"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.
