Chapter 420 Cancer
Can't you see it?

Xiao Xiao did not have any regrets, but just sighed. This child was just like Xiao Jin, and could only see certain monsters.

Just when I was about to say something, I noticed the child's eyes suddenly widened.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, swallowed the words that were about to come out, and looked at the child with some interest in his eyes.

This is... did you see it?
……

Guo Shan rubbed his blurry eyes hard with his hands.

In the clear picture, the two shades of silver and blue are clearly visible.

Just above his shoulder where Master Xiao had pointed before.

what is this?
The child blinked a few times, and then blinked a few more times.

He wiped his eyes with his sleeve again.

Is this really not an illusion?

He seemed to see a vague shadow?

……

"Did you see anything?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the child's face full of shock and confusion, and couldn't help but put one hand on his chin. He blinked at the child mischievously and asked in a somewhat mysterious tone.

The child also blinked subconsciously.

As if influenced by Xiao Xiao's tone, or perhaps because his discovery surprised him too much, Guo Shan also answered in a low voice, with a feeling of underground party members, "I saw two points of silver-blue light."

"besides-"

The child was a little hesitant. He closed his eyes tightly, then opened them, then closed them tightly again, then opened them again, and repeated this cycle several times.

"besides-"

Xiao Xiao asked with some curiosity in his low voice.

There was a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.

"Also, there seems to be something about this size." Guo Shan stretched out his hand and gestured, his expression serious and solemn, "Here."

Guo Shan pointed at Xiao Xiao's shoulder.

“Is this the shape?”

The child was somewhat uncertain as he sketched with his hands what he saw, and from time to time he stopped what he was doing, opened his eyes wide and came closer to trace it carefully.

After all, in his eyes, it was just something with blurred lines, looming and almost making people think it was an illusion.

……

Xiao Xiao tilted his head and looked towards his shoulder.

Feifei glared at the child's hands that were gesturing around his body with some displeasure, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Although the child's hand did not touch its body, it was almost the same.

This feeling of neither touching nor not touching is very uncomfortable.

It wanted to slap the child's hand away with its claws.

Noticing Xiao Xiao's gaze, Feifei looked at him somewhat aggrievedly.

……

There was a faint smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

He silently comforted the somewhat restless and impatient Feifei, and signaled it not to scare the child.

Feifei blinked aggrievedly.

……

"Ouch~"

Taotie's eyes under his armpits narrowed and his big mouth on his face opened wide.

The expression of gloating couldn't be more obvious.

As if afraid that Feifei couldn't see its expression at the moment, Taotie leaned down, stretched out its claws to touch its chin, and stared with interest at Feifei, who was made quite "embarrassed" by a human cub.

……

Feifei gave him a cold and sharp look.

Then he closed his eyes, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

……

However, Guo Shan didn't gesture for long before he withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly.

Looking at Master Xiao, who had been watching his movements with a smile on his face, a light blush appeared on his pale cheeks.

……

Guo Shan twisted his hands together vigorously, "Well, that, I really...saw it."

"That's my friend." Xiao Xiao suddenly said.

"what?"

Guo Shan was a little confused.

"What you see is my friend."

Xiao Xiao blinked at Guo Shan.

Guo Shan opened his mouth to speak, but his words were stuck.

friend?

So he was not dazzled, nor did he see it wrong, there was indeed something on Master Xiao's shoulder.

However, he couldn't see it clearly and only felt a sense of illusion, like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

He suddenly thought of something, and the blush that had just appeared on his face faded away completely in an instant, revealing a frightening paleness.

"That's a monster?"

Guo Shan's voice was soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

But his voice was extremely hoarse and trembling.

……

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao suppressed the smile on his face, looked at Guo Shan deeply, and without much hesitation, told the truth.

He knew that after the incident with the parasitic vine monster, Guo Shan hated and feared monsters to the core.

The monsters represented by the parasitic vine monster have become a cancer in Guo Shan's heart.

It can't be touched or removed.

……

But such a cancer is too heavy for a child.

Any child can have things he hates. He may hate eating green peppers or radishes. He may throw a tantrum or even cry loudly about them.

However, the only thing that a child should not have is hatred.

……

"Guo Shan."

Xiao Xiao's expression was serious and gentle, "Don't be afraid."

"I will protect you."

I will protect you.

These words kept echoing in Guo Shan's mind.

He was a little at a loss, but his heart, which was filled with anxiety and fear, gradually calmed down.

The inexplicable grievance made his eyes wet again.

In fact, he had always wanted to ask for help. He didn't want such a strong child who had never complained about his single-parent family to long for the presence of his father for the first time.

He was terribly frightened, but no one gave him shelter.

No one saw his terrified and helpless eyes, and no one heard his increasingly hoarse and desperate cries.

He watched himself getting weaker day by day, and fell into a situation of "isolated and helpless", but he could do nothing.

He could only allow himself to be slowly devoured by the monster in his body.

Even as a child he understood what hate was.

He hates this monster!
How could he not hate this monster?
It destroyed everything he had and threatened his family to make him surrender.

But as he was too weak, he could only bury this hatred deep in his heart, letting it accumulate and penetrate deep into his bones.

He thought that this hatred would eventually rot in his heart.

This hatred will follow him until his death.

However, the parasitic vine monster died.

He watched the parasitic vine monster tear into pieces, the fishy juice splashing everywhere, and even a few dark red spots fell on his clothes.

He wanted to laugh, but he cried instead.

His hatred has come to an end? !
No, when he saw the monster-like existence again, and when he confirmed the monster's identity from Master Xiao, the hatred in his heart surged again.

Damn monster!
Damn monster!
All monsters should die!
Maybe I have hated it for too long and too deeply.

Even though the target of hatred is dead, that hatred has already permeated his heart for too long, mixed with his blood, flowed through his limbs and bones, and became a cancer in his heart.

For a while, he was unable to completely eradicate it.
