Chapter 5444: Right Here
The young scholar was sure the answer most people gave was the one he should believe.
But...
When the minority was made up of people like him...
He didn't know...
He felt he had to believe himself.
If he couldn't even trust what he'd seen with his own eyes...
They all said hearsay was unreliable, but seeing was believing...
If he couldn't even believe what he'd seen with his own eyes...
What could he believe?
But...
He couldn't simply ignore his brother's words.
Why?
The young scholar couldn't understand it at all.
Why had no one but him... oh, and that child...
seen the Black Monster?
They thought it didn't exist because they hadn't seen it.
And he thought it did exist because he had seen it...
Wasn't that perfectly reasonable?
Why...
were they so certain they were right?
Why was what he saw just... a delusion?
The young scholar couldn't accept it.
"Brother."
The young scholar had an idea.
"Come with me."
"Take another look."
"Maybe you'll be able to see the Black Monster too."
"Brother."
The young scholar gazed at him earnestly. "Believe me."
"There really is a Black Monster."
"I'm not the only one who saw it."
"Since that child saw it too, you should be able to see it as well."
"Come with me..."
The woodcutter looked at the young scholar with a complicated expression.
"Little brother..."
"Brother, believe me!"
The young scholar grew agitated.
He grabbed the woodcutter by the arm.
"It's true."
"Come with me."
"You'll definitely be able to see it too."
"Then you'll know everything I said was true!"
"Brother!"
A pleading look appeared on the young scholar's face.
The woodcutter sighed inwardly.
"...All right."
In the end, he nodded.
