Chapter 1213: Adult
Gao Yang wasn’t looking at Hong Xiaoxiao, but at the chibi doll version of her on her backpack.
Realizing that, Hong Xiaoxiao explained, “Uncle Xin told me to carry it. Said it was for good luck. It worked. Our team got out without—”
She swallowed the word “sacrifice”.
She had wanted to share some good news, but then she remembered that Gao Yang had just killed his own sister. Her memories of Gao Xinxin surfaced in her mind. She bit her lips and lowered her head, her eyes reddening.
Eyes empty, Gao Yang extended his hand to Hong Xiaoxiao.
Hong Xiaoxiao took it, thinking he was going to replicate her Talents. The hand was freezing cold.
Gao Yang shook his head. “The doll.”
“Oh...right.” Hong Xiaoxiao quickly let go to detach the doll and hand it to him.
Gao Yang stared at the doll with cool eyes. It wasn’t until the arrival of the Three Double-Hours of Heavenly Tribulation that he noticed the rule-based power restricting him getting weaker. He had been too preoccupied with the fight with Envy to give it much thought.
It was when he killed Gao Xinxin that he finally realized that the power was gone.
Once Judge was activated, the restriction wouldn’t have lifted unless the judgment was over...or the user had died.
