NIRVANA SHACKLES
HOW DO I SAVE HER?

“About, who will destroy Yi City, and what is their true purpose?” Huang Chao wondered.

“This issue. However, I heard that lately many strange incidents have occurred in some areas. They destroy what they want to destroy. As for their true purpose, no one knew it yet. No one knows their identity. They move like shadows. To be sure, it was impossible for them to destroy something without a specific purpose. I can only guess, their ambitions are bigger than anyone else could have imagined. The world.. it is not impossible they want to rule the world,” he said at length.

“Then, is there no way to save Yi City from destruction?” ask Wuxian.

“Not exist. Before, I told you that these people don't believe what I'm saying. In fact, they think I'm a lunatic. They believe more in false fortune-tellers who sell lies for some silver. What the fortune tellers say is nonsense. Either their confidence comes from where, but they dare say that Yi City will always be safe and prosperous,”.

“Then, you... will you not take precautions?” huang Chao asked the old Grandma.

“Not that I don't want to, but I can't. You know for yourself, I'm just an old woman who can't even see. What could this old woman do to save a large City that had a lot of humanity? Besides my ability this inner eye of mine, the rest of me is just a useless human being,” he said desperately.

“Grandma, don't say that. We are all strong if we are united. Do you want to help save the city and the people here? Looks like you've been living here a long time. You must know the ins and outs of City, more than us,” said Wuxian.

“Wuxian, do you want to save the City?” huang Chao asked with a frown.

Wuxian glanced at Huang Chao's face and stared fixedly at his face.

“If we can do it, why not try it?” reply Wuxian.

“Wuxian, relax! Our purpose in coming to this place is not for this. The destruction of Yi City, what does it have to do with us?” Huang Chao did not want to lose the argument with Wuxian.

“Then, do we have to close our eyes? If we can prevent it, why not do it? In addition, I still feel guilty because the destruction of Yi City is related to our arrival during the day,” said Wuxian.

“Wuxian, the destruction of Yi City is destiny. Even if it wasn't us, there would be someone else to mediate with. Everything is destined. Man can never fight against destiny. Wuxian, don't be stupid!” huang Chao Sentak.

“Kak Chao, everything in this world is already doomed. But, what because it is destined, we must stand by and wait for destiny to come? Brother Chao, the destruction of my village. Because of that, I feel guilty. And if this time can not prevent the destruction of Yi City, then my life will be filled with guilt,” said Wuxian.

“Wuxian! All right, do what you want. I will not help, nor block your path. What, anyway, can you do? Want to save them? Just you?” Huang Chao deliberately demeaned Wuxian only for Wuxian to be aware of their circumstances.

Wuxian was silent in silence, while looking at Huang Chao's face with his eagle gaze. He did not accept Huang Chao's words as if he was condescending to him who could do nothing. However, Wuxian could only be speechless grasping both of his palms tightly, as he felt everything Huang Chao said was nothing wrong. He was indeed a nobody who had nothing to save the life of Yi City that would suffer destruction based on mere predictions.

“Already. Young man, what your brother said is true. You better worry about yourself before you worry about other people's lives. You must save yourself if destruction comes at any time. Because you have come, the destruction is drawing near. Save yourself and do not take care of any business that is not related to you.” The grandmother gave advice to both.

“Then, you? How're you? Aren't you coming with us?” ask Wuxian.

“Don't worry about me. I've gotten used to this kind of situation. Besides, I am the one who can foresee the destruction of Yi City. If I want to save myself, why haven't I done it in a long time? There's something I still have to take care of here,” he said.

“Then you .. .” Wuxian's words were directly connected by Huang Chao.

“Then take care of yourself. Thank you for allowing us to take a short break here,” said Huang Chao.

The woman fell silent without saying anything. He got up from his seat and walked towards the wide open window of his house. He raised his head, as if staring at the sky with his eyes closed.

“Quite short time. But I did not expect, if the time would be really short,” the Granny muttered as she raised her head to face the orange sky that slowly faded with the darkness of night.

“Catch me!”

“Hey, just be careful if I catch you!”

“We!”

“Hei!!”

“Mother, I want sweet confectionery.”

“Haha, already great Ling Ling still likes the sweet-sweet. This mom give.”

“Thanks, Mom.”

“See, there are fireworks!”

“Oh true. Today is lantern festival.”

“Mother, I want to drain the lanterns in the river and pray the health of Mother.”

“You can do’a anything if we already drain it. Comeing! Mom also wants to stream one.”

The atmosphere of Yi City completely changed when it was late at night. All the residents of Yi City came out of their homes at night. They all do a variety of activities that they cannot do during the day, because daylight is the time for them to sleep.

And what a coincidence, tonight is the night of the lantern festival. The City Street was filled with various forms of lanterns that lit up Yi City along the way.

“Wuxian, do you want to buy one lantern?” huang Chao asked, offering a lantern for Wuxian.

“Forget. I don't have any money to buy it,” refuse Wuxian.

“Don't think about that. I will buy you one,” Huang Chao said.

“Do you have any money?” wuxian asked with furrowed brows while looking at Huang Chao's face.

“Hey, did you forget? I have something that can be exchanged for money. Have you forgotten our purpose for coming to this City?” Huang Chao tried to remind Wuxian.
