Schrödinger of the Cat [Interstellar]

Chapter 1 Freshmen



Chapter 1 Freshmen

When his consciousness came back, Xue Yi knew that he had a dream.

In that dream there were terrifying flames and thick smoke, every breath was like a steel brush brushing his throat, brushing into his chest cavity, the pain was so real that Xue Yi thought he would die in that nightmare.Even if he couldn't die, for an online singer with disabled legs who can only rely on his voice for food, having his throat hurt by smoke and dust would probably make life worse than death.After all, singing is Xue Yi's only source of income. Although it is not much, it can at least ensure that he and his adopted cats have no worries about food and clothing.

Xue Yi moved his fingertips, and found that his body seemed to be still imprisoned in the dream about the fire, so weak that he couldn't use his strength.He was a little helpless, so he could only continue to lie down and wait for his strength to recover. At the same time, he vaguely recalled the scene in his dream.

At that time, Xue Yi didn't realize that he was dreaming, he just felt that he was going to die, so he stuffed all the kittens he had just picked up to the "General" - it was a strong black cat with shiny fur The water is slippery, like a fine brocade.Even though one ear and one front paw are missing, the general is the king among the dozens of stray cats adopted by Xue Yi. Just like his name, he subdues a group of cats of miscellaneous military officers.

Xue Yi recalled that the general in his dream nimbly walked through the sea of ​​flames, picked up the litter of kittens out of the courtyard wall one by one, and then ran back trying to drag him who fell on the ground into the wheelchair next to him.

The beating firelight rendered the reality into a layer of illusion, and the black cat seemed to be endowed with human nature. When he found that he was powerless, his golden eyes were full of panic.Just before Xue Yi fell into a coma, he seemed to see the general press his forehead against his, and a faint purple light flashed through the slits in his pupils.

Dreams are really illogical. It’s true that cats’ eyes reflect light, but it’s really not purple.Xue Yi smiled helplessly in his heart, wanting to wake up.

It's just, weird.

Xue Yi began to feel a little uneasy: He clearly realized that he had a dream, but why didn't his body wake up?

He vaguely heard cats meowing not far away, and Xue Yi thought that the litter of kittens was probably hungry.

Those kittens were found beside a trash bin, probably abandoned by people. Xue Yi didn't see a mother cat around, and the cats he adopted were all sterilized except the general, and there were no other cats. They can only be used as nurses, so Xue Yi has to nurse them himself for a while.

Xue Yi moved his fingers again, and found that his body was still a little weak. He suspected that he had slept in one position for too long, and his muscles and nerves were a little paralyzed.He gathered his strength towards his fingers, then lifted towards his wrist, and then slowly turned his entire arm—by slowly waking up his body in this way, he finally felt that he was "alive".

However, when Xue Yi struggled to open his eyes with all his willpower, he couldn't understand the scene in front of him for a moment.

A huge orange 丨 cat's face was almost stuck in front of Xue Yi's nose, and he could even see a shallow wrinkle on the cat's pink nose.But what surprised Xue Yi the most was not that a cat was so close to him, but - this cat is too big!If it wasn't for the eye-to-nose ratio, Xue Yi would have almost thought it was a tiger lying beside him!

Xue Yi reflexively wanted to prop up his body, but he didn't want the muscle twitch of his legs to make him suddenly lose his balance and fall to the ground again.

The orange cat seemed to be taken aback, bounced and ran a little farther away, and then swooped back excitedly.But at this moment, Xue Yi was in no mood to think about what was going on with that weird orange cat, because even weirder things made him temporarily lose any ability to think—he looked at his hand stretched in the air, no , cat's claw, no, it should be a hand, but now it is a cat's claw, a bit confused about the current situation.

The strange orange cat seemed to regard Xue Yi as some kind of prey, lying on his body, biting his ears while scratching his ankles with its hind paws.

It took an unknown amount of time before Xue Yi recovered from his daze.

He worked up his courage and felt his body.The bones seemed to be the same as those bones, and the state of the muscles didn't seem to have changed much, but something was added around the ear and behind.He tried to turn the pinna, listening to the changes in the surrounding noises, and then flicked the thing that was probably the tail behind him.

The orange cat was attracted by the swaying tail, turned around and fiddled with its paws.

Xue Yi looked at his cat's claws stretched in the air, hooked his fingertips, and saw those small and sharp nails that he was very familiar with slowly retracted into the flesh pads.

This situation made him have to think of an unbelievable situation - he turned into a kitten?

Is he still dreaming?In fact, he just opened his eyes and didn't wake up, but fell into another dream?Xue Yi felt flustered, so he began to search his memory carefully.

The impression of the fire in his mind gradually became clear, from an illusory dream gradually becoming more solid, and some details that he had ignored began to return to their due color.Such as scorching heat waves, such as frightened cat meowing, such as the tremor of heavy objects falling to the ground...

It turned out that the fire was not a dream, but his trance when he was suffocating and dying.

He probably really didn't escape the fire.Xue Yi thought to himself.So the current situation is time travel?Or has he been reincarnated?Or is the soul attached to the kitten he saved?No matter which one it was, Xue Yi couldn't be sure that the current self was still real. His mind was a little confused, and he couldn't even tell the difference between dreams and reality.

However, Xue Yi is also a person who has experienced some changes. At least for now, he can still keep calm, so that he will not drive himself crazy because of this unscientific situation.His life was turned into a mess because of a car accident. He lost his close relatives and his legs, and he curled up alone in the country house, so that he has been shutting himself out since then, and he has no close friends.All these misfortunes seem to have turned into blessings under the current situation, so his disappearance should not cause trouble to too many people.

It's just that Xue Yi couldn't figure out why he was reborn in a cat's body, he obviously had no obsession with "living".

Xue Yi turned over and stood up, feeling the cool soil under his feet, and slowly tried to move forward.This feeling is a bit strange, he has not straddled his legs for many, many years, and now he is not used to being on all fours.He walked very slowly, and every time he took a step, he had to carefully feel the extremely real touch under the soles of his feet. The thin hairs between his claws could even accurately feed back to him the almost imperceptible vibrations on the ground.

A sense of joy suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart—Xue Yi was very satisfied with this complete and healthy body except that it was not human.

Probably because it was too boring, the little orange cat who had been clinging to Xue Yi just now went to harass a three-flowered kitten next to her, and the two little guys quickly got into a fight.

Yes little one.The tiger-sized orange cat that Xue Yi saw when he woke up was actually just a small milk cat with the same size as him now. Now the whole world was magnified dozens of times in his eyes, and it looked like something out of a fairy tale. interest.

Xue Yi stared at the two milk cats wrestling and playing, and saw that their orange fur and spots reflected very vividly against the gray background.He was a little surprised. It is said that cats' eyes cannot see reddish colors, but this obviously does not hold true here.Xue Yi looked around and found that his color vision was no different from before, and then he found that this hiding place was not simple.

This should be a dead end between the back walls of the three buildings, and the width may be less than two meters. Because of the angle of the surrounding buildings, a corner is formed at the bottom of the alley.There are rows of high-rise buildings on three sides of the corner, probably because of the orientation, there are no windows on these walls.A slab of invisible material is placed above the corner, and with the help of three walls, a shed is formed that is strong enough to shelter from wind and rain.The top of the board is rolled with felt, which is probably used as a windshield at night or in winter.There is a single mattress in the shed, of which there is no visible material, and it has been scratched and torn by kittens, and a thin coral fleece blanket is randomly piled on it.

His gaze followed the walls of the surrounding high-rise buildings all the way up, but he could only see the gray sky. The walls seemed to protrude into the mist, and he couldn't see where the end was at all.There are three walls, one corner, and the sky is still blocked by the lingering mist, as if forming a big pocket, blocking everything out, making it impossible for Xue Yi to judge what kind of environment this alley is in.Only one thing is certain, this is not the city he has always lived in.

This is where he and his two kittens have always lived, and they will presumably continue to live here until they reach adulthood.

Xue Yi looked at the small stainless steel bowl filled with water under the wall and three or four broken lunch boxes piled up not far away, and at the clean and smooth fur of the cubs. It was a little difficult to determine who their breeders were. A female cat is still a human being.

Xue Yi, who was still thinking wildly, suddenly caught a slight sound. He turned his head to look at the corner of the alley, and found an adult raccoon cat standing there at some point.Cihuamao held a bulging bag in its mouth, staring straight at Xue Yi.

Xue Yi was slightly startled, he found that he could see a hint of doubt on the cat's expressionless face.

The little milk cats also discovered the existence of the big raccoon at this time, they recognized their breeder, stopped playing, and ran towards each other with Mimi meowing.

Big Lihua took her gaze away from Xue Yi, and walked steadily towards the simple shed.One of its hind legs appeared to be injured, and it was clearly limping when walking.Xue Yi suddenly thought of the general who had accompanied him for many years, he was a little dazed, his eyes followed the big raccoon flower to the bottom of the alley, watching it put a bag of various foods firmly in front of the broken lunch box by the wall.

Then Xue Yi discovered that their breeder was a male cat.

Do male cats raise kittens?He began to doubt his own knowledge.

Over there, the little orange cat and little Sanhua had already sat down obediently, not fighting, but whispering anxiously, as if they were urging something.The big raccoon flower skillfully tore apart a pack of meatballs and poured them into three lunch boxes. It moved so skillfully that the whole bag of round meatballs didn't spill out at all.Then it dug out a string of sausages the size of a human thumb from the bag, tore apart the casings equally skillfully, and evenly divided them into three lunch boxes.

Xue Yi was stunned to see all this, and couldn't help but start to suspect that this was just a dream of his own.

Just when the big raccoon was about to lower its head and continue to rummage through the bag, it noticed the brown kitten still standing there, so it turned its head to look at him.

A strange feeling suddenly appeared, Xue Yi seemed to be able to clearly read the meaning it wanted to express from the eyes of the big raccoon flower: "Come here, eat." This cognition directly appeared in his mind, and he could even Feel that it involves an emotion like loving-kindness.

Is this how cats communicate with each other?Mental power or brain waves?So high end!No wonder cats are said to rarely use calls to communicate with each other, and only meow when facing humans.

Xue Yi walked over involuntarily in shock, and sat in a row with the other two kittens, wondering in his mind: This raccoon cat behaves so miraculously, could it also be possessed by a human soul?So this is the world after death?Will all be cats?Or...become your favorite animal?

Big Lihua put another biscuit in each lunch box, and then allowed the kittens to eat.

Looking at the "normal" food in the lunch box in front of him, Xue Yi was suddenly a little thankful for the extraordinaryness of this big cat, otherwise if it brought back a mouse or something, he might go on a hunger strike to protest.

After eating, Xue Yi imitated the appearance of two little milk cats and climbed onto the mattress, and secretly continued to observe the big raccoon that was licking its fur. Probably can't find a more convenient way than licking fur.

While watching the big cat licking its fur, he thought about it one after another, and finally he was no match for the instinct of the little milk cat's body, and fell into a drowsy sleep.
