Listening to the old man who kept chanting "I don't want to die" as if he was under self-hypnosis, Xiao Xiao turned his head and looked at the monster beside him.
"Do you regret it?"
Saved an ungrateful human who wanted his own life.
Zhi lowered his eyes and glanced at the old man, then withdrew his gaze and fell on Xiao Xiao.
This is a strange human being.
Not only can he see it, but there are monsters following him.
It is a little curious about this human being.
In response to his question, it shook its head in confusion.
"Why?"
It wanted to save that human being, so it did so.
Just out of its own thoughts.
The human was not asking it to save him, nor did it think of getting anything from that human.
It only saved one human being who could see it.
That's all.
...
The voice that seemed to ring in his mind surprised Xiao Xiao for a moment.
Immediately, he was stunned by Zhizuku's rhetorical question. Before he could answer, Zhizuku's voice sounded in his mind again.
Showing slight confusion.
"What did that human mean when he said he could continue to live after eating my flesh?"
"He's sick, very sick."
"He thinks that as long as he eats your flesh, his illness will be cured and he can continue to live."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Zhi, without deliberately turning up the volume.
He knew that this monster could hear it.
...
Tsumugi's head drooped a bit.
"But-"
"My flesh cannot cure human diseases."
...
"Are you talking to the Turtles?"
The old man's voice suddenly sounded.
His face was full of confusion, and there was also a hint of unconscious vigilance.
However, he only heard what the young man said, but did not hear any sound made by the turtle.
He was actually not sure whether this young man was talking to himself?
However, the other party's expression really didn't look like he was performing a one-man show.
The young man was explaining to the turtle.
The young man told the Turtle that he had evil intentions for it!
The old man's face was ugly, his eyes bulged, and he glared at this strange young man who had appeared out of nowhere, "Why are you talking so much?!"
"You're also here to help me catch the turtle, right?"
Although he didn't know this young man, the people who went out to sea at this time were all people who helped him catch the turtles.
This young man must have been on that same boat.
"Do you want any more reward?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Hurry up and do what I just said."
...
Xiao Xiao tilted his head slightly, and the water rippled, causing his eyes to change with light and shadow, "But even if you eat its meat, your illness will not be cured."
"Even so, do you still want to catch it?"
...
"..."
The old man's mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't spit out even a single word for a while.
"......how do you know?"
The old man suddenly reacted, "How do you know its meat is useless? How do you know its meat can't cure my disease?"
"It's a magical turtle!"
...
"It told me."
Compared to the agitated old man, Xiao Xiao looked extra calm in both his demeanor and tone.
"Also, even though it looks strange, it's not a turtle."
"It's a monster."
Every word Xiao Xiao said seemed to be nailed into the old man's heart, and the old man's whole body was shaking even more violently.
"That's what it told you?"
The old man's voice was trembling and hoarse, but the two words he spat out were almost broken.
"monster?!"
...
"No, you lied to me!"
The old man's eyes widened with a stubborn look on his face, "Why did it tell you?"
"I didn't even hear it make a sound!"
"I don't care if it's a turtle or a monster, it's mine!"
"yes-"
The old man's voice stopped suddenly.
He was almost startled by the sudden voice in his mind and let go of his hands and feet holding the turtle's tail.
...
"Hu~hu~"
The old man gasped for air.
What happened just now almost scared him to death.
His heart is beating very fast now.
what happened?
Why did a voice suddenly ring in his head?
That voice... said what?!
The old man slowly realized what the voice just said.
"I told you about the human being in front of you."
...
"My flesh is of no use to your disease."
The rich and somewhat distant voice sounded in the old man's mind again.
The old man was not frightened anymore.
Compared with the amazing things about how this magical turtle could actually talk and how it spoke in his mind, the content of what this magical turtle said concerned him even more.
The same thing was told to him by this young man before.
He doesn't believe it.
Now, the turtle told him that the meat of the turtle, which he had always believed in, could cure his illness and save his life...
It's all his wishful thinking!
It's his whim!
No, he doesn't believe it!
"You lied to me!"
The old man shouted loudly.
"You're lying to me!"
"You just don't want me to catch you!"
"You just want me to give up the idea of catching you!"
...
In response to the old man's hysteria, Chizuku just flicked his tail.
The old man felt a sudden burst of strength.
Without any resistance, his body flew out.
...
The old man ran into a school of fish.
The fish were frightened by the sudden black shadow and fled in all directions.
The scene was a little chaotic for a while.
However, due to the blocking effect of the fish school, the old man finally stopped.
The old man who stabilized his body was shocked and confused.
He didn't understand how the turtle's strength became so great.
It was clear that no matter how the turtle swung its tail before, he could hold the turtle's tail tightly and not let go.
...
"I don't need to lie to you."
Tsumugi's calm voice echoed in the old man's mind.
The old man instantly recovered from his daze because he was thrown away.
If the turtle had said this to him in the first place, the old man would not and would not believe it.
But now, the old man's lips trembled and his cheeks trembled.
Why doesn't he believe it?
The turtle had just told him with his actions. How could he hold the turtle's tail if the turtle was not willing?
Moreover, the young man also said that the reason why he could breathe in the water was thanks to the help of the turtle.
Such a powerful turtle, why do you need to panic with him?
...
"You just don't want me to catch you!"
"You just want me to give up the idea of catching you!"
...
Thinking of what he had yelled at the turtle before, the old man felt that his face was burning badly even in the sea.
How ignorant does he have to say that?
Why should the Turtle be wary of his evil intentions?
If it weren't for the turtle helping him, he wouldn't even be able to get close to the turtle.
...
The old man covered his face.
For a long time, "Haha~"
The old man's dull and hoarse laughter came from under his palm.
Although it was laughter, it was more like crying.
...
"Haha~haha~"
The old man smiled intermittently, and his already stooped back became even more curved.
