Chapter 417: Crying Guo Shan

A large amount of spiritual power appeared in Xiao Xiao's dantian.

Xiao Xiao's eyes became fierce.

"Crack~"

"grumble-"

The howl came to an abrupt end as the parasitic vine was crushed to pieces by Xiao Xiao!
……

The parasitic vine broke into pieces, and the juice that splashed out was actually dark red, similar to human blood!

An overly sweet and slightly sour smell of blood wafted out.

This made Xiao Xiao frowned in displeasure.

……

"Ayu, thank you."

The gold in Xiao Xiao's eyes faded, and he said lightly in his heart.

"My Lord, this is the meaning of my existence.

Help the law enforcers to the best of your ability and meet all of their orders and requirements.

That is its charge.

……

Because A Yu had been sleeping all the time, most of the spiritual power converted by the Demon Mirror was swallowed up by it unknowingly.

Now that it has awakened, it can transfer its spiritual power to the law enforcer when needed.

……

However, although A Yu was able to appear in front of Xiao Xiao, it does not mean that it is safe.

It was badly injured.

A lot of energy is required.

The monsters that Xiao Xiao had let the Demon Mirror devour before were just a drop in the bucket, and only allowed it to accumulate a little energy for awakening.

After its last appearance, it would not be able to condense into a physical form in front of Xiao Xiao again unless it had more energy replenished.

After all, the cost of transforming into a human form, that is, energy, is very high.

……

In fact, even telepathy like this requires a lot of energy.

Therefore, in order to save energy and recover from injuries, A Yu would only speak when Xiao Xiao asked questions.

Rather than speaking out on their own initiative.

It was afraid that it might fall asleep again.

……

However, even so, as long as the law enforcer needs it, it will not refuse.

However, after drawing out this spiritual power, even the most basic telepathy became a bit difficult for A Yu.

Fortunately, it has not completely lost consciousness.

……

Xiao Xiao could feel A Yu's weakness, and also knew that A Yu was just trying hard to maintain a little clarity of mind at this moment.

……

Ever since A Yu showed up, he felt that his connection with Yaojian had become closer.

He could sense A Yu's condition.

You can also clearly see the demon in your body.

It was suspended in his dantian, emitting a hazy silver light, with thin lines of blood flowing through it.

……

After all, A Yu is still too weak.

This little bit of spiritual power almost caused it to suffer serious injuries.

However, isn’t there ready-made “rations” right across the street?
Looking at the vines scattered all over the ground, Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up in a cold arc.

……

"More, eat it."

"Wang~"

Duoji, who looked like a wolfdog, appeared beside Xiao Xiao, wagging his white tail.

……

The large monster crouched down and rubbed against Xiao Xiao's legs, then its blood-red eyes revealed a ferocious and greedy cold light.

It stood up, gently shook the hair all over its body, and walked with its nimble limbs and light steps to a broken vine.

Duo immediately lowered his head and grinned, revealing his sharp white fangs.

Soon, the sound of chewing was heard, and occasionally a strange sharp sound was faintly heard.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the crying child, and the coldness on his face quickly faded away. His golden eyes turned back to a gentle black.

……

Xiao Xiao took a step forward, squatted down, opened his arms and hugged Guo Shan in his arms.

He patted the child's back gently.

"Cry it out."

For this child, the most important thing he should do now is to cry wildly and unrestrainedly.

……

"Wow~"

Xiao Xiao's words seemed to break some shackles, and Guo Shan finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, perhaps because he was not used to crying without any inhibitions, even if he cried, it was a thin, unclear cry, almost like a sob, like a wounded little animal, curled up and licking its wounds.

It was nothing like other children who cried so loudly.

……

Even though his face showed no expression, Xiao Xiao's look was incredibly gentle.

There was a hint of pity between his brows.

Even wearing thick winter clothes, it still hurts to hold the child in my arms.

The hand that pats the back can clearly feel the child's steep shoulder blades and the distinct spine.

This child is so thin that it's frightening.

……

Guo Shan cried so hard that he was out of breath. His eyes went blank and even his brain seemed to be in a trance.

He just felt that liquid was constantly flowing out of the corners of his eyes, and it seemed that it would never stop flowing.

The air was icy cold, but the tears that flowed were almost scalding hot, giving Guo Shan the illusion that the corners of his eyes were burning.

……

But the heavy, long-suppressed feeling in my heart gradually lightened up.

It seemed that the flowing tears also brought out the layers of mud and gravel accumulated in the heart.

Guo Shan only felt that there was light ahead in the darkness.

The light grew brighter and brighter, clearly stinging his eyes so much that he couldn't stop crying, but he was reluctant to even blink.

……

Guo Shan couldn't remember how long it had been since he had cried like this.

When he was first entangled by the parasitic vine monster, he naturally cried, and more than once.

Even though he is stronger and braver than children from two-parent families because he grew up in a single-parent family, he is still just a child in elementary school.

At that time, he didn't know how many times he had cried. He could only hide under the quilt and cry with his mouth covered, almost suffocating in pain.

For a while his eyes were red, swollen, dry and painful.

He always looks like he's about to cry.

……

However, faced with his mother's incomprehensible tears and the impatient and cold threats of the parasitic vine monster, Guo Shan finally endured it.

The light in his eyes is getting dimmer day by day.

The unspeakable fear and the confusion of not being trusted weigh heavily on a child's fragile heart.

The worsening school life was like the last straw, and he was about to collapse.

He couldn't tell the truth to his classmates.

Because no one will believe it.

He couldn't control his weird, neurotic behavior.

Faced with the gazes of others that changed from concern to confusion, to impatience and suspicion, and finally to disgust and indifference, Guo Shan went from being anxious and at a loss at the beginning to being completely hopeless in the end.

His heart was bleeding.

However, he could only circle around like a trapped beast. Even though he was already bleeding, he still didn't know how to save this situation which was making him more and more desperate.

……

Guo Shan stopped crying.

Because it doesn't work.

No matter how sad he was, his eyes were dry.

It's just heart-wrenching pain.

Maybe I cried too much before.

The skin at the corners of my eyes is broken.

Guo Shan's dark eyes were dim, without stars or moon, without any waves.
