Conversation with the Dead

In the near past, this event happened. The locusts' wings flapped noisily. The swarm of locusts moved through the sky, blanketing it black. Wu Siyu stood on the wasteland in cat form. She stared at the iron cage as the dead body inside it slowly raised its head. She knew there was something wrong about it but seeing that in action, she couldn't help but grumble internally, 'What kind of terror is that?' The human face was half decayed to expose the white skull inside. The decayed half was crawling with maggots. 

"Hello." Wu Siyu greeted, "Was it you who summoned me here?"

"Wu Siyu, I know you very well…" The dead body began. The thing should not have a vocal cord but it spoke perfectly, "I know everything about you but something troubles me. How come of all the banal creatures, you're the one being given such a unique soul…"

"Maybe…" Wu Siyu suggested, "It's because I've drank many coca-cola?"

"No, it has nothing to do with that." The corpse countered.
