You should accept it.
The robin thought for a moment, then took the sachet. She looked up, stretched out her hand to look at the girl, and asked:
"Little girl, what's your name?"
"Ask...ask my name? Angel sister, are you asking my name? I...I..."
The girl's cheeks flushed red, and she spoke incoherently.
This celestial being actually asked my name? Aren't all celestial beings gods? How could this be... how could this be...?
In the little girl's mind, she was making random knitting patterns.
Yes! I was asking for your name.
The robin nodded, casually pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, quickly wrote his name on it, and handed it to the girl.
"This is my signature. It's fair that we exchanged our names, isn't it?" The robin smiled sweetly.
"I...I'm called Nia!"
The girl raised her head and looked directly into the robin's eyes.
She turned over the note the robin had handed her, wrote her name on it, and handed it back.
The robin took the note, glanced at the words on it, and was about to put it back in her pocket when she noticed Nia's arm.
On that fleshless arm, there were five or six cuts, oozing blood, with the skin and flesh turned outwards.
These are... marks from being hit with a cane?
The robin's expression changed slightly. He looked at Nia again, grabbed her shoulder, took a deep breath, and said:
"Tell your sister, what happened to the scratches on your arm?"
"Ah! Lu Yiqi (Part 1) Sisi Ba"
Nia screamed and pulled her arm back.
"I...I accidentally fell into the bushes. It's true! It's really true!"
The girl emphasized her words, but her eyes darted away.
"Tell the truth! Did your brother do something to you?"
"No! Nothing at all!"
Nia shook her head and ran straight for the door.
The robin reached out, trying to grab Nia back.
But then she turned her head and felt it was impolite to concern herself with other people's business, so she shook her head and withdrew her arm.
Just as the robin withdrew its arm, footsteps sounded at the door.
Do!
Dodo dodo!
Footsteps approached.
Where did that little rascal run off to?
"If we catch her, we shouldn't just execute her! We should subject her to slow slicing! Whip her! Scrape off chunks of her flesh!"
"That's not good at all. In my opinion, even if she's malnourished and hasn't grown up, she shouldn't be wasted..."
The voices of the Imperial Guards could be heard.
The sound was more than ten meters away; if Robin hadn't been a traveler of destiny, she wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.
She also heard the Imperial Guards running towards the equipment room.
We can't let Nia get caught!
The robin pursed its lips, stepped forward, and grabbed Nia's shoulder.
Nia screamed, but Robin beat her to it, covering her lips, hugging her, and stuffing her into the pile of equipment next to her.
"Someone's coming... If you want to live, keep quiet."
"The robin whispered."
Nia nodded, tears welling in her eyes.
Just then, the footsteps of the Imperial Guards grew louder and louder. Before long, they ran to the door and smashed open the equipment room with a bang.
"Who! Who's inside?"
Two guards burst in. The first thing they saw was the robin, and they shouted at her, raising their flashlights to shine into her eyes.
"ah!"
The robin covered her lips, her face turned pale, and she made a terrified expression, but her heart remained calm.
"I...I'm still short of equipment for my performance. I've come to see if there's anything I can use...What happened?"
The robin's voice trembled, but its little eyes darted around, observing the two imperial guards.
However, the faces of these two people remained as smooth as stone.
“We received a report that a commoner had broken into the noble district and we must search it. We apologize for the alarm.”
"That's what the fat guard on the right said. However, although he apologized, he didn't even glance at the robin."
"You two have really worked hard. However, I have already checked this house and there are no suspicious people here."
The robin smiled faintly, but her fist was already clenched as she reached behind her back and pulled out her microphone.
"Miss Robin, it's not up to you to decide whether there's a thief. We have to investigate ourselves."
"The fat imperial guard said. Without waiting for the robin's reply, he stepped forward, moved closer to the big star, and grabbed her shoulder.
"Excuse me! This is for official business, please do me a favor."
"Is this how you treat outsiders?"
The robin frowned and spoke more emphatically.
"This is a decree issued by the Governor! Please do not obstruct official business!"
The Imperial Guard stared blankly, then pushed the robin aside with force and ran towards the pile of debris behind him.
Nia huddled in the pile of junk, hugging the ball, trembling, not daring to make a sound.
The robin pursed her lips. She was gentle by nature, but the thought of Nia's future made her face darken.
If... I still can't protect a little girl
What kind of "strong aiding the weak" is that?
"and many more!"
The robin shouted, turned around, and picked up the microphone.
Chapter 154 The Death of Su Chang
The power of harmony surges forth like a tide.
The Imperial Guard's hand was already reaching for the wrecked equipment, but the movement stopped abruptly, and he turned his head in surprise.
"You said wait... wait for what?"
The Imperial Guard's words were serious, but his expression softened considerably.
Harmony! Useful!
Although disrupting one's mental state is not good, right now, for the sake of human life, one can't care about that anymore.
The robin thought to itself, "I need to increase my energy output."
“Brother Imperial Guard, I can plead with the Governor on your behalf. But if you damage important equipment and attract a lawyer's letter from outer space, then the problem will be very difficult to handle.”
The robin emphasized, his brow furrowed, sweat trickling down his forehead, and the power of harmony rippled outwards.
The fat imperial guard stopped in his tracks, neither moving nor speaking, but simply gazing silently at the robin.
After hesitating for half a minute, the person finally nodded.
The fat Imperial Guard waved his hand, and together with his companions, they left the equipment room, their footsteps pattering as they gradually disappeared into the distance.
The footsteps gradually faded away.
The robin let out a long breath, her legs feeling slightly weak. To save Nia, she had used up too much energy in that short time.
The Imperial Guard's faith... is it really that strong? Even the power of harmony can hardly shake it.
The governor behind them is very likely to possess strength comparable to that of the Qi Xiang Choir.
As the robin pondered, a rustling sound reached its ears.
Only then did she remember that Nia was still huddled in the pile of junk, shivering.
"It's okay! You're out now."
The robin said softly, pushing aside the clutter, and saw the little girl with her arms crossed over her chest, but her head held high.
She gazed into the robin's eyes, tears welling in her pupils, but she held them back. Nia's lips moved; after a moment's hesitation, she bowed slightly.
"Thank you, sister! I still have some local specialties at home!"
"No! No need! You can keep it... You're still growing, and remember to fight back if your brother bullies you."
"But he's my brother! He protected me during the war, and because of that, he lost a leg."
Nia looked directly into the robin's eyes and said softly, "I'm sorry! Goodbye, sister. I will repay you in the future!"
After saying that, Nia turned around, jogged towards the iron gate, and with a thud, pulled the door open.
The girl ran quickly and gradually disappeared into the distance.
The robin raised its head, looking at Nia's back, clutching the two sachets tightly, still warm from the girl's body.
Nalando needs hope...
Even if the conditions are not ideal, we must hold the concert as scheduled and spread the good news of "harmony"!
The robin clenched its fist, and the sachet in its palm deflated.
"But...where the performance takes place is up to me!"
The robin murmured, raised its head, a determined light flashing deep in its pupils, and took a big step towards the outside.
……
Back to Spa...
Spa, with Su Chang in tow, slipped into the passageway, descended the rope ladder, and swept across a long, dark path before finally touching the ground.
Boom!
Spa landed on the ground, and the surroundings lit up again.
He shifted his gaze and saw a long corridor laid out before him, with orange candles lit on the surrounding walls.
The corridor stretches deep into the distance, its end nowhere in sight.
That Holy Church... actually has such a large underground space? Nobody would believe it unless they were hiding something.
Spah sensed his surroundings and, not recognizing any danger, waved to Su Chang, signaling her to move forward.
"Take the Jade Blessing! If something unexpected happens and I am unable to destroy the Abundant Creation in time, you must notify the outside world immediately."
Spah muttered to himself.
Instead of smoking as usual or taking out snacks to chew, he took out an energy drink and gulped it down.
Next, we must venture deeper into the Fool's territory... With that guy setting things up, we can't be too careful.
Spall thought to himself.
Although Su Chang was usually oblivious, she nodded upon seeing Spa's expression and gripped the jade tablet tightly in her hand.
She wondered: What exactly is hidden behind this Holy Church? Why is even an envoy like Spah so on high alert?
I need to keep things clear and not hold things back.
The girl's heart was pounding.
