Chapter 110 Two-way redemption
Chapter 110 Two-way redemption
It seemed to be Draco's voice.
A strong desire to survive suddenly burst out, tearing apart the appearance of space. In the stone room, "Tom" disappeared in the air like a meteor.
The dazzling sunlight shone on the shrunken Afro's face, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
The busy streets were crowded with people walking in a hurry. The feeling of the corner of her clothes being pulled brought Afro back to consciousness.
She opened her eyes and looked at the shadows that blocked the sunlight. A short-haired woman was grabbing her sleeve. The woman looked very angry, her eyes were almost spitting fire, and her harsh scolding scared her.
"Why are they pulling only your hair? They're not pulling other girls' hair!"
Ten-year-old Afro held the strap of her school bag tightly on her shoulder. She was kept after school for an hour by her teacher because she had an argument with a classmate.
This was far beyond the time her mother set for her to go home.
Now her mother, who had come out to look for her, dragged her onto the street and scolded her. The loud scolding attracted the attention of passers-by. She felt her face burning and her hands gripped the shoulder straps of her schoolbag tighter and tighter.
The woman stretched out her finger and poked her forehead hard, causing her little head to tilt back a little.
"I send you to school so that you can learn!"
"It wasn't me, they pulled my hair first..."
"Still talking back! Go home now! I'm embarrassed!"
The scene in front of her changed again. In a warm and homely room, the woman looked a few years older, while the slightly older Afro sat at the desk with her diary spread out on the table.
"No wonder your grades are bad. Look at what you do all day! Talking about boys and chasing stars!"
"Confiscate your cell phone! Sell all the extracurricular books in the house! You are so young and don't want to learn well, just reading nonsense!"
"I didn't! Who told you to peek at my diary?"
"You're talking back again! I'm your mother, what's wrong with reading your diary! It's because you have secrets and don't study hard!"
"Mom is doing this for your own good. Listen to me, be good! Tear up the posters and other things tomorrow, and throw away these cards."
"When you get into college, I won't care about you anymore."
The scolding sound faded away, and the scene changed again. Eighteen-year-old Afro was standing next to the sofa, where a no longer young woman was sitting.
"You actually secretly applied to a school outside the province! Now that you've grown up, you dare to disdain your mother!"
"Mom, I didn't..."
"How dare you talk back! You've grown cocky! I'd rather have a dog than you. A dog knows how to guard the house!"
"Withdraw your application! The one I chose is close to home and it's a normal school. It's great for a little girl to be a teacher! Mom is doing this for your own good."
Outside the screen, helpless Afro squatted on the ground, covering his ears with his hands, tears dripping down his face to the ground.
It turned out that she had never reconciled with her past.
In the dark stone room, a black-haired girl was lying on the ground, and a blonde girl was floating in the air with her limbs hanging naturally. The two teenagers were running around in a panic.
"Say something! Pot!"
Harry, sweating with anxiety, jumped up, stretched out his arms and tried to grab the hem of Afro's clothes, but he missed them every time.
He had completely forgotten that he was a wizard.
"Aphrodite! Break free from the darkness and follow the direction of my voice!"
Draco's eyes fell on the dancing flames. To him, Avro was the most dazzling sunshine in the world.
An idea suddenly occurred to him. Perhaps Afulo was just trapped in some dark world. He could be Afulo's sunshine.
Afro, who was in deep darkness, vaguely heard someone calling her.
Afro? Was he calling her?
"Aphrodite, run to the light!"
Light?
In an instant, the dark world was illuminated. At that moment, a beam of light shone on her body, illuminating the way ahead.
A circle of light appeared in the air in the distance, and outside the circle of light was the scene of Draco and Harry trying to call her, while she was floating in the air.
It turns out she still has light.
"Aphrodite, God said, let there be light! When I met you, I knew that my light would finally come to the world!"
Harry stood below Aphrodite, and devoutly expressed the burning love in his heart. If he could only make her wake up, he would do so even if he would never have the chance to monopolize the god alone again!
As long as she could wake up, he would do anything!
After remembering everything, Afro finally came to her senses. Her life had changed a lot. She now had parents who loved her and close friends!
She wanted to go back! She wanted to be Afro, not Liv who had died long ago.
Afro regained her courage and ran towards them without hesitation. With every step she took, rocks fell from the world, hitting Afro as she ran towards the light.
Again and again the girl bent down to avoid the attack, her eyes became more determined, and her running movements became more resolute.
"Aphrodite, if you don't wake up, our agreement will be cancelled!"
"Draco! How dare you!"
Along with the coquettish voice, Afro's figure also fell.
Draco, overjoyed, took a step forward, pushed aside Harry who was blocking the way below, opened his arms and hugged his god tightly.
"I just heard someone say that I am his god." Afro's playful eyes met the blushing face of the savior, and a bright and brilliant smile was imprinted in his eyes.
"thank you all!"
Afro jumped out of Draco's arms and hugged the two boys, "Thank you for saving me from the darkness."
"Xiao Afu, why did you go offline? I was so worried!"
Ever since Afulo fell into the illusion, the system has lost contact with her. 23 pressed the buttons frantically and almost broke them.
"It's okay, 2333, you see I'm fine!"
"No way! For such a dangerous job, the main system only pays 10,000!"
"Xiao Afu, I'll negotiate compensation with you after this is over! You have to give me at least 100,000!"
Afro: ...Your company is blessed to have an employee like you!
The shy Xiaolong and the rosy-lipped and white-toothed savior embarrassedly withdrew from the girl's arms, because in fact they didn't want to hug their love rival!
"Parkinson's been found too, let's go!"
After Aphrodite woke up, Draco didn't want to stay in this strange secret room for even a second.
They quarrelled again over who would carry Parkinson.
"Po Te, you carry it on your back!"
"Why don't you recite it!"
"If I have to carry someone on my back, it's Afro! Who is she?"
Afro stood between the two boys, frowned, and pulled them apart again.
"I'll carry you!"
"No!" Draco and Harry shouted in unison, and then they glared at each other, neither of them willing to give in.
"My friends, the show has just begun, why are you leaving?"
A deep and pleasant voice sounded eerily in the empty and quiet stone chamber, cold and without a trace of warmth.
