Jiang Hao pulled Alice close, comforting her with words of concern and telling her he would not give up on her. As Alice watched the television screen and recalled every moment from that day, tears slid down her face uncontrollably. At that moment, she completely forgot the fear in her heart.
During the test, no one had been able to catch a normal adult in midair, especially not while being unable to secure themselves. That alone showed just how dangerous the situation had been.
Jiang Hao had held Alice suspended outside the building for seven minutes and eleven seconds, something a normal person simply could not have done. When the experts said that Jiang Hao had experienced a surge of adrenaline and burned away his own life to save her, Alice could not help crying out loud.
Mars looked at his daughter, then at Jiang Hao on the television screen. "I suddenly feel that the one million I donated really wasn't much."
The rescue report ended, followed by yesterday's news story about Jiang Hao using a soda can to strike robbers. When Alice saw Jiang Hao capture two motorcycle-riding robbers with nothing but a soda can, a smile appeared on her face.
When Jiang Hao angrily confronted the wealthy man, admiration flashed in Alice's eyes.
That night,
Alice dreamed again of being chased by masked demons. But when she ran to the edge of a cliff, someone appeared. Although Alice could not see that person's face clearly, she seemed to know who it was. Then the person wrapped an arm around her waist and carried her into the air, flying away from those masked demons and away from the cliff.
Alice opened her eyes and found that dawn had come. She did not feel as terrible as she had yesterday.
