Max Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey…?
Chapter 567: Dad

Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Dad

Chu’s father felt both afraid and regretful.

He regretted why he had come to this point, why he had become like this.

But now there was no turning back.

With gritted teeth, Chu’s father could only carry on, inching forward on his knees one step at a time.

Although Chu’s father could not see Chu Xi and Chu’s mother,

he didn’t know that at this moment, Chu Xi and Chu’s mother were still watching him.

As Chu’s father had just walked a short distance, Chu Xi and Chu’s mother could still clearly see where he had reached.

When Chu’s father stopped, Chu Xi wanted to say something.

But without much hesitation, Chu’s father continued to move forward.

Chu’s mother wiped the corners of her eyes, looking worried, "Xi, do you think your dad can endure this? He’s so old already..."

Chu Xi felt uncomfortable inside, his lips moved, but in the end, he could only say almost numbly, "Don’t say we’re making Dad exchange his life for it, even if we were to exchange both his life and mine, we would still have to do it. We are the ones who wronged Third Sister; how innocent was she?"

Chu’s mother opened her mouth but could not speak; she could only cover her face and cry, already filled with immense regret.

Chu Xi looked in the direction where Chu’s father had gone.

Actually, accompanying his father back this time, his intention was not to continue involving his two sisters, not to drag them into misfortune with him.

It was his own mistake that had to be corrected.

As for the child...

He didn’t want it anymore.

Only, this was Chu’s father’s lifeline, which he knew very well, so he used it to hold a grip on Chu’s father.

...

When Chu’s father crawled to his daughter’s grave, more than two hours had passed, and half of his life had been spent.

Inside the graveyard, his vision began to fade in waves; he knelt and panted heavily where he was, licked his dry lips, and then mustered the strength for the last few crawls.

However...

Just as he arrived at the grave, Chu’s father looked up to see the black mist swirling around.

There, in front of the grave, stood a little girl.

The girl, looking to be only seven or eight years old, stood at the front of the grave, staring straight at Chu’s father.

Under the moonlight, Chu’s father could see her features clearly and almost didn’t catch his breath, unable to even scream.

The girl was covered in blood, especially on her chest and head.

Her face looked as though it had been smashed by a heavy object, completely caved in, her facial features crushed into an indistinct mass, unrecognizable, a blur of blood intermixed with yellow, white, and red fluids, oozing slowly down her bones.

Her chest was even more violently indented, as if a huge hole had been gouged out.

The blood dripped, drip-drip, onto the ground, turning the grass immediately into a stark red.

Chu’s father collapsed in fright, his face spasming wildly, his complexion paler than the moonlight, his whole body trembling, unable to utter a single word.

It was then that the little girl, still staring at him, called out, "Daddy."

On hearing this, Chu’s father jolted violently, his eyes reddening quickly.

The girl’s voice was somewhat twisted and distorted, like the screeching of sharp nails scraping a tabletop, but sounded innocent.

"Daddy, are you here to take me home?" she asked.

Chu’s father’s emotions instantly became complicated; for a moment he didn’t know what to think, but he gathered his courage and moved a little closer, "Is that you, Third Sister?"

Third Sister was the little girl’s name.

Hearing Chu’s father call her name, she seemed to be very happy, her voice brimming with excitement, "Daddy, it hurts so much. Will you take me home, please? I don’t want to stay here; it’s not fun at all..."

Chu’s father’s throat ached dully, his eyes so sore that he could hardly stand it.

Perhaps at this moment, he truly felt what it meant to regret.

In a hoarse voice, Chu’s father said, "Okay, Daddy will take you home..."
