After I died, I became a cat

============================

"How did you become like this?!"

Chen Erhuang called.

"... what became what?" Victor Punk said.

"Scared, kitty." Elena said kindly.

Chen Erhuang opened his mouth wide, exposing two pairs of small and sharp canine teeth in shock.Opposite him, Victor Punk, just like the young and handsome Victor Punk in the information given by PU at the beginning, all the weird lines on the skin have disappeared, most of the injuries have healed, holding a piece of water-stained With a towel, he was carefully wiping the dried blood off his face.

The skin on his cheeks is smooth and soft, and his healthy wheat color is full of sunshine. If you don't look at his clothes, he looks like a college boy who likes sports.

Chen Erhuang, who felt a little dazed, turned to look at Elena.

Elena Shelley also changed drastically. It was clear that before Chen Erhuang left, she was a young woman in her twenties, but after he came back, she turned into an old lady who was at least 70 years old.Her hair was long and pale, and it became disheveled due to running around in the investigation, but she gracefully and slowly removed the hair tie, and was combing it meticulously, and the delicate bud-shaped bun was about to take shape.

After her long hair was rolled up, she revealed her deeply wrinkled forehead, and her kind, but weather-beaten and suffering face.If it weren't for the fact that the facial features haven't changed much, even Chen Erhuang wouldn't be able to recognize this cool old woman as Yi Lianna.

Elena Xuelian was originally wearing a short-sleeved long dress with a weird style, and black gauze gloves on her hands.This short-sleeved long dress was not close to the body, and even looked rather bulky. Chen Erhuang thought it was strange at first, but now that he transformed, this short-sleeved long dress suddenly became very suitable.

The little black cat looked at Victor Punk on the left, Elena Shelley on the right, and finally turned to look at Hu Bugui, asking, "What's going on with these two?!"

"Why ask Mr. Hu?" The young Victor Punk asked strangely.

"Hahahaha, so cute." Grandma Yi Lianna looked at Chen Erhuang with a smile.

"I just found out," Hu Bugui, who had been staying here, explained to Chen Erhuang helplessly, "It turns out that Mr. Punk needed to make a disguise for his last investigation mission, so he borrowed 50 years of time from Ms. Elena and used it on himself. .”

Victor Punk's last solo investigation mission, the one that got him caught by Containment, required him to infiltrate him disguised as an ordinary carbon-based Homo sapiens elderly male.Victor Punk, as a cosmic man, is of course not included in the category of carbon-based homo sapiens. There are some mysterious props in PU that can disguise him as a carbon-based homo sapiens, but this disguise is likely to be discovered by the locals. .

So Victor Punk decided to disguise himself.

In order to pretend to be a real carbon-based Homo sapiens old man, he specially made friends with the age-old "Gate of Silence" Elena Shelley, and borrowed her old age.

As the "gate of silence" that can invalidate the mystery, although the 76-year-old Irina is a legendary investigator, she can't use the mystery to delay her aging and increase her lifespan.Returning to youth was also a novel experience for her, so she readily agreed.

As a result, within a few days of experience, she learned that Victor Punk seemed to be her age, gone forever.

Ordinary women might be very happy when they learn about this kind of thing, but Ms. Irina, even if she becomes an old woman, will not take the usual path. Instead, she will come to participate in the rescue investigation angrily, and she must take back her 50-year age .

"...Then it became like what we met." Hu Bugui said.

"From grandpa and granddaughter to grandma's grandson?" Chen Erhuang complained with a stomachache.

"Hahahaha," Grandma Elena laughed again, "My personality was very troublesome when I was young, I really thank you."

...Since you know that you have a bad personality when you are young, why do you agree to lend your age to others?

Chen Erhuang wanted to complain again.

He and Hu Bugui guessed wrongly that this was a pair of lovers or unrequited love, so it turned out that they had made a mistake from the very beginning!

"Hahahahahaha..." Grandma Yi Lianna only smiled happily.

Compared with Elena, Victor Punk's personality hasn't changed much. The Zouni people are a long-lived race. It seems that 50 years can't really change them.

Victor Punk is gradually shedding his carbon-based Homo sapiens disguise.As the camouflage faded away, the explosive eyeballs of Chen Erhuang, a fake doctor who couldn't be cured, returned to their integrity as if time had flown back.

Flesh grew rapidly like plants in spring, and in just a few seconds, two clear eyeballs reappeared in Victor Punk's eye sockets.

The man blinked, a few tears secreting from the corners of his eyes.

Chen Erhuang and Hu Bugui each heard the sound of dice.

[Sanity check, 1D100=11, extremely difficult to succeed]

[For you who have been at the scene of various bloody crimes, this kind of thing is trivial]

And Hu Bugui's face turned blue for a while, before he said: "Mr. Punk, when you recover in the future, can you find a corner where there is no one and don't let your teammates see..."

Hu Bugui had failed the sanity check before, and lost several sanity points, and he almost failed again just now, so scared that he forgot to breathe.

Seeing his performance, Chen Erhuang thought of something, and quickly turned to look for Ye Weidan.

Victor Punk promised to Hu Bugui that he would be good, and when he caught a glimpse of Chen Erhuang's movements, he subconsciously followed his gaze.

He saw Ye Weidan.

Seemingly surprised by Ye Weidan's presence here, the man was startled for a moment, then smiled and walked forward.

"I didn't expect you to come over this time to trouble me, Mr. Yan, I...huh?"

Ye Weidan heard someone talking to him and looked up.Victor Punk looked at him and stopped walking.

"Oh," he said, rubbing the back of his head, "I'm sorry, this one, it seems that I recognized the wrong person?"

"What?" Ye Weidan, who had been in a daze just now, didn't react.

"Should we go back?" Victor Punk had already turned around and asked Elena.

"Well, haha, it's time to go back," Grandma Elena stood up, "I have old arms and legs, and I feel like I can't move after running so far today."

Victor Punk walked over and helped her up.

Hu Bugui confirmed the return journey to the system, and the incident of admitting the wrong person just now was ignored indifferently.

Except for Chen Erhuang.

In the few seconds when they changed the subject, Victor Punk's expression changed, like a camera picture, playing in his mind frame by frame.

The little black cat was silent for a moment, and with a successful jump test, it jumped onto Ye Weidan's shoulder.

"I have something to tell you when I get back." He lowered his voice and whispered in Ye Weidan's ear.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Ye Weidan also lowered his voice and asked.

"It's important."

Chen Erhuang said.

Ye Weidan still wanted to ask, but his body had already turned into a white light.

In the deserted ruins, four white lights flashed suddenly and disappeared from this world.

***

Three months later.

The ruins of Guangming Mountain have not changed, but new towns have been built.

If you want to say that this world has any advantages compared with the non-mysterious world, then the construction speed must be one.Building a house while singing a song is probably hard for people on earth to imagine.

But houses are easy to rebuild, but people cannot be resurrected.

Master Wilmot stood in front of the newly completed monument, silent in the wind.

This monument is actually a group of statues. Of course, the statues are also sung, and they are formed so fast that Master Wilmot sometimes feels that this speed is too fast, not as heavy as the statues hammered by craftsmen. .

The characters in the statue are the dozens of musicians who died in the Silent Detention Center three months ago.

Master Wilmot saw that the statue of Mullen was standing in the front row of all the statues, but the expression on the statue's face was not the frivolous smile he was familiar with. The lifelike expression was too solemn, not at all like Mullen himself. So much so that it took Master Wilmot a long time to realize that the statue standing in the front was originally the one based on Mullen.

The same goes for statues of other people besides Mullen's.

Master Wilmot is a very old man. He has been famous for a long time, so that these musicians locked in the silent detention center are either his teacher or his classmates and friends, or his students or his classmates and friends. student.He knew everyone described by the statues, but every statue made him feel strange.

... The strangeness is only because he should have gone to the Silent Detention Center a long time ago to accompany them.

Master Wilmot thought.

"But I still have a lot of songs to write, so please, let me live a little longer."

Master Wilmot said to himself.

"When I finish writing, I will come to you... Is it too greedy to say so?"

The old man smiled wryly as he said so.

A young female teacher, leading a group of elementary education students in uniform, came to this new monument.Master Wilmot took a few steps back to make way for the group of children. He heard the female teacher's clear and clear voice asking the students to line up and take out their instruments, chirping together and starting to play.

The children sang "Son of Rebellion" in a frenzy.

For this group of kids, though, the lyrics to "Sons of Rebellion" are a little hard to understand.

Why do you say that you are a waste and a bad person? It's really not cool at all.

So, the first child went out of tune to other songs, and many children went out of tune together, and everyone sang their own songs.

When listening to the children singing "Son of Rebellion", Master Wilmot still had a serious face that could scare the children to tears, but after hearing these children go out of tune, he slowly smiled.

Three months ago, singing "Mountain of Light" was out of tune. For the students, it would be a serious demerit.

Master Wilmot's eyes fell on the base of the monument statue.

A line of writing is engraved on the base.

—Never forget tonight.

"Don't you ever forget... Huh? I don't think you've heard this song before?" The old man's eyes fell back on the group of children, and he listened to another unfamiliar song from the children.

"It seems that I don't need to arrange the music."

He said to himself again, "I really am a waste."

Master Wilmot, who said so, has a straighter figure.

The old man turned and left the monument square.

Behind him, a child saw at the edge of the group of statues, a statue carved of an impatient teenager.

The child stared at the statue carefully for a long time, and suddenly happily pointed at the top of the boy's head.

"Teacher!" she shouted, "It's a kitten!"
