Chapter 682: Chapter 312: The Answer to the Prayer (Bonus Chapter 2)

Upon entering the orphanage, Wu Chang felt the pendant borrowed from Mavira faintly warming, seemingly guiding him somewhere.

But in the Cursed Dungeon, most native inhabitants of the plane are ordinary people. He didn’t want Susan to notice anything unusual and later cause trouble for Amber, so he didn’t rush to leave, posing as if he were soothed.

He was about to excuse himself to the restroom, to activate his Social Phobia to detect anomalies, when Susan suddenly said;

"You know, today before finishing her volunteer work, Amber came to me. She told me she wants to change, to try to accept herself, and also said she wants my forgiveness."

Wu Chang was halfway standing up when he paused and sat back down.

Susan continued, "I was very surprised at the time because in my impression, Amber was always afraid to face herself, also afraid to face me. Frankly speaking, it was quite embarrassing; my mind was somewhat confused, incoherent, and I didn’t express my thoughts well."

"If you go back and see Amber, please tell her for me that it’s not me who needs to forgive her, but herself."

"And also..."

Susan opened a drawer and took out a golden pentagram.

"This pentagram was a gift my sister once prepared to give Amber. She had an accident at the time and didn’t manage to give it, so it has been kept by me."

"Initially, I thought all disasters were brought by Amber and harbored resentment towards her. Later, when I became the director of the orphanage and my mindset became more stable, I realized I was unjustly blaming her."

"I have repented but never had the courage to apologize to Amber, nor did I think I was qualified to hand over the Heart of Bethlehem to her on behalf of my sister."

"For a long time, both Amber and I were afraid to face each other, until today she chose to face the past first and I could only be shocked by her growth and feel ashamed of my immaturity."

Director Susan took a deep breath and handed the Star of Bethlehem to Wu Chang with both hands.

"Amber’s changes all began after she was adopted by you. Mr. Sean, only you have the qualification, like my sister, to guide Amber’s path and bring her hope and courage."

Wu Chang received the Star of Bethlehem solemnly and said, "I will."

At this moment, the door to the director’s office was pushed open, and Yu Siyi rushed in, pulling Wu Chang to find Amber.

Wu Chang was curious how Yu Siyi encountered Amber, but now wasn’t the time to chat. He followed Yu Siyi all the way to the orphanage’s chapel.

Yu Siyi could see the orange line in the real world appeared at the chapel’s entrance.

After bringing Wu Chang here, she suddenly froze, having found the place but lacking the ability to take Wu Chang inside.

Sweat began appearing on her forehead, her eyes glanced at Wu Chang, thinking this dungeon native who could lend her so much power through the orange line should have a way himself.

Indeed he did. Standing at the chapel entrance, the silver leaf pendant on his chest became extraordinarily hot.

He looked at Yu Siyi, pondered for a moment, and took out a piece of paper behind her. Using Mystical Mastery, he printed a complex Mystical Array on it, with a Chaos Rune condensed by Chaos Authority at the center.

The paper itself had no special power, its only ability was to prove it was drawn by himself.

He handed the paper to Yu Siyi, saying, "There’s someone named Peace who owes me a favor, leave this as a token. I’m now transferring this favor to you. If needed in the future, go find him."

Yu Siyi had killed many people in Wanghai City, just as Amber said, she wasn’t a good person, but also as he and Amber said, he didn’t care.

No matter whether Yu Siyi was good or bad, she helped him, so he owed her a favor.

Yu Siyi accepted the Array Map, mouth slightly agape, no wonder someone who could help her kill dungeon monsters across the orange line, someone whom the Four Major Organizations valued so much they thought he was blessed, Peace owed him a favor even in the dungeon.

With Peace’s favor, there’d be help when using Emotional Silk Binding to bind Lu Langfeng in the future.

Wu Chang gave the paper to Yu Siyi, turned, and walked into the chapel. As the heat from his chest intensified, his vision blurred, and he found himself in a brightly lit, Christmas-themed chapel, unlike the present.

Wu Chang recognized the place; in Amanda’s grudge, this was the scene when she prayed with Amber.

However, now, there was no Amanda director in the chapel, only Amber was present.

The Amber he recognized was much younger, only appeared to be six or seven years old.

The young Amber stood before the marble statue, hands tightly clutched, softly speaking:

"Praise the God, dear God, could you tell me why, no matter how much effort I make, I always return to the starting point, back here."

"Is it that children like me, merely existing is a mistake, and I can only hurt others, hurt myself, never attain redemption."

The statue, as it did that day, didn’t answer Amber. Instead, it slightly swayed, leaning forward.

The smile of benevolence accompanied the leaned-in posture like a taunt.

Looking up at the collapsing statue, Amber’s face showed no disappointment, but rather a knowing expression that she was expecting this answer.

As she calmly faced the statue’s response, a figure sprang out from beside her, delivering a flying kick to send the statue soaring away.

Landing on the altar, replacing the statue’s position, the kicker squatted down, patted Amber’s head, and said:
