But this was only a joking thought the boy had come up with after pondering for a long time without figuring out the mysterious voice's true nature.
He knew that couldn't be true.
He hadn't expected...
Mengmo... was also a "monster"?
The boy muttered to himself.
He didn't know.
A strange sense of anxiety inside him made him ask the person before him, "Is Mengmo a monster?"
"Mengmo?"

Had he actually guessed that it was Mengmo?
"It's a monster."
"But what you encountered wasn't Mengmo."
Fei Fei and Mengmo were quite different.
One could create illusions, while the other devoured dreams.
Their abilities were completely different.

The boy spoke as if it were obvious. He looked at Xiao Xiao in disbelief, as though he couldn't understand how Xiao Xiao could ask such a thing. "Monsters don't even exist!"
Wasn't that common knowledge?
Could it
