Chapter 1194 Request
How can an old man who is racing against time and wishes the clock would stop have any extra energy to care about what others think of him?

Every sunrise makes the old man happy.

Every sunset makes the old man sad.

Whenever he saw the sunset, he couldn't help but think of a very annoying word.

The sun is setting in the west.

Haha, the sun is setting.

But the sun rises every day.

So what if it's sunset?
When the time comes it will rise again.

And what about him?
Every time he closed his eyes, he worried that he would not be able to open them the next day.

His heart was always in torment of the fear of death.

He was in great pain.

He became more and more eager for the divine turtle.

It was as if he was possessed by a demon, and the divine turtle had become his obsession.

And the so-called obsession...

How can I let go so easily?
Even though the young man in front of him told him again and again that the divine turtle was a monster and its flesh was useless to his sick body.

Even the divine turtle, the monster, told him himself that its flesh could not cure his terminal illness.

He still couldn't believe it.

In other words, he didn't want to believe it.

This was his last hope, and he couldn't give up until he was actually beaten to a pulp.

Besides, what if I get a bloody head?

Either way, it's death.

He didn't want to wait to die.

He just wanted to live as best he could.

Even if it's barely alive.

"Young man, I know that you can definitely catch the divine turtle."

The old man knew that in his current physical condition, it was nothing but a pipe dream to go out to sea to catch a sacred turtle.

Besides, he didn't have that much time to search slowly.

However, he stared at the young man in front of him.

He knew that this young man was different from him.

Even though they could all see the turtle.

But, they are different.

If this young man knew that the turtle was a monster...

He will definitely find the sacred turtle!

"Please help me."

"Help me catch the turtle."

"I have money, lots of money."

"I'll give you whatever you want."

"As long as you help me catch the turtle."

"Young man, please pity an old man like me."

"Help me, huh?"

A blush appeared on the old man's pale face, his cheeks were thin and his eyes were wide open.

The light inside was amazingly bright.

The corners of my eyes are still red.

"It saved you."

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "If-"

"I know."

The old man interrupted the young man in front of him somewhat rudely.

He was a little impatient.

"I know."

he repeated.

The young man in front of him had already told him about this.

Although he is old, his mind is not so muddle-headed that he cannot remember such a small thing.

“I know it saved me.”

The old man said it again, his mood getting worse, and his tone had a bit of venting, "So what?"

"I didn't ask it to save me."

“My goal was to catch it.”

"It's a monster."

“We are human beings.”

“We are different from them!”

"Besides, monsters are always bad."

"Hasn't there always been a legend about monsters harming the world?"

"If we catch it, wouldn't that be acting in the name of justice?"

“Who knows if it will harm humans in the future?”

The more the old man spoke, the more he felt that what he said made sense, and the expression on his face became more and more excited, even a little excited.

"Then I might as well eat it."

"Maybe it won't work, but maybe it will work?"

"Don't you know about this kind of thing only after you actually try it?" "Young man, you don't have to think too much."

The old man knew that young people nowadays would always care about things that he thought were unnecessary, "I'm asking you for this."

"I will bear all the consequences."

"Although you will feel a little sorry for that monster."

"But you saved my life!"

The old man's eyes were burning, "It's hard to have both in this world."

"If one side must sacrifice..."

"Are you more inclined towards monsters than humans?"

"Its flesh will do nothing to help your disease."

Xiao Xiao stated a fact again.

Indeed, sometimes, when it is absolutely necessary, one has to make the choice of sacrificing one party.

But the sacrifice was worth it.

But the current situation is that the monster's sacrifice is completely worthless.

The monster is dead.

Old people will still die when the time comes.

Neither sooner nor later.

Monster flesh wouldn't make his body any better.

As for whether it will be worse...it's hard to say.

Why make unnecessary sacrifices?

Sacrifice is not a word that can be spoken lightly.

After all, sacrifice means the death of a life.

The old man's behavior is somewhat like "it is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go."

Too extreme and cruel.

"I know!"

The old man tried hard to control his irritable emotions caused by the sudden anger.

He is asking for help.

Unfortunately, this attempt was not very successful.

"I know. That monster saved me."

"I know. The monster said its meat has no effect on my illness."

"I know all this."

"You don't have to tell me again and again!"

The old man said in a high voice, then lowered his voice, "But-"

“I just can’t give up.”

"I just wanted to try it, just in case-"

"What if it succeeds?"

For an old man today, even if there is only one percent of hope, he will try his best to grasp it.

He had no room for choice.

Even though this is ugly, it is excessive.

He knows.

But in order to survive, he didn't care about anything.

"you do not know."

Xiao Xiao looked into the old man's cloudy eyes and said, "If you knew, you wouldn't have said those words later."

Eat your savior?
This is really funny.

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

The emotion in his eyes became somewhat obscure.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything more and directly rejected the old man's request.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then screamed, "Why?!"

"I'm begging you so much!"

"Dong dong~"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Uncle Zhang's voice came from outside the door, with some doubt and anxiety, "Uncle Li, what's wrong with you?"

"What happened?"

"May I come in?"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

No one responded to Uncle Zhang at the door.

Xiao Xiao's ears moved slightly.

He heard the voices of Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun and others.

Then, Uncle Zhang was persuaded to leave by them.

He also heard Zhuge Yun leaning closer to the door and muttering, "Old Three, continue."

He couldn't help but laugh.

However, the old man's voice that rang out again made the smile in his eyes fade away.

There seemed to be a thin layer of cold mist covering my eyeballs.

"Want me to kneel down for you?"

Because of the interruption of the knock on the door, the old man calmed down a little. He said in a deep, hoarse and difficult voice, "Isn't what I asked for enough?"
