Chapter 134: Even Crying Triggers Strange Black Mist! This Girl in the Yellow Dress is Too Hard to Control!
Successfully preventing the girl in the yellow dress from releasing the strange black mist that would have put everyone nearby in mortal danger, Lin Tianming felt relieved.
He admitted that approaching the girl in the yellow dress initially was a gamble. If she had become emotionally unstable and released a large amount of black mist, everyone around would surely have died.
But fortunately, his gamble paid off.
Hearing the girl in the yellow dress fearfully explain that she didn't mean to harm anyone, Lin Tianming quickly spoke to calm her down to prevent another emotional outburst.
"I know you didn't do it on purpose. It wasn't your fault that my eyes bled last night."
Hearing Lin Tianming's words, the girl in the yellow dress felt somewhat reassured.
"Really? You're not angry that I made your eyes bleed last night?"
Lin Tianming assured her: "Of course it's true!"
Seeing Lin Tianming's sincerity, the girl in the yellow dress still appeared uneasy.
"Then... aren't you scared? I'm an ill-fated person... anyone who gets close to me could be harmed or even die..."
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as you listen to me and keep your emotions stable, you won't hurt anyone!"
While calming the girl in the yellow dress, Lin Tianming also set up a meeting with Hua Yufei without mentioning he had found the girl. He planned to discuss with Hua Yufei how to handle this situation.
Lin Tianming's reassurance brought a touch of warmth to the girl, who was always filled with anxiety.
Feeling that she had found someone she could finally talk to about her troubles, the girl in the yellow dress couldn't help but say more to Lin Tianming.
"I also want to keep my emotions stable... I don't want to hurt anyone... but things keep happening that upset me, and there are always scary monsters and strange people trying to catch me..."
As she spoke, tears began to form in her eyes, and the strange black mist began to emanate from her again.
Can crying also release that strange black mist? This is too difficult to handle!
Seeing this, Lin Tianming quickly reminded her.
"Don't cry. Crying will also release the black mist that can harm people! Stay calm and keep your emotions in check!"
But his reminder only made the girl's tears flow more, and the black mist around her grew thicker.
"I... I don't want to cry... but I feel so wronged and sad..."
Seeing that the girl's emotional breakdown was about to cause another disaster, Lin Tianming quickly remembered the photo of her eating ice cream.
In a moment of inspiration, he suggested: "Don't cry, I'll take you to get some ice cream!"
The girl in the yellow dress looked at him with a hopeful gleam in her tear-filled eyes.
"Really?"
"Of course! Just come with me. As long as you don't cry, I'll buy you as much ice cream as you want!"
Lin Tianming then led the girl to a nearby ice cream shop.
Feeling reassured by his promise, and perhaps the thought of ice cream, the girl in the yellow dress wiped her tears and calmed down.
Soon, Lin Tianming found an ice cream shop and bought her a simple cone.
"Here, the ice cream I promised. See, I wasn't lying."
"Thank you!"
The girl in the yellow dress was overjoyed.
She had been working part-time to earn money to buy ice cream.
Seeing her temporarily distracted by the ice cream, Lin Tianming breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt like he was carrying a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment and needed constant attention to prevent it from going off.
From his brief encounters with the girl over the past two days, Lin Tianming concluded that negative emotions like fear and sadness, when accumulated to a certain level, would cause her to lose control and release the dangerous black mist.
As Lin Tianming was deep in thought, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve. He stopped thinking and saw that it was the girl in the yellow dress.
"What's wrong?"
The girl hesitated and said, "I... I want more..."
"More of what?"
"Ice... ice cream... You said I could have as much as I wanted..."
Hearing her request for more ice cream, Lin Tianming readily agreed, even exceeding her expectations.
"You can order any flavor you want. Tonight, it's on me. Don't just get the cheapest plain cone."
At that moment, Lin Tianming seemed to shine in the girl's eyes.
She picked up the menu from the counter, ready to try the ice cream she usually couldn't afford.
"This one... I'd like to try this one... but it's a bit expensive... is that okay?"
"Order whatever you want. I said it's on me!"
Lin Tianming's generous response won even more favor from the girl. She got to taste the ice cream she never dared to dream of.
Watching her genuinely smile while eating the ice cream, Lin Tianming became thoughtful again.
After a moment, he casually asked her: "What's your name?"
Hearing his question, the girl in the yellow dress looked despondent.
"I... I don't have a name..."
Although she felt down when mentioning her name, she wasn't emotionally unstable to the point of losing control.
Noticing this, Lin Tianming carefully chose his next words to avoid upsetting her too much.
"Do you have any friends?"
"No..."
Lin Tianming's questions were slowly making her more upset, but he needed to know more about her.
As long as she didn't get too overwhelmed, it would be fine.
The girl's expression change reminded Lin Tianming of old photos of her.
She was always alone, looking anxious and uneasy.
Only when she was eating ice cream did she show a hint of a smile.
To gain her trust and prevent her from disappearing and falling into the hands of the cult or the monsters, Lin Tianming racked his brain for a way to build a connection with her.
"Can I be your friend?"
His offer surprised the girl, who looked at him with w ide, unbelieving eyes.
"You... you want to be my friend? Aren't you afraid that someday... I'll... I'll accidentally harm you?"
