Old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the wound on Little kid’s face, who was lying in a pool of water.

Under the washing of the rain, the scars on Little kid’s face seemed to have accumulated quite a bit of rain. Along with the flickering lightning in the sky, it looked extremely frightening. Only the puppy that did not judge people by their appearance was sobbing around Little kid, occasionally licking the marks on Little kid’s face as if it wanted to wake Little kid up.

“Why do these children have these scars on their bodies? Why are they injured?”

The tall man did not conceal it. He slowly said, “Through research, it has been discovered that the reason why ordinary people cannot become capable is because their souls are missing something. If they want to repair their souls, they naturally have to forcefully inject the missing things into their bodies. And these marks are left behind by those things when they enter their bodies.”

Old man You You asked, “Can’t you erase it?”

The tall man was stunned. Without thinking, he smiled bitterly, “I’m afraid that the experts above Earthly Immortal Realm might not be able to control the power of the soul. The damage caused by the power of the soul will naturally not be eliminated. Otherwise, we can erase the marks on their bodies. There’s no need to get rid of them to seal the mouths of those people.”

Old man frowned and said, “So you can’t really control the power of the soul. The thing you injected into their bodies must also be their souls, right?”

The tall man was stunned for a moment before nodding lightly.

“But only humans have souls!” The old man said sternly.

The tall man, You You, said, “If two or three people’s lives could be exchanged for an ordinary person who originally could not become a capable person to become an able person, many people would do this transaction.”

One had to know that the number of people with normal abilities was extremely rare. Perhaps only one out of 100,000 ordinary people had this chance. This one in 100,000 chance was truly too small.

However, if there was another method that only needed to sacrifice two or three people to cultivate an ability, then many people would feel that it was very worthwhile. In any case, the two or three people who were sacrificed were not themselves.

But when the old man heard this, he immediately burst into a rage and said, “Bastard! How many people will die here?”

The tall man smiled bitterly and said, “But when we have to sacrifice some people for more people, we have no other choice.”

The old man gritted his teeth and said, “Scram! Scram for me!”

The tall man smiled, but didn’t say anything else. His figure slowly disappeared into the rain, as if there had never been anyone where the man stood.

The old man’s sighs were so weak that he was powerless to resist the thunder.

As for the conversation between old man and the tall man, Little kid, who was lying in a pool of water and was dying, had no way of knowing.

All he knew was that when he was asleep, he was woken up by someone.

“Brat! Stop sleeping!”

Little kid slowly opened his eyelids as he shouted. When an old face appeared in his eyes, Little kid instinctively turned away and did not dare to look at anyone else.

The place was still the alley, and the rain was still falling. Rumbling thunder could be heard from time to time. It was still hiding under the eaves of the rain, and the wet puppy was also there.

He must have just eaten his fill and accidentally fell asleep.

Little kid felt as if he had a nightmare and was beaten up by someone, the kind that hurt very, very much.

But now, it was as if he was having a beautiful dream. Not only did he not feel any pain on his body, he felt warm instead. Even though it was still raining, he did not feel a cold stare.

“Brat, are you stupid from being beaten?”

Old man looked at Little kid’s wooden expression and couldn’t help but tease him.

Little kid lowered his head and stared at the large hand that old man was pressing on his chest. It was thin and rough, but it was exceptionally warm.

However, it was as if Little kid had been disturbed and was about to retreat. However, he, who was lying on his back now, could not get under the floor.

Although he didn’t know why, Little kid knew that if he wanted to get in touch with others, he would be annoying.

On the way, Little kid had encountered many people accidentally. Although most people would hurriedly dodge, there were still many who cursed at him, even punched and kicked him.

Thus, Little kid subconsciously tried to shrink back into the corner of the wall.

However, just as Little kid was about to move and press down, he was fiercely pressed down by old man and said, “Don’t move!”

His voice was a little harsh, causing Little kid to tighten his body. He really didn’t dare to move.

Seeing that old man was staring at his face, Little kid couldn’t help but hide the marked side.

The old man suddenly asked, “Do you hate them?”

Little kid was stunned and whispered in an obedient voice, “He … who are they?”

The old man was also stunned, and then he sighed softly, “Just like the person who just hit you.”

Little kid was silent for a moment, but what he was thinking was, wasn’t it just a dream?

However, the old man said unhappily, “Say it out loud if you hate it. What’s there to not dare to say about it?”

Little kid obediently asked, “What is hate?”

Old man was stunned and looked at Little kid, who was lying on the ground in disbelief.

However, Little kid’s clear eyes were not only filled with impurities, old man couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Little kid didn’t know what old man was laughing at, but his eyes were filled with suspicion.

The old man smiled for a long time and then slowly asked, “Then you stinking brat should have been kicked into a lot of pain just now, right? Why didn’t you cry?”

Little kid knew the meaning of crying, even though his eyes were constantly flowing with water. He also knew that if he cried when it hurt, he wouldn’t feel so much pain anymore.

But then Little kid knew that although crying could not hurt him very much, after crying, the pain would still hurt and his stomach would be hungry very quickly.

Therefore, in Little kid’s mind, crying was naturally a very costly thing.

However, he didn’t know how to answer the question of old man, who had his hand on his body. Little kid could only be considered silent.

The old man who couldn’t get the answer didn’t mean to insist on getting the answer. He only slowly withdrew his hand and said in a bad mood, “Alright, you stinking brat, you’re already well. Stand up yourself.”

As the old man spoke, his originally squatting body slowly stood up.

Little kid could only feel the chill from the heavy rain sweeping through his body after old man’s hand was retracted. He couldn’t help but tremble and quickly climbed up from the wet floor.

The old man slowly turned around and looked like he was about to leave.

He only took a few steps and found that Little kid, who was standing under the eaves, did not follow him. He couldn’t help but blow his beard and stare, “You stinking brat, what are you doing? Hurry up and follow him!”
