Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5585 Three Minutes of Heat

I found that I couldn't pull the bunny doll out of the child's arms...

The child's mother covered the child and the bunny doll with the quilt.

The child's mother tucked the quilt into the child.

Push the bunny doll's head to the side.

Let your child sleep more comfortably.

……

"Let's go."

After staring at the child for a while, the child's mother stood up and whispered to the man.

……

The man nodded.

……

The child's mother closed the door of the child's room.

Then she sighed unconsciously.

After she said this, the child's mother realized that she had sighed.

She smiled bitterly.

……

The man didn't say anything.

He knew why the child's mother sighed.

He also sighed in his heart.

……

The child's mother walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Her shoulders slumped a little.

"……you say."

After a while, the child's mother looked at the man sitting next to her, "Nana..."

"what's going on?"

It was fine before.

Why suddenly...

Hallucinations occur.

Just as she had told the child before, the mother had confirmed that the shadow was just the child's own hallucination.

Otherwise, how to explain why she and the child’s father didn’t see the black shadow several times?

Especially the last two times...

They are so focused and attentive...

No shadow was seen either.

and……

She just told the child...

When the child saw the shadow, the reactions of other passers-by around him did not show any abnormality.

It's not normal.

Because the shadow doesn't seem to blend in with the crowd.

At least that’s how the kids describe it to them…

The black shadow will definitely attract many people's attention as soon as it appears.

……

Black person.

There was a snake on his body.

How could the appearance of such a person not attract the attention of onlookers?
……

If there are people who are afraid of snakes, they will scream out as soon as they see one.

……

But after their observation, all these should have feedback...

They didn't see it on the passers-by around them.

……

Plus they didn’t see it themselves….
The conclusion drawn from this is ridiculous...

But it is very likely to be the fact.

……

The child has some mental problems.

This causes the child to have hallucinations.

……

Such a real and lasting illusion...

Thinking of the child's unbelievable look...

The child's mother smiled bitterly.

She put her hands to her face.

She is incredible too.

her child...

How do hallucinations occur?
……

"Don't worry too much."

The man put his arm around the woman's shoulders.

"Maybe……"

"It's just temporary."

"you know too……"

"A child."

The man smiled at the woman who was looking at him, "You always act on your whim, but your enthusiasm lasts only three minutes."

"Nana may have seen something recently that made her think of this image..."

Speaking of which...

This image doesn't look like something that a child would have thought up.

A dark fairy tale style?

This is inconsistent with their Nana's usual painting style.

The man twitched the corner of his mouth.

……

"……In a few days……"

The man pursed his lips and said, "Something new has attracted her attention..."

"She shouldn't have this hallucination again."

If I have another hallucination...

The man shook his head slightly.

Let’s talk about it then.

He hoped there would be no new hallucinations.

……

The child's mother was slightly stunned.

What the man said... makes sense.

Children don't hallucinate for no reason.

There must be some opportunity.

Like seeing something or hearing something...

This gave her this illusion. …

Yes.

The child's mother felt a little more relaxed.
“I didn’t even think of that…”

"We should ask children what they have seen, heard or experienced recently..."

She had never thought of approaching it from this angle.

He only wanted to ask the child about the black shadow.

Tell the children that they did not see the shadow, and passers-by did not see the shadow either…

The shadow is just a child's illusion...

……

"Don't worry."

The man gently patted the child's mother on the shoulder.

"Don't push the kid too hard."

“It can easily backfire.”

"The only time children see shadows is when it rains anyway."

"It won't rain for the next week."

"A week has passed..."

The man smiled and said, "Maybe the child has forgotten about it himself."

"Let's not remind him."

……

"Ah."

The child's mother nodded.

"I see."

The man's words made the child's mother feel much better.

Yes.

Anyway, the child will only see the shadow on a rainy day -
Why is that?
The child’s mother didn’t understand.

But for them, it's a good thing.

At least they have a week's buffer.

Children are forgetful.

If the child forgets about it after a week...

Since the child himself has forgotten...

Then naturally, fantasies won’t arise…right?

In any case, fantasy is a projection from the depths of one's soul.

The child forgot...

The so-called fantasy is like water without a source, where can it come from?

……

Then there will be no problem.

……

The child's mother's tense body finally relaxed a lot.

"I was too panicked."

The child's mother smiled bitterly.

She was too worried about the child.

The thought that something might be wrong with the child's mind...

She became restless.

I felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to scream.

……

"fine."

The man laughed and said, "I panicked too."

“But we can’t keep panicking.”

"The child... needs us."

……

The child's mother's eyes widened and then returned to normal.

"……Um."

The child's mother nodded.

"I see."

The child's mother took a deep breath.

"I see……"

She needs to calm down.

She couldn't get into trouble.

The child saw a dark shadow...

Maybe it's just the child's own naive fantasy.

It's fine.

……

The next day, facing the child, the woman and the man acted as if what happened yesterday had never happened.

The little girl with mushroom head was a little confused.

I almost suspected that there was something wrong with my memory.

or……

She was wrong.

The argument she had with her parents yesterday about the black shadow was just a dream...

……

The little girl with mushroom head felt a headache again.

She vaguely remembered...

She had also had headaches before.

then……

There's no after that.

When she regains consciousness...

It was dawn the next day.

……

Come out to see mom and dad...

Her parents' attitude made her even more uncertain.

Is the memory that comes to mind a false one?

otherwise…..
Yesterday, my parents were serious...

Why didn’t you mention anything about the black shadow today?

……

The little girl with mushroom head wants to ask her parents what’s going on?

The words came to my lips but I couldn't speak.

She was worried that if she asked, her parents would be angry.

……

Hesitantly, the little girl with mushroom hair put on her shoes...
