Thinking of this, her heart was filled with joy and excitement, and she couldn't wait to share this good news with her good friends!
She ran to her deskmate's desk, her face still icy and devoid of any joy, but the excitement in her voice was undeniable, leaping with delight: "Xiao Le! Are you alright! I chased away those bad guys! Now I can protect you!"
She reached out to help her classmate Xiao Le up.
However, Xiao Le slapped away the hand that had just been extended.
Xiao Le backed away in panic, her voice filled with fear: "Get away! You monster! Don't touch me!"
Upon hearing this, the girl's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. She looked up blankly at Xiao Le, who looked both frightened and angry.
monster……
Are you talking about her?
Dark clouds crept up the blazing sun, bringing a touch of coolness.
The boy who had previously asked her for help, upon witnessing her bizarre behavior, was filled with fear and cowering: "You, you, you, don't come any closer! If I had known you were this kind of person, I would never have associated with you!"
The other children, who had witnessed the black mist devouring people, ignored their own injuries and angrily denounced her: "Monster! It's a man-eating monster! Will she eat us? Get rid of her! Headmistress, I don't want to be eaten!"
Hearing their accusations, the girl couldn't help but take a step forward, reaching out her hand to them, her face full of unease and anxiety, no longer displaying her usual indifference: "I...I'm not a monster!"

"The teacher said the police are really amazing; they can catch all sorts of bad guys and monsters! Once the monster is caught, we'll be safe!"
One sentence after another.
The innocent and hurtful words of children are like tiny arrows piercing the girl's eardrums and reaching her heart.
The dark clouds finally replaced the sun completely, and in an instant, a torrential downpour began. The torrential rain washed over everyone equally, but it could not wash away the vicious words from their mouths.
The monster they spoke of, the strange man who had pulled out all the thorns protecting him, now, in this instant, grew even more intense and hard cold thorns back onto his bloodied and mangled body.
