Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 59: 3rd mask

When Paradise Bird was unconscious, she uncontrollably thought of her past.

Father. Mother. There are others.

The people she loved, the people she saved.

People she couldn't save, people who died before her.

Paradise Bird still remembers everyone's name, everyone's face before death, and the last words they said...

She also remembers how everyone smiled at her when she healed them.

"Am... am I going to die?"

Paradise Bird heard that such a revolving door will appear before people die.

She was sad about it, but not sorry.

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

There are good guys and there are bad guys. There are innocents and there are murderers.

Don't ask about the past, don't ask about privacy, and redeem all patients equally... This is the mission of the healer.

If life happened again, she would probably still go on this path.

After all, she respects her father so much... But if it is possible, she hopes that she will never have the power to "revenge" in her life.

Compared with gaining great power, she doesn't want hatred and pain between people.

A world that is happy enough does not need "heroes", and a world where everyone lives a long and healthy life does not need "doctors".

But compared to losing the value of its own existence, Paradise Bird would rather the world be healthy enough to no longer need doctors.

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

She can't do anything.

She can heal their bodies, but they can't heal their hearts... degenerate hearts, arrogant hearts, selfish hearts, twisted hearts.

—Perhaps what really needs to be healed is the world itself.

Such a thought came to Paradise Bird's mind.

"dad…"

The Bird of Paradise whimpered in a low voice, its voice trembling, and its vision was obscured by tears: "I have tried my best, but I still can't do anything...

"I'm so tired…"

"Hua Yu, you have done a good job."

An extremely familiar voice sounded from the Paradise Bird.

Then, an inexplicable warmth spread throughout the body.

Although he had suffered severe blood loss to the point of near shock, his body was gradually full of strength.

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

Paradise Bird looked up dimly, and vaguely saw the figure of his father.

She got up from the ground and wiped her eyes.

— indeed the father.

But it wasn't the old form that Paradise Bird had seen in her memory, but the younger form she had only seen in photos.

A middle-aged man who looked only in his forties, with two deep nasolabial folds on his face and deep eye sockets, but no wrinkles on his forehead or around his eyes.

That's how he looked when he just left the church... the halo of unreal state on his head exuded a bright glow.

From the perspective of Paradise Bird looking up, his whole body radiates light. That was far brighter than Paradise Bird himself, even before his death.

With just a few breaths, the pain in his whole body was healed.

"...Dad, are you here to pick me up?"

Paradise Bird sat on the ground, looked up at the radiant middle-aged man, and murmured softly.

The middle-aged man with a benevolent face just smiled and shook his head, his brows and eyes were full of relief.

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

The man made a reassuring, calm voice that seemed to have some kind of divinity: "I swear."

As soon as the words fell, the man reached out and touched his cheek.

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

And the middle-aged man turned back into Russell who was seriously injured and dripping with blood.

He staggered a bit, but his whole body immediately floated up.

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... Although it was slightly dim, it was still brighter than the Paradise Bird.

"It's all right now, all enemies have been defeated."

While healing himself, Russell chuckled and said, "Don't call me dad anymore...it's pretty shameful."

"…Eh?"

Paradise Bird was a little dazed for a moment: "Thank you for saving me, but..."

She saw it very clearly...it was indeed the power of the Holy Order.

But Qun Qing should be a member of the Special Executive Department, and what he has mastered should be psionic power.

Can psionics simulate other types of abilities?

"…and many more."

At this time, Paradise Bird suddenly remembered something.

Although she did have a relationship with Qunqing once, but at that time she did not introduce herself.

How did Mr. Qunqing know... my code name?

And it's not just his code name, he even called out his real name just now, and even changed into the appearance of his father...

"I'm sorry, too, for becoming like your father and stealing his power. But as I said...and as your father said, 'Because I can do it'. So I won't give up.

"So, I want to save you. Even if I expose my identity..."

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

"Just like you don't hesitate to wear a halo at the place where mages gather to save Xisang...

"I had a lot of worries. My spiritual power, the power I hold, my identity, what can be revealed, what can't be easily revealed, and what can't be used...I have to think about the consequences before doing anything. But You...and your father, taught me to do it if others need it, if 'I can do it' - that's what power exists for.

"As for the bug you installed for me... I just threw it in the conference room."

When Russell said this, the injuries on his body had already been treated.

He stabilized his feet again, stretched out his hand and pulled the Paradise Bird up from the ground: "Remember to destroy the terminal on you in a while, otherwise you may be tracked back."

"…Hey?"

Paradise Bird's eyes widened.

The excessive amount of information made her dizzy for a moment.

Mr. Qunqing...is Mr. Barber...that young lady...is the godfather...

...is the father?

So, so Qunqing is the father...

"So Mr. Barber is not a mage—"

In the end, Paradise Bird sorted out such information immediately.

For a moment, she felt delighted, stunned... and then lost.

Although it is confirmed that the Mr. Barber she admires is not her old enemy...but she is no longer a mechanical angel, and she no longer has the mission to eliminate mages.

"...everything has changed."

"No, nothing has changed."

Russell was also a little helpless: "I also thought you were an angel at the time, and the plan was based on this... After all, I have seen with my own eyes that you are wearing the halo of an angel, and your body is shining with the brilliance of the power of the holy order."

"...Yes, I'm sorry."

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

But she was a bit unwilling to admit defeat and whispered with some complaints: "But I also saw you use spells with my own eyes, and I thought Mr. Barber was a mage..."

"I am not a real mage, and you are not a real angel... But from another perspective~www.wuxiahere.com~ I am indeed a mage, and you are indeed an angel."

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

"We are indeed fighting side by side. We have the same ideals, the same aspirations. That being the case - does identity matter?"

"You're right!"

There seemed to be a light in the eyes of the Paradise Bird.

But just as she was about to say something, Russell interrupted:

"You should go, the sound of the explosion is too attractive, the inferior or the discordant should come soon," Russell's mouth slightly raised, "We have a chance to see you again."

"…Yes."

Although he still had a lot to say, Paradise Bird obediently obeyed the order of the "Godfather".

But just as she turned her head and was about to leave, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

She turned around and said very seriously: "I will never betray you no matter what, and I will never reveal this secret.

"So... if you need me, please take me.

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

"The word 'use' is too heavy... In short, if there is anything I will come to you."

Russell smiled: "Because we are already friends... Paradise Bird."

"...If you can, please call me Hua Yu in private."

Paradise Bird turned around with a soft voice.

"Then you can call me Russell, too."

Russell responded softly, "This is my real name."

"Um!"
