Chapter 262 You Are Really a Bad Guy

"Wow~~Big brother, how did you suddenly appear here?"

A loli voice came when Jin An stepped on the ground.

Jin An turned his head and saw a little girl in ragged clothes standing in front of him, with a hint of curiosity and vigilance in her eyes.

Jin An looked down at the little girl and murmured:

"Nicole Robin?"

The little girl in his memory will become the "Devil's Child" that will be circulated on the sea in the future, but now she seems so young and fragile.

Robin grabbed her clothes with her little hands, took light steps and stepped back silently.

It was suspicious that someone she met for the first time actually called out her name.

Jin An felt helpless when he saw her reaction. He seemed to be treated as a weird uncle by Robin. He was clearly called big brother just now...

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person..."

Jinan explained, trying to be as gentle as possible.

Robin shook his head and turned to run.

"Where would a bad person admit that he is a bad person..."

She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

But how could she possibly outrun Jin An?

Jinan flashed and appeared in front of Robin, blocking her way.

"If I were a bad guy, you wouldn't have the slightest chance to resist."

Jin An's tone was relaxed, but there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes.

"I just want you to do me a favor."

Although Jin An said this, Robin was still a little suspicious. She clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her eyes were full of vigilance.

"What do you need help from a kid like me?"

Jin An shrugged and said with a smile:

"As you can see, this is my first time here and I need someone who can show me the way."

Robin frowned slightly, feeling undecided.

She was confused and uneasy by the sudden appearance of this stranger and his request.

But she also knew that she had almost no choice in front of this strange and dangerous man.

"If you're not a bad person..."

Robin whispered, still with doubt in his eyes;

"Then can you promise not to hurt me?"

Jin An nodded, his eyes firm:

"I promise you, I won't hurt you."

"On the contrary, if you are in danger, I will protect you."

Robin looked into Jinan's eyes, as if searching for something.

Finally, she loosened her hands that were tightly clasped around the corner of her clothes and nodded gently.

"Okay, I'll take you a little way, but if you do anything strange, I'll run away immediately."

Jin An smiled and reached out to pat Robin on the head.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Robin felt the warm hand on his head, his head shrank, and he stared at him and said:

"You are indeed a bad person..."

She moved away and muttered:

"How can you touch someone's head when you first meet them..."

Jin An realized his own impoliteness, coughed dryly, and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm used to it..."

Robin's eyes completely changed when she looked at Jin An. She didn't expect that the man in front of her had already made it a habit to touch a girl's head...

Jin An didn't notice Robin's eyes. He looked around this archaeological holy site which was famous in the West Sea and even in the world.

"The Tree of Omniscience, what a pity..."

He looked at the big tree in front of him that blocked out the sky and sighed softly.

Robin's little ears moved, and he tilted his head and asked:

"Why would the Tree of All-Knowing be a pity?"

Jin An did not answer, but asked:

"How old are you now?"

Robin shrank back.

"I'm 8 years old and I'm already an official archaeologist!"

She wondered in her heart, he was really a weirdo.

“O’Hara is populated by scholars obsessed with history.”

Jin An suddenly turned to look at Robin, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"You know that sometimes having too much knowledge can also be seen as a thorn in people's eyes, right?"

Robin puffed his lips and said dissatisfiedly:

"What does the knowledge we possess have to do with other people? Your question is so boring."

Jin An looked at the pure desire for knowledge in Robin's eyes and understood that these scholars had indeed not thought about the way out.

"Okay, take me to the library on the island."

Jinan walked forward.

However, Robin did not follow. She shouted from where she stood:

"Hey, uncle, the direction you're going is a bit too far..."

Jin An said nothing, stopped, and changed direction.

"What a nice weather today..."

Robin glanced at Jin An and felt helpless. This person was not only strange, but also didn't know the way.

However, she didn't say much, just followed Jin An and led him in the right direction.

Along the way, Jin An felt Robin's gaze and couldn't help but slow down his pace.

He noticed the slight alertness and confusion on the little girl's face, and decided to try to put aside his excessive caution and try to make her feel at ease.

"Robin,"

Jinan spoke softly,

"I know you still have a lot of doubts about me, but I'm really not a bad person."

"Actually, I'm here to help."

Robin looked up, suspicion flickering in his eyes.

"Help? How can you help?"

Jin An smiled slightly and pointed to the All-Knowing Tree in the distance.

"For example, protecting the various knowledge you study."

Robin opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe what Jin An said.

A trace of doubt arose in her heart, because the Tree of All-Knowing contained the largest library in the world.

But the library has existed for who knows how many years, so why would it need someone else's protection?

"Although I am young, do you think I would believe such a thing?"

“The world is constantly changing, and no one can predict what will happen next.”

Jin An slowly spoke,

"Knowledge is priceless, and it would be a shame to destroy it like this."

"..."

"What a strange uncle..."

Robin looked at Jin An quietly.

His every move seemed a little weird, but it seemed that the other party was not a bad person.

Although she didn't quite believe what Jin An said, these words still planted a seed of doubt in her heart.

Robin bit his lower lip lightly and decided to ask other scholar grandfathers later if there was anything dangerous involved in the research.

She thought of the kind scholars who always smiled at her and patiently answered her questions.

Maybe, they'll know something.

"Robin,"

Jin An's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Are we almost there?"

"Yeah, right in front."

Robin pointed in the direction ahead and quickened his pace.

Jin An followed her and noticed her slightly nervous expression, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Such a young child has to bear so much pressure and responsibility.

The scholars at O'Hara are indeed worthy of respect for their pursuit of the truth, but they should also pay more attention to the situation of Robin.
