Xiao Xiao had no intention of paying attention to anything else at this moment. It was the first time he had allowed himself to express his emotions since those four years.

Previously, all he had learned was to control his emotions, because the torment he suffered was too painful, so he dared not indulge himself. But this time, he unexpectedly felt lost and overwhelmed by guilt.

I no longer want to distinguish whether this is real or just a monster playing a role.

Or, even if it's just playing a role, you should at least play your own part.

After all, he is his mother's son.

He had lost patience with his father's obstruction and even the desire to communicate. The Extreme Sensitivity factors of the Insightful Path allowed him to read too much confidence, as if a person living in this world was constantly sending signals to the outside world. Sometimes they would hide or make excuses, after all, everyone knew that the nature of the world was not very good.

But for sensitive people, it's unnecessary.

Because they have already seen these signals far too clearly.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao simply fulfilled his responsibility and turned to walk towards the elevator.

Even after the elevator doors closed, the three eyes continued to flutter around him, like three dark red suns.

"Buzzing..."

Xiao's Father remained in the corridor, stunned and frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

It's impossible to describe the look in Xiao Xiao's eyes when he turned around just now.

Cold and indifferent, as if the entire real world had been instantly detached, leaving only an abnormally crazy distortion.

Inside his lower back, the constantly flashing instruments were operating at full speed.

He could see the peak value of the curve on the instrument, which had even reached a terrifying level that he couldn't even imagine.

"You..."

His Adam's apple bobbed violently as he muttered to himself, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. "You are actually..."

"... Have they really gone mad?"

"..."

He stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped up as if on fire, frantically grabbing his phone:

"Run! Run! Xiao Xiao has gone down to find you..."

"He's gone mad, he's gone mad..."

"Stop asking questions, just run! Take the child and get out of the hospital immediately, as far away as possible..."

"..."

Hearing the impatient voice on the phone asking what was going on, his voice was already hoarse. He suddenly realized that simply talking to them was useless. Feeling a chill run down his spine, he abruptly hung up the phone and immediately dialed another number.

He screamed desperately, "Doctor, it's my son..."

"So my son really has gone mad; he's become like those monsters..."

"Quickly, someone stop him! Hurry..."

"..."

"..."

"Bite!"

While his father nervously made the call, Xiao Xiao was taking the elevator to the parking lot.

His head was spinning, and the world around him seemed to have a severe sense of unreality, distorted and changed.

Countless strange and chilling sensations surged through his mind, but he had no intention of discerning them.

"That's my mother; after all, she has my mother's face."

He walked slowly toward parking D District, muttering to himself in a very low voice, "Maybe she's a monster, but she's always taken care of me. In fact, in her mind, before the malice struck, she was my mother, and her heart was only for me..."

"It might be fake, but the feeling was real..."

"She takes such good care of me, how can I be so indifferent and let her be bullied?"

"..."

As he slowly walked through the parking lot, it was as if he had ushered in a strange new world.

The surrounding parked vehicles, for some unknown reason, suddenly had their headlights flashing, and the car radios were inexplicably turned on, blasting out a cacophony of sounds mixed with chaotic signals, which, from a distance, sounded like the painful groans of the world.

Meanwhile, at a more distant end of the parking lot, in D District, the father's wife was putting down the phone in surprise.

In the back seat sat her child, Xiao Xiao's half-brother.

In the driver's seat sat a man wearing only a black tank top, with a scar on his face, who was speaking impatiently:

"What did my brother-in-law say?"

"..."

"Why is he acting like a madman?"

The woman frowned and said, "They answered the phone and told us to hurry up and leave, but before they could explain anything, they hung up."

"Walk?"

The man in the driver's seat said, "Didn't we say we'd go out to eat together later?"

"Now that we're leaving, he'll go there by himself?"

"..."

"They said Xiao Xiao is coming down, and we should avoid him..."

When Xiao Xiao was mentioned, the woman pursed her lips, clearly not having a good impression of him.

The man in the driver's seat understood what was going on and sneered:

"What's wrong? Is that kid feeling sorry for his mother and wants to come down and settle scores with us?"

"My brother-in-law still dotes on his eldest son, probably because he's afraid I'll discipline him... Sister, what should we do?"

"If we really beat this kid up, my brother-in-law will probably be angry."

"How about we hide for a while, go to a restaurant and wait for my brother-in-law to arrive before we talk?"

"..."

"What good would be beating him up do?"

Aunt Wang said coldly, "I was angry when I saw them at the last meal. They had no manners at all."

"Everyone says he's been sick for four years. Honestly, if he's sick, he should be taken to the hospital. Why keep him by your side?"

"..."

The two men were somewhat dissatisfied as they talked, but they still started the car.

Thinking that he should give Xiao's Father some face, he avoided the child.

However, as the car slowly began to move, just as they rounded a corner, they suddenly felt a chill. A dark red phantom appeared inexplicably on the car's display screen, as if blood had seeped into the screen's layers.

It was as if the voltage was unstable; all the lights around seemed to be trembling.

The surrounding vehicles and load-bearing pillars cast strange shadows under the changing lights.

"This..."

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, the driver was about to speak when his gaze suddenly swept ahead, and he was startled.

The car headlights shone straight ahead, and at the end of the passage, he saw a boy wearing a hoodie.

He slowly walked into parking lot D District, turned his body slightly, and looked at the car.

Now, the distance between the two sides is at least thirty or forty meters, and even with their eyes wide open, they cannot see each other's faces clearly.

But the other party merely glanced in that direction indifferently, then, as if confirming something, turned around and walked towards the car.

The speed doesn't seem very fast.

But as he approached, an invisible pressure seemed to envelop everyone in the car.

"What the hell is that?"

The man in the driver's seat was startled and cursed.

He couldn't describe the feeling; Mingming were so far apart, he was still sitting in the car.

But the other person only glanced in his direction, and he felt as if they could see right through him, which greatly increased the pressure on him.

"It's... it's that kid..."

Aunt Wang, who was in the passenger seat, was also slightly startled, her voice trembling slightly. "He actually came looking for us."

"What does he want?"

The man in the driver's seat cursed, "Revenge, huh? Smash his head."

But as he spoke, he frowned, shifted back into gear, and the car reversed, moving backward.

He thought to himself, "This shouldn't be happening!"

"How did he manage to spot us sitting in the car from that distance?"

"..."

The car turned around and headed towards another passage. He felt a vague sense of unease and subconsciously sped up.

It's very easy to get around someone.

But no one expected that as soon as the car turned into another lane, its headlights shone straight ahead, and they were suddenly startled.

Xiao Xiao, wearing a hoodie, had somehow ended up blocking the road again.

He continued to walk slowly forward, unhurried, but the distance between him and the car had already been reduced to only about twenty meters.

Sizzle sizzle...

The car's audio-visual system started to malfunction, with illogical noises constantly ringing out, which was very annoying.

An invisible panic had already enveloped the car without anyone noticing.

Even the child in the back seat noticed and suddenly looked up and asked, "Where's Daddy?"

"Why isn't Dad here yet? He said he'd take me to buy toys..."

"..."

"Let's go..."

Aunt Wang, sitting in the passenger seat, didn't even have time to pay attention to her son in the back seat; she just kept urging him on.

The man was actually getting impatient, but the car wouldn't cooperate; the gears were even malfunctioning. Frustrated, he suddenly slammed his fist on the steering wheel, stopped the car, unbuckled his seatbelt, and said, "Damn it, they're really driving me crazy..."

"Keep an eye on my nephew, don't scare him. I'll go ask this kid!"

"..."

He was about to push the door open and go downstairs, but hesitated for a moment, then turned around, opened the toolbox, and took out a wrench.

"What do you want?"

In Aunt Wang's horrified gaze, he got out of the car and rushed forward to meet her, a metal wrench in his hand. Compared to her burly figure, Xiao Xiao, wearing a hoodie, was thin and pale, looking like a child who hadn't grown up.

Did you push my mother down?

She saw that when her younger brother went out, Xiao Xiao also stopped and looked up to ask.

"So what if it is?"

His younger brother raised his chin and said, "Do you know that house doesn't belong to you at all?"

Xiao Xiao nodded, pulled a gun out of his pocket, and pointed it at his face.

Inside the car, Aunt Wang was suddenly startled. She suddenly felt that the gun looked familiar; she seemed to have seen it at her birthday party last time.

"You..."

Even the younger brother, who had rushed out of the car, was clearly startled.

But then he sneered, "Still carrying a gun? How old are you, still playing with children's toys?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward to greet them.

"Bang!"

Then, at that moment, gunshots rang out.

Aunt Wang, who was in the car, was startled and her body trembled. The noisy child in the back seat was also suddenly startled by the gunshot.

They all stared blankly ahead and saw the man wielding the wrench frozen in place.

He reached up and touched his stomach, looking at the bright red color, and looked up in disbelief at the hooded boy.

Xiao Xiao continued walking forward and pressed the gun against his forehead.

Half of his face was hidden in the darkness beneath his hood and shirt; only his tightly pursed lips could be seen, which suddenly broke into a smile.

"This is a toy for older children..."
