Chapter 254: Chapter 229 This High-End Game_2

"But come to think of it, you actually ran into Letticia just like that. Your luck is really something else," Carl asked again, "Speaking of which, where did you encounter her?"

"In the forest," Xiao Yi answered, "At that time I saw her and a group of girls fiddling with something or other."

"Uh..." Carl suddenly felt a headache coming on, "There she goes again, dragging a bunch of clueless youths to worship her so-called God."

"God?"

"Yes," Carl explained, "The God she worships isn’t like any traditional religious concept of a human-like God, but something completely beyond our comprehension, something entirely beyond our understanding. As such, It’s a nameless, formless unknown entity in our perception. But according to Letticia, that’s exactly what makes this God so great."

"...I totally don’t get it," Xiao Yi said.

"Neither do I," Carl replied with a helpless smile, "Letticia craves knowledge, so she loves the unknown, and that’s probably why she believes in it. But still, it’s better than worshipping religious gods, at least that unknown God won’t actually persecute anyone."

"No... no matter the god, they’re all the same," Xiao Yi countered, "Because no matter the god, they don’t exist. All the misdeeds are committed by people. So instead of despising a non-existent god, you might as well take out the people."

"Ha ha! Exactly!" Carl burst into laughter, "You make a lot of sense! Gods are just tools of humans, all so-called miracles are either coincidental or deliberate actions, mere tricks or hallucinations meant to deceive people... ah."

As Carl was speaking, he paused abruptly, then apologized to Xiao Yi,

"Sorry, maybe we shouldn’t bring up hallucinations now, eh? By the way, you still remember you have that illness, right?"

"You’re saying I’m ill?" Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then realized he indeed had an ailment.

"Of course, I remember I’m ill. Actually, when I was born, I was diagnosed with intermittent hunger; I need to eat three times a day, and I feel miserable if I don’t eat. It’s painful but I have to keep living."

[Oh, how unfortunate... Hang in there! You must persevere!]

[Hugs to you, get well soon!]

"...Huh?" Carl was dumbfounded, then speechlessly said, "I was talking about the illness where you experience hallucinations."

"...Huh? Hallucinations?" Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned, then remembered he also suffered from seeing hallucinations.

Carl added, "Let’s leave it at that for today. You must be quite tired, right? I shouldn’t ask too much more. Just rest well today. We’ll resolve these issues at my clinic tomorrow."

No sooner had Carl finished speaking than Letticia came over and said,

"Mr. Carl... It looks like we’ve run out of one of the ingredients."

"What!?" Carl jumped to his feet, "That won’t do, missing even one ingredient won’t work! What ingredient is it? Tell me quickly! I’ll go buy it right now!"

With that, Carl hurried out the door.

"Wait for me, I’ll have it ready in no time," Letticia said and then headed back into the kitchen.

"...Sigh, it’s busy, busy... busy is good, I guess."

As Xiao Yi was idly sprawled on the sofa, Gladys came over with some tea.

"Sorry for the wait... Where’s my dad?"

Seeing her father was not around, Gladys looked at Xiao Yi, even more anxious now.

"He went out to buy something," Xiao Yi said.

"Is that so?"

After that, Gladys said nothing more, and the two sat in silence, the atmosphere getting a bit awkward.

"Uh..."

Then Xiao Yi picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

Gladys quickly asked, "How... how is it?"

"Um..."

Xiao Yi didn’t answer immediately because he actually didn’t like tea much, and he had heard drinking too much tea could be bad for his health.

Xiao Yi still thought the "green can" God was best, followed by plain water.

But Xiao Yi knew how fragile kids could be, how easily hurt, having been there himself once.

So Xiao Yi drank up and then said, "It’s not bad."

"Really? That’s great..." Gladys whispered in delight.

Then, just at that moment, there came the sound of the door opening again.

"Oh, looks like Ca... Ca, Ca, Ca... Carl’s back," Xiao Yi struggled to correct himself.

After all, Carl had been quite nice to Xiao Yi, and a bit of respect was due.

However, the person who walked in wasn’t Carl but a strikingly beautiful woman.

"...Mom!" Gladys immediately greeted her.

But the woman just smiled at Gladys and said,

"Tess, come, this is Mr. White, call him Uncle White."

Having said this, a clean-looking young man entered through the door—it seemed he was White.

"...Eh?"

Faced with this sudden situation, Gladys naturally froze.

"Are you Tess? I often hear your mother talk about you, you really are a sweet child."

Saying so, White tried to pat Gladys’s head. But naturally, Gladys shied away.

"Tess!" the woman scolded, "That’s very rude!"

"It’s okay," White smiled, "It’s normal for children to be wary of strangers. She’ll warm up after a while."

"I..."

Gladys stepped back fearfully, unsure of what to do.

Just then, the door opened again, and Carl walked in.

"That damned store owner, seeing me in a hurry and still daring to overcharge me, thinking I don’t know the prices..." he paused, noticing the newcomers. "Oh, you’re here."

Carl’s expression turned serious upon seeing the two unexpected guests in the home.
