Da Yu closed the maintenance door, carrying his mother through the water. The stench in the drainage channel was overwhelming, and the ground was all muddy, but none of that mattered now.
Zard chuckled and said, "Really saved her."
After two seconds of silence, Da Yu said, "Thank you."
"Why thank ," Zard responded, "After all, you were my boss once!"
Da Yu: "Thank you for reminding I used to be your boss!"
At this mont, they saw a red light flickering in the dark sewage channel. Da Yu leaned over to take a look: "It’s a life sign detection device to prevent people from ’smuggling’ through the drainage channel. Let’s go quickly, we’re running out of ti."
The two started running frantically again.
As Zard ran, he reminisced, "When I was young, right after my parents’ car accident and before my illness, the teacher had everyone write down their dreams on the podium. Others wanted to be astronauts, teachers, doctors, lawyers, but I wanted to be a scientist."
"Your dream isn’t that special," Da Yu sneered.
Zard laughed, "My dream was to be a scientist who could build a ti machine, go back to that sumr night of the car accident, and tell them not to go or accompany them. Later, whenever experts said on the news that ti reversal was impossible, I really hated them."
Da Yu fell silent.
Zard continued, "At that ti, I had just started living with relatives who treated poorly, so I walked seven kiloters to the cetery to see my parents. On the way, the police stopped and asked why I was out alone in the middle of the night. I said I wanted to go to the cetery to see my parents. The police were quite sad too, and they told to go ho first, and they would take during the day. But I disagreed because everyone said it was only at night that ghosts appeared, so I could only see them then."
In the dark drainage channel, only the sound of sloshing water remained. Over the years, Zard’s ntal state gradually beca uncontrolled until he was sent to a ntal institution by his relatives.
He wasn’t willing to face reality, because reality wasn’t warm.
Zard looked at Da Yu, smiling, "So if there’s a chance to save your mother, you must do it, or you will regret it. There’s truly no ti machine in this world, and if you do sothing you regret, you’ll regret it for life."
At this mont, Zard was especially normal, more normal than he’d ever been, so normal it was almost uncharacteristic.
When they erged from the drainage channel, Da Yu looked at the celestial Goddess suspended in the sky ahead, and besides her, there were thirty A-Class Fire God Zhu Rongs.
These deities blocked their path, preventing any further progress.
Da Yu sighed, "You guessed we couldn’t escape, didn’t you?"
No wonder Zard suddenly acted normal, simply because he knew he couldn’t hide anymore; he had to face reality.
Zard nodded, "Yes, the boss said if you see a life sign detection device in the drainage channel, it ans they anticipated our move."
Da Yu spoke to himself, "I’ll buy so ti. You can earth escape, take my Space Ring, and the containnt condition is that it must be fed a Taboo to recognize its owner."
The world’s only Space Ring, yet its containnt requires offering another Taboo as a sacrifice, a huge price!
Da Yu’s painting had been restored by the Death Shroud again, but just as he prepared to remove the Space Ring, Zard laughed and said, "You go on, whether a mother loses her son or a son loses his mother, it’s very sad. I have no attachnts, and even on the battlefield, soldiers like are more suited for the Suicide Squad."
Da Yu: "Shut up, listen to at monts like this..."
But as soon as the words fell out of his mouth, quicksand appeared at his feet.
Zard softly said, "If you die, Xiao Yu will die too. Go, don’t look back, rember to use that Longsword to play nursery rhys for Xiao Yu. I found it can record sound, and now the nursery rhys inside are all sung by ."
Da Yu was stunned; no wonder Zard had been singing to the Red Longsword whenever he had the chance, turns out he wanted to record his voice in the sword.
The soft sand quickly engulfed Da Yu, and Zard threw the Red Longsword into it too. The quicksand carried Da Yu and Chen Ningzhi swiftly toward the outer periter.
The thirty Fire God Zhu Rongs wanted to lt Da Yu into the ground, but though they exhaled red flas, massive sand waves surged like a tsunami, blocking all the fire!
Outside the city, the elderly Chen Clan artist laughed, "Truly touching, but they shouldn’t hold their breath underground for too long, they must co up eventually. Once you’re killed, they won’t escape either."
Zard shook his head, "You can’t kill ."
When he chose to drop the disguise and face this world, it was like a child suddenly raising the military flag and growing up.
A child yearned every night to return to that sumr of the past, as if by not growing up, that sumr would never end.
But today, he finally realized he couldn’t go back.
The child wasn’t frightened.
He chose to grow up because he wanted to protect others!
Zard’s ntal will soared, shooting straight to the sky!
In the ntal hospital, Xiao Yu always liked to ask Zard, "Zard brother, are you aweso?" Zard would laugh heartily and reply, "Of course!"
Zard laughed, "I’m really aweso."
In the next mont, his strands of hair turned red again, abruptly from the ground rose a giant hand, lifting Zard to the heavens.
