The light bands summoned by Mei Tiantian wrapped around Chang Lin's hands, legs and neck respectively. One end of them was wrapped around Chang Lin's body, and the other end extended into the void, and it was unknown where they were nailed.
Chang Lin began to struggle, but with his weak strength, he was too powerless in front of Mei Tiantian's magic. Just like a mouse caught in a mousetrap, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape his predetermined fate.
"Tiantian, Tiantian, what are you doing? Children shouldn't make such jokes. Uncle Changlin is really going to be angry." Chang Lin shouted with heavy breathing and sweat on his forehead.
"Angry? Aren't the people who should be most angry today the ones who died in the conference center? You are a traitor, so what qualifications do you have to be angry?" The smile on Mei Tiantian's face gradually disappeared, and the expression on her little face became more and more serious. At this moment, under the setting sun, her face actually had a noble and sacred atmosphere, giving people a feeling of awe.
"Tiantian, you must have misunderstood something!" Chang Lin defended, "Who told you that? It's not like that. I'm not a traitor."
"Do you know? Just now, the fact that you and the bad guys from the empire killed our own people has been exposed. Now, people all over the world are trying to catch you. I am just the first one to find you." Umeda said.
"No, what those imperial people do has nothing to do with me. They must have made a mistake." Chang Lin said.
"If it wasn't you, what were you doing here secretly looking at the conference center through a telescope? After a normal person noticed the smoke over there, wouldn't they rush over to deal with the problem?" Umeda Tian asked back.
"You, who are you? Mei Tiantian is only ten years old and would not speak like you." Chang Lin said tremblingly.
Mei Tiantian stood in front of Chang Lin with his hands behind his back, and said like a teacher scolding someone: "Of course I am Mei Tiantian. Do you think children don't know anything? There is not such a big difference between adults and children. What's the difference between what you are doing now, snatching toys and seats from children, and bullying others in class by relying on your strength? It's just that you adults have grown up, your hearts have become darker, and the things you do are worse and more disgusting."
These words sounded ordinary, but when spoken by a child in a clear and crisp voice, they had a special penetrating power. Chang Lin felt a little guilty when he was scolded like this. He sighed and said, "Who, who told you these things?"
"I can observe for myself. Teacher Luo has told us that the most important thing for a magician is to be able to observe the world and think about the relationship between things. I am watching and thinking, but your performance is really not very good. You can't even do the things you usually teach us kids." Mei Tiantian thought for a while and said, "Not everyone can't do it. Some people can do it. But you are far behind."
"You don't understand. The adult world is very complicated. There are some things we can't help doing," Chang Lin said.
"When you said that, you really sounded like the worst student in the class," Umeda said.
"What?" Chang Lin was puzzled.
"Those poor students always say, 'I also want to study hard, but I can't learn.' Do you think they really can't learn? They will also say, 'I didn't mean to be naughty, but I thought it was fun and I couldn't help it.' Do you think they really can't help it? It's like the things you do, do you really have to do them?" Umeda asked.
"I..." Chang Lin shook his head and sighed, "They used to say you were a genius, I thought you only had a talent for magic, but now it seems that your knowledge and ideas would also put us adults to shame."
Chang Lin put on a pleading look on his face, "I know I did something wrong, but can you please let go of your uncle Chang Lin? These ropes are going to strangle me to death. I won't run away. Let's talk it out."
Mei Tiantian tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "You are not lying to the children, are you?"
"No, no, how could I lie to you? I already know that I am wrong." Chang Lin said repeatedly, "As long as you let me go, I will turn myself in. If I turn myself in, I will take the initiative to explain to everyone what I have done, admit the punishment, and hope you can give me such a chance."
"Okay then. I'll give you a chance." Mei Tiantian said straightforwardly. As soon as he finished speaking, the tight light bands softened and slowly dissipated into the air.
Chang Lin suddenly felt the restraints around him being released, and even his breathing became much smoother. He squatted on the ground, panting, but in his heart he was thinking about what to do. Although Mei Tiantian was just a child as tall as his chest, her magic power was enough to make her a threat to an adult. Chang Lin pretended to pat his back, but his hand quietly moved to his waist, where a pistol was tucked.
"Uncle Changlin, I'm waiting for you to turn yourself in. What are you doing squatting there?" Mei Tiantian looked at him and said.
"I, I just twisted my waist and it hurts so much. I'm old and it's a bit difficult for me to do those movements." Chang Lin said as his hand approached the gun.
"Do you want me to cast a healing spell for you?" asked Umeda.
"It would be great if that were possible," Chang Lin said.
Umeda began to cast healing magic. As a child, she didn't seem to be particularly skilled in using such magic and she appeared to be very focused.
Chang Lin had already touched the gun at this time, and he held his hand on the gun in a stalemate. Even he didn't want to shoot the beautiful little girl in front of him. But if, as Mei Tiantian said, people outside were trying to arrest him, it must be that the imperialists had not successfully completed their mission. Those key figures who had to die might not be dead, and there were still people who could give orders. At this time, he had to leave here according to another plan and make other plans.
This joint action with the Empire was not a foolproof thing. Rather than a game for higher power, it was a desperate counterattack after being forced into a dead end. Chang Lin was not sure that he could accomplish this beforehand, so he had already prepared to escape. But he had to leave here first, even if he had to shoot.
Chang Lin suddenly pulled out the gun behind him and fired three shots at Mei Tiantian's figure, but the bullets went through Mei Tiantian's body. Chang Lin then realized that the figure in front of him was just an illusion. The illusion Mei Tiantian looked at him with disappointment and shook her head, then disappeared into the air. Chang Lin stood up in a panic, holding the gun tremblingly and looking around, but there was nothing on the roof at this time. (To be continued)
