Chapter 449 Past and Present

This child... maybe... he is really possessed by an evil spirit.

However, this is the temple of the God of Rain, and the child thought he saw a frog...

The middle-aged woman suddenly knelt down in front of the statue of the frog god, resting her forehead on her folded hands, and bowed her head deeply, "Lord Rain God, please bless my child."

The big man was stunned by his wife's actions, but soon he knelt down beside the middle-aged woman, and his head hit the ground with a dull sound.

"Lord Rain God, please bless my child."

……

"Dad, Mom?"

The child's intense emotions were extinguished as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, making a "chi~chi~" sound.

He didn't understand and had no idea how things had suddenly turned out like this?

But I felt intuitively panicked and at a loss.

So strange, really strange.

The child's heart was beating very fast, and the huge roar made him dizzy and made his brain even more confused.

……

The Frog God just watched all this quietly from beginning to end.

When the child first pointed at it and said "big frog", it was indeed somewhat happy.

However, before it could respond, subsequent developments made its heart inexplicably silent.

"Lord Rain God, please bless my child."

But do you really believe in its existence?
Looking at the figure prostrating himself devoutly below, the Frog God suddenly wanted to ask a question.

But perhaps the answer has already been known.

……

"Dad, take the child back to let Third Uncle take a look."

"Ah."

The big man picked up the child who was standing there and walked out with big strides.

The middle-aged woman bowed in the direction of the frog god statue and quickly caught up with the father and son in front.

……

After a brief bustle, the temple returned to peace.

Sunlight streamed in through the gate, illuminating half of the ground.

The Frog God hid in the darkness, but inexplicably felt a bit of coldness.

"Qua~"

……

In the days that followed, the Frog God never saw the child again.

Until the next day of worship, it saw the child.

Compared to the last time we met, he seemed darker and thinner, taller too, with a big smile on his face and a cunning look in his eyes, as if he hadn't changed at all.

However, when the child accidentally met its gaze, he looked away as if he didn't notice anything and laughed quietly with his friends around him.

Then he was slapped on the head by the adults around him.

Looking at the child's grinning face, the Frog God knew that things were different after all.

It can see the contraction of the child's pupils at that moment, and can also detect the child's subsequent stiffness.

Turn a blind eye?

fair enough.

……

When the child followed his parents to worship, the Frog God could clearly hear the child mumbling: "I can't see, I can't see, I didn't see, it's all just my illusion, illusion..."

The frog god suddenly called out, "Quack~"

Then, when it saw the child suddenly look up and then quickly lower his head, looking frightened and embarrassed, it suddenly felt a little happy.

……

Although the child later denied his existence, the frog god affirmed his own existence because of him.

It inexplicably turned into a monster, and for it, which was originally just an ordinary frog, it had too many difficulties to adapt.

Is it always uncontrollably doubting whether it is really alive?

It's obviously dead.

Obviously no one can see it.

……

However, this child made it believe that it was really alive.

Moreover, it is not that no one can see it, there are people who can see it, but there are very few such people. …

Besides, what if I saw it?

The child denied his own "seeing" and also denied its reality.

So, the child wasn’t the one who “saw” it?
……

Later on, the child really couldn't see it anymore.

I wonder if he has successfully deceived himself, or if he has truly lost the ability to see it?

But no matter what the reason is, it doesn’t matter, right?
Because there is only one result.

That child will never again look at it with surprise in his eyes and shout, "Big frog!"

……

It’s such a distant memory.

The Frog God thought he had forgotten it long ago, but he didn't expect that when he just thought about it briefly, everything came back to him vividly as if it happened yesterday. He could even clearly feel his mood at that time.

So, sometimes having a very good memory is not a very pleasant thing for a monster.

……

"猼訑, the frog god."

The clear voice came softly, seeming to carry the warmth and scent of the breeze and sun.

"Mea~"

The monkey jumped for joy.

The sudden vibration brought the frog god back to his senses, and then he saw the human walking towards him.

The memories fade away in an instant, and the world before my eyes becomes extremely clear.

Even though the sky was gloomy, it felt the scene in front of it was so bright that it couldn't help but squint its eyes.

The past is just the past.

As time passed, it finally met a human being who could see it, did not deny its existence, and was willing to interact with it.

It has actually always been lucky, hasn't it?

……

After lunch, Xiao Xiao said goodbye to Zhang Bo and the others in the "numb" eyes of "here we go again" and came to this place that he was already quite familiar with.

He was surprised when the Monkey King and the Frog God appeared at the entrance of the examination room.

However, he had intended to look for them.

He was going home, and he had to say goodbye to these two monsters.

Originally, he was a little worried about the stupid and directionally challenged monster, but now with the Frog God, he felt that he could put his worries aside.

Now, we can find his examination room accurately.

From now on, this monster probably won't get lost easily again.

……

"猼訑."

Xiao Xiao smiled and touched the big horn of the monkey. The monkey curved its big eyes in comfort.

"Little frog."

Xiao Xiao greeted the frog kneeling on top of the monkey's head, with a hint of smile in his voice.

Every time he sees a frog kneeling seriously, his throat feels itchy and he wants to laugh. What should he do?
……

The Frog God did not notice anything unusual about Xiao Xiao, but responded to Xiao Xiao's greeting very seriously.

"Qua~"

Hello, Lord Xiao Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao was stunned by such a formal and respectful address. He couldn't help but smile with a hint of helplessness, "No need to call me Sir."

"Qua~"

Yes, Lord Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao: ...

Is this little frog sure that he didn't do it on purpose?

But looking at the little frog with a serious face, it doesn't seem like that.

Forget it, Xiao Xiao shook his head. He never cared much about the issue of address.

The little frog liked to croak, so he agreed.
