Chapter 2258 The dark clouds disperse
The original purpose of the Demon Master Alliance was to protect.
Protects humans who can see monsters and are regarded as aliens by others.
Children who can see monsters are naturally the targets of their protection.
However, even though the Demon Master Alliance is powerful, it cannot cover everything.
There are always kids like Wei Xinhai.
Not discovered by the Demon Master Alliance,
Don't know anything about your own specialness.
He was at a loss to understand what he had suffered.
By the time the ignorant children grow up and understand everything, the damage has already been done.
……
"Ah, sorry."
The man suddenly reacted, "Did I say too much?"
"Sorry..."
"I haven't talked to anyone for a long time..."
To be precise, except for the most basic communication, he has not talked about his own affairs, his own thoughts, his own emotions and other personal contents with others for a long time...
For a moment, he was a little carried away.
……
"Sorry..."
The man murmured.
Some uneasiness arose in my heart.
As a stranger, he seemed too rude.
He said everything in one breath.
They are all his own negative emotions...
……
"Do you feel better?"
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The man was stunned.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded honestly.
He felt really comfortable.
The whole person feels a lot more relaxed.
……
"That's good."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved, "It seems that my suggestion is very good."
"Proper talking is necessary."
"It's easy to get into trouble if you keep everything in your heart."
……
The man pursed his lips.
"...Thank you."
……
"I'm just a listener."
Xiao Xiao looked gentle.
It's all in the past.
All he could do... was listen.
……
"That's enough."
The corner of the man's mouth raised a slight arc.
From the past to the present, what he needs is someone who is willing to listen to him.
As if feeling a little embarrassed, the man turned his head and looked out the window.
He showed his embarrassed side in front of people younger than himself... He didn't feel anything when he said it at the time, but now he feels a little uncomfortable after realizing it.
The next second, the man was stunned.
He stared blankly at his face reflected in the glass window.
He hadn't looked at his face in the mirror for a long time.
The face on the glass window... was a little strange to him, and a little... nostalgic.
It was different from the last face he remembered seeing.
Not so gloomy.
His brows were not furrowed so tightly.
There was no pale complexion visible on the glass... unusual.
Just an ordinary person's face.
There is no doubt about the mental state of the owner of this face.
He reached out and touched the corners of his eyes.
His eyes...are they smiling?
How long?
What he saw in these eyes was not fear, gloom, or confusion, but...a faint smile.
……
The man's body suddenly trembled.
His fingertips were slightly burned at the corners of his eyes.
He suddenly withdrew his hand.
After a few seconds, he reached out and pressed the corners of his eyes.
Something trickled down his fingers.
……
The man reached out to touch the tissue on the table in a panic.
He didn't dare to turn his head.
The way I look now is so embarrassing.
……
Um?
The tissue handed to him made him stunned.
The man who realized something immediately thanked him and took the tissue.
……
Although his embarrassment had been seen, the man still wiped his face carelessly before turning his head.
A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
"Classmate Xiao..."
"Ahem~"
The hoarse voice made the man cough violently.
Suddenly, he thought of a question.
"Classmate Xiao...don't you have the same worries as me?"
Classmate Xiao can also see monsters. But compared to his embarrassment, classmate Xiao was obviously much more at ease.
He... was envious.
……
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "I'm different from you."
"I didn't see monsters until I was in college."
As an adult, he will naturally not be as helpless as a child.
……
"Huh?"
The man was stunned.
“You only saw it in college?”
"I thought-"
The man paused.
He remembered that he didn't see the monster in the first place.
No.
He always thought he met a monster that year.
And the ability to see has been with him since birth.
So...
In fact, was that the year he saw the monster...?
This ability...
"Isn't it natural?"
The man murmured.
……
"It's natural."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I just don't know when it will appear and when it will disappear."
……
"Disappear?"
The man opened his mouth wide, "Will it disappear again?!"
……
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "I could see it when I was a child, but maybe I won't be able to see it when I grow up."
"You can see it today, but you may not see it tomorrow, next year, or in a few years."
“Everyone’s situation will be different.”
……
"That's it..."
The man's eyes were a little dazed, "This is the first time I know..."
"It turns out..."
"Will I still be unable to see it?"
……
"...There's no way to know when you can't see it, right?"
The man confirmed.
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao tilted his head, and the sunlight happened to shine on his face.
"There's no way of knowing."
……
"It's really baffling."
The man rubbed his temples.
"I saw it inexplicably."
"I can't see it for some reason."
I always feel..."...so willful..."
The man said vaguely.
It has obviously made his life a mess...
……
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
yes.
Very willful indeed.
Whether it's for people who like this ability or for people who hate it.
……
The man looked at the chocolate milk tea in front of him in trance.
I always thought I would hide my specialness for a lifetime... but I was told that this specialness might disappear one day...
To be honest, his mood was a bit complicated.
He was naturally relieved.
Just...except for a sigh of relief...
There are some other emotions...
For a moment, he couldn't tell what the emotion was.
……
The man shook his head.
Get rid of the busy thoughts in my mind.
Why do you think so much?
Seeing... or not being invisible was never something he could decide.
All he could do was accept it.
……
"Gulu~Gulu~"
The man picked up the chocolate milk tea and drank it in one gulp.
He didn't know whether it was because the coffee shop's craftsmanship was particularly good, or because his mood had changed, but he just felt that he had never tasted such delicious chocolate milk tea before.
"Bang~"
The bottom of the cup made a crisp sound when it hit the table.
……
"Classmate Xiao."
The man smiled sincerely.
Even though his expression was still not clear enough, compared to before entering the coffee shop, the man felt that the heavy dark clouds in his heart had dispersed and he felt much brighter.
