"Yeah, for us, what if we know that monsters are real?"
Xiaolu said with a sad look on his face, "Is it any different from when you didn't know?"
"No difference at all!"
"There's no sense of reality at all."
"Like you, at least you heard something."
"Greedy is bad."
Xiaolu felt quite angry after talking about it.
…
Well……
Pei You felt a lot better after being comforted by Xiaolu, who seemed to be "accusing" him. He also felt a little guilty for no reason.
She was the only one who heard the monster's voice. Wasn't she too cunning?
Moreover, she asked for more and was sad that she could not see the monster, but she did not understand the feelings of Xiaolu and her brother.
As Xiaolu said just now, is she very greedy?
"sorry."
She spoke.
…
"Fool."
Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, then patted Pei You on the shoulder, "What are you apologizing for?"
"Maybe I can see if I suddenly open my eyes from behind?"
"Don't envy me too much then."
"...Isn't that called Sky Eye?"
"What's that called?"
"Oh, don't worry about details so much."
"It's good if you understand what I mean."
…
Xiao Xiao stood up, and the two girls stopped teasing each other and looked over.
Pei Liang stood up and asked, "Master Xiao?"
"It's getting late, I should go back."
"Master Xiao, I'll see you off."
Pei Liang said immediately.
"Ah, I'm going back too."
Xiaolu also stood up. She looked at Pei You, "Xiaoyou, are you going back to school?"
"I'll come back tomorrow."
She still wanted to stay and try to see if she could hear the monster's voice again.
"My brother and I will take you back to school together."
…
In the car, Pei You turned his head from time to time to look at Xiao Xiao, who was sitting by the window, with a yù expression on his face.
Xiao Xiao closed his eyes slightly, and when Pei You looked over for the third time, he said slowly, "What do you want to ask?"
"Hey, can I ask?"
Pei You shouted in surprise.
Xiao Xiao glanced at her, and the sunlight fell on his sparse eyebrows, creating a soft halo, "You can ask."
"It doesn't matter if you just reply or not."
Pei You, who thought he saw the Holy Father just now:...
The degree of my eyes is probably too dark, right?
…
Xiaolu and Pei Liang, who had been listening to their conversation, were speechless.
Pei You calmed down and looked at Xiao Xiao with a serious face, "Master Xiao, I was too excited before about the fact that monsters really exist, so I gave up on this issue."
"Now, I would like to ask you a serious question, and I hope you can answer me."
"Can that monster hurt people?"
Even though she has seen the image of monsters portrayed in anime, she also knows that real monsters are far less cute.
The monster legends that have been passed down to this day have mostly negative content.
Especially in the eyes of the older generation, aren't monsters... all cannibals?
However, she always remembered those words, "Play with me."
The monster who said such words...can't be too bad...right?
…
Xiao Xiao opened his eyes and looked into the girl's worried eyes, "That's a playful monster."
Playful?
The girl was stunned for a moment, but then a comfortable smile appeared on her face.
That means it's really not meant to hurt anyone, right?
Previous child drownings were accidental.
It just wants someone to play with it, right?
But... they can't see it.
A sigh overflowed from the girl's heart.
…
"Does it want someone to play with it?"
The fawn murmured.
"That was my original intention, but I didn't grasp the right balance. I was a bit ignorant of the importance."
Xiao Xiao said quietly, "I have told it not to hold on to humans next time."
...
"If I could see it, I would be happy to play with it."
The deer held his chin in his hands, looking regretful.
"Um."
Pei You responded softly.
She regretted that she didn't reply "Okay" after hearing the monster's words.
Perhaps, that was the only time in her life that she heard the voice of a monster.
If you missed that opportunity, when will the next opportunity be?
...
The car was very quiet for the rest of the journey.
"Master Xiao, we're here."
Pei Liang stepped on the brakes.
"Thanks."
"Master Xiao, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Master Xiao."
"goodbye."
...
A few days later, Xiao Xiao received a call from Pei You.
Although he thought about finding time to see the drowned ghost later, he didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly.
...
The girl's anxious voice came to my ears, and the narration was also a bit arrogant.
Xiao Xiao comforted the girl softly, and finally got an idea of what was going on.
But another child drowned in the river with monsters.
But unlike the previous child's near miss, this child... rescue failed and died.
...
"Master Xiao."
Pei You's voice was urgent, "What's going on?"
"Didn't you say last time that it was a good monster and that it didn't mean to hurt anyone?"
"A child really drowned this time!"
"I heard he's only seven years old."
...
"How do you know it was the monster that killed the child and not the child who drowned accidentally?"
Xiao Xiao asked back.
"Well......?"
The girl who was in quite intense mood was stunned.
Yes, how did she know that it was not the child who ignored the Jǐng sign who drowned himself, but that she subconsciously believed that the murderer was a monster?
"...Isn't it the reason why children drowned before?"
"Swallow it so I want this time..."
"No exception, right?"
...
Xiao Xiao declined to comment on Pei You's words.
"I am coming now."
"Oh ah?!"
Pei You, who reacted slowly, was a little panicked, "Well, Master Xiao, I'll ask my brother to pick you up."
"No, it takes too much time to go back and forth. I'll take a taxi there myself."
While Xiao Xiao was talking on the phone, he had already walked outside.
Zhang Bo and others who looked over after hearing the sound made a gesture to go out.
Everyone waved to him.
They were accustomed to Xiao Xiao going out suddenly for business from time to time.
In the past, they would still wonder if Xiao Xiao had a girlfriend? Now, save the money, there is probably another "business" coming to your door.
Master Xiao does not have a reputation for nothing.
...
Xiao Xiao took a taxi to Pei You's house where he had been before.
From a distance, he saw the two brothers Pei Liang and Pei You waiting at the door.
...
"Master Xiao."
Pei Liang stepped forward and opened the car door.
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao got out of the car, "I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
"Master Xiao."
Pei You shouted, probably because his mind was occupied by the monster killing, which made the girls forget their shyness and shyness, and it seemed quite natural to talk to Xiao Xiao.
The voice that came out was a little more sharp.
"Master Xiao...is it...that monster..."
...
"Let's go to the river first and have a look."
After saying these words, Xiao Xiao took the lead and walked forward.
The two siblings were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and hurriedly caught up with Xiao Xiao. (To be continued)
