The kid also felt the trembling coming from his hands.
It raised its eyes and met the old man's gaze.
"child……"
The old man shut up and took a deep breath.
Her voice trembled a little.
She once had a son and a grandson.
But they are all gone.
Because of a plane crash.
Her grandson was about the same age as this child when he left.
She is a very cute child who likes to cling to her.
Probably because she has been taking care of the child since he was born.
As soon as she can't see her, the child will softly call her "grandma" and then look for her everywhere.
That time, the child's parents rarely found time to take time off to take the child to play somewhere farther away.
The two old guys thought for a while but still didn't go along.
This saves the two young people from not only taking care of the younger one, but also the older one.
They also want their children to develop a relationship with their parents.
But they didn't expect that their children and grandchildren would be separated from them.
The white-haired man gave away the black-haired man.
...
For a long time, they did not recover.
Fortunately, they still have each other.
However, it was obvious that she had always been in poor health, but the old man left before her.
The illness came like a mountain, but within a few days, the old man closed his eyes in front of her.
In the end, the old man could no longer make a sound, but she knew that he was saying sorry to her.
During that time, there was never a day when her eyes were not red.
She wanted to go with the old man countless times.
However, her body managed to hold on...
...
She fell in love with feeding cats.
Then one day, she met this child.
The child reminded her of her grandson.
Although they are completely different.
But she still slowly regarded this child as her grandson.
The child's body has never grown, which makes her feel that her grandson's time has stopped in the year of the plane crash.
She thought the child was a grandson and couldn't bear to leave her as a grandmother, so she changed her appearance and stayed with her.
After all, her grandson is so clingy to his grandma.
...
That year, she had to coax and coax the child willingly to go out to play with his parents, as a family of three.
In the days that followed, she regretted it countless times.
The child didn't want to leave her, so she should have suggested not to go to such a far place at that time. The child was too young and would be scared of flying, so they should choose a closer scenic spot to play.
If she did this, would everything be different?
...
Her life is no different from other people's lives. It has sweetness and bitterness.
But there was really too much suffering in her life, and it was too bitter.
Now, the old man's eyes are slightly red. Is she going to lose her grandson again?
"Did you...really kill those children?"
The old man finally asked this question.
The kid blinked his eyes.
He just stared at the old man blankly.
The old man knew that the child understood her.
But the old man didn't know, can monsters speak human language?
Since he looks so human, he should be able to speak human language, right?
It seems like the human-looking monsters in TV dramas can speak human languages.
However, the old man thought about it and realized that she had been spending a lot of time with this child.
In her impression, she seemed to have never heard this child speak.
She was the one who was talking all along.
The child always listens to her quietly.
...
"But...what about those kids?"
The old man suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "Didn't you say that this child is here to increase his companions?"
The old man has almost accepted Xiao Xiao's statement.
"But over the years, I haven't seen any other children except this child."
"This kid has always been alone."
"Does it mean..."
The old man's eyes lit up with a light called hope.
"no."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
His eyes were flat and fell on the monster, but its body trembled slightly.
"The kid wants to increase his companions."
"However, there are only very few cases where those dead children can become its companions."
"So, brats are always looking for companions."
"Because I can't find it."
"And those children who could not become its companions lost their lives because of the high fever that persisted."
"Of course, not all children."
"Some children are more resistant."
"Some children were sent to the hospital in time and left behind."
"They regained their health."
"In other people's eyes, these kids just have a cold."
"And some children with weak resistance or children who have been neglected will not be so lucky."
"You don't see its companion..."
Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from the monster and looked at the old man, "It's not because it didn't do it."
"But because it didn't work out."
...
"this......"
The old man opened his mouth but was speechless.
Is that so?
The little hope in the old man's heart was like a bubble in the sun, but it dissipated with the slightest touch.
She turned to look at the kid.
Watched steadily.
It's not the familiar look of a kid.
The little ghost likes the way grandma looks at it.
It's different from how humans looked at it before.
Although the way grandma looks at it now is different from the way other humans see it.
No, it seems to be somewhat similar...
Even children and ghosts can't tell the difference.
Because grandma's expression is too complicated now.
Humans are so troublesome.
The kid frowned.
It couldn't quite understand what grandma was thinking at this time.
This makes it a little irritating.
...
"Is what he said true?"
The old man finally spoke.
Although she almost believed Xiao Xiao's words in her heart.
However, she still wanted to hear what the kid had to say.
she does not know......
In this situation, she didn't know what she should do.
Maybe by asking this, she just wanted more time to calm down.
"Is what he said true?"
The old man asked again.
"You are a monster."
"You will hurt the child."
"No......"
"You've hurt a lot of kids."
The old man covered his face with his hands.
The tone is weak.
Elderly people who have lost their children prematurely know the pain of losing a child.
It really hurts.
She never thought that the child she regarded as her grandson... she thought it was God's pity... who sent this child to her to accompany the lonely old man...
Is it all her own fault?
That's ridiculous.
This child...
This monster...
The old man looked stunned.
...
"Ji~"
The kid is confused...but scared?
Some of it is not very clear.
It's afraid.
It knows.
Ever since it saw this mysterious and powerful human being again, it could not help but become frightened.
