Gao Yu stood in the corridor outside the door and exhaled a few deep breaths.
He sorted out his clothes, put on a new backpack, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Dongdong——”
"Who is it? It's here."
A man's voice came from inside the door, and soon the door opened.
Standing in the room was a middle-aged Mediterranean man. He put out the cigarette in his hand and smiled awkwardly.
"Xiao Yu... why did you get out of school so early today? I just smoked one. Really, it was a good chance for you to see me."
The man tried to make excuses awkwardly, but when he realized he couldn't keep up his lie, he threw the cigarette butt out of the house.
Gao Yu looked at him with a smile and walked straight in.
"Smoke less, Dad."
"I don't usually smoke, but it's your mother..."
"What about me? What happened again? What did I do to make you so upset that you could only smoke, huh?"
There was a roar from the kitchen. The man shrank his head, pointed at the kitchen and whispered to Gao Yu:
"Look, I was just scared."
Although the man's reactions were very real and his speech was very fluent, if you looked closely, you could still see that his limbs were somewhat uncoordinated, as if he had a joint disease and all his movements were a little slow and awkward.
"You, my mother just took such good care of you."
Gao Yu threw his schoolbag on the sofa and shouted towards the kitchen:
"Mom, what are we having for dinner today?"
"You're already full of anger, why are you still eating? Keep down the noise, Xiaolin is resting in the room, don't wake her up."
Gao Yu really wanted to say "Who has a louder voice than you?", but after thinking about it, he gave up. He looked at his father innocently and went back to the house with a pout.
The bedroom is not big, but it is very cozy and doesn't look like a boy's room.
A pretty girl was lying on the bed in the bedroom, breathing evenly and taking a nap.
Gao Yu didn't wake her up, but carefully moved out a stool, then took out a...
Scalpel.
He lifted up his shirt, looked at his chest, and then pulled it up, cutting his skin open.
Blood spurted out, staining the table red.
Just as he was about to make the wound deeper, a strong little hand grabbed the knife handle.
"woke up?"
"Well, let me do it."
The girl's hand holding the knife did not shake at all, as if she had done this action thousands of times. She carefully cut open the skin on Gao Yu's chest and dissected along the muscle texture. After a while, she touched the metal heart casing hidden under the flesh.
She carefully removed a button-sized object from next to the heart and began to sew it up.
Gao Yu gritted his teeth and endured the worst pain, holding the metal button in his hand, thinking.
"Whose story is it this time?"
"This time it's not a story, it's a prophecy."
"?" The little girl was stunned and asked with a smile, "What prophecy?"
"hiss--"
"Sorry, I was careless. Let me take a look. Fortunately, I just got stabbed off-center. It's not a big deal. Maybe the spatial locator on my left hand is broken again..."
"...It's okay, I'll just make another one."
"Well, thank you. Aunt Qin's left leg extension unit is also broken. And Uncle Gao, his simulated lung... Xiaoyu, I really need to persuade him to smoke less."
"Oh, let him be. I just like this one in my life. I'll go to the trial to find materials to make a new one."
"Okay...it's sewn, now we can listen to the story, oh no, can we listen to the prophecy?"
"Yeah, okay."
Gao Yu first took down a small box from the wall, then put the button into the box, and then the sounds in the room became lively.
“This is not a joke, Zhao…Oh yes, Zhao Qian.
It seems that you don't believe me. Well, in that case, I'll give you a reason to die."
"Don't be angry. Perhaps after knowing this, you will not only be willing to die, but will also be deeply grateful to me...
Do you know how I know the name of your Firebringer?
At the first audience, a tamer shared his story of rejecting the Firebringer in order to win His favor...
Then, the poor animal trainer was killed by Cheng Shi.
Don't be surprised, you heard it right, it was Cheng Shi, the Cheng Shi who died in front of you.
I know he is not dead. I don't want to kill him, and I can't kill him.
At that time, he was only the tenth person on the ladder to an audience with the emperor, but he was so decisive when he took action, as if... he was also a fire bearer.
You're curious about his identity, aren't you?
Unfortunately, he is not.
He told us that the Firebringer is unknown to the gods because He is helping to conceal it. Hahaha, Zhao Qian, I like your expression now.
This is not a lie, although Cheng Shi and I are indeed His believers...
I was also shocked at the time, but from then on, everyone present told themselves to forget everything they heard.
Because exposing you would displease Him.
He has taken a fancy to you. No, perhaps it should be said that He has taken a fancy to a performance that is about to begin. However, in order for this grand performance to proceed normally, His believers have no choice but to conceal it.
It was not until much later that we found out... Well, forget it, this period of history is not glorious.
So... what I'm trying to say is:
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
