A prince from a certain American comic book

"This unfortunate event has deeply shocked us, but it also unites us in our shared grief. Today we gather and stand together to commemorate the tragic passing of this promising young man..."

"Let us pray. Ice #Fire @Chinese www.bhZW.cc"

"...Lord, you can turn the shadow of death into hope for the future. Let us entrust Dean to you together, help us serve you with repentant hearts, and remind us that the dead died so that we might live."

"..."

A week later, at Baltimore Cemetery Park, a funeral was held specifically to send off Dean, who had committed suicide by slitting his throat in a bar.

Ike came over too.

Because Ike and Chris were witnesses to Dean's suicide, and because both Chris and Ike were residents of Elm Street, they were positioned quite close to the front this time.

To be precise.

Ike and Chris were sitting in the first row, next to Dean's parents.

Ike looked down at the black suit he was wearing today.

Can't help it.

Ike had an urge to throw all the clothes out of his closet.

As for the reason?

Wearing this suit today, Ike felt as if he had received some kind of blessing. Not only did he feel more handsome, but he also felt that the upper limit of his self-confidence had increased.

It's amazing.

Just then.

Ike frowned slightly as he watched Chris, who was suddenly looking in front and then back.

next second.

Ike grabbed Chris's right hand directly.

Awoo!

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Chris seemed to suddenly come to her senses, looking at Ike with a look of horror.

Ike smiled and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Chris looked intently at the spot where she had suddenly seen a little girl.

It is empty.

After thinking for a while, Chris frowned, shook her head, and pulled her right hand out of Ike's grasp.

Ike smiled and saw the priest standing at the entrance of the hole, chanting "Lord, God" and the like.

This is a very serious occasion.

As a qualified and destined-to-be unparalleled heir to the throne, Ike would never allow himself to make any inappropriate moves at any time.

quite a while.

After a chorus of "Amen" from everyone.

Sitting to Chris's left, Chris's mother stood up and helped Chris, whose face was still filled with fear, up, saying, "Let's go, darling, it's over."

Claire, who was sitting next to Ike, also said to Ike, "Let's go."

Ike nodded.

Get up.

"Meow!" Tom, the blue-haired cat who was lying at Ike's feet, also got up, but he hissed in one direction.

Ike looked in the direction where Talking Tom was yelling.

Talking Tom looked up at Ike and meowed.

gone?

Ike thought to himself as he looked at the trees not far away.

In mythology, cats are the guardians of hell.

There is a rumor that cats are the result of a demon's attempt to create humans, but it failed, and the failed creation was the cat.

There is also a legend that the sun created the lion, and the gods were moved and praised the sun. The moon became jealous and created the cat, wanting to rival the sun.

There are even rumors that...

In short, in these rumors, cats are portrayed as mysterious and possessing great power.

That's why Ike specifically brought Talking Tom with him today.

Since Jerry can't see it, then close the door and let Tom out.

As a member of the cat family, Talking Tom is almost perfect in every way except for his inability to catch mice...

"Ike, wait for me here." Claire whispered to Ike, looking at Dean's parents who were still sitting in their chairs.

Ike nodded.

After Claire had walked away, Ike asked Talking Tom, "You can see that, so can you beat him?"

Talking Tom first nodded, then shook his head, and then made a sound.

Ike asked suspiciously, "Are you really unable to beat them, or are you just being lazy and saying you can't?"

Talking Tom meows.

Ike said with a look of utter disappointment, "Your family is already famous throughout the universe, how come you didn't inherit any of that?"

"Meow."

"An orange cat is still a cat, and all cats in the world... I mean, the universe, are one big family."

"Meow!"

"What? That was a disguise? Even if it's a disguise, try telling the entire universe that the Flerken don't belong to your cat race, and see who believes you."

"Meow."

"Alright, will you be able to see him next time he shows up?"

This time, Talking Tom didn't meow; instead, he nodded his head at Ike.

Ike looked dejected.

Without comparison, there is no harm, but with this comparison, the harm is infinitely great. That orange cat can not only devour everything, but also has a dimensional bag.

Where is his blue cat?

……and many more.

My Blue Cat isn't bad either; at least it can build a spaceship on its own.

Suddenly, a thought struck me. With a smile, Ike patted Tom's head, and the cat happily purred.

At the same time.

Chris, who was looking at Dean's picture book, suddenly saw a photo of herself as a child.

Just as Chris was feeling surprised and uncertain.

Jesse, who was wearing a trench coat, walked over and said, "You've known Dean since you were a kid?"

Chris was startled. After recognizing the person, she shook her head and looked at the photo of herself as a child: "Christ Jesus, that's me, but I don't remember taking this photo. I only started seeing Dean in my third year of junior high."

Jesse shrugged, patted Chris on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go."

Chris turned around, full of confusion.

quite a while.

Chris said, "Dean said something before he died."

Jesse frowned and said, "Stop talking."

Even though Dean is dead, Jesse still feels a surge of anger when he hears Dean's name.

Chris stopped and turned to Jesse, saying, "He said you're not real, just that one sentence, over and over again. Do you know what that means?"

Just as Jesse sighed and was about to speak, he lowered his head.

Chris happened to see Ike petting the blue cat's head not far away, and walked towards Ike, calling out softly, "Ike."

Ike looked up.

After Chris and Jesse walked over, Chris said to Ike, who had stood up, "Do you remember what Dean said before he died?"

Ike glanced at Jesse, who seemed hostile towards him, then nodded to Chris and said, "I remember, but it's not surprising that a person who commits suicide would say all sorts of strange things, otherwise he wouldn't have committed suicide."

Jesse, who overheard this, chimed in, "Yeah, what could it mean? Dean's been taking a lot of medication because of his sleep problems..."

“Jesse,” Chris called out to Jesse, then looked at Ike and Jesse and said, “It was as if someone forced him to do it.”

After Chris finished speaking, she turned to Ike and said, "You were there too, and you saw the expression on Dean's face at the time."

Ekko: "..."

Jesse: "..." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Prince of a Certain American Comic Book"~

Ike looked at Jesse. (Ice & Fire Chinese website www.BHZw.cc)

Jesse was also looking at Ike.

After a moment of silence.

Ike shook his head and said to Chris, "Chris, it's not surprising that you would think that way, given how bloody it was."

Jesse chimed in, "Yes, Chris, it was late, and you were scared, so it must have been your hallucination."

Ike glanced directly at Jesse.

Is this guy trying to condemn everyone based on a single example?

He was there at the time, so does Jesse mean that he was also hallucinating at the time?

only.

Forget it, I won't argue with a child.
