Chapter 427: Restoration and Growth
Anno rested her chin on her hand, looking at him with a half-smile: "As long as you don't come into contact with those gangsters and thugs, you can still live a normal life."
Zero Nine grunted in agreement and shook the gun at her.
Mingxiao put his hands behind his head and sighed, "Guns are still the most effective weapon. Whoever is stronger is right."
Sitar clung to the back of Zero Nine and leaned close to him, saying, "Give me the gun."
Lingjiu glanced at him. "You know how to play?"
Sitar: "Can't I give it to you just because I don't know how?"
Zero Nine pulled a gun from under the car seat, explained how to use it, and handed it to him. Sital took it, rolled down the window, and walked towards them. The people who wanted to stop the car and rob them fired a shot, which accurately knocked off the leader's large hat. The leader shuddered and made way for them.
Zero Nine, expressionless, complimented, "Not bad marksmanship."
Anno thought to himself that although Sitar's memories were still sealed, he had learned how to use weapons, personally taught by his father, Augsis. Moreover, Sitar had been watching how Zero Nine used his gun, and he had learned it just by watching.
Sitar was clearly interested in the gun in his hand and the thugs on the road. He could tell at a glance which ones were lying in wait for them and fired before they even got close.
Lingjiu simply opened the sunroof for him, and he climbed onto the roof of the car himself, firing a shot every now and then. Anno watched him sitting cross-legged on the roof with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Some people who were hiding on the roof and hadn't come forward yet were intimidated by his shooting.
His alertness caught the attention of a patrolling security team, who followed him for a while, only to be indiscriminately fired a warning shot at him by Sitar.
We arrived at the central tower without any major incidents.
As soon as Anno got out of the car, Sitar jumped down from the roof, raised his gun, and said to Zero-Nine, "Out of bullets."
Lingjiu glanced at it and said, "It's out of energy."
As he spoke, he took out the round energy stone from the energy pistol and replaced it with a new one.
Anno looked at the massive central tower in front of him.
Before, when they looked at the central tower from afar, they thought it was very tall. Now that they were up close, the central tower seemed even more enormous, almost towering into the clouds, and visually almost connected to the Heavenly City above.
Her gaze swept around the central tower, which was surrounded by a very wide plaza filled with various vehicles, all of which appeared to be people who had come to register and wanted to go to the City of Heaven.
Anno noticed that these people were all well-equipped, wearing tight-fitting clothes or combat suits, and carrying various weapons such as knives and guns.
Zero Nine opened the trunk and began equipping himself with weapons.
When Anno walked up to him, he saw that his trunk was practically a small armory.
Her gaze swept over the weapons, wanting to choose one that would suit her as well.
When she reached for a gun, Zero Nine grabbed her hand and pinned it down.
Anno said, "I can fight too."
Lingjiu handed her another gun: "That one is too heavy, this one is more suitable for you."
After saying that, he took out two folding energy swords from another box, squatted down in front of Anno, tied the tactical belt to Anno, and fastened the folding swords and gun for her.
After equipping her, Lingjiu patted her head with slightly stiff movements: "I believe you can fight, you don't need to rely on anyone."
He paused for a moment, his eyes, gleaming with a deep blue light, looking into Anno's pale blue eyes, and said, "No matter who you are, you are yourself first."
Anuo's eyes trembled slightly, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her. She smiled slightly and nodded to Ling Jiu: "Mm!"
"Where's my weapon? I can use a knife too."
Sitar appeared beside them at some point, while Mingxiao was already rummaging through Zero Nine's armory looking for a suitable weapon.
Zero Nine took out several different styles of knives and let Sitar choose one.
Sitar also chose two folding longswords. He was only about five or six years old, and although he looked like a normal human about ten years old, the swords were still too long and they were a bit of a hindrance for him when he was walking.
Anno placed her hand on her head to compare her height and couldn't help but feel a little troubled. It was fine to shrink, but it shouldn't be this small. At least let her be a little taller. At her current height, it was even a bit inconvenient to wield a weapon.
Fei Xing said in his mind, "Little darling, if you want to grow a little bigger, I can release some energy for you and Sitar."
Anuo's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and she hurriedly urged Feixing to release her core energy. They would have to fight their way up on their own strength later, and as they grew older, they would become stronger.
The core of the flying star lit up in Anno's chest, and energy surged from its core into Anno's body. Anno grabbed Sitar's hand and transferred the energy to him.
Lingjiu and Mingxiao watched as the two bodies grew at a visible speed. Lingjiu reacted and quickly untied the tactical belt tied around her body, otherwise it would tighten around her tightly later.
Anno and Sitar's bodies remained at around ten years old, but Sitar was already more than a head taller than Anno.
