Mrs. Shimada rolled her eyes and her face turned blue as she was pinched.

"Ma'am!" The woman named Tanaka hurriedly ran over and grabbed the man's arm to pull the man away.

Mrs. Shimada waved her hands and feet, but could not break free of the man's hand, and the struggle gradually weakened.

At this time, more people ran out of the hotel and pulled the couple apart completely.

Mrs. Shimada coughed several times and fell to the ground panting. The man was also out of breath, glaring at Mrs. Shimada as if he was about to kill.

The black-and-white cat watched the scene silently. It was not joyful, nor was it saddened. Just a bystander.

The scene changed in the dream, and I followed the cat on the roof of the hotel, basking in the moonlight. The next second, the sun bathed in the body.

I heard an argument in the hotel downstairs. The cat didn't care, and I sank through the roof and into the hotel.

Mrs. Shimada was arguing with her husband again. This time it was her one-sided invective. The man was full of alcohol, holding the bottle, and did not look at Mrs. Shimada at all, completely ignoring her.

Mrs. Shimada scolded for a while and left in a huff.

I perceived the cat's field of vision.

In the cat's field of vision, Mrs. Shimada called out to the Tanaka and left through the back door of the hotel.

The cat didn't follow, yawned, rolled over, and went back to sleep.

I flew over the hotel and looked out over the mountain path. The branches of the trees blocked my view, but from time to time, I could see Mrs. Shimada and Tanaka. The two of them really went to the shrine.

The cat's ears moved, and the figure suddenly disappeared from the roof.

The surrounding scenery changed, and I landed on the roof of the shrine with the cat.

The mound next to the shrine has been excavated. Tanaka stood tremblingly in front of the shrine and persuaded Mrs. Shimada bitterly.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Shimada shouted angrily, "I'm not going to let him get better!" It's all that bastard, that bastard...... Otherwise, my brother, my father, my mother...... The brute ......" Mrs. Shimada gritted her teeth and turned her head back into the shrine.

When I entered the shrine, I saw Mrs. Shimada working with her hands on the beams of the shrine. At her feet lay a rotting cat corpse.

Mrs. Shimada tied the rope to the beam, pinched the cat's carcass with two fingers in disgust, and hung it on the rope.

"Meow—" came the cat's mournful meow overhead.

Mrs. Shimada was startled, looked up, and ran out of the shrine.

"Ma'am, let's go quickly! Let's go! Tanaka shouted anxiously.

"Meow—" The black-and-white cat blew up, arched up, and grinned at Mrs. Shimada.

Mrs. Shimada couldn't see the cat, but when she heard the cat barking, she held hands with Tanaka in a panic and walked away from the shrine quickly.

The cat appeared inside the shrine, looked up at its body, and as soon as it turned its head, it appeared in the inn.

It waited for Mrs. Shimada to come back and let out a terrible cat meow again.

At night, wild cats in the mountains are also attracted to it.

The man was delirious, muttered something, staggered outside, and fell asleep in the hallway outside.

Mrs. Shimada held her head and couldn't stop the cat's meow.

The black and white cat was crouching in the corner of her house.

The time of the dream jumped again.

The man slapped Mrs. Shimada in the face and pulled her out. Tanaka hugged Hikaru Shimada and cried to persuade the couple.

They were noisy and noisy, all the way into the mountains to the shrine.

The man pointed to the cat's corpse and slapped Mrs. Shimada again.

He forced Mrs. Shimada to kowtow to the cat, put the cat down, and bury it properly.

The two fought.

Mrs. Shimada was knocked to the ground, bitten down on the man's calf, and bit off a piece of meat from it. She pushed the man away and ran back.

The man's face was very unsightly, like the kind of person who had been hollowed out of his body, and his qi was weak and his blood was weak. He fell to the ground, unable to get up, and cried bitterly.

The cat didn't blink its eyes, just looked at the man's embarrassed appearance.

The man put the cat's body down and reburied it.

At this time, the sound of water came from behind the shrine.

The cat stood up suddenly.

I felt the yin energy, a strange and familiar yin energy.

When—

The sound of a startled deer reached the man's ears, with a lingering meaning that touched people's heartstrings.

The man was stunned for a moment, got up from the ground, and walked to the grove behind the shrine.

The cat hesitated a little, but still followed.

After a short walk, the sound of the startled deer became clearer.

The pool rattled as if something was swimming in the water.

The man walked to the edge of the waterhole and leaned over to take a look.

The cat and I both leaned in.

The water is clear, but it is so deep that you can't see it to the end.

The shadows in the water are flowing, and there is indeed something underwater.

Crash...... Crash......

The shadows in the water were changing, and something was about to surface.

I held my breath and finally saw what the thing looked like.

It was a human face, only the skin, nothing else.

It's those female ghosts!

However, their yin qi is slightly different.

Before I could see clearly, I heard the man blurt out a name.

"Miss Sayuri!"

Crash.

The human skin in the water is gone.

The man reached out and wanted to grasp something. His hand reached into the water, and he was immediately grabbed by a hand, and the whole person fell into the pool.

Whoa!

"Miss Sayuri! Sayuri! "The man was flopping in the water.

He dived into the water, and the surface of the water calmed down all at once.

The cat took a step back and stared warily at the waterhole.

After waiting for a while, I couldn't help but burrow into the pool as well.

I saw the man in the water, in a trance, with an expression of indulging in a beautiful dream. Suddenly, he didn't know whether he saw or remembered something, his eyes widened all of a sudden, and bubbles came out of his mouth. He struggled and swam towards the water.

I saw a hand reaching out from under the water and grabbing his foot.

The man struggled desperately, his head burst out of the water, and he grabbed the rocks by the waterhole with both hands and climbed onto the shore. He crawled on the ground, kicked the turf bald.

The man glanced back at the waterhole, and it looked like he was looking at some kind of monster.

He got up from the ground and ran without looking back.

I saw the yin energy wafting through the air. The female ghosts had already haunted the man.

The dream changed again.

Mrs. Shimada led the people to the shrine. Among the group, there was a monk wearing a robe and holding a Zen staff.

The cat was lying on the roof of the shrine, but it just lifted its eyelids slightly and glanced at it.

The monk's gaze turned over, his face was serious, and he slammed the Zen staff in his hand. The gold ring on the Zen staff makes the sound of a jingling bell.

I just felt like I had been pricked by needles all over my body, and the stinging pain was unbearable.

The cat jumped up and ran away from the shrine.

When it gets dark and the cat emerges from the woods, he sees the empty shrine. The Buddha statue in the shrine has been removed. The cat's grave next to the shrine is also gone.

The cat barked twice, a little agitated. It circled around the shrine, sniffing the dirt in the air, spreading its legs and running towards the inn.
