"Before your brother got into a car accident, this special friend of his was targeted by someone with evil intentions."
"The other party is very powerful."
"Your brother, in order to protect his friend from being hurt..."
"Finally I came up with this solution."
Xiao Xiao deliberately slowed down his speaking speed to give the old man more time to understand.
"Your brother hid his friend."
…
"Hidden in the jade ball?"
The old man felt as if he was listening to a fantasy.
What kind of friend... can be hidden in a jade ball?
Bug? Butterfly?
Whatever it is, after all these years...
"Is it still alive?"
In fact, this sentence is just what the old man said to himself.
Because he knew the answer.
No wonder my brother had to tell him these two words in the end...
He was asked to open the jade ball and release the creatures inside.
As a result, he disappointed his brother.
A friend that my brother values …
Regret suddenly filled the old man's heart.
…
but-
"Still alive."
…
The old man looked shocked.
The tone of his voice changed slightly, "Still alive?!"
How can it be?
"What the hell is it?!"
Isn’t it an insect like a unicorn or a butterfly?
If it were them, how could these insects survive until now?
If not for them, what other creature can hide in a small jade ball?
The old man doesn't know.
…
"It's a monster."
Xiao Xiao seemed to have just said two ordinary words.
The old man seemed to have suffered a huge shock.
"Monster, monster?!"
The old man screamed.
But the hoarse voice was actually not as loud as he thought.
…
Xiao Xiao narrated the story of the old man's brother and the monster.
…
As Xiao Xiao told the story, the intense emotions on the old man's face became less and less intense.
The suspicion in his eyes gradually disappeared.
He naturally knows the best about his brother.
This young man said a lot of things, and even recited what he said back then... without a trace of deviation.
…
"...It's really in the jade ball?"
The old man was silent for a while before speaking again.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Monster...ah..."
My brother actually has a monster friend next to him...
"I do not even know……"
"I never found out..."
"wrong."
The old man shook his head, "I can't see it, can I?"
The old man looked at the young man in front of him.
Xiao Xiao nodded.
…
"I can't see it...Xiaorong can't see it either..."
"Only my brother saw it..."
The old man murmured.
"Monster..."
"Is it okay?"
The old man thought of what the young man said just now.
"It's good."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I just stayed in there for too long and figured it out."
That's why some people heard its voice.
…
"yes."
The old man couldn't help but smile, "It's been a long time."
He has long since transformed from a vibrant young man into a gray-haired old man.
"It is my fault."
"If I hadn't been too cautious because it was the jade ball left by my brother..."
Maybe through constant exploration, he could open the jade ball earlier.
The monsters inside can also come out sooner.
…
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "You don't have to blame yourself."
"You can't open that jade ball."
…
"……ah?"
The old man was puzzled.
He can't open that jade ball?
…
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched slightly.
"If there is nothing special about it, how can this jade ball protect monsters?"
The old man was startled.
Also...yes.
If the jade ball can be easily opened by someone, what protective effect does it have?
"Then brother..."
The old man wanted to speak but stopped.
…
"He can open it."
Xiao Xiao explained, "The moment the monster enters the jade ball and the jade ball is closed, the protection mechanism of the jade ball is activated."
"Only the person who closed the jade ball at that time can open the jade ball again."
"If others want to open it..."
"It's going to take some brute force."
Xiao Xiao said it lightly.
The old man was stunned.
Brute force?
Could it be opened by brute force?
…
"Your brother probably doesn't know this, so he hopes you can release the monster from the jade ball for him."
Xiao Xiao's words interrupted the old man's chaotic thoughts.
He reached out and pressed his temple.
Knowing too many things at once, his head felt a little swollen.
"...What a powerful jade ball..."
He was quiet.
The function sounds very smart.
However, such a powerful jade ball...
"Where can my brother get this jade ball?"
"It was given to your brother by a monk."
Xiao Xiao thought, as expected, most of the masters were monks and Taoists.
…
"Monk?"
The old man was a little surprised and a little surprised.
After all, when it comes to masters, monks are one of the must-have images.
"I don't know which temple the eminent monk is from..."
The old man looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly.
If he could know, he would like to see that eminent monk.
Thank you to the other party for lending a helping hand to my brother at that time.
The elder brother remembered his monster friend until the end, which shows the deep friendship between the elder brother and the monster friend.
Knowing that someone has evil intentions towards his monster friend, my brother must be very worried and uneasy.
At that time, I didn't realize it at all...
The old man was annoyed at his carelessness and slowness.
I am also angry at my brother for hiding it.
Although he also knew that even if his brother told him, he would not be able to help him in any way...
…
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
"have no idea."
"Back then, your brother went to many temples and temples in order to find ways to protect monsters."
"He went there alone."
"He didn't let the monsters go with him because he wanted to protect the monsters and prevent them from taking advantage of him."
"So, no one knows which temple he got the jade ball in except himself."
All Yu Niao knew was that he got the jade ball from a monk in the temple.
…
"That's it..."
The light in the old man's eyes dimmed.
"Too……"
The old man smiled.
Although he was a little regretful, he quickly looked away, "There is nothing we can do about it..."
That happened so many years ago.
It is simply impossible to find it now.
…
"Thank you, young man."
The old man's previously somewhat stooped back became straight.
"You solved my many years of doubts."
"I can finally stop caring about that."
"When I see my brother down there, I can feel confident."
…
The look on the old man's face was very relaxed.
"God really treats me well..."
"The old man almost thought he would have to hold on to this doubt until the end."
…
"Old man, you don't seem to have any doubts at all?"
Xiao Xiao had a smile on his face.
Apart from the initial surprise and disbelief, the old man naturally accepted everything he said...
