Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Lucky Dog
Olga looked past the robber.
…Just now, she seemed to see a familiar shadow flash by? But when she blinked again, there was nothing there.
Olga was stunned for a moment, then quickly averted her gaze. She decided to change her strategy. After all, she didn't want to be beaten and sent to the ICU. Even though she was harder to kill than the average person, she wasn't incapable of pain.
"Listen, I—"
Before Olga could finish her words, the robber had already raised his hand holding the wooden basket high, and then hit Olga's head with the wooden basket.
Olga could have easily dodged an attack of this magnitude, but she was certain that such an action would only further anger the robber, who would then fire his weapon. At such a close distance, Olga didn't think she could dodge a bullet with her bare hands.
Even at this point, Olga still couldn't feel anything that could be called "fear." She blinked and watched Mu Cangto approach her.
Time seemed to slow down infinitely, and everything in Olga's eyes was crystal clear. She began to wonder, if she pretended to faint after being hit, would the robber give her a few more pieces of wood? Or would he run away immediately?
Suddenly, Olga's expression froze and her pupils continued to dilate.
Then, the robber saw a smile slowly appear on her face, an extremely happy expression.
How could someone laugh when they were about to be beaten? Even the robber, who was too excited to think carefully, found the kid in front of him a little creepy.
But it doesn’t matter! The robber thought, soon this little brat will stop laughing!
Mu Cangto was almost about to hit Olga's head.
At this moment, she suddenly closed her eyes as if extremely frightened, squatted on the ground with her hands covering her head, and shouted in that shrill voice that only a child could, "Help! Lingling!"
The robbers had no idea what Olga was up to, and didn't even have time to think about why her movements and reactions were so fast.
The attack failed, and the robber was about to fire the wooden silo at Olga in anger, but suddenly a hand reached out from behind and grabbed his wrist firmly.
The hand grabbed his wrist with irresistible force and lifted it up to the sky.
"Boom——"
After a wooden warehouse sound, a thin wisp of green smoke emerged from the wooden warehouse pipe facing the sky.
"F***! Who is it?!"
The robber finally reacted, struggling to turn around and try to open the wooden box. Unfortunately, the person behind him did not give him the slightest chance. He did not even know how the person took the wooden box from his hands, and he was kneeled on the ground with his arms pressed.
"F***! You ***! Let me go! You ***!"
The robber twisted his neck hard to raise his head, he didn't even see the face of the guy who "attacked" him!
Unfortunately, from the robber's perspective, he was destined not to see who subdued him. He just barely saw the little girl, whose face was filled with fear just a second ago, stand up and slowly walk towards him.
She had that same amused smile on her face that he had seen briefly not long ago.
The robber just watched the red-haired girl walk up to him and bend down.
No matter how hard the robber struggled, it was of no use. The hand holding him was like an irresistible iron clamp. He finally began to feel scared and tried to beg for mercy incoherently.
As if desperate, he shouted to the red-haired girl he could see, "I'm sorry, I was wrong! Let me go! I won't dare to do it again! I was wrong! I used drugs! I was not sober! I was wrong! Let me go—"
A bad premonition suddenly came to his mind. The robber watched the little girl's smile deepen a little. Her angelic face now looked like the devil to the robber.
She didn't say anything, but just stepped hard on his head with her expensive-looking boots, making his face fall completely into the muddy puddle on the ground.
Caught off guard, the robber was choked and his mouth and nose were filled with the fishy smell of mud.
The force on the back of his head didn't subside, but instead intensified. The robber tried to struggle, but his body couldn't move—he couldn't defeat the child by relying solely on the force of his neck.
She was going to suffocate me!
The robber didn't know why he would use such thoughts to speculate about a harmless-looking girl who was no more than ten years old, but the facts were developing in this direction.
After several minutes, the robber's struggles gradually weakened. His lungs ached so much that they felt like they were about to burst, and muddy rainwater mixed with the smell of mud and dirt continued to pour into his nostrils.
Am I going to die here...
At this moment, the robber vaguely heard a voice coming from behind him, very soft but impossible to ignore.
This probably belonged to the man who had restrained him. The robber's mind had begun to unravel, just like his pupils were gradually dilating.
"Olia, that's enough."
He heard the man say this.
Olya...? Was he calling that little girl...
Before losing consciousness, the robber vaguely heard the little girl say something again, but at this time his brain could no longer allow him to decipher any word.
*
"Olia, that's enough."
After hearing Amuro Toru's voice, Olga tried hard to suppress the excitement that kept surging in her brain and took a step back reluctantly.
The robber finally couldn't struggle anymore.
Amuro Toru loosened his grip on the robber and turned him over. He checked the robber's pulse—he was still alive.
It was within his expectations.
Amuro Toru stood up, took out his cell phone and called the police. The robber was indeed still alive, but if he was left unconscious here, it was hard to say whether he would still be alive in the future.

After sending Olga to school today, Amuro Toru received a mission from the organization. This was not an easy mission, so he sent Olga a text message in the afternoon, apologizing that he might not be able to pick her up from school today.
Olga is very independent and doesn't need anyone to worry about her when she goes to and from school. But Amuro Toru feels that he may have been too involved in the role of "parent". Whenever he has time, he will definitely pick up Olga himself.
So, after completing the task, Amuro Toru sent a text message to Olga and hurriedly drove to school. On the way, he happened to run into the scene of Olga being robbed.
Toru Amuro was angry, so after subduing the robber, he did not stop Olga's actions at first, but let her vent her anger.
But then his mind quickly calmed down.
Toru Amuro doesn't want Olga to be responsible for a life, even one that belongs to such scum of society.
So, he began to calculate the longest time this scum could endure, and stopped Olga before he was finally about to meet God.
*
Perhaps out of anger, or perhaps for some other reason, Toru Amuro seemed to have overlooked the fact that this kind of lynching should not happen to a normal child.
Toru Amuro didn't realize this, but Olga looked at his drooping eyes and couldn't guess what he was thinking for a moment.
So, Olga took the initiative. Her mouth pursed, and she threw herself into Amuro Toru's arms, hugged his waist, buried her head in his abdomen and began to cry, like a child who had truly suffered a great injustice.
Amuro Toru did not move, neither comforting Olga nor scolding her. Olga even felt that he was a little stiff.
So Olga started to increase her strength without thinking. She was sure that her crocodile tears would definitely wet Amuro Toru's clothes.
Olga didn't know if her performance was effective, but Amuro Toru suddenly squatted down and hugged her. The force was not strong, but it seemed very strong.
"Feel sorry."
She heard him say this.
Apologize?
Olga blinked.
But why?
Olga couldn't see Amuro Toru's expression, she just heard Amuro Toru continue:
"I promise you, this will never happen again."
Did Toru Amuro think it was his fault that she encountered the robbers? Olga seemed to suddenly understand Toru Amuro's thinking.
But why? There's no logical connection between the two events. It wasn't Toru Amuro who caused the robbers to appear.
Olga still couldn't understand.
In the sudden increase in the rain, Amuro Toru's body temperature was transmitted through the thin sweatshirt.
Olga just felt... the coldness seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
Olga suddenly felt the urge to push the envelope, so she did just that.
"Lingling, the professors gave us a lot of homework today. I can't finish it by myself." Her voice was very soft, as if she was being naughty and coquettish.
Amuro Toru laughed dumbly, and Olga could feel the vibration coming from his chest.
"Well, let's do it together." His voice was soft and gentle.
"Yeah!"
"But the main content still needs to be completed by Olya herself~"
"ah--"
*
It was already 6:30 in the evening when Toru Amuro drove Olga back to their current residence. They were stuck in traffic on the highway for a long time.
It's a two-story, single-family house in the suburbs. The neighborhood is so safe that you can leave your door unlocked at night, and there aren't many homeless people around. The only downside is that it's a bit far from school.
In fact, there is a school nearby, but the organization still arranged for Olga to transfer to an older private high school in the city center.
As soon as they got home, Amuro Toru urged Olga to take a hot bath. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she smelled the aroma of food - Amuro Toru had already prepared dinner.
