Chapter 235: Jade Wall: Epilogue (2)
Thud-! Thud-!
A basketball-sized colored Hungry Ghost was pulling a large cart diligently, making rhythmic footsteps. Then, the Hungry Ghost and the cart slowly approached me.
Looking at the old cart rattling as it slowly approached me, I realized that there was nothing special about it, but I felt a little strange.
I felt anxious that the cart would carry me somewhere.
I turned my head and looked to my side, and there, I found the White Hungry Ghost who seemed to have no thoughts.
“Kyu!”
Rather, it seemed happy to see a friend who had come after a long time.
Well, it was impossible for the colored Hungry Ghost or the white Hungry Ghost to carry me on a cart and abandon me far away, so it was a pointless thought. However, my heart still felt uneasy for no reason, so I crouched down and reached out to gently pat the white Hungry Ghost’s back.
The white Hungry Ghost is kind, so it wouldn’t carry me on a cart and abandon me in Seoul Forest, right?
But when I gently smiled and patted its back, the white Hungry Ghost tensed up with a very surprised expression on its face.
Then, it glanced at me with the corner of its eyes and began to check my mood.
Its expression seemed to be saying, ‘What kind of crazy thing is this madman trying to do?’
Its expression was so unpleasant that I dug into its back with the hand I was stroking it with and ate the piece of its flesh.
“Kyuhihing.”
I was stroking the white Hungry Ghost to cheer myself up, but I ended up eating it again.
Of course, the White Hungry Ghost’s expression was always similar, but I’d recently been able to read its expression.
Since I’d been harassing the White Hungry Ghost so often, I’d now reached a point where I could read its expression!
To think I would be able to tell the White Hungry Ghost’s expression even when I still couldn’t do so to the Black Reaper and Golden Reaper…
I somehow felt like I was disqualified as a mother, but there was nothing I could do.
In the first place, how do you even tell apart twins with slightly different personalities and behaviors?
It was Yerin who was strange as she could tell who was who even though there were millions of twins!
As I continued to eat the White Hungry Ghost, the colored Hungry Ghost arrived in front of me.
Then, the alchemist’s younger sister ran out from the cargo area of the cart with an anxious look on her face.
“My sister is strange! Please help her!”
Her sister suddenly lost consciousness, then she started telling me, who couldn’t understand what she was saying, various stories.
That’s how the younger sister’s story began, then, she told me about the alchemist’s strange behavior when they visited Seoul Forest.
