    Yu Sha stayed up all night. The heat in the morning prompted her to come to the window. The little girl lay in front of the window and stared at the noisy situation near the Customs Port of Macao . The migrant workers who came in and out of the gate were pouring into the sleeping Macao at the moment. At this time, the “nightmare” of last night also gradually came. Fortunately, the worldly ways in the morning made her feel safe.

    She also tried to tell her mother the truth about the monster she saw on the Black Sand Beach last night. She couldn’t help but wonder if the monster in the sea really stood up, whether the whole were where she lived in would be under the body of the monster……But she did not speak, on the one hand, because others may not believe, and on the other……

    Her Mom gently opened the door, with hot chocolate, afraid to wake her up.

    “You should go home early!” Yu Sha thought her Mom would say that. But she just caressed her shoulder-length hair uneasily with her hand and then left, instead of blaming her.

    Therefore, Yu Sha was more afraid that the world would really be destroyed.

    Yu Sha did not keep up with her Mom, and she used her silent eyes to say sorry——her Mom usually understood such a communication. But she was still in the absurd nightmare of last night. Now she fell into meditation and told herself again and again that was not true……Until the phone rang at that time, with a line of shocking words.

    “I’m waiting for you.” Except the Dinoman, no one in this era would choose to send text messages to communicate with each other.

    Perhaps now it was a good idea to call the police! But how could she describe this? Tell the police in writing that there were two monsters in the basement of the courthouse? They were not humans? If they didn’t believe it, you could take them to MUST to have a test! And the most damn thing was that, these two guys and their kind wanted to destroy the whole human?

    Maybe the police would just laugh……As she had no choice, Yu Sha stared at the baseball bat by the door for a moment.

    “If someone in the school bullies you, don’t hesitate, my baby. Take this……and wave it out like this!” However, her Dad’s teaching seemed to sound as unreliable as him, especially with such a “weapon” in the face of the great monster last night……

    Yu Sha could not get the answer, so she chose to find one. After silently encouraging herself for 11 times, she put on her shoes. At the 52nd time, she tremblingly walked down the dilapidated tenement building.

    On the bus to the court, Yu Sha did not think that the old man was also here today. He sat on the seat offered by her last time, and was still dressed exquisitely.

    But he was drunk today. Maybe it’s because of last night? Anyway, the strange old man was sleeping on the handrail today.

    Yu Sha carefully straightened the old man, for she knew that keeping this gesture for a long time would cause a stiff neck. At this moment, she silently cared for the homeless old man. Perhaps he wore the most gorgeous costumes every day, just to wander from one place to another.

    A commemorative coin of the casino slipped from the old man’s skirt. It rotated quickly.

    “Never guess the pros and cons of a coin. People always think they are lucky enough to guess the right answer.” The well-dressed old man was still sleeping, and this was just like talking in a dream.

    “But the devil likes the ignorant guesses of the people. He is waiting, waiting for people to wave the sickle at the moment where they think is invincible. ……Luck only encourages greed and arrogance. Luck is only an illusion given by the devil……No one can win forever.”

    So did this old man gamble all night yesterday and the lose all his fortune? This kind of event was not rare in Macao. Many people thought that they would get rich overnight. Maybe this old man was one of them. He punished himself with liquor last night, and now he regained his reason……Yu Sha couldn’t help but feel more distressed.

    Before getting off the bus, she folded the heavy suit jacket of the old man and put it on the armrest as a pillow……Maybe it would make the old man more comfortable.

    “You’re really a good girl.” Before the bus door was closed, the old man briefly opened his eyes and said some words in a drunk way. “Don’t be fooled by the past. Don’t be fooled by your eyes. The guess is not necessarily the truth. What you see is not……”

    The coin had just stopped rotating, and the answer was about to display, but the bus door was closed at this time and the old man continued to sleep.

    ……

    “Girl, you are coming down so slowly!” The Dinoman asked disgruntledly, but the egg-shaped robot beside him seemed to go to sleep at any moment, with his only big eyes drooping.

    “Go! I will take you to a place!” The Dinoman didn’t seem to be sleepy, but new scratches and voltage instability of the tiny robot caused its eye to flicker. Everything was telling Yu Sha what happened last night was true.

    “Where to go? To destroy the human being? Yesterday you said that you also wanted to destroy the human being! Yu Sha took a few steps back in horror. It was incredible. Yesterday it said something so horrible, but today it came to see me just like nothing happened-the Dinoman was so cheeky!”

    “Go! I’m not gonna help you……”

    Suddenly, Yu Sha felt a strange softness under her feet, and then the feeling of regret came to her like an electric shock.

    “Meow!” A black cat startled painfully, for its tail was accidentally trampled by Yu Sha.

    “Get rid of that ugly thing!” Seeing a cat made it just like seeing a plague. The face of the Dinoman was as ugly as a rain-drenched dog. His brown feathers were like some character in “Angry Birds”.

    It was strange that this little monster was stable as a mountain when seeing that great monster last night……But fear was undoubtedly a rare opportunity to ask for the truth.

    “So is it true that the Dinomen want to destroy the human being? You also want to destroy the human being?” The painful cat jumped up and down, so the Dinoman was scared to jump on the small robot for safety.

    “You want me to tell the truth, or a lie?” That sounded like an adult, so did the Dinoman still want to lie? However, seeing that the little monster was being messed up by a black cat at this time, Yu Sha felt that the monster was not so terrible.

    “Of course the truth!”

    “The truth is……Wait, stupid human, aren’t you afraid of this ugly creature? They are very patient, like to follow, and always hid the the darkness ready to ambush, and their claws are hidden in their hair……” Certainly it was the truth, or the Dinoman would not have told it out of fear.

    “Maybe it’s because the Dinomen look too much like birds, and also in a smelling way. If so……hey hey!” Yu Sha thought that the stray cats in this area were all hunters, so could the world be saved by preparing more cats for these Dinomen?

    “Answer my questions, or I will call more cats!”

    “Yes, to destroy the human, or drive them into the zoo made by the Dinomen……just like……oops!” The panicked cat’s hind leg pushed on the face of the Dinoman, and it was really a serious hit. “Just like your film, Jurassic World……just the humans and dinosaurs exchange their roles.”

    “Snap!” A coke was ripped to the ground by a cat, and the echo sounded like the heart of this little girl.

    “I’m telling the truth, or I can’t pass it with my heart. I can’t lie to other species, so you can still choose to help me or not.” When the cat approached again, the Dinoman drove it away with a stiff tail, and the tip of the cat’s nose touched its tail feather. The Dinoman’s tail opened immediately, and the cat was frightened. “Based on the principle of ‘Eta to Zen’, you still have the power to choose.”

    Rejection was like instinct, like a cat that was stepped on its tail. But she was not a cat, right? Yu Sha was well aware of the significance of the Dinoman looking into her eyes at this time-showing provocation and expectation. The moment the fear dissipated the little girl pieced together the courage. She saw a cat along the trash can and found a way out on the wall. Suddenly, the little girl realized something.

    Timing! At the right time, even cats can scratch the Dinoman! So……

    Although she could not speak, although she was only ten years old, although all the people in the world would cast their compassionate eyesight on herself, in essence those people were telling with their eyes that this pitiful child could do nothing in her life……even including her parents, but now……

    “OK! It’s not important for me to destroy the human being. Anyway, most of the people I know are duplicitous guys. It’s enough for you to remember what you said to me and meet my wishes after it is done. Anyway, it’s OK for my family to avoid the disaster……Just……” The determination to protect contributed to the lie. But was this a lie if it was just in the bottom of her heart, without being spoken out?

    The first “told” lie in her life. If there was no little monster, it would be no chance like that. The moment when the lie was reached, Yu Sha finally knew the reason why she loved to run——possibility! Running to the corner at full speed meant the possibility of seeing a new world again!

    As long as it would be the right time to reveal the Dinoman’s conspiracy, the world would be safe. But it was not now, so now she had to endure. The speaking adults could only see the simplest truth, so she must wait until the moment of revealing the truth. Yu Sha tried her best to hide this idea in the deepest heart.

    “I know you’d say that.” In a smile, the Dinoman put away the panic after encountering the cat. The little robot mumbled a few electronic sounds and spread out its metal forelegs. “Not so bad!” The text drifted in the eyes of the small robot showed its comfort. At this moment, Yu Sha felt that like this small robot, she was just the tool of this evil Dinoman.

    “I can help you, but you must promise to tell me the truth about everything.” Said Yu Sha, seeming to be powerless to defend her dignity.

    “Of course, I will not choose to lie to you unless I am afraid that you cannot stand it.” That sounded like a lie, the usual comfort of the adults.

    Reluctantly reaching a consensus, they began to walk in silence. Following the Dinoman, Yu Sha spent the time of silence to sort out the bad mood.

    It was not until the midday sunshine heated the gravel floor tiles at their feet that they stooped on the way down the hill on Rua da Felicidade . The mountain was not high, and it could only be called a hill based on the division standards of the human. But it was located in the center of the ancient city of Macao, so there were dense buildings here. There were both Chinese and Western buildings and they gradually blended together. Usually the low house of one or two floors had both the Chinese gate and the statue of the Virgin Mary.

    There were few tourists on the hills of ancient Macao. The local Macao residents wore brightly colored dresses or loose casual shirts. Some spoke Cantonese, some Mandarin, and others the languages of the Southeast Asia. Yu Sha saw the Dinoman stop somewhere. It was a shop with a special appearance. The little monster walked past with his tail wagging, and it felt like returning to its own home.
