the few days of traveling in Kyoto, she should have taken the time to recite vocabulary.

Now the misplaced world returns to its original appearance, and the stagnant time begins to flow again.

Nothing has changed.

She opened the book, but the progress was still stuck on the first word on the first page.

—Abandon.
