"Grow up..."
When Aizahár said those words, Bianka suddenly realized that the person in front of her was not an adult like Rita and the others, but a real ten-year-old child.
She was not like Senior Theresa, who, although small, still had a sharp mind. She was the same as Li Sushang. In fact, she didn't even have Li Sushang's abilities or background.
She only had herself... and her new friend, Bianka.
"After I grow up, I'll be stronger and can find a real job, instead of wandering the streets selling flowers to try and get a meager income.
"After I grow up, I won't be afraid of Hake either. I can protect the money and food I earn and won't be bullied by him."
"I'll become more capable and can do things I'm afraid to do now. I can have more choices..." Aizahár's fists gradually tightened. "I can have a better life, I can..."
...break free from all the shackles that bind me now...
Aizahár's gaze drifted to the iron bed in the corner, and to the "her mother" on the bed, covered with heavy quilts, half of her body turned into one of the Dead.
If she wanted to leave, she would need a heart cold and dirty enough to abandon that woman.
If she wanted to rush towards a new life that belonged only to her, she would have to cut off her indecisiveness, cut off the reluctance and cowardice in her heart.
Become an adult who is not loved by God.
God only loves newborns, so there is the "Amnesty Day" that allows people to be reborn. God will use an olive branch to sprinkle the dew of cleansing sins from the sky, washing away those sins and allowing people to be reborn...
So she wanted to see the Ferris wheel, end her childhood journey and become an adult, or experience an Amnesty Day and become a completely different person.
But... this was all just a fantasy, right...
When would the Ferris wheel really light up?
Maybe at that time, the Ferris wheel would be lit just for her? At that time, she would definitely be very capable...
"Aizahár," a hand suddenly rested on Aizahár's shoulder, and the force of it pulled her back from her thoughts.
She looked up in confusion, only to see Bianka with a look of certainty on her face.
"If your wish is to see the Ferris wheel light up..." Bianka stared into Aizahár's confused eyes and said firmly, "Perhaps, your wish can be fulfilled today!"
Aizahár was stunned.
How many times had she been stunned by this person she had just met? She had already lost count...
From the very beginning, she had felt that this person was strange. She was clearly dressed as a young lady, but she didn't have the airs of one. She looked even easier to raise than herself.
And now, after asking her what her wish was, this person suddenly told her that she could fulfill her wish?
What a joke? Was she just using her for entertainment?
No, this person was sincere! Whether it was everything she had observed since they had met or Bianka's gaze now, it all proved that she was serious!
So Aizahár's attention immediately shifted to what Bianka had said about "fulfilling a wish."
Could her wish... really be fulfilled?
Then was it too late to change her wish?
["People... if they are too greedy, then they won't get a single wish."] Her own voice was still chasing her!
Damn it, was this all part of your plan?!
But even if she didn't change her wish... how would Bianka fulfill it?
She wasn't God!
Bianka was indeed not God, but she had Cecilia!
Cecilia had been gone for a long time restarting the amusement park's power system. As long as she found Cecilia now and explained that she wanted to connect the power to that thing called the Ferris wheel, maybe Cecilia would really teach her how to do it!
"Come on!" Bianka patted Aizahár's shoulder with force and gave her a bright smile.
"Let's fulfill your wish!"
Bianka wasn't God... she was a devil from hell. Otherwise, how could she be so good at bewitching people?
The moment Aizahár gave her hand to Bianka and let her pull her out of the door, this thought appeared in Aizahár's mind.
And the moment they stepped out of the door, the moment the light of the desk lamp in the room dimmed with the distance as they moved away—
The colorful little lights... lit up.
Aizahár, who was about to close the door, turned her head sharply, her eyes trembling as she looked at the string of small colored lights that had been silent in this darkness for a full five months, now blooming with the light they should have.
The colorful brilliance was not strong, but in this darkness, that brilliance was deeply engraved in the dim and dark background.
And in her constantly trembling eyes.
"You..." Even the sound of her breathing was heavy with trembling. She pointed at Bianka, wanting to say something, but it was too complicated to say anything.
The second thing to light up was the neon sign.
The neon signs of each attraction suddenly appeared in the night. Aizahár couldn't understand the meaning of the words, but she could follow the small colored lights and see that these words were connected together.
Then, a building right next to them lit up... attracting the attention of both Bianka and Aizahár.
A ring of model horses pulled a motionless model carriage, fixed to the outside of the building by a pillar that connected top and bottom.
Another building suddenly lit up. This time, the building was a little further away from them.
That was also an amusement park ride, a huge tray with several huge teacups that could seat people. As the lights turned on, the teacups started to spin on their own.
The third building that lit up was already far away from them. Suddenly, Aizahár had an illusion.
Something was moving away from her... following these lit buildings, it was escaping into the distance!
Bianka grabbed her hand and walked in front of her.
She said nothing, just nodded seriously at Aizahár, and Aizahár understood what she wanted to say.
Let's chase after it...
But... she should go back. At this time, she should go back to the street and sell flowers. This was just an accident. Maybe if she came back, it would be gone?
What should she choose?
Let's chase after it!
Aizahár suddenly squeezed Bianka's hand, then, with a smile, stepped forward with Bianka at the same time!
Towards the direction where the light extended!
