Chapter 1354 Creating a Miracle (Countdown to the End of the Volume)

"You didn't see Qianjie for the last time, which proves... that you have said goodbye to everyone during this period, including... Paduo?"

Bai Mo's voice sounded somewhat uncertain, but of course, the answer she received did not surprise her.

"Well, that's right."

Different from Bai Mo's apparent surprise, Ailisa was very calm and as gentle as before.

"I know Bai."

“Maybe what I did wasn’t that good.”

"Now think about it, if the mature me standing in front of you right now... then I would definitely be able to make Bai more satisfied."

With her hands behind her back, she twisted her body like a little girl, as if she was really embarrassed.

But what she said just now revealed a piece of news.

"Mature me?"

"You are, Fairy Ellie?"

"Oh my! So Bai knew about this?" The girl's surprise was written all over her face, and the side of her that belonged to Alicia finally weakened a little.

Although the fairy Ai Li has always called Ai Lishia the mature herself, in fact, the gap between them is obvious.

Now that the disguise has been removed, even though the appearance has not changed, Bai Mo can still feel the substantial change.

"You are the fairy Ellie? And now you are..."

"Wait! Did you know this all along?!"

"You've always known about Paddo's situation, and that we were on the wrong path?"

Seeing the obvious surprise in Bai Mo's eyes, the fairy Ai Li shook her head.

"I just grabbed this body at that time. As for the truth..."

She sighed regretfully.

"I'm sorry, actually, before I suggested staying with Eden, I thought I was Alicia."

"It was only then, when we were halfway through our journey, that I was able to remember some things because the light curtain had been lowered, but only a few."

...

"Pado died ~ in my arms."

"Yeah...I know." She could clearly see the sadness in Bai Mo's eyes.

Even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could feel Bai Mo's pain.

When Paduo disappeared in her arms, the regret brought by the powerlessness and despair must have shrouded Bai Mo all the time.

"But she doesn't want to die!"

"She wants to live! She doesn't want to be a hero!"

"If you really remember, can you please answer me..."

"Why her? Why must it be her?"

Even though he saw everything and even though Bai Mo knew it, he still couldn't imagine what kind of pain Pado was enduring at that time.

She is so timid, but she is forced to be brave.

She likes to sleep, but she can't sleep because of the pain.

She likes to bask in the sun and bathe in the sunshine.

But at that time... the sunlight shining on her only brought torture and unbearable pain.

No one can feel that despair.

At the end of her life, when the black coat faded away and the sun enveloped her body, I wonder if this dream could allow her to have a good rest.

In the dream, there are beaches, sunshine, desserts, and her best friend.

"..."

"We need time."

With eyes filled with apology and sadness, the fairy Ai Li met Bai Mo's puzzled eyes.

"Originally... I should have been the one doing this."

"I snatched this puppet body that belongs to Alicia in order to buy enough time."

"But when I thought about everything, Padu...had already done it all for me."

After a pause, the fairy Ellie looked into the distance.

"We need enough time. Even if all cursors are activated, we cannot give the other side a chance to fight to the death."

Suddenly turning back, her eyes were still gentle, but at the moment when she looked at Bai Mo, many emotions were mixed in them.

“Pado performed a miracle.”

"You know what? As a mature person, I and everyone else have actually prepared for the worst-case scenario after the cursor is activated."

"You saw it, even though I got Alicia's body, I still forgot everything. I still... couldn't stop them from restarting the cursor."

"The activation of the cursor was, at that time, an outcome that was already doomed to occur and could not be stopped in all of our calculations."

"Can……"

"You guys, you really held on..."

"It was held..." Upon hearing this conclusion, Bai Mo didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Yes, they held on and avoided the worst.

"But...what does this mean? We have come this far, and everything Padu has done...what does it mean!"

Is this really... a victory?

Having come this far, are all the efforts and results we have achieved really meaningful?

What did they conquer?

Raising his hand, half of the lucky coin was in Bai Mo's hand, reflecting a little light in the sunlight.

"This coin..." Fairy Ellie's eyes flickered.

"I told her that everything... is enough. She has done well and can go... take a rest."

"But Padu finally came here and stood in front of you."

"..."

"She cried and told me that she couldn't hold it anymore." Taking a deep breath, Bai Mo's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Even at the end, Padu still blamed herself for not being able to defend this place."

"But now, we have secured it, but we have no way of telling her."

"Pado..." Looking up, Bai Mo's eyes met the person in front of him, as if he wanted to prove something for that brave yet cowardly girl.

"She's brave, isn't she?"

"In the end, she deserves to make all of us proud of her."

"Right?"

"..."

"of course."

He nodded gently, his answer was simple and straightforward.

"Pado, she didn't lose, she won."

"She won over everyone, including herself."

Let the most cowardly person witness his demise.

Let the most timid person bear everything.

She had said this more than once.

"If we encounter danger, we will naturally run away. With Boss Kevin and Sister Ellie, we won't cause any more trouble."

Too many times, it seems that we can often hear such useless words from her mouth. Whenever she appears, she is accompanied by similar words.

So, no one thought that she would be able to hold on, no one thought that she could really do anything, even the enemies never thought of looking this girl in the face.

Because that girl is really fragile, so fragile that she cannot bear anything in this storm, even expectations will sink into the deep sea.

But in the end, she won everything here.

Win everyone.

She bought time for Yingjie.

She went above and beyond.

Her bravery made it difficult for the enemy to advance.

So, we are proud of her.

From beginning to end, there is only one winner here.

her name is:

"Pardo, Phyllis."
