Chapter 2754: Awake at the Same Time
Zheng Qing opened his eyes and woke from his deep sleep.
After a dreamless night, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
He reached out and touched the smooth black gemstone beside his pillow.
A flood of memories, both strange and familiar, surged into his mind like water through an opened floodgate. These were his Avatar's memories—the Black Gemstone Cat's experiences from the previous night.
When he first began receiving his Avatar's memories, he had found it rather unsettling. Those strange yet familiar fragments in his mind always left him struggling to distinguish reality from illusion, as though his mind had split in two. After a few times, however, the Black Gemstone Cat's memories began fitting seamlessly into his own. Partly, of course, this was because they were all his memories, with no fundamental difference between them. But it was also because the Black Gemstone Cat had a limited range and very few experiences. Every day, the cat was either flirting with the White Jade Cat up in the Cat Fruit Tree or flirting with the White Jade Cat beneath it. There was almost nothing else.
And how many complicated memories could two cats interacting really create?
When he woke today, before touching the Black Gem, Zheng Qing had assumed it would be no different from the previous few days. He had even been wondering whether the two cats had played around up in the tree or beneath it last night.
But once the torrent of memories poured in, he abruptly sat up, instinctively pulled his bed curtains aside, and looked out the window, as though trying to check whether a furry, flattened cat face was still pressed against the balcony windowpane.
All he saw, however, was the faint light of dawn outside.
