Seeing Chang Lei's distraught appearance, Tang Zijun sighed deeply. After a while, he said softly, "So, you used deception to fool 'Luan Luan,' making her believe she was still alive?"
To be honest, Tang Zijun was in a state of shock when he said these things. Even though he had dealt with Chang Lei so many times, he did not know that the other party's deception skills could be so powerful.
Deceiving death makes a dead person forget their own death, believing they are still alive, and even those around them are unaware, including themselves, without noticing anything unusual.
If it weren't for the special abilities of the Flower Fairy Clan and the Tree of Life, Trova, which make them extremely sensitive to the aura of death, this lie could probably have continued for a long time.
"What could I do?" Chang Lei smiled palely, his crimson eyes slightly moist. "When I approached, Chang Lei wasn't dead yet, or rather, he was already dead; my arrival only briefly brought him back to life."
The connection between the greedy person and the original body is still there. In addition, as a high-ranking cadre, Chang Lei's every move resonates with a huge force of desire. It is likely that the original Chang Lei received these forces and that's how he came back to life.
"I still remember the look in his eyes at that time. He showed no fear of death, only deep regret."
"When he saw me in the reflection of the broken glass, he was almost incredulous, but soon he began to beg me to save Luan Luan."
"Before he died, Chang Lei told me that he was willing to do anything and give everything, even his soul, to save Luan Luan."
"Luan Luan is still young, just a child, she is innocent..."
Luan Luan...7 years ago..
At that time, Luan Luan was probably just a baby around one year old. No wonder Chang Lei would take such a huge risk to bring Luan Luan along on his truck trips. It would take him more than half a month to go back and forth, so it was impossible for him to leave Luan Luan alone at home.
Tang Zijun squatted down with a complicated expression, gently patted Chang Lei's shoulder, and everything was understood without words.
After a while, Old Chang sighed. "I fulfilled his last wish. To save Luan Luan, I almost exhausted all my strength, and I also got Chang Lei's body as I wished."
"So that's why you're not afraid of the sun."
"Yes, with Chang Lei's body, I can live in the sunlight like a human being. From then on, I truly replaced him. There is no more Chang Lei in this world. You could say that I am Chang Lei..."
"However, although I saved Luan Luan's life, I couldn't repair her body... I thought... I thought you had a way, I, I really..."
Chang Lei's voice was somewhat breathless. When he looked up, two lines of bloody tears streamed down his face. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
Looking at his appearance, Tang Zijun didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only squat silently beside him and sigh silently.
At this moment, the Tree of Life, Trova, which had been silent until now, suddenly broke its silence.
"I didn't say I couldn't cure her..."
The somber sobbing abruptly stopped.
Chang Lei remained motionless, covering his face, while Tang Zijun mechanically twisted her neck and her lips twitched.
The entire assembly hall fell into an eerie silence.
But the deathly silence lasted only two or three seconds before it was abruptly shattered by Chang Lei's roar.
"You should have said so earlier!!"
"You son of a bitch, you bastard, you tried to scare me to death!! I XXXX...."
"Alright, alright," Tang Zijun quickly stopped Chang Lei. "Calm down, calm down first."
"Boss, don't stop me! I really... I really..." Chang Lei wiped the blood and tears from his face, pointing angrily at the ceiling of the shrine. "You hunter of geese all day long, now the goose has pecked your eye! You bastard, you've managed to fool me, haven't you?!"
The tense and sorrowful atmosphere eased, and Hyacinth burst out laughing as she looked at Chang Lei cursing and Tang Zijun clinging tightly to his waist.
Queen Ruos couldn't help but chuckle, but she still maintained a calm demeanor as she spoke, "We were simply curious as to why Luan Luan carries an aura of death about her."
"Yes, yes, I think so too," Tang Zijun said with a smile, stopping Chang Lei. "See, you've misunderstood, Lao Chang, you're clearly overthinking things."
Having just recovered from his grief and vented his emotions, Chang Lei gradually calmed down. He patted his chest and gave Tang Zijun a thumbs up. "Boss, you really are the ancient Greek god of descending stairs."
"What are you talking about? What ancient Greek god who controls the way down stairs? The ancient Greek god is right here." Tang Zijun pointed to the ceiling. "Aren't you going to thank him? He's about to save Luan Luan."
"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Chang Lei immediately realized what was going on and quickly raised his head. "Tree God, Tree God, please forgive my rudeness and don't hold it against me. I was just saying it casually and had absolutely no intention of disrespecting you."
"No need to be so polite, person in the mirror..."
The voice of the Tree of Life, Trova, slowly rang out, still carrying a thriving tone. At the same time, a verdant energy slowly rose from the ground.
"Since you are both a member of the Mirror Realm and an emissary of this god, I will certainly help you. Moreover, you have already completed the most difficult part."
As she spoke, the emerald green life force instantly enveloped Luan Luan's body, climbing up her legs and spreading throughout her entire body.
"Trova, will this have any side effects?" Tang Zijun asked casually, looking quietly at Luan Luan enveloped in green light.
"No, the person in the mirror has already used the power of desire to keep her internal organs and brain functioning. I only need to reawaken the life force within her to dispel the aura of death and bring her back to life."
Upon hearing this, Chang Lei quickly pressed for an answer. "Then, what about my daughter's leg...?"
"Now that life has returned, the meridians in her legs will naturally be restored, and at that time, she will be able to walk freely like other humans."
Hearing what the Tree of Life Trova said, Tang Zijun smiled and nudged Chang Lei with her elbow. "Alright, Lao Chang, you can rest assured now."
Chang Lei didn't respond, only smiling foolishly and muttering repeatedly, "Great, great, this is really great."
The green fluorescent light quickly merged into Luan Luan's body, and as the light faded, Luan Luan's body was exposed to the air again.
Although there was no apparent difference on the surface, her skin was no longer as pale as before; instead, it was much rosier, which relieved both Tang Zijun and Chang Lei.
"That's enough. Her body is too frail; investing too much life force would be counterproductive. But even so, she'll still live several decades longer than the average person..."
Before the Tree of Life Trova could finish speaking, Chang Lei excitedly stood up.
"That's great! Boss, even though Luan Luan didn't say it, I could always tell she hates this wheelchair more than anyone else."
"You watch, I'm going to smash this damn wheelchair tomorrow..."
"You can't smash it yet."
"Huh?" Chang Lei's face stiffened, his expression full of confusion. "Why?"
"Although her life has been restored and her body has recovered, she has never learned to walk, and her legs have not been used for a long time. Under these circumstances, she is still unable to walk."
The voice of the Tree of Life, Trova, rang out, and Tang Zijun immediately reacted.
"Trova is right. Vitality can alleviate a series of problems such as muscle atrophy, but if Luan Luan wants to be a normal person, she will probably need a period of rehabilitation."
"Oh, right, right, that's how it is..." Chang Lei scratched his head and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, then I won't smash it for now. When we get back, I'll have the bureau arrange the best nurse to help Luan Luan with her rehabilitation."
"It's Auntie's turn now," Tang Zijun said, turning to look at Chang's mother.
The old lady sat quietly, looking very kind, but her eyes were lifeless, empty, and even a little frightening.
Upon hearing Tang Zijun's words, Chang Lei excitedly rushed over. "Thank you, Tree God! Haha, let's get started!"
However, this time, the Tree of Life Trova did not respond immediately.
Seemingly sensing Trova's emotions, Tang Zijun's relaxed expression slowly faded.
"Trova, what's wrong?"
"she."
Trova, the Tree of Life, spoke with an unusually heavy tone, and after a long silence, she didn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, Chang Lei's smile froze on his face. After a pause, he couldn't help but speak up. "No, no, we can't play games like this. Using the same trick twice gets boring."
But this time, the atmosphere in the shrine was incredibly oppressive.
"Lord Tree God, you... you could even heal Luan Luan, there's no reason you couldn't heal my mother. My mother didn't experience an accident like Luan Luan; she's just... she's just a little..."
As he spoke, Chang Lei couldn't continue. He didn't know how to describe his mother's condition, and could only say that her condition was almost like that of a vegetable.
At this moment, Tang Zijun stepped forward, frowning, and asked, "Is it because Auntie is too old to be cured?"
"No, the life force is enough to rejuvenate humans who can receive its power, and even ordinary people can have their lifespan extended. If she has simply reached a certain age, it is not beyond my ability to cure her."
"Why is that?" Chang Lei asked urgently.
Upon hearing Chang Lei's question, the Tree of Life, Trova, pondered for a long time before softly replying.
"I used my life force to sense your mother's body. Although she is old, her body is still quite resilient. Apart from some hidden illnesses and inflammation, there are no other problems in her body. I also checked her spirit, but unfortunately, all my energy seemed to flow into an abyss and I received no response."
Even if someone is in a vegetative state and has lost all consciousness, or is seriously ill and in shock, as long as they are not dead,
So they also possess some spiritual energy, but judging from your mother's condition, I'm afraid your mother...:”
"Not here."
