Chapter 349: Fiery Dawn

"What's... coming out of this thing...?" Xiao Tao stood there in shock.

"Ah, don't you know? This is a fire man. It's very common here."

Strelitzia folded her hands over her chest and casually kicked the ashes at her feet that were still emitting a trace of heat.

The ashes swirled in the air with the wind.

"Oh? So you can still see them. Then remember, this color is red."

"Red? But I've never seen it before. What if it's another color?"

Xiao Tao's voice trembled slightly, due to both the fear brought by the unknown things in front of her and the confusion about this unfamiliar color concept.

Strelitzia rolled her eyes and impatiently nudged Xiaotao. "What I said is true, and you haven't seen it before. Let's go, I'll show you my office!"

Having said that, he walked forward on his own, with quick steps, as if he couldn't wait to leave this place.

"I'm their child...will I become like this in the future and attack people?"

Strelitzia's steps suddenly stopped, her body stiffened slightly, then she slowly turned around, with that cynical smile on her face again.

"Maybe. After all, I've never seen anyone who can maintain this state all the time. Besides, you're such a weakling that even if you become like that, you'll just get blown up with one punch!"

"Don't use such metaphors!"

Xiao Tao stamped her feet, her face full of anger. "If that's the case, I will keep doing it until I see the sunrise! And then..."

"And then, what will happen?"

"Oh! Before I see the sunrise, I will never act impulsively like those people who are engulfed in flames, but after watching the sunrise, I may be able to let it go completely."

"You mean, after becoming a fire man, you will restrain yourself before watching the sunrise, but after watching the sunrise, you will let the flames engulf you?"

Strelitzia stepped forward and rubbed Xiaotao's head fiercely, "Do you know that if you do this, you will lose your life?"

"You definitely don't have the heart to attack me, but you won't let anyone else do it, so I can only end it myself. From what you described, the fire people seem to be in a lot of pain."

Xiao Tao gently slapped away Strelitzia's hand and muttered. She raised her head and, relying on the gradually rising warmth on her face, slowly aimed it towards the direction of the sun.

Her light pink pupils seemed to be injected with light and gradually brightened.

"I'm so obsessed with watching the sunrise because when I was born, I caught a glimpse of that dazzling light. It was the only color I saw in the darkness. Later, I heard others say that it was the sunrise. So I have always longed to see it clearly with my own eyes again, the color that I first saw in my life."

"Oh? Could it be that you can't see because you were blinded by the rising sun?"

"roll roll roll!"

Xiao Tao rolled her eyes at Strelitzia in annoyance and said, "I'm not going to waste my time on you. Seriously, you have to take me to see the sunrise!"

"Of course, I will definitely take you to see the sunrise!"

......

Strelitzia squatted down, placed her hands lightly on her knees, supported her delicate chin with her fingers, and looked quietly at the two people lying on the ground with curved eyebrows.

"Isn't the ground cold? Why don't you get up?"

After saying that, she slowly walked around behind Theresa, reached out her hand and gently tickled Theresa's bare feet.

"Watch this... Watch this!"

"Hahaha...you're so annoying!"

Theresa couldn't stand the playful teasing and screamed loudly.

She doesn't want to lie on the ground either!

But her body seemed to have suddenly short-circuited and stopped functioning without any warning.

This long-lost feeling reminded her of her previous control over her body balance.

It's been so long since I've experienced this that I almost forgot about it.

"Let's go...!"

Strelitzia held one in each arm and walked towards home with stealthy steps.

"Slow down... I feel a little uncomfortable..."

Theresa, who was tucked under her arm, grumbled softly, a hint of weakness in her voice.

"The blind man didn't say anything, so why are you complaining? Besides, you don't stutter anymore."

"Stuttering? Not good!"

As soon as she said that, Theresa realized something was wrong.

Damn it, damn it...it hurts so much!

"Hello? Hello! Why aren't you talking?"

Strelitzia noticed something was wrong and looked at Theresa, only to see that she had wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Okay, okay, one or two of them are like this. In the past, and now. It's impossible for me to lie down and sleep."

Strelitzia slowly turned around and looked back deeply at the house behind her shrouded in moonlight.

Then she withdrew her gaze, turned silently, and left with steady steps.

There are no memories that time cannot erase, and no pain that death cannot heal.

After an unknown amount of time, Theresa uttered a low moan: "Ah... my head hurts..."

She slowly got up from the ground, feeling dizzy, as if she had a hangover.

She rubbed her temples and looked around dazedly, then she was surprised to find that she was not in bed, but still sleeping on the cold ground.

What's going on? Strelitzia took us home.

"Awake, huh?"

Strelitzia's voice came from the side, but her eyes were not looking at Theresa, but at the darkness in the distance.

Theresa shook her head, trying to wake herself up, then stood up.

She habitually looked for Xiaotao, but found that Xiaotao was gone.

"Where's Xiaotao!"

"It's over there." Strelitzia raised her hand and casually pointed at Xiaotao on the cliff in front.

"cliff?"

Only then did she truly feel the whistling wind.

Only then did they realize that they were in the open space where they had sent Ergou.

The sky is like a canvas that is gradually lit up, and the deep blue is slowly replaced by orange and yellow.

Thick clouds piled up on the horizon, dyed with gorgeous colors by the rising sun.

Theresa inadvertently looked up at the sky, and the gradually brightening sky startled her.

Is the sun about to rise?

Theresa grabbed Strelitzia's collar with both hands and shouted.

"You...gave up!"

Strelitzia was pulled forward by the sudden movement, but she did not resist at all. She just looked calm, with a complex and indistinguishable emotion in her eyes, like helplessness and relief.

She raised her head slightly, looked over Theresa's shoulder, gazed at the distant sky that was about to break in the dawn, and spoke slowly.

"If you have anything to say... tell the little blind girl. She told me that if she were to become a fireman one day, her first wish would be to watch the sunrise."

After saying that, Strelitzia slowly straightened up, and gently but irresistibly removed Theresa's hand that was tightly grasping her collar.

Her eyes were filled with earnestness. She reached out and gently patted Theresa's shoulder, then continued, "I'm counting on you, Himawari. The sun is about to rise, and I...I'll be away for a while."

She walked towards the direction that would be illuminated by the rising sun, and her figure gradually moved away in the gradually brightening sky.
