The Strange Cat from Fuuto

The cross was originally an instrument of execution in the Roman Empire, but after the crucifixion of Jesus, it took on a religious connotation and became a symbol of love and redemption.

At this moment, the veteran driver was pierced all over by the chains of flames, and dripping blood flowed down the chains. His head held high, he seemed to be sacrificing himself.

However, the person he sacrificed himself to save was not the common people, but the tiger he fed.

Miku, having dealt with the old driver, didn't go back to him. He figured he could finish what he was doing first and then devour his knight power later.

"Actually, you've been immersed in the beautiful dream I've woven for you, and you're unwilling to wake up!"

Miku rose from his throne, took a step forward, and removed his star-patterned cloak: "Open your eyes wide and take a good look at me. See clearly what kind of being your father really is!"

"dad?"

The little guy shuddered and involuntarily looked at Miku, whose whole body exuded a fierce and savage aura, revealing a bloodthirsty nature from the very core of his being, and an overwhelming killing intent accumulated from killing countless living beings.

The little guy shuddered and fell to the ground with a thud. His clarity vanished, and he became dazed. In his daze, he saw a ferocious beast coiled amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, its indifferent and ruthless eyes staring silently at him.

"Take a good look at yourself!"

Another startled shout rang out, and the dazed little creature subconsciously looked at itself again. Its furry front paws had transformed into ferocious and sharp claws, the gleaming edge of which was enough to cleave gold and jade. Its furry body was covered with a layer of black keratinous skin, covered with various eerie patterns. Touching its face, it saw that its own face had also become a hideous and terrifying sight.

Looking around, he saw that there were many corpses piled up at his feet.

"This can't be real, this can't be real!"

The muttering little guy took a step back, and an arm with exposed bone grabbed his foot. Following the arm, the little guy saw only a face that was extremely frightening.

Why didn't you save me back then?!

A ghostly howl emanated from the corpse's mouth. The little guy screamed and kicked it away, then fell to the ground and stumbled backward on all fours.

"Snapped!"

As he felt himself bump into a fluffy little creature, clarity returned to his eyes. With a blink of an eye, all the surroundings vanished.

"Uncle...Dad!"

Seeing Mick squatting on the ground, the little guy's eyes welled up with tears. He hugged Mick and cried, "Uncle, please talk to Daddy! Daddy's gone crazy! He's saying a lot of things I can't understand! He's going to kill the police officer! He..."

Before the little guy could finish speaking, Mick gently pushed him away. Looking at his uncle's cold face, who usually doted on him, and then at those heterochromatic eyes, the little guy suddenly felt that Mick was a stranger.

"I'm sorry, little guy!" Mick, with a hint of reluctance on his face, took a deep breath: "But that's reality!"

"Whether it's the eldest brother, me, or you, we are all eccentrics, we are all chaotic beings!"

"It's fake!" The little guy backed away. "You're all lying to me!"

"It's all fake!"

"Mom said that Dad is the most perfect person in the world, he is the best in the world, he is like the blazing sun in the sky, and there is no shadow under the blazing sun, Mom said that!"

The little guy, clutching his head on the ground, was trembling all over: "This is all fake!"

"Mom said she wouldn't lie to me!"

"Mom wouldn't lie to me!"

"Waaah..."

Feeling something nudging it, the little guy looked up and saw Iggy. With teary eyes, the little guy said in a trembling voice, "Big dog!"

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, Iggy nuzzled the little guy, but then, ignoring the little guy's hopeful gaze, he walked past him and crouched down beside Miku. As he crouched down, his fur began to move without wind, and each hair burst into flames. As the flames ignited, Iggy's body slowly stretched and eventually transformed into a demon wolf crouching beside Miku.

Sorry, little one!

Although I love you very much, Miku will always be number one in my heart!

Ichi, whose face was covered by a white bone mask, glanced at the little guy with his glassy eyes, then turned his head back to look at Miku. From beginning to end, Miku was the only one in his eyes.

Not for anything else, but for the vow we made back then.

As long as the knight stands, the steed will never die!

"Big dog..."

The little guy swayed slightly as a fragrant breeze wafted past him. Serena looked at her most beloved son with a complicated expression. "Don't be confused anymore. This is what our family is really like!"

"We're all weirdos!"

"But Mom..."

"Sigh!" Serena patted the little one's head. "Everything was destined, child!"

“We are all weirdos, beings that cannot be tolerated by humans. Your father has been a member of the weirdo family since he opened his eyes. Your uncle was also split off from your father’s body. Iggy has been by your father’s side for a long time.”

"And what about you, Mommy? You're a human being!"

"No, I actually stopped being human a long time ago. Look at Mommy, she seems untouched by time. Mommy is already quite old, but she still looks like this. I can't be called human anymore!" Serena stroked the little one's head tenderly. "I'm so sorry, Miko!"

"It's only now that I'm revealing this cruel reality to you!"

"Ma... Ma!?"

The little guy, staring wide-eyed at Serena, suddenly felt that everyone was a stranger, especially when the little cutie led the little cub past him: "Brother, it's about time you woke up from your sweet dream!"

"This is the reality of our family, this is the reality of our Rice Clan!"

"You knew all along, didn't you?" The little guy looked at the little cutie with a complicated expression. The little cutie nodded hesitantly: "I actually always knew, but Daddy told me not to tell you, so I didn't!"

"So you've been keeping it from me all along, making me live in a web of lies you've woven!" The little guy was trembling all over, it was hard to tell whether he was furious or heartbroken.

"Dad, why did you do this!"

The little boy, mouth agape, questioned his father, large tears streaming down his face. Miku coldly replied, "Because this is what you wanted!"

"I'm just fulfilling your wish, playing house with you."

"Don't forget your own nature!"

"My true nature?!" The little guy was puzzled. Miku chuckled and said, "What you think is justice is nothing but a pale illusion, and what you believe in redemption is just a game!"

"You inherited my blood; you are just as cold-blooded and ruthless as I am."

"You want to protect the people around you, protect your family, protect your sister, protect your friends and partners, but in reality, have you actually done it?!"

"You don't have that power at all; you've always lived under my protection!"

"No, I didn't!"

"I don't!"

The little guy's loud and desperate rebuttal only earned him a cold laugh from Miku. Miku chuckled and said, "If you could really do that, then when you saw that scene again, you would have already attacked me, instead of shouting 'Why?'"

Ultimately, it's your own powerlessness and weakness that led to all of this!

"I taught you that if you want to protect your friends and family, and the people you care about, then you must stay true to yourself. No matter who it is, if they cross your bottom line, you must fight them with your life."

"Even if it's me, you must take up the knife!"

"But did you manage to do it?!"

Answer me!!!

A roar erupted from Miku's mouth, creating ripples in the air, and the little guy was thrown away by the sound waves.

"puff!"

The little boy, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looked at his father with a sorrowful expression. Miku looked at him coldly and said, "You have truly disappointed me!"

"What you're saying is just empty talk; I haven't seen a single thing in reality!"

"No, that's not how it is!"

"I don't!"

The little guy gritted his teeth and got up from the ground. His body was lifted up, and when he looked over, he found that it was the big cub with its tail between its legs. The big cub was supporting him with its tail between its legs and kept winking at him.

I told you not to be stubborn now!

You'd better back down quickly, or you'll really get beaten to death by Daddy Mi!

Stop arguing!

"So there are still people who support me!" With the help of his older son, the little boy managed to stand up. Looking at his older son, who was frantically giving him meaningful glances, the little boy smiled and said, "Thank you, older son!"

"Yes, I said I would protect the people around me!"

"That's what I planned from the beginning!" The little guy recalled the moment when he, a child, gave his father a firm and clear reply in the garden.

"Yes, that's exactly what I should have done!"

The little guy grinned at the experienced driver: "That's right, that's exactly what I should have done!"

"Father!"

Chapter 121: END!

"Hehe...hahaha..."

Miku's sudden burst of laughter left the grinning little guy somewhat bewildered.

"Hehehe..." Miku stopped laughing, covering his face with the golden mask, his tone filled with disdain: "Do you think it's any use saying all this now?"

"My poor son, you've been immersed in the beautiful dream I wove for you from the very beginning, and even now you still can't see reality?"

"Dad, you have indeed woven a truly beautiful dream for me." Glancing at his eldest cub beside him, the little guy slowly straightened up, his tail tapping the pendant around his neck: "But that's precisely why I want to show you my resolve!"

"After all, you taught me!"

The little guy released the driver and the signal tomahawk, saying, "Stick to your dreams, even if there are many difficulties, forge ahead bravely!"

"No matter who stands in my way, I will fight them with my life!"

The driver snapped onto the little guy's waist, and as the broken driver crackled with electricity, the little guy transformed abruptly.

"Clang!"

The little guy picked up the signal tomahawk and looked at his father with a fierce fighting spirit, while the older cub bit the little guy's tail hard, not wanting him to do anything foolish.

"Dad, I want to save the police officer!"

The little guy, raising his axe towards Miku, spoke with a firm tone. Miku shook his head slightly: "It seems you still haven't come to terms with reality!"
