When Paradise Bird was confused, she uncontrollably remembered her past.

Father. Mother. There are others.

The people she loves, the people she saves.

The people she couldn't save, the people who died in front of her.

The Paradise Bird remembers everyone's name, everyone's face before they died, and the last words they spoke......

She also remembers the smiles they put at her when she healed everyone.

"I ...... Are you going to die? ”

Paradise Bird has heard that there will be such a life before people die.

She was saddened, but not regretful.

In this short 14 years of life, she has saved many people and sent many people away.

There are good people and bad people among them. There are innocents, and there are murderers.

Regardless of the past or privacy, all patients are redeemed equally...... This is the mission of the Healer.

If she had to do it all over again, she would probably still be on this path.

After all, she respects her father so much...... But if it were possible, she hoped that she would never have the power to "take revenge" for the rest of her life.

She didn't want hatred and pain to be entangled between people more than to be powerful.

A world that is happy enough does not need "heroes", and a world where everyone lives a long and healthy life no longer needs "doctors".

But rather than lose the value of its own existence, the Paradise Bird would rather the world be so healthy that it no longer needs a doctor.

…… It's just that just as a "healer", she is still too powerless.

She couldn't do anything.

She can heal their flesh, but she can't heal their hearts...... A depraved heart, an arrogant heart, a selfish heart, a twisted heart.

- Perhaps it is the world itself that really needs to be healed.

Such a thought came to the mind of the Paradise Bird.

"Daddy......"

Paradise Bird whimpered and trembled, its vision obscured by tears: "I've tried my best, but I still haven't done anything......

"I'm so tired......"

"Hua Yu, you've done a good job."

An incomparably familiar voice rang out from in front of the Paradise Bird.

Then, an inexplicable feeling of warmth spread throughout the body.

After losing blood to the point of nearing shock, his body gradually became full of strength.

The sharp pain in the whole body gradually dissipated, and the whole person felt as comfortable and sleepy as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

The paradise bird raised his head dimly, and vaguely saw the figure of his father.

She got up from the ground and wiped her eyes.

- Father indeed.

But it wasn't the old form she had seen in her memory, but the younger state she had only seen in the photographs.

A middle-aged man who looks to be only in his forties, with two deep nasolabial folds on his face and deep eye sockets, but no wrinkles on his forehead or at the corners of his eyes.

That's what he was like when he first left the church...... The aura of the illusory state above his head emitted a bright glow.

From the perspective of the paradise bird, his whole body radiated light. It was a light far brighter than Paradisebird himself, even before he died.

In just a few breaths, he was able to heal the pain all over his body.

“…… Dad, are you coming to pick me up? ”

Paradise Bird sat on the ground, looked up at the middle-aged man who was glowing, and muttered in a low voice.

The middle-aged man with a compassionate face just smiled and shook his head, his eyebrows full of relief.

"You can't die yet...... Paradise Bird. ”

The man's calm voice gave a sense of reassurance, as if it had some kind of divinity: "I swore it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man reached out and touched his cheek.

As countless illusory feathers of light flew away, the pale faceless mask was removed from his face.

And the middle-aged man turned back into a badly wounded, bloodied Russell.

He stumbled, but his whole body immediately floated.

A relatively dim white glow emerged from Russell's body, and the wound on his waist healed at a speed visible to the naked eye...... It was a faint glow, but still brighter than that of a paradise bird.

"It's no longer a problem, all the enemies have been defeated."

While treating himself, Russell chuckled, "Don't call me dad anymore...... It's quite a shame. ”

“…… Huh? ”

Paradise Bird was a little stunned for a while: "Thank you for saving me, but ......"

She saw it very clearly...... That is indeed the power of the Holy Rank. Gu Mi

But Ultramarine should be a member of the Special Enforcement Department, and what he has in his hands should be psionic energy.

Is it possible to simulate other types of abilities with psionic energy?

“…… Wait a minute. ”

At this time, the paradise bird suddenly remembered something.

Although she did have a relationship with Ultramarine, she didn't introduce herself at that time.

How does Mr. Ultramarine know...... My code name?

And it's not just his code name, he even called his real name just now, and he also became his father......

"I'm also sorry for being like your father and stealing his power. But as I said...... And as your father said, 'Because I can do it.'" So I'm not going to give up.

"So, I'm going to save you. Even if you expose your identity......"

When Russell said this, he smiled softly and looked gentle: "It's just like you saved those two people that day."

"Just as you did not hesitate to wear a halo in the place where the mage gathers in order to save the joy and sorrow......

"I had a lot of concerns. My psionic powers, the powers I hold, my identity, what can be revealed, what can't be easily revealed, and what are the hole cards that can't be used...... I think about the consequences before I do anything. But you...... And your father, teach me to do it if others need it, if 'I can do it' – power is there for that."

"As for the bugging device you installed for me...... I just dropped it in the conference room. ”

By the time Russell said this, his injuries had already been treated.

He steadied himself again, and reached out to pull the paradise bird up from the ground: "Remember to destroy the terminal on your body in a while, otherwise someone may track you back." ”

“…… Ay? ”

Paradise Bird's eyes widened.

The amount of information was too large, and her head was dizzy for a while.

Mr. Ultramarine...... It's Mr. Barber...... That's the young lady...... It's the godfather......

…… Is it the father?

So, so ultramarines are fathers......

"So Mr. Barber is not a mage—"

In the end, Paradise Bird sorted out such information for the first time.

She felt happy and ...... for a moment Then it was a loss of thought.

Although it is certain that Mr. Barber, whom she admires, is not her old enemy...... But now she is no longer a mechanical angel, and she no longer has the mission of purging mages.

“…… Nothing has changed. ”

"No, nothing has changed."

Russell was also a little helpless: "I thought you were an angel at the time, and the plans were all laid out on this basis...... After all, I've seen you with my own eyes with the aura of an angel and the power of the Holy Rank shining on your body. ”

“…… Yes, I'm sorry. ”

Hearing that he had caused trouble to Mr. Barber, Paradise Bird bowed his head and apologized in a panic.

But she whispered a little unconvinced, a little complaining: "But I have also seen you use spells with my own eyes, and I also thought that Mr. Barber was a mage......

"I'm not a real mage, and you're not a real angel...... But on the other hand, I am indeed a mage, and you are indeed an angel. ”

Russell shrugged: "It can only be said that we are too preconceived." We were all wrong, and we were all wrong.

"We're really fighting together. We share the same ideals and the same aspirations. In that case – does identity matter? ”

"You're right!"

The eyes of the Paradise Bird seemed to sparkle.

But as soon as she wanted to say something, she was interrupted by Russell:

"It's time for you to go, the explosion is too attention-grabbing, and the inferior or discordant should come over soon," Russell's mouth rose slightly, "We're destined to see you again." ”

“…… Be. ”

Although there was still something to say, Paradisebird obediently obeyed the orders of the "godfather".

But as soon as she turned around to leave, her steps suddenly stopped.

She turned around and said very seriously, "I will never betray you under any circumstances, and I will never divulge this secret."

"So...... Please bring me with you if you need it.

"I'll try to be worthy of your use, sir."

"The word 'utilization' is too heavy...... Anyway, I'll come to you if there's something. ”

Russell smiled: "Because we're already friends...... Paradise Bird. ”

“…… If you can, please call me Hua Yu in private. ”

The Paradise Bird turned its head and said softly.

"Then you can call me Russell."

Russell replied softly, "This is my real name." ”

"Hmm!"

For the first time, the face of a fourteen-year-old girl showed her innocence at her age.
