Nian Huailin's eyes were stunned: "This, what is this?!" ”

Nian Huailin is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't know many pet beasts, let alone recognize an alienated glutton.

Gu Ling hurriedly explained: "Uncle Nian, this is not a thing. ”

"It's a pet beast called a glutton, and when Grandpa Nian was a child, he saw a nightmare eater who hadn't evolved into a glutton, and later became a friend."

The gluttonous ghost kept blinking his eyes wide, and he looked as well-behaved as he could.

Nian Huailin came to his senses and looked up and down several times at the glutton: "It evolved from the Nightmare Eater?" ”

"Yes." Gu Ling nodded.

"I asked the glutton, seventy years ago, the gluttony met a 14-year-old boy on the island, and that little boy must be Grandpa Nian."

"Grandpa Nian left the island back then, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to the glutton, and the gluttony didn't know the situation, so he waited on the island for seventy years."

"Grandpa Nian should have been thinking about gluttons all these years, so he often walked to the beach and looked in the direction of the island, just to see the glutton."

Seeing that the information Gu Ling said was all right, Nian Huailin finally believed it.

"In that case, then you can follow me to see the old man."

"Okay."

Gu Ling re-zipped the backpack, walked into the hospital with the glutton, and went all the way to the door of the ward.

Before Gu Ling entered the ward, Nian Huailin called out the other Nian family members in the ward.

The others didn't know why, and they couldn't understand why Nian Huailin suddenly came back.

"Dad's friend has found it." Nian Huailin explained.

"Where?"

"Found it so soon?"

The others were a little curious about the pet beast friends in the old man's mouth, but Nian Huailin didn't want to say anything.

The main thing is that the gluttony looks a little ...... Well, there are still children here, so it's not good to scare the little ones.

Nian Huailin took Gu Ling into the ward and spoke to the old man on the hospital bed:

"Dad, I've got that friend of yours."

Hearing this, the old man's cloudy eyes seemed to light up with a glimmer: "...... Where, where? ”

As soon as he entered the ward, Xian Jiu on Gu Ling's shoulder jumped down and walked into the corner.

Gu Ling hugged the backpack in front of him, walked to the hospital bed in a few steps, and said softly to the old man while unzipping the backpack: "Grandpa Nian, do you remember the nightmare eater?" ”

"It's the nightmare eater in the haunted house on the island, and it's now evolved into a glutton."

The greedy ghost's little fat hand grabbed the edge of the backpack, half of his head popped out, and when he saw the old man on the hospital bed, he looked stunned: "...... Boom? ”

The old man coughed twice, and his eyes fell on the glutton: "...... Is that you? Nightmare Eater? ”

"After so many years, I can finally see you again, you are still the same as back then, dressed in green, so conspicuous......"

The old man sighed, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"Back then, I thought I was only away from my parents for a day or two and would be back soon, so I didn't tell you, so I apologized for you waiting so long...... Ahem! ”

"Do you resent me in your heart?"

Hearing this, the glutton subconsciously shook his head.

Seeing that the gluttonous ghost had made a statement, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "...... I have always kept the candy I agreed to buy for you, and my daughter went home to get it just now. ”

"This gift that is decades late, I hope you don't dislike it, I ...... at the time I picked it for a long time, but unfortunately the candy I bought at that time expired. ”

"Ji~" The greedy ghost looked stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the old man to suddenly say this.

After reacting, the gluttonous leaned out of his backpack and flew to the top of the old man's head and spun around twice, as if confirming something.

Gu Ling couldn't figure out what the gluttony was doing, and in the next second, he saw the glutton's face lost again.

"I'm so happy to see you again...... Ahem, if there is a next life, I hope I can have the opportunity to be friends again......"

The old man insisted on finishing the last words, and began to cough violently, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood.

"Dad!" Nian Huailin's face on the side changed slightly, and he hurriedly pressed the pager next to him.

In less than a minute, several doctors and nurses walked into the ward and began to do various examinations for the old man.

At this time, the old man was already in a coma, and if it weren't for the fact that the instrument connected to the electrocardiogram on the side still showed that there was beating, he thought it was ......

Seeing this scene, Gu Ling also knew that it was time to leave.

Hearing this, Immortal Jiu next to him turned his head and jumped onto Gu Ling's shoulder.

"Uncle Nian, then let's go out for the time being."

Nian Huailin was worried about the old man's body, and nodded casually: "Okay, good ......"

Gu Ling was about to call the glutton, but the gluttonous ghost floated out of the window without saying a word.

Seeing this, Gu Ling hurriedly chased out with Xian Jiu.

……

After leaving the ward, Gu Ling was thinking about where to find the glutton, and while waiting for the elevator, he happened to meet Gu Mingsheng who came up in the elevator.

"Second Uncle ......" Gu Linggang wanted to say that the gluttonous ghost had already recognized Grandpa Nian.

Who knows, Gu Mingsheng opened his mouth first, and Gu Ling was confused with one sentence.

"Little Zero, we may have found the wrong person."

Gu Ling: "Huh?" ”

Gu Mingsheng said the information he had investigated when he went out early in the morning and asked his friends from the Pet Beast Guild to investigate:

"The old man was a good family when he was a child, and he was sent to the city by his parents to study since kindergarten, and the Nian family also bought a house in the city.

"So from the perspective of time, it is impossible for the old man to stay on the island for a long time and make friends with gluttonous ghosts."

Hearing this, Gu Ling was even more confused.

If the little boy in the mouth of the gluttonous ghost is not the old man, then why does the old man know about the existence of the glutton? Still thinking about going to find a glutton?

Moreover, the candy agreement with the glutton, the old man is also clear.

Gu Mingsheng continued: "Back then, when the old man was in a car accident, he didn't go back to Ping'an Town alone, but he was also surrounded by another friend of the same age who also lived in Ping'an Town. ”

Friends of the same age? Also hometown in Ping'an Town?

Gu Ling felt as if he had learned some kind of truth.

"Second uncle, could it be that Grandpa Nian's friend is the little boy that the gluttonous ghost is really waiting for?"

Gu Mingsheng nodded: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

Receiving Gu Mingsheng's affirmation, Gu Ling's mood plummeted: "That person is ...... now"

"Died in that car accident." Gu Mingsheng sighed slightly.

"After the accident, all the passengers fell into the sea, the old man basically lived in the city, he had not had much contact with the sea, and he couldn't swim, and the old man's friend was just the opposite, he was born and raised by the sea, and he knew water since he was a child."

"The old man was rescued by his friend."

After rescuing the old man ashore, the man went to save two more people, but in the end he lost his strength...... and he was buried in the sea. ”

acted bravely and saved three people in a row.

The news newspapers at the time also focused on this matter, otherwise after many years, Gu Mingsheng might not have been able to find out the cause and effect so quickly.

Gu Ling couldn't help but guess: "Why is Grandpa Nian lying?" Is it for his friend? ”

Gu Mingsheng: "Since the two are friends, when they want to get along with each other, they should mention gluttonous ghosts, so the old man can know some inside information." ”

As for why he chose to impersonate his friend......

It is estimated that only the old man himself knows it.

"Can ......" Gu Ling's expression was complicated.

The old man wants to hide the fact that the real "little boy" has died a long time ago, but the ghost pet beast can see everyone's unique soul breath.

The old man is not a beast master, and he has been confused for decades, so he probably doesn't understand this.

Gu Ling realized it later, and suddenly understood that when the gluttonous ghost saw the "friend" he had been looking for for a long time in the ward, he was not as happy as Gu Ling imagined, but was full of weirdness.

Originally, Gu Ling thought that the gluttonous ghost was sad that the old man was about to die......

"Second uncle, I'll go find the gluttonous first, if the old man wakes up, help me ask him why the old man did this."

Seeing another elevator go up to this floor, Gu Ling hurriedly left a few words, and walked into the elevator with Xian Jiu.

……

In the hospital room.

Doctors and nurses are checking the data of various physical conditions for the old man.

The old man was lying on the bed, his consciousness was hazy, and he recalled his life.

He was not a good son, a good father, or a good husband...... When his family needed him the most, he passed decades and became a burden to everyone.

His parents, his wife...... In the past few decades, he has left this world one step ahead of him.

The old man whispered in his heart: "Huazi...... Anyway, I've done a decent thing. ”

Now, I can go down to you with peace of mind.

The old man felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, as if he was being held down by an invisible hand, and he couldn't open them.

The tired body seemed to fall into the cold deep sea, and the sea water kept rushing towards him, and countless tentacles seemed to stretch out from the depths of the seabed, pulling his hands, feet and body, trying to drag him down completely......

Just as he was about to give up his struggle, a figure swam towards him and dragged him to the surface.

"Wake up! Stay safe! Wake up......"

It was as if someone was slapping him in the face.

When the old man regained some consciousness, he only felt that the neighborhood was very noisy, and all kinds of chaotic sounds were mixed with the sound of sirens.

There are still a lot of people who are muttering about something......

"It's a pity that I saved three people, but I couldn't come up ......"

"Alas, what a pity......"

“……”

There was darkness in front of me, and I couldn't see or touch anything.

In a trance, the sound of two people talking sounded in my ears.

"Shou'an, I'm going back to my hometown with you this year, just to see my friend. ’

'Just that wild pet beast nightmare eater you've been talking about?' Maybe it's gone when you go back, or it's forgotten about you. ’

'No, we're on good terms!' I also told him that when he had the opportunity to go to the big city in the future, he would bring back new candies of various flavors. ’

Since you two are on good terms, why don't you go back and find it sooner?' Although it's not that the beast master can't contract pet beasts, but last year was not a new adoption policy, and ordinary people can also raise pet beasts now. ’

'Harm! I couldn't take care of it myself, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take care of it......

'Also, your parents owe a lot of debts and ran away, so they left you to work alone to pay off the money, and you usually can't even take care of the time to eat. ’

"Don't talk about that, can you help me pick which candy is delicious?" I haven't been back for so many years, and that friend of mine is so angry that I have to buy a good flavor and take it back to bribe it. ’

'Okay, I'll pick ...... for you'

‘……’

Drops –

"Patients' physical data is declining!"

"Get to the emergency room!"

“…… Prepare for electrotherapy! ”

“……”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was as if something was pulsating slowly.

In my memory—

The passenger car before crashing into the sea.

The passengers on the bus panicked one by one.

“…… Stop it! Stop it! ”

"Hahahaha! Now that you know you're scared? A bunch of dog offal! Come with me to hell! ”

Some people try to jump out of the car door, some people try to persuade the driver to calm down, and some people directly grab the steering wheel......

Nian Shou'an has been smooth sailing since he was a child, and the people and things he encounters around him are also harmonious and beautiful, but this is the first time he has encountered such an unexpected situation, and his whole brain is blank.

At this moment, the man next to Nian Shou'an's seat suddenly spoke: "...... Shou'an, if it's a brother, do me a favor. ”

"If I can't go back this time, you can go to the island to find it on my behalf."

"Anyway, I haven't seen him for so many years, and it can't recognize what I look like, so you just pretend to be me, help me give it the gift, and then help me say 'I'm sorry'......"

What?

Nian Shouan didn't react, and the next second he saw the person next to him pick up the fire hammer and smash the glass on the car.

“…… Come here! ”

But before the two of them jumped out of the car to escape, the whole car fell directly from the bridge......

……

in the hospital.

After Gu Ling went downstairs, he walked around downstairs, but he didn't find the slightest shadow of the glutton.

"By the way, the gluttonous still wears a suppressor!"

There is a positioning function on the pet beast suppressor, Gu Ling hurriedly took out his mobile phone and checked the location of the greedy ghost now.

“…… Got it. ”

On the way to find the glutton, Gu Ling saw a little girl in a hospital gown holding her mother's hand and buying snacks at the commissary, and her footsteps stopped.

Then he turned around and went to the commissary, paid for a jar of candy that was even shiny with icing, and then went to find the glutton.

The glutton floated to the small square next to the hospital, sitting alone on a bench, head down, staring unhappily at the ground.

Suddenly, a can of shiny candy appeared in the sight of the glutton.

“…… Boom? ”
