Hei couldn't understand why a reconnaissance in advance turned into a decisive battle, let alone what happened. There would be so many monsters in the old city that Ceylon was still holding a meeting to decide whether to violently drag Xinxi Tower away. , to avoid further attacks.
"How long will it take for the Origin Stone Energy-Gathering Tower to be ready?"
"Boss, we have already entered the assembly stage. It will be ready in another hour."
Hei was in a irritable mood, she had not felt better these past few days.
I hope the allies can hold on, they have such strong firepower and the secret weapon Peacemaker, it should not be a problem to deal with the cluster monsters.
The more Hei thought about it, the more worried she became. The numerical disadvantage was irreparable with firepower. If the monster broke through the old city again and invaded the main city, how much power would she have left to put in to eliminate it?
"Let the R&D department hurry up, we don't have time to wait, the war has started in the old city now!"
She picked up the weapon box, stood up and left the office. Instead of sitting here, she might as well go to the front line and see for herself.
When Hei walked to the door, he saw a man wearing a peaked cap and was startled. He quickly walked forward and took the man's arm towards the parking lot.
"Master, why are you here?"
It was Herman who came. His sudden visit caught Hei off guard. Now, not many people knew that he was back, and they were all trustworthy. If this news got out, it would be absolutely explosive.
"Hei, I just want to see you and Ceylon."
Herman's words made Hei frown and asked: "Master, why do you say such things?"
The man whispered: "Do you have time now?"
Yes, even if there is no time, we still have to squeeze in time. Hei nodded: "Where are we going?"
"seaside."
"good."
She is still the little girl, and the master is still the same master.
Whatever the master said was what he said, she never asked more questions.
The car carrying the two people crossed the coastal road. This controlled road was smooth and it took only a few minutes to reach their destination.
The front of the car rushed down the end of the road and landed on the beach. The wheels spun at high speed, splashing a lot of sand and leaving two deep ravines on the soft beach.
Hei was driving very fast, and she seemed to be suppressing something in her heart. She didn't stop slowly until she was about to rush into the tide.
It was obviously daytime, but the sky was as dark as evening. The sea breeze blew hard and fast, blowing white flowers and smashing them on the beach.
Herman opened the car door, took off his peaked cap, and his white hair flew wildly on his forehead.
"Hei, you are upset. You are not a competent assassin."
"Sir, I will recover soon."
"Really?"
The man with a straight back gently pressed Hei's head and said calmly: "Yesterday during the day, a person came to see me. I already know it."
Yesterday during the day?
Hei only knew that she was supervising the work of the Source Stone energy-gathering device, and someone took advantage of the gap between her and Ceylan to go to work and directly approached the master.
"I hesitated for a long time and haven't approached Ceylon yet. I feel that I'm a bit sorry for you and her by asking you first, but I have to know the truth of one thing."
Herman's eyes softened. He was a man and a father. He said softly: "Hei, my daughter, was that wish made by you?"
…
"Mr. Herman, this is the first time we have met, and I think it will be the last time. Are you curious about your own condition?"
When the woman with long wavy golden hair appeared in front of Herman, her first words captured his heart.
She had a single horn and her eyes were shining, as if she had discovered something interesting.
"Who are you?"
Herman suppressed his inner curiosity. He wanted to know where he was resurrected, but he was more concerned about whether he would harm his two daughters because of language traps.
"I have many names, but now I can only be called Hailiu. Let me call myself Hailiu."
"Hai Liu, Miss Hai Liu, what do you want to tell me?"
Men try to take the initiative.
"A wish, I know it sounds like a fairy tale. I was born...by the sea. I heard many legends from sailors, including the devil in the bottle, the wishing lamp, and the wishing machine. In short, these things can all be fulfilled. The desires of the human heart.”
Herman listened patiently to Hailiu's words and added: "Those who wish for anything will realize their dreams, but also pay a corresponding price?"
"Yes, you are very smart. Even the devil likes equal transactions. You will give what you get."
"Miss Hailiu, I have no wishes to realize. I am satisfied with life, and I have reached the age of retirement."
If this woman came to him to make a wish, Herman would just ask her to leave. He lived a happy life and had two daughters, so there was no need to make a wish at all.
Hailiu supported his chin with both hands: "No, I am not here to help others realize their wishes. There is no such business. What I want to say is something closely related to you. You are the result of the wish coming true, and the person who made the wish People are paying the price.”
"Be specific."
Hailiu put his hands on the edge of the table and leaned his upper body forward: "Mr. Herman, your daughter made a wish for you to come back, so you came back. I think you know the price of buying a life better than me."
Putting aside the truth of this sentence, Herman has two daughters. Which one is Hailiu talking about?
Every?
"Now let's ask your daughter. I have a piece of advice. Are you willing to listen?"
Herman nodded: "Please tell me."
"Making a wish is equivalent to a transaction. What you get and what you pay must be equal to complete the transaction. If you are not satisfied with the content of the transaction, just cancel the transaction. No existence can force you to buy or sell. This is the rule set by your gods. but……"
Hailiu raised his chin: "Back then, a bastard gave me a second choice and took away my other half. Now I will give you a second choice..."
…
Hei shook his head. The wish she made was not to resurrect the master, so this wish should be made by the young lady.
It's really embarrassing. The young lady wants the master to come back, but I just want to make the young lady live a happier life.
"I don't blame you, daughter, and I'm glad of the bond between you sisters."
Herman nodded with a smile and said, "Go ahead. I know you want to go to the front line. I'll just sit here for a while. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
"Master, you have to believe that we can solve the problem. Miss, she has grown up."
"I know, go ahead. Since I have reassured you, it proves that I will not do anything stupid. I will wait for you to come back at home."
Herman was a man of his word, and Hei knew it very well. She reluctantly got into the car and watched the figure in the rearview mirror getting further and further away.
