Warm heart

"Why don't you care?" After walking away from Hemei, the cat said indifferently.

"What do you care about?"

"She took your identity, didn't she?"

"Heh..." As if hearing something funny, Kazumi whispered, "Anyone can be Yukimura Kazumi, but I only have one." The light voice and casual attitude showed an absolute confidence.

The cat hooked the corners of its mouth funnyly, as if in admiration or irony.

After a while, he said again: "What do you think of the strange energy fluctuations in that woman's soul?"

"...she has nothing to do with me."

"At present, she is the person closest to your family, are you not afraid?"

"spot……"

"Ok?"

"Jingshi is no longer a child."

But he's still young, and why didn't you mention your parents?

The cat squinted its eyes, thinking so in its heart, but looking up at Hemei's calm and cold face, it suddenly found that it couldn't speak, and always felt that if it spoke, something it didn't want to see would happen.

Without asking or thinking about why the cat suddenly stopped for a hundred thousand reasons, Hemei caressed the cat's soft body time after time as if nothing had happened.

Soon, one person and one monster returned to the place where they stayed before and sat down.

Kazumi put the cat on the ground beside her, and suddenly lay back and closed her eyes.

Whether it's what she experienced personally or what happened to people around her, she has seen too much sadness.

Caring about this kind of emotion, she has long since lost her energy.

Ten years ago, at the age of five, she was suddenly pushed to the experimental stage because of her words, because she could see things that others could not see, and could even influence others to see.

For a week, she experienced things she couldn't even dream of.

For a week, the cold texture, bone-piercing pain, and seemingly endless confinement were firmly engraved on her soul, and it became a nightmare that she would never get rid of.

A week later, Alice's supervisor found her and took her away to free her from the nightmare.

When she first entered Alice, she couldn't stay there with peace of mind, like a frightened bird, the slightest disturbance could make her scream uncontrollably.

She wants to go home.

A month later, she racked her brains and exhausted all her strength to get out of Alice and stumbled home.

What did she see?

Her mother, her cunt, were teasing a little girl with joy and affection, without exception.

With just one glance, she ran away, and then met her redemption...

Hemei turned over, and pressed those suddenly surging memories back to the depths of her mind, feeling the slight itchiness of the breeze blowing across her face, and slowly sinking her consciousness into the darkness.

The cat opened its eyes and quietly looked at the sleeping girl.

A sigh of unknown meaning sounded, the mist flashed, and the snow-white and luxurious Madara appeared, and the fluffy and soft tail gently rested on Hemei's body, and he also closed his eyes.

Time passed in quietness and warmth, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the time of encountering magic.

Natsume managed to survive the class time, rejected the invitation of Duogui and others to go with him, and ran home quickly, but got the news that Kazumi and the cat were out to play.

After fidgeting and waiting for a long time but no one came back, Natsume said to Aunt Tazi, and then went out to look for her under her ambiguous and teasing eyes with a blushing face.

Natsume intuitively walked to the river, and walked slowly along the river.

I don't know why, Natsume's heart suddenly settled down, and the scene when he and Kazumi first met appeared in his mind, and a smile of nostalgia and pity appeared on his face unconsciously, which was soft and intoxicating.

It was a very ordinary day. The only thing that could be said to be special was that he and his father had an unexplained quarrel. He ran to the river in a fit of anger, crying and looking towards home, hoping that his father would come to him.

Then, he saw Kazumi curled up silently and fell to the ground.

At first, he was really taken aback. A girl with exquisite appearance stared straight at the sky with her brown eyes, which were as clean as the beautiful glass balls he had played with. Her hair was messy, and the clothes she was wearing seemed to be of good quality, and there were a lot of dust and stains on them, making her look very distressed.

If he hadn't seen the girl's weak and undulating chest, he would have thought it was a rag doll that no one else wanted.

Now he can clearly say that the things in her eyes at that time were called emptiness, bewilderment and despair, but at that time he didn't understand such heavy emotions, he just felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He picked her up, and while her father was home, he bathed her and dressed her in his clothes.

From then on, every time he thinks about what happened that day, he is very glad that he met her.

It's a pity that they only got along for half a month, and during this period, Kazumi didn't say a word.

After his father died, he was taken away by other relatives, and she was taken away by Alice's people.

Five years later, his ability was discovered by Alice's people, and she was among the people who came to him.

Until then, he didn't know her name was Yukimura Kazumi, and she didn't know his name was Natsume Takashi.

An acquaintance, the two of them lasted for five full years.

And that's why he told the people who opposed Haida that this was their acquaintance.

Natsume stopped, and saw a special and conspicuous figure of the cat from a distance.

Smiling slightly, Natsume walked towards them quickly. When he saw the cat's caressing action, Natsume's expression clearly expressed his surprise.

"Cat teacher?"

"Ok?"

The questioning tone, with warning and embarrassment, successfully made Natsume bow his head and hold back a silent laugh.

"Hmm..." With a bang, Kazumi's sleepy voice said, "What happened?"

"It's okay." The girl poked her head out from under her tail, with red cheeks and hazy eyes, Natsume couldn't help rubbing her soft long hair: "It's time for dinner, Aunt Tazi has cooked a lot of delicious food, we Let's go back."

Kazumi blinked, and her eyes regained clarity instantly: "Yes."

Letting go of the tail in her embrace, Kazumi nodded to the cat with a cold face to express her gratitude, then watched it turn into a fat and round lucky cat, and hugged it into her arms again before Natsume reached out.

Looking at this scene, Natsume blinked, and suddenly felt a sense of joy—a beautiful girl with a cold temperament and a funny-looking chubby beckoning cat... Would this combination be so cute!

"Let's go." Shaking his head, Natsume shook off the thoughts in his mind and said to Kazumi.

Nodding his head, Hemei didn't speak, and walked away with the cat in his arms.

Natsume smiled helplessly and dotingly, bent down to pack up the cloth and snacks spread on the floor, and quickly chased after him.

"If you're tired, remember to say so."

"fine."

"……Oh."

After dinner, the two of them gathered in Natsume's room again.

"Did anything happen today?" Natsume asked.

"Hmm..." With a book in her hand, Kazumi replied, "Meet an Alice owner."

"Eh?!" Natsume exclaimed, and then thought of the question: "Then do you want to end your vacation early?"

Kazumi turned her head to look at Natsume and said doubtfully, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Uh... You found him, didn't you?"

"I'm not responsible for their introduction."

"……All right."

Hearing Kazumi's answer, Natsume breathed a sigh of relief. The time he and Kazumi met was really too little, and they finally got to spend two weeks together. He didn't want it to be shortened like this.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, do you want to go out and play?"

"Where to go?"

"Shanli, let me introduce some friends to you."

"……Um."

Kazumi's not-so-excited response couldn't dampen Natsume's enthusiasm. Hearing her affirmative answer, she immediately got up to prepare the needed items.

The cat stopped eating the grilled fish, and whispered to Kazumi, "Aren't you going to tell him about the abnormality of that woman?"

"That has nothing to do with me or him." The hand that turned the pages of the book suddenly stopped, and Hemei continued: "Besides, I don't have much time outside."

"So how do you handle this?"

"Xiaojing and Xiaoguang are very reliable people."

"But they haven't been exposed to such supernatural things, have they?"

"...I will tell Natsume." Kazumi said after a moment of silence.

Maoyan looked at Kazumi with a half-smile, and was about to speak when he heard Natsume's voice: "Tell me what?"

Glancing briefly at the cat, Kazumi put down the book in her hand and said to Natsume, "Please do me a favor."

"what?"

"Today, Madara and I discovered that Yukimura Kazumi's soul was a little abnormal, so..."

"Do you suspect that she is possessed?"

"No, it's not possession, that kind of fluctuation is more like fusion."

"Fusion?"

After thinking about it, Hemei turned her attention to the cat. Although she knew what was going on, she couldn't explain it clearly.

The cat snorted arrogantly and said, "The soul is a very wonderful thing. Many demons can exist in this world in this form after death. If you want to have a body again, there are two ways. One is Practice, materialize the soul, this method produces pure and powerful monsters, but it takes a very long time; another method is to seize the body, find a suitable body, squeeze out its own soul or directly Eliminate, take control of the body, and survive in this way..."

"It only takes a short time to seize the house, but there are many uncertainties and dangers in it. One is that if the opponent's soul power is strong, it cannot be driven out or eliminated, and it may even be trapped forever In that body, and even if they managed to escape, they would suffer a lot of damage, so some monsters would choose to squeeze out the other party's soul if they were not sure about the strength of the other party's soul or if the soul was equivalent to their own..."

"But in this way, there may be a second problem. The expelled soul may dissipate, or it may find other cultivation methods to become stronger and come back to regain the ownership of its own body. This is a dilemma. Therefore, I have to spend a lot of time to reshape the physical body or directly choose the soul flying away..."

"Later, by chance, a demon discovered that human bodies can be easily taken away..."

Natsume, who was listening quietly, couldn't help opening her eyes in shock when she heard this, and gasped.

Kazumi looked at the book he picked up again seriously, indifferently.

The cat glanced at Natsume disdainfully, took a sip of tea, let out a sigh of comfort, and continued, "The human body is easy to be taken away, but the disadvantages are also obvious..."

"Once a demon enters a human body, there are only two possibilities. One is to destroy the human soul, and the other is to fuse with the human soul. No matter which one is, the final outcome is to merge with the human body. Humans have Birth, old age, sickness and death, even if you change a soul, you can't change this law, so in the end, the demon can only die..."

"It's really death! There will be no possibility of seizing the house!"

"However, there are still reports of human beings being possessed?!" Natsume asked.

"Stupid Natsume, possession and seizing are two different things! They are fundamentally different! Possession is just borrowing the body, the soul is still fine!"

"...Oh." The trained Natsume didn't dare to refute, and sat down obediently, expressing that he would listen carefully.

After a while, Natsume still didn't hear the cat's voice, so she turned her head curiously.

I saw the cat had shrunk to the side of the girl's skirt, drinking tea leisurely...
