Chapter 1512: Final Chapter: Sea Chapter [18] "Phoenix's Prelude."

Chapter 1512: Final Chapter·Sea Chapter [18]· "Phoenix's Prelude."

The power of a witch.

It is enough to transform an "ugly duckling" into a powerful and noble white swan, and it is enough to transform a ragged girl into a beautiful princess.

Tao'er turned around, her snow feathers fluttering, silver flowers all over the ground, and quickly turned around and ran down:

"I'll go down the mountain right now to help you figure out what's going on, God!"

Bei Wang's words were stuck in his throat.

The girl didn't seem to care about the danger of such power, she was just happy that she could help God.

After going down the mountain, Taoer passed by the Hibiscus School and heard the sound of reading. When Mr. Zhu, who had a goatee, saw Taoer outside the window, he was shocked for a moment, then he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and picked up the ruler:
"Tao'er! Come here! Why are you dressed like this? Did the evil god on the mountain do something to you?"

"Teacher! I'm busy!" Tao'er ran away quickly. The frost and snow under her feet were very light, and she slid out easily. She heard the noise of children coming from the school:
"Tao'er is so beautiful!"

"Hush! My mother said that a god who cannot protect the townspeople is not a god, but a monster! Monsters want to eat people. Tao'er took his clothes and will be eaten by him soon!"

"No, Tao'er is still very good... Oh, right! Let's ask the little lucky star family at the entrance of the town to exorcise the evil spirit for her!"

...little lucky star.

Tao'er had sharp ears and quickly heard the word. During this period, a little girl who was originally regarded as a "burden" in the town suddenly became lucky. The hens she touched laid many eggs, the pregnant women she helped with difficult labor gave birth to twins, and she even picked up a wounded major general in a big city. His wounds were fatal, but she applied some herbal medicine and he was lucky enough to recover.

From then on, no one in the town disliked her.

"The danger God talked about...could it be referring to her?" Tao'er thought for a moment and ran towards the town entrance.

Along the way, she passed many people, including Aunt Shen who sold vegetables, Aunt Zhao who sold fish, and Mr. Li who worked as a blacksmith... When they saw her, they all pointed at her in shock.

"Yang's Ah Tao is possessed by evil spirits!"

"Look at her, look at her, what is she wearing? She is walking with flowers, this must be done by the evil god!"

"I've said long ago that we should destroy the evil god on that mountain. Wang Ergou chased a rabbit up there before, but he finally escaped back. That evil god has no power at all!"

"Oh my, is Ah Tao heading towards the town entrance? Stop her quickly. The major general from the city is accompanying Little Lucky Star in a blessing ceremony. Don't ruin the fortune of the whole town!"

The cold wind blew across her cheeks. Tao'er covered her ears and kept shouting:
"I'm not possessed!"

"God is not a bad person! He has never eaten anyone. Wang Ergou fell and was injured, and it was He who sent him back!"

"The Lord God just loves to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. He has never done anything else!"

At the entrance of the town, Taoer saw the grand blessing ceremony at a glance.

Big red lanterns were hung high, and hanging from them were inappropriate red silk, blessing cards, and even tarot cards. Below the platform, the townspeople looked on expectantly, throwing their coins upwards. On the platform stood a major general with a military rank and regular features, and a girl with blonde hair, purple eyes, and a friendly temperament.

"Azi!" Taoer shouted.

In the past, as marginalized people in the town, she and A Zi got along very well, but ever since A Zi became a lucky star and dyed her black hair blonde, they suddenly became strangers to each other.

The blonde girl with purple eyes glanced at her calmly and said to the townspeople:
"...Townfolks, you can stop throwing coins. Next, we will enter the final step of praying for blessings."

She took out a red button and said gently:
"Please, the most respectable one among you, press this button."

"This is the final step of the blessing ceremony. After pressing the button, our entire town will be shrouded in the glow of good fortune. But when you press the button, please accept it wholeheartedly. Don't waver or feel any aversion."

...You need someone who is virtuous and respected, and you need to accept him wholeheartedly... God has told me about this. This is a classic way to summon evil gods. Using this method, it is very likely to summon beings with bad intentions... Tao'er rushed forward and tried to pry open the red button:

"Azi! Don't make the same mistake over and over again! You are already a lucky star, you must have made a deal with the bad guys, isn't that enough?"

Ah Zi glanced at her calmly and said, "You look like this, haven't you made a deal with the bad guys?"

"The Lord God is different!" Taoer said without hesitation.

"Really? In my eyes, 'they' are no different." Ah Zi gently pushed her hand away: "... accept it, we are just roles, just for people's entertainment. Only with 'their' guidance can we find the true meaning."

Tao'er didn't understand what Ah Zi said, and said hesitantly: "You...you are no longer the Hui Zi I knew..."

Ah Zi didn't care and snorted coldly: "Get out of here!"

At this time, a voice came from afar:
"A Tao! Come down quickly! Mom will help you with whatever you want. Don't be impulsive! Don't be possessed!" It was a woman with tears streaming down her face. She pushed through the crowd, knelt on the ground, and couldn't stop begging her.

Mother... my adoptive mother... Taoer hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, the major general next to him drew his sword and stabbed it into Tao'er's chest. His sword was so fierce and fast that the girl had no time to react.

Blood flowed out and Taoer fell to the ground.

She heard a dim voice.

"…This girl is possessed by evil spirits. She needs to be buried with black dog blood." The mayor said solemnly.

"...Save her first. We watched Tao grow up. She will recover." Aunt Shen pleaded.

"...No, she has offended the little lucky star. What if the blessing ceremony fails?" An old man's voice said, "Bury her. It must be buried to make it clean."

Tao'er saw her foster mother kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, begging for her life. Her forehead was broken and blood was flowing out.

However, those who are high and mighty will always be high and mighty. The woman's constant kowtow only makes those who cannot bear it more unbearable and makes those in power enjoy more pleasure.

Taoer saw the mayor take the red button.

She saw A Ziyin's expectant eyes.

She saw Mr. Zhu chasing after her with a ruler in his hand. His expression changed immediately when he saw that she was injured. He kept persuading the mayor to send her to the hospital.

She saw the boy Wang Xiaoer who was playing hide-and-seek with her running over with the doctor, shouting at her to hold on.

No...no!
Something is wrong with A Zi. If that red button is pressed, the thing that the gods are worried about... will definitely happen!

"I'm..." Her shrill voice came out of her throat: "Save you..."

Auntie, Aunt Shen, Grandpa Liu, the mayor, Mr. Zhu, Wang Xiaoer...

"Bury her." The mayor's voice was cold.

"Please spare A Tao! Her mother died early... I will discipline her well in the future..." Chen A Niang couldn't stop crying.

"Buried." The mayor said lightly.

Several tall and strong townspeople came to drag Taoer.

“Crack, crack.”

A subtle, frosty sound was heard.

Just as the mayor ordered her to be buried, Taoer heard the voices.

One after another, frost flowers gradually bloomed around her. Her wounds began to heal, her breathing became less stagnant, her skirt danced like the Milky Way, and the frost flowers on the ground turned into silver butterflies dancing...

The gods gave her great power, and now she is like a princess...

Her arm moved, aiming at the red button.

"boom!"

There was a crisp sound.

A huge frost flower grew from the ground and knocked the red button out of the mayor's hand. A silver butterfly fluttered and handed the red button to Tao'er's palm.

Amidst the horrified gazes, Tao'er slowly floated up. Celestial wings grew behind her, her ears were like corals, and wave after wave of silver-white waves flowed over her skirt, making her look like a god.

How could such a holy person be an evil god? How could the god who was willing to tell her the story of the magpie hero be an evil god?

Tao'er held the red button and looked at A Zi.

"Your plot has failed."

"God... um, with me! I will protect everyone and will never let your plot succeed!"

At this time, the confusing effect of Hui Zi gradually faded, and people vaguely realized that they had trusted Xiao Fuxing too much just now, and it was even a bit like brainwashing. They hesitated for a moment, and gradually looked at Hui Zi with suspicion.

Hui Zi stood there quietly and raised her head.

A few drops of rain fell on her forehead.

……

"【After the Frozen Man defeated the bad guys, the two continued their adventure." Lun Xue held her chin, drank the hand-ground coffee in the office, and turned to the third page:
“【In the forest, Jellyfish met new friends, Brother Leaf and Brother Bamboo.】”

"【Brother Zhuzi is a man who doesn't like to talk much, but he always completes everything very silently.】"

"【Once, Jellyfish met some very bad adults. At the critical moment, Brother Bamboo took action.】"

……

Red Tower, Royal City, Edge District 31.

The sky was filled with misty clouds, and the air pressure was low and heavy.

Under the high tower, Lu Shu leaned against the wall, watching the escort teams passing by.

This was the most remote area of the royal city, responsible for executing the unforgivable death row prisoners. Fully armed guards escorted the desperate, angry, or crying death row prisoners into the tower one by one, and then, there was a not-so-loud gunshot.

Dang——dang——dang——

The sound of the bell covered up many other sounds, the white doves on the bell tower fluttered their wings, and everything seemed quiet.

These people are the criminals of last night’s underground rally and the massacre of civilians the day before yesterday. Some are guilty and some are innocent.

Gradually, the escort team came to the end of the team, and Lu Shu saw a familiar figure.

Lu Shisheng.

Lu Shisheng's eyes were no longer sharp, his head was no longer held high, and his body was covered with egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves. Seeing Lu Shu, he smiled without any bitterness:

"This is what happens when you do stupid things."

Lu Shu's eyes changed slightly.

Lu Shisheng had expected that even though he was undercover beside Bai Qiu to find out who was behind the scenes, he would inevitably be stained with blood. Once he became unclean and needed to take the blame, the superiors would have ten thousand reasons to kill him.

“Do you regret it?” Lu Shu stood with his arms folded, the black knife resting on his shoulder.

"I regret it... a little." Lu Shisheng slowed down his pace slightly: "But what I regret is that I failed to save the lives of civilians and failed to catch the mastermind, not that I regret my own actions."

The guards escorting Lu Shisheng slowed down their pace, willing to give him some time to leave his last words.

"I can't save you." Lu Shu said.

"Well, I know it's too difficult to go against the royal family..." Lu Shisheng expressed his understanding.

"No, what I mean is." Lu Shu shook his head: "All this has already happened, I can't save you."

This has already happened throughout history.

The fate of Lu Shisheng that Lu Shu met was already determined.

Lu Shisheng didn't understand the meaning, and gradually resumed his pace and walked towards the tower.

Suddenly, he said, "Xingdong, there is a gift I left for you in the place where you and I played when we were young... just think of it as a relic."

Lu Shu was stunned. He knew where it was. It was in the backyard.

He watched Lu Shisheng gradually walk into the tower, as if he was walking into a bloody mouth.

Before going in, Lu Shisheng turned his head back.

He raised his head and felt the cool rain on his cheek.

"It's raining……"

"It hasn't rained in Hongta for a long time..."

He slowly turned around and took one last look at Lu Shu:
"Lü Xingdong."

"Let me ask you...if, I mean if, if my report is successful, and Bai Qiu is successfully captured and killed, will everything change? Will more people be saved?"

Lu Shu was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he slowly shook his head under Lu Shisheng's calm and sincere gaze.

Bai Qiu is dead, but Vivian is still alive.

Vivian is dead, but the politicians are still alive.

Some things die, and some things don't die.

"Really? Nothing will change." Lu Shisheng turned his head and slowly walked into the darkness:

"yes……"

……

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

……

The bell tower rang, the white doves flapped their wings, and the clear sunlight slid across the mottled shell of the lighthouse building.

……
