Schrödinger of the Cat [Interstellar]

Xue Yi had never felt that he was so weak, that he had no strength at all, and even opened his eyelids with great effort.He looked at the soft but cold light from the ceiling, smelled the air that was too clean but seemed abnormal around him, felt the soft texture of the clothes on his skin and the cold chip clinging to his body, he thought in a trance that I experienced another time travel.

The pain from the needle stick on his arm gradually became more obvious. He raised his hand, lowered his eyes to look over, and found a skinny forearm.An infusion tube was inserted into the forearm, and the bright red liquid was flowing from the tube into the blood vessels under the skin.This forearm is so skinny that the gap between the ulna and the radius can almost be seen.From the slender wrist to the back of the hand, which is full of muscles and bones, it is connected with five pale fingers without a trace of blood. Even the nails are sickly pale white, without a trace of rosy.

But even so, Xue Yi was fascinated.

Because it's a human hand.

He has human hands again.

After a while, he began to feel weak in his arms, so he had to put his arms back on the hospital bed, try to keep his eyes open to fight the drowsiness, and think about the situation he was in.He couldn't be sure if this was another time travel, but he knew that this ward still had a very obvious imperial style, and it was much more likely that he didn't travel to another world.

Recalling the eyes of Ares seen in the previous battle, Xue Yi suddenly thought of an unimaginable direction: Could it be that cats in this world can really become humans?And the humans here are actually all cats?

This thought became clearer and clearer in Xue Yi's mind, details that he hadn't noticed before jumped out one after another.For example, the abnormality of the raccoon cat, why Vey taught a cat to learn characters, for example, the "His Royal Highness's Spaceship" in Coco's mouth, for example, Ares never appeared with His Highness at the same time... For example, he used to use a joking tone Tell yourself: "After awakening, I will become a human being."

Therefore, Ares is His Highness, and the other party already knows that he is not a normal, ignorant cub, because as His Highness, he has long seen himself using the database terminal on the spaceship.

Could it be because of this that he adopted himself as his adopted son?

No, not right.

Xue Yiluo's hand by his side slowly clenched into a fist.He remembered the note about the Holy Spirit family, the pendant, and the dream of fleeing—if his guess about the man and the cat is correct, it means that he is not a pet raised by the Holy Spirit family cat.

He is the legacy of the Holy Spirit Race!

Ares must have seen this and adopted him by his side.

Before the joy of becoming a human again had time to fill Xue Yi's heart, cold water poured down like this, sweeping his entire body with an indescribable sense of panic.Xue Yi recalled the legends about the Holy Spirit Race, and thought about the reason why Ares treated him so seriously, but felt that some unexpected weight was slowly pressing on his shoulders, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Just when Xue Yiwu was in a daze, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.

"Wake up." Just as the voice sounded, a young face appeared in Xue Yi's eyes.Qi Wei checked the monitoring data of the instrument expressionlessly, listened to Xue Yi's heart sound, and pinched his pulse before saying, "There is nothing wrong with his body, but the functions of various organs, including the heart and lungs, are relatively weak. , it will take a while to recuperate...the bone age has been measured."

After finishing speaking, the young doctor removed all the instrument wires connected to Xue Yi's body, leaving only the infusion tube that provided the compound nutrient solution.Ares walked to Xue Yi's bed at this moment, stretched out his fingers to caress his cheek, stared into his eyes without speaking.

Xue Yi also looked at Ares without saying a word, and saw that his hair was loose, exuding the unique smell of healing liquid, and there was an unhealed wound on the side of his neck.Ares was wearing a soft hospital gown with short cuffs, which made him look a little funny and embarrassed, but his spirit looked good, and the weakness that had been seriously injured and dying was completely gone, and he looked even worse than himself. The body is healthier now.

Those purple eyes now regained the round pupils that humans should have. There was a bit of bitterness in the depth, and there was even a hint of tenderness.

Looking at these eyes, Xue Yi suddenly felt relieved.

Even if this person hides many things from him, so what?Even if he valued him because of his blood, so what?He was still alive, and he was still alive, and the two of them were bound together by a shared secret. Isn't this the best ending?What's more, this person turned out to be the big black cat that he loved so much.

Thinking of this, Xue Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, rolled up a human tongue that he hadn't felt for a long time, opened his mouth slightly, his throat trembled slightly, and spit out two words: "Your Highness..."

Ares was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and replied, "It's me."

He knew that once this clever child woke up, he would definitely guess many things.He was ready to be questioned, but he didn't expect Xue Yi to be neither surprised nor angry, but actually grinned.This weak smile bloomed on his pale face, making Ares's heart ache.He sat down beside Xue Yi's bed, stretched out his hand to hold his thin palm, and offered to apologize: "I'm sorry..."

"Can you..." Xue Yi didn't listen to what Ares said, but interrupted him.His body was very weak, and just to grab the speed of this sentence, he even became a little short of breath.Having no choice but to calm his breath, Xue Yi slowly added the second half of the sentence: "...Let 'Your Highness' accompany me?" After speaking, there was a hint of slyness in his eyes, which made him look much smarter.

When Qi Wei heard such a request from the side, although his complexion did not change, the brows raised a little uncontrollably.

Although people don't hate their original form, the higher the nobles, the less likely they are to show their original form in front of others at will.After all, it would be awkward to put on clothes after turning into a cat, and if you don't wear clothes, even if you know that you are covered with fur, you will psychologically feel that you are always naked.So people generally don't change forms in public unless necessary.

However, Ares used to be difficult to suppress because of mental violence, and it seemed that he had to maintain the in-situ state for a long time during the rehabilitation period. Could it be that he has gotten used to it?Listening to what the young man said, he has actually seen Ares in situ?

Qi Wei couldn't help looking at Ares, wondering what the major general would do.

Naturally, Ares couldn't bear to reject Xue Yi. He unbuttoned his bracelet and clothes almost a second after the other party finished speaking, and retracted his whole body into the hospital gown in the blink of an eye.The hospital gown that lost its support fell to the foot of the bed, the bulge in the middle moved, and a black, hairy head protruded from the neckline.

The black Maine Coon cat flicked its ears, jumped onto the hospital bed, carefully placed its somewhat bulky body close to Xue Yi's shoulder, and lay down beside him.Then, Ares stretched out a paw to press Xue Yi's arm, stretched out his mental strength, and talked to him: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but... when I want to tell you, I always can't open my mouth."

Xue Yi gave a soft "hmm", turned his body sideways, embraced Ares in his arms with his arm without the infusion tube, and pressed his cheek against the top of the big cat's head with his eyes closed.Feeling the cat's soft and fluffy fur, Xue Yi felt extremely satisfied.He has wanted to do this for a long time, but he suffered from the fact that his kitten was too small before, and he couldn't feel the pleasure of touching a cat.

He hugged Ares' cat body, his weak body couldn't hold it anymore, and he fell into a drowsy half-asleep and half-awake state.

Qi Wei looked at the one person and one cat huddled together expressionlessly, and always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this father-son relationship, but the parties seemed to be enjoying it, so it was not easy for him to intervene.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Vey asked outside the door: "Can we go in? Coco is awake, and she wants to see Schrödinger."

Ares raised his head from Xue Yi's arms, saw Qi Wei's questioning eyes, raised his chin, and signaled him to open the door.Qi Wei didn't dare to answer loudly, for fear of waking Xue Yi up, so he went to open the door himself.

Wei Yi took A Min and Ke Ke into the ward, and when they saw the big black cat in the arms of the young man, the three of them were stunned.Amin was calm, and quickly returned to her normal expression. Ke Ke was originally pale because of being parasitized, and now even her lips are bloodless.Wei Yi couldn't hide something in his heart, and immediately widened his eyes, saying in disbelief: "Your Highness—" Before he finished speaking, he received a mental warning from Ares, and immediately covered his mouth.

Qiwei tilted his head and explained to Ares: "Their ghost body test was done by me personally, which is consistent with Jian Peixing. There is no abnormality, but the mental power is slightly shaken, and they will recover soon. Moreover, the theory Basically, they don't have any memory of what they did during their parasitism."

Ares nodded, leaned his head back on Xue Yi's arm, and told Qi Wei to continue relaying his order.

"The major general asked you to go down to rest first, and Schrödinger is with him..." Qi Wei said.

Looking at the backs of the three war envoys who turned and left, Qi Wei reminded Ares: "Although only a few of us know that Schrödinger is your previous cub, it's not easy for you to hide it completely." Possibly, I suggest you inform the imperial concubine as soon as possible, so that she can change Schrödinger's identity to a safer one."

"I know." Ares said.

Xue Yi's identity must be explained.A cub of the royal family surprisingly awakened at the age of three, and even more astonishingly grew into a young man directly. This fact must not be rumored.The mutation of the body can also be explained by the miracle of biology, but the intelligence of this child who grows up in an instant is not inferior to the real youth, which is hard to explain clearly.

Once a good reason cannot be found, there will always be people who are not afraid to speculate with the most vicious thoughts whether the child has been parasitized by a ghost.

Fortunately, Schrödinger's real identity information has a high level of confidentiality, so there is no need to worry about being exposed immediately.And fortunately, Xue Yi had very little contact with humans at the cub stage, so it wasn't too difficult to forge a new identity for him.

"Schrödinger's bone age is already old. According to the laws of the empire, he is already an adult. He can go to school, or join the military, or...become a war envoy." Qi Wei continued to remind.

Seeing that Ares was silent, Qi Wei continued: "Schrödinger's mental power is not enough to join the army, but his brain was not affected during the awakening process. The instrument test shows that he has enough IQ to apply for admission to ordinary universities. Will It is theoretically possible to send him back to Emperor Star to study, but I don’t recommend it, the struggle there is not on the bright side, and it is actually no safer than the front line.”

There was no expression on the cat's face, but the tip of its flicking tail showed Ares' annoyance at the moment.

"Besides, I don't suggest you keep him at home as a war envoy. He needs to get in touch with this society, so he can't stay ignorant." Qi Wei said calmly.

At this moment, Xue Yi woke up in a daze, seeing the big black cat in his arms with lowered eyes, thinking about something.He wanted to perceive Ares' emotions through his mental power, but suddenly found that he could hardly mobilize a trace of mental power.He was startled, and he couldn't help but put in a little more force, but he didn't expect that just as he put in more force, there would be a stabbing pain in his head, and then he found that his field of vision had changed.

The moment Qi Wei saw the change in Schrödinger's figure, he rushed forward instinctively, pulled out the drip needle with the medicine hanging on it, and watched the thin young man transform back into a half-sized kitten again.
