Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

"Who is it? Who is talking?" Chu Mengmeng murmured, looking around with tears in her eyes. Xiao Yichen gently held her hand, conveying silent comfort. Su Mubai jumped down from a height, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Lin Wan'er also walked out from the corner, looking expectantly in the direction where the voice came from.

They saw a hunchbacked old man, leaning on a cane, walking towards them with a staggering gait. He was dressed simply, but his expression could not conceal his determination and kindness.

"Old man, are you the one speaking?" Su Mubai spoke first, with a hint of respect in his tone.

The old man smiled slightly, with wisdom gleaming in his cloudy eyes. "Children, long time no see. Seeing your current appearance, I am both relieved and distressed."

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what the old man meant. They were sure that they had never seen this old man before.

"You are..." Chu Mengmeng asked tentatively.

The old man looked at her lovingly, "Child, have you forgotten? Three years ago, you saved an old man who was trapped in a sea of ​​fire."

A fragment flashed through Chu Mengmeng's mind. Three years ago, she rushed into a fire scene and rescued an old man who was trapped. But that old man...

"You are...that old grandfather?" Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

The old man smiled and nodded. "My children, you gave me a second life. Over the years, I have been paying attention to you and watching you fight against the evil forces time and time again to protect this city. I am deeply moved by your courage and determination."

"But..." Chu Mengmeng hesitated, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, "We failed, again and again..."

The old man looked at her kindly and said, "Child, who said you failed? You have saved countless lives and protected the safety of this city. Your efforts are seen and remembered by everyone."

"But we still couldn't stop it..." Lin Wan'er's voice (choked with excitement).

The old man patted her shoulder gently and said, "Child, the evil forces will not disappear easily, but your appearance is like a ray of dawn, illuminating the hope in people's hearts. You must believe that evil will never defeat justice, and light will eventually dispel darkness."

The old man's voice was sonorous and powerful, like a shot of adrenaline, injecting into the hearts of the city's guardians. They raised their heads, and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes...Chu Xiao Biography Chapter 84 Dawn Reappears

The old man's voice was like a beam of warm light, illuminating the dark corners in the hearts of the city defenders. Chu Mengmeng stared at the kind old man in front of her in a daze. His words were like spring rain, nourishing her dry heart. Yes, they saved so many people and protected the city for so long, how could they easily say they failed? Every battle, every sacrifice, was to protect the precious belief in their hearts.

"Old man, you are right, we can't give up!" Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, and a determined light rekindled in her eyes. She clenched her fists and made up her mind that this time, she would bravely face her mistakes, no longer escape, and work hard to improve her strength and become a true city guardian!

“Child, I’m glad you understand.” The old man nodded with relief, his cloudy eyes full of love, “Remember, you are not alone, there are many people supporting you, believe in yourself, you can definitely defeat evil!”

The old man's words flowed like a warm current in everyone's heart. Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai looked at each other, and they both saw the same determination in each other's eyes. They once carried a heavy past and struggled with self-blame and guilt. It was Chu Mengmeng's optimism and strength that infected them and made them see the dawn of hope.

"Old man, you are right, we must believe in ourselves!" Xiao Yichen said in a firm tone. He held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly and gave her strength.

"That's right, evil can never defeat justice!" Su Mubai also cheered up, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Children, I feel relieved to see that you have cheered up again." The old man smiled with relief. He slowly turned around and looked into the distance, as if he saw the moment when light dispelled darkness.

"Old man, are you leaving?" Lin Wan'er noticed the old man's actions and couldn't help but ask.

The old man did not look back, but just smiled faintly, "My mission has been completed, it's time to leave." His figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared in a golden light.

"Old man..." Chu Mengmeng stretched out her hand, trying to grab the golden color, but it was empty. She looked in the direction where the old man disappeared, her heart filled with gratitude and admiration.

"He is an elder worthy of respect." The guardian of the ancient ruins appeared beside the crowd at some point. He looked in the direction where the old man disappeared, with a hint of respect in his tone.

"Master Guardian, do you know that old man?" Su Mubai asked curiously.

The guardian of the ancient ruins shook his head. "I don't know him, but I can feel the powerful force emanating from him. He is a master who hides his true strength."

"Could it be that... he is the legendary..." Lin Wan'er seemed to have thought of something, but hesitated to speak.

"Legend? What legend?" Chu Mengmeng asked, her heart full of curiosity.

The guardian of the ancient ruins looked at everyone and slowly said, "Legend has it that when the city guardians need help the most, a mysterious ally will appear. He will give the guardians strength and courage and help them defeat evil..."

"Could it be that... that old man is the legendary mysterious ally?" Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

“Perhaps.” The guardian of the ancient ruins said meaningfully, “But none of this matters anymore. What matters is that you have found the direction to move forward.”

His eyes swept across everyone present, and finally stopped at Chu Mengmeng, "Child, I believe in you, you can definitely become the best city guardian!"

Chu Mengmeng's heart was shaken. She looked at the expectant eyes of the guardian of the ancient ruins, and a strong sense of responsibility surged in her heart. She knew that the road ahead was still long, but she would no longer be confused or escape. She would bravely move forward with everyone's expectations!

At this moment, in another corner of the city, a pair of cold eyes were watching all this, with an evil sneer on the corner of his mouth...

"The old man is right. We can no longer be bound by the shadow of the past." Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and said firmly, "Everything we do is to protect this city and the people we love. This belief will never change!"

Su Mubai also nodded heavily, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, "Let the past be the past, we must look forward and fight for the future!" He clenched his fists, and the confusion and pain he once had were swept away, replaced by endless fighting spirit and hope.

Seeing Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai regain their spirits, Lin Wan'er's beautiful eyes flashed with relief. She walked in front of everyone and said in a clear voice full of confidence, "I have carefully thought about the old man's words. Combined with our current situation, I have come up with a new battle strategy..."

Lin Wan'er recounted her plan, which was bold and thorough. It made full use of the city's terrain and the abilities of the guardians, and combined it with the suggestions made by the mysterious allies to form a more complete combat system.

"This is such a great plan!" Chu Mengmeng said excitedly, "I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely defeat evil!"

"Yes, we can do it!" The city guardians nodded one after another, with hope in their eyes. With the encouragement of the mysterious ally and Lin Wan'er's careful plan, they rekindled their fighting spirit and prepared to meet the greater challenges that were coming.

However, they don't know that a bigger conspiracy is quietly approaching, and the enemies they face are far more powerful and cunning than they imagined. Will the city guardians' new strategy work? How will they deal with the numerous tests that will follow? All of this is still unknown...
