The metal railing restored itself to its original state.
Liu Zhenhan watched helplessly as the birdcage in front of him refused to break, Avril was only ten steps away, yet he could not reach her. His face had turned pale with a sense of despair.
"I will give both of you one last chance to speak." The Mermaid King Beckenbauer gestured with a "please" pose. "We, mermaids, always provide a last confession opportunity for those who are going to die."
Like a puppet on strings, the cage moved itself in front of the jade table where Avril laid, by the Mermaid King's control.
This was an instance of absolute self-assurance, complete confidence.
Finally at Avril's side, Liu Zhenhan could no longer suppress his tears; he reached through the bars and embraced Avril, tearing off those tough seaweeds that were binding Avril. Even with Liu Zhenhan's strength, it took effort to remove them.
