Chapter 1648 Who Failed Who

The old man wanted to do something for the child.

She wanted to protect the child.

As a result, the child she wanted to protect... ended up hurting other children...

Right under her nose.

She was totally unaware.

"Do you...take me for a fool?"

The old man grabbed the clothes more and more tightly.

"I thought you were in some trouble..."

The child was indeed in trouble, but the source of the trouble was himself.

It was the child who made the big mistake.

Instead of what she thought, someone was bullying the child.

Is she... mistaking the wolf of wealth for a sheep?

The old man felt almost unable to breathe.

She saved this child, but also...harmed other children...

……

"Grandma Zhang."

Xiao Xiao stepped forward and patted the old man on the back.

"It's not your fault."

"Don't blame yourself."

"…Help me up."

The old man wanted to get up, but found that he couldn't do it on his own.

Xiao Xiao held the old man's arm.

He could feel that the old man's whole body was trembling.

"Okay."

The old man's words were a bit nonsensical, but Xiao Xiao understood and slightly loosened his hand that was holding the old man.

"I'll wait for you over there."

The old man didn't even look at the little ghost boy again, he just walked forward slowly and tremblingly.

……

It wasn't until the old man's figure disappeared around the corner that the little boy reacted.

"Gee~"

The child ghost screamed and looked panicked.

The old man is gone?

why?
Obviously it's still here.

And a horrible human being.

The child ghost subconsciously wanted to chase in the direction the old man left.

However, a figure blocked its way forward.

It was Xiao Xiao.

The child ghost suddenly retreated.

His face looked extremely ugly, and he seemed almost frightened.

Without hesitation, it turned around and tried to escape.

But he bumped into something.

The little ghost looks up.

He suddenly took a breath of cold air.

It's it!

It was the monster that almost took its life before!
Its horrified expression was reflected in the other's scarlet eyes.

The little ghost fell to the ground with a thud.

It suddenly had a premonition that it might not be able to escape today.

It couldn't help but look back and look in the direction the old man had just left.

Its only hope... is gone.

As expected, humans cannot be trusted at all.

The little ghost felt resentful.

"You've betrayed Grandma Zhang's trust."

Xiao Xiao's words startled the little ghost.

Did it just speak?
Also, what did this human mean?
Obviously, the one who left it behind was... grandma.

It was grandma who betrayed its trust.

Xiao Xiao didn't explain.

There is actually no point in saying this now.

"More is more."

"give it to you."

Having said that, Xiao Xiao was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly his expression moved, and he just avoided the hand of the child ghost that was grabbing his trouser leg.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the child ghost.

The little ghost didn't care about his mistake.

Because my goal has been achieved.

The human paused.

It looked up at Xiao Xiao.

“Chichi~Chichi~Chichi…”

The child ghost looked excited.

It doesn't want to die yet.

It begged this human to let it go.

To this end, it is willing to do anything.

It even cast its pleading gaze upon Philip.

We are all monsters, is this monster going to watch someone die without helping?
Can't you just give him a break?

Why can this monster stay around humans without any harm, but it has to become the target to be solved?
unfair!
They are obviously monsters.
If it could survive by surrendering to this human, it would be willing to do so. There was nothing it would not do to survive.

and so……

The little ghost looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly.

Let it go.

……

Xiao Xiao was not moved by the child ghost's eloquent and moving plea.

The ghost looked at the little boy with calm eyes.

The overly calm expression appeared a bit cold in the little ghost's eyes.

The little ghost's excitement was like being poured with a large basin of cold water.

There are ice cubes in it.

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

The glimmer in the child ghost's eyes was almost extinguished.

But there were still some slight sparks crackling.

It thought of its grandmother who had just left.

At this moment, it didn't have time to wonder or get angry about its grandmother abandoning it.

It just wants to grasp every hope of survival.

“Chichi~Chichi~Chichi…”

grandmother!

I promised to stay with my grandma until the end.

Grandma won't live long.

I promised my grandma that I would stay with her in her final moments.

I can't go back on my word!

……

Xiao Xiao squatted down.

A bright light shone in the little ghost's eyes.

It knew that grandma would make this human change his mind!

……

"If you behave yourself, I can let you accompany Grandma Zhang for the last period of time."

Xiao Xiao's words made the little ghost's eyes flicker.

It tried hard to understand the meaning of this sentence.

So, human language is really difficult to understand.

The child ghost was irritable and somewhat uneasy.

"But you didn't."

Xiao Xiao didn't play around with the monster.

The child ghost was stunned by his tangled expression.

"I came to you after so many days because I considered that you were seriously injured and would not go out and hurt others again."

"I don't want to alarm Grandma Zhang."

"But-"

Xiao Xiao's mouth curved up, but there was no smile in his eyes, "I didn't expect that your patience is really not that good."

"If I hadn't heard about the child's high fever when I came here today, then I would have agreed to your request just now for Grandma Zhang's sake."

"What happened to the child cannot be undone."

"But Grandma Zhang's case is different."

"I hope Grandma Zhang can be happier in her last days."

"But……"

"You don't think so."

The child ghost opened his mouth.

Then he shook his head vigorously.

no.

It wants to accompany grandma.

它-
"You're just trying to survive now."

Xiao Xiao's words stunned the little ghost.

Well, it wants to live.

What's wrong with this?

Does this conflict with its desire to accompany grandma?

Only as long as it is alive can it accompany grandma.

It doesn't understand.

Is this human fooling it?

This thought suddenly flashed through the little ghost's mind.

It’s just like grandma left inexplicably.

These humans are all the same.

The little ghost lowered his head, trying to hide the gloomy look on his face.

"Do you know why Grandma Zhang left?"

Xiao Xiao did not miss the change in the monster's expression.

The child ghost seemed unresponsive.

However, Xiao Xiao saw the momentary surprise on the monster's face.

"She always thought you were a victim."

"As a result, she discovered that you were the perpetrator."

"She protected a murderer."

"Especially when you were living at Grandma Zhang's house and you went out to commit crimes again."

"What do you think Grandma Zhang will think?"

"Have you ever thought about how Grandma Zhang feels?"

The most innocent person in the whole incident is Grandma Zhang.

Why does this monster look like it's been treated unfairly?
Does it know what it has done and how much harm it has caused to Grandma Zhang?
