The kids' faces turned pale with fear.
Just then, the lake started churning again.
After a while, a giant crocodile that was nearly seven meters long floated up.
Blood flowed out of the lake.
Everyone's expression was unnatural.
Even Frank was a little shocked.
Of course, he was one of the lucky ones.
After all, he had seen Raymond's true form.
That was why he knew Raymond was terrifying.
But that didn't stop him from being shocked.
The rest of the children were also frightened.
"You'd better leave. I'm leaving too. Once the monster in the water changes its appetite, we'll probably become its target," Frank said and turned to leave.
The kids didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly followed Frank.
Seeing this scene, Frank finally let out a sigh of relief.
If the kids didn't want to leave, it would be really troublesome.
Then he would inform Steven and let him handle it.
It was true that any means of invading someone else's territory was allowed.
But Steven was a public figure, so he couldn't be reckless.
As long as it was a stable society, minors would be protected as much as possible.
Even if a minor made a mistake, public opinion would often side with the minor.
"Jess, do you believe what he said?"
"Whether he's telling the truth or not, at least there's a terrifying creature in the water," Jess said and looked meaningfully at his companions. "Li Nan, you don't believe him?"
"No, I believe him," Li Nan said. Li Nan said, "Have you ever thought that if we can film a monster, then we'll be rich? Our video will cause a sensation, and we'll all become celebrities."
"But … that monster eats people." Jess was a bit scared.
After all, that thing could even kill crocodiles in groups.
It would probably be very easy to deal with them.
As for the Americans, they had been deeply affected by the monster movies.
They were all a bit scared. Would it cause more trouble?
"It's okay. That person said he comes here often. As long as he brings cows and sheep, he won't be attacked by the monster. It means that the monster doesn't have to eat people. It's fine as long as there's other food."
"Please, it's impossible for us to afford a cow, not even a sheep," Wang Yao said.
"Let's pool our money. Maybe we can. How much does a sheep cost? It's only a hundred dollars or so. "
After Li Nan's fear faded, he began to feel a little excited.
"Think about it, if we can film a real monster, as long as the video on Twitter has more than 10 million views, we can get 100,000 dollars."
"I won't participate. That's a real monster," a girl said firmly. "I don't want to take the risk."
"I'm not joining either."
The two girls in the small group expressed their stance.
None of them wanted to get into trouble.
The other two boys hesitated for a moment and finally chose to withdraw.
Only Jesse was hesitant. He was tempted.
Jess was the talk of the town in school.
He loved to be in the limelight.
He was also the one who led the fight against Frank.
Li Nan, on the other hand, came from a poor family.
His record in school is very poor.
What he wanted was not to be in the limelight but to make money.
"What if we don't find the monster, but the crocodiles find us?" Jayz said hesitantly, "Those crocodiles aren't worth much."
"It's fine as long as we don't go near the water source. Crocodiles can't run as fast as us on land."
"Are you sure the monster won't eat us like snacks if we find it?"
"We can disguise ourselves. Monsters are monsters after all. It'll be fine."
"Uh …"
"I can get a gun," Li Nan said. "My dad has a gun."
"Please don't." Jayz was calmer. "Your gun can't even kill crocodiles, let alone that monster."
…
Didira was building a castle on the beach with Gerlyn, Mera, and Sindora.
Chen Zhao realized that Didira was really calm and reserved.
She was the model daughter of a rich family.
Chen Zhao didn't dislike Didira. He just hoped that she could be more open-minded.
Didira wasn't like other kids who liked to make a fuss, or be gluttonous or cry.
Even Portia would throw a bit of a tantrum.
But Didira wouldn't.
Didira didn't cry at all. Instead, she helped Chen Zhao and Fali take care of the kids.
Of course, Chen Zhao could still see some of Didira's immature behavior.
For example, when they were shopping, Didira wanted to buy something.
She would look at those things carelessly.
But when Chen Zhao looked at her, she would avoid it and pretend to be careless.
Chen Zhao was very troubled.
Lying on the chair, Chen Zhao looked at Didira.
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhao took out his phone and called Navotz Singh.
"Nawotz, I want to ask you something."
"Chen, what do you want to ask?"
"I think Didira is too introverted. It's even a bit abnormal."
A child from a normal family wouldn't be so introverted.
Whether it was in the East or the West, the current society gave children too many opportunities to interact with the outside world.
Therefore, many of the children's characteristics were nurtured.
Chen Zhao was worried that Didira had some mental illness, even depression.
Depression was a very scary mental illness.
Of course, it wasn't scary for others.
Depression didn't cause damage or harm to others.
It would harm oneself.
Some patients with depression had some symptoms when they were young.
Parents didn't pay attention to it, causing the illness to worsen. In the end, they would walk a path of no return.
This wasn't what Chen Zhao wanted to see.
He didn't know how to treat depression either.
So, Chen Zhao wanted to take Didira to see a psychologist.
However, Chen Zhao was also worried that taking Didi to see a psychiatrist would cause more serious psychological trauma.
Chen Zhao planned to ask Navotz Singh about it first.
"Didira, her background isn't good," Nawotz said. "Her parents died in an accident when she was very young, and she was fostered at her uncle and aunt's house. I heard that her uncle and aunt didn't treat her well, and even beat her." Nawotz Singh said.
Nawotz paused. "Didira's worried that she'll be abandoned."
"Okay, got it."
Hearing this, Chen Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
It was a trauma, not a mental illness.
Mental trauma wasn't good either.
But at least it could heal her trauma.
If it was a mental illness, it would be troublesome.
Chen Zhao stared at Didira. After a while, he called Fali.
