Chapter 190. Cat Demon
Arc 7 : Last Nightmare
TN-: 3 Chapters today.
Du Yan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had just transformed from a cat into a human form, so it was natural that he was not wearing any clothes.
He did not panic but looked over calmly and asked: “Do you know who I am?”
Du Yan always felt that He Jin’s current state was a little abnormal. After meeting again after a long separation, according to He Jin’s obsession, the other party should not react like this.
He Jin just showed a confused expression and replied: “I know, you are my Jiujiu, Jiujiu without blood relationship, Xie Yan.”
Du Yan nodded and said: “Good.”
Then he turned around and prepared to go to He Jin’s closet to find some clothes to put on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Du Yan turned around, he suddenly felt a sensation like an electric shock, a strong current running from bits of the tail vertebrae straight to the top of his head.
At the same time, He Jin’s puzzled voice rang out: “Jiujiu, why do you have a tail?”
Du Yan froze in place. He looked back and was surprised to find that there was a white and soft tail at the position of his vertebrae.
The tip of the white tail was held in He Jin’s hand, and the electric shock feeling just now must have come from that.
He Jin seemed to think the tail felt good, and he was still not fully awake. When he saw Du Yan turned around, he not only did not let go but squeezed the base of the tail in his hand harder.
It was that strong electric current again.
Du Yan only felt a tingling sensation extending from his tailbone to the top of his head, and he felt something was wrong.
He was completely unable to control his body’s instincts. His nails suddenly grew longer and became as sharp as a cat’s. Then, he scratched the back of He Jin’s hand with one claw.
He Jin screamed and retracted his hand. He raised his head and asked with some grievance: “Jiujiu, why did you scratch me?”
Du Yan turned around and looked at He Jin for a while, and finally confirmed that the man in front of him is still drunk and has not woken up at all, and his IQ is showing signs of degradation.
Simply put, the person now is not so much the adult He Jin, but rather the impulsive and somewhat foolish He Jin who was only sixteen years old when they first met.
Du Yan ignored him and walked to the closet, picking up a shirt and putting it on.
During the whole process, He Jin just stared at Du Yan stupidly. Even though the light in the room was dim and he couldn’t see clearly, he showed no signs of moving his sights away.
Du Yan didn’t care and started buttoning his shirt from top to bottom, his movements were neither fast nor slow, as if he was not being stared at so closely. However, when he was putting on his pants, he encountered a little trouble.
Du Yan looked at himself in the dressing mirror and fell into silence.
Yes, he turned into a human form, but this human form is not yet complete.
Du Yan in the mirror had two white ears sticking out from his black hair, which were furry and formed a sharp contrast with his cold face.
This is not an accessory, but Du Yan’s ear. He only needs to think about it, and the ear can turn slightly, which is very flexible.
In addition to the ears that shouldn’t be there, the more troublesome thing is the long cat tail that He Jin just grabbed. As long as the cat tail is there, it seems impossible to wear pants.
Du Yan tried hard to concentrate and tried to transform himself into a completely human form, but his ears and tail remained motionless.
While he was thinking about how to solve the tail problem, He Jin came over and asked: “What’s wrong?”
Du Yan looked at him and said: “I can’t wear pants.”
Du Yan didn’t expect this drunk man, whose IQ had deteriorated, to come up with anything constructive, so he didn’t look at him again after he finished speaking.
He Jin came over as usual and seemed ready to help find something in the closet.
When Du Yan was about to see how he would solve the problem, he felt someone pinch the tip of his ear.
“！”
Although the feeling of having his ears pinched was not as strong as having his tail pinched, it still made Du Yan feel uncomfortable. His body’s instincts overcame his reason again, and a cold light flashed, leaving several bloodstains on He Jin’s arms again.
“So you just came here to pinch my ears?”
Du Yan looked at He Jin coldly as he covered his arm and walked away, without any guilt in his heart.
He Jin said again with grievance: “No, I really have a way.”
“Say.”
He Jin said: “Why don’t you just not wear pants? The shirt is long enough anyway.”
“……”
He Jin is half a head taller than Du Yan, and the hem of his shirt just covers the key part.
However, Du Yan took a look at himself in the mirror, only wearing a shirt, and chose not to pay attention to He Jin anymore. Instead, he took his pants and walked out of the lounge directly.
He Jin stood there stupidly for a moment before his slow brain reacted, and he had to chase after him.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw Du Yan walking in, neatly dressed.
Just like when He Jin first saw him, his shirt was buttoned up to the top button, the hem of his shirt was tucked into his trousers, and there was not a single wrinkle on his clothes.
He Jin just looked at Du Yan like this, with a bit of obsession in his eyes.
His Jiujiu, the moon in the sky, the snow on the mountaintop in his heart, the moonlight that he could never grasp.
It was not until Du Yan’s tail instinctively swayed that He Jin woke up from a dream and said: “Jiujiu, you look so good like this. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen.”
Du Yan glanced at him and guessed that He Jin had probably fallen into the second stage of drunkenness. His IQ had dropped, and he spoke without thinking. He just said whatever he wanted to say.
Sure enough, He Jin continued: “You’re normally very good-looking, and now that you have ears and a tail, I feel like it’s not that hard to approach anymore, and you looks very cute.”
Finally, he asked seriously: “Can I touch your tail?”
“No.”
“What about the ears?”
Du Yan no longer tried to continue the meaningless conversation with the drunkard and stated the facts coldly: “He Jin, you are drunk.”
Hearing this, He Jin came over and looked at Du Yan seriously for a long time, then nodded and said, “Yes, I am drunk.”
He closed his eyes, rubbed his face vigorously, staggered back a few steps, and fell on the bed.
He Jin murmured: “Yes, I am really drunk, and everything in front of me is an illusion.”
“I am not the sixteen-year-old He Jin now. You have disappeared for a long time. How come you suddenly appear in front of me in this state? This is not right, totally wrong. I am really drunk.”
In the third stage, IQ deterioration ends, and confusion of thinking begins.
When Du Yan saw He Jin started talking nonsense, he walked over and touched He Jin’s forehead, and the temperature was normal.
After confirming that He Jin was fine, Du Yan frowned slightly. The strong smell of alcohol on the other person was really unbearable for him.
Although He Jin was a little confused, he was still sensitive to Du Yan’s emotional changes. He said: “Sorry, I’m going to take a shower.”
Du Yan nodded and watched He Jin go into the bathroom.
After hearing the sound of water inside, Du Yan didn’t know why, but a strong panic suddenly surged in his heart, and he totally felt that He Jin would drown in the bathroom.
This strong feeling even made him a little restless, and he just wanted to rush into the bathroom to check on He Jin’s safety.
Du Yan finally couldn’t help but ask Xiao Ba: “Take a look at what happened after the setting of this world changed? Will there be any special characteristics of being a demon?”
Xiao Ba replied quickly, even with a smile in his voice: “This is really not the setting of a demon. In fact, even if you become a human now, you are still affected by some characteristics of cats.”
“The characteristics of cats?” Du Yan, who had never raised a cat, did not understand the mystery.
Xiao Ba explained: “Cats are very afraid of water. It is said that when many people are bathing, their cats will try to get into the bathroom to watch. In fact, they are afraid that their owners will drown in the bathroom so they can help them in time.”
Du Yan’s ears moved, and his expression looked a little unhappy. However, biological instincts eventually overcame human rationality, and he stood up, walked toward the bathroom, and pushed the door open.
The bathroom was quite foggy, and He Jin’s figure was only vaguely visible behind the glass partition door.
He Jin didn’t notice Du Yan’s arrival at all, which was normal. After all, cats never make any noise when they move.
Du Yan just leaned against the door, watching the people inside taking a shower. Only in this way could he calm down the uneasiness in his heart.
He Jin walked out with a bath towel wrapped around his waist. When he saw the person standing at the door, he was stunned even though his mind was not clear.
“Jiu, Jiujiu?”
He Jin’s confused mind was completely unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes. The person who was always so high and mighty and didn’t care about him at all was actually standing at the bathroom door watching him take a shower?
Even in his dreams, He Jin had never imagined such a scene.
Perhaps because He Jin’s expression was too strange, Du Yan chose to explain: “I was afraid you would drown in there.”
He Jin was stunned, then he smiled and said: “The hallucination after getting drunk is so beautiful. If I could see you like this every time I get drunk, I’m afraid I would immerse myself in alcohol…”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild.” Du Yan frowned slightly, not agreeing with He Jin’s attitude.
He Jin still smiled and said: “Drunk people are supposed to have wild thoughts and even do whatever they want. Since it’s an illusion, I should do something even more extreme.”
Before Du Yan could react, the person in front of him sealed his lips, and then he was swept into the storm. It was not until the chaos moved into the room and he was pressed onto the soft bed that Du Yan regained some rationality.
He raised his hand to push the person on him, but the hand behind him, which was folded around his waist, grabbed the base of his tail.
Du Yan only felt his tailbone go numb, and his waist completely lost strength, leaving him no longer able to resist.
He looked at the ceiling and saw a chaotic and decadent color in front of his eyes, and a sweet and numb feeling lingered in his body.
Damn cat’s physical instincts!
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Du Yan felt his body sink, and then he saw He Jin fall headfirst, followed by even breathing sounds.
He Jin is in the fourth stage of drunkenness and falls into a deep sleep.
Du Yan stayed there quietly for a long while, and only after the heat in his body subsided did he push He Jin away. He was about to leave when he felt his tailbone tighten.
Du Yan looked down and found that his tail was still tightly held in He Jin’s hand.
“……”
Cats’ tails are really too sensitive. Du Yan frowned and tried to pull the tail back.
As soon as he moved slightly, He Jin’s hand squeezed even tighter, and the tingling sensation immediately made Du Yan dare not act rashly again.
The situation was a bit awkward. He Jin was sleeping soundly, but Du Yan was stiff because his tail was held in someone’s hand. If he was in cat form, his fur would have exploded by now.
Du Yan’s claws were ready to move again, but fortunately, human rationality prevailed at this time.
He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, then leaned over and whispered: “He Jin, it hurts when you hold my tail like this.”
He Jin’s eyebrows moved slightly, and he seemed to be struggling.
Du Yan recalled the way they had interacted after the other person got drunk, so he continued to persuade him: “I will sleep with you and hold your hand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jin loosened his hand and began to grope around.
Du Yan put his hand into He Jin’s palm, and then he continued to fall asleep.
Seeing that the other party had fallen asleep peacefully, Du Yan tapped He Jin’s forehead and tried to enter the next level of dream.
After a while, everything was back to normal.
Du Yan asked: “Xiao Ba, why can’t I go to the next level?”
“Wait, I’ll go and ask for advice.”
After a few minutes, Xiao Ba’s answer came.
“It’s very simple. He Jin just thought it was a drunken dream and didn’t open up to you as a cat now. So keep trying~”
“Continue to do it?”
Du Yan only felt his temples throbbing violently. Cats’ physical instincts are too strong. He did not like the feeling of instinct overriding reason.
This made Du Yan a little anxious, and he was eager to get rid of this strange body in front of him.
Xiao Ba also heard Du Yan’s displeasure and quickly explained: “That was the answer I copied verbatim. It was not what I meant.”
Du Yan rubbed his brows and calmed down. He knew that being anxious or unhappy now would not help solve the problem. Fortunately, he had already turned back into human form. He only needed to wait until He Jin woke up, and everything would be solved smoothly.
However, just as the sky was getting light and He Jin was about to wake up and let go, Du Yan’s body was covered with white light, and then he felt his body lighten, and when he lowered his head again, he saw the familiar white fur again.
Du Yan emerged from his clothes, squatted beside the pillow, and looked at He Jin with his eyes open.
“Uhh——”
The hangover made He Jin’s head ache as if it was about to explode. He wiped his face and finally recovered. He pressed the electric curtains and let the morning sun drive away the confusion in the room.
The amber pupils were right in front of him. He Jin raised his hand, touched the white cat in front of him, and smiled bitterly: “It turns out it’s you, it’s your eyes are looking at me.”
He stared out the window for a long while, then said: “Thank you for letting me dream about him.”
Du Yan was silent and roughly guessed the situation in front of him.
The sober He Jin did not believe in the legends about cat demons, so after he sobered up, everything returned to normal.
