Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5833 Empty

no……

The old man's fingers were not obstructed in any way.

It stirs very smoothly in the water.

Really...

Gone.

The old man's mouth opened slightly.

Where are the goldfish?
Where is that little black and white goldfish?

……

Where did you go?

Could it be….
A sudden inspiration struck the old man.

He thought of something.

He immediately took a few steps and squatted down by the basin of water.

Will it be...

That goldfish isn't used to living in a single room...

It jumped back into the basin of water.

Although the distance between the two is somewhat difficult to determine...

But it's not entirely impossible.

……

The old man carefully examined the goldfish in the basin.

Each goldfish in the basin is different.

It has a unique pattern.

……

Therefore, there is no misunderstanding.

If there are small black and white goldfish in the water basin -
The red-toned goldfish are a bit hard to spot.

But black and white goldfish...

There really is only one.

Will not admit mistakes.

……

The old man opened his eyes wide.

I searched carefully for quite a while.

The old man got tired of squatting.

The old man looked around.

……

Tsk.

The small stools were a bit far away.

The old man struggled, slowly supporting his back as he got up...

Getting older.

Squatting for too long is tiring.

Squatting down and then standing up again is difficult.

The old man carefully got up.

Having lived alone for a long time, the old man has learned how to take good care of himself.

otherwise……

In the end, you're the one who suffers.

……

The old man leaned against the wall for a while to recover.

The dizziness in my head gradually subsided.

He walked to the side and picked up a stool.

……

Then the old man returned to the basin.

He sat down.

……

After a while, the old man reached out and rubbed his temples.

He closed his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

My swollen and sore eyes feel a little better now.

He reached up and rubbed his eyes.

He really...

My eyes are blurry from looking at it...

still is……

No black and white goldfish were found.

……

That is to say...

The old man raised his head and twisted his neck.

His neck ached from looking down for so long.

……

The old man almost thought he was hallucinating...

He raised his head.

He stared blankly at the roof, lost in thought.

……

Where are the goldfish?
……

He had seen that goldfish clearly just a moment ago...

The young man immediately fished it out.

I saw the young man place the fish tank with the goldfish on the windowsill.

Until they turned and left...

The black and white goldfish is still there.
They should be here, right?

The old man was a little uncertain.

after all……

The reality before us now is...

The black and white goldfish have disappeared.

……

The old man tried hard to recall...

When Little Mango left.....
The water bag was carefully held in the child's arms.

Inside that water bag….
How many goldfish are there?
indeed……

There are only two goldfish...

The old man was still somewhat uncertain.

Compared to those two goldfish...

Black and white goldfish are rather inconspicuous.

Its brilliance is easily overshadowed by those two goldfish.

……

But there's no reason for it.

The black and white goldfish was given away by the child himself.

It has always been the child's wish.

That's why the child keeps coming to his shop.

The child clearly gave away the goldfish at the time...

He could see it all very clearly. There were only two goldfish in the water bag in the child's arms.

The other goldfish remained in the tank.

The old man clearly remembered seeing such a scene.

……

The child didn't have a chance to put the other goldfish into his water bag.

They've always been together.
what.

The old man paused for a moment.

wrong.

They weren't always together.

He told the child to go behind the cashier to get a lollipop.

To have a private conversation with the young man the child brought today…

He deliberately told the child the wrong location of the lollipop.

I just wanted my child to stay at the cashier a little longer.

Give him time to chat with the young people.

……

its not right……

The old man frowned.

It was a sudden idea of ​​his to let the child get the lollipop.

In the past, he would have gone to get it himself.

Could this child possibly have the ability to predict the future?

If he didn't ask the child to get the lollipop...

Wouldn't that mean the child wouldn't have a chance to be alone?
Or……

This is inherently a random behavior.

Because he gave the child a chance.

The child just did this.

If he didn't give the child a chance...

Does the child not know how to do anything?
……

The old man shook his head vigorously.

He reached up and tapped his head.

what……

He imagined such a small, timid, and shy child to be so terrifying...

How can it be……

The child really wants that black and white goldfish...

You can do it from the beginning.

Why go through all that trouble?
The so-called uncle was just something the child made up.

Why create trouble for yourself?

……

Tsk!
The old man smacked his lips heavily.

……

wrong……

How could he be so sure that the missing black and white goldfish was related to the child?

Such a young child...

……

But apart from her...

He knew, of course, that he wasn't.

The young man stayed with him and chatted the whole time.

Unless that young man has the ability to create clones of himself, there's absolutely no way he could get back to the windowsill...

All I have left are my children.

The child also happens to have time alone.

now think of it……

The child really did stay at the cashier for quite a long time.

Although his initial intention in giving the child the wrong information was to buy time, the child still spent too much of that time.

There are only a few cabinets behind the cashier.

Even if they come looking for each one individually...

It shouldn't take that much time...

……

Tsk.

The old man smacked his lips again.

How to think about it...

That child is the most suspicious.

……

But why?
The old man couldn't understand it.

The reason why the child did not do so.

This contradicts the child's previous behavior.

……

But aside from the children...

Who else could be the candidate?
He is not.

That young man wasn't.

Who else?
There's no one here.

Could a thief have sneaked in through the window...?

Then they stole a goldfish?
……

The old man examined it carefully.

No goldfish were missing from the basin.

In other words, there is only one missing goldfish.

It's that black and white goldfish.

……

The old man really couldn't understand it.

He even had the urge to find his child immediately and confront him face to face.

Ask the child to confirm whether they took the black and white goldfish or not...

……

This is naturally impossible.

First of all, he had no idea where the child lived.

Secondly, he did not have his child's contact information.

He could only wait until the child came again...

Then ask the child about the missing black and white goldfish.

……

This……

I wonder how many days I'll have to wait...

The old man smiled.

We caught a goldfish.

That child...

I'm afraid I won't be coming for a while.

He had personally witnessed the child nervously taking deep breaths in front of the grocery store...
