Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5727 No Monsters
Speaking of which...

Old Meng suddenly remembered his original purpose.

Wasn't he trying to drive away the monster?
Distracted by the child's cries, he almost forgot about his business.

……

He looked at the child.

……

The child involuntarily took a step back.

……

"monster?!"

The girl screamed.

The crowd's curious gazes fell on Old Meng.

Some people's eyes showed a hint of sympathy.

He muttered to himself, "So they're a special group after all?"

"But this child seems quite intelligent..."

"No genetic predisposition, right?"

"That's really lucky."

……

"do not be afraid."

Old Meng misunderstood the child's fear as fear of a monster.

"do not be afraid."

"Dad is here."

……

"What he's afraid of is you."

Some people couldn't help but said.

……

what?
The unexpected words made Old Meng turn his head to look at the source of the voice.

……

The person who spoke involuntarily took a step back.

Knowing that the person in front of you is not normal, even a normal person would feel a little scared.

……

He's afraid of monsters.

Old Meng was puzzled by the other party's explanation.

Why is my child afraid of me?

……

"Because you're going to hit him."

someone blurted out.

……

"I didn't mean to hit him."

Old Meng was getting a little irritated.

"I'm helping him drive away the monster."

He's afraid of monsters!

So, if you're not going to help, don't bother him!
Old Meng was very angry.

He seems to be...
This is the first time I've encountered passersby who just watch the commotion without offering any help and even make sarcastic remarks.

He was somewhat angry.

But soon, Old Meng convinced himself.

Monsters are so scary.

It's normal for people to keep their distance.

Who would be willing to take risks for a stranger?

If it weren't for his son...

He would also stay far away.

……

Where are the monsters?

Someone looked around.

"There are no monsters."

"what are you talking about?"

"You clearly want to hit the child."

……

Old Meng was truly stunned.

He looked at his son's shoulder.

The other person grinned as if mocking him.

He suddenly turned his head.

Look at the others.

He saw the expressions on their faces.

.....
Old Mengtou had a terrifying feeling that gave him goosebumps all over his body.

"...If you don't want to help, then stay away."

"Go away."

Old Meng's voice still inevitably carried a hint of resentment.

"The monster was perched on the child's shoulder..."

"Can't you see?"

You're blatantly lying...

……

You're the one who's mistaken!

"Look carefully."

Someone was trying to make Old Meng understand...

What monster?

There is no monster on the child!

……

"No monsters!"

someone yelled.

"You saw it wrong!"

"Look carefully."

……

Old Meng looked at the person shouting at him with a strange expression.

"you……"

"it's wired."

"The monster is right there."

"I am very busy."

"I don't have time to joke around with you guys."

……

Old Meng was getting a little impatient.

He has important things to do...

……

"You're the one joking!"

The passersby were also angry.

"Ask your son!"

Is there a monster next to him?

"no!"

"You're talking complete nonsense!"

The passersby didn't hold back either.

.....
Old Meng was stunned.

W-what?
He thought he had misheard...

What does it mean that there are no monsters around the son?

He looked up.

The monster was right in front of him.

He was tugging at his son.

He grinned at him.

……

this….
No?
……

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Old Meng is really going to get angry.

……

"You'd better wake up!" The passersby, taking advantage of their numbers, weren't afraid of Old Meng at all.

"Don't believe me? Ask your son!"

"Did he know there was a monster around him?!"

……

Old Meng: ...

He looked at his child.

"Xiaojun."

His child was pale.

Looks horrified.

Isn't it because of... a monster?
"you……"

For some reason, Old Meng was very nervous.

He clenched his fists.

"There's a monster around you..."

"is it?"

"do not be afraid."

"Dad will protect you."

……

"no!"

The child's shrill voice interrupted Old Meng's attempt to comfort him.

……

Old Meng was stunned.

……

"I have nothing with me!"

The child continued shouting, "Daddy is so weird!"

"Dad, what are you saying?"

The child looked at Old Meng with a hint of fear.

"you……"

Are you going to hit me?

The child said this very softly.

……

"no!"

Old Meng immediately denied it.

"Dad didn't mean to hit you."

Why did your father hit you for no reason?

"No."

"When has your father ever hit you?"

"Dad is protecting you."

Old Meng tried to explain, "There's a monster next to you."

"Daddy will help you drive away the monster!"

"Monsters eat people!"

……

The child's gaze toward Old Meng became increasingly strange.

"But dad..."

The child looked around.

He also looked down.

The child's voice was very soft.

"...There are no monsters."

"There are no monsters around me."

"I have nothing around me."

"dad."

"...What are you talking about?"

……

Old Meng's pupils dilated sharply.

His face turned pale instantly.

No, it's not...

……

"Look."

Passersby began to speak up.

"We'll say it."

"None of us saw it."

"The child didn't see it either."

"You must have seen wrong."

"There are no monsters."

"In broad daylight..."

"How could there be a monster?"

"If there really are monsters..."

"The street is in complete chaos."

"How could there be no abnormalities at all?"

"Yes."

"If a monster really appears..."

"It's already become a social issue."

"Police cars and all sorts of things have arrived."

"Besides..."

"monster?"

"Pfft~"

"What monsters are there in this world?"

"Isn't that all just fiction in novels?"

……

Old Meng suddenly looked at everyone.

……

The crowd fell silent abruptly.

They were somewhat startled.

What are you doing?
……

"you……"

Old Meng's voice was hoarse.

"You really didn't see any...monsters?"

……

Because some people were frightened by Old Meng, everyone was a little cautious.

They glanced furtively at the others.

I don't want to be the first to speak.

……

"answer me!"

Old Meng was getting impatient.

His heart was pounding wildly.

He felt a little dizzy.

……

"No, no!"

Everyone was startled.

"No monsters!"

someone shouted.

Since someone had started, others chimed in, "There are no monsters."

"What monster?"

"You heard what your child said just now?"

He said there were no monsters.

"...We all said there were no monsters."

Are you still going to insist on your own opinion?

……

Old Meng's face grew increasingly grim.

Some even turned deathly pale.
