"He'll repent."
"If those vengeful spirits who suffered in life hear his repentance, they might find greater peace, right?"
Xiao Xiao's tone was flat.
It sounded as though he was merely stating a fact.
Really?
"Yu Hai" expressed his doubt.
Would this human really repent?
Besides, would repentance alone be enough?
"Yu Hai" sneered.
Repentance alone could never bring back those lives that had been lost.
Though death couldn't bring them back either.
But wasn't this fairer?
With that thought, "Yu Hai's" heart wavered again.
Sure enough, this sort of human would be better off turned into a dry skeleton.
"We don't need to decide right now."
Xiao Xiao did not force the monster to accept his proposal.
"You hand him over to me first."
"I'll hand him over to the police."
"You can see what punishment he receives."
"Then you can decide. How does that sound?"
"Yu Hai" hesitated.
It sounded... pretty good?
But it stared fixedly at the human before it.
If it wasn't satisfied with Yu Hai's fate by then, could it really act on its own?
Would this human stop it?
Just like now—
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
"Yu Hai" suddenly widened its eyes.
Had it just said what it was thinking?
It probably... hadn't, right?
Why did this human seem as though he could read minds?
"Yu Hai" froze.
Could this human really read minds?
"Unfortunately, I can't read minds."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
Yet there was no regret on his face.
As far as he himself was concerned, he didn't particularly like mind-reading.
Hearing too many thoughts was exhausting.
Whether they were good or bad.
Distance made the heart grow fonder.
It was better to leave one another some room.
And he said he couldn't read minds?
