The system takes the poor cub to find his father

At the same time, the octopus monster, waving its countless tentacles, began to twitch violently without any warning. Its huge body seemed to be corroded by strong chemicals, and the pain swept through its body like a tide, causing it to roar in pain.

The tentacles that were restraining Ji Yungui also involuntarily relaxed their strength due to the severe pain in the octopus monster's body. Ji Yungui keenly seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and immediately released his remaining power, concentrating all his strength to attack the octopus monster's head.

"Ahhh!" The octopus monster let out a deafening roar of pain. Under Ji Yungui's fierce attack, the dark blue bead that gathered energy in the octopus monster's head was dug out. The octopus monster lost its energy bead, and the excruciating pain from the corrosion inside its body made it lose its ability to fight quickly. The huge monster fell heavily to the ground. It twitched and rolled a few times, and then it stopped moving. Then, the whole body of the octopus monster began to melt like water.

Ji Yungui, who was tense all over, finally let out a sigh of relief. Then he seemed to remember something and stumbled towards the octopus monster.

Little coal ball?? The little coal ball is still in the octopus monster's stomach!

He had to dig out the small coal balls from the octopus monster's body before it was completely decomposed.

He kept recalling the little details of his time with Little Coal Ball. Little Coal Ball has a strong learning ability and can now speak some simple words.

"What is Ji... Yun... Gui?"

“It’s my name.”

"I...want...a...name"

"Do you want a name, too?"

"…Um…"

"Then why not call me Ji Li? It sounds like we are one family."

Ji Yungui can still remember the little coal ball's ruby-like eyes that lit up instantly. They were so beautiful.

"Okay...I'll...you...one...family"

"... "

The wounds on Ji Yungui's body were bleeding profusely. His face was pale, but he still stubbornly gritted his teeth and headed towards the octopus monster.

After leaving the octopus monster's body, the dark blue bead flew towards Ji Yungui at lightning speed. Ji Yungui, who was worried about the little black mist ball, had no time to pay attention to it and stretched out his hand to try to intercept it. However, the strange bead seemed to have its own consciousness, avoiding Ji Yungui's touch and flying straight towards his eyes. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.

"Little coal ball? Little coal ball?" Ji Yungui didn't bother to check the strange bead. As the octopus monster died, its body slowly dissolved and gradually became transparent. The little black mist ball that was originally there was also gone.

Ji Yungui panicked and tried to stop it from disappearing, but it was all in vain.

Soon, the octopus monster's body was completely decomposed. Ji Yungui stood there sadly, and the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed that one could hear a pin drop.

With a "click", something rolled to Ji Yungui's feet.

A small gray ball rolled all the way to Ji Yungui's feet, rubbing against them before stopping. Ji Yungui's whole body froze, and he tried to suppress his excitement. After a long pause, he bent down and carefully picked up the small gray ball.

The color of the small ball is slightly lighter than that of the small black fog ball, and it is only covered by a thin layer of fog. Looking closely, in the middle of the thin layer of fog, there is a drop of red blood, which is firmly protected by them. Inexplicably, Ji Yungui can feel that this gray little bead is the small black fog ball that has always been with him and has been with him day and night. At this time, perhaps because of the dissipation of power, the small black fog ball has lost the ability to communicate with people.

Ji Yungui carefully held the small gray bead in his palm, the grief in his heart almost drowned him like a surging wave. His eyes were red, and tears flowed silently without him noticing.

Just when he was immersed in sadness and unable to extricate himself, suddenly, the mechanical electronic sound that had disappeared for a long time since he came to this world finally rang again.

【…】

[The instance is being closed, and the player Ji Yungui is forced to leave the game...]

【drop…】

Before Ji Yungui could react, an inexplicable halo enveloped him. His eyes were instantly blank. Before he left, he seemed to see fog slowly gathering where the octopus monster had disappeared.

"Wait a minute!" Ji Yungui wanted to see more clearly, but he was excluded from the copy the next second. His eyes went dark, and he knew nothing.

In the copy, in a place that was originally empty, black mist slowly gathered from all directions. After a long time, a three-headed cub with a similar appearance to the man who had just left appeared in the same place. His body was insubstantial, wrapped in a small black cloak, and his red pupils were full of confusion.

[The copy boss octopus monster has been killed, and a new boss has been born. 】

【Ji Li, welcome back. 】

Ji Li looked confused, as if he was trying to find someone. He looked around, but found nothing. Ji Li was inexplicably dazed. Then, the little cub walked into the hidden depths of the game with a gloomy face.

……

The surroundings returned to calm. Ji Yungui slowly opened his eyes, and the scar on his hideous face returned to its original appearance.

His eyes were instantly attracted to the soft little cub sitting opposite him. When he noticed the familiar red eyes of the little cub, Ji Yungui's expression softened. His eyes were so deep that they seemed to be filled with bright stars, as if he had thousands of words to say to the little cub. His mouth moved.

"Little coal ball~"

Ji Li was a little nervous, looking at his father who had a different aura from before. He wondered if his father would still have eyes full of him like before? But the moment the man opened his eyes, the little cub knew that his worry was unnecessary. However, the next second, Ji Yungui spoke, causing the little cub to frown again.

Little Coal Ball, who is he calling?

Humph, he wouldn’t have mistaken me for another baby!

Damn dad, I don’t want to pay attention to him anymore!

Ji Li walked out angrily, slamming the door loudly. Ji Yungui looked at the angry back of the little cub with a blank face. Doesn't he remember me?

Ji Yungui hurriedly got up and followed.
