Chapter 313: Answer to Prayer
Chapter 313 Answers to Prayers (make up for the missing chapter)
No. 26, Garden Street.
Fifteen minutes after the meteorite fell and Amber disappeared.
Wu Chang and Irene searched the entire area but couldn’t find Amber.
Not to mention Amber, Wu Chang controlled the water flow to cool down the meteorite, and took out the deep pit, and found that there was only a dirt pit under the meteorite, and there was no remains of the house at all.
In other words, the entire No. 26 Garden Street, the house, the lawn, and even Amber, all disappeared.
This discovery actually made Wu Chang and Irene feel relieved.
If the house was not smashed by the meteorite, it would not directly stimulate Amber. Even if Amber’s body was a house, she should be fine.
After confirming the current situation, questions arise.
Where would they find Amber?
The first thing Wu Chang thought of was the Sigoff City Orphanage. He remembered that Teacher Mavilla said that in addition to anxiety, Amber was also afraid of returning to the starting point.
Regardless of whether Amber’s few days of volunteering can improve her fear of the orphanage, she should be there.
But before going to the orphanage, he first went to Knox Elementary School to confirm the situation of the school.
When Amber had an anxiety attack, the place where the mark of doom visited was not only their home but also Knox Elementary School. These two places obviously had extraordinary significance to Amber.
In order to avoid being discovered by Lin Jiang and others about the abnormality of Knox Elementary School, Wu Chang drove to school with a social phobia.
Knox Elementary School was very quiet late at night and there was nothing unusual, but Wu Chang met someone here.
Teacher Mavila.
She drove here in a hurry, as if she had something urgent to do. She parked her car at the door, trotted into the teaching building, and after a few minutes, she walked out with a serious face.
Is it a coincidence that she appears here?
When Mavila came out of the teaching building, Wu Chang got rid of his social phobia and pretended to be anxious and hurried into the school.
Ma Wei La was stunned for a moment when she saw him, and then took the initiative to greet him:
“Mr. Sean, why are you here so late at school?”
Wu Chang gave a forced smile and said, “Nothing, I just couldn’t find something. I thought it might be at school, so I came back to check.”
Mavilla asked, “Do you need my help?”
Wu Chang shook his head. “No, I can do it myself.”
Ma Wei La said: “I also left something in the teaching building. I just went to the office and it was very clean. The things you lost should not be in the school.”
“Sometimes, things are not really lost when they are lost. They just return to where they were supposed to be, and we don’t notice it.”
Wu Chang showed a look of realization and said, “Okay, I’ll look for it somewhere else.”
“Wait a moment.” Mavila called Wu Chang.
Wu Chang: “Anything else?”
Mavila took off the silver leaf amulet from her neck, handed it to Wu Chang, and said:
“It’s my lucky charm. It can help you find lost things. I’ll lend it to you first. Please return it to me tomorrow when you go to work.”
Wu Chang took the amulet and his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.
The omniscient crystal in the portable space moved. This amulet, like Grace’s cross, was the door to the Taichu Lingshu Group.
He took the amulet and said, “I will definitely use it well.”
“Also.” Mavila said meaningfully, “I remember that our art teacher Yuye said that in her country there is a saying that everything has a spirit.”
“A lost object, like a lost child, will be scared when it is alone. If it is found, it may need a hug.”
Wu Chang was stunned for a moment and responded, “Thank you.”
He put on the amulet and hurried to the Sigoff City Orphanage by car.
It was no coincidence that Mavilla returned to Knox Elementary School late at night. She was either looking for Amber or waiting for him.
He was sure that Mavilla must have known that he was looking for Amber. The advice she gave and the items she lent him, including the hug she mentioned at the end, all pointed to Amber.
Now it seems that the reason why Mavilla was able to accurately describe Amber’s existential anxiety was not because she was professional enough as a teacher, but because she knew Amber well enough.
Wu Chang looked at the silver leaf pendant in his hand, which was another item related to Taichu Lingshu.
What is the identity of Teacher Mavilla, and what role does she play in the Doomed dungeon and in Amber’s life?
He took a deep breath, hung the pendant around his neck, and stopped thinking about Mavilla for the time being.
No matter what her identity is, at least for now, she seems to be kind to him and Amber. As for her true identity, it won’t be too late to find out after he finds Amber.
Wu Chang drove very fast and when he arrived at the orphanage, it was just nine o’clock. The staff were letting the children return to their rooms to finish their daily prayers and go to bed.
During the few days that Amber was a volunteer, Wu Chang was waiting for Amber in the orphanage. During that time, he talked a lot with Director Susan, and the two became familiar with each other.
Seeing him rushing in, Susan took him to the dean’s office and asked him what happened.
Wu Chang didn’t say too much, just said that Amber said she left home for something, and he couldn’t find Amber for the time being, so he wanted to see if she was at the orphanage.
Susan poured him a glass of water and said, “Don’t worry. Although Amber is a troublesome child, she is very sensible and will not do anything to trouble you.”
“She likes to take walks when she’s confused. Maybe she just walked a little far. If you go home now, she might already be in her room.”
After entering the orphanage, Wu Chang felt that the pendant that Mavila lent him was faintly warm, as if guiding him somewhere.
But in the Doomed copy, most of the plane’s natives are ordinary people. He didn’t want Susan to find out something unusual and cause trouble for Amber in the future, so he didn’t leave in a hurry and pretended to be comforted.
When he was about to use the excuse of going to the bathroom and start his social phobia to look for abnormalities, Susan suddenly said;
“You know, before the end of the volunteer work today, Amber came to me and told me that she wanted to change, wanted to try to accept herself, and also said that she wanted to get my forgiveness.”
Wu Chang stopped halfway through standing up and sat back down.
Susan continued, “I was very surprised at the time, because in my impression, Amber was always afraid to face herself, and she was afraid to face me. It’s embarrassing to say it, but my mind was a little confused at the time, and my words were incoherent, and I didn’t express my thoughts very well.”
“If you go back and see Amber, please tell her for me that it’s not me who needs to forgive her, but herself.”
“besides……”
Susan opened the drawer and took out a golden five-pointed star.
“This five-pointed star was a gift my sister had prepared for Amber. But something unexpected happened to her at that time, so she didn’t have time to give it to Amber, so I have kept it ever since.”
“At first I thought that all the disasters were caused by Amber, and I felt resentment towards her. Later, when I became the director of the orphanage and my mentality became more stable, I realized that I was just taking my anger out on her for no reason.”
“I have confessed, but I have never been able to muster up the courage to apologize to Amber, nor do I think I am qualified to hand over this Heart of Bethlehem to her on my sister’s behalf.”
“For a long time, Amber and I didn’t dare to face each other. Until today, she took the lead in choosing to face the past, and I could only be shocked at her growth and feel ashamed of my own naivety.”
Dean Susan took a deep breath, held the Star of Bethlehem in both hands and handed it to Wu Chang.
“Amber’s changes all happened after she was adopted by you. Mr. Sean, only you are qualified to guide Amber’s path and bring him hope and courage like my sister.”
Wu Chang took the Star of Bethlehem and said solemnly, “I will.”
Just then, the door of the dean’s office was pushed open, and Yu Siyi rushed in, dragging Wu Chang to find Amber.
Wu Chang was very curious about how Yu Siyi met Amber, but now was not the time to chat, so he followed Yu Siyi all the way to the church of the orphanage.
Yu Siyi could see that this time the orange line in the real world appeared at the door of the church.
After bringing Wu Chang here, she was suddenly stuck. She had found the place, but she didn’t have the ability to bring Wu Chang in.
Sweat began to form on her forehead, and she glanced at Wu Chang, thinking that since the natives of this copy could lend her so much power through the orange line, she should have a way.
Wu Chang did have one. When he stood at the door of the church, the silver leaf pendant on his chest became extremely hot.
He looked at Yu Siyi, thought for a moment, took out a piece of paper behind Yu Siyi’s back, and used mystical control to print a complex mystical magic circle on it. In the center of the magic circle was the chaos rune condensed by his chaos power.
Paper itself has no special abilities. Its only ability is to prove that it was drawn on it.
He handed the paper to Yu Siyi and said, “There is a man named Heping who owes me a favor. He left it as a token of his love. I am now transferring this favor to you. If you need him in the future, go find him.”
Yu Siyi had killed many people in Wanghai City. Just like Amber said, she was not a good person, but like he and Amber said, he didn’t care. Whether Yu Siyi was good or bad, she helped him, so he owed her a favor.
Yu Siyi took the formation blueprint and opened her mouth slightly. It was worthy of the existence that could help her kill the monsters in the dungeon across the orange line. The Heping that was highly valued by the four major organizations and was considered to be a cheat owed him a favor in the dungeon.
With the peace-loving people around, there will be helpers when we use the love ropes to bind Lu Langfeng in the future.
Wu Chang handed the paper to Yu Siyi, then turned and walked into the church. As he felt a burning sensation in his chest, his eyes blurred and he came to a church that was different from the current one, brightly lit and full of Christmas atmosphere.
Wu Chang recognized this place. This was the scene when Dean Amanda was praying with Amber, full of resentment.
But now, Dean Amanda is not in the church, only Amber is alone.
The Amber at this moment, the Amber he knew, was much younger, only about six or seven years old.
Young Amber stood in front of the marble statue, clasped his hands, and whispered:
“Praise the gods, Lord God, can you tell me why no matter how hard I try, I always end up back where I started, back here.”
“Is it true that for a child like me, the existence is a mistake? I can only hurt others and myself, and I will never be redeemed.”
The statue did not answer Amber, just as it had done that day. Instead, it swayed slightly and fell forward.
A loving smile, accompanied by a forward lean like a mockery.
Looking up at the collapsed statue, Amber’s face did not show disappointment, but instead had an expression that said, “I knew the answer would be this.”
Just as she was answering the statue calmly, a figure jumped out from beside her and kicked the statue away.
The one who kicked the statue away landed on the altar and took the statue’s place. He squatted down, touched Amber’s head, and said:
“Your existence itself is meaningful, and you will definitely be redeemed. Even Yego can’t stop you. I say that!”
Amber looked at Wu Chang who appeared in front of her, and the fear in her eyes disappeared, turning into confusion mixed with doubt.
She seemed to know the man in front of her, but she seemed to have forgotten.
Wu Chang jumped down from the altar and said, “Do you remember our agreement? You just need to focus on being yourself and leave the rest to me.”
After hearing Wu Chang’s words, the confusion in Amber’s eyes faded away, and she thought of the man in front of her.
Even if she went back to the day she least wanted to remember, facing the statue falling on her again, she could still remain fearless, but now, her nose felt a little sour.
“Sean, you’re late again.”
Wu Chang shrugged, “Sorry, it took me a while to get in, but luckily I made it in time.”
After that, he opened his arms, gave Amber a hug, and said like Dean Amanda:
“It’s over, and everything will be fine.”
“And welcome home.”
As Amber regained her memory, the entire orphanage shook violently and the interior began to collapse.
Wu Chang noticed that the statue that was kicked into the corner had disappeared.
Amber turned pale and said, “What happened?”
Wu Chang said: “Maybe the person who was kicked away doesn’t agree with you leaving.”
It seems that Amber’s past is not ready to let her go easily.
Amber pulled Wu Chang and was about to leave, “It’s dangerous here, let’s leave first.”
“and many more.”
Wu Chang grabbed Amber and pulled her back to him, then took out the Star of Bethlehem that Susan had given him from his pocket.
Amber widened her eyes and looked at the Star of Bethlehem in Wu Chang’s hand, as if she understood what it was.
“This is……”
Wu Chang smiled and said, “This is what Dean Amanda and Dean Susan asked me to give to you. If you are confused again and doubt your existence, it will give you courage and guide you forward.”
With the guidance of the Star of Bethlehem, Amber and Wu Chang moved smoothly in the orphanage. They were not blocked by the collapsed buildings and made their way to the outside of the orphanage.
It was then that Wu Chang noticed the abnormality of this world. The surroundings looked the same as that of Siegf City, but there were tiny cracks everywhere, as if it could collapse at any time.
Well, not anytime soon, something has already started to collapse.
The collapsed orphanage was like a sleeping monster that was slowly waking up and trying to pull its body out of the ground.
In Amber’s past memories, the orphanage was the origin of her life.
When Dean Amanda was still alive, this was her last harbor. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she could find shelter here.
But when Sister Amanda died, this place became a monster that devoured everything she had, binding her here, and no matter how hard she tried to start a new life, she would eventually return here.
Its existence seemed to be telling Amber that every time she left, it had no meaning other than bringing harm to others.
So if you want to leave here, it seems you must defeat Amber’s origin, the Sigoff City Orphanage.
Wu Chang looked at the orphanage and sighed helplessly. This was a four-story building. Killing such a big monster would be much more troublesome than the previous three times.
Amber tugged at Wu Chang’s sleeve, a look of nervousness on her face.
Wu Chang smiled at Amber and said, “Don’t worry, we will win.”
If he says he will win, he will definitely win.
Who is he?
Abyss game player, Knox Elementary School physical education teacher, Amber’s adoptive father?
No, neither. His current identity is the mayor of Sigoff City.
It’s just an orphanage, yet you dare to challenge him? You want to demolish it, right?
It is too late to start demolition from the outside now, so he, the mayor, has to do it himself.
To kill such a big monster, heavy firepower must be used.
He put his thoughts into his personal space and selected suitable props.
It’s you, Dawn Hammer!
After He Yun upgraded the Dawn Hammer for him, there was a function that he was very curious about, but the cost was too high, so he never had the chance to try it. Finally, he had a target to experiment with.
“High-energy beam: a product of the fusion of mysticism and science. It increases damage to non-human targets by 50%. It automatically generates a high-energy beam every three hours. It can also consume five points of energy to immediately recharge a high-energy beam. The current number of high-energy beams: 12/12.”
“Destruction Mode: All high-energy beams in the cylinder are combined into one, erupting to cause devastating damage to the target. After use, the Dawn Hammer will be temporarily damaged and must be professionally repaired by the maker before it can be used again. Repair time: one plane; skill cooldown time: two planes.”
The 50% damage increase of the high-energy beam, coupled with the destruction mode, a blow of this weight can be called a heavy hammer!
As Wu Chang activated the destruction mode, the twelve energy capsules in the magazine that stored high-energy beams lit up one by one. The muzzle of the Dawn Hammer spread out, and the slender barrel was reconstructed into a rocket-launch-like barrel.
As the twelve high-energy light beams merged into one, energy emanated from the gun body that was enough to make Wu Chang feel palpitations. If he was hit by such a shot, even if he had a Titan, he would probably suffer limb amputation.
The Dawn Hammer locks onto its target and automatically adjusts its firing mode based on built-in AI analysis, forming a basketball-sized ball of energy at the muzzle.
zizi.
The powerful energy condensed, making a hair-raising electric sound in the air. Compared with the energy condensed by the Dawn Hammer at this moment, the railgun he had used before was at best a super-electromagnetic beam.
He looked down at Amber and said, “Look, fireworks.”
The next moment, a column of energy gushed out, and its thickness continued to increase. At first it was the size of a basketball. When the energy column arrived in front of the orphanage, the light column had already enveloped the entire orphanage.
As the light flashed, when Wu Chang and Amber’s vision recovered from the strong light, there was no orphanage in front of them, only a round semicircular pit.
Even though Wu Chang was prepared, the effect of the destruction mode still exceeded his expectations.
However, as a price to pay, the front half of the Dawn Hammer in his hand had completely melted, leaving only the back half and the magazine.
In other words, if He Yun couldn’t repair it, this shot would be equivalent to exchanging it for a B-level custom equipment.
Calculated this way, the effect is not too exaggerated.
You know, B-level customized equipment is stronger than ordinary A-level equipment. If He Yun was not there, he would rather use his real body to transform into a small sea giant and tear it apart with his physical body punch by punch than use it like this.
A space crack appeared at the location where the orphanage originally existed. Following the crack, you can see the orphanage in the real Siegf city.
Wu Chang took Amber’s hand and said, “Let’s go, Irene is still waiting for us to go home.”
