After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2554 Joint Deception
This is because, as special individuals nurtured from fragments of the Hidden God, their power increases extremely quickly, and some even experience rapid mental growth, making it difficult for the experimental field to monitor them one by one.

Furthermore, the current research focus of Lingyun Palace is on the rapid growth period of the demon puppets, specifically the first four months. The Divine Descent Plan is too important, and the Heavenly Palace requires the demon puppeteers to devote their limited energy to this crucial phase of research.

Those like A-Lian who live for more than half a year are special cases personally approved by Duan Heyun, all because they have significant research value, and Xiao Ping still has some reservations about Duan Heyun's actions in extending her life.

The other puppeteers also gathered around the sand table, staring at it intently. Then one of them pointed to the light representing A-Lian and said:

She stopped. This location is not far from Baisong City.

There were human settlements nearby, but A-Lian showed no interest in them and even avoided them, a stark contrast to her previous behavior of lurking in the farm for three days.

It is evident that Ah Lian's mindset and behavior have undergone tremendous changes in the past few months.

She is now wandering around the outskirts of Baisong City, clearly wanting to enter the city.

Duan Heyun nodded. Through A-Lian's eye mites, he could capture what she saw in real time, so he wasn't flustered.

"Leave only number 317 and number 361 under observation, and recall all the others; Commander Zhao, bring ten men with me."

Then he remembered that Hu Xin had some tricks up her sleeve to please A-Lian, so he turned around and pointed at He Lingchuan: "Hu Xin, you come too."

"Yes."

……

Ah Lian is currently standing on a small hill on the northern outskirts of Baisong City, watching the excitement, as fireworks are being set off in the city.

Five shots shot into the sky in quick succession, and colorful sparks illuminated the sky above the city, leaving Ah Lian stunned.

The outside world is indeed wonderful; I really want to go into the city and see it!

Just then, an oxcart came along the official road, carrying two figures, one tall and one short.

Seeing Ah Lian standing by the roadside, a childish voice came from the car: "Who are you? Why are you standing on the main road?"

This was also a girl, about the same age as Ah Lian, with a wheatish complexion and a healthy blush on her cheeks, unlike Ah Lian's snow-white skin that never saw the sun.

She looked at A-Lian curiously; A-Lian was missing a front tooth and spoke with a slight lisp.

Ah Lian countered, "Where are you going?"

"In the city!" the little girl pointed towards White Pine City. "My father is a fireworks maker, and he's going to set off fireworks by the Blacksmith River tonight. Our family's fireworks are the best in the whole city, and they'll be the most beautiful in White Pine City tonight!"

What are fireworks?

The little girl exclaimed in surprise, "You don't know what fireworks are?"

Just then, a firework burst open above the city wall, shaped like a red lotus. The little girl pointed at it and said, "That's it! That thing that explodes in the sky is a firework! Fireworks are fireworks! Tonight is the Spring Festival, and there will be a parade and fireworks in the city. You don't know how beautiful it is when the fireworks in the sky are reflected on the water!"

Then she picked up a mask from the car and held it up to her face: "You can also play with masks."

This mask is a big, smiling doll-like face.

The driver was a lean man in his thirties. He looked A-Lian up and down, somewhat surprised: "Little girl, it's not safe on the road at night. Where are your parents?"

“In…” Ah Lian’s eyes darted around, “In the city.”

"Where in the city do you live?" the man asked. "We can give you a ride there since it's on our way."

Ah Lian just shook her head.

It's not surprising that such a young child can't explain where he is in his own home.

He's just a bit slow.

"Then I'll take you to the city government office," the man said. "Otherwise, you'll be picked up by someone very soon. In this city, children are very rare."

"Okay!"

Ah Lian made up her mind to go to the city.

The little girl moved aside to make room, and said with a smile, "Would you like to try setting off fireworks? It's so much fun!"

A-Lian's eyes immediately lit up: "Yes!"

The little girl then said to her father, "Daddy, shall we save the most beautiful dragon fireworks for her to set off?"

"Sure, let's release it on the Datie River."

The little girl made an exaggerated gesture: "My fireworks are much, much prettier than these in the sky!"

However, before Ah Lian could get onto the oxcart, someone called out to her from behind.

The little girl noticed that Ah Lian's face immediately darkened.

Then, Duan Heyun led about ten people and hurriedly arrived from behind the woods:

"How did you end up here? Didn't I tell you not to wander around?"

A-Lian pouted: "I want to go to the city!"

The man looked at her, then at Duan Heyun: "Is it your child?"

"Yes."

"I'm glad you didn't get lost." The man was about to start the oxcart. "Then let's head into town."

With a "whoosh," Ah Lian jumped onto the oxcart, startling both the adult and the little girl. The little girl exclaimed:

"How did you get up here?"

Duan Heyun frowned: "A-Lian, get down! Don't be rude."

"I want to go to the city!" Ah Lian puffed out her cheeks and glared at him fiercely. "I want to see fireworks, I want to go for a walk in the streets! You promised to take me in!"

She is essentially a divine being, and once she gets angry, who knows what will happen?

Before Duan Heyun could reply, "Hu Xin" spoke first:
“Master Duan promised to take you out, and he has already done so. If you want to go into the city, just say ‘agree’ first, and Master Duan will definitely keep his promise and take you into the city to have fun again.”

Upon hearing this, Ah Lian immediately shut her mouth, somewhat unwilling.

Hu Xin is really shrewd. Duan Heyun glanced at Hu Xin and said to her, "If you don't agree, then come down. Don't delay their entry into the city, or the fireworks won't be able to be set off from the city walls in a while."

Several more fireworks soared into the sky, bursting with vibrant colors. Gusts of wind carried the sounds of laughter and merriment from within the city to everyone's ears.

They were not far from the city gate, and from the low hill they could see a lively scene inside.

Even this tiny glimpse stirred Ah Lian's heart and mind.

She wavered again: "If I say I agree, will you take me into the city?"

Duan Heyun placed one hand behind his back and silently pulled out the spirit contract: "Yes. Read that sentence aloud."

Xiao Ping was right. No matter how much he loved the child, he couldn't let her lose control. A few months ago, A-Lian could kill dozens of people with her bare hands, and now her power was even greater. As a puppeteer, Duan Heyun's primary concern was her safety.

The safety of the experiment, and his own safety.

Taking advantage of Ah Lian's playful nature, this is the most likely opportunity to get her to agree willingly.

A-Lian took a deep breath and shouted, "I agree to become the skin of the god Helu!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the spirit contract signed her name on its own, then transformed into several streams of light and entered her seven orifices!
