Chapter 380: Another Failure
Xiao Xiao walked slowly on the road.

Wondering how the silver disappeared.

Is there anyone else who can see the silver?

And... took the silver?
After all, if there was no ill intention, it would be impossible that the money has not been returned until today.

……

If he was caught, Xiao Xiao remembered the scene of Yin Zi fighting Qin Yuan. That little monster was not easy to deal with.

It seems that the other party must have some means.

In this case, it would be even harder to find.

……

Xiao Xiao released a few monsters. On the one hand, he wanted them to help in the search. On the other hand, he was also thinking that the man would take the silver away. He wondered if there was any special reason.
If there is... then it can only be said that it is another bad news.

Once such a person hides, it is difficult for others to find him unless he shows up on his own initiative.

However, if the other party took the silver just because he was excited about the prey, then Xiao Xiao had reason to believe that they might lead that guy out.

……

He did the same thing on campus, even in the security room and logistics department.

The monsters toured almost the entire huge Yanda campus.

Unfortunately, no one was found who could see them.

It was not until this moment that Xiao Xiao deeply realized that people who could see monsters were extremely rare.

……

He knew this before.

After all, if he hadn't really seen the monster, he would have thought that everything about monsters was just nonsense.

The so-called legends only exist in novels after all.

You are not a child anymore, so how can you be so naive as to think that everything said in the strange stories is true?
I think kids nowadays don’t believe this anymore, right?
……

But when he was able to see, the world in his eyes changed.

It is no longer so angular and well-reasoned, but has some vague, strange but interesting aspects.

……

Later, he met Wu Ya, Yang Yi, Su Youjin and others. Some of them could only see monsters by chance, and some could only see specific monsters, but no matter what, they all saw monsters.

This gave Xiao Xiao an illusion.

Maybe you can see monsters, even if it is rare, it is not that rare.

……

However, this incident made him realize how ridiculous he was before.

Monsters are creatures in legends.

Being able to see it, perhaps it can really be said that it is a blessing from heaven.

So, in such a big campus, of course, they definitely didn’t meet all the students, teachers, and other school staff. Even so, no one could see them, which was enough to surprise Xiao Xiao.

Only then did he realize how lucky he was to be able to see the monster.

After all, it was a dream I had when I was a child and still ignorant.

He actually realized a dream that was so unrealistic for most people.

It really makes people smile even in their sleep.

……

Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered the words of the old lady he met in Xiangshan before.

The old lady who saw a duck once when she was a student, but has never been able to see one again no matter how much she longed for it.

She told him to cherish his fate with the monster.

Because God might take back this fate at any time.

So before that, don't let this special moment go to waste.

……

The sun always sets very early in winter.

It seemed like just a moment of looking up and down, and the sky had already darkened.

The chill in the air became more biting.

Xiao Xiao looked at the watch on his wrist and it was already past four o'clock.

He looked around. It was an unfamiliar environment, but warm lights had already been turned on in the surrounding buildings.

There are long queues of cars on the street.

From time to time, there were passers-by walking hurriedly around.

……

Nothing? Xiao Xiao looked calm, but his eyes were obscure.

He didn't know how far he had walked, but it was definitely a long enough distance.

He could smell the scent of silver.

If the silver was nearby, he would definitely be able to sense it unless its aura was blocked.

But there was no scent at all.

For a moment, Xiao Xiao was even a little panicked.

……

But when the monsters around him didn't notice anything, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he was a little dazed and felt amused at his own nervousness.

He thought his abilities were weakening, so he could no longer see monsters.

This guess really scared him.

After all, he could inexplicably see monsters.

So, it’s not surprising that one day, he inexplicably couldn’t see monsters again.

He only hoped that day would come later, later.

……

Xiao Xiao walked back much faster than when he came.

When he arrived at the destination, Xiao Xiao was not surprised not to see Su Youjin.

If she was alone, Xiao Xiao thought, Su Youjin might not stop until midnight.

……

Xiao Xiao walked towards the route Su Youjin took.

His steps seemed neither hurried nor slow, but he was actually walking very fast.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, his figure would disappear at the end of the street.

……

It didn't take Xiao Xiao much time to see Su Youjin's figure.

Unlike him, Su Youjin, who could no longer smell the scent of silver, searched very carefully.

No corner was left out.

"Silver, silver..."

The girl's originally clear and cold voice became hoarse and difficult due to her incessant shouting.

Pale skin, cracked lips, the usually delicate girl now looked obviously dishevelled.

However, those eyes were like burning flames, full of persistence and determination.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at Su Youjin quietly for a while.

It was not until Su Youjin was about to be bumped by a pedestrian who was walking hurriedly with his head down that Xiao Xiao took a few steps forward and pulled Su Youjin.

"...Xiao Xiao?"

Su Youjin looked a little dazed and her voice was hoarse.

"Su Youjin, it's late, let's go back."

Xiao Xiao let go of his hand and spoke in a gentle voice.

"I also looked for-" After a while.

Su Youjin, who had just noticed that it was already completely dark, couldn't help but shut up.

She pursed her lips, with a look of reluctance and unwillingness.

She has a cold temperament and looks particularly lonely and unreachable on the streets at night.

……

"Have you found...?"

Su Youjin looked at Xiao Xiao with cautious hope. The beautiful girl tilted her head back, revealing the graceful yet fragile curve of her neck under the scarf.

Xiao Xiao was silent for a while, and finally shook his head.

The light in Su Youjin's eyes suddenly dimmed, and it was frighteningly dim.

"is it?"

"It's okay. I'm really sorry to bother you, Xiao Xiao."

Even though the bitterness of disappointment almost drowned her.

She had a horrible feeling as if she couldn't breathe.
