Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Because their apartment doesn't allow pets, they posted a message on social media to help find a home for their cat.

Then they waited in the park for kind people to come to their door.

Not long after, Xiao Hua noticed the tall, bald man who looked like he could eat two children in one meal standing to the side, watching her without saying a word.

"No, no... that person should..."

I was just looking at the cat you were holding.

Seeing that Zi wanted to say that, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by others.

"Excuse me, are you people looking to help find a home for a cat?"

The speaker was a handsome, quiet, and somewhat shy man.

He glanced down at the photo on his phone, then at the kitten in Xiaohua's arms, and after confirming it was correct, he walked over to Jianzi and Xiaohua.

"I want to adopt this kitten."

"Huh! Really!?"

Xiao Hua said with some surprise.

She and Jianzi had been waiting in the park for quite some time, and the sky was already turning dusky. If no one came soon, Xiaohua didn't know what to do.

If it were just an ordinary kitten, Miko wouldn't mind taking it home.

The main issue is that the evil spirit seems to be a cat lover as well, and she already has enough "debts" to give Xia Yan today...

If that evil spirit is attached to Xiaohua, then Jianzi is willing to risk everything to feed the tiger.

However, it's clearly not enough for Miko to make such a sacrifice just for a kitten.

"Luckily, I happened to be passing by in this area. I was really lucky."

The man spoke in a gentle tone, with a faint smile on his face.

"That's great! She seems like a very gentle person!"

Xiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person who came to adopt the cat was a very kind person.

"No."

Seeing that Zi refused directly.

Although the man in front of you seems to be a gentle person, he is surrounded by countless cat-like evil spirits that constantly emit chilling howls that make your hair stand on end.

It's like a cat hell.

This gave Miko a very ominous feeling about him.

"Hey, aren't you going to give me my cat anymore...?"

Upon hearing Jianzi's curt refusal, the man's smile vanished, and he looked somewhat gloomy.

This is understandable, though. After all, people come over excitedly to adopt a cat, only to be met with a curt rejection. It's already quite good that they didn't turn on each other on the spot.

"Yes."

Seeing that Zi did not flinch, he stared at him with a serious expression.

With Xia Yan as her backer, she wasn't worried about any danger. She figured she had plenty of debts to repay, and at worst, she would just lose her virginity. She had already prepared for that.

"Why... no, never mind... I understand."

The man didn't say much, but silently turned and left.

Perhaps because he was accompanied by many cat spirits, the cat-lover spirit that had been following the kitten, which looked as thin as a skeleton, also left with him.

This unexpected gain made Jianzi somewhat relieved.

Chapter 264 The Curse from an Evil Spirit

Although Xiaohua didn't know why Jianzi refused to hand the cat over to that person, she didn't say anything more.

I just think that Jianzi has her reasons for doing this.

Seeing how understanding Xiaohua was, Jianzi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she didn't know how to explain it to Xiaohua.

I can't exactly tell her that I inexplicably awakened my ability to see ghosts yesterday, that I can see evil spirits, and that the man I just saw was haunted by the vengeful spirit of a cat, and that I suspect he might be abusing the cat, right?

Given Xiaohua's sensitivity to this kind of topic, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if she said that.

After confirming that the man with the cat spirit attached to him had gone far away, Jianzi took the cat that Xiaohua was holding from her arms.

With a look of surprise in her eyes, she handed it to the middle-aged man whose face was covered in scars and who felt restless if he didn't kill someone all day.

"I will take good care of it."

The uncle who took the cat had a gentle expression on his face. After making a promise to Miko, he turned and left.

"Is this alright...?"

Seeing that Jianzi had entrusted the cat to someone who looked dangerous, Xiaohua was still not entirely at ease, even though she saw the gentle expression on the other person's face when he took the cat.

"Hmm, I think so..."

Jianzi chose to entrust the cat to this older man not because she believed in any kind of unexpected charm, thinking that the older man would definitely like the cat, or because she saw gentleness in his eyes or other unreliable reasons.

It was because she saw two pure white cat spirits, resembling nemora, perched brightly on the other person's shoulders.

Completely different from the dark, evil spirits they had seen before, these two cat spirits were pure white, with two tails behind them and faint golden light emanating from their bodies. Just looking at them gave Jianzi a sense of holiness.

This was the first time Jianzi had ever seen such a special spirit.

The evil spirits she had seen before all emanated black energy, giving off a strong sense of foreboding.

Except for Xia Yan.

In her eyes, Xia Yan was no different from an ordinary person.

That's why I took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xia Yan when we were on the bus yesterday afternoon.

As a result, one misstep led to eternal regret.

Although she gained Xia Yan's protection, Jianzi felt that her chastity was starting to drift further and further away from her at that moment.

Although there is no basis for it, Jianzi subconsciously believes that if spirits are distinguished by good and evil, then the two cats belong to the category of good spirits.

The uncle who has such a cat spirit following him, even if he is really a gangster, is definitely a gangster who treats cats well.

After giving the cat away, Jianzi and Xiaohua went home.

It was already dusk, and if we didn't hurry home, it would get dark soon.

"I'm back--"

When I got home, I greeted my son as usual.

However, no response was received.

My younger brother Kyosuke will be staying at a friend's house again today, and although my mother didn't say she would be working late, she usually doesn't get home until after 10 p.m.

As for his father, he passed away unexpectedly a year ago.

That's why mothers who were originally housewives had to go out to work.

Fortunately, the father left behind a substantial compensation payment, the mortgage on the house had long been paid off, and the family still had considerable savings.

So although they became a single-person household, they didn't end up living in poverty.

It would even be enough to raise both Miko and Kyosuke to adulthood.

The reason my mother still goes out to work is simply because she doesn't want to live off her savings.

The bright moon hangs high outside the window, and although it is early autumn, one can still faintly hear the chirping of cicadas.

However, judging from its weak and feeble cries, which didn't even seem annoying, it probably wouldn't live for more than a few days.

After eating the bento box left by his mother for dinner, he saw his son curled up on the sofa, boredly watching a TV program called "True Stories That Will Make Your Skin Crazy," which was actually a collection of various composite paranormal photos, or simply fabricated urban legends that were so fake that they were unbelievable, as well as some short horror videos.

It's not that she has a particular fondness for this kind of program.

I just wanted to increase my courage by doing this, considering that I was basically destined to associate with ghosts and monsters in the future.

However, perhaps because she had already encountered real evil spirits, these seemingly fake things did not help her to strengthen her courage at all; instead, they made her feel sleepy.

"How boring..."

The girl sat across the sofa in a classic sports sitting posture, with her lower legs tucked in and her hands wrapped around her knees. Her buttocks, being so soft, left a slight indentation where they touched the sofa.

Because she hadn't changed out of her school uniform, the short skirt barely covered her underwear, creating a subtle and alluring visual effect.

Her plump, fair thighs were exposed, and her delicate little feet were huddled together. Faint blue veins could be seen on the insteps of her feet, and her small, round, pink toes revealed a hint of red. They would playfully twitch slightly from time to time.

"That person, could it be that cat abuser from the news...? He doesn't seem like a bad person at all..."

"No, no, no, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Aren't there often handsome villains in novels and comics who are actually very twisted?"

With nothing else to do, Jianzi started thinking again about the man she had seen that afternoon who wanted to adopt a cat.

It wasn't that she was interested in the person himself, although he was undeniably handsome.

However, compared to Xia Yan's looks, which are comparable to those of a succubus, there is still a tiny bit of a difference.

Therefore, it can be said that it holds no appeal whatsoever for Jianzi.

The reason I thought of him was that although he couldn't see the spirit, he was harassed by many evil spirits, which was somewhat similar to my current situation.

Seeing that Zi wanted to try to analyze something from the other person.

"It seems that being possessed by an evil spirit doesn't cause any harm..."

Thinking that both the kitten and the red-haired man seemed to be in good health, Miko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, many ghosts in ghost stories seem to have a similar setting of absorbing "yang energy".

Although Xia Yan mostly acted like he was lustful when he was with me...

"However, it doesn't seem to be of much reference value... After all, their contact is definitely not as deep as mine..."

I figured they probably just had evil spirits following them around...

Not only was Xia Yan completely possessed and controlled her body's actions, but she also had intimate contact with him that went beyond a normal male-female relationship. Seeing her eyes slowly fill with a hazy, watery look, her pretty face became hot, and steam faintly rose from her head.
