On the Seven Towers

The light belts summoned by Umedada wrapped around Chang Lin's hands, legs, and neck respectively. One end of them wrapped around Chang Lin's body, and the other end extended into the void, and they were nailed to nowhere.

Chang Lin began to struggle, but with his weak strength, he was too powerless in the face of Umedada's magic. Just like a mouse caught in a mousetrap, no matter how hard it struggles, it can't escape its destined fate.

"Tiantian, Tiantian, what are you doing? Children can't make such jokes. Uncle Chang Lin is really going to be angry." Chang Lin shouted, breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

"Angry? Shouldn't the people who should be angry most today be the people who died in the conference center? You are a traitor, so why do you have the right to be angry?" The smile on Umedada's face gradually faded, and the look on his face became more and more serious. Severe, under the shining of the setting sun at this moment, her face actually had a somewhat noble and sacred atmosphere, giving people a feeling of awe.

"Tiantian, you must have misunderstood something!" Chang Lin defended, "Who told you that? That's not what happened. I'm not a traitor."

"Did you know? Just now, it was exposed that you and the bad guys from the empire killed our own people. Now, the world is full of people who want to catch you. I was just the first one to find you. ." Umeda said.

"No, what those Imperial people do has nothing to do with me. They must have made a mistake." Chang Lin said.

"If it weren't for you, what were you doing here secretly looking at the conference center with binoculars? Shouldn't a normal person rush over to deal with the problem after discovering the smoke coming out there?" Umedada asked.

"You, who are you? Umedada is only ten years old and can't talk like you." Chang Lin said tremblingly.

Umedada stood in front of Chang Lin with his hands behind his back, and said as if he was a teacher training: "Of course I am Umedada. Do you think children don't understand anything? There is not that big difference between adults and children. What you are doing now What's the difference between fighting for toys and seats with children, and using your strength to bully others in the class? It's just that as you grow up, your hearts grow darker, and you do more things. It’s even worse.”

These words may sound ordinary, but when they are spoken by a child in a clear childish voice, they have a special penetrating power. Being scolded like this, Chang Lin actually felt a little guilty in his heart. , he sighed and said: "Who, who told you these things?"

"I can observe by myself. Teacher Luo told us that as a magician, the most important thing is to be able to observe the world and think about the relationship between things. I am just watching and thinking, but your performance is really not very good. In the same way, we usually can’t do the things we teach our children.” Umedada thought for a while and said, “Not everyone can do it, but you are far behind.”

"You don't understand, the world of adults is very complicated, and there are some things we can't do," Chang Lin said.

"When you say this, you really sound like the poor student in the class." Umeda said.

"What?" Chang Lin was puzzled.

"Those poor students always say, I want to study hard, but I can't. Do you think they really can't learn? They will also say, I don't mean to be naughty, but I can't help it because it's fun. , do you think they really can't help it? Is it really what you have to do?" Umedada asked.

"I...," Chang Lin shook his head and sighed, "They said you were a genius before, and I thought it was just a talent for magic. But now it seems that your knowledge and ideas will put us adults to shame."

Chang Lin had a pleading look on his face, "I know I did some things wrong, but can you let go of your uncle Chang Lin? These ropes are going to strangle me. I won't run away. We Speak well if you have anything to say.”

Umedada tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Are you lying to a child?"

"No, no, how could I lie to you? I already know that I am wrong." Chang Lin said repeatedly, "As long as you let me go, I will surrender. If I surrender, I will take the initiative to tell everyone I understand what I have done and accept the punishment. I hope you can give me such a chance."

"Well, I'll give you a chance." Umedada said simply. As soon as he finished speaking, those tight bands of light softened and then slowly dissipated in the air.

Chang Lin suddenly felt that the restraints around him were lifted, and his breathing became much easier. He squatted on the ground and gasped, but he was thinking about what to do. Don't look at it, Umedada is just a child who is as high as his chest. But the power of magic is enough to make her a threat to an adult. Chang Lin pretended to thump his back, but his hand quietly moved to his waist, where there was a pistol.

"Uncle Chang Lin, I'm waiting for you to surrender. What are you doing squatting there?" Umeda looked at him and said.

"I, I just twisted it, and my waist hurts badly. I'm old, and it's a bit too much for me to do that kind of action." Chang Lin said, his hand already close to the gun.

"Do you want me to release a healing spell for you?" Umedada asked.

"It would be great if that could happen." Chang Lin said.

Umedada began to use healing magic. As a child, she didn't seem to be particularly skilled in using such magic. She seemed very focused.

Chang Lin had already touched the gun at this time, and he held his hand on the gun in a stalemate. Even he didn't want to shoot the beautiful little girl in front of him. But if, as Mei Tiantian said, people outside were arresting him, it must be that the imperialists had not successfully completed the mission. Those key figures who had to die might not be dead, and there were still people who could give orders. At this time, he had to leave here according to another plan and make other plans.

This joint action with the imperialists was not a foolproof thing. It was more of a desperate counterattack after being forced into a dead end than a game for higher power. Chang Lin was not sure that he could accomplish this beforehand, so he had already prepared to escape. But he had to leave here first, even if he had to shoot.

Chang Lin suddenly pulled out the gun behind him and fired three shots at Mei Tiantian's figure, but the bullets passed through Mei Tiantian's body. Chang Lin realized that the one in front of him was just an illusion. The illusion Mei Tiantian looked at him with disappointment and shook her head, then disappeared into the air. Chang Lin stood up in panic, holding the gun tremblingly and looking around, but there was nothing on the roof at this time.
