Flames, filled the horizon.

The foul air mixes with scorching soot and erodes the throat and lungs.

The brain is about to explode, and the heart is beating to the extreme, but in the midst of the fire, a young figure is still struggling! Driven by the desire to survive, the little boy desperately shook the remnant wall in front of him. It's a pity that his strength is too weak, and he has injuries on his body, so he can't move this concrete block at all and carve out a way for himself.

Gradually, his movements were no longer powerful and on the verge of limiting......

As the temperature gradually increased, the fire grew more and more intense, and the boy could even smell his own burnt hair.

Am I going to die?

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a drop of water hit his face.

Wish? No, it's just a prelude to despair.

The icy stimulus made the boy raise his head and look through the gap in the ruins at the dark sky overhead.

At some point, a light rain began to fall above.

But for this fire, this amount of water is completely ineffective.

Even, the wind fuels the fire, and in the breeze that comes with the rain, the flame burns even higher!

This discovery made the little boy's expression freeze, and his slightly open lips were reunited.

He no longer struggled, and lay on the ground weakly, like a dead man if it weren't for the heaving of his chest.

He wanted to live.

There is no doubt about that!

No one wants to die.

However, the little boy had no choice......

The wall of fire began to close here, and if nothing else, it wouldn't be long before he burned out.

But now, he doesn't even have the strength to stand up.

Who's going to ......

Help me!

The words that roared in my heart could not be turned into reality.

Under the erosion of the smoke, the little boy could not even shout......

Perhaps, a god heard his prayers?

Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

At this moment, a miracle that should not have appeared in this world appeared!

Shooting stars?

The little boy's blurred eyes could see a little light passing through the sky.

Wrong! It's not just a swipe.

This thing that seems to be a meteor, he simply fell straight down towards where he was.

As it drew closer, the little boy was surprised to find something wrapped in the intense but undazzling light.

When he wiped his eyes with his soft right hand, he finally saw clearly.

It was a drop of blood, a bright red blood!

It was obviously just a drop of blood, but the first time the little boy saw it, a few words suddenly popped up in his heart.

- The remains of a saint.

These words seem to represent the blood itself.

Just seeing what it looked like, the little boy was sure that it would save him.

This inexplicable sense of trust, even he can't say why.

However, he believed deeply and without doubt, and never doubted.

"Help me!"

Dry lips, hoarse vocal cords, choking lungs......

The little boy took his last breath and did his best to shout these three words.

"Okay."

A simple word made him burst into tears and couldn't stop flowing......

"Then, as a price, you will fulfill your duties as a substitute and obtain the third law for me!"

The little boy didn't understand what the words in his heart meant.

However, this does not prevent him from making his own choice......

In fact, he didn't have a choice.

"I do."

As he said this, the little boy watched in surprise as the drop of blood melted into the streamer and rushed towards him.

There was no pain, no superfluous sensation, and when it was all over, a golden light was already imprinted on his left chest.

From this moment on, the flames that had been enough to kill people had become like a breeze to the little boy, and they could no longer cause the slightest damage. Even his own injuries caused by the collapse of the building and the burning of the flames began to close and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye......

These changes were not noticed by the little boy.

Because, after he fused this drop of blood, his spirit had reached the limit, and he couldn't help but faint......

————————————— Dividing Line—————————————

In the midst of the ruins, a middle-aged man in a suit, with his hair disheveled and a haggard face, was shuffling forward.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something.

The middle-aged man's body stiffened, and he slowly turned in one direction.

It was a vacant lot, and it was a miracle that there was still vacant land left in the midst of this disaster!

And even more miraculously is that in the center of the clearing, a little boy in tattered clothes is lying quietly.

The middle-aged man's eyesight is very good, even if there is smoke and dust around him, he can clearly see that the little boy's chest is rising and falling rhythmically.

This is not a corpse.

Still alive......

He's alive.

He's not dead yet!

This discovery made the middle-aged man stunned for a while.

Immediately after, he hurriedly rushed over and held the little boy in his arms.

Feeling the beating of the other party's heart, this temperature from life suppressed the sense of despair in the middle-aged man's heart.

Tears welled up in his eyes and dripped down the little boy's face.

Yes! I can't stop these tears.

Even the smile on his face became complicated because of this.

Sure enough, there was no choice to give up, and it was correct......

Got it! I found it!

Even if it's just one person, I'm going to save him.

The middle-aged man knew very well that this discovery not only saved the other party, but also redeemed himself.

The hole in my heart that has been torn apart by the lack of precious things has been more or less filled.

This is undoubtedly drinking to quench his thirst, but the middle-aged man is willing to eat it.

He was grateful, grateful to the sky, and slowly picked up the little boy.

The middle-aged man who found the survivor intends to leave the place and go to a safe place to treat him.

At this moment, the middle-aged man felt something.

He looked down, and by some point, the little boy had opened his eyes.

The middle-aged man saw that his face was reflected in the other party's gray eyes......

How shady.

How ugly.

Faced with his own appearance as if it had deteriorated, the middle-aged man thought.

It's splendid.

It's dazzling.

In his arms, the little boy opened his mouth, but could not say anything.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's expression full of gratitude and redemption was deeply imprinted into his heart.

It's like a painting, frozen in this scene forever.

I'm saved......

The little boy thought to himself.

For the first time, he no longer panicked, but with a sense of relief, he fell asleep in the arms of a middle-aged man again.
