Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Rat Trouble
Dark tunnels, humid air, putrid smell...
There are grass roots above the head, rocks on the sides, insect remains and unknown beans underneath.
A gray-white mouse went in and out of the narrow cave, and in a slightly more spacious place on the inside of the cave, several small mice kept chirping.
They seemed a little lively and active, and when they opened their eyes, they seemed to be full of enthusiasm for the world.
However, there is one small exception.
Its furry little head remained motionless. It stared blankly at the brothers and sisters in front of it, its little eyes full of confusion.
'I'm actually a mouse? ! '
It was like a thunderbolt flashed through my heart, and my narrow brain seemed unable to handle all the current experiences and fell into a state of shutdown.
Gradually, its eyebrows lowered, its two still weak front paws supported its chin, and it fell into thinking.
Although he had gotten rid of his confused state a few days ago, although he felt that he might not be human anymore during the past few days of feeding, although he had thought that even pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep should survive well. Go down, but he never thought that he would turn into a mouse.
'Is it a problem with my name? '
His surname is Rat, a very, very rare surname. (All twelve zodiac animals have their own surnames)
Kaito Rat, this is his name, it is said that it means alienation and disaster, but his life is almost filled with disasters.
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, disasters caused by oneself, anyway, he and disasters are very predestined.
Even when I was in school, as long as something bad happened in the class, just go to him. It might not be his doing, but it must be related to him, or he knew it from what he saw.
Finally, when he was nearly thirty, he had another car accident.
This time he didn't survive. As he closed and opened his eyes, he changed from a human to a mouse.
'I can't do it this time. ' I don't know whether it's the blow from the current situation or the secret joy of resurrecting his life. Although he is still in trouble, Mouse has a heart that makes fun of reality.
…
The life of a mouse is simple, boring and boring.
Eat and sleep every day, and eat after sleeping.
Now is the season when summer fruits are abundant, and there is more food in the cave than can be eaten.
Mouse was the earliest and fastest eater among them. When other little mice were still attached to milk, he tried to eat those beans and nuts again and again.
More than twenty days later, when he was almost one month old, he grew into the biggest one in the litter and became the first one to be kicked out.
Hey, I don't want to stay here, I have my own place to stay. Short-haired rats, you missed a great opportunity.
Kaito shook his slender tail, shook his head and started his journey into the wilderness.
As mentioned before, in this season, there are abundant products in the mountains, forests and wilderness. You can pick whatever you have eaten in the cave, and you can also eat fresh fruits that have not been eaten in the cave.
And I don't know if it's because his sense of taste has become more sensitive after becoming a mouse, or if it's just the fruit in the wild. The mouse feels quite comfortable eating it.
Climbing up the treetops with bark, following the peanut vines across the hillside, and crossing the river holding on to the dead wood.
He met a lynx and was chased around by the lynx. He only escaped by hiding in a hole.
He met a skunk, and he and the skunk had a fight, neither of them obeyed the other.
He encountered a snake who tried to ambush him, but he bit off its head.
'I'm really awesome. ' While enjoying the delicious taste of snake meat, Rat Ban thought in his heart.
As for why he is so awesome, he feels that it should be attributed to his soul converted from a human being.
The smaller the body, the faster the conduction of nerve signals and the faster the response.
The spirit of ordinary creatures is limited by the capacity of the brain, but in addition to the capacity of the rat's brain, the soul also plays a role in carrying the spirit. The fact that he still remembers his previous life is evidence of this.
In other words, most living things have a single-core brain processor, and he also needs to add a soul processor with stronger processing performance. It is not only dual-core, but the performance is countless times stronger.
There are spots of light reflected in the forest, and rainwater still remains on the grass blades.
Kaito walked through a bush and saw a not-so-obvious trail.
He came to a tree, looked at a human corpse in front of him and fell into thought.
Humans, that's nothing. Although he is a mouse now, as long as he doesn't go to other people's homes to steal food, he will never be caught by humans.
Human corpses were nothing. Every year during his lifetime, he would see news of people falling off cliffs or getting lost in the wild.
However, the clothes this man was wearing were not quite right.
It was a set of coarse cloth clothes. It was very rough and did not look like a modern industrial product at all. The style of the clothes was also very similar to that of ancient Japan.
There was also the broken katana, and the long haircut on his head that looked like shit.
'Am I not only reborn but also traveled through time? ' Kaito rubbed his chin with his front paws slightly, showing a thoughtful look in his eyes.
'Is this good news? Or is it bad news? '
Kaito thought about it, his ears moved slightly, and he heard something special.
The "rustling" sound is the sound of rapidly rubbing grass or leaves.
'Cheetah? Wild boar? tiger? So fast. '
As soon as Kaito turned around, he saw a sight that made him widen his rat eyes.
Only a few figures were seen shuttled between the branches of the trees, and then a huge fireball appeared out of thin air, roaring and hitting a few meters in front of the rat disaster.
"Boom--" The fireball exploded, and the sweeping wind and waves blew the mouse away several meters away.
"Squeak! Squeak, squeak, squeak—!"
For the first time, the rat plague made such a sound, the scream of a frightened rat.
'She must have traveled through time! ' The rat was running wildly, and in his heart there was a group of drafters running with him.
However, while running, Kaito's body suddenly stopped.
'Huh? There seems to be something wrong...'
'Why do I feel so fucked up? I should be happy! '
'Yes, that's right, I should be happy. '
'If it were the earth, then I would just be a mouse living a leisurely life of eating, eating and sleeping. But if it were not the earth, then I might have hope of living a human life! '
'What kind of magic power was that just now? Maybe this is a world of cultivating immortals, and I might be able to cultivate into a demon. '
The more he thought about it, the more he felt about it, and the eyes of Kaito gradually changed. In his heart, the group of alpacas gradually turned their heads and turned into bloodthirsty wolves.
Kaito turned his head and looked at the place where the sound of swords clashing appeared, and then looked at the thick smoke caused by the big fireball. He flicked his tail, then turned around and walked back.
The gray fur gradually disappeared into the bushes.
