The Pipa ghost made its way back to the tree trunk, one light step at a time.
It lowered its head to look at how high up it was.
Then it leaped down.
Its bare feet landed soundlessly on the ground.
Not a sound was made.
The Pipa ghost no longer paid any attention to the commotion behind it. It started walking forward.
To its surprise...
It saw those two demons again.
The two demons were following a child.
That child...
The Pipa ghost tilted its head.
It didn't recognize him.
The Pipa ghost silently watched the two demons walk past it.
Then it received another pair of icy stares from them.
The Pipa ghost: ...
What unfriendly demons!
As if something had just occurred to it, the Pipa ghost suddenly turned around and looked at the backs of the two demons and the child.
That was strange...
Why were such cold and unfriendly demons...
following a human child?
Were they going to eat him?
The Pipa ghost shook its head.
It dismissed the idea.
If they wanted to eat him, they would have done it already.
As far as it could tell, the two demons were simply following the child.
How strange...
What exactly were those two demons up to?
After thinking about it for a while without reaching a conclusion, the Pipa ghost gave up on the question.
Whatever the two demons were up to, it had nothing to do with it.
Why was it even thinking about them so much?
And so the Pipa ghost forgot about the two demons.
Until today...
When it saw that child.
The Pipa ghost recognized him right away...
That child was the one who had been with the two demons last time.
