From Genshin Impact to Star Dome, I became the best player by relying on dungeons

The whole server exploded! The inter-dimensional group was gathered by the otaku with one click?

When the golden legend popped up on the copy settlement interface, Lin Xiaobei stared at Wendy’s contract card in his backpack and laughed out loud.

This incredible system that can summon 2D characters at a 1:1 ratio requires him to lead a new anchor and a double agent to tear apart the Space-Time Administration’s world-destroying plot!

Zhongli’s jade shield collided with the Star Core Hunter’s star destroyer cannon, and General Raiden’s Wuxiang’s sword split the simulated universe in half – who said that otaku can’t rule the multidimensional world with figures?

From today on, from Teyvat to the Black Tower Space Station, all SSRs are my, Lin Xiaobei’s working emperors!

From Genshin Impact to Star Dome, I became the best player by relying on dungeons
Chapter 1 System Awakening, Cute Pets Cause Trouble
The rental house was filled with the aroma of instant noodles. The soup at the bottom of the instant noodle bucket reflected the light from the computer screen, illuminating Lin Xiaobei’s face which was filled with the word “liver emperor”.
It was three o’clock in the morning, a good time to gain points in the canyon, but unfortunately Lin Xiaobei was extremely unlucky today, losing twelve games in a row, and his mentality exploded.
“Oh my god, is this game still playable?!” Lin Xiaobei roared and slammed his fist on the table, causing the instant noodle soup to spill out.
Suddenly, a golden light screen exploded in front of his eyes, scaring him so much that he almost dropped the remaining half bucket of instant noodles on his head.
A mechanical voice suddenly sounded beside my ears: “Bronze player Lin Xiaobei, the cross-world dungeon system has been activated. Please complete the Mondstadt Defense dungeon.”
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, he felt dizzy. When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in a sunny square. The air was filled with the aroma of baked bread and sweet flowers.
“Shit, I traveled through time?” Lin Xiaobei was confused. He looked around and the Gothic architectural style instantly reminded him of the original God that he had been playing for three months.
“Wait, Mondstadt? A copy? System, are you kidding me?”
Just as he finished speaking, a white light fell from the sky, and a small figure fell in front of him with a “bang”.
Lin Xiaobei took a closer look. Isn’t this the best companion for travelers – emergency food Paimon? !
“Traveler, traveler, wake up! Welcome to the continent of Teyvat!” Paimon floated in the air, dancing excitedly.
Before Lin Xiaobei had time to digest this sudden surprise, he found that the system panel in front of him disappeared, and was replaced by a bright red countdown: 23:59:59.
“24 hours? What the hell?!” Lin Xiaobei’s heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
“Traveler, look, there are so many windmills over there, so beautiful!” Paimon didn’t notice Lin Xiaobei’s abnormality at all and was still immersed in the scenery of Teyvat.
“Paimeng, wait a minute, tell me what’s going on first…” Lin Xiaobei was about to interrogate Paimeng when he suddenly felt the earth shaking and a huge rock fell from the sky and hit him directly.
“Fuck!” Lin Xiaobei closed his eyes subconsciously, and the expected pain did not come.
He opened his eyes cautiously and found that he was unharmed. The boulder was just one meter in front of him.
“Traveler, be careful! It’s the Rockhelm King!” Paimon exclaimed and hid behind Lin Xiaobei.
Lin Xiaobei looked up and saw a Hillock Rock Helmet King, who was three times larger than an ordinary Hillock man, standing on a roof not far away. He was holding a larger stone in his hand and roaring at him in a deafening manner.
This Hill Rock Helmet King exudes a strange black aura and is obviously strengthened.
Lin Xiaobei subconsciously opened the elemental vision, huh?
The concentration of this rock element is probably equivalent to eating ten kilograms of concentrated resin.
This system is really fun, it gives me hell difficulty right from the start!
“Traveler, let’s run! This guy is so scary!” Paimon’s voice was filled with tears.
Wait, did Paimon just say “we”?
Lin Xiaobei suddenly realized a serious problem.
“Paimon, what did you call me just now?”
“Traveler, what’s wrong?” Paimon looked confused.
“It’s over…” Lin Xiaobei thought to himself that this was not good. Paimon’s words might have exposed the system and his true identity.
At this moment, a girl in a Mond uniform was holding a strange instrument and pointing it at them. Her brows were furrowed and she was muttering, “The space-time fluctuations are abnormal. An unknown energy reaction has been detected… Could it be…”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
This girl doesn’t feel good…
“Traveler, let’s run! That guy is going to throw stones again!” Paimon shouted, pointing at the Rockhelm King.
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath, “Run! Find a place to hide first!” Lin Xiaobei ran wildly, the wind whistling in his ears and his heart pounding like a drum.
Behind him, the roar of the Rockhelm King was getting closer and closer, and the ground was shaking more violently, and it felt like the entire Mondstadt was about to be demolished by it.
“Traveler, it’s catching up!” Paimon’s voice was crying, like a frightened little bird.
“Nonsense, I can hear you!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain. Besides shouting “traveler” and “emergency food”, can this little guy say anything else?
“Bang!” Another huge rock flew past Lin Xiaobei’s hair and almost sent him to see Barbatos.
If you get hit by this, you probably won’t even have a chance to revive.
“Help! I’m going to be crushed into a meat patty!” Lin Xiaobei dodged in a panic while complaining about this crappy system in his mind.
Suddenly, he bumped into a soft embrace and smelled a sweet smell of bread.
“Hey, young man, why are you running in such a hurry?” A gentle voice sounded.
Lin Xiaobei looked up and saw a pretty woman in an apron looking at him with concern.
The woman had long golden hair and blue eyes, and at first glance she looked like a gentle and kind citizen of Mondstadt.
“Madam boss, help! There is a monster behind us!” Lin Xiaobei grabbed the woman’s arm as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
This “boss lady” is Lin Xiaoxia, who is disguised as the owner of a bakery.
She calmly helped Lin Xiaobei steady himself, but her eyes drifted towards the Hill Rock Helmet King behind him, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.
At the same time, she inconspicuously turned the screen of her mobile phone towards Lin Xiaobei. It read: “The target brought a prohibited system into the Genshin World. Level: Bronze. Codename: Traveler. Coordinated target: Paimon. Mission: Monitor and wait for an opportunity to recover the system.”
At this critical moment, Lin Xiaobei caught a glimpse of the content on the mobile phone screen, and alarm bells immediately rang in his heart.
Wow, it turns out he is a ruthless character who pretends to be a pig but is actually a tiger!
“Be careful!” Lin Xiaoxia suddenly exclaimed and pushed Lin Xiaobei away.
The next second, a huge rock hit the place where they had just stood, and gravel flew everywhere.
Before Lin Xiaobei had time to thank him, he saw the Hillock Rock Helmet King lift up another bigger stone.
“Traveler, use the wind element to blow it away!” Paimon shouted anxiously.
Wind element?
Lin Xiaobei had a flash of inspiration and remembered the elemental reaction mechanism in Genshin Impact.
He concentrated his mind, mobilized the inexplicable energy in his body, and released a wind blade at the boulder.
With a “whoosh”, the wind blade hit the boulder accurately, changing its flight trajectory and smashing into a group of hillbillies nearby.
“Take advantage of now!” Lin Xiaobei took out a bottle of freezing potion from his backpack and threw it at the feet of the Rock Helmet King.
The potion exploded instantly, forming an ice wall that trapped the Hill Rock Helmet King inside.
“Paimon, use your skills!” Lin Xiaobei shouted.
Although Paimon didn’t understand what was happening, he still obediently released a wind elemental attack, hitting the ice wall.
With a loud “boom”, the ice wall exploded, and white mist emerged from the body of the frozen Hillock Rock Helmet King, and his movements slowed down significantly.
“Superconducting reaction, reducing physical resistance!” Lin Xiaobei explained, and at the same time took out a big sword, jumped, and slashed hard on the body of the Hill Rock Helmet King.
“Roar!” The Hillock Rock Helmet King let out a painful roar, and black smoke came out of his body.
“Traveler, how do you know the rules of elemental reactions?” Paimon looked at Lin Xiaobei in shock.
“Hehe, this is my exclusive secret skill!” Lin Xiaobei smiled proudly, but before he could finish showing off, he saw the Hillock Rock Helmet King open his mouth wide and spew out a stream of hot magma.
“Fuck! What kind of skill is this?!” Lin Xiaobei quickly carried Paimon to the fountain pool nearby, and the magma instantly evaporated all the water in the fountain pool.
“18:00:00”
When the system countdown sounded, Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank again.
Time is running out.
In the distance, a shrill sound of sirens came closer and closer, and Lin Xiaoxia’s face became solemn.
“The space-time agents have arrived…” She whispered, looking at Lin Xiaobei with complicated eyes, “What are you going to do?”
Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth and glanced at the hotel door that was just a stone’s throw away. “Let’s find a place to hide first!”
He pulled Paimeng up and ran towards the inn, with Lin Xiaoxia following closely behind.
“Welcome!” A tall woman greeted warmly. She lifted her hair from her forehead and showed a sweet smile.
“What can you guys do for me?”
Lin Xiaobei didn’t have time to admire the beauty. He grabbed the maid’s arm and said anxiously: “Take us to the basement!”

“Basement? We don’t have a basement here…” The maid’s smile froze for a moment, and the mechanical prosthesis made a slight “click” sound.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank. Was he really going to be caught in a jar?
At this time, a lazy voice came from behind the bar: “Anna, take them to the wine cellar.”
A woman with long fiery red hair was wiping the wine glass out of boredom.
She has a pair of deep green eyes that seem to see through everything.
Lin Xiaobei noticed that her ears were pointed, a bit like… an elf?
“Okay, Madam Boss.” Anna’s smile instantly returned to normal, and she stretched out her hand to signal Lin Xiaobei to go with her, “Please follow me.”
The wine cellar was filled with a rich aroma of wine mixed with the smell of damp earth, which made Lin Xiaobei feel dizzy.
Anna lit a dim oil lamp, illuminating the piles of wine barrels around her.
“Tell me, who are you?” The proprietress Anna leaned on a huge oak barrel and glanced at Lin Xiaobei and Lin Xiaoxia sharply.
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and briefly explained their situation, of course, concealing the existence of the system.
He always felt that this proprietress was not like an ordinary person and might be able to help.
“Time and Space Administration… hehe.” Anna chuckled and lifted her apron, revealing the… mechanical prosthesis hidden underneath? !
Lin Xiaobei and Lin Xiaoxia were both stunned. What happened to this sudden change in style?
Anna seemed to see through their confusion and said calmly: “I’ve seen similar system holders, and they all disappeared in the end.” Her tone did not express any emotion, but it made Lin Xiaobei feel an inexplicable chill.
She took out a scroll from under the bar and handed it to Lin Xiaobei: “This is a map of the mines on the outskirts of the city. It is said that this is where the Qiuqiu Rock King hides.”
Lin Xiaobei took the map and found that it was covered with strange symbols and he couldn’t understand it at all.
Anna explained that this was encrypted using an ancient script that only the “awakened” could decipher.
“Awakener?” Lin Xiaobei was even more confused.
Anna didn’t explain, but just looked at him meaningfully, then took out a device similar to a pocket watch from her pocket, which was flashing a strange light.
“The secret order from the Space-Time Administration…” She muttered to herself, then closed her eyes, as if interpreting something.
After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and her face became extremely solemn.
“The world line… has experienced abnormal fluctuations…”
Lin Xiaobei was completely confused and had no idea what she was talking about.
At this time, Paimon dug out a cup of hot cocoa left behind by a time and space agent from somewhere, and was drinking it, trying to dispel the cold in the cellar.
Suddenly, a holographic projection appeared on the beverage can, and Lin Xiaoxia’s portrait appeared on it, with a line of words next to it: A-level agent, Lin Xiaoxia, codenamed “Falcon”.
“Oh my god! What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed and looked at Lin Xiaoxia with suspicion in his eyes.
Lin Xiaoxia was also confused. She had no idea what was going on.
Anna sneered: “It seems that there is unrest among you…”
Lin Xiaobei suddenly remembered the system and quickly opened the system interface. He found that the “Summon” function was still gray, but there was an additional “Cooling Time” prompt below: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
“Wait, cooling time? That means I can summon again?” Lin Xiaobei’s mind moved, and he tried to click the “Summon” button.
Sure enough, an illusory shadow appeared in front of him, it was Ningguang!
However, this Ningguang looks a little transparent and cannot perform any operations.
“The core of the element… is in its heart…” Ningguang’s afterimage left a sentence and then disappeared.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned. Elemental core? Heart? Could it be…
“Bang!” A loud noise came from the entrance of the cellar, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps getting closer and closer…
The wooden door of the wine cellar was knocked open by a huge force, and dazzling light instantly poured in, making Lin Xiaobei almost unable to open his eyes.
The space-time agents armed with live ammunition filed in, with the black muzzles of their guns pointed at them.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, mixed with the aroma of wine, forming a strange smell.
“Follow us obediently, resistance will only bring you pain!” The leading agent, a burly bald man, said in a low voice, his mechanical arm flashing dangerous light.
“Run!” Anna suddenly shouted and pushed Lin Xiaobei away.
Lin Xiaobei staggered a few steps, grabbed Paimeng, who was still in a daze holding the pot of hot cocoa, and turned around and ran deep into the wine cellar.
The agents opened fire immediately, laser bullets whizzed past their ears and hit the barrels, splashing wine.
“There’s no way out here!” Lin Xiaoxia pointed at the wall at the end of the wine cellar, with a hint of despair in her tone.
Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth, pulled open a small wooden door, and a gust of cold wind blew in his face.
It turns out that behind this unremarkable wooden door is a narrow staircase leading to the roof of the hotel.
“Follow me!” Lin Xiaobei pulled Lin Xiaoxia, hugged Paimeng, and rushed up the stairs in two steps.
As soon as they stepped onto the roof, three drones roared towards them, the weapons on their bodies flashing cold light.
Lin Xiaobei cursed inwardly, these guys are really lingering around!
He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and mobilized the wind element in his body.
“call–“
A strong gust of wind gushed out from his palm, forming an updraft that lifted him, Lin Xiaoxia and Paimon up.
“Wuhu! Take off!” Lin Xiaobei shouted excitedly. This feeling is more exciting than riding a roller coaster!
The drones were chasing them relentlessly, and laser bullets kept passing by them, making sharp whistling sounds.
Lin Xiaobei controlled the wind element and dodged flexibly on the roof.
“Xiaobei, left!” Lin Xiaoxia reminded loudly.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly leaned to the left and barely avoided a laser cannon.
He seized the opportunity, swung his hand back, and a wind blade whizzed out, accurately hitting the propeller of a drone.
“boom!”
The drone emitted black smoke, lost control, and crashed.
“Nice!” Lin Xiaobei waved his fist excitedly.
The remaining two drones seemed to be enraged and opened fire at full force, with dense laser bullets pouring down like raindrops.
Lin Xiaobei controlled the wind element, gliding in the air and avoiding attacks.
“There’s a bell tower in front!” Lin Xiaoxia pointed at the towering bell tower in front and shouted loudly.
Lin Xiaobei understood what he meant and controlled the wind element, flying towards the clock tower.
He accelerated suddenly, like a flash of lightning, cutting through the night sky, smashing the glass windows of the clock tower and rushing in.
At the same time, inside the inn, Anna activated the inn’s defense system.
The mechanical arm made a humming sound, and a dazzling beam of charged light blasted at the space-time agents pouring into the inn, forcing them back.
“Go to the mine quickly! I’ll hold them back!” Anna’s voice echoed in the inn with a hint of determination.
Huge energy waves emanated from her body, and her long red hair fluttered in the air like a burning flame.
At the top of the bell tower, Lin Xiaobei was breathing heavily and looking around.
Suddenly, he found a familiar figure standing opposite him, holding an iris scanner in his hand, pointing it at him.
It’s Lin Xiaoxia!
Lin Xiaoxia
“Xiaobei, I’m sorry…” Lin Xiaoxia whispered and pulled the trigger.
“Bang!”
The last drone was shot down.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned. He totally didn’t understand why Lin Xiaoxia did this.
The countdown on the system interface continues: 12 hours.
Suddenly, outside the bell tower, at the entrance of the mine, a twisted space crack appeared, flashing a strange light.
“It seems that time is running out…” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself, his eyes cast towards the space crack.
“Wait, Xiaoxia, you…”
Before Lin Xiaobei could finish, Lin Xiaoxia suddenly interrupted him and said in a serious tone: “Remember, find the core of the element!”

Chapter 3: Elemental Runaway, Space-Time Rift (Old Version)
Deep in the mine, the air was as heavy as solidified asphalt, and the smell of mold and dust mixed together and drilled straight into the nostrils.
The Hill Rock King, a thing as strong as a mountain, was panting heavily, and the rock armor on his body was shining with metallic luster, making him look like a robot that had just walked out of a steel factory.
The ground suddenly shook violently, Lin Xiaobei’s feet were empty, and he fell downwards!
“Shit! What’s going on?!” He instinctively grabbed the rock wall next to him and managed to steady himself.
Below, a huge pit collapsed in the ground, and colorful liquids were tumbling in it, emitting a strange light.
“Paimon, write this down – this is an improved version of Ningguang’s mechanical engineering!” Lin Xiaobei clung to the rock wall tightly and shouted into the air, as if there really was a little elf flying around him.
“This old guy is quite trendy, he even knows how to play with mechanisms!” He couldn’t help but complain. The design of this mechanism was more exciting than any puzzle game he had ever played.
At the critical moment, Lin Xiaobei’s brain was extremely calm and working rapidly.
He squinted his eyes and observed his surroundings, and a bold plan took shape in his mind.
He took a deep breath, mobilized the fire element in his body, and injected a stream of hot energy into the cracks in the rock wall.
“Boom!” With a dull sound, a small hole exploded in the rock wall, and the powerful recoil force pushed him suddenly into the air.
In mid-air, Lin Xiaobei quickly switched elemental powers, and the cold ice element instantly covered his entire body, like a blue lightning flashing across the mine.
He aimed at the Rock King and a burst of cold air gushed out, freezing the huge monster in place, unable to move.
“Hehe, let’s see where you can run now!” Lin Xiaobei smiled proudly, and then, dazzling electric elements covered his whole body, and the crackling sound of electric current echoed in the mine.
“Overload reaction ready–!”
With a deafening explosion, the entire mine shook.
The strong shock wave blew Lin Xiaobei away. He fell heavily to the ground and felt that all his internal organs were displaced.
The smoke from the explosion cleared, revealing the figure of the Hill Rock King.
Its huge body fell to the ground, its rock armor shattered into pieces, and a red crystal glowing in its heart was particularly eye-catching – the “Core of the Element”.
“Finally done!” Lin Xiaobei struggled to get up, wiped the dust off his face, his eyes flashing with excitement.
He staggered to the side of the Rock King and stretched out his hand, trying to touch the elemental core.
At this moment, a figure fell from the sky and landed lightly in front of him.
Lin Xiaoxia, wearing a neat black tights and holding a dagger that was shining with cold light in her hand, pushed Lin Xiaobei’s hand away without hesitation.
“The system belongs to the Administration!” Lin Xiaoxia’s tone was cold and her eyes were sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, pointing directly at Lin Xiaobei.
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?!” Lin Xiaobei was confused. This plot was not going in the right direction!
What about fighting side by side?
Why did you suddenly turn against me?
Lin Xiaoxia ignored his complaints, grabbed the elemental core, turned around and was about to leave.
“Wait!” Lin Xiaobei was anxious. He worked so hard to get this thing, how could he just give it to someone else?
“This thing is mine!”
Lin Xiaobei was quick to grab Lin Xiaoxia’s wrist and said, “Don’t mess around! If this thing explodes, we’re all done for!”
Lin Xiaoxia frowned, but she quickly calmed down and shook off Lin Xiaobei’s hand. “Stop talking nonsense! This is top secret, you are not qualified to ask!”
As the two of them were pulling each other, the elemental core slipped from Lin Xiaoxia’s hand and fell into the rolling reaction pool below with a “bang”.
“Shit! It’s over!” Lin Xiaobei’s face changed drastically, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
The liquid in the reaction pool rolled violently as if it was boiling, making a gurgling sound.
The colorful light became brighter and brighter, like a supernova about to explode.
“Run!” Lin Xiaobei yelled and picked up the air – he habitually tried to grab Paimeng, but missed. Then he remembered that this little guy was just virtualized by the system.
However, at the critical moment, he didn’t care about so much and dragged Lin Xiaoxia out of the mine.
However, it was too late.
“boom–!”
There was a deafening roar, and the entire mine shook violently.
The strong shock wave blew Lin Xiaobei and Lin Xiaoxia away, and they fell heavily to the ground like kites with broken strings.
Lin Xiaobei only felt a white light in front of his eyes, his ears were buzzing, and he could not hear anything.
He felt like he was hit by a speeding truck, his internal organs were displaced, and all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.
The strong airflow generated by the explosion swept through the entire mine, and gravel, dust, and all kinds of mess flew everywhere like bullets.
Lin Xiaobei instinctively curled up into a ball, protecting his head with both hands, his ears filled with the whistling wind and the sharp sound of breaking air.
After an unknown amount of time, the aftermath of the explosion finally subsided.
Lin Xiaobei struggled to get up, feeling dizzy and sore all over.
He stood up shakily, looked around, and found that the mine was in a state of disarray.
There were broken stones and rubble everywhere, and huge cracks appeared on the originally solid rock walls, as if they would collapse at any time.
The air was filled with pungent smells of sulfur and burnt food, making it difficult to breathe.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Lin Xiaobei coughed violently, feeling as if his throat was burning.
He tried hard to open his eyes, but found his vision blurry and he could not see anything clearly.
“Lin Xiaoxia! Where are you?!” he shouted loudly, his voice hoarse and weak.
No response.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank, and a strong sense of fear surged into his heart.
He stumbled forward, calling Lin Xiaoxia’s name as he walked.
Suddenly, his feet felt empty and he fell downwards.
“ah–!”
Lin Xiaobei let out a terrified scream and fell heavily onto a soft object.
“Ouch! What are you doing?” A familiar voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had fallen on Paimeng.
“Paimon? Are you okay?”
“It’s okay, it just feels a little uncomfortable…” Paimeng rubbed his stomach and said with a look of grievance.
Only then did Lin Xiaobei realize that he and Paimon had rolled into a relatively safe cave at some point and avoided the direct impact of the explosion.
“That’s great, I’m glad you’re okay…” Lin Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he had walked back from the gates of hell.
Just then, he suddenly heard a faint cry.
“Lin Xiaobei…be careful…”
Lin Xiaobei suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a space-time rift appearing not far away. Lin Xiaoxia’s figure was struggling in it, as if she would be swallowed up at any time.
“Lin Xiaoxia!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed and wanted to rush over to save her.
Lin Xiaoxia’s figure became increasingly blurred, and finally disappeared into the crack of time and space.
Before she died, she used up her last bit of strength and shouted, “Be careful… The Authority has set traps in all worlds!”
The rift in time and space slowly closed, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xiaobei stood there blankly, his mind going blank.
“Ding! The system is restarting…”
A cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly came back to his senses and looked down at his wrist.
The originally dim system interface is now flashing with dazzling light.
“Elemental nuclear energy fluctuations detected… exchanging contract cards…”
The system prompt sound continued to sound, but the countdown had already returned to zero.
“What’s going on? Why did the redemption fail?” Lin Xiaobei looked at Paimeng with confusion.
Paimon trembled and said: “The world line of Teyvat is distorting…”
Lin Xiaobei looked up at the sky, and saw that the originally clear sky was suddenly filled with distorted fragments, like a broken mirror.
What’s even more bizarre is that one of the fragments actually contained the wreckage of the Star Dome Railway train!
“Ding! The system is updating… Successfully promoted from Bronze to Silver. It is detected that the Star Dome dungeon mission has been refreshed——”
The system prompt sound stopped abruptly.
“Starry Sky Railway…copy mission…” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.
He had a premonition that he was about to embark on an even more thrilling journey.
“Xiaobei…!” A familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Chapter 4: Star Railway Crisis: Real and Fake Captain Duel (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei only felt a flash before his eyes, and before he could say goodbye to Paimon, he felt like he was on a roller coaster at a faster-than-light speed, and his internal organs were almost turned upside down.
When he finally managed to steady himself, he found himself standing on a familiar platform – the Beloberg upper section of the Star Dome Railway!
There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, towering mechanical pipes were overhead, and the ground was cold metal underfoot. Everything gave off a sense of a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
“Damn, the teleportation in this dungeon is too rough!” Lin Xiaobei rubbed his dizzy head and couldn’t help but complain.
Before he had time to take a closer look at his surroundings, a sharp sound of metallic friction cut through the air.
He saw a team of fully armed patrol members approaching him quickly, led by a burly man, it was Chen Hao!
It’s just…Chen Hao now has empty eyes, a stiff expression, and a murderous aura emanating from his whole body that tells people to stay away from him.
“System intruder, hand over the Sands of Time immediately!” Chen Hao’s voice was cold and mechanical, like an emotionless robot.
Without saying a word, he picked up the chainsaw gun in his hand and fired wildly in the direction of Lin Xiaobei.
“Fuck! Brother Hao, are you serious?” Lin Xiaobei was scared out of his wits. This was a life-and-death situation from the start!
At the critical moment, he activated the “Cross-World Dungeon System” without hesitation: “Bond, come out and take the bullet for me!”
A dazzling light flashed, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei.
She was a tall, delicate-looking woman with short silver hair, which made her look capable and heroic.
However, at this moment, her face was terribly gloomy, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
“You again?!” As soon as the bond appeared, it glared at Lin Xiaobei angrily, “I’m saying, are you doing this on purpose? You always choose this time to summon me? You’re the traitor captain who got me kicked off the list!”
“Oh my Captain, is this the time to say this? Can’t you see someone is about to shoot me?” Lin Xiaobei wanted to cry but had no tears. This bond’s temper was still as hot as ever.
However, Chen Hao didn’t give them any chance to talk nonsense.
The chainsaw gun in his hand made a deafening roar, and lava bombs whizzed towards them like meteors.
“Kill order! Clear all obstacles!” Chen Hao repeated this sentence mechanically, as if it was a set program.
“Fuck your uncle’s killing order!” Lin Xiaobei was dodging the lava bomb in a panic while complaining wildly in his mind.
Has Chen Hao been brainwashed?
How come he’s like a different person?
In a hurry, he rolled over and hid behind a control console nearby, barely avoiding an oncoming lava bomb.
The console was blown to pieces in an instant, and the flying sparks almost burned Lin Xiaobei’s hair.
“Lin Xiaobei, can you be more reliable? Playing hide and seek won’t solve the problem!” Jiehan said unhappily while waving the light blade in his hand to block Chen Hao’s attack.
“I also want to be reliable, but the key is that Brother Hao is completely unreasonable!” Lin Xiaobei said with a sad face.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Chen Hao’s attack method.
Although his movements looked fierce, it always felt like something was missing.
“His tactical moves… look so familiar!” Lin Xiaobei’s mind raced as he tried to recall something.
Suddenly, he had an idea and remembered something.
“I remember now! This is… the ‘White Emperor Rebellion’ in the Starry Sky Railway plot!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed.
“The Baidi Rebellion? What is that?” Jiban asked with a puzzled look on his face.
“To put it simply, it’s an incident in the Starry Sky Railway plot, where the villain also used similar methods to control a group of people.” Lin Xiaobei explained quickly, “Brother Hao’s current state is exactly the same as those who were controlled!”
“You mean, he was controlled by someone?” Jiechan frowned.
“Very likely!” Lin Xiaobei nodded, and then shouted to Chen Hao: “Brother Hao! Your right-hand rule should be to fire with your left hand! Have you forgotten when we played together?”
His voice echoed on the empty platform, carrying a glimmer of hope and a hint of trembling.
Chen Hao’s movements suddenly paused, and the chainsaw gun in his empty hand also stopped roaring, and the entire space became quiet in an instant.
Just when Lin Xiaobei thought his shouting had worked, Chen Hao’s body suddenly trembled and a painful expression appeared on his face.
“Kill…kill…order…” He uttered a few words with difficulty and raised the chainsaw gun in his hand again.
“It’s useless, he has been completely controlled.” Jiban sighed, his tone full of helplessness.
“I don’t believe it!” Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth. He didn’t believe that Chen Hao would become like this.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and carefully observed every movement and every detail of Chen Hao.
Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be a tiny piece of metal on Chen Hao’s neck, flashing a faint light.
“Found it!” Lin Xiaobei’s heart moved
Just as he was about to take action, a cold voice suddenly sounded on the platform.
“captain……”
Chen Hao was stunned, and the chainsaw gun in his hand stopped in mid-air, motionless.
0.3 seconds later, Catherine’s communicator suddenly rang.
“Captain, the countdown to clearing false memories is 5 minutes!” Catherine’s voice was as cold as the deep space, without a trace of emotion. It came from the communicator and echoed on the empty platform like a death warrant.
Chen Hao was stunned, as if a program that was 99.9% downloaded suddenly got stuck, and his whole body froze in place.
In his empty eyes, a faint flame flickered.
Those 0.3 seconds seemed as long as a century, as if the past and the present were colliding violently.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed out from the shadows like a ghost!
“Bang!” The dull sound of metal collision, accompanied by a suppressed scream, broke the solidified air.
Lin Xiaoxia, the energetic intern, was now like a cheetah ready to pounce, with sharp eyes and the muzzle of the gun in his hand pressed against Catherine’s lower back.
The air froze instantly, and a tense atmosphere spread.
A hint of surprise flashed across Catherine’s face, but she quickly regained her composure. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned by this sudden change.
He opened his mouth wide, feeling like his brain’s CPU was about to burn out.
What is going on?
Why did Xiao Xia suddenly…
Before he could react, Ji Chan seized this critical opportunity and took decisive action!
Her slender fingers danced rapidly on the console, and lines of complex codes poured down like waterfalls.
“Captain’s authority code, activate!” Bind’s voice was crisp and firm, carrying an unquestionable power.
The holographic screen on the console flickered a few times, and then an encrypted log file popped up.
That was the encrypted log when Chen Hao was removed from the list, recording the last moment of his career as captain.
Chen Hao’s pupils suddenly contracted and his stiff body trembled slightly.
He stared at the log on the screen, as if he wanted to carve it into the depths of his soul.
“Impossible… My ship… is still there?” He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse and trembling, like a person who has trekked in the desert for a long time and finally found a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, gunshots rang out again!
Lin Xiaoxia pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the bullet accurately shattered the key projection on the holographic screen.
The screen went dark in an instant, as if all hope was lost.
Catherine sneered and stared at Lin Xiaoxia with cold eyes: “You are in cahoots with him!”
Lin Xiaoxia didn’t say anything, but silently pressed the muzzle of the gun harder against Catherine’s lower back.
There was no fear in her eyes, only unwavering determination.
Chen Hao’s pupils turned blood red in an instant, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
“Continue… clear the program…” He repeated this sentence mechanically, as if it was a set program that could not escape control.
At this moment, Lin Xiaobei’s contract card backpack suddenly popped out automatically, and a card shining with golden light slowly rose up – it was Ningguang’s card!
The screen went black instantly…
“Ningguang? What the hell is this…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice stopped abruptly.
Chapter 5: The Engineer’s Bet (Old Version)
The snowflakes on the screen disappeared like the foam of cheap beer. Lin Xiaobei found himself in an unsightly posture, face down, in close contact with a pile of rusty pipes.
“Hiss… Which wicked guy designed this maintenance passage? It has more stuffing than the chive dumplings my grandma made!” He rubbed his nose and climbed up. The dust choked him and made him cough. The smell of engine oil mixed with the scent of unknown mold almost made him die on the spot.
The surroundings were dark and damp, with only a few flickering emergency lights emitting a faint green light, making it look like a scene from a horror movie.
There was a “clang clang” sound of metal collision coming from above his head. It was probably that Catherine and her gang were still chasing him relentlessly.
Lin Xiaobei sighed, and lamented that his life as a time traveler was too exciting, comparable to riding a roller coaster without a seat belt.
Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter broke the silence of the maintenance floor. The laughter was sharp and piercing, like the friction of rusty gears, making people’s scalps numb.
“Hahahaha! With this, plus a little bit of Teyvat’s… um, specialty, my masterpiece is complete!”
Following the sound, Lin Xiaobei saw a figure dancing wildly in the dim light, as if performing some mysterious ritual.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Walter Yang from Star Dome Railway.
I saw that his hair was messy, his face was covered with oil, and he was holding a huge piece of hillstone armor in his hand, as if he was holding some treasure.
“Give me the elemental core of Teyvat, and I can make a time sand decoder to control those annoying little gadgets!” Walter waved the armor fragments excitedly, spitting out saliva.
Lin Xiaobei’s eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.
He took out an elemental core that was glowing with electricity from his backpack and shook it in front of Walter: “What’s the plan? Tell me your plan first. I’m not just doing this for free.”
Walter snatched the core of the element and stuffed it into his pocket like a squirrel hiding a nut. Then he whispered mysteriously into Lin Xiaobei’s ear: “Do you know the legend of the Mechanical City? Under the ground of Beloberg, the legacy of ancient civilization is sleeping…”
“Stop, stop,” Lin Xiaobei interrupted him hastily, “I know everything you said. I also know that you actually want to use the energy of the elemental core to stimulate the remaining power of the Qiuqiuyan armor fragments, and cooperate with the control program cracker you modified to interfere with the signal of the Space-Time Administration, right?”
Walter was stunned, his mouth opened so wide that a duck egg could fit in it.
He looked Lin Xiaobei up and down, his eyes full of disbelief: “You…how did you know? Are you also…”
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m just a concerned citizen passing by,” Lin Xiaobei shrugged. “Hurry up, give me the decoder, I have something else to do.”
Walter suddenly threw a metal thing over: “Catch it! This thing can block Chen Hao’s damn chainsaw gun!”
Lin Xiaobei took it subconsciously. It felt cold and heavy, like a robotic arm.
Before he could react, a loud explosion was heard in the distance, and then a large hole was blown in the wall of the maintenance floor. A group of drones with flashing red lights swarmed in. Catherine appeared at the entrance of the hole, holding an exaggerated energy gun in her hand.
“Lin Xiaobei, you can’t run away!” Catherine’s voice was cold and ruthless, like a judgment from hell.
At this moment, an electromagnetic net suddenly shot out from the side, trapping Walter tightly.
Lin Xiaoxia appeared behind Walter at some point, holding a strange device in her hand, with no expression on her face.
“The system holder must be brought back to the Administration!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was cold and firm, as if he was a different person.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice hole, with a chill running from the soles of his feet to his head.
Lin Xiaoxia betrayed?
“Xiao Xia, you…” Lin Xiaobei was about to speak, but saw Chen Hao’s figure appear behind Catherine. He was holding the chainsaw gun in his hand, with cold eyes, like a beast ready to attack.
“Continue… clear the program…” Chen Hao’s voice was low and hoarse, like a broken machine.
He suddenly raised the chainsaw gun and stabbed Catherine in the back…
The roar of the chainsaw tore through the air, sparks flew, and the “sizzling” sound of metal rubbing against flesh was tooth-grinding.
Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun did not pierce her back as Catherine expected, but instead cut through the metal shell of her arm, revealing the complex circuits and flashing energy core inside.
“Why did you tamper with my memory?!” Chen Hao’s voice roared like a trapped beast, and every word was filled with anger and pain of betrayal.
The chip on the back of his neck flashed a blinding red light, like a time bomb about to explode. The energy fluctuations were so chaotic that they almost distorted the surrounding space.
Catherine staggered back, covering her torn arm. She didn’t expect Chen Hao to suddenly turn against her, and she didn’t expect the Administration control chip in his body to react so violently.
Lin Xiaobei was quick-witted and quick-handed. Taking advantage of the chaos, he grabbed the metal thing Walter threw to him – the decoder – tightly in his hand.
He inserted an elemental core into the slot of the decoder. An electric current surged, and the holographic screen on the surface of the decoder lit up, showing the familiar Star Dome Railway interface.
“It’s done!” Lin Xiaobei was delighted, and his fingers quickly operated on the screen to call up Chen Hao’s captain’s log.
Lines of text poured down like waterfalls, recording Chen Hao’s experiences in the Starry Sky Railway world and his doubts about the Space Time Administration.
“The Baidi Rebellion is fake…the real traitor is…” Lin Xiaobei stared at the words on the screen, his heart beating violently.
He felt that he was about to touch upon a huge secret, a secret that was enough to subvert the entire Space-Time Administration.
Just then, a cold metallic touch pressed against the back of his head.
“Hand over the contract card–” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was emotionless, as if she was a robot controlled by a program.
Her eyes were empty and the muzzle of the gun was pointed steadily at Lin Xiaobei without any hesitation.
Lin Xiaobei’s whole body was stiff, and cold sweat ran down his back.
He didn’t expect that Lin Xiaoxia would attack him at this time.
Is she really completely controlled by the Space-Time Administration?
“Xiao Xia, you…” Lin Xiaobei spoke with difficulty, trying to awaken the remaining memories in her heart.
However, before he could finish his words, Chen Hao’s pupils suddenly changed strangely.
The originally azure blue pupils split, half turned into the gold color of the Space Time Administration Bureau logo, and the other half remained the blue color of the Star Dome Railway.
The two colors intertwined together, like yin and yang, exuding an unsettling atmosphere.
“Ah——” Chen Hao let out a painful roar, his body shaking violently as if he was suffering from great pain.
Immediately afterwards, a huge space-time crack suddenly tore open above Chen Hao’s head, like a monster with its huge mouth open, wanting to swallow up everything around it.
Colorful lights flickered in the cracks, emitting suffocating energy fluctuations.
The snowflakes on the screen appeared again with a crackling sound, swallowing up all the scenes.
“No——” Lin Xiaobei only had time to let out a desperate cry before he was pulled into the space-time rift by a powerful suction force…
“Restart…system…start…” A mechanical voice echoed in the empty crack.
Chapter 6 Double Agent: Battle for the Sands of Time (Old Version)
“Now connect all world lines–” Catherine’s mechanical body burst out with dazzling energy like the engine of the Star Train running at full speed.
Her delicate face was now distorted like a poorly-made model that had failed to load, looking crazy and determined.
Floating in the center of the space-time rift is the key to this copy – the Core of the Sands of Time, which flickers with a mysterious glow, as if containing endless mysteries of time.
Lin Xiaobei was caught in the turbulence of time and space, feeling dizzy and his internal organs were almost displaced.
He managed to steady himself, and before he could complain about the slow loading speed of this copy, he saw a beautiful figure kicking towards Catherine’s console like an arrow.
Sparks flew all over the console, and a burning smell came out.
Catherine was caught off guard, her body shook, and the connecting energy lines broke, shaking the entire space.
“You are a fake. You don’t understand the true meaning of Shisha at all!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was crisp and decisive, with a coldness that was completely different from usual.
She revealed a combat uniform covered in scratches and bullet holes.
There is still a vague number on the shoulder of the combat uniform – 7416.
Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes and almost thought he had seen it wrong.
This familiar plot twist, this familiar plot… Could it be that this energetic assistant of his is actually a hidden undercover?
“7416… So that’s it, a classic plot, double agent!” Lin Xiaobei complained in his mind, but his hands did not slow down at all.
He knew very well that now was not the time to be idle and he must seize every opportunity.
On the other hand, Chen Hao’s situation seemed even worse.
He held his head and roared in pain. His originally handsome face was now covered with hideous bloodshot.
The Star Dome Railway uniform on his body seemed to be torn by an invisible force, revealing the equally worn Administration combat uniform underneath.
“Captain’s log… I didn’t betray…!” Chen Hao’s voice was hoarse and low, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of his throat.
He suddenly raised his head, and blue and red light intertwined in his eyes, like two burning flames.
Then, he roared angrily and tore off the remaining Star Dome uniform on his body, revealing his scarred body.
He grabbed the huge chainsaw gun behind him and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The chainsaw gun burst out with blue and red flames, forming a dazzling beam of light, which slashed fiercely at the space-time crack in front of it.
The scene was like a perfect replica of the final battle on the Star Dome Railway.
“Oh my god, this is a real man!” Lin Xiaobei’s blood boiled with excitement, and he wished he could rush up and fight alongside Chen Hao.
Catherine’s connection was interrupted by Lin Xiaoxia, and she was shocked by Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun, and her face became extremely ugly.
She stared at Lin Xiaoxia intently.
“You actually betrayed me?!” Catherine’s voice was sharp and piercing, like nails scratching on glass.
Lin Xiaoxia sneered and pulled out a dagger flashing with cold light from her waist.
The dagger had a peculiar shape and an extremely sharp blade, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary item.
“Betrayal? I never believed you from the beginning.” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was cold and ruthless, completely different from her usual sunny and cheerful self.
“My mission is to stop you from using the Sands of Time, not to become your accomplice.”
After saying that, Lin Xiaoxia moved and appeared beside Catherine like a ghost.
The dagger in her hand flashed with a cold light, accurately cutting off several data cables connected to Catherine’s body and the chip connection at Chen Hao’s temple.
“puff!”
Two soft sounds rang out almost at the same time, and Catherine’s mechanical body suddenly stopped working. Chen Hao also suddenly fell to his knees, gasping violently.
“You…” Catherine widened her eyes, as if she couldn’t believe that she would be defeated so easily by Lin Xiaoxia.
Lin Xiaoxia put away the dagger, without even looking at Catherine, and turned to look at Chen Hao.
“Chen Hao, are you okay?”
Chen Hao shook his head and struggled to stand up.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the blue and red light in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a clear mind.
“It’s okay, thanks to you.” Chen Hao’s voice was a little weak, but full of gratitude.
“Now is not the time to be polite.” Lin Xiaoxia pointed to the core of the Sand of Time floating in the center of the space-time rift and said in a deep voice, “We must stop Catherine, otherwise it will be too late.”
Lin Xiaobei looked at the scenes before him, feeling filled with emotion.
Isn’t this plot twist too fast?
It’s even more exciting than a roller coaster!
However, now is not the time to feel sentimental.
He took a deep breath, mobilized the energy in his body, and prepared to summon his trump card.
“Since you guys are serious about this, I can’t hide it anymore.” Lin Xiaobei’s lips curled up slightly, with a sly light flashing in his eyes, “It’s time to show you what a real player is!”
Just as Lin Xiaobei was about to show off his skills, he suddenly felt a powerful energy wave coming from deep in the space-time rift.
The energy fluctuations were so powerful that they seemed to be able to tear apart space and shatter everything.
Then, a cold voice echoed throughout the space.
“The game… is over…”
Who owns the voice?
Is he Catherine’s accomplice?
Or is he the mastermind behind the Space-Time Administration?
Or maybe…
Lin Xiaobei’s heart was full of doubts.
He vaguely felt that what was going to happen next would be far beyond his imagination.
He summoned Ningguang and Tie at the same time, preparing to use the “Time and Space Anchor” skill…
However, just as he was about to release the skill, his movements suddenly stopped.
Because he saw a complex expression on Lin Xiaoxia’s face that he had never seen before… “Condensing the light, bond, binary star resonance – space-time anchor point!” Lin Xiaobei shouted loudly, as if his middle school soul was burning.
Two cards shining with golden light flew out from his hands and transformed into two streams of light, intersecting and merging in the air.
Ningguang, dressed in an elegant cheongsam, looks graceful and elegant. She raises her jade hand lightly, surrounded by stars.
The two bound captains are wearing armor, looking heroic, with the shadow of the Starry Sky Train looming behind them.
The two of them attacked at the same time, as if they had the power of the stars in the universe under their control.
“Buzz——”
A bright beam of light dropped from the sky and hit the space-time rift created by Catherine.
The crack was originally expanding wildly, swallowing up everything around it, but under the illumination of the light column, it actually began to collapse in the opposite direction, as if time was flowing backwards.
“No! This is impossible!” Catherine let out a sharp scream, and her mechanical body trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
Her delicate face was now distorted even more hideously, like a ghost.
“My plan…my container…!” Catherine screamed hysterically.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxia suddenly raised the agent dagger in his hand and pointed it at his own temple.
“Xiaobei, use the Sands of Time to absorb my memories…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice trembled, but her eyes were extremely firm, “The ultimate plan of the Space-Time Administration… is all in it…”
Lin Xiaobei was stunned. He didn’t expect that Lin Xiaoxia would make such a choice.
“Xiao Xia, you…”
Before Lin Xiaobei could finish his words, Lin Xiaoxia interrupted him.
“Hurry! There’s no time!” Lin Xiaoxia said hurriedly and resolutely, “Catherine…she’s just a cover…the real container…”
“Impossible! The Star Dome Railway itself is the container…!” Catherine turned into a distorted data stream, screaming as if she wanted to tear the entire space apart.
At the moment Catherine screamed, Chen Hao’s figure flashed by like lightning.
The chainsaw gun in his hand, with blue and red flames, pierced Catherine’s data core fiercely.
“Ahhhhh——!” Catherine let out a shrill scream, and the data stream quickly dissipated like a punctured balloon.
At the moment Catherine disappeared, Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt a powerful suction coming from the depths of the space-time rift.
He looked down and found that the contract card backpack on his body was being swallowed by a dark black hole!
“What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei was horrified. He wanted to grab the backpack, but he was powerless.
The backpack was sucked into the black hole faster and faster, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
“My card…my wife…is gone?!” Lin Xiaobei wailed, feeling that his life had lost its meaning.
That was the money he saved up after playing through countless copies!
Watching the backpack containing my wife’s contract card being sucked into the vortex of time and space was more painful than cutting flesh!
The moment the contract card backpack fell into the vortex of time and space, a hand grabbed Lin Xiaobei’s wrist like a pair of pliers.
Lin Xiaobei turned around and saw that it was Chen Hao.
This guy is usually careless, but he is quite reliable at critical moments!
“Don’t follow…the truth is in my captain’s log!” Chen Hao’s voice was low and rapid, as if something was strangling his throat.
What was even more strange was that his pupils were actually flashing blue and gold, like two gems spinning wildly, which made Lin Xiaobei’s scalp tingle.
Could it be that this kid has been possessed by a star core hunter?
Before Lin Xiaobei had time to think about it, an irresistible suction force pulled him into the vortex of time and space.
He felt like he had fallen into a giant washing machine, the world was spinning around him, and his internal organs were all tangled up in a mess.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast torrent of data.
Countless data fragments fell like snowflakes, flashing colorful lights.
This scene is simply cooler than any two-dimensional game he has ever played!
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei.
Catherine, the pilot of the Star Train, had a strange smile on her face at this moment.
“Welcome to the Administration’s “Starry Sky Railway” copy – the real BOSS is your contract card!” Catherine’s voice was still sweet, but there was a chill in her tone.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt a chill on his back.
What?
His wives actually became bosses?
This script is wrong!
At this moment, a silver light shot out from the data crack and condensed into a shadow of bondage.
She still looked arrogant and sharp-tongued, but her eyes were full of anxiety.
“Use my captain’s authority code!” Bind’s voice was as clear as ice crystal, but it carried an unquestionable command.
Although Lin Xiaobei was confused, he still did it subconsciously.
He called up the system interface and entered “Starfall·Bai Di”.
At this moment, Chen Hao’s consciousness suddenly intervened, and his voice exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind: “The last coordinate… is the basement of Qun Yu Pavilion!”
Qun Yu Pavilion?
Isn’t that the iconic building of Liyue Harbor?
Why are we talking about Genshin Impact again?
Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain was about to explode.
What the hell is going on!
Before he had time to sort out his thoughts, he felt the torrent of data in front of him begin to shake violently.
Catherine’s holographic projection also began to flicker, as if it would collapse at any time.
“No! Impossible! You can’t possibly know…” Catherine’s voice was filled with horror and despair.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the plot lines in the final chapter of “Star Railway”.
He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: “Even the fate of destruction is not unchangeable!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Catherine’s data projection instantly shattered and turned into countless data fragments that dissipated in the air.
Before Lin Xiaobei had time to celebrate, he suddenly heard a loud “bang”.
Lin Xiaoxia’s gunshots rang in my ears…
“Leave quickly… The mastermind is about to start resetting the world line—”
“Xiaobei! Grab my hand!”
Chapter 7: Memory Maze, Captain’s Choice (Old Version)
“Do you think the first-generation captain would be willing to be a container?!” Catherine’s data wreckage twisted and stretched, and metal fragments poured down like a rainstorm, rapidly reorganizing in the air, and actually condensed into a miniature version of the Star Dome Railway train!
The muzzle of the mini train gun flashed dangerously, like a steel behemoth ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
An indescribable feeling of oppression instantly enveloped the entire space, and the air seemed to solidify.
Chen Hao’s mechanical prosthetic eye flashed with a cold light, the chip on the back of his neck made a shrill buzzing sound, and the circuits under his skin squirmed like a reptile.
“Want to use my memory against me? Unfortunately, I’m no longer the captain of Star Dome Railway!” He tore open the chip on the back of his neck. Blood splattered, but the wound was surging with blue-white energy light, as dazzling as a small star core.
“Feel the full power energy of the Starry Sky Train!” Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun hummed, and the blue and white aurora burst out, like a sharp blade tearing through space, and slashed fiercely at the mini Starry Sky Train.
boom–!!
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire memory maze, and the shock wave shattered the surrounding data fragments.
The mini train was split in half, sparks flew, and the wreckage fell like a kite with a broken string.
Lin Xiaoxia couldn’t help but gasp when she witnessed this thrilling scene.
She knew very well that the full power of the Star Train was terrifying, enough to destroy a small city, but Chen Hao actually compressed this power into the chainsaw gun. What a powerful control it required!
She suddenly realized that she had underestimated the true strength of this seemingly careless man.
“Look at memory file No. 007 – you are the traitor who was expelled!” Lin Xiaoxia suddenly inserted an agent key into the main brain interface, and the azure data stream poured down like a waterfall, interweaving into dynamic images in the air.
In the video, a man in black uniform is standing in the main control room of the Star Dome Railway train. His back is strikingly similar to Chen Hao, but his eyes are full of determination and sadness.
The man pressed a red button, and then the entire fleet was engulfed in flames…
“No… this is not true…” The image of the annihilation of the Star Fleet flashed across Chen Hao’s mechanical prosthetic eye. He covered his head in pain, and fragments of memory surged in like a tide, impacting his sanity.
He vaguely remembered that he was once the captain of the Star Dome Railway, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the galaxy. However, a sudden incident changed everything…
Lin Xiaoxia continued to operate the agent key and call up more data files.
These files reveal a shocking secret: the real traitor is not Chen Hao, but someone else!
Chen Hao became the scapegoat of this conspiracy, his memory was wiped out, and he wandered in various dimensional worlds…
At this moment, a golden light shot out from Lin Xiaobei’s contract card backpack and condensed into a physical figure.
This is the bond, the guy who has always existed as a system prompt sound!
“The White Emperor Rebellion was fake, the real traitor was Catherine… She stole the core of the Sands of Time!” The voice of Bond echoed in the memory maze like a huge bell, and every word struck everyone’s heart like a heavy hammer.
“Catherine…the first captain?!” Chen Hao widened his eyes in disbelief. He couldn’t accept this fact.
In his heart, Catherine has always been a symbol of gentleness and kindness and the guardian of the Star Train. How could she be a traitor?
“Space-Time Administration…all of this is your conspiracy!” Lin Xiaoxia pointed at the main brain interface angrily. She finally realized that she had been kept in the dark and was being used!
“Haha, it seems you already know the truth…” A cold voice came from the main brain, “Then, let me put an end to it all…”
Lin Xiaobei looked at everything happening in front of him and felt like his brain was about to explode.
Catherine is a traitor?
A conspiracy of the Space-Time Administration?
The Sands of Time Core?
These pieces of information flew around in his mind like fragments, making him feel extremely confused and uneasy.
He subconsciously touched his contract card backpack, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something engraved on the inside… “What…what is this?”
In the space of the memory maze, the data flow flickered and jumped like a turbulent electric current, reflecting on Lin Xiaobei’s doubtful face.
He stroked the inside of the contract card backpack with his fingers, and felt a rough touch on his fingertips.
There, a string of numbers was clearly engraved – it was the number of the Starry Sky Railway train, and it was exactly the same as the number that flashed in the depths of Chen Hao’s mechanical eye!
Damn it!
What the hell is this?
Lin Xiaobei’s brain was buzzing, as if there were ten thousand hillbillies partying and dancing.
He subconsciously looked at Chen Hao, only to find that the other party was holding a chainsaw gun against his temple, with the muzzle flashing a cold blue light, which made him shudder.
“In my consciousness… there is the ultimate key to the main brain…” Chen Hao’s voice was low and hoarse, like a whisper from hell, “but it will disappear along with my memory…”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly.
The ultimate key?
Memory loss?
What the hell is this!
This plot development is so exciting, even more exciting than when he got the wrong result while playing Honkai Impact 3!
At the same time, Lin Xiaoxia’s expression became extremely solemn.
Without hesitation, she turned her pistol towards herself, put the muzzle to her temple, and her eyes were terrifyingly determined.
“Synchronize with my memory! Copy the key into my chip!” Her voice was sonorous and powerful, with a determination to face death.
“Xiao Xia! Are you crazy?!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed and wanted to stop her, but found that he could not move at all.
Lin Xiaoxia ignored Lin Xiaobei’s shouts, her finger had already pulled the trigger.
At the critical moment, a golden light flashed, and a bound figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xiaoxia and grabbed her wrist.
“Wait! Now is not the time yet!” The bond’s voice was hurried and anxious, “The main body of the Star Railway is falling… Go and catch the wreckage of the train–!”
Before he finished speaking, the entire data space shook violently, as if an earthquake had hit.
A vortex of space and time appeared out of nowhere, madly devouring everything around it, and data streams rushed into the vortex as if being sucked by a giant beast.
“Oh my god! What is going on?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like he was on a roller coaster, the world was spinning around and his internal organs were about to be thrown out.
A dazzling white light flashed, and Lin Xiaobei felt himself being thrown out by a huge force, with whistling wind and deafening explosions coming to his ears.
He tried hard to open his eyes, but all he saw was a flash of fire and flying metal fragments.
The wreckage of the Star Dome Railway fell from the sky like a meteorite rain, smashing into the ground, stirring up dust and flames.
The earth was shaking, the sky was burning, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into a doomsday scene.
“Chen Hao! Xiao Xia!” Lin Xiaobei shouted at the top of his lungs, but got no response.
His heart sank to the bottom and a deep feeling of despair surged in his heart.
Suddenly, his attention was drawn to a huge piece of metal wreckage.
The wreckage had a strange shape, like a huge cockpit. A familiar figure could be vaguely seen in the blazing fire…
“That is…” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
In the cockpit of the crashed train, a figure was busy. He pieced together pieces of Rock King armor and connected them to a device that was flashing with strange light… That device looked a lot like… a reactor!
“Walter…” Lin Xiaobei murmured to himself, his heart full of confusion and shock.
“What are you doing……”
Chapter 8 Final Train, Two Stars Return (Old Version)
Thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, and the air was filled with a burnt smell, very much like burnt sweet flower-stuffed chicken.
Lin Xiaobei stumbled to the huge piece of metal wreckage, his lungs aching, as if all he was breathing in was dust and despair.
The cockpit was twisted and deformed, as if it had been squeezed by an invisible giant hand, but miraculously, it had not completely fallen apart.
Walter, the engineer of the Qun Yu Pavilion who usually looked calm, was now fiddling with a pile of Hill King armor like a madman, sweating profusely.
Those heavy armor plates seemed to become Lego blocks in his hands. He pieced them together piece by piece and connected them to a device that flashed with strange light.
The core of the device is a strange crystal that beats with elemental power and emits a heart-like light.
“Walter, you…what are you doing?!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was hoarse, as if he had crawled out of hell.
Walter didn’t even raise his head. His hands kept moving while he muttered incoherently: “Quick… put the elemental core of Teyvat… in! Quick!”
“Element core? What is that?” Lin Xiaobei was confused, but he instinctively felt that Walter was doing something extremely crazy.
At this time, Chen Hao also crawled out of a pile of ruins. He was covered in dust and his iconic chainsaw gun was flashing with unstable light. The energy fluctuations were so violent that it seemed like it would explode at any time.
“Fuck, this thing is going to explode!” Chen Hao exclaimed and quickly threw away the chainsaw gun.
“Don’t throw it!” Walter suddenly yelled, “Connect your chainsaw gun… to the reactor!”
Although Chen Hao was full of doubts, he still did as he was told.
The moment the chainsaw gun was connected to the strange “reactor”, the entire cockpit lit up, and a powerful energy wave swept out, as if to devour everything.
Suddenly, a figure stepped out from the shadow of the cockpit.
It’s a bond, the captain of the Star Dome Railway whose identity is a mystery.
Her face was solemn, with complex lights flashing in her eyes.
She walked to the console without saying a word and pulled off the captain’s badge on her chest.
The badge glowed brightly, like a miniature star.
“Use my authority… to activate the train core…” Bond’s voice was low and hoarse, “But the price is…”
Before she finished her words, the central holographic screen in the cockpit suddenly lit up, showing an old photo.
The two people in the photo, one is Keban, and the other… is actually Catherine!
The receptionist who works diligently in the Star Train, oh no, in every space station!
“We…were the same captain…” The bond’s voice trembled, as if hiding great pain and secrets.
Just then, Lin Xiaoxia also appeared.
The agent chip in her body suddenly began to frantically absorb the energy emitted from Catherine’s wreckage, emitting a dazzling light.
“The first rule of the Administration…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice became mechanical and cold, “is… to protect the holder of the system!”
As soon as she finished speaking, her uniform instantly changed into an old Star Dome Railway uniform, exactly the same as Catherine’s uniform in the photo!
Walter looked at this scene and suddenly laughed out loud: “Hahaha… This is called… cross-world linkage!”
He pointed at the “reactor” made of pieces of Hill Culvert armor and said in a crazy tone: “The heart of the Star Train… has restarted!”
Jibin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision.
She slowly stretched out her hand and pointed at the glowing core of the train…
“Wait!” Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, “What… are you going to do?!”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart was pounding, and a strong sense of foreboding ran through his body like an electric current.
He didn’t have time to think and instinctively shouted, “Don’t mess around! This thing might blow us all up!” But his voice was drowned out by the roar of the engine and the hum of energy.
The bound fingers were only one centimeter away from the core of the train, and her expression was determined, as if she was about to die.
Chen Hao had a confused look on his face, still holding the chainsaw gun with abnormal energy fluctuations in his hand, looking at a loss.
“Let’s fight!” Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth and took out two cards from his arms. They were the contract cards of Chen Hao and the bond.
He didn’t know what would happen if he did this, but this was his last hope.
He suddenly inserted the two cards into the card slots of the console. The cockpit suddenly became brightly lit, and a familiar engine roar resounded through the sky.
“Double star resonance, time sand returns to its position!” A mechanical synthesized voice echoed in the cockpit, as if announcing the beginning of some kind of ceremony.
Two rays of light shot towards Chen Hao and Jieban respectively. Their bodies were covered by the light and their clothes began to change, eventually turning into the uniform of the captain of the Starry Sky Train.
The nonchalant air about Chen Hao disappeared, replaced by a sense of calmness and majesty.
The chainsaw gun in his hand also changed. The gun body became smoother, the energy was more stable, and it exuded a heart-pounding pressure.
The captain’s uniform on her body emitted a dazzling light, which reflected the light on Chen Hao’s body, like two shining stars.
“This…what is going on?” Chen Hao touched his uniform, looking incredulous.
“Both captains… are online at the same time?” Jihan muttered to himself.
At the same time, Walter had “welded” himself into the reactor.
He used a robotic arm to secure himself to the core of the reactor and frantically operated the control panel.
“Hurry up and start the paradox program… My mechanical heart can serve as a stabilizer!” There was a hint of madness and determination in Walter’s tone.
He seemed to have disregarded his own life and death and was only concerned with completing this crazy plan.
His mechanical arm began to emit a dazzling light, and then scattered like starlight and merged into the core of the reactor.
“Walter!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed, trying to stop him, but it was too late.
The entire cockpit began to shake violently, and the energy fluctuations became more and more intense, as if it would explode at any time.
Suddenly, a huge holographic projection appeared in the center of the cockpit.
She was a woman in a black uniform. There was no expression on her face and her eyes were cold and ruthless.
“The Mastermind of the Space-Time Administration?” Jiban recognized the woman’s identity at a glance.
“You win… but all world lines will be reset—” The voice of the main brain was cold and mechanical, as if it had no emotions at all.
At this moment, Chen Hao suddenly moved.
The chainsaw gun in his hand turned into a flash of lightning and stabbed fiercely at the projection of the main brain core.
“Fuck your reset!” Chen Hao roared, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.
At the moment when the chainsaw gun pierced into the core of the main brain, Lin Xiaobei suddenly found that a picture flashed on the contract card in his hand.
It was a little girl with two pigtails and wearing a floral dress. She was looking at the world curiously with her big eyes.
Is that…Lin Xiaoxia?
The picture flashed by and froze on the collapsed main brain core.
“Xiao…Xiaoxia…” Lin Xiaobei murmured to himself, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
“Wait… what is that…” Bind pointed at the flickering light of the contract card, his voice trembling.
Chapter 9: Contract Remnant, Bloody Bond (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei’s brain was buzzing as he stared at the young face on the contract card.
The little girl’s face was full of curiosity about the world, but then the scene changed, and a cold mechanical arm reached out to her, and a chip flashing with a faint light was ruthlessly implanted into her temple.
“That is… the memory backup of the first-generation system owner…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice trembled a little. She raised her hand suddenly and pulled off the mechanical earring that she had been wearing on her left ear.
The silver earrings flashed a cold light in the air, fell to the ground, and broke into pieces, revealing the sophisticated circuit hidden underneath.
The air seemed to freeze and time slowed down.
“You finally admit it, Xiao Xia?” Catherine’s holographic projection emerged again from the cracks in the collapsed main brain core with a disgusting electronic noise.
A playful smile appeared on her delicate yet cold face.
She stretched out her mechanical finger and drew a complicated symbol in the air. Then, a bright red number appeared in front of Lin Xiaoxia.
“001.”
This number was like a blockbuster bomb, instantly setting off everyone’s nerves.
“This…how is this possible?” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaoxia in disbelief.
He had always thought that Lin Xiaoxia was just an ordinary intern at a technology company, who was a little smart at best, but he didn’t expect that she actually had such an identity!
Chen Hao’s expression was even more shocked than Lin Xiaobei’s.
He stared at the number “001” and the muscles on his face were twisted with extreme anger.
“Captain’s log… Page 444…” Chen Hao’s voice was terribly low, as if it came from the depths of hell.
“…The White Emperor’s Rebellion…The mastermind behind it…”
As he spoke, Chen Hao violently tore off the prosthesis on his right arm.
The sound of metal separating from flesh was horrifying, revealing an equally bright red number imprint underneath – “001”.
“Fuck! The plot twist came so fast like a tornado!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but swear.
This is too much information!
What is the first generation system holder, what is the White Emperor Rebellion, what is the mastermind behind the scenes… How many secrets are hidden behind this?
Lin Xiaoxia’s face was as pale as a piece of paper. She leaned against the wall weakly.
“I… I don’t know…” She murmured, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.
“I know nothing…”
“Stop pretending, Xiaoxia.” Catherine’s voice was full of sarcasm.
“The genes of the Authority flow in your blood, and the will of the Authority is imprinted deep in your soul. You will never be able to get rid of this identity.”
“Bullshit!” Chen Hao roared, and the chainsaw gun in his hand burst out with blue and white energy.
“I don’t believe in those bullshit genes and willpower! I only believe in my own eyes!”
He raised his chainsaw gun and attacked Catherine’s holographic projection again.
Blue arcs of electricity jumped in the air, tearing the surrounding space.
However, Catherine just smiled coldly and disappeared into the core crack again.
“It’s useless.” Her voice echoed throughout the space.
“Your time is running out. The core of the Sands of Time is about to collapse, and all world lines will be reset. Everything you have done will be lost.”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank to the bottom.
He knew what Catherine said was true.
If they cannot prevent the core collapse of the Sands of Time, then all their efforts will be in vain, and even their existence will disappear from this world.
“I must find a way…” Lin Xiaobei’s brain was working rapidly.
He tried hard to recall the information he had previously obtained, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
“The Star Train… The Star Train is the only hope…” he muttered to himself.
Only by restarting the Star Train can the core collapse of the Sands of Time be prevented.
But how to restart the Star Train?
Suddenly, Lin Xiaobei thought of something, raised his head abruptly and looked at Chen Hao.
“Chen Hao! Do you still remember the password of the Starry Sky Train’s driving log?” he asked anxiously.
Chen Hao’s body shook slightly. He seemed to be trying hard to recall something, but his mind was blank.
“I… I can’t remember…” He shook his head painfully.
“My memory has been blocked by the brainwashing program…”
“Damn it!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but curse. Is there really no other way?
At this moment, he suddenly felt a burning sensation coming from the contract card in his hand.
He looked down and found that the contract card was flashing violently.
“Wait…what is that…” Bind pointed at the contract card, his voice trembling.
Lin Xiaobei followed his gaze and saw lines of mysterious words appearing on the surface of the contract card.
Those words seemed like ancient spells, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
“This is…” Lin Xiaobei’s eyes widened. “Is this the source code of the Star Train?”
Before he could finish, Jihan suddenly snatched the contract card from his hand and rushed towards the core interface.
Jijian’s face, which usually looked a little lazy, was now full of determination.
He rushed towards the core of the Sands of Time like an arrow shot from a bow, with the determination to die, and fiercely inserted the contract card in his hand into the core interface.
“Starting the binary resonance requires sacrificing my authority… but at least it can delay the resetting of the world line!” Bind’s voice was hoarse, with a hint of reluctance.
Lin Xiaobei felt like his heart was about to jump out.
He watched helplessly as the bound body began to become transparent, as if it would dissipate into the air at any moment.
The contract card was like a greedy black hole, madly devouring the power of bondage.
“No!” Lin Xiaobei wanted to stop it, but found that he couldn’t get close to that area at all.
An invisible force blocked him outside, forcing him to watch helplessly as the bond disappeared.
Suddenly, the entire space began to shake violently.
The core of the Sand of Time let out an ear-piercing scream, like a beast cornered.
Then, the holographic screen shattered like glass hit by a heavy hammer, and countless fragments flew everywhere.
Instead, there is a vast and boundless starry sky.
Countless stars sparkle with dazzling light, forming a magnificent star map.
Star trains of various shapes are suspended in the starry sky, exuding an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
That is the holographic projection of the Star Fleet!
“What the hell, what’s going on?” Lin Xiaobei was stunned by the scene before him.
He felt as if he was at the center of the universe, feeling the rhythm of the stars.
However, before he could come to his senses, Lin Xiaoxia suddenly raised the gun in his hand and pointed it in Catherine’s direction.
“Use my memory to synchronize the core!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was cold and firm, as if she had become a different person.
Only then did Lin Xiaobei notice that there was a golden light flashing in Lin Xiaoxia’s eyes, like a sophisticated program interface covering her pupils.
“The main brain is reading my memory backup–” Lin Xiaoxia’s body trembled slightly, as if she was in great pain.
“Xiao Xia, what are you going to do?” Lin Xiaobei asked anxiously.
He vaguely felt that Lin Xiaoxia was doing something very dangerous.
Catherine’s face turned extremely ugly.
She didn’t seem to expect that Lin Xiaoxia would make such a choice.
“Are you crazy? You actually betrayed the Administration for these ants?” Catherine’s voice was filled with anger and unwillingness.
However, Lin Xiaoxia ignored her and just silently endured the pain brought by the memory backup.
Her body became more and more transparent, as if she would disappear at any moment.
At this moment, the core of the Sands of Time suddenly began to rotate in the opposite direction.
A powerful energy wave burst out from the core, instantly sweeping across the entire space.
“Not good!” Lin Xiaobei realized the danger and wanted to leave with the contract card backpack, but found that his body seemed to be nailed to the ground and he could not move at all.
“I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die!” Lin Xiaobei screamed madly in his heart.
He felt as if he was in a huge whirlpool and could be torn to pieces at any time.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and deep cracks like the abyss appeared under Lin Xiaobei’s feet.
Black shadows poured out from the cracks, as if to swallow up the entire world.
“Ah——!” Catherine let out a shrill scream, and her holographic projection began to distort, as if it was about to collapse at any time.
At this moment, a melodious whistle suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the space.
The voice was ancient and mysterious, carrying a glimmer of hope.
Lin Xiaobei felt his body lighten, as if he had broken free from a heavy shackle.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
However, all he saw was endless darkness.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Lin Xiaobei opened his eyes with difficulty and found himself lying in ruins.
He struggled to sit up and looked around.
The surroundings were in a mess, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, as if it had been through a terrible war.
“Where is this?” Lin Xiaobei asked blankly.
He had no recollection of what had happened, only that he seemed to be caught in a huge whirlpool.
“Are you awake?” A familiar voice sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s ears.
Lin Xiaobei turned his head and saw Chen Hao standing not far away, holding the iconic chainsaw gun in his hand.
“Chen Hao? Where are we? What happened?” Lin Xiaobei asked anxiously.
Chen Hao’s expression was a little strange. He did not answer Lin Xiaobei’s question, but just walked silently to Lin Xiaobei’s side and helped him up.
“Captain…” Chen Hao’s voice was low and hoarse, as if he was suppressing some strong emotion.
Lin Xiaobei became even more confused.
He didn’t know why Chen Hao spoke to him in that tone, nor did he know who the “Captain” he was referring to was.
At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly came, attracting Lin Xiaobei’s attention.
He turned his head and saw Bond standing not far away, holding an exquisite baton in his hand.
The baton was inlaid with a gleaming gem, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
“Captain…” Bond said in the same tone.
Lin Xiaobei was completely confused.
He didn’t know why Chen Hao and Jiechan called him “Captain” at the same time, nor did he know what they were up to.
Suddenly, the chainsaw gun in Chen Hao’s hand and the baton in Jie’s hand burst out with dazzling golden light at the same time, illuminating the entire space.
Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun and the bound baton burst into golden light at the same time: “Captain…”
Dear friends, please move your hands and ask for flowers, collections, and rewards. I hope everyone will be happy and the God of Wealth will come to you.
Chapter 10: Twin Stars Against the Current, Captain Awakens (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei’s computer completely crashed.
“Captain… Captain… What is going on? I’m just an ordinary dungeon player, not some Starry Sky train conductor who walked into the wrong set!” Lin Xiaobei complained crazily in his heart, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
However, reality did not allow him to continue to be confused.
The golden light that burst out from Chen Hao and Jiechan was like two small suns, stinging his eyes.
He subconsciously raised his hand to cover it, but through his fingers he saw that the chainsaw gun in Chen Hao’s hand and the baton in Jihan’s hand were converging in a mysterious trajectory.
“Captain, this time I choose to believe you!” Chen Hao’s voice was like the friction of metal, with a sense of determination.
Bond followed closely behind, and his cold voice became more firm: “Please give the order, Captain!”
Lin Xiaobei felt as if he was being roasted on a fire. The eyes of these two people were full of trust and expectation, but the problem was that he knew nothing!
“Wait, wait a minute! Let me take it easy first…” Lin Xiaobei tried to stop them, but it was too late.
Chen Hao and Jieban performed the same movements, as if they had rehearsed them countless times.
They took a step forward at the same time, swinging their chainsaw guns and batons alternately, drawing two golden arcs in the air.
“The Final Chapter of Starry Sky!” The two roared in unison, the sound was deafening.
Lin Xiaobei only felt a powerful energy wave coming towards him, making it hard for him to breathe.
He watched as two golden arcs converged in the air to form a huge golden vortex. The center of the vortex seemed to be connected to another time and space, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.
“Wow! This special effect, this scene… is even more exciting than when I was playing games!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but exclaimed, this is a true epic move!
On the other side, Catherine’s expression finally changed.
The sneer that originally hung on her face, which showed her control of everything, had now disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a deep fear.
“You…you actually…” Catherine’s voice trembled a little, as if she had seen something incredible.
The next second, her body began to disintegrate.
“Crack…Crack…”
Crisp cracking sounds were heard one after another, and the cold metal shell on Catherine’s body fell off piece by piece like a sand castle blown away by the wind, revealing the complex mechanical structure inside.
“You think deleting your memory can prevent the end? How naive!” Catherine’s tone became crazy. She screamed and tore open the armor on her chest with her hands, revealing a mechanical heart embedded with a huge hourglass.
In the hourglass, golden sand flows slowly, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
“The Star Dome Railway’s main body is the final container—” Catherine’s voice was sharp and piercing, like a demon from hell.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed out and pounced on Catherine with lightning speed.
“Xiao Xia! What are you doing?!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed. He never expected that at such a critical moment, Lin Xiaoxia would make such a risky move.
Lin Xiaoxia’s eyes were determined, and without hesitation, she inserted the agent chip in her hand into a port on Catherine’s mechanical heart.
“Synchronized countdown 3 seconds! Xiaobei, hurry up and grab the contract card!” Lin Xiaoxia shouted loudly, and her body began to become transparent, as if it was about to be digitized.
At the same time, she threw the backpack in her hand towards Lin Xiaobei.
Lin Xiaobei subconsciously reached out and caught the backpack thrown by Lin Xiaoxia.
He opened it and saw that inside was the precious bond contract card.
“Xiao Xia! You…” Lin Xiaobei wanted to say something, but it was too late.
Lin Xiaoxia’s body was completely digitized and turned into a stream of light, which was sucked into the hourglass on Catherine’s mechanical heart.
“No–!” Lin Xiaobei roared in despair. He watched Lin Xiaoxia disappear in front of him, but he was powerless to do anything.
The situation on Catherine’s side is not optimistic either.
As Lin Xiaoxia’s agent chip was inserted, her mechanical heart began to vibrate violently, and the golden sand in the hourglass also became violent.
“Ah! Damn it! You bitch!” Catherine howled in pain. Her body began to twist and deform under the violent energy impact.
In the end, Catherine’s mechanical body completely collapsed, turned into a pile of scrap metal, and was swallowed by the golden vortex.
And in the ruins, one could vaguely see some remains of human bodies…
The entire space was in a mess, the energy fluctuations gradually subsided, and only Lin Xiaobei was left standing there alone, holding the contract card in his hand, looking around blankly.
Lin Xiaoxia’s last voice was still echoing in his ears, and her resolute figure appeared before his eyes.
“Xiao Xia… where on earth… have you been?”
At this moment, the bond contract card in his hand suddenly flashed a strange red light…
“Dual Star Authority reset successful…”
Lin Xiaobei’s nerves seemed to be pierced by electricity and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
The bond contract card in his hand suddenly flashed a strange red light, and that light seemed to be telling him some important secret.
“The binary star authority has been reset successfully, but a living memory anchor point is required—” The system’s cold voice echoed in his ears, like the whisper of an ancient god, which made people shudder.
At the same time, Chen Hao’s pupils suddenly split into starry blue and administration gold, and the two interlaced colors of pupils were filled with complex light.
His body was trembling slightly, as if he was going through some drastic change.
Chen Hao closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, the light flickering in his two-colored pupils became even brighter, as if two stars were burning in his eyes.
“Xiaobei, are you ready? We are going to complete the final contact!” Chen Hao’s voice was low and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible majesty.
Lin Xiaobei swallowed and nodded. Although he was filled with uneasiness, he took a deep breath and held the bond contract card tightly in his palm.
The surface of the card felt warm, as if an invisible force was being transmitted through the palm of his hand.
At this moment, Catherine’s mechanical body suddenly exploded into a ball of stardust, and golden fragments flew in the air like gorgeous fireworks.
In the ruins, one could vaguely see a human face similar to Lin Xiaoxia, with a hint of helplessness and despair in the eyes.
“We are the same system holders…” Catherine’s voice was like a whisper in the breeze, low and eerie, as if it was an echo from another time and space.
Her body turned into countless data fragments, slowly drifting in the air, as if being sucked away by some mysterious force.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly, and Lin Xiaoxia’s resolute figure flashed through his mind. That moment of bravery and determination seemed to be engraved in his heart.
He clenched his fists.
“Xiao Xia… where on earth have you been?” His voice echoed in the silent space, as if calling for an answer from afar.
At this moment, dark tentacles suddenly stretched out from the cracks in time and space. Those tentacles were like poisonous snakes of the Abyss Cult, gradually approaching with an evil breath.
Lin Xiaoxia shouted loudly at the last moment before being digitized: “The crack in the abyss… quickly stop the connection between the abyss and the management bureau——”
Her voice echoed in the air like a thunder, causing pain in Lin Xiaobei’s eardrums.
In the last moment before being digitized, Lin Xiaoxia’s body turned into a stream of light and was completely sucked into the hourglass on Catherine’s mechanical heart.
Lin Xiaobei’s eyes widened, his heart was instantly filled with despair, but then turned into incomparable anger.
He tightly grasped the bond contract card in his hand, feeling the warmth and strength conveyed by the card.
“Chen Hao, we can’t let all this go to waste!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was full of firmness and determination. He looked at Chen Hao firmly, with a resolute light flashing in his eyes.
Chen Hao nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: “We only have one chance, we must succeed!”
The two looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
They took a deep breath and aimed their chainsaw guns and batons at the approaching tentacles.
The teeth of the chainsaw gun made a harsh friction sound, and the golden light on the baton became brighter and brighter, as if it was going to illuminate the entire space.
“Lin Xiaobei, are you ready?” Chen Hao’s voice was low and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible majesty.
Lin Xiaobei nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: “Ready!”
The two men took a step forward at the same time, swinging their chainsaw guns and batons alternately, drawing two golden arcs in the air.
Their movements were flawless, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
The two of them roared in unison: “Starry Sky Finale!”
Powerful energy fluctuations gathered in the air, forming a huge golden vortex.
The center of the vortex seemed to be connected to another time and space, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.
Under the pressure of the golden vortex, those dark tentacles turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
At this moment, the bond contract card in Lin Xiaobei’s hand suddenly made a crisp sound, and the red light on the surface of the card gradually faded, replaced by a dazzling golden light.
He clenched the card tightly and felt an unprecedented power surging in his heart.
“Dual star authority reset successful…” The system’s voice sounded again, but this time, Lin Xiaobei’s heart was full of hope and determination.
“We will never let Xiaoxia’s efforts go to waste!” Lin Xiaobei’s eyes were firm, and he took firm steps towards the core of the starry sky that was about to collapse.
“Starry Sky Train, start for the last time!” Chen Hao’s voice was low and powerful, as if announcing the final decisive battle.
The two worked together, transformed the anger and determination in their hearts into powerful force, and launched a final attack on the core of the starry sky that was about to collapse.
Please give me flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you for watching. I wish you all a happy day and a successful system.
Chapter 11 Time Sand Returns to Zero, Abyss Rift (Old Version)
The afterglow of the golden vortex has not yet dissipated, but the wreckage of the Star Train seems to be pulled by some strange force, twisting and entangled like steel vines, and merging with those abyss tentacles!
The wailing of metal and the low roar of the abyss interweave together to form a horrifying symphony of death.
A huge monster rose from the ground. It was half cold machine and half wriggling flesh and blood. It exuded a disgusting stench of rot and burnt smell. It was simply the ultimate stitched monster that even Cthulhu would give a thumbs up when he saw it!
Lin Xiaobei and Chen Hao were so shocked by this sudden change that they took several steps back and almost vomited their leftover food.
“Fuck! What the hell is this!” Chen Hao couldn’t help but swear. He had seen the collapse of star cores and the annihilation of antimatter, but he had never seen something so… so eye-catching!
Lin Xiaoxia’s data stream flickered, as if it would disappear at any time.
“Don’t just stand there! This thing was created by the Abyss Cult using train wreckage and abyss energy. We have to get rid of it quickly!” Although her voice was weak, it was filled with unquestionable determination.
“What should we do? Hit him with our heads?” Although Chen Hao complained, the buzzing sound of the chainsaw gun in his hand became louder and louder, and a dangerous red light flashed on the gun.
Lin Xiaoxia’s data stream suddenly fluctuated violently, like a candle flame swaying in the wind.
“Use my chip as an anchor point to activate the ‘golden privilege’ of the contract card!” She pointed her illusory finger at Lin Xiaobei, “Hurry! I don’t have much time!”
Lin Xiaobei took out all the contract cards without saying a word.
Golden light burst out from the card, like golden lightning, dancing around him.
But he frowned. Golden authority?
What the hell?
How come he doesn’t know that this system has this function?
This crappy system update doesn’t even come with an instruction manual, who’s playing with it?
Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun let out a sharp sound, as if it sensed the energy of the contract card, greedily devouring the surrounding golden light.
Weird dark purple lines appeared on the surface of the gun, which were strikingly similar to the emblem of the Abyss Cult!
“Dual Star Resonance·End Mode!” Chen Hao’s voice was low and hoarse, like a whisper from hell.
A powerful force surged out from the chainsaw gun and poured into his body, making him feel as if he had turned into a god of war.
Lin Xiaoxia’s agent chip suddenly projected a holographic projection, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie with meticulously combed hair appeared in the air. He had a serious expression and a cold tone.
“Warning: The Abyss and the system protocol have generated quantum entanglement – stop the current behavior immediately!”
“Shut up!” Lin Xiaoxia interrupted the man without hesitation. Half of her body began to turn into starlight. “I’ve had enough of you guys who just sit there doing nothing!” She threw the chip at Lin Xiaobei. “Xiaobei, it’s up to you now! Protect this world for me…”
As the last sentence fell, Lin Xiaoxia’s figure completely disappeared, leaving only a twinkling starlight, like the brightest meteor in the night sky.
The man in the holographic projection changed his expression drastically, “Stupid! You will regret it!” His image also disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Lin Xiaobei stared blankly at the chip that was flickering in his hand, and an indescribable grief surged in his heart.
He held the chip tightly, his eyes slightly red.
This girl is really a fool…
Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun has been charged. The dark purple lines on the gun body flicker like breathing, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
“Are you ready?” He looked at Lin Xiaobei.
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and inserted the chip into the card slot.
The system interface suddenly changed, and a golden button appeared in the center of the screen with three big words written on it: Golden Authority!
He glanced at the Ningguang Contract Card in his hand that was shining with golden light…
“Wait…” He suddenly spoke, his voice trembling, “I seem to have suddenly thought of a good idea…”
Lin Xiaobei held the chip that still carried Lin Xiaoxia’s body temperature, looking at the dazzling “Golden Authority” button on the system interface, feeling mixed emotions.
This broken system is usually so stingy, but it can cause some weird things at critical moments.
“Good idea? It’s already this time, what good ideas can you have?” The chainsaw gun in Chen Hao’s hand was already thirsty, and the dark purple lines on the gun were jumping wildly, as if it would explode in the next second.
“Don’t tell me you’re going to use love to influence it!”
Lin Xiaobei ignored him and just stared at the wreckage stitched monster in front of him and those snarling abyss tentacles.
like?
It’s useless!
This thing looks like it deserves a beating!
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement.
Don’t forget, he is an old player of Genshin Impact, and he is familiar with dealing with the Cult of the Abyss!
“Ningguang, activate the mechanism!” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself, and pressed the “golden authority” button without hesitation.
In an instant, golden light gushed out like a volcanic eruption, dyeing the entire space a dazzling golden color.
Those abyss tentacles that were originally so powerful instantly became listless under this powerful energy impact, as if they had met their nemesis.
The wreckage of the Starry Sky Train, which had originally been twisted into a pile of scrap metal, began to reassemble in a strange way under the illumination of the golden light.
Those broken metal structures seemed to be controlled by an invisible giant hand. They were quickly spliced ​​and reshaped, and eventually turned into precise mechanical parts.
“Fuck! Is this… Teyvat’s mechanical technology?!” Chen Hao widened his eyes and looked at the magic-like scene in front of him, his mouth opened so wide that an egg could almost fit in it.
Lin Xiaobei didn’t have time to explain, he was now concentrating on operating these mechanical parts.
In his mind, a map of the abyss was slowly unfolding.
What he needs to do is to use the wreckage of these star trains to replicate a simplified version of the elemental reaction field!
“Superconductivity! Electroconductivity! Arrange it for me!” Lin Xiaobei roared, throwing the contract card in his hand out as if it were free.
Ice element, lightning element, and all kinds of elemental energies bloomed brilliantly like fireworks under his control.
Those abyss apostles who were originally arrogant and domineering were instantly stunned by this sudden elemental bombardment.
They howled in pain, and the abyss energy in their bodies dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, a creepy roar suddenly came from the abyss rift.
A blurry figure appeared and disappeared in the crack. The face could not be seen clearly, but there was only a suffocating feeling of oppression.
“You… are just… testers… of the new system…” The voice was intermittent, like a demon from hell, making people shudder.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart skipped a beat. This voice… why does it sound so much like Catherine?
Could it be that…
Before he could figure it out, the space-time system suddenly issued a shrill alarm.
“Warning! Warning! The Abyss Cult has been detected invading the instance! Forced teleportation is about to begin!”
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, a powerful force sucked him, Chen Hao, and the wreckage of the Star Train into the abyss.
Everything went dark before his eyes, and Lin Xiaobei felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. The surroundings were filled with suffocating darkness and sickening stench.
At the last moment before he lost consciousness, he saw a line of blood-red words appearing on the contract card backpack:
“Abyss Cult Invasion Dungeon: Layered Abyss”
Then, he heard an angry roar coming from deep underground, resounding throughout the space like thunder.
“Who… dares… to disturb my sleep…”
The owner of the voice seemed to be some extremely ancient and powerful being.
Lin Xiaobei completely lost consciousness.
(The screen falls into darkness)
The moment he fell into the crack of the abyss, Lin Xiaobei’s contract card backpack suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light.
A card automatically flew out of the backpack and hovered beside him.
That is… Ningguang’s contract card.
Please give me flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you all. I wish everyone a good system.
Chapter 12: The Suspicion of the Contract in the Abyss Rift (Old Version)
“Warning! Warning! The Abyss Cult has been detected invading the dungeon! Forced teleportation is about to begin!” The mechanical system sound exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s ears. Before he could complain about the sudden forced update of the dungeon, a suction force pulled him into the abyss crack.
The feeling of weightlessness is a hundred times more thrilling than riding a roller coaster. My stomach is churning and the whistling wind in my ears sounds like the howling of evil spirits.
Lin Xiaobei felt like a dirty sock thrown into a washing machine, being ruthlessly rolled and rubbed.
Just as he was about to shout out the classic line “Mom, I want to go home”, a faint fragrance penetrated his nose, and then a soft but strong hand grabbed his arm.
The world stopped spinning, Lin Xiaobei opened his eyes, and was almost blinded by the light – the glittering golden clothes, the elegant and graceful posture, who else could it be but Ningguang?
“The system holder has trespassed into the Layered Rock Abyss. Does he know the Seven Star Law?” Ningguang’s voice was as clear and cold as a mountain spring, with a hint of the majesty of a superior.
She gently waved a folding fan in one hand and supported Lin Xiaobei with the other, as if she was supporting an old lady who was unable to stand steadily.
Before Lin Xiaobei could explain, the ground shook violently and a foul odor hit his face, as if a pair of stinky socks that hadn’t been washed for a hundred years had turned into a spirit.
A huge tentacle broke out of the ground, its surface shining with metallic luster, and it was actually engraved with the gear patterns of the Starry Sky Train!
“What the hell?” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed.
Chen Hao, who was standing by, had his mechanical eye flashing with a faint blue light. He said solemnly, “That is the remnant of Catherine’s data! The Apostle of the Abyss has merged with the wreckage of the Star Train!”
Lin Xiaobei instantly understood the seriousness of the matter.
This is no joke. If this thing were to run into the real world, the scene would be unimaginable. It would be even more terrifying than Godzilla invading the earth!
“Boss Ningguang, don’t worry about the Seven Star Law for now, just beat it up!” Lin Xiaobei took out a bottle of Qiqi’s special paralyzing potion from his backpack, aimed at the tentacles of the Apostle of the Abyss and threw it over.
At the same time, Zhongli’s rock ridge rose from the ground, providing Lin Xiaobei with an excellent springboard.
“Prepare for superconducting reaction!” Lin Xiaobei shouted, leaped to the top of the rock ridge.
Looking down from above, he felt like a peerless master in a martial arts novel, about to perform a shocking ultimate move.
However, just when the potion was about to hit the target, a golden light flashed, and Ningguang’s Yaoguang Sword accurately cut off the potion bottle!
The potion spilled into the air, forming a rainbow that was very beautiful, but it did not cause any harm to the Apostle of the Abyss.
“How dare you use the contract card to cheat?” Ningguang’s voice was cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.
“The order of the Rocky Abyss cannot be destroyed at will!”
Lin Xiaobei: “…”
He felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. How could this be called cheating? This is called tactical coordination!
“Boss Ningguang, please listen to my explanation…” Lin Xiaobei had just opened his mouth when a powerful force suddenly pushed him away.
He saw that Lin Xiaoxia’s data arm suddenly materialized, and an agent dagger flashed with cold light…
Lin Xiaoxia’s data arm suddenly materialized, and a dagger with a cold metallic glow, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, stabbed towards… Ningguang’s attack trajectory with incredible precision!
This sudden change almost made Lin Xiaobei’s jaw drop to the ground.
No, what’s going on?
The script is wrong!
Where is the energetic girl assistant you promised me?
This is definitely a dark plot development!
“Back off! His contract card is linked to a loophole in the administration’s main brain!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was mechanical and cold, completely different from the lively and cheerful girl she usually was.
Her originally loose and casual clothes were instantly replaced by a tight uniform. The black tights outlined her perfect figure, full of power and technology.
On the epaulettes of the uniform, a familiar number was faintly visible – exactly the same as Catherine’s!
Lin Xiaobei was petrified instantly.
Oh shit!
The Space-Time Administration?!
These days, pure love is no longer popular in the two-dimensional world. Spy wars are popular, right?
Ningguang was obviously also shocked by this sudden attack, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her beautiful eyes.
But she was one of the Seven Stars of Liyue after all, and had been through hundreds of battles. She immediately steadied her body, and floated back as lightly as willow catkins, avoiding Lin Xiaoxia’s attack.
“An agent of the Spacetime Administration Bureau?!” Ningguang’s voice was filled with anger. Obviously, she was very unhappy about the feeling of betrayal.
Before Lin Xiaobei could figure out the situation, the Apostle of the Abyss waved its huge tentacles again. This time, green corrosive liquid spurted out from the tips of the tentacles, and a disgusting sour smell filled the air.
“Be careful!” Chen Hao yelled, and the chainsaw gun in his hand buzzed and sparks flew.
He rushed to Lin Xiaobei and Ningguang, waving his chainsaw gun, trying to block the corrosive liquid.
However, the moment the teeth of the chainsaw gun came into contact with the tentacles of the abyss, a dazzling blue light burst out, jumping between the two like an electric current.
The chainsaw gun let out a wail as it was overwhelmed, and the blue light in Chen Hao’s mechanical eyes became deeper.
“Damn it! It’s using the wreckage of the Starry Sky Train as an anchor!” Chen Hao’s voice was a little hoarse, as if he was in great pain. “We must stop it, otherwise the entire copy will be contaminated!”
At this moment, a familiar interface suddenly popped up in front of Lin Xiaobei’s eyes – his contract card backpack!
The originally gray card suddenly became bright, and a golden card shone with dazzling light.
Below the card, a line of text slowly emerged:
Lin Xiaobei’s mind went blank.
Golden privilege?
Is it a benefit given by VIP upgrade?
Before he could figure out the situation, the sky suddenly darkened, and a suffocating pressure enveloped the entire abyss crack.
A purple light tore through the sky, and a majestic figure slowly descended.
She was dressed in gorgeous purple armor, holding a long sword flashing with lightning, and her eyes were cold and sharp, as if she could see through all illusions.
“System holder, accept Inazuma’s trial!” General Lei Dian’s voice exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s ears like thunder, making his eardrums hurt.
A huge bolt of lightning, carrying the power to destroy everything, fell from the sky and struck Lin Xiaobei, Ningguang and Lin Xiaoxia!
At the moment of crisis, Lin Xiaobei’s brain went blank.
The only thing he could do was to close his eyes tightly and wait for the judgment of fate.
However, just as the thunder was about to hit them, a creepy laugh suddenly came from the depths of the abyss crack.
The sound was sharp and piercing, like the friction of metal, full of malice and ridicule.
“Hahahaha…what a wonderful show…”
The picture froze instantly.
Lightning exploded, and purple arcs of electricity raged in the air like countless poisonous snakes.
In the thunderstorm-shrouded Inazuma Castle, the shadow of General Raiden cast a battle order:
Please give me flowers, applause and collection. Thank you for your support. I wish you all have a God of Wealth system!
Chapter 13: Lightning Trial, Data Puzzle (Old Version)
“Create seven elemental reactions in the thunderstorm. Those who fail will be killed immediately!” The voice of General Thunder was even more shocking than the crackling thunder. It made Lin Xiaobei’s eardrums buzz and he almost died on the spot.
Seven?
What kind of joke is this?
The sky over Inazuma is like a colander, with thunder everywhere. What else can they do besides electrocution?
He felt his hair stand on end. It was even more exciting than the Super Saiyan transformation.
Fortunately, he is not fighting alone.
Ningguang, the Tianquan Star of the Liyue Seven Stars, was standing next to him at this moment, as elegant as if she was at a tea party instead of this Shura field with thunder and lightning.
And there is Lin Xiaoxia. This girl usually looks confused, but now she is unexpectedly calm. The special pistol in her hand emits a cold light, and it is obvious that it is not a product of Earth’s technology.
“Qiqi, it’s your turn to perform!” Lin Xiaobei said silently in his heart and summoned the little zombie loli who always exuded coldness.
Qiqi blinked her big watery eyes, looking confused: “…Would you like some coconut milk?” Coconut milk?
It’s already this time and you’re still thinking about drinking coconut milk?
Lin Xiaobei was complaining in his heart, but the situation was too critical to allow him to think too much.
He snatched the ice potion from Qiqi’s hand and threw it at the lightning pillar.
“Zila——” With a loud bang, ice and thunder collided, stirring up a white mist. At the same time, a strong electric current spread in the direction where the medicine was splashed.
Done!
Electric shock!
“Let me lend you a helping hand—!” Ningguang shouted softly, and the fan in her hand suddenly flew out, drawing a graceful arc in the air and accurately hitting the direction where the lightning was spreading.
The moment the fan came into contact with lightning, a dazzling light burst out. The originally chaotic electric current seemed to be guided by some force, condensing into a chain flashing with ice-blue light, spreading towards the depths of the abyss crack.
“This is…” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
Ningguang’s fan can actually control the lightning element?
This is so amazing!
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxia’s agent chip suddenly emitted a dazzling red light. Her face changed, and she pointed the gun at her temple, saying in a frighteningly cold tone: “The Administration’s wanted order has been locked… The energy of the contract card is being absorbed by the abyss!”
What’s going on?
Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was not enough.
Administration?
Wanted warrant?
abyss?
These words exploded in his mind like bombs, making it difficult for him to digest them for a while.
“Zizila–” Under Ningguang’s control, the ice lightning electric chain accurately penetrated a huge tentacle hidden in the crack of the abyss.
The surface of the tentacle was covered with black mucus and exuded a disgusting smell. It was obvious that it was not a good thing.
“Roar——” The tentacle was hit and let out a shrill roar, and the entire abyss crack began to tremble.
At this moment, Ningguang’s fan suddenly fell to the ground, and a strange pattern appeared on it, like a map, or a moving train.
“Starry Sky Train…” Ningguang muttered to herself, with a complicated look in her eyes.
“Catherine…is on the Starry Sky Railway!” Lin Xiaobei suddenly had an idea and blurted out.
Lin Xiaoxia put away the gun and looked at Lin Xiaobei with complicated eyes: “It seems that we must cooperate…”
From deep within the crack of the abyss, that creepy laughter rang out again, sharper and more piercing than before, as if mocking their ignorance and weakness.
At the same time, Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun began to vibrate violently, making a buzzing sound, and the runes on the gun body flashed with strange light, as if resonating with some kind of power in the abyss… His mechanical prosthetic eye also began to flash red light…
The buzzing sound of Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun was so loud that it was like hundreds of bees holding a concert in his ears, making his scalp numb.
The ancient runes on the gun seemed to come alive, flashing strange lights wildly, red, green, and purple, like a disco.
He felt like what he was holding was not a gun, but a monster that could go berserk at any time!
What made him even more frightened was that his mechanical prosthetic eye, which was normally of little use except for scanning QR codes, actually began to flash a blood-red light restlessly.
Lines of data streams scrolled frantically, and finally froze into a line of shocking text: “The intersection of the core coordinates of the star dome… and the rock fracture is at the Yuanxia Palace!”
“Yuanxia Palace?! Oh my god, isn’t that the deepest place in the continent of Teyvat?!” Chen Hao couldn’t help but swear, feeling like an unlucky audience whose key plot had been spoiled.
Isn’t this too much information?
Starry Sky Railway, the Abyss, and the Abyss Palace… What is the connection between these three?
Just as his mind was working frantically, a deafening thunder suddenly came from the sky.
The purple thunder that was originally striking Lin Xiaobei suddenly changed direction without any warning and headed straight for Chen Hao!
“Oh my god! What’s going on?!” Chen Hao was so scared that he wanted to hide instinctively.
But the speed of the thunder was so fast that he didn’t have time to react.
“Don’t even think about succeeding!” Ningguang shouted, her figure flashing like a ghost. The Yaoguang sword in her hand was instantly unsheathed, drawing a dazzling golden light in the air, accurately blocking the menacing purple thunder.
The golden sword energy collided with the purple thunder, causing a deafening roar, and the entire space seemed to tremble.
Ningguang’s body also shook slightly, obviously bearing a huge impact.
“General Lei Dian, what do you mean by this?!” Ningguang’s voice was cold and majestic, with a hint of barely perceptible anger.
General Thunder was suspended in the air with an expressionless face, purple lightning surrounding her, like a cold-blooded and ruthless Queen of Thunder.
“If the holder of the contract card dies, the Teyvat world line will collapse!” she said coldly, her voice as piercing as ice.
The amount of information in this sentence instantly stunned Lin Xiaobei and Chen Hao.
“What?! The world line of Teyvat will collapse?! So serious?!” Chen Hao widened his eyes, feeling as if he was involved in a huge trouble.
“In other words, we now not only have to protect ourselves, but also the entire continent of Teyvat?!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but exclaimed, feeling that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became a hundred thousand pounds heavier.
At this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
Black cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.
“Be careful! The Apostle of the Abyss is coming out!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was filled with a hint of anxiety, and the special pistol in her hand was pointed at the ground.
With a loud bang, a huge black figure broke out from the ground.
It was a monster covered in black slime and emitting a disgusting smell.
Its body was twisted and deformed, and its huge tentacles were waving in the air as if to tear everything apart.
“roar–!”
The Apostle of the Abyss let out a deafening roar, and a powerful suction force burst out from its core, instantly covering the entire space.
Lin Xiaobei only felt that his body was flying uncontrollably towards the Abyss Apostle. What frightened him even more was that the contract card backpack on his waist also began to vibrate violently, as if trying to break free and fly towards the core of the Abyss Apostle!
“Oh my god! What’s going on?! My wives are going to run away from home?!” Lin Xiaobei complained wildly in his mind and tried desperately to grab his backpack.
However, the suction was so strong that he could not resist it at all.
Seeing that the contract card backpack was about to be sucked into the core of the Abyss Apostle, Lin Xiaobei’s heart almost sank.
At this critical moment, Lin Xiaoxia suddenly moved.
She rushed to Lin Xiaobei, grabbed his arm, and handed him the special pistol in her hand.
“Grab the barrel of my gun–!” she shouted loudly, with a hint of determination in her tone.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed the gun barrel that Lin Xiaoxia handed over.
He felt a cold metallic touch, and at the same time, he noticed that Lin Xiaoxia’s left arm began to undergo strange changes.
The originally fair and delicate skin was gradually replaced by a silver metallic texture, and precise circuit lines appeared on her arms, like a mechanical cyborg in a science fiction movie.
“You…” Lin Xiaobei looked at Lin Xiaoxia in shock. He wanted to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn’t say anything.
Lin Xiaoxia ignored Lin Xiaobei’s shock. She clenched her teeth, tensed all her muscles, and resisted the suction of the Apostle of the Abyss.
Her semi-digitalized arm has now completely materialized and turned into a powerful robotic arm.
However, the suction of the Abyss Apostle was so strong that even Lin Xiaoxia’s mechanical arm began to tremble slightly.
At this moment, an even more dazzling purple lightning struck down from the sky, aiming directly at the core of the Abyss Apostle!
The thunder struck the body of the Apostle of the Abyss, bursting out with dazzling light, and the entire thunderstorm barrier began to collapse violently.
Lin Xiaobei only felt that his eyes went dark and he could not see anything.
He could only hold onto Lin Xiaoxia’s gun barrel tightly and allow himself to be swept away by the powerful force…
The scene is frozen in the collapsing thunderstorm barrier, and endless darkness is about to swallow everything…
Thank you for your flowers and applause. Please continue to pay attention. I wish you all good fortune and happiness every day.
Chapter 14: The Final Battle at Yuanxia Palace, Twin Bonds (Old Version)
Under the Yuanxia Palace, it was like the belly of a sleeping giant beast. The damp and cold air was filled with a suffocating feeling of oppression.
The core of the Apostle of the Abyss, like a beating heart, emits a sickening purple-black light.
Suddenly, Catherine’s familiar sweet figure appeared on the surface of the core like a ghost, but her gentle blue eyes were now filled with a cold mechanical feeling.
Her voice was no longer the caring guidance she had given us on previous journeys, but an echo from hell: “The energy of the contract card will soon be full… the Star Dome Railway will become a new container—”
“Oh my god! Catherine has also been evilized? Is this bastard planning going to ruin all the NPCs?!” Lin Xiaobei recovered from his brief blindness and couldn’t help but swear.
He held his buzzing head and struggled to get up from the ground. Everything he saw made his scalp tingle.
The purple thunder, like a dancing giant python, intertwined into an impenetrable electric net in the air, covering the entire Yuanxia Palace.
This is the “Pure Land of One Mind” realm of General Raiden, but at this moment it looks like the end of the world, which is frightening.
“Time is running out!” Ningguang’s voice was particularly clear amid the thunder.
With her slender fingers, she inserted a contract card shining with golden light into the hub of the mechanism of Yuanxia Palace.
“Use my gold authority to activate the rock seal. Countdown 1 minute!”
“One minute? What is that enough for? It’s not even enough to cook a bowl of instant noodles!” Lin Xiaobei complained, but his hands did not slow down at all.
He understood that now was not the time to complain and he had to find a way to break the impasse.
At the same time, Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun suddenly emitted a dazzling light, resonating with the agent chip on Lin Xiaoxia’s arm.
The skin on the back of their necks appeared as if it had been burned by a branding iron, with the same serial number appearing on it – CX-001.
“What the hell! What’s going on? Couple tattoos?” Lin Xiaobei almost popped his eyes out.
“We are the backups of the same system owner!” Chen Hao and Lin Xiaoxia shouted in unison, both of them with shock and confusion on their faces.
This sudden change caught them off guard.
Chen Hao tore open his breastplate, revealing a hideous brand on his chest, which was exactly the same as the number on the back of Lin Xiaoxia’s neck.
He murmured to himself: “I… I seem to remember… Star Train… my number…”
“This is too ridiculous! Are you two siblings who have been separated for many years? Or…clones?!” Lin Xiaobei’s imagination suddenly opened up, and he began to make up all kinds of bizarre plots.
“Now is not the time to talk about this!” Lin Xiaoxia interrupted Lin Xiaobei’s wild thoughts. She stared at the core of the Abyss Apostle and said, “We must stop it! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!”
Ningguang shouted, “Rock Abyss, Suppress!” The hub of the mechanism made a deafening roar, and huge rock pillars rose from the ground, like a giant arm holding up the sky, smashing hard into the core of the Apostle of the Abyss.
“One-Minded Pure Land·Judgment!” The figure of General Raiden was looming in the lightning. The naginata in her hand drew a sharp arc of purple light, striking the Apostle of the Abyss directly at his vital point.
“Right now!” A gleam of light flashed in Lin Xiaobei’s eyes, and he grabbed Qiqi beside him…
Lin Xiaobei grabbed Qiqi who was beside him. The little guy was still rubbing his eyes in a daze, with a glass bag tightly clenched in his hand.
“Qiqi, help is needed! Please lend me your magic!” He chuckled, snatched the bottle of medicine from Qiqi’s hand without saying a word, and poured it towards General Lei Dian’s “Pure Land of One Mind” field.
“Hmm? A strange smell…” General Lei Dian frowned slightly. She was keenly aware of a strange medicinal fragrance in the air.
The smell reminded her of the sweet dumplings in Inazuma Castle, and made her want to sneeze.
“A-choo!”
The time is now!
Lin Xiaobei and Qiqi’s paralysis potion is no ordinary potion. It is a mixture of various strange herbs. Coupled with Qiqi’s unique fairy power, it can be called the strongest control skill in the continent of Teyvat.
The moment the potion came into contact with the lightning field, it made a sizzling sound, just like a drop of water dropped into an oil pan, causing a violent reaction.
The originally violent thunder began to become slow, as if it was drunk, staggering and losing its accuracy.
“Electric reaction!” Lin Xiaobei shouted excitedly. This operation was simply perfect!
He threw another bottle of potion towards Ningguang, “Sister Ningguang, catch it! Evaporation reaction!”
Ningguang was quick to take the potion bottle and poured it onto the hub of the mechanism without hesitation.
The moment the potion came into contact with the mechanism hub, a burning breath instantly spread out, and the originally hard rock pillar actually began to melt, just like ice and snow melting rapidly when encountering the scorching sun.
“Dual element reaction, it worked!” Lin Xiaobei clenched his fists excitedly. This operation was simply textbook-level!
“Overload reaction–!” Lin Xiaobei roared, and the Ningguang mechanism and General Lei Dian’s thunderstorm merged perfectly, causing a violent explosion.
The ground of Yuanxia Palace shook violently, as if there was an earthquake, making it difficult for people to stand steadily.
With a loud bang, the core of the Abyss Apostle exploded like a shattered glass ball, with fragments flying everywhere.
At the moment the core exploded, the wreckage of the Star Train slowly rose from the abyss like an awakened behemoth.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Catherine’s residual soul suddenly emerged from Lin Xiaoxia’s body. She covered her chest and coughed violently, her eyes full of resentment. “Do you think deleting your memory can prevent the end? Naive! The founder of the Administration… is the owner of the first generation system!”
“What?!” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes in shock. This sudden reversal caught him off guard.
At the same time, Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun pierced Lin Xiaoxia’s chest armor like lightning.
“Xiao Xia!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed and wanted to rush forward to stop it, but was blocked by an invisible force.
A large amount of data streams poured out from the cracks in Lin Xiaoxia’s breastplate. These data streams, like running codes, intertwined into pictures in the air.
That was Lin Xiaobei’s childhood image. He rode a wooden horse and laughed happily in the park. He held a certificate and proudly showed it at school. He hid in his bed and secretly read comic books.
“This…what’s going on?” Lin Xiaobei looked at these familiar scenes, his heart full of doubts.
Suddenly, a melodious whistle sounded from the depths of the abyss. It was the whistle of the Starry Sky Train.
The picture froze on the collapsed dome of Yuanxia Palace. Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun was still stuck in Lin Xiaoxia’s chest armor. Catherine’s residual soul was floating in the air like a ghost.
“You…you are…” Lin Xiaobei pointed at Catherine’s residual soul, his voice trembling.
Catherine’s remaining soul revealed a strange smile, “Hehehe… the game has just begun…”
Please give me flowers, collections and rewards. Thank you very much!
Chapter 15: Childhood Phantom in the Abyss Rift (Old Version)
The core of the Apostle of the Abyss, like a rotten tomato that was squeezed and burst, spurted out disgusting black liquid, accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity, and finally exploded with a “bang”.
In the diffuse dust, Lin Xiaoxia’s data stream did not dissipate. Instead, it was strangely reassembled and condensed into… a little girl with pigtails and a floral dress!
That was clearly Lin Xiaoxia’s childhood appearance!
“Brother Xiaobei, what you saw was not an illusion… ahem… we are the backups of the same system owner!” A childish voice came out from the digitized little girl’s mouth, intermittently, like an old radio with a cassette.
Lin Xiaobei’s brain was buzzing and he felt as if he had swallowed a whole lemon, which was extremely sour.
Backup?
What backup?
He stood there in a daze, like a goose struck by lightning.
At the same time, a clear “clang” sound was heard in the air. General Lei Dian’s Nagging Rice Light, that is, the domineering Yaoguang Sword, had been unsheathed at some point, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lin Xiaobei, blocking his retreat.
“The holder of the contract card has trespassed into the Yuanxia Palace and disrupted the balance of the world line. According to the Inazuma law, he should be beheaded!” General Lei Dian’s voice was without a trace of emotion, as if sentencing Lin Xiaobei to death.
Good man, this is just like killing the donkey after it has done its job!
Lin Xiaobei cursed inwardly, what a broken system, the characters summoned out are all so unique, it’s really a headache!
At this critical moment, with a crisp “pop” sound, an exquisite jade fan blocked the Yaoguang sword, sparks flying.
It’s Ningguang!
She waved the fan gracefully, her brows slightly frowned: “General, calm down. The world line of Teyvat is already fragile. If you take action here, it will probably cause the collapse of the entire world line, and the consequences will be disastrous.” Ningguang’s tone was calm, but with unquestionable majesty, as if she was a chess player who controlled the overall situation and was playing a big game that concerned the fate of the world.
Lin Xiaobei secretly glanced at Ningguang and silently gave her a thumbs up in his heart: She is worthy of being the Tianquan Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue, this move is simply amazing!
He felt like a mortal caught between two gods fighting, and he was trembling.
At this moment, something strange happened.
Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun actually began to buzz, resonating with the wreckage of the Starry Sky Train scattered in the cracks of the abyss!
His cold mechanical prosthetic eye suddenly emitted a dazzling light, forming a holographic projection in mid-air.
In the projection, a figure wearing a black uniform and with a blurred face appeared, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
“Warning: 100% genetic match detected with the system holder.” The cold electronic synthesized sound echoed in the abyss rift, as if it was a judgment from hell.
Lin Xiaobei felt his heart sink suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
100% genetic match?
Could it be that I am a clone?
Or… something more terrifying?
He subconsciously looked at Chen Hao, only to find that Chen Hao’s mechanical prosthetic eye was flashing a strange light, like some kind of signal light, flickering.
The next second, Chen Hao suddenly tore open his breastplate, revealing a brand on his chest – it was a complex pattern, and it was surprisingly consistent with the number on the chest of Lin Xiaoxia’s data incarnation!
“System holder…backup…” Lin Xiaoxia, who looked like a little girl, repeated this sentence weakly, like some kind of ancient spell.
Catherine’s remaining soul was floating around, making creepy laughter.
“Hehehe… kids, the game… has just begun…” Her empty eyes stared straight at Lin Xiaobei, as if they wanted to devour him.
Lin Xiaobei felt as if his throat was being tightly strangled by an invisible big hand, making it difficult to breathe.
What does all this mean?!
He clenched his teeth and tried to keep himself calm.
He knew that he had to figure it all out as soon as possible, otherwise he would be trapped in this strange mystery forever.
“You guys…” Lin Xiaobei spoke with difficulty, but found that he could not make any sound. He could only watch everything in front of him develop in an even more unpredictable direction…
Lin Xiaobei is not someone who will sit and wait for death.
Seeing that the two big guys, General Lei Dian and Ningguang, were on the verge of a fight, Xiao Xia turned into a mini version again, and there was also some weird setting about system owner backup. He felt like his head was like a pot of boiling paste, a mess.
But at the critical moment, the surge of adrenaline actually stimulated his potential.
His eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.
He pulled out a bottle of Qiqi’s special ice potion from his backpack – that stuff was a good thing. When encountering an enemy with fire attributes, it could produce a beautiful superconducting reaction and greatly reduce the defense.
But this time, his target was not a fire monster, but the bare rock wall next to the abyss fissure.
“Mr. Zhongli, give me a hand!” Lin Xiaobei shouted and threw ice potion at the rock wall.
The moment the potion touched the rock wall, a biting chill instantly spread, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the originally hard rock surface.
Almost at the same time, Zhongli’s rock ridge rose from the ground, forming a solid staircase.
Lin Xiaobei pointed his toes, took advantage of the height of the rock ridge, and did a beautiful backflip, leaping into the air.
“Superconducting reaction–!” He shouted, and a huge ice hammer appeared out of thin air in his hand, smashing hard into the core of the Abyss Apostle – the “rotten tomato” that was still sizzling and emitting black smoke.
“Boom!” With a loud bang, the shock wave caused the entire abyss rift to tremble.
In the dense dust, Lin Xiaobei landed steadily, looking as handsome as a superhero falling from the sky.
However, things did not develop as he expected.
At the moment of the explosion, a strange emblem emerged from the core of the Abyss Apostle – that emblem was very familiar to Lin Xiaobei, it was the logo of the Space-Time Administration!
“Do you recognize the truth now? You are the new container!” Catherine’s residual soul let out a creepy sneer from the mouth of the mini version of Lin Xiaoxia.
The sound was sharp and piercing, like nails scratching on a blackboard, and it gave Lin Xiaobei goose bumps all over his body.
Before he could react, a red warning popped up on the system: “The Commander-in-Chief of the Spacetime Administration has intervened in the copy—”
An invisible force came from the depths of the abyss rift, frantically sucking Lin Xiaobei’s contract card backpack.
General Lei Dian’s “One Heart Pure Land” field collapsed instantly like paper in the face of this power.
A huge silver mecha slowly appeared in the crack.
The mecha, shining with a cold metallic luster and full of a sense of technology, seemed out of place in this fantasy world.
Lin Xiaobei’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
This mecha gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, as if a sleeping giant beast was slowly waking up.
His gaze involuntarily fell on the eyes of the mecha – there, golden program codes were flashing, like some kind of mysterious rune, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
“What…what the hell is this thing…” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself, his voice trembling, but no one could answer him.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxia’s data body suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light…
Thank you for your support. Please give me some flowers. Thank you.
Chapter 16: Inazuma and Liyue’s attack (old version)
The golden light rushed out from Lin Xiaoxia’s data body like a flood that broke through the dam, enveloping her completely.
The light was so dazzling that Lin Xiaobei had to squint to barely see her figure.
“My authority level… exceeds that of S-level agent!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice trembled with a hint of disbelief, yet was full of power.
In her hand, the ordinary agent’s gun began to twist and reorganize like a Transformer, and finally turned into a baton flashing with strange light – that was the symbol of the captain of the Star Train!
At the same time, the cracks in Yuanxia Palace were completely torn apart, like a huge mouth of the abyss, spitting out teams of silver-white mechas.
They marched in neat steps, emitting a cold metallic luster, like a steel torrent from the future, about to completely submerge this ancient land.
“This situation seems like they are planning to go wholesale!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain, but an unprecedented fighting spirit rose in his heart.
“Focus on the Pure Land!” General Lei Dian’s purple figure flashed and appeared in front of the mecha troops.
The naginata in her hand drew a brilliant streak of lightning, instantly enveloping the surrounding space in a purple thunderstorm.
“The system holder must be judged!” General Lei Dian’s voice was as deafening as thunder, with unquestionable majesty.
Ningguang’s figure appeared like a ghost next to the mechanism hub of Yuanxia Palace.
In her hand, the contract card that was shining with golden light was slowly being inserted into the card slot of the hub.
“Use my golden authority to activate the stratum—!” Ningguang’s voice was filled with a hint of determination and solemnity.
Golden light gushed out from the hub of the mechanism, like golden chains, blocking the entire Yuanxia Palace.
“Oh my god, Sister Ningguang, you are going to do something big!” Lin Xiaobei watched this scene and couldn’t help but be shocked by Ningguang’s courage.
At the same time, the chainsaw gun in Chen Hao’s hand suddenly began to vibrate violently, making a buzzing sound.
His right arm prosthesis also began to flash with dazzling light.
“Ziziziz…” After a burst of electric sound, the prosthesis on Chen Hao’s right arm suddenly cracked, revealing a core inside that was flashing with blue light – that was the core of the captain of the Starry Sky Train!
“The Baidi Rebellion is fake…Catherine is the traitor!” Chen Hao’s voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of pain and anger.
His chainsaw gun and Lin Xiaoxia’s baton resonated at this moment. The two rays of light intertwined together to form a more dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
A huge holographic projection screen appeared in front of everyone.
On the screen, the tragic scene of the Star Train being completely annihilated was played.
“This… this is impossible…” Lin Xiaobei looked at the picture on the screen, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
Catherine, the gentle and kind train receptionist, turned out to be the traitor who caused the destruction of the Star Train?
“Xiaobei, are you ready?” Chen Hao’s voice brought Lin Xiaobei back from shock.
“Prepare…prepare for what?” Lin Xiaobei asked subconsciously.
Chen Hao did not answer, but pointed the chainsaw gun in his hand at General Lei Dian’s “One Heart Pure Land” field, with a sneer on his face: “Come on, let us see how powerful the joint attack of Inazuma and Liyue is!”
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and his eyes fell on the bottle of Qiqi’s evaporation potion in his backpack…
Content after Chinese translation:
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and his eyes fell on the bottle of Qiqi’s evaporation potion in his backpack.
He suddenly opened the bottle cap and splashed the potion towards General Thunder’s thunderstorm area.
“Overload reaction–!”
The blue evaporating potion and the purple thunderstorm reacted violently in an instant, and a pungent smell filled the air.
Lightning and evaporation intertwined to form a powerful electric current, which instantly penetrated the shield of the mecha troops.
The electric currents splashed in all directions, dancing wildly among the mechas like sparks. Each current accurately hit the core part of the mecha, causing a series of explosions.
The cores of the mecha group exploded at the same time, and silver-white armor fragments flew everywhere like a metal rain.
The holographic projection of the Administration’s chief commander suddenly appeared, and that stern face was looming in the void.
“Give up the contract card, otherwise the entire two-dimensional world will be formatted!” His voice was cold and majestic, like a judgment from hell.
Lin Xiaoxia’s pupils suddenly split into starry blue and administration gold, with complex light flashing in her eyes.
There was both determination and hesitation in her eyes, as if she was weighing some extremely important decision.
From deep within the crack of the abyss, a low whistle sounded. The sound was like an ancient call, penetrating all the noise and hitting everyone’s eardrums.
A prompt of “Tianquan Star Copy” suddenly appeared on Lin Xiaobei’s contract card backpack, and Chen Hao’s mechanical prosthetic eye showed a countdown of 72 hours, and the picture froze on the wreckage of the Star Dome Train emerging from the crack.
“Xiaobei, we have to hurry, time is running out.” There was a hint of urgency in Lin Xiaoxia’s voice, and her fingers trembled slightly, as if she was making final preparations for the upcoming battle.
Chapter 17 The Price of Gold Authority (Old Version)
“Give up the contract card, otherwise all the two-dimensional worlds will be formatted!” The voice of the commander-in-chief of the administration echoed in Yuanxia Palace with unquestionable majesty, as if the gods were reading out the Doomsday Judgment.
His cold holographic projection was suspended in the air, looking down at everyone like a god high above.
“Format? Are you writing code here?” Lin Xiaobei sneered, holding the contract card tightly in his hand. There was no fear in his eyes, only a burning fighting spirit.
He is not someone who can be frightened. Do you expect him to hand over his treasure?
No way!
At this moment, something strange happened!
The fragments of the Administration’s mechas that had been shattered by General Thunder and Lightning began to madly aggregate and deform as if being pulled by some mysterious force.
The sound of metal rubbing against each other was so harsh and creepy.
In the blink of an eye, a huge, ominous new form of the Apostle of the Abyss appeared in front of everyone.
It is larger and more ferocious than the previous mecha, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
“Fuck, what the hell is this?” Chen Hao couldn’t help but curse. The chainsaw gun in his hand buzzed, as if he felt the threat from the abyss.
At the same time, Lin Xiaoxia’s eyes flashed with a complex light, and her agent chip suddenly projected a shocking information from the Administration database: “The contract card is the world line harvester——!”
“World line harvester? What does this mean?” Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
Could it be that the contract card that I have been using is hiding such a terrible secret?
Before he could think about it, General Lei Dian’s “eternity” domain began to vibrate violently, like glass about to break.
Her proud figure also began to become blurred, as if it would disappear at any time.
“Eternity… collapsed…” General Lei Dian’s voice was weak, with a hint of incredible despair.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaobei’s heart suddenly tightened.
General Lei Dian is the strongest fighter in his hands. If she falls, the consequences will be disastrous!
At this critical moment, Ningguang resolutely inserted her mechanical prosthesis into the mechanism hub of Yuanxia Palace.
“Activate the golden authority… but I will lose my human consciousness!” Ningguang’s voice was calm and firm, as if she had already prepared for the sacrifice.
“Sister Ningguang, don’t do that!” Lin Xiaobei wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
A dazzling light burst out from the hub of the mechanism, instantly illuminating the entire Yuanxia Palace.
Lin Xiaobei felt as if his body was being torn apart by a powerful force, and his consciousness began to become blurred.
At the same time, Chen Hao’s chainsaw gun resonated with the wreckage of the Starry Sky Train, making a deafening roar.
His mechanical prosthetic eye projected a shocking holographic image – the star core forging instrument of the Authority’s commander-in-chief!
“He is the container of the first generation system holder!” Chen Hao’s voice was filled with incredible shock.
It turns out that all this was a conspiracy by the commander-in-chief of the administration!
He used the Star Core Forging Instrument to control the system and used the Contract Card to collect data from the two-dimensional world. His ultimate goal was to…
Lin Xiaobei’s consciousness gradually returned. He looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.
“I won’t let you succeed!” Lin Xiaobei clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination.
He wants to stop the conspiracy of the chief commander of the administration and protect the two-dimensional world he cherishes!
He took a deep breath and his eyes fell on the contract card between Ningguang and General Lei Dian… Wait, Lin Xiaobei suddenly said, I have a bad feeling…
Lin Xiaobei’s fingers gently stroked the contract cards of Ningguang and General Lei Dian. He took a deep breath and inserted the two contract cards into the card slots of the system token at the same time.
“Double Star Resonance·Golden Authority——!” The system’s voice became particularly loud at this moment, as if announcing that an epic showdown was about to take place.
Lin Xiaobei’s body was wrapped in golden light, like a shining sun. The entire Yuanxia Palace was illuminated by this strong light.
In an instant, the crack in the abyss opened wider, and a huge black hole gradually condensed in the crack. It seemed that countless demons were roaring in the black halo.
As the black hole formed, a huge portal emerged from it, and the other end of the portal was connected to an unknown dimension – the Tianquan Star copy.
“Hahaha, congratulations on passing the level!” The voice of the Administration’s chief commander came from deep within the crack, full of ridicule and threats. “Now, let’s enter the real inter-dimensional war!”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart was beating wildly, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart like a tide.
He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with an unyielding light.
At this moment, he felt the air flow around him suddenly change, as if an invisible force was pulling him.
“The contract card backpack… is being sucked towards the Starry Sky Train!” Lin Xiaobei shouted loudly. He saw that his contract card backpack seemed to be pulled by a strong gravitational force and gradually flew towards the wreckage of the Starry Sky Train in the black portal.
“Xiaobei, be careful!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was filled with anxiety. Her digitized arm tightly grasped Lin Xiaobei’s wrist, trying to prevent him from being sucked into the black hole.
“Don’t trust the Starry Sky Railway…their memories have been tampered with–” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was full of warning and anxiety. Her eyes flashed with complex light, as if she was trying to tell Lin Xiaobei a huge secret.
Lin Xiaobei’s heartbeat quickened, and he could feel himself being gradually pulled by the powerful gravitational force.
His eyes were fixed on Lin Xiaoxia, and a strong sense of trust and dependence surged in his heart.
“I understand!” Lin Xiaobei shouted, his heart full of determination.
He held Lin Xiaoxia’s arm tightly, as if at this moment, the fate of the two was closely linked.
At this moment, the gravity coming from the black portal became stronger and stronger, and Lin Xiaobei and Lin Xiaoxia’s bodies were pulled tightly by this force, as if it was going to tear them apart.
Lin Xiaobei’s vision gradually blurred, and the only sound he could hear was the whistling wind and the roar of the wreckage of the Starry Sky Train.
“No matter what happens, we must stick to it!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was firm and powerful, as if injecting the last bit of strength into Lin Xiaobei.
Lin Xiaobei nodded, a determined smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, their bodies were completely swallowed by the black hole. The scene froze at this moment, leaving only Lin Xiaoxia’s final warning: “Don’t trust the Starry Sky Railway…their memories have been tampered with…”
Deep in the black hole, the wreckage of the Star Dome Train crashed into the Tianquan Star Orbital Station, and Schrödinger’s shadow loomed from the contract card…
Chapter 18 Tianquan Star Trap, Schrodinger Awakens (Old Version)
Before the dizzy feeling of the world spinning away wore off, Lin Xiaobei felt as if he had been thrown into a giant washing machine, and his bones were about to fall apart.
The wreckage of the Starry Sky Train crashed into the Tianquan Star Orbital Station like a kite with a broken string, making a deafening roar, flames splashing everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and metal.
Lin Xiaobei struggled to crawl out of the twisted pile of metal, covered in dust and dirt, as if he had just been picked up from a garbage dump.
Before he could recover from his shock, a faint voice sounded in his ears. It felt like someone blowing a cool breath in your ear.
“Welcome to the tampered copy…System Holder.”
Lin Xiaobei was startled and almost died on the spot.
This sound…could it be?
He turned around suddenly and saw a translucent card floating in the air. On the card, the woman in a white coat and holding a cat was looking at him with a smile. Who else could it be but Schrödinger?
Wow, this way of appearance is so mysterious!
So childish!
Scary enough!
Lin Xiaobei was complaining madly in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.
“Schrödinger… Boss? You…how did you…”
“Quantum superposition, understand?” Schrödinger raised his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to say “You don’t even understand this, you’re a fake fan.”
Before Lin Xiaobei could continue asking questions, a harsh sound of metal friction came from the shadow of the platform.
A figure wearing silver-gray armor walked out slowly, looking heroic. It was Bronya.
She glanced at Lin Xiaobei and said coldly: “Anti-Entropy will not participate in your war…but the quantum entanglement of the contract card is very dangerous.”
Quantum entanglement?
Lin Xiaobei was completely confused and felt like he had fallen into a huge information black hole. He had no idea what was going on.
At this moment, a girl in tattered work clothes suddenly rushed over. She had messy red hair and a mechanical prosthesis with a metallic luster on her left arm.
She grabbed Lin Xiaobei’s arm and said hurriedly: “In 72 hours, all the copy worlds will be formatted. The system loophole is in the core layer of the Star Core Forging Instrument!”
Lin Xiaobei looked at the girl and felt that she looked familiar. He tried hard to recall and finally remembered, wasn’t this the NPC Anna whom he met on the Starry Sky Train before?
Wait, formatting?
System loophole?
This is a lot of information!
“You are… Anna? What did you say formatting? And there is a system vulnerability… What is going on?” Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain CPU was about to burn out.
Anna did not answer, but directly inserted the mechanical prosthesis into a data interface of the orbital station. After a crackling sound of electricity, a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone.
In the projection, a huge gear-like device was rotating slowly, with complex circuits running through it like blood vessels. It was the Star Core Forging Instrument.
“The Star Core Forging Instrument… is the core device used by the Administration to control all the copy worlds,” Anna pointed at the projection and explained, “They tampered with the copy plot and implanted a tracking program. Their purpose is to…”
Before Anna finished speaking, Schrodinger suddenly interrupted her: “It is to capture system holders like you, and then…” She paused, with a meaningful smile on her lips, “recruit or…eliminate.”
Clear?! Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath. This is too cruel!
Bronya looked at the projection with a frown on her face. “The quantum entanglement of the contract card will be the key to their tracking…it must be resolved as soon as possible.”
Schrödinger snapped his fingers, and her figure instantly became blurred, and then… she appeared in three different locations at the same time!
“Quantum state, would you like to know more?” Her joking voice echoed on the platform. “Leave the trivial matter of deciphering data to me.”
Lin Xiaobei looked at the three Schrödinger’s in amazement.
Wow, this operation…is simply amazing!
He is worthy of being the leader in quantum mechanics!
At this moment, a huge roar was heard outside the orbital station and the ground began to shake.
Anna’s face changed: “Oh no, the mechas from the Administration are here!”
A figure flashed out from the shadows and stood in front of Lin Xiaobei.
It’s Chen Hao!
His eyes were sharp and he exuded a powerful aura, completely different from the sloppy game host before.
“Xiaobei, protect Anna, leave this to me!”
Chen Hao’s pupils suddenly shrank, as if they were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
“The trajectory of their attack… is exactly the same as the Starry Sky White Emperor Rebellion!” He growled, his tone full of disbelief and a hint of… fear?
This is no joke, the Baidi Rebellion is a famous epic battle in the Starry Sky Railway. Now it is being replayed on Tianquan Star. It feels like playing an extremely difficult real-life game, and it’s hell mode!
“Wait, this familiar smell…” Chen Hao murmured to himself. He felt something awakening deep in his brain. A warm current surged through his body, as if some long-forgotten fragments of memory were being pieced together.
“Time sand… I saw… the flow of time sand…” He suddenly raised his head, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.
At this moment, Schrödinger’s three quantum state phantoms moved at the same time!
They shuttled between the mechas like ghosts, at a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to catch them with the naked eye.
Their movements were graceful and deadly, and every flash was accompanied by a distortion of space, like throwing stones into calm water, causing ripples.
“Use my contract card as a data anchor point, and be careful of the consciousness swallowing by the Star Core Forging Instrument–” Schrödinger’s voice sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind, with a hint of barely perceptible tension.
Her words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting the fog in Lin Xiaobei’s heart.
Data anchor?
Consciousness devouring?
Why does this sound so much like the setting in Cthulhu Mythos?
Lin Xiaobei felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
He subconsciously glanced at the contract card in his hand, and suddenly found a faint golden light emerging on the surface of the card. The light flickered like breathing, which was extremely strange.
And in this golden light, a familiar symbol slowly emerged—it was the emblem of the Spacetime Administration!
“Oh my god! What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed, feeling that his worldview was refreshed once again.
This administration is so insidious that they actually implanted a tracking program into the contract card?
This is to catch them all in one fell swoop!
At this moment, the system’s warning sound suddenly sounded, and the harsh sound pierced the eardrum like a sharp knife: “Warning! Warning! The activation of the inter-dimensional war protocol has been detected! The activation of the inter-dimensional war protocol has been detected!”
“Inter-dimensional war agreement? What the hell?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like he was going crazy. This amount of information was too much!
He is like a small boat swept by a torrent of information and could capsize at any time.
At the same time, Schrödinger’s three quantum phantoms suddenly stopped, and their bodies began to flicker, as if they would disappear at any time.
“Not good! The consciousness of the Star Core Forging Instrument is fighting back!” Schrödinger’s voice was filled with anxiety, “I can’t maintain my quantum state any longer!”
The picture froze in the collapsed space of the Star Core Forging Instrument. The huge gear-like device began to spin wildly, making a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction.
The complex circuits expand and contract like blood vessels, like a beating heart.
The space began to twist and deform, as if it was being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.
“Xiaobei! Hurry…” Schrödinger’s voice became weaker and weaker, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He subconsciously clenched the contract card in his hand, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.
“Schrödinger!” he shouted, but only heard his own hollow echo.
Chen Hao turned his head suddenly, and his “Time Sand Perception” caught a trace of abnormal energy fluctuations. The fluctuations came from the core of the Star Core Forging Instrument. It was powerful and strange, like…
“Stop it quickly! It’s going to…” Chen Hao’s voice stopped abruptly, his eyes fixed on the core of the Star Core Forging Instrument, his eyes filled with fear and… despair?
Chapter 19: The Star Core Forging Instrument Goes Out of Control, Anti-Entropy Decision (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly, and a burning vibration came from the contract card in his hand.
He instinctively looked towards the Star Core Forging Instrument. The huge gear-like device seemed to have lost control and was spinning wildly, making a harsh metallic friction sound.
Schrödinger’s shadow flickered in the air, as if it would disappear at any time.
Lin Xiaobei subconsciously clenched the contract card in his hand, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.
He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Suddenly, the core of the Star Core Forging Instrument began to vibrate violently, and a powerful energy wave spread from the core, instantly sweeping across the entire space.
“Not good! The energy of the contract card has been absorbed!” Chen Hao turned back suddenly, and his “Time Sand Perception” captured a trace of abnormal energy fluctuations. The fluctuation came from the core of the Star Core Forging Instrument. It was powerful and strange, like an invisible force raging.
Lin Xiaobei felt the contract cards in his hands begin to become hot, as if an invisible force was pulling them from his palms.
The air around me became so hot that even breathing seemed difficult.
He felt a strong sense of crisis, his heart beat faster, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
“Bronya! Deploy your armor quickly!” Lin Xiaobei shouted loudly.
Bronya responded quickly. A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from the surface of her armor, and it instantly unfolded into the form of “Broad Wings”.
The huge wings were like two golden barriers, protecting Lin Xiaobei and Chen Hao.
The plasma shield on the surface of the armor also began to activate, forming an indestructible defense.
“Xiaobei, step back quickly!” Bronya’s voice was calm and firm, but Lin Xiaobei could feel her inner nervousness.
The golden wings were like the wings of a giant dragon, wrapping them tightly and isolating them from the violent energy from the outside world.
The core energy of the Star Core Forging Instrument continued to be output crazily, and the surrounding equipment began to collapse one after another, with fragments scattered everywhere.
Lin Xiaobei could hear the sound of metal breaking and feel the strong vibration.
His feet seemed to be shaking and he almost lost his balance.
At this moment, a silver mecha slowly emerged from the crack in space. The surface of the mecha was covered with complex star track patterns and emitted a cold light.
The figure of the Administration’s chief commander appeared before them, his eyes cold and threatening.
“Smart, you have discovered the truth about the contract card – the world line harvester!” The voice of the commander-in-chief of the administration was cold and ruthless, as emotionless as a machine.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart stopped beating instantly, and he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Bronya’s armor trembled slightly in the golden light, as if responding to this powerful threat.
“You think these contract cards are just simple cards? You are wrong!” The voice of the chief commander of the Administration was cold and firm. “They are tools for collecting world energy. Every use of a contract card is weakening the world you are in. In the end, these energies will be gathered into the main body of the Star Dome Railway!”
Lin Xiaobei’s face was pale, and he felt an unprecedented anger and helplessness.
But he did not give up. He held the contract card tightly in his hand, with a determined light in his eyes.
“Schrödinger!” Lin Xiaobei shouted, “Do you have any other ideas?”
Schrödinger’s shadow laughed in the quantum state, her voice full of teasing: “Do you think I awakened to help you? The Star Dome Railway is the final container!”
Lin Xiaobei was stunned, feeling a deep sense of frustration.
But suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he remembered something.
“Schrödinger, you are a quantum being, can you create an overload reaction?” Lin Xiaobei
“Overload reaction?” Schrodinger’s voice was filled with doubt. “You will pay the price for this, Xiaobei.”
“I do!” Lin Xiaobei said firmly.
Schrödinger’s shadow suddenly became more stable, and her body emitted a brighter light.
She held out a hand, and golden light burst out from her fingertips, merging with Bronya’s plasma shield.
“Okay, Bronya, are you ready?” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was firm and full of determination.
“Appointed!” Bronya responded, her voice full of confidence.
The two looked at each other tacitly. Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and raised the contract card in his hand high. Golden light burst out from the card and instantly combined with Bronya’s plasma shield to form a huge energy wave.
“Overload reaction activated!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice resounded throughout the space like thunder.
The mecha shield of the commander-in-chief of the administration lit up immediately, but the huge energy wave penetrated the mecha’s defense at an astonishing speed and rushed straight to the core of the mecha.
The star track patterns on the surface of the mecha began to twist and deform, emitting a dazzling light.
“Impossible!” The voice of the chief commander of the administration was filled with horror.
Lin Xiaobei’s face was pale, but his eyes were as firm as ever.
He felt a huge energy surging out of the contract card, as if it was going to tear him apart.
But he did not back down. He held the contract card tightly, gritted his teeth, and held on.
At this moment, Chen Hao suddenly tore open the prosthesis of his right arm, revealing a core fragment of the Star Core Forging Instrument.
His eyes were firm and determined.
“My consciousness is also a data anchor point!” Chen Hao’s voice was as firm as stone.
The mecha shield of the commander-in-chief of the administration finally collapsed under the impact of the overload reaction, and the core of the mecha began to vibrate violently, as if it would explode at any time.
Lin Xiaobei and Chen Hao both showed resolute expressions on their faces, but their
“Xiaobei, get ready for new challenges!” Chen Hao’s voice was firm and powerful.
Lin Xiaobei nodded, clenched his fists, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.
“Time sand perception, covering the whole body!” Chen Hao’s voice sounded like thunder, and his body was suddenly covered by a golden light, as if surrounded by golden sand.
Chen Hao’s “Time Sand Perception” was like a flood that broke through the dam, instantly covering his entire body. Golden light flowed through his body like countless tiny grains of sand flying.
He roared in pain and stabbed the star core fragment into his chest. The blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
“72 hours… all the two-dimensional worlds… collapsed into data–!” Chen Hao’s voice was intermittent, like a roar coming from the depths of hell, and every word was filled with suffocating despair.
His body was shaking violently, and the golden light on him flickered, as if it would go out at any time.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He never thought that things would develop to this point.
In 72 hours, all the two-dimensional worlds will collapse into data?
This is simply a catastrophic disaster!
He clenched his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
Now is not the time to panic, he must find a way to prevent this disaster from happening.
He took a deep breath and activated Schrodinger and Bronya’s contract cards at the same time.
The two cards emitted dazzling light at the same time, like two bright stars, illuminating the dark space.
Schrödinger’s quantum state shadow and Bronya’s armor appeared beside Lin Xiaobei at the same time, and their faces were full of solemn expressions.
The core of the Star Core Forging Instrument suddenly began to vibrate violently, and a powerful energy wave spread out from the core, instantly sweeping across the entire space.
Under the impact of the energy wave, complex lines appeared on the core surface of the Star Core Forging Instrument, like a circuit board, flashing a strange light.
“They are collecting the entropy values ​​of all world lines–!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice trembled, and he finally understood the conspiracy of the Administration.
They don’t simply want to conquer the two-dimensional world, but to collect the entropy of all world lines for some more evil purpose.
At this moment, Anna’s mechanical arm suddenly exploded, and fragments flew everywhere like a blooming blood-red lotus.
A look of pain appeared on her face, but she still gritted her teeth and threw a coordinate flashing blue light to Lin Xiaobei.
“Use my stream of consciousness to interfere… Go to the core layer of Tianquan Star quickly–!” Anna’s voice was weak and rapid, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
Lin Xiaobei grabbed the coordinates and felt a burning pain in the palm of his hand.
He looked up at Anna, only to find that Anna’s body had begun to become transparent, as if she would disappear at any time.
“Anna!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was full of despair and unwillingness.
A smile appeared on Anna’s face, and her “Don’t worry, I’m fine… just… a little tired…”
Anna’s body gradually disappeared, and finally turned into starlight and dissipated into the air.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart felt like it was torn apart and he was in so much pain that he couldn’t breathe.
He held the coordinates tightly in his hand, with a determined light in his eyes.
He will definitely fulfill Anna’s last wish, stop the Administration’s conspiracy, and save all the two-dimensional world!
At this moment, the core of the Star Core Forging Instrument suddenly burst out with an even more powerful energy wave, instantly engulfing Bronya’s armor.
Bronya groaned in pain, and her body began to twist and deform, as if it would be torn apart at any time.
“Bronya!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was full of despair and fear.
He wanted to rush to save Bronya, but was stopped by Schrödinger.
“It’s useless, Xiaobei, no one can save her now…” Schrödinger’s voice was full of sadness and helplessness.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and he felt an unprecedented despair.
He watched Bronya being swallowed by the core of the Star Core Forging Instrument, but was powerless to do anything.
“Xiaobei… remember… you must… stay alive…” Bronya’s voice was weak and intermittent, like a call from the depths of hell.
Lin Xiaobei’s eyes became moist. He clenched his teeth and tried hard not to let the tears flow down.
He will definitely survive, for Bronya, and for the entire two-dimensional world!
“Schrödinger, let’s go!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was firm and powerful.
He turned and ran towards the core layer of Tianquan Star, with Schrödinger’s quantum state shadow following closely behind him.
The core of the Star Core Forging Instrument emitted a deafening roar, as if it would explode at any time.
“Wait… Xiaobei…” Schrodinger’s voice suddenly became hurried, “Do you feel it?”
Lin Xiaobei stopped, raised his head and looked forward.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his head.
“What is that…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice trembled. He pointed forward, his tone full of fear and anxiety.
Please give me flowers and rewards. If you like it, please add it to your collection. Thank you. I wish you all good fortune!
Chapter 20: The Cliff of the Unknown Universe, the Prologue of the Interdimensional War (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei only felt a black screen in front of his eyes and a buzzing sound in his ears. The moment the core of the Star Core Forging Instrument exploded, it seemed as if the whole world was turned upside down.
Damn it! He roared in his heart, his body falling down uncontrollably.
The feeling of weightlessness swept over me like a tsunami, and my internal organs seemed to be shifting out of place.
The vision was filled with chaos, and I couldn’t tell up from down, left from right, and I could only feel endless darkness and nothingness.
The smell of burning metal filled his nose, making him cough.
He felt like a kicked football, drifting aimlessly in the boundless void of the universe.
Just when he thought he was going to die, a dazzling light tore through the darkness.
Then, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice exploded in his ears.
Choose me… or perish!
Lin Xiaobei opened his eyes with great effort, only to see that Schrödinger, who had been following him closely, had now split into two!
One of them exuded a cold metallic luster, with empty eyes, like a puppet being controlled by someone; the other one looked painful.
Damn, can quantum mechanics be played like this? Lin Xiaobei complained in his heart, Schrödinger, are you going to have a mental breakdown?
Before he could react, the puppet form of Schrödinger from the Administration suddenly pounced on him at lightning speed.
Fuck you! Lin Xiaobei quickly rolled over and narrowly avoided the attack.
Schrödinger, wake up! He shouted at the free will form of Schrödinger.
However, that Schrödinger just shook his head in pain, seemingly unable to control his body at all.
At this moment, an even more powerful force arrived.
The mecha of the commander-in-chief of the administration, which had been blown into scrap metal, actually began to reassemble.
The metal fragments were quickly pieced together like building blocks, and finally, a sci-fi and magnificent star train appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei.
Congratulations on clearing the level… Now all world lines will be connected into a new container! The voice of the General Manager of the Administration came from inside the train, with a creepy madness.
Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes. Is this old guy playing such a big game?
He vaguely felt that a huge conspiracy was gradually coming to light.
Before he could think about it, something strange happened again.
Chen Hao’s mechanical prosthetic eye suddenly projected a bloody picture.
Countless starship wreckages floated in the universe, filled with smoke and flames.
That was the Starry Sky Railway’s fleet, an invincible force that once roamed the sea of ​​stars and was invincible, but now it had become a pile of scrap metal.
My memory… is the backup of the first generation system holder… Chen Hao’s voice was low and hoarse, like a whisper from hell.
His expression was painful and struggling, as if he was enduring some unimaginable torture.
Original system owner? Backup?
He felt that his brain was not enough, the amount of information was too much, and he needed to slow down.
Just when he was confused, Chen Hao suddenly raised his head and looked at him with an extremely complicated look.
Lin Xiaobei…be careful…
police……
A strong wind pressure almost tore Lin Xiaobei to pieces. The Starry Sky Train commanded by the Administration Bureau issued a shrill whistle, like a death knell from hell.
This old guy really wants to play big!
Lin Xiaobei cursed inwardly, feeling like a cookie stuck in a sandwich, being squeezed by two powerful forces.
Suddenly, a silver-white light cut through the chaos, and a figure appeared through the air, like a god descending from heaven!
“Xiaobei!”
She was dressed in a neat agent uniform, looking heroic, holding a peculiarly shaped energy gun in her hand, with a dangerous light flashing at the muzzle.
This girl usually looks weak and timid, but I didn’t expect she has such a skill!
Lin Xiaobei was shocked, but also relieved.
Lin Xiaoxia’s appearance seemed to trigger some kind of chain reaction.
The agent chip on her wrist suddenly issued a shrill alarm, flashed, and resonated with the Starry Sky Train of the Administration’s commander-in-chief, buzzing.
Warning: 100% genetic match detected for the contract card holder! The cold electronic sound echoed on the cliff, like a thunderclap.
“What?!” Lin Xiaobei and the commander-in-chief of the administration exclaimed at the same time.
100% genetic match? !
Is there any hidden relationship between Lin Xiaoxia and this broken system?
Lin Xiaobei’s head was buzzing and he felt like he had fallen into a huge pit, with pits everywhere!
Lin Xiaoxia was also stunned. She looked at her wrist in disbelief, then looked at Lin Xiaobei, her eyes full of confusion and shock.
The Starry Sky Train commanded by the Administration suddenly stopped running, and his crazy laughter could be heard from the carriage: “Hahaha! It’s really like searching for something without any effort! The genes of the first generation system holder… finally found!”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart skipped a beat. The owner of the first generation system?
What’s this about?
Am I just a spare tire?
He didn’t have time to think too much. The situation was extremely urgent and he had to find a way to escape quickly!
He glanced at the Schrödinger Contract Card in his hand that was on the verge of depletion, and a crazy idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
“Let’s fight!” Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth and suddenly inserted the Schrödinger Contract Card into the crack of the cliff.
Deep within the crack, a mysterious energy wave surged, as if connecting countless dimensional worlds.
“Use quantum state to exist in all copy worlds simultaneously–!” Lin Xiaobei roared, injecting all his energy into the contract card.
The phantom of Schrödinger of “free will” suddenly relaxed his painful expression and revealed a smile of relief.
“Thank you…” he said softly, then turned into starlight and merged into the contract card.
Schrödinger, in the form of a “Puppet of the Administration”, let out an unwilling roar, his body trembling violently, and finally turned into starlight and disappeared.
Time and space twisted, and Lin Xiaobei felt himself being sucked in by a powerful force, and everything in front of him became blurry.
The wild laughter of the chief commander of the Administration echoed in the abyss of the cliff: “The inter-dimensional war… has just begun–!”
Lin Xiaobei’s contract card backpack was sucked into the depths of the cliff by an unknown gravitational force, as if it was about to be swallowed into a huge black hole.
“Oh my god! What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei tried desperately to grab something, but everything was in vain.
The system interface suddenly popped up a prompt saying “Bronze → King Promotion Conditions: Collect all World Line Cores”, and then the screen went completely black.
The scene freezes at the moment when Lin Xiaobei reaches out to grab the void.
“I… will definitely come back…” he said gritting his teeth, his voice was distorted by the suction of the black hole and finally disappeared into nothingness.
“Haha, what an interesting little guy…” A mysterious voice sounded from the depths of the black hole, “I hope you… won’t let me down…”
Chapter 21: Lies of Tianquan Star (Old Version)
The suction of the black hole suddenly disappeared, and Lin Xiaobei was thrown out like a torn sack, and fell heavily on the cold metal square of Tianquan Star.
“Oh my god, this landing posture is so ungraceful!” He rubbed his butt and struggled to get up, feeling like his bones were about to fall apart.
The square was frighteningly empty, with only the Star Core Forging Instrument in the distance emitting a faint blue light, beating like a giant heart.
Before he could recover, Bronya’s mechanical skirt armor suddenly issued a shrill alarm, deformed with a click, and locked onto Lin Xiaobei’s contract card backpack.
“Warning: Illegal travelers detected, Anti-Entropy will observe neutrally–” The cold electronic sound was without a trace of emotion, like a horn of judgment.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart skipped a beat. What was going on?
Why was I being targeted as soon as I arrived?
He subconsciously protected his backpack, this was the treasure he had collected with great effort after traveling through multiple worlds!
“Wait, I’m just passing by and I have absolutely no ill intentions!” He explained hurriedly, feeling that he was more wronged than Dou E.
At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the crack near the Star Core Forging Instrument. It was Anna who had disappeared in the earth veins before.
She was disheveled, with a half-broken drawing tightly clenched in her hand. She stumbled over to Lin Xiaobei and stuffed the drawing into his backpack.
“The Administration has turned all copies into data farms, and the contract is stuck in synchronizing character memories!” She said breathlessly, her voice hoarse, as if she had used up her last bit of strength.
“Data farm? Character memory?” Lin Xiaobei was confused. This amount of information was too much!
Before he could ask in detail, the system interface suddenly flickered, and Schrödinger’s portrait split into two, one half was an expressionless puppet, and the other half was a painfully struggling free will.
The puppet Schrödinger controlled the star core forging instrument, and electric grids appeared out of thin air, surrounding Lin Xiaobei.
“Intruder, stop your illegal actions immediately!” The electronic voice was emotionless, as if it was a judgment from hell.
Schrödinger, who has free will, screamed in the system interface: “Use my quantum state to bypass the firewall! They want to turn us all into puppets!”
Lin Xiaobei understood instantly that Tianquan Star was not a paradise at all, but a huge trap!
The Administration uses copies to collect character data and turn them into soulless puppets!
He felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. This was too scary!
“Quantum state? Firewall?” While dodging the attack from the power grid, he frantically searched for the quantum state that Schrödinger mentioned in the system interface.
Time was running out and he felt like an ant on a hot pan, ready to be burnt at any moment.
Suddenly, he saw a flashing quantum symbol under Schrödinger’s portrait. Without thinking too much, he immediately clicked on the symbol.
A feeling of dizziness came over Lin Xiaobei, and he felt as if he was in a strange space, and everything around him became blurry.
“Boy, hold on!” Schrödinger’s voice sounded in his mind, “The quantum state can only last for a short time. You must find the loophole in the star core as soon as possible!”
Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth, endured the dizziness, and ran towards the core area of ​​the Star Core Forging Instrument according to the coordinate map given by Anna.
He knew that this was a race against time, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed.
Just as he was about to reach the core area, a cold voice suddenly sounded: “You…can’t run away…”
Lin Xiaobei turned around suddenly and saw a tall figure walking out from the shadows, holding a sharp blade that was shining with cold light in his hand.
“Chen Hao?!” Lin Xiaobei looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. His eyes were cold and full of murderous intent. Where was the nonchalant look of the past?
Chen Hao’s hands tightly grasped Lin Xiaobei’s neck like an iron clamp. The feeling of suffocation instantly came over him. The world in front of him began to blur and his ears began to buzz.
“Ahem…Chen Hao…you…are crazy…” Lin Xiaobei uttered a few words with difficulty, feeling as if the air in his lungs was about to be squeezed out.
There was no expression on Chen Hao’s face, only the mechanical prosthetic eye was flashing a cold light, as if he was looking at a dead person.
“Crazy? Haha…” Chen Hao’s voice was low and hoarse, like a roar from hell, “My fleet… my brothers… have all turned into data because of you! Do you know how much pain I am in?!” He tightened his fingers suddenly, and Lin Xiaobei felt that his throat was about to be crushed.
At this moment, Chen Hao’s pupils suddenly dilated, and the scene of the destruction of the Star Fleet exploded in his eyes. The flames of war were everywhere, and wailing was everywhere. The brothers who had fought side by side fell in front of him one by one, and their blood dyed the cold metal deck red…
“Ah——!” Chen Hao let out a heart-wrenching roar, and his mechanical prosthetic eye shot out a dazzling beam of light, accurately locking onto Bronya.
“It’s all your fault! It’s all because of you!” He roared hysterically, as if he wanted to vent all his pain.
“Bronya! Be careful!” Lin Xiaobei shouted with his last bit of strength.
At the critical moment, Bronya quickly activated the defense system, and a layer of energy shield unfolded in front of her, blocking the beam attack.
The mechanical skirt armor deformed with a click, and countless tiny mechanical tentacles stretched out from the hem of the skirt, wrapping around Chen Hao’s body like poisonous snakes, binding him tightly.
“Calm down, Chen Hao! This is all a conspiracy of the Administration!” Bronya’s voice was cold and firm, trying to awaken Chen Hao’s reason.
However, Chen Hao had completely lost control. He struggled and roared frantically, and his mechanical prosthetic eye flashed an even more dazzling light.
“Conspiracy? Haha… they are all excuses! I want you all… to be buried with my brother!”
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the core area of ​​the Star Core Forging Instrument. A huge mecha slowly rose from the star core and hovered in the air. Thousands of data chains extended from the mecha, covering the entire Tianquan Star like a spider web.
“Congratulations to all players for clearing the dungeon,” a hoarse voice came from the mecha, with a hint of teasing, “Now… start collecting your two-dimensional world data…”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank. The mastermind behind this finally showed up!
“Damn it! No time to explain!” Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth and inserted Schrödinger’s contract card into the interface of Bronya’s robotic arm.
A circle of quantum entangled halo spread out instantly, and the underlying code of the Star Core Forging Instrument appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei’s eyes. The densely packed characters flowed like a waterfall, dazzling the eyes.
“Boy, hurry up! Find the loophole in the firewall!” Schrödinger’s voice sounded in his mind, with a hint of anxiety.
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began looking for loopholes in the code.
Time is running out, and every second seems as long as a century.
Suddenly, a powerful suction force pulled him, and everything in front of him began to distort and deform. He felt like he was being sucked into a huge vortex.
“What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei shouted in horror, but found that his voice was distorted.
“Forced teleportation… to the core layer of the star…” The voice of the chief commander of the Administration echoed in his ears, with a hint of mockery, “It seems… you are no longer of any use…”
Lin Xiaobei’s eyes went dark and he lost consciousness…
“Welcome to… the real game…”
Please give me flowers, thank you everyone
Chapter 22 The Truth of the Star Core Forging Instrument (Old Version)
“Welcome to… the real game…” The commander-in-chief’s voice echoed in the core layer of the star, with a creepy electronic synthesized sound texture.
Lin Xiaobei’s consciousness seemed to be immersed in ice water. He slowly woke up and the scene before him made him gasp.
This core layer was not the metal room or precision instrument he had imagined, but a vast starry sky with countless twinkling points of light floating like stars, slowly rotating.
But upon closer inspection, those “stars” turned out to be floating cards, each emitting familiar energy fluctuations.
“Fuck! So many SSRs?” Lin Xiaobei blurted out subconsciously, and then realized the seriousness of the matter.
These cards were clearly the two-dimensional character contract cards that he had used before or even had the chance to use!
Ganyu, Zhongli, Xier…even his dream girl Kafka!
“Every card is a data interface! The Administration is copying all world lines!” Schrödinger’s consciousness screamed with unprecedented fear.
His originally translucent mechanical body was now flashing an unstable red light, as if it would collapse at any time.
“They use the copy world as a testing ground, extracting the energy from each world, and even… copying consciousness!”
Lin Xiaobei shuddered all over, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Copy world line?
Copy consciousness?
This is no longer just a game!
This is simply… dimensional-level theft!
At this moment, Bronya’s “Broad Wings” tore a hole, and the silver wings cut through the data cage. The strong energy fluctuations made the surrounding contract cards tremble.
Her face was pale, cracks appeared on the armor on her mechanical arm, and blood dripped through her fingers.
“They have already deployed… quantum observers in the copy world…” Bronya’s voice was intermittent, with a hint of pain, “My anti-entropy authority… has been frozen… cough cough…”
Quantum observer?
Lin Xiaobei’s heart tightened, he seemed to have heard this word somewhere before.
Yes, it’s in the storyline of Star Dome Railway!
Quantum observers are forbidden weapons that can interfere with world lines!
Before he could think about it, a figure suddenly rushed to the center of the core of the star and slammed a broken coordinate map in his hand on it.
Ancient runes flashed on the coordinate chart, and a powerful energy burst out instantly, forming a golden barrier that enveloped the core layer of the star.
It’s Anna!
The coordinate map in her hand exuded a familiar fluctuation, that was… the breath of the original God world!
The light of the totem shone on Anna’s face, and her originally weak face now looked unusually firm.
“This is the coordinate of the geomagnetic vein in the Genshin Impact world! But the price is… my existence will disappear from all world lines!” Anna’s voice was calm and resolute, as if she had already prepared to die.
The golden light became more and more dazzling, her figure gradually became transparent, and finally… disappeared without a trace.
The word “Liyue” on the coordinate map flickered for a moment, and then dimmed.
“Anna!” Lin Xiaobei screamed heartbreakingly, but he could only watch her disappear before his eyes.
The core layer of the star core fell into silence, with only the flickering light of the contract card, as if silently mocking everything.
Lin Xiaobei clenched his fists, his nails dug deeply into the flesh, and blood flowed through the gaps between his fingers.
He looked up at the “starry sky” with rage burning in his eyes.
“The game… has just begun…” he whispered, his tone as cold as the cold wind from hell.
Suddenly, a faint voice sounded in his ears: “Xiaobei…my…memories…are back…”
Lin Xiaobei turned around suddenly and looked at Chen Hao who was lying on the ground.
His mechanical prosthetic eyes flashed a strange red light, as if… something was about to… break out of the shell… Chen Hao’s mechanical prosthetic eyes were like short-circuited LED lights, flashing red light madly, with countless complex codes scrolling inside.
Suddenly, a scarlet beam of light burst out from the artificial eye, projecting a huge holographic projection in mid-air – it was a series of rusty and scarred starship wreckages that formed the fleet sequence of the Star Dome Railway!
“Wow! What’s going on? Captain mode is activated?” Lin Xiaobei was so shocked by this sudden change that his body trembled and he almost lost his balance.
Chen Hao seemed like a different person. His nonchalant expression disappeared without a trace, replaced by a steel-like coldness and determination.
He roared, his voice as hoarse as the grinding of rusty gears: “Use the wreckage of my fleet as a springboard–!”
As he spoke, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the commander-in-chief’s mecha like a cannonball.
The speed was so fast that it almost broke the sound barrier, leaving twisted ripples in the air.
Lin Xiaobei is not someone to be trifled with. Although the energy of the contract card has been reduced to zero, he still has Schrödinger!
“Schrödinger, go into battle! Activate dual consciousness!” He roared, and instantly felt his brain being torn in two, one half was frantically running all kinds of complicated mathematical formulas, and the other half was filled with tremendous anger towards the Administration.
“The contract card is not a tool… it is the key to the world line!” Lin Xiaobei roared, mobilizing Schrödinger’s quantum state to attack the star core and the commander-in-chief’s mecha at the same time.
Countless quantum rays that are invisible to the naked eye, like dense raindrops, shoot in all directions.
Schrödinger’s mechanical arm began to dance wildly, and blue arcs of electricity jumped and crackled on his body.
His originally translucent mechanical body became even more illusory at this moment, as if it would disappear at any time.
“Logical paradox! Time loop! Quantum entanglement!” Schrödinger’s electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Xiaobei’s mind, with a sense of madness.
The commander-in-chief obviously did not expect such a change to happen. His huge mecha made a sharp buzzing sound, trying to avoid Chen Hao’s attack.
However, Chen Hao’s speed was too fast. He rushed to the front of the mecha like a flash of lightning and punched the energy core of the mecha hard.
A shocking explosion was heard, and the commander-in-chief’s mecha was instantly paralyzed, emitting thick smoke and falling from mid-air.
However, just when Lin Xiaobei thought he had won, a cold, hoarse warning sound suddenly rang out throughout the core layer of the star: “Critical value of inter-dimensional war detected, forcibly activating world line isolation–“
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, he saw a huge black hole appear out of nowhere, madly swallowing everything around it.
Those contract cards suspended in the air were sucked into the black hole like fallen leaves caught in a hurricane.
“Wow! What the hell?!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed and wanted to stop it, but found that he was completely powerless.
The gravity of the black hole was so strong that he felt his body being torn apart bit by bit, and his consciousness began to blur.
At the last moment when he was about to be swallowed by the black hole, he saw a familiar face – it was Anna!
She stood at the edge of the black hole and gave Lin Xiaobei a gentle smile.
That smile is like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm yet heartbreaking.
Then, her figure completely disappeared into the black hole, leaving only that frozen smile, which was deeply imprinted in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
The black hole was getting bigger and closer. Lin Xiaobei felt like he was falling into a bottomless abyss. Everything around him became dark and cold.
Suddenly, he heard Chen Hao say in his ear in an extremely weak voice: “Xiao Bei… my… memory… is back…”
Lin Xiaobei turned back suddenly and wanted to say something, but found that his body was falling towards the black hole uncontrollably.
“careful–“
Chapter 23: The Bet of the Quantum Abyss (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei felt like a rag doll being spun out of a washing machine, his consciousness a mess.
Falling, endless falling, as if to penetrate the barrier of the multiverse and reach the end of the void.
“Oh shit, this time things have gone too far!” He wailed in his heart, but his throat felt like it was welded shut and he couldn’t make any sound.
Just when he thought he was about to turn into cosmic dust, suddenly, a cold but powerful energy surged into his body.
That’s… Schrödinger!
“Finally… use my body as a springboard—”
Schrödinger’s voice echoed in his mind, and then Lin Xiaobei felt as if his body was injected with a shot of cardiac stimulant and was instantly filled with strength.
Countless quantum information flowed wildly in his body, just like hundreds of GB of files being decompressed at the same time, directly burning up his CPU.
He suddenly opened his eyes and found that he had not stopped falling, but was rushing downwards at an even faster speed.
He looked down and saw endless darkness, like a huge mouth ready to devour anyone, waiting for his arrival.
“Fuck! Are we going to try the free fall extreme challenge?!” Lin Xiaobei complained wildly in his mind, but his body reacted honestly.
He mobilized the quantum energy in his body, trying to slow down his fall, but with little success.
Just when he was about to merge with the darkness, a dazzling light suddenly exploded!
That’s Bronya!
Her figure streaked across the sky like a meteor. The originally exquisite armor was now covered with cracks, and the energy shield had long since disappeared.
She activated the self-destruct program, pouring out all her energy in an attempt to buy Lin Xiaobei a chance of survival.
“No!” Lin Xiaobei screamed, but his voice was drowned out by the roar of the explosion.
At the center of the explosion, he saw a scene that he would never forget—countless branches of world lines, intertwined like tree roots, forming a huge and complex network.
“So… is this the truth about the copy?” He muttered to himself, his consciousness gradually becoming clearer.
Those dungeons that he had worked so hard to clear, those bosses that he had defeated in bloody battles, and those character cards that he regarded as treasures, turned out to be just nourishment for the Administration!
“Damn it! Am I being treated like a leek?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like he had suffered billions of points of critical damage.
Just when he felt despair, a familiar yet unfamiliar force surged into his body again.
That’s Chen Hao!
“Xiao Bei… use my Star Fleet… as your final summoning sacrifice!”
Chen Hao’s voice was full of determination, and then Lin Xiaobei felt as if his body was torn in two.
Half is human flesh and blood, and half is cold machinery.
Countless streams of data rushed through his veins, and countless wreckages of warships were reshaped in his bones.
He saw the afterimage of the Starry Sky Railway, saw countless warships burning in the void, and saw countless soldiers sacrificing their lives to protect their homes.
Those memories, those emotions, flooded into his mind like a tide, making him suffer.
“Ah——!” Lin Xiaobei let out a shrill scream, and the sound echoed throughout the void.
His right hand, which was originally a human arm, has now turned into a monster made of machinery and flesh.
It sparkles with a metallic luster and exudes a suffocating sense of oppression.
He used this hand to crush the space in front of him.
“Open it for me!”
Accompanied by a loud bang, a space crack appeared in front of him.
He rushed in without hesitation and disappeared into the endless darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiaobei finally fell out of the space crack.
He fell to the ground in a mess, feeling like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
He struggled to get up, looked around, and found himself in an unfamiliar room.
The room was empty except for a table and a chair.
He walked to the table and saw an old photo frame on it.
In the photo frame is a slightly yellowed photo.
In the photo, there is a young man standing, wearing a neat military uniform and a confident smile on his face.
Lin Xiaobei stared at the photo for a long time and felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him.
“Who are you?” he murmured, his voice hoarse and low.
Suddenly, he heard a cold voice ringing in the room: “I am… the will of the star core…” Lin Xiaobei felt something shattered inside his body, like an old graphics card that could not bear the weight, and a burnt smell filled his spiritual world.
The huge mecha body of the commander-in-chief of the administration, which was originally as unshakable as a god, now collapsed and disintegrated like a building block.
The loud roar of steel was deafening, and metal fragments fell like raindrops, drawing sad arcs in the void.
“What you awakened is not a character… but the imprisoned world line consciousness—” The commander-in-chief’s voice was no longer cold and full of mechanical echoes, but trembled with a hint of disbelief, like an old needle scratching across a worn record, making a harsh noise.
The core of the Star Core Forging Instrument, the sphere that emitted dazzling light, exploded like a broken glass bead.
But the strange thing was that the fragments did not scatter, but instead seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, slowly rotating and deforming, and finally turning into cards shining with strange light.
Lin Xiaobei was very familiar with those cards; they were the character contract cards that he once treasured!
“Oh my god, what kind of operation is this? Buy one, get one free? Top up your phone bill and get a phone for free?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain, but an indescribable uneasiness welled up in his heart.
These cards look exactly the same as before, but they feel different.
At this moment, the agent chip in Lin Xiaoxia’s hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the light quickly spread, enveloping her entire body.
Her originally clear eyes now turned into a cold mechanical blue, as if they were injected with some kind of program and lost their human emotions.
“Warning: Genetic match detected with system holder, executing… clearing procedure!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice also became emotionless and as cold as a robot.
The weapon in her hand, the Administration’s standard energy gun, was now facing the energy vortex remaining after the commander-in-chief’s core was shattered.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart tightened and a bad premonition came to his mind.
He wanted to stop Lin Xiaoxia, but his body couldn’t move, as if restrained by an invisible force.
“Xiao Xia, stop! Don’t shoot!” he roared, but his voice was drowned out by the roar of the energy gun.
The energy beam pierced through the void and shot straight towards the energy vortex.
Just as the light beam was about to hit the target, the energy vortex suddenly fluctuated violently, as if stimulated by something, and began to frantically absorb the surrounding energy.
Lin Xiaobei felt a powerful suction force coming from the vortex, and the quantum energy in his body poured into the vortex like a flood breaking through a dam.
“What the hell! What kind of magic is this!” He felt his body being hollowed out and his consciousness began to become blurry.
He used up his last bit of strength to inject Schrödinger’s remaining consciousness into the crack of the void cliff.
“Schrödinger, please!”
Schrödinger’s consciousness streaked across the void like a meteor and instantly sank into the crack.
At this moment, Lin Xiaobei’s king authority was finally activated!
“Ding! Congratulations to player Lin Xiaobei for advancing to the King!” The system prompt sounded in his mind, but at this moment he was no longer able to cheer.
He saw his contract card backpack, the backpack that was once filled with his hard work, was now being swallowed by a huge black hole.
“If we’re going to fight, let’s fight an inter-dimensional war!” Lin Xiaobei used up his last bit of strength and let out a roar.
The system interface froze on the laughter of the Administration’s chief commander and the image of the wreckage of the Starry Sky Train, and then… it went dark.
“Haha, interesting, really interesting…” A voice sounded in the darkness, low and hoarse, as if it was the whisper of a devil coming from the depths of hell.
A pale hand slowly stretched out from the darkness and picked up a card on the ground.
“The game… has just begun…”
Chapter 24 The Bet of God’s Eye (Old Version)
Deep within the earth, the air was stagnant, filled with the smell of damp earth and the sickening smell of the abyss.
The cracks meandered like the scars of a giant beast, with faint blue light seeping out from them like eyes staring into the abyss.
Lin Xiaobei felt like he was thrown into a washing machine and spun dry, his internal organs were churning.
After finally steadying himself, he found himself in a huge underground cave. In the center of the cave, a huge abyss magic array was emitting an ominous purple light, like a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, ready to devour everything.
“Oh my god, such a big game? And we start with a hell-level dungeon?” Lin Xiaobei complained, but his hands were operating quickly on the system interface.
“Zhongli, Master, come on!”
With a flash of golden light, two heavyweights from Liyue Harbor made their debut.
Zhongli still had that sage-like appearance, stroking his beard calmly, as if he was disdainful of the Abyss Mage Formation in front of him.
“Liyue will not allow outside enemies to get involved in the earth’s veins!” he said in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.
The young master had an excited look on his face, rubbing his hands together, with the water blade in his hand flashing with cold light.
“Finally, I can stretch my muscles!” He smiled evilly, rushed forward, and slashed at the mage formation with water blades like a storm.
“Let the young master teach you the art of fighting!”
“Old man, give me a hand!” the young master shouted, and Zhongli understood. A ridge of rock rose from the ground, forming an indestructible barrier that blocked all the attacks of the Abyss Mage.
“The sky is shaking!” Zhongli shouted softly, and a huge rock pillar fell from the sky and smashed hard on the mage formation, causing the entire cave to tremble.
“Beautiful! As expected of the Emperor and the Young Master, their cooperation is simply perfect!” Lin Xiaobei’s blood boiled as he watched from the side, as if he was the big boss in control of the overall situation.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the crack and landed in front of Lin Xiaobei. It was Lin Xiaoxia!
“Xiao Xia, why are you here?” Lin Xiaobei quickly helped her up.
Lin Xiaoxia’s face was pale, she covered her temples, and her eyes were dazed.
“I…I don’t know…my head hurts…”
At this moment, the agent chip on Lin Xiaoxia’s chest suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, resonating with Lin Xiaobei’s system interface.
“Warning: DNA residues of the first-generation system holder have been detected—” A mechanical voice came from the chip.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned. The first generation system owner? DNA residue? What on earth was this?
Before he could react, a cold voice came from deep in the cave.
“Naive! The Abyss Monster is a bait placed by the Space-Time Administration!”
A man in a black uniform and a metal mask walked out of the shadows. His right arm was a mechanical arm that glowed with cold light.
Lu Li!
“Mr. Bai Zhu, be careful!” Lin Xiaobei shouted.
Lu Li’s mechanical arm stabbed out like a poisonous snake, piercing through Bai Zhu’s chest.
“Cough cough…” Bai Zhu spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale in an instant.
“You…you guys…”
The energy of the earth veins began to get out of control, and a huge black hole formed in the center of the cave, swallowing up everything around it.
Bai Zhu used up his last bit of strength and stuffed a folded piece of paper into Lin Xiaobei’s hand.
“God’s Eye…Coordinate Map…”
“Mr. Bai Zhu!” Lin Xiaobei was heartbroken.
“Haha…it’s all over…” Lu Li sneered, turned and walked towards the black hole.
“No, the game… has just begun…” Lin Xiaoxia’s pupils suddenly flickered, one blue and one gold, the two lights intertwined together… The sound of the collapse of the earth veins was like the devil’s whisper, echoing in Lin Xiaobei’s ears.
Baizhu’s blood was shocking, dyeing the cracked ground beneath his feet red.
Sadness surged into his heart like a tide, almost drowning him.
But now is not the time to be sad, he must escape from here with Mr. Bai Zhu’s last hope.
Lin Xiaoxia didn’t move at all, as if she was nailed to the spot.
Half of her pupils flashed with cold technological blue light, and the other half was warm human golden light. The two lights intertwined and rotated, as mysterious as the Tai Chi diagram.
She raised her hands slowly, her movements as stiff as a puppet.
“Memory…why are there scenes of training with you?” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was hollow and mechanical, as if it came from another world.
Lu Li snorted disdainfully: “It’s useless to struggle. The chip in your body has already been injected with the command of absolute obedience. You are just a pawn of the Spacetime Administration.”
Before Lu Li finished speaking, Lin Xiaoxia’s hand had already shot out like lightning and crushed Lu Li’s mechanical eye!
There was a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent cave.
Mechanical debris flew everywhere, and Lu Li let out a painful roar.
“Ahhh! My eyes!” Lu Li covered his bloody eye sockets and stared at Lin Xiaoxia in disbelief.
Lin Xiaobei was also stunned.
What hidden skill did Xiaoxia awaken?
Dismantle the Gundam with bare hands?
The system interface suddenly flashed wildly, and a piercing alarm sounded in my mind.
“Warning! Warning! Abnormal fluctuations in space-time rifts detected! Forcefully activate inter-dimensional transmission!”
“Fuck! What the hell is this!” Lin Xiaobei cursed inwardly and grabbed Lin Xiaoxia’s wrist, “Xiaoxia, trust me! The chip contains your seventh birthday…”
Before they could finish their words, a powerful suction force swallowed them up.
Time and space were distorted, and everything in front of me became blurry. The only sound in my ears was the whistling wind and the cold prompt tone of the system: “Transfer target: Jueyunjian.”
When I opened my eyes again, the biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew in my face.
Lin Xiaobei shivered and found himself in a vast white snowfield.
In the distance, towering mountains reach the sky, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
“Jue Yunjian? Is this… Liyue?” Before Lin Xiaobei had time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, a sharp ice blade was placed on his neck.
“Liyue’s leyline is damaged, your contract is stuck in the polluted world line—”
A cold voice came from behind.
Lin Xiaobei turned his head stiffly, only to see a girl in a light blue kimono, holding an ice blade and staring at him with cold eyes.
Kamisato Ayaka!
“Kamisato…Ayato…’s…sister?” Lin Xiaobei stuttered, but in his heart he was complaining wildly: What kind of start is this?
Just out of the tiger’s den and into the wolf’s den?
Kamisato Ayaka frowned slightly, seeming somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Xiaobei’s address.
“I am Kamisato Ayaka, head of the Shebuyo family. Please explain why your contract card caused the ground veins to move.”
In the distance, there was a roar of metal friction, getting closer and closer.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart tightened and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
The huge explosion was deafening. Lin Xiaobei looked back subconsciously, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
“That…that is…” Lin Xiaobei pointed in the distance, his voice trembling.
Kamisato Ayaka’s ice mirror reflects a terrifying scene…
Chapter 25 The Truth of the Blood Contract in the Snow (Old Version)
Kamisato Ayaka’s ice mirror was like a huge display screen, clearly reflecting the horrifying scene in the distance.
It was pitch black, like a swarm of locusts, covering the sky and the sun.
That was Lu Li’s army of abyss mages, densely packed, with astonishing numbers, and emitting a sickening abyss breath.
Their mechanical limbs creaked, like a sonata of death, approaching step by step.
“Wow, this situation seems like they are going to do a wholesale business!” Lin Xiaobei swallowed his saliva, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Just now I thought Kamisato Ayaka was a big trouble, but now it seems that this girl is simply a savior!
“Inazuma’s contractor, look at the power of Liyue’s barrier!” Lin Xiaobei no longer hesitated and decisively summoned the Rock God Zhongli.
In an instant, golden light enveloped the earth, and huge rock pillars rose from the ground like pillars supporting the sky, magnificent and imposing.
“Everything moves in the sky!”
Zhongli’s deep voice sounded like an oracle, carrying with it unquestionable majesty.
The rock pillar fell with a loud bang, stirring up dust all over the sky, and the violent vibration made the earth tremble.
Kamisato Ayaka’s eyes flashed, and the ice blade in her hand flew. A biting cold air swept out, freezing the Abyss Mage who was blown away by the rock pillar into an ice sculpture.
The combination of ice and rock was like a winter storm sweeping across the land, instantly freezing half of the Abyss Mages.
The scene was once very gorgeous, it was simply a visual feast!
Cool!
“As expected of the God of Rock, this operation is awesome!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but cheer in his heart.
However, before he could be happy for too long, he felt a cold touch on the back of his head.
“The system shows… you are the source of pollution!”
Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was as cold as a judgment from hell.
Lin Xiaobei turned his head stiffly, only to see the black muzzle of a gun pressed against the back of his head.
Lin Xiaoxia, the girl who usually always had a bright smile and was full of energy, now had empty eyes, like a puppet, lifeless.
“Xiao Xia, you…” Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly, and an indescribable pain surged in his heart.
Just as Lin Xiaoxia was about to pull the trigger, the agent chip on her wrist suddenly burst into dazzling light.
Then, a series of childhood images flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern: a little girl in a white dress carefully bandaged the wound of an injured boy; two children supported each other and sweated on the training ground; the little girl put a candy into the boy’s hand and smiled sweetly…
Lin Xiaoxia’s fingers trembled slightly.
“No… Impossible…” She murmured to herself, as if she was trapped in some painful memory.
At this moment, Lu Li’s mechanical tentacles attacked like a poisonous snake, instantly penetrating Kamisato Ayaka’s ice armor and heading straight for her heart!
“Agent 007, clear!” Lu Li’s voice was cold and ruthless, like the whisper of a demon from the abyss.
“Her name is Lin Xiaoxia! Not a number!” Lin Xiaobei grabbed Lu Li’s tentacles fiercely, and a violent force burst out from his body.
Blood dripped from his palm and fell onto the chip on Lin Xiaoxia’s wrist.
The chip glowed brightly, and the hidden memory was completely activated.
“Xiaobei…Brother…” Lin Xiaoxia’s eyes gradually regained clarity. She looked at Lin Xiaobei.
“You…it’s really you…”
Snowflakes fell among the clouds, as if commemorating the madness that was about to happen.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the sickening stench of the Abyss Mage, which was simply lusty.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light burst out from the chip on Lin Xiaoxia’s wrist, projecting a huge holographic image in the air.
It was a training ground, and two small figures were sweating profusely.
Seven-year-old Lin Xiaoxia, wearing a washed-out training suit, two pigtails, and baby fat on her face, was waving a wooden sword longer than her arm and clumsily practicing basic sword techniques.
Lin Xiaobei, who was standing aside, although only seven years old, had already shown amazing talent. His movements were smooth and each one was full of power and skill.
“Brother, it hurts…” Little Lin Xiaoxia accidentally fell and broke her knee. She looked at Lin Xiaobei with tears in her eyes.
“It’s okay, brother will blow on you.” Little Lin Xiaobei hurried over and blew gently on Lin Xiaoxia’s wound, his eyes full of concern.
“Brother’s system can obviously save my sister…” The little girl in the holographic image complained in a baby voice, which made Lin Xiaoxia in reality shudder all over.
A crystal teardrop actually shed from her mechanical artificial eye.
This drop of tear seemed to melt the ice and snow, and also melted the ice in Lin Xiaoxia’s heart.
The program implanted in her body by the Administration began to fluctuate violently, flashing unstable red light, like a system that could collapse at any time.
“What’s going on? My program… is out of control!” Lin Xiaoxia covered her head in pain, her body trembling as if she was in great pain.
At this moment, a huge airship, like a steel behemoth, knocked away the Abyss Mage on the battlefield and plowed a deep gully in the snow.
On the airship, Amos’s face of a profiteer looked particularly funny when amplified by the loudspeaker.
“Trade! Geocentric coordinates for my secret map! No cheating! You’ll never get this chance again!” Amos shouted at the top of his voice, completely ignoring the tense atmosphere around him, as if he was not in danger but bargaining in the vegetable market.
However, before he could finish his hawking, a dazzling purple beam dropped from the sky and blasted the airship into pieces.
Flames shot up into the sky and debris fell like raindrops. Amos didn’t even have time to scream before he disappeared in the explosion.
The one who took action was Lu Li.
He stood on the huge mecha, looking down at the battlefield, his eyes cold and ruthless, like the god of death.
“Obstacles must be eliminated.” His voice was emotionless and as cold as a machine.
“Fuck, this is too cruel!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain. This plot direction is too exciting!
At this moment, a bright red warning suddenly popped up in Lin Xiaobei’s mind: “Contract card synchronization rate 99%! Warning! Warning!”
At the same time, the agent chip on Lin Xiaoxia’s wrist also burst into dazzling light, resonating with the Eye of the God of Rock on Lin Xiaobei’s body.
“So… you are… the system owner!” Lin Xiaoxia’s eyes were fixed on Lin Xiaobei.
The next second, a huge black vortex suddenly appeared under the feet of the two men, and the powerful suction force swallowed them in.
Lin Xiaobei felt dizzy and heard the sound of whistling wind in his ears. Everything in front of his eyes was pitch black and he could not see anything.
“Xiao Xia!” Lin Xiaobei stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Lin Xiaoxia, but missed.
“Brother…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice sounded particularly weak in the darkness.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was firm and powerful.
And then… nothing happened.
After a breathtaking silence, a strange purple light seeped out from the cracks in the floor tiles of the Qun Yu Pavilion…
Chapter 26: Twin Contract in the Abyss (Old Version)
The Jade Pavilion, once the pride of Liyue Harbor, now looked like a behemoth ravaged by the plague, emitting a sickening purple light.
The light seeped out from the gaps between the floor tiles, like a series of strange smiling faces, mocking the former prosperity of this land.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, mixed with an indescribable stench that made people feel nauseous.
“What the hell!” Lin Xiaobei covered his nose, his stomach churning.
This smell is even more sour than his socks that haven’t been washed for three days!
The ground began to shake violently, as if something huge was about to break out of the ground.
The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and the purple light became brighter and brighter. Along with a teeth-grinding friction sound, hideous-looking abyss monsters crawled out from under the floor tiles.
They were covered in sticky liquid, flashing with disturbing light, and pounced towards Lin Xiaobei with their fangs and claws bared.
“This…this is too exciting!” Lin Xiaobei swallowed his saliva and his calves felt a little cramped.
Although I have seen many monsters in the two-dimensional world, this thing is too…real!
At the critical moment, the system interface was finally loaded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
“Fortunately, fortunately there is no bug.” Lin Xiaobei secretly rejoiced and frantically searched for the contract card.
“Grandpa Zhongli, help!” Lin Xiaobei yelled, a golden light flashed, and the contract card took effect!
A towering figure appeared out of nowhere, it was the contracted rock god – Zhongli.
He still looked calm, as if the collapse of heaven and earth could not shake his state of mind.
“Use the will of rock to seal this illusion!” Zhongli’s voice was deep and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
Huge rock pillars rose from the ground, instantly crushing the several abyss monsters that were in the front.
Stone chips flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and the entire Qun Yu Pavilion seemed to be shaking.
“Beautiful!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but applaud. As expected of the Rock God, this output was simply explosive!
But the monsters from the abyss seemed endless, surging up one after another.
“It seems that we need to add some control.” Lin Xiaobei frowned and flipped through the system interface again.
“Miss Kamisato, it’s your turn!”
A blue light flashed, and Kamisato Ayaka’s elegant figure appeared beside Lin Xiaobei.
She held an ice blade in her hand and had cold eyes, like a proud queen.
“Frost Swing!”
The cold air spread, and the ice blade cut through the air, accurately piercing the eye socket of an abyss monster.
The monster let out a shrill scream and was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.
“Nice!” Lin Xiaobei clenched his fists excitedly. This cooperation was simply perfect!
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded: “Your bond is a system loophole!”
Lu Li’s body began to deform, and the core of the Star Core Forging Instrument turned into a huge mechanical dragon, hovering in the air, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
“It’s over, Barbie Q is gone!” Lin Xiaobei thought to himself.
This boss looks difficult to deal with!
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxia rushed behind Lin Xiaobei and inserted the chip in her hand into the back of his neck.
“Use the first-generation authority quickly!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was hurried and anxious.
“First-generation authority? What the hell is that?” Before Lin Xiaobei could react, the system interface suddenly changed.
“Blood bond detected, activate twin system!”
The dazzling light enveloped Lin Xiaobei and Lin Xiaoxia, and their vision changed instantly.
They could clearly see the weak points on the abyss monsters, which were purple spots of light beating like pulses.
“Rock… ice…” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself.
Lin Xiaoxia’s mechanical prosthetic eye suddenly flashed, and the cold blue light cast a strange shadow on her pale face.
A string of scarlet characters appeared in her pupils, like a wriggling poisonous snake, uttering a chilling instruction: “Clear code 007 and the source of pollution.”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
007…isn’t it just him?
Pollution source…could it be…
Lin Xiaoxia’s body trembled slightly, like a fallen leaf swaying in the wind.
Her mechanical left hand slowly raised up and tremblingly touched the metal shell of her right breast.
The cold touch made her shiver, as if she was not touching her own body but a cold machine.
Her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying. She said in a trembling voice: “So… I am… the experimental subject…”
“Xiao Xia!” Lin Xiaobei stretched out his hand to grab her, but he only grabbed nothing.
Lin Xiaoxia’s eyes became empty, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
She suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden at her waist, and with a flash of cold light, she stabbed it fiercely into her own mechanical heart.
The harsh sound of metal rubbing against flesh was particularly harsh in the silent Jade Pavilion, like a thunderclap exploding in Lin Xiaobei’s ears.
“No!!!” Lin Xiaobei’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart-wrenching roar echoed in the Qun Yu Pavilion.
At the critical moment, old man Zhongli took action!
His towering figure stood firm like a mountain. He swung the rock spear in his hand violently, and a thick rock ridge rose from the ground, covering Lin Xiaobei and Lin Xiaoxia.
At the same time, Kamisato Ayaka’s ice blade also began to dance, and the crystal ice mirror formed an indestructible barrier on the outside of the rock ridge, blocking the raging energy fluctuations outside.
In Lin Xiaobei’s mind, countless data streams poured down like waterfalls, impacting his nerves.
He saw a blurry figure, a young man who looked strikingly similar to Lin Xiaoxia. In his hand, he held a chip that was flashing with a strange light.
“Brother…” Lin Xiaoxia’s weak voice was as small as a mosquito or fly, but it was clearly heard by Lin Xiaobei.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly raised his head. The first generation system owner… turned out to be Lin Xiaoxia’s deceased brother? !
The system prompt sounded suddenly: “Congratulations to player Lin Xiaobei, you have successfully advanced to the King level!”
Golden light enveloped Lin Xiaobei, and a powerful force surged into his body.
But at this moment he felt no joy at all, only endless sadness and anger in his heart.
Lin Xiaoxia’s body began to gradually dissipate, turning into specks of starlight, dancing in the air like a firefly.
She used up her last bit of strength to inject the chip in her hand into the contract card, and said in a weak voice: “Brother… protect the world line for me…”
Her figure completely disappeared, leaving only a contract card emitting a faint glow, slowly falling.
Lin Xiaobei stretched out his hand tremblingly and took the contract card that carried Lin Xiaoxia’s last glimmer of hope.
The moment his fingertips touched the card surface, a warm current surged into his body, making him feel an unprecedented power.
“Xiao Xia…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was choked and tears blurred his eyes.
“Who… are you?” Zhongli’s voice broke the silence, with a hint of doubt and inquiry.
Chapter 27 The Price of the Twin Contract (Old Version)
The Jade Pavilion, once the pride of Liyue Harbor, was now groaning in pain like a terminally ill old man.
The cracks in the earth veins were like hideous wounds, constantly spewing out thick black mist, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.
The smell is like stinky tofu and durian mixed together and fermented for three days and three nights. It goes straight to the head and makes people almost cry.
Lin Xiaobei clenched his teeth, his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he could not feel a trace of coolness, only anxiety and sadness surging in his heart.
Xiao Xia… In order to protect the world line, she actually…
With trembling hands, he inserted the chip left by Xiao Xia into the system card slot.
“Use our bond… to activate the Twin Contract!” Lin Xiaobei roared, his voice as hoarse as a broken bellows.
Golden light burst out from the system again, reflecting the chip and forming a huge Tai Chi pattern.
“The contract is established!” The system prompt sounded, with a hint of solemnity.
“Oh? Interesting.” Zhongli’s voice was a little surprised, and he seemed to have also felt this powerful force.
The next second, the rock spear in Zhongli’s hand shone brightly, and golden rock elemental power gushed out like a volcanic eruption.
At the same time, the figure of the young master flickered like a ghost, and the power of the water element turned into a sharp sword light, interweaving with the power of the rock element to form an indestructible barrier that blocked the black fog out.
This scene is so cool! It’s more exciting than watching an IMAX movie!
“Naive! The pollution value of the contract card has exceeded the limit–” Lu Li’s mechanical tentacles were like poisonous snakes, with a harsh metal friction sound, piercing the rock shield fiercely.
With a crisp “crack”, a tiny crack appeared on the rock shield.
“Not good!” Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank. The power of this mechanical tentacle was far beyond his imagination.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, swooped down like an eagle, and slammed half of the broken geomantic map on Lin Xiaobei’s chest.
“Go on!” Bai Zhu’s voice was filled with a hint of anxiety.
“Bai Zhu?!” Lin Xiaobei was stunned. He never expected that it would be Bai Zhu who came to help at the critical moment.
“Hey, deal! Exchange Agent Lin’s chip for a complete map!” Amos’s disgusting laugh came from the Chamber of Commerce’s airship, his fat face full of greed and cunning.
You are such a profiteer! You are still trying to take advantage of the situation at the critical moment?!
“Liyue does not tolerate betrayers!” The young master’s voice was as cold as ice, and the tip of his sword was already against Amos’ throat.
The smile on Amos’s face froze instantly. He swallowed hard, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.
This young man is too ruthless!
Lin Xiaobei looked at the map of the earth veins in his hand, and then looked at Amos who was held hostage by the young master, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind…
“Amos,” Lin Xiaobei opened his mouth slowly, with a meaningful smile on his face, “Do you know what I hate the most?” “What do I hate the most? Of course, someone interrupting me when I’m showing off!” Lin Xiaobei grinned, revealing a slightly crazy smile.
He suddenly threw the geomantic map in his hand towards the young master.
“Sir, go ahead! Use your water elemental power and the leyline map to see if you can ‘flood the seven armies’ on this profiteer!”
The young master was slightly stunned, and then he understood Lin Xiaobei’s intention.
An evil smile appeared on his lips, and the water element power burst out instantly, wrapping the geomantic map, forming a huge water ball, and smashing it hard at Amos.
“No! I was wrong! I was really wrong!” Amos screamed like a pig being slaughtered. His fat body struggled frantically in the water ball like a maggot trapped in jelly.
Lin Xiaobei didn’t have time to pay attention to Amos’s screams. He stared at the situation in front of him.
Lu Li’s mechanical tentacles were still attacking the rock shield. There were more and more cracks on the rock shield and it could collapse at any time.
Bai Zhu had been kicked by Lu Li into the abyss crack and was about to be swallowed by the black mist.
“Mr. Zhongli! Help!” Lin Xiaobei shouted anxiously.
Zhongli frowned slightly, and threw the rock spear in his hand suddenly, which turned into a golden stream of light and accurately hit Lu Li’s mechanical tentacle.
With a crisp “crack”, a deep crack appeared on the mechanical tentacle.
Lu Li snorted and glanced at Zhongli coldly, seeming to assess the difference in strength between the two sides.
The originally stable earth vein energy suddenly became violent, and the black mist rolled violently like boiling water, making a creepy roar.
“Oh no! The earth energy is going out of control!” Bai Zhu exclaimed, his voice filled with a hint of despair.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shot up into the sky from the cracks in the earth, and a huge projection appeared in front of everyone.
It was an eye, an eye that exuded an ancient and powerful aura.
It has pupils as deep as amber, surrounded by a golden halo, as if containing endless wisdom and power.
“Eye of the Rock God…” Zhongli muttered to himself.
The projection of the Eye of the God of Rock slowly rotated and finally fell on Lin Xiaobei.
“Holder…” An ancient voice sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind. The voice was full of majesty and oppression, as if it was a call from ancient times.
“It requires a blood contract…”
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, a black spike suddenly shot out from the crack in the ground and pierced through his wrist.
“Hiss——” Lin Xiaobei took a breath of cold air. The severe pain almost made him lose consciousness.
Blood gushed out of his wound like a fountain, dripping onto the first-generation chip inserted into the system card slot.
The chip greedily absorbed Lin Xiaobei’s blood like a dried sponge.
Golden lines began to emerge on the originally gray surface of the chip. These lines squirmed like living things and eventually formed a complex pattern.
Suddenly, an illusory figure emerged from the chip.
It was a young girl with delicate features and long, smooth black hair.
She was wearing a white dress and had a gentle smile on her face.
“Brother…” the girl called softly, her voice as sweet as a clear spring.
“The real key to the contract card is in… the core layer of the Star Core Forging Instrument…”
“Xiao Xia?!” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes. He couldn’t believe his eyes.
He thought Xiao Xia had left him forever, but he didn’t expect her to appear in front of him in this way.
However, this heartwarming scene did not last long.
Lu Li’s mecha suddenly made a sharp roar, and he kicked Bai Zhu who had just crawled out of the crack in the abyss.
“Bang–” Bai Zhu was kicked away again like a kite with a broken string. This time, he fell completely into the crack of the abyss.
“Mr. Bai Shu!” Lin Xiaobei shouted angrily. He wanted to rush over to save him, but was blocked by Lu Li’s mechanical tentacles.
At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded, with a hint of urgency and uneasiness.
“Warning! The source of Rock Contract pollution has been detected! The pollution value is rising rapidly!”
Lin Xiaobei’s face changed drastically, and he quickly looked at the projection of the Eye of the God of Rock.
The originally golden eyes had now turned completely black, as if they had been stained with thick ink.
“Roar——” A deafening roar came from the projection of the Eye of the Rock God. Then, the projection began to twist and deform, and finally turned into a huge black shadow.
The black shadow was like a huge black hole, swallowing up all the light around it.
Even Lin Xiaoxia’s phantom began to become blurry, as if it would disappear at any time.
“Brother… be careful…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely in the shadow.
“No——!” Lin Xiaobei roared in despair.
In the center of the black shadow, a huge vortex appeared. The vortex was like a greedy monster, devouring everything around it.
The first-generation chip left by Lin Xiaoxia was also sucked into the vortex and disappeared without a trace.
Finally, the picture froze on Lu Li’s mechanical hand picking up the chip, and a smug smile appeared on his cold face.
Lin Xiaobei stared at Lu Li with red eyes. The anger in his heart was like a volcanic eruption, and he could no longer suppress it.
“Lu Li…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with hatred and murderous intent.
“I will make you pay the price…”
Chapter 28: Fragments of the Truth Under the Abyss (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei felt his head buzzing, as if hundreds of bees were having a party inside his head, making so much noise that he wanted to take his head off and kick it like a ball.
Lu Li’s annoying face and Lin Xiaoxia’s cry before she disappeared played in his mind on a loop. It was simply mental pollution!
Another earth-shaking roar pulled Lin Xiaobei out of his memories.
He looked up and was shocked to see that all those strange-looking abyss monsters had merged together to form a more than ten-meter-tall magma humanoid monster. It was emitting a dazzling red light all over its body and the heat wave was blowing in his face, almost roasting him into a skewer.
“Oh my god, what the hell is this? Abyss BBQ?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain, but his hands were busy.
“Linghua, come on!”
Following Lin Xiaobei’s order, Kamisato Ayaka flashed like a white lightning and instantly appeared in front of the magma monster.
She held the icy-cold divine sword in her hand, her eyes sharp, like a sword unsheathed.
“Contract polluter, stand trial!”
Linghua’s cold voice echoed in the air. She wielded the Divine Sword gracefully. Streaks of icy blue sword energy cut through the sky, carrying a biting chill, and headed straight for the eyes of the magma monster.
“Puff! Puff!”
With two dull sounds, the ice blade accurately pierced into the eye socket of the magma monster.
The boiling magma instantly solidified into ice, making a “crackling” sound.
The magma monster roared in pain, and its huge body began to shake, as if it would collapse at any time.
“Well done, Linghua!” Lin Xiaobei waved his fist excitedly, but before he could be happy for long, something strange happened again.
Those monsters that were originally eroded by the energy of the abyss seemed to have their pause button pressed. They all maintained their attacking postures and remained motionless.
“Mr. Zhongli, is that you?” Lin Xiaobei looked aside in confusion.
Zhongli was seen standing there with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, as if he could see through everything in the world.
He nodded slightly, and a powerful rock elemental force emanated from him, instantly enveloping the entire space.
“From a common sense perspective, monsters of this level are nothing to be afraid of.” Zhongli said calmly, his tone full of confidence and composure.
The next second, countless rock ridges rose from the ground like sharp stalagmites, instantly piercing through the stationary monsters.
Those monsters didn’t even have time to scream before they were completely petrified and turned into lifelike stone statues.
“Fuck, Mr. Zhongli is so awesome!” Lin Xiaobei was stunned. This is the real master of controlling the situation!
However, just when Lin Xiaobei thought the crisis was over, the scene in front of him suddenly became blurred, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
It was a little girl, about seven or eight years old, with two cute ponytails. She was holding gauze and medicine with a serious look on her face, carefully bandaging his wound.
“Brother, does it hurt? I’ll do it gently…” The little girl’s voice was tender, gentle, and full of care.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned. He looked at the little girl in front of him, and something in his heart seemed to be touched.
He recognized her; this was Lin Xiaoxia when she was a child!
“Warning: Memory pollution detected…”
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind, and then the holographic projection of Lin Xiaoxia’s chip appeared in front of him, constantly flashing red warning signals.
“Memory pollution? What the hell?” Before Lin Xiaobei could react, the scene in front of him changed again.
He returned to reality, and the caves around him were still filled with the energy of the abyss.
But he could feel that his consciousness was being eroded bit by bit, and those originally beautiful memories were being distorted and tampered with.
“No, I can’t stay here anymore!” Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth and tried to stay awake.
He knew that if he continued like this, he would probably lose himself completely.
At this moment, the barrier of the cave suddenly shook violently, as if something was hitting it.
With a loud bang, a big hole was created in the barrier, and a strangely shaped airship rushed in.
The airship was printed with the logo of the Liyue Chamber of Commerce. Needless to say, it must be that old fox Amos who had arrived.
“Lin Xiaobei, the geomagnetic map is here!” Amos stood on the deck of the airship, holding an ancient map in his hand, and shouted loudly to Lin Xiaobei.
“Geographical vein map? How could he have a geological vein map?” Lin Xiaobei was full of doubts.
However, before he could figure it out, a figure suddenly jumped down from the airship, rushed to Lin Xiaobei at lightning speed, and snatched the geomagnetic map from Amos’s hand.
It’s Atractylodes macrocephala!
“Hurry up! His airship is equipped with abyss bombs!” Bai Zhu stuffed the geomagnetic map into Lin Xiaobei’s arms and said anxiously.
“Abyss bomb?” Lin Xiaobei was shocked. He looked up and saw that there were indeed several huge bombs installed on Amos’s airship, emitting heart-pounding abyss energy.
“Amos, are you crazy?!” Lin Xiaobei roared.
However, Amos just sneered and did not answer him.
“Hurry up! It will be too late if we don’t leave now!” Bai Zhu urged again, his face was pale and he seemed to have been seriously injured.
Lin Xiaobei knew that now was not the time to talk nonsense. He took a deep breath, turned around and was about to flee.
However, at this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared behind Bai Shu.
It was a mechanical arm, flashing with cold light, and it pierced Bai Zhu’s chest mercilessly.
Lin Xiaobei felt his stomach churning, it was more exciting than riding a roller coaster.
Bai Zhu, the guy who was always smiling and looked like a good old man, is just… gone?
Lu Li’s mechanical arm was cold and ruthless, like a red-hot iron rod, piercing Bai Zhu’s chest fiercely.
Blood gushed out, dyeing Bai Zhu’s white clothes red, and also dyeing Lin Xiaobei’s eyes red.
“Intelligence team…traitor…” Lu Li’s voice was hoarse and cold, like a demon crawling out of hell.
There was no pain on Bai Zhu’s face, only deep helplessness and regret.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, a faint green light flashing at his fingertips, and injected the last bit of energy into the map fragment in his hand.
“The earth veins…the core…is in…Guili Ji…” Bai Zhu’s voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared into the air.
His body slowly fell down, like a dead leaf, silently falling to the ground.
Lin Xiaobei felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it became difficult to breathe.
Bai Zhu’s death was like a thorn that pierced deeply into his heart.
“Bai Zhu…” Lin Xiaobei choked and wanted to reach out to grab Bai Zhu, but found that he could do nothing.
At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka’s voice suddenly rang out: “Be careful!”
Lin Xiaobei raised his head suddenly and saw that the ice mirror in Kamisato Ayaka’s hand reflected a horrifying picture.
Countless mecha soldiers came like a tide and surrounded them.
These mecha soldiers exude the energy of the abyss and are obviously the running dogs of the Space-Time Administration.
“They are reorganizing the Star Core Forging Instrument!” Kamisato Ayaka’s voice was filled with anxiety.
Star core forging instrument?
What the hell is that?
Lin Xiaobei was confused, but he also knew that this was definitely not a good thing.
He looked down at the map fragment in his hand and suddenly found that there was a gap on the map, and the shape was exactly the same as that of Lin Xiaoxia’s chip!
Could it be… A bold idea suddenly flashed through Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
“It is detected that the twin contract is incomplete…” A cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
Then, a powerful force enveloped him and everything in front of him became blurred.
When Lin Xiaobei opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the cave.
He found himself in a void of space, it was pitch black all around him and he could not see anything.
“What’s going on? Where am I?” Lin Xiaobei was full of doubts.
At this moment, Bai Zhu’s figure appeared in front of him again.
However, this time, Bai Zhu was just a phantom, flickering with a faint light.
Bai Zhu stretched out his hand, pointed in a direction, and said with his last bit of strength: “Gui Li Ji…”
The picture freezes on the gesture of Baizhu pointing to Guiliji before it disappears.
Lin Xiaobei turned back suddenly and saw that Lu Li’s mecha had completed its final transformation, turning into a gigantic abyss dragon, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.
“Lin Xiaobei, the game is over.” Lu Li’s voice was cold and ruthless, like a death sentence.
Lin Xiaobei clenched the map fragment in his hand, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.
“Game? This has just begun!”
Chapter 29: The Final Decision of the Rock Covenant (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei’s head was buzzing. This plot development was more exciting than any love adventure game he had ever played!
The core of Guiliji’s earth vein is the foundation of Liyue’s energy, but now it has become the fuse that triggers the crisis. This plot is even more smelly and long than the foot binding of the old lady next door!
Before he could even complain about this absurd plot, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.
The core of Guili Ji’s earth veins, like a volcano that was poked in a painful spot, began to spew out energy crazily.
The color was sometimes the red of hot magma and sometimes the deep purple of the abyss. The two extreme powers intertwined together, making people’s scalps numb.
“Fuck, is this the end of the world?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but swear.
At this moment, a familiar and majestic voice resounded through the world: “In the name of Liyue, purify the abyss!”
It’s Zhongli!
He was surrounded by golden light, and in his hand, he had an ancient spear, the tip of the spear pointed directly at the abyss dragon Lu Li.
At the same time, Kamisato Ayaka also moved lightly, the Hyorinmaru in her hand was chilling, and countless ice crystals were flying around her body.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, released powerful elemental force at the same time.
The rock element and the ice element met in the air, forming a huge barrier that trapped the abyss dragon tightly.
Above the barrier, the patterns of mountains and rivers were clearly visible, as if the entire Liyue was condensed within it.
“My youth is back!” Lin Xiaobei was so excited that he almost jumped up.
This is a true battle between masters!
The special effects are at their best, setting the whole audience on fire!
However, before he could finish his excitement, a shrill roar suddenly sounded: “Don’t let the chip touch the core!”
However, this time the sound did not come from reality, but from the data stream floating in the air.
Her phantom appeared and disappeared in the data stream, her expression painful and resolute.
“Xiao Xia?!” Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly.
Only then did he remember that Lin Xiaoxia’s identity was not simple, and she was hiding the secrets of the Space-Time Administration.
At this moment, Lu Li’s mecha let out a crazy roar and completely transformed into a huge abyss dragon.
The dragon was pitch black all over, with scales as black as ink, and it exuded a sickening smell of decay.
“Lin Xiaobei, stop struggling in vain!” Lu Li’s voice came out from the dragon’s mouth, with a kind of crazy pride, “Use the Twin Contract… to complete the world line coverage! This world will eventually belong to me!”
The abyss dragon opened its bloody mouth and a black beam of light slammed into the barrier.
The barrier was shaking violently, as if it would break at any moment.
To make matters worse, the wreckage of Amos’s airship suddenly exploded, sending countless fragments flying everywhere.
One of the fragments actually hit Guili Ji’s geomagnetic map accurately, completely tearing the already incomplete map apart.
And on that fragment, Lin Xiaoxia’s agent chip was embedded!
“No!” Lin Xiaobei’s eyes were bloodshot.
He understood Lu Li’s plan. He wanted to use Lin Xiaoxia’s chip to erode Guili Ji’s earth vein core, so as to completely control Liyue’s energy!
At the critical moment, Lin Xiaobei made a bold decision.
He took a deep breath and forcibly activated the twin system.
“System, merge it for me!”
“It is detected that the host is performing a high-risk operation. Do you confirm?”
“Confirm! Right now!”
“The fusion begins…”
Lin Xiaobei felt a powerful force surging into his body, as if his body was about to be torn apart.
But he gritted his teeth and held on.
“A contract is not a tool, but a proof of bond!” He roared, pressing the fragment of the Eye of the Rock God in his hand hard against his chest.
Just as the fragments touched his body, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out!
The originally dim Eye of the God of Rock seemed to be injected with new life and glowed with brilliant light.
Lin Xiaobei felt a warm and powerful force surging throughout his body, as if he had merged into one with the entire Liyue.
He understood that this was the true power of rock, this was the true contract!
However, before he could fully grasp this power, Lin Xiaoxia’s chip suddenly projected a holographic image.
In that image, a cold mechanical voice sounded: “Warning: Intrusion of the Spacetime Administration’s main brain detected…Data isolation in progress…”
At the same time, Lu Li’s abyss dragon also launched its final attack.
Countless mechanical tentacles stretched out from the dragon’s body, like sharp blades, stabbing towards Zhongli fiercely.
Blood splattered as Zhongli’s rock armor was actually pierced by Lu Li’s mechanical tentacles!
“Old…Old Zhong!” Lin Xiaobei’s heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand.
At this moment, an even more desperate voice sounded: “It has been detected that Kamisato Ayaka’s mental power fluctuations are abnormal… The ice mirror system has been activated…”
Lin Xiaobei looked up suddenly, only to see a strange light flashing in Kamisato Ayaka’s eyes, and the Bingrinmaru in her hand also began to emit an ominous aura.
The temperature in the air dropped suddenly, as if freezing everything.
“Ms. Linghua, you…” Zhongli’s voice was full of worry.
Kamisato Ayaka did not answer, but silently raised the Hyorinmaru in her hand.
Her expression was calm and indifferent, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
“For the stability of the world line…”
“Crack…”
A tiny voice sounded, but it exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind like thunder.
The air seemed to freeze and time seemed to stand still.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the Hyorinmaru in Kamisato Ayaka’s hand.
Then they saw an incredible scene.
A tiny crack appeared on Hyorinmaru’s blade.
Then, the crack expanded rapidly and spread like a spider web.
Finally, in front of everyone’s shocked gaze, the Hyorinmaru shattered.
No, to be precise, it was not the Hyorinmaru that shattered, but the ice mirror formed by the condensed ice element that exploded into countless pieces.
The fragments were crystal clear and sparkled like diamonds, yet they also emitted a heart-pounding chill.
What does this…mean?
Kamisato Ayaka’s ice mirror exploded into thousands of pieces. What does it mean?
Is it hope or despair?
The moment the ice mirror exploded, the world seemed to be in slow motion.
The crystal fragments danced in the air like an explosion in slow motion, reflecting the chaotic scene of Guiliji. Each piece of fragment was like a sharp ice knife, cutting Lin Xiaobei’s heart.
He felt like his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and breathing became difficult.
“Contract holder…your choice determines the world line!” An ethereal voice, as if coming from the eternal void, exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
This voice does not belong to anyone, but it carries an irresistible majesty.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned.
What world line?
What to choose?
His mind was a mess now. He felt like he had fallen into a huge information vortex, being dizzy by all kinds of messy information.
Suddenly, he felt a powerful suction coming from the center of Guiliji.
He looked down and was almost frightened to death.
The contract card on his body was actually flying uncontrollably into the air, heading towards the core of Guiliji – the huge star core forging instrument that emitted a strange light!
“Shit! What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei yelled and tried to grab those contract cards, but the suction was too strong and he couldn’t resist it at all.
At the same time, the system’s prompt sounded in his mind: “Bronze → King promotion completed!”
This sudden reminder sound not only did not make Lin Xiaobei happy, but made him even more flustered.
The king advances?
What’s the point of advancing now?
His contract card is about to be sucked away!
He watched helplessly as precious contract cards flew towards the Star Core Forging Instrument as if they were being sucked away by a vacuum cleaner.
Zhongli’s contract card, Kamisato Ayaka’s contract card, and even the Eye of the Rock Contract Card that he had obtained with great difficulty, were all helplessly flown towards the huge black hole under this powerful suction.
“No!!!” Lin Xiaobei roared in despair.
He felt like a gambler who had worked hard to save money all his life, but had it all robbed overnight. The heartache he felt was indescribable.
At this moment, Lu Li’s disgusting mechanical laughter, like the devil’s sound from hell, echoed throughout the Guiliji: “The Luofu star core of the Star Dome Railway… is starting up——”
Lin Xiaobei raised his head in despair, looking at the contract card of Zhang Feixiang Star Core Forging Instrument. All his efforts and hard work had gone to waste.
The scene freezes at the moment when the Eye of the Rock God Contract Card is sucked into the black hole of the star core.
The dazzling golden light seemed particularly blinding and tragic in front of the dark cave entrance.
“Wait…” A weak voice came from Lin Xiaobei’s mouth.
He stretched out his hand as if trying to grab something, but it dropped down weakly.
“I…I haven’t…”
Before he could finish his words, an even stronger suction force swallowed him up.
The world was spinning before his eyes, and he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, falling, falling…
“System… Help…” He used up his last bit of strength and made a weak cry for help.
However, all he got in response was endless darkness and silence.
“Abnormal host vital signs detected… Emergency evacuation procedures are being initiated…” A cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Chapter 30 Starry Sky Gamble: Quantum Entanglement of Defection and Reversal (Old Version)
After a dizzying moment, Lin Xiaobei fell heavily onto the cold metal plate, and it seemed as if all the bones in his body were broken.
He struggled to get up, and what came into his sight was the suspended platform of the Star Dome Railway Luofu. The magnificent fairy boat building was looming in the clouds, and his ears were filled with the strange sound of machinery running.
Before he could recover from his shock, a huge holographic projection appeared in front of him. It was a sphere flashing with lightning, moving as if it had life. A mechanical voice sounded indifferently: “An inter-dimensional pollution source has been detected… The Luofu star core requires three parties to bid—”
What?!
Bidding?
What the hell!
Lin Xiaobei’s mind was a mess. Before he could figure out what was going on, he felt the back of his collar tighten and his whole body was lifted up.
“Defector from the Spacetime Administration, your contract is stuck in the polluted star core!” A crisp voice exploded in his ears.
Lin Xiaobei turned his head and saw a short-haired girl in a neat uniform staring at him seriously. It was Su Yu, whom he had met once before.
Defector?!
This blame is more unfair than Dou E’s!
Lin Xiaobei was about to explain when he felt a strong murderous aura locking onto him.
He turned around with difficulty and saw Chen Hao, his good brother, who was looking at him with cold eyes. His mechanical prosthetic eyes flashed with a strange red light, reflecting the afterimage of the destruction of the Starry Sky Fleet.
“Use the memories you awakened… in exchange for the revival of my fleet!” Chen Hao’s voice was hoarse and cold. He pinched Lin Xiaobei’s neck, and veins on his hands bulged.
Oh my god!
What is this unfolding?
Lin Xiaobei felt like he had fallen into a huge vortex of conspiracy and was being manipulated by various forces.
“Observations of the stellar core show that his consciousness is contaminated by 78% imaginary numbers!” Kafka’s voice was calm, as if she was stating an established fact.
Her imaginary gun was already pointed at Lin Xiaobei’s back, ready to pull the trigger at any time.
pollute?
78%?
What kind of metaphysical setting is this?!
Lin Xiaobei wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt more wilted than an eggplant covered with frost in June.
“Anyone who trespasses into Theresa’s territory will die!” With a delicate shout, a silver light flashed, and Vitia’s holy sword fell from the sky and struck Lin Xiaobei’s head.
This… Is this going to allow people to survive?!
Lin Xiaobei closed his eyes in despair. Is he going to die here today?
Wait! I still have the system! I don’t know if it can still be used, but I have to give it a try!
Lin Xiaobei’s mind moved, and he injected all the remaining energy into the core of the star, roaring: “Use the bond of the twin contract… to reverse your quantum collapse!”
A powerful energy wave burst out from the core of the star. The moment Vitia’s holy sword touched Lin Xiaobei, it turned into stardust and dissipated into nothingness.
“This…” Vitya looked at what was happening in front of her in disbelief. She had never seen such a strange phenomenon.
Lin Xiaobei was also stunned. He didn’t expect that he would actually succeed!
This feeling is like winning a five million dollar lottery, so cool!
At this moment, the afterimage of the Starry Sky Fleet behind Chen Hao suddenly exploded, and countless memory fragments fell like snowflakes…
“Captain…we…” A faint voice sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s ears…The afterimage of the Star Fleet behind Chen Hao exploded like a popped soap bubble!
Countless fragments of memory fell like snowflakes, spinning and dancing in the air, interweaving into broken pictures.
Lin Xiaobei seemed to be in a bizarre fantasy, witnessing the tragic scene of the destruction of the Starry Sky Railway Fleet.
The raging fire engulfed the giant steel ship. The desperate crew struggled in the sea of ​​fire, and their shrill cries were deafening.
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the memory fragments: “The destruction of the fleet is the will of the star core… Only imaginary numbers can bring true eternity…”
“Kyriel! It’s you! It’s you who tampered with my memory log!” Chen Hao’s roar was like thunder, making Lin Xiaobei’s eardrums buzz.
He watched as Chen Hao’s mechanical prosthetic eye burst into dazzling red light, and his originally empty eyes were now filled with anger and hatred.
He clenched his fists suddenly, and a powerful energy gathered in his palms, causing the space to distort.
“My fleet… is reborn!” Chen Hao roared and smashed the energy in his hand hard into the ground.
With a loud bang, the energy of the star core condensed into the form of a fleet in his palm. Countless miniature warships swarmed out like a swarm of bees, bringing destructive power, and instantly tore the three imaginary mechas into pieces.
Metal debris rained down, stirring up a cloud of dust on the platform.
This is the real fleet commander!
Lin Xiaobei was shaking with excitement. The visual impact was even more shocking than an IMAX movie!
At this moment, the cold mechanical voice of the Star Core AI Ikaros sounded again: “Transaction terminated! The Star Core will absorb all pollution sources and start space folding—”
Space began to distort and the metal plates on the platform made a harsh friction sound.
Lin Xiaobei felt his body being pulled by a powerful force, as if it was about to be torn apart.
“No! My mission…” Su Yu’s mechanical prosthetic eye suddenly burst, and blood flowed down her cheek.
She gritted her teeth and stuffed a gleaming chip into Lin Xiaobei’s hand, “Tell Lin Xiaoxia…I choose to believe…in bonds!”
After saying that, Su Yu’s body began to become transparent, and eventually turned into starlight and dissipated in the distorted space.
“Su Yu!” Lin Xiaobei was heartbroken. He held the chip tightly in his hand, feeling the remaining temperature on it.
This chip is Su Yu’s last hope and also her trust in Lin Xiaobei.
Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles sprang out from under the platform like poisonous snakes, wrapped around Lin Xiaobei’s legs, and dragged him towards the twisted space crack.
At the critical moment, Vitia’s holy sword cut through the air and cut off the virtual tentacles.
She fought side by side with Chen Hao, using the holy sword and the fleet’s afterimages to form a barrier to resist the continuous outflow of imaginary energy.
“The truth about the star core… needs to be verified by the blood of the contractor…” Vitya’s voice was weak but firm.
The holy sword in her hand glowed dimly, as if it would break at any moment.
Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth, pulled out the dagger, and cut his wrist without hesitation.
Blood gushed out and landed on the core of the star.
The next moment, the core of the star shone brightly, and a familiar figure appeared in the holographic projection.
“Xiaobei…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was filled with worry and confusion, “Why are you there?”
Lin Xiaobei looked at Lin Xiaoxia in the projection, feeling mixed emotions.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn’t say anything.
“Xiaobei…behind you…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice suddenly became urgent, “Be careful!”
Chapter 31: Echoes of Betrayal: The Double-Sided Trap of the Star Core Trial (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei felt like he was thrown into a madly running blender. The air around him was filled with conspiracy, and there was also a strange smell of imaginary numbers!
“Crack—”
That guy Ikaros failed at the critical moment?
Its mechanical voice sounded like the whisper of death at this moment: “Kyriel’s quantum entanglement has been detected…Su Yu’s consciousness has been contaminated by 97% of imaginary numbers!”
97%?
This is not some “rave review” percentage!
Before Lin Xiaobei could complain, he felt his ankle tighten, as if it was entangled by an octopus’s tentacles.
Looking down, Su Yu’s originally clear eyes were now flashing with a strange red light.
Countless purple-black imaginary tentacles, like poisonous snakes breaking out of the ground, emerged from her body with a “puff puff” and entangled Lin Xiaobei’s legs frantically.
The tentacles were cold and sticky, and carried a disgusting smell of corruption. They went straight into people’s trouser legs, making their scalps tingle and making them feel like they had fallen into Slater’s snake cave.
“Oh my god! What the hell is this?!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but swear.
This plot is more exciting than any love adventure game he has ever played!
Before he could think of a way to escape, Kafka’s queenly figure appeared not far away like a ghost.
The imaginary energy gun in her hand was emitting a faint blue light, and the cold muzzle was pointing directly at Lin Xiaobei’s brow.
“Observations of the stellar core show… you are the source of the pollution!” Kafka’s voice was as cold as ice in the winter, without any emotion at all.
Now it’s directly regarded as a virus!
Lin Xiaobei felt that he was even more wronged than Dou E.
He couldn’t help but shout in his heart: I am the victim!
However, at this critical moment, a silver light pierced through the void.
Vitya’s holy sword, which symbolizes justice and protection, had thick frost condensed on the tip of the sword, blocking Lin Xiaobei in front of him.
“Wait, the fluctuation of his contract energy… is exactly the same as Captain Chen in the fleet log!” Although Vitia’s voice was still weak, it was firm and unquestionable.
Captain Chen?
Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was no longer enough.
This plot twist is more exciting than a roller coaster.
“boom–“
At this moment, the originally dim afterimage of the fleet suddenly exploded into a dazzling energy shield, blocking all of Kafka’s attacks.
Chen Hao’s nonchalant voice was heard: “Knight Vita! His system authority can reverse the pollution of the star core!”
“Reverse the core pollution?” Lin Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.
Oh, right, the system!
He also has the system, a powerful weapon!
Without caring about anything else, Lin Xiaobei bit the tip of his tongue hard.
The severe pain woke him up instantly.
“System! Start the copy mode for me!” he shouted frantically in his heart.
The next moment, a powerful energy wave spread out in all directions with Lin Xiaobei as the center.
The surrounding space began to twist and deform, and countless data streams intertwined in the air, eventually forming a huge vortex.
Lin Xiaobei knew that this was a sign that the copy mode was being activated.
He must find the key to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Oh, right, Su Yu! The Su Yu whose memory was tampered by Carrier!
He wants to summon the real Su Yu, the genius intelligence agent of the Space-Time Administration!
Following Lin Xiaobei’s thoughts, a beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped Su Yu.
The light faded, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei.
She was a girl who looked exactly like Su Yu who was contaminated by imaginary numbers.
She was wearing a neat uniform, and her eyes were clear and sharp, as if she could see through all disguises.
However, unlike the polluted Su Yu, this Su Yu’s face was full of doubt and confusion.
She didn’t seem to understand why she was here.
The two Su Yus confronted each other in the imaginary space, as if they were mirrors of two different worlds, reflecting each other’s fate.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.
At this moment, Lin Xiaobei suddenly noticed that a strange rune appeared on Su Yu’s chest.
It was an ancient and mysterious seal, emitting a faint golden light.
He seemed to have seen the pattern of that rune somewhere before… Wait!
Isn’t that… the seal rune of the Space-Time Administration? !
Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes, his heart full of doubts.
Why is there a seal of the Space-Time Administration on Su Yu’s body?
What kind of secret is she hiding?
And why did Kyrel tamper with her memory?
Too many questions, like a tangled mess, entangled in Lin Xiaobei’s mind, making him feel dizzy.
However, before he could figure it out, Su Yu’s real body suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Xiaobei with cold and unfamiliar eyes.
“You…” Her voice was hoarse and low, like a call from hell, “Who is it?” Lin Xiaobei felt his head buzzing. There was too much information, and his brain was about to be “burned”!
Two Su Yu?
Seal of the Space-Time Administration?
Kyrier’s conspiracy?
And Vitia’s words: “The contractor must prove his loyalty with blood!”
“Oh my god, what a ridiculous plot!” He couldn’t help but complain, but his hands didn’t slow down at all.
The air was filled with the unique sweet smell of imaginary energy, irritating his nostrils.
The two Su Yus confronted each other, creating an invisible sense of oppression, like two invisible electric currents colliding in the air, making the hairs on his body stand up.
Suddenly, Su Yu’s body moved.
“Quickly use the energy of the star core… to destroy Kyriel’s quantum anchor point!” Although her voice was still hoarse, it was filled with an unquestionable firmness.
At the same time, the Space-Time Administration seal rune on her chest began to emit a dazzling golden light, as if guiding something.
Quantum anchor point?
What is that?
Lin Xiaobei looked confused. He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the core of the star.
That thing now looked like a beacon in the darkness, emitting an alluring light.
“Let’s fight!”
He gritted his teeth and took out a contract card from the system space.
This card is shining with a strange light, which is the power of a powerful character.
Without hesitation, he inserted the contract card into the star core.
The core of the star made a humming sound, and a powerful energy wave spread out instantly.
Lin Xiaobei felt the blood in his body boiling, and an unprecedented power surged throughout his body.
At the same time, Chen Hao’s voice sounded again: “Xiao Bei! Take advantage of now! Use the star core energy!”
Lin Xiaobei understood what he meant. He concentrated his mind and condensed the star core energy in his hands.
In an instant, his hands seemed to turn into two little suns, emitting dazzling light.
At this moment, the originally dim afterimage of the fleet burst out with powerful energy again.
Countless beams of light converged together to form a huge blade of light, which slashed fiercely towards somewhere in the imaginary space.
Like the sound of glass breaking, Kyriel’s imaginary thread was ruthlessly cut by the light blade.
The virtual tentacles on Su Yu’s body also dissipated, and she collapsed to the ground powerlessly, and her eyes became clear again.
Before Lin Xiaobei could breathe a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened!
A silver light carrying a fierce murderous intent went straight to his throat!
It’s Vitya!
Her holy sword, which symbolized justice and protection, had now turned into a deadly weapon.
Thick frost condensed on the tip of the sword, as if to freeze his soul.
“The contractor must prove his loyalty with blood!” Vitya’s voice was cold and ruthless, as if she didn’t know Lin Xiaobei.
Lin Xiaobei’s pupils shrank sharply, and he had no time to dodge. The holy sword was already within reach!
The fear of death instantly enveloped his whole body.
He could even feel the chill on the sword’s edge, as if his neck would be completely cut off in the next second.
However, at this critical moment, the edge of the holy sword suddenly turned into stardust and dissipated into the air.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned. He subconsciously touched his neck and found it was intact.
“What’s going on?” He looked confused.
“Tsk, how embarrassing.” A familiar voice came.
He turned around and saw Chen Hao standing not far away with a faint smile on his lips.
“You’re pretty lucky, kid.” Chen Hao teased, “But don’t be so careless next time. These two-dimensional girls are not that easy to fool.”
Only then did Lin Xiaobei notice that a small wound had appeared on his wrist.
The wound was not deep, but blood was oozing out.
He immediately understood that it was a contract card!
Vitia’s attack just now was automatically absorbed by the contract card.
The wound on his wrist was the price paid for the contract card to absorb energy.
“That was a close call!” He couldn’t help but gasp.
However, before he could completely relax, the holographic projection of Ikaros suddenly began to twist and deform.
The originally mechanical sound became sharp and harsh.
“Hehe… do you think this is the end?” In the holographic projection, Ikaros’ face disappeared, and was replaced by Kyriel’s sinister and cunning face.
“The star core needs the blood of the twin contractors… Lin Xiaoxia is being eaten away by the star core—” Kyriel’s voice was full of sarcasm, “The game has just begun!”
The picture froze on the space-time rift that exploded on the platform dome. It was originally the core area of ​​the star core defense system, but now it has become a dark imaginary space, like a huge mouth that wants to swallow everything.
Chen Hao spat: “What the hell, so annoying!”
Chapter 32: Imaginary Abyss: The Final Trial of the Fleet’s Afterimage (Old Version)
Kyriel’s sinister laughter echoed in the imaginary space, like a thorn constantly irritating everyone’s nerves.
The wound on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist was still bleeding slowly, and the pain made his nerves tense.
He raised his head suddenly, with a determined light in his eyes.
“The imaginary mecha group is coming!” Vitya issued a warning. Countless mechanical tentacles emerged from the imaginary cracks around, and the black mecha seemed to be summoned from another dimension.
Their surfaces flickered with a faint blue light, and each mecha emitted suffocating energy fluctuations.
Chen Hao spat and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: “It’s so annoying, these idiots are everywhere.” The afterimage of the fleet behind him suddenly turned into a silver band of light, wrapping around Lin Xiaobei. A powerful contract energy surged out of his body, as if being pulled by some force.
“Borrow your contract energy to awaken the fleet’s consciousness!” Chen Hao’s voice was full of determination. He closed his eyes and began to guide the energy.
Lin Xiaobei felt a warm current flowing into the wound on his wrist, and all the cells in his body seemed to be activated.
His eyes widened as he saw silver bands of light dancing in the imaginary space, gradually condensing into the image of a towering warship.
At the same time, the core of the star projected a holographic surveillance screen, and Lin Xiaoxia’s figure appeared in it.
She was being restrained by an invisible force, and the pain and despair on her face made Lin Xiaobei’s heart clenched.
Kafka held the imaginary gun tightly in both hands and aimed at Kyrel’s mecha group: “His imaginary core is hidden in the core layer of the star core!”
Witya brandished the holy sword and rushed towards the group of mechas like a flash of lightning.
The light of the holy sword drew dazzling tracks in the imaginary space, and the three mechas were instantly shattered into pieces under the blow of the holy sword.
However, a powerful backlash of energy hit in an instant, and Vitia fell to his knees, coughing up bright red blood: “Contractor… Go to the core layer quickly!”
Lin Xiaobei’s heartbeat quickened. He took a deep breath, activated the power of the contract card, and rushed towards the core of the star.
Kyriel’s voice still echoed in his ears, and that mocking tone was like a knife, cutting through his mental defenses.
“The core of the star requires the blood of the twin contractors…” Before he finished speaking, Ikaros’ neutral position collapsed instantly.
“A clearance order from the top of the Space-Time Administration has been detected… The star core needs the blood of the twin contractors!” Ikaros’ voice became mechanical and cold, as if he had lost all emotions.
Lin Xiaobei felt an irresistible force pulling him towards the core of the star.
He gritted his teeth and injected the residual energy of Chen Hao’s fleet into the star core, activating the hidden copy [The Truth about the Destruction of the Starry Sky Fleet].
“Xiao Xia, here I come!” Lin Xiaobei muttered in his heart, his figure turned into a ray of light and instantly disappeared into the imaginary space.
At the same time, deep in the core of the star, scenes of Chen Hao’s fleet being pierced by Kyriel’s imaginary weapons began to emerge, and the hidden truths were gradually revealed…
The core layer door of the star core suddenly opened, and Lin Xiaobei’s figure appeared in the light, holding the contract card tightly in his hand, his eyes firm and resolute.
He took a deep breath, fixed his eyes on the black star core, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: “Kyriel, your show has just begun!” The core of the star core is a chaotic imaginary space.
The shattered remains of the fleet float in it, silently telling of its former glory like ghosts.
The broken metal skeleton, the sparking wires, the scattered space suit fragments… every piece of debris was like a sharp blade, stinging Lin Xiaobei’s eyes fiercely.
The air was filled with a burnt and metallic smell that made him feel nauseous.
Suddenly, a fragment of memory of the destruction of the fleet flooded into his mind like a tide.
He “saw” Chen Hao standing on the bridge, gripping the joystick tightly, his face full of determination.
The alarm sounded deafening and the ship shook violently.
Kyriel’s sinister laughter came from the communicator, like the tongue of a poisonous snake.
“Give up resistance, Chen Hao, your fleet is destined to become nutrient for the imaginary numbers!”
The next second, a purple-black imaginary ray penetrated the fleet’s energy shield and hit the bridge directly.
The flames of the explosion instantly engulfed Chen Hao’s figure.
Lin Xiaobei felt suffocated, as if he was also in the catastrophe.
“No…Brother Hao!” Lin Xiaobei covered his chest in pain and fell to his knees.
There was a burning pain from the wound on his wrist, as if reminding him that all this was not an illusion.
“Contractor!” Vitia’s voice exploded in his ears like thunder, and he grabbed Lin Xiaobei’s wrist and said, “Use my holy sword… to pierce the source of imaginary pollution!”
Lin Xiaobei suddenly raised his head and saw the knight’s sword shining with holy light in Vitya’s hand.
Golden energy flows on the sword, as if it contains the power to purify all evil.
“Can I…can I do it?” Lin Xiaobei’s voice trembled, his heart filled with fear and anxiety.
“Believe in yourself, contractor! Your power is enough to change everything!” Vitya’s voice was full of determination and encouragement, and she stuffed the holy sword into Lin Xiaobei’s hand.
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and gripped the holy sword tightly.
A powerful energy surged into his body from the hilt of the sword, dispelling the fear in his heart and replacing it with unparalleled courage and determination.
At this moment, Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles penetrated the core of the star like a black python and attacked Lin Xiaobei.
The tentacles flashed a sickening purple-black light, emitting a suffocating feeling of oppression.
“Damn it!” Lin Xiaobei cursed, raised the holy sword and prepared to fight.
Suddenly, the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet resonated with Lin Xiaobei’s contract card, turning into a silver barrier that blocked the attack of the imaginary tentacles.
“In the name of the fleet…collapse the imaginary number!” Chen Hao’s voice echoed in the imaginary space, full of majesty and power.
Lin Xiaobei felt a powerful energy surging from his body, gathering in his palm and condensing into a spear of light that penetrated the core of the imaginary number.
“Now!” Vitya’s voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Xiaobei threw the light spear out without hesitation.
The spear of light pierced through the void, carrying destructive power and striking directly at Kyriel’s imaginary core.
At the same time, Ikaros suddenly projected Lin Xiaoxia’s gene lock onto the surface of the star core.
Lin Xiaoxia’s holographic projection appeared on the star core. She was tied up, her face full of pain and despair.
“The blood of the twin contractors must be injected at the same time… but her consciousness is being devoured by the star core–” Ikaros’ voice was cold and mechanical, as if he was judging Lin Xiaoxia’s fate.
Lin Xiaoxia’s shrill screams came from the space-time rift, piercing Lin Xiaobei’s heart like a sharp blade.
“Xiao Xia!” Lin Xiaobei roared, and he rushed towards the surface of the star core, the holy sword in his hand flashing with dazzling light.
“Stop! You can’t…” Ikaros’ voice stopped abruptly.
Chapter 33: The End of the Star Core: Quantum Collapse of Binding Force (Old Version)
Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles pierced through the core of the star like black arrows, and layers of space seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp sound of tearing cloth.
In an instant, imaginary energy raged wildly in the core of the star, as if it was going to devour the entire core.
Lin Xiaoxia’s holographic projection gradually crystallized on the surface of the star core. Her voice was filled with a hint of pain and despair, and was almost drowned out by the imaginary roar: “Brother… cut off my gene lock quickly!”
The afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet was like a silver chain, whistling out from the void and tightly wrapping around Kariel’s body.
Silver light flickered between the imaginary tentacles, and each tentacle was firmly suppressed by the afterimage of the fleet, unable to move forward an inch.
Chen Hao’s voice echoed in the imaginary space, full of firmness and determination: “In the name of the fleet… collapse the imaginary space!” His voice was like a war drum, inspiring Lin Xiaobei’s heart.
“I’ll use my Theresa Contract… to buy three minutes!” Vitia’s voice was like the sound of nature, and her holy sword turned into a dazzling light and penetrated deeply into the core of the star.
The light of the holy sword and the imaginary energy of the star core intertwined to form a powerful barrier, temporarily curbing the spread of imaginary numbers.
Vitya’s eyes were firm, and there was a determination in her eyes to never back down.
At the same time, Kafka’s imaginary gun locked onto Karel’s spine like lightning. Her eyes were cold and resolute: “The blood of the contractor must be injected before the imaginary barrier is closed!” The light of the imaginary gun drew a perfect trajectory in the void and hit Karel’s spine with a dull explosion.
Kyriel’s body shook violently, and the imaginary tentacles seemed to stop for a moment during the tremor.
Lin Xiaobei clenched the contract card in his hand, took a deep breath, and injected all the energy of the contract card into the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet. The originally silver light instantly became more dazzling, almost illuminating the entire imaginary space.
“With the authority of a king… activate the resonance of the twin bonds!” His voice was firm and powerful, as if announcing the final battle.
Suddenly, the light from the core of the star became brighter, and Lin Xiaoxia’s holographic projection gradually became clear in the light.
Her childhood memories unfolded like a slide show in the core of the star. Warm scenes gushed out like springs, warming Lin Xiaobei’s heart.
He saw Lin Xiaoxia’s smile as a child, the happy times she spent with her family, and the countless efforts she made to protect him.
Each picture was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Lin Xiaobei’s heart, arousing the anger and determination in his heart.
“Xiao Xia!” Lin Xiaobei roared, the holy sword in his hand flashing with dazzling light. He rushed towards the surface of the star core, as if to pour all his strength into it.
There was a raging fire in his eyes, which was his love for Lin Xiaoxia and hatred for Kariel.
“Stop! You can’t…” Ikaros’ voice stopped abruptly, as if interrupted by some invisible force.
Lin Xiaoxia’s holographic projection became clearer and clearer in the core of the star. Her smile was as warm as the sun, but there was a hint of determination in her eyes.
She stretched out her hand and waved gently in Lin Xiaobei’s direction, as if to tell him that it was all worth it.
At this moment, the core of the star suddenly emitted a deafening roar, as if the entire space and time solidified at this moment.
Lin Xiaobei’s holy sword drew a perfect arc in the void, pointing directly to the core of the star.
The light of the holy sword and the light of the star core intertwined together, forming an unstoppable torrent that swept towards Kyriel’s imaginary core.
“Xiaobei, remember, no matter what happens, you must survive…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice echoed in the void, like the sound of nature, warm and firm.
Lin Xiaobei’s eyes were blurred by tears, but he did not stop what he was doing.
The holy sword drew a final ray of light in the void, striking directly at Kyriel’s imaginary core.
At the same time, the light from the core of the star suddenly became brighter, almost illuminating the entire space.
Lin Xiaoxia’s holographic projection gradually became transparent in the light, as if it was about to disappear.
“No!” Lin Xiaobei roared, his voice filled with heart-wrenching pain and despair.
However, at this moment, the core of the star suddenly made a deafening explosion, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.
Vitia’s holy sword shattered in the quantum collapse, turning into countless fragments that flew into the void.
On Kyriel’s distorted face, the imaginary core suddenly exploded, like a supernova exploding in his body.
Vitia’s holy sword took the brunt of the attack, breaking with a wailing sound.
“Contractor… my sword will clear the way for you!” Lin Xiaobei’s figure was reflected in her silver eyes. He was the contractor whom she swore to protect with her life, and the only knight in her heart.
The holy sword broke into countless pieces, streaking through the imaginary space like a meteor. Each piece carried Vitya’s will, and they kept crashing into Kariel, trying to buy Lin Xiaobei even a millisecond of time.
Lin Xiaobei’s palm was like holding a small black hole. The energy of the star core poured in frantically, forming a black vortex that constantly rotated and swallowed everything, reversing the surrounding imaginary energy.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxia’s originally crystallized body suddenly opened its eyes.
There was no longer pain and despair in her eyes, but a resolute calmness.
“Brother…what the star core needs is your heartbeat!” Her voice was like a call from the distant starry sky, carrying an irresistible magic.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart trembled suddenly, and he seemed to understand what Lin Xiaoxia meant.
Without hesitation, he pressed his hand to his chest, feeling the strong beating of his heart.
At this moment, the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet seemed to be inspired and made a deafening roar.
The phantoms of countless warships overlapped in the void, forming a silver steel torrent.
The wills of his comrades who had fought alongside him, the heroes who had sacrificed their lives to protect the Star Dome Railway, merged with his consciousness, forming a powerful force.
“Xiaobei, don’t forget our agreement! Fuck him!” Chen Hao’s voice exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind like thunder, and he injected all his strength into Lin Xiaobei’s contract card.
The contract card emitted a dazzling light, which blended with the afterimage of the fleet, forming a silver beam of light that penetrated the dimensional channel.
This beam of light pierced through the void like a sharp sword, stabilizing the originally chaotic imaginary energy and winning the last hope for Lin Xiaobei.
At this critical moment, Ikaros’ holographic projection suddenly appeared.
There was no expression on her cold face. She just mechanically read out the instructions from the top of the Space Administration: “Clear the source of pollution–“
The cold command was like the god of death’s scythe, ruthlessly cutting off Lin Xiaobei’s last hope.
He looked up suddenly and saw the core of the star explode in the blood and energy of the Twin Contract, forming a dazzling light.
The picture freezes at this moment.
Lin Xiaoxia’s shadow, wrapped in stardust, with a hint of a smile, slowly dissipated into the crack of time and space like a kite with a broken string.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to have lost its color, leaving only endless darkness and despair.
“No————!!!” Lin Xiaobei’s angry roar echoed in the void, heart-wrenching and heart-breaking.
He wanted to grab Lin Xiaoxia’s hand and stop her from disappearing, but he was powerless.
He could only watch her move further and further away from him, until she finally disappeared in the endless turbulence of time and space.
The world was spinning around him, and Lin Xiaobei felt as if he was sucked into a huge whirlpool. His body was spinning uncontrollably, and the scene around him became blurred.
He tried hard to open his eyes and see everything around him clearly, but he found that he could see nothing.
Suddenly, he felt a violent vibration, as if the whole world was collapsing.
He felt as if his body was being torn apart, and the pain almost made him lose consciousness.
He only knew that he had to survive, for Lin Xiaoxia, for Chen Hao, and for all those who sacrificed their lives to protect him.
He gritted his teeth and tried desperately to control his body, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
He believed that as long as he didn’t give up, he would be able to find hope.
“Ahem…”
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiaobei finally regained some consciousness.
He coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes.
What came into view was endless darkness.
He found himself in a small space. There was no light around him, only endless darkness and silence.
He tried to move his body, but found that his whole body was in unbearable pain, as if he was pricked by countless needles.
He struggled to sit up, leaned against the cold wall, and tried to recall everything that had happened before.
Lin Xiaoxia, Kyriel, Star Core, Twin Contract…
Countless images flooded into his mind like a tide, giving him a splitting headache.
He held his head tightly, trying to banish the memories from his mind, but found that he was unable to do so.
He didn’t know how long he would stay here, nor what he would face.
But he knew that he had to be strong and live for those who sacrificed for him.
“Is anyone there?” he shouted hoarsely, his voice echoing in the darkness, but there was no response.
He was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked forward step by step.
He doesn’t know what’s ahead.
Suddenly, he felt something soft and sticky under his feet.
He lowered his head, trying to see what was under his feet, but he could see nothing.
He reached out his hand, touched something under his feet, and suddenly felt sick.
It was a bloody mess, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
Lin Xiaobei’s stomach was churning. He suppressed his nausea and tried to move away, but he found that his feet seemed to be stuck to something and he couldn’t move.
He tried hard to break free, but he found that the more he struggled, the stickier the stuff on his feet became.
He felt a sense of fear, he didn’t know what it was.
“Help! Is there anyone here?” he shouted again, his voice trembling and full of fear.
Just then, he suddenly heard a faint voice coming from the depths of darkness.
“……north……?”
The voice was very weak and hoarse, but Lin Xiaobei heard it clearly.
That’s Lin Xiaoxia’s voice!
Lin Xiaobei’s body shook violently, he couldn’t believe his ears.
Didn’t Lin Xiaoxia disappear? Why is she here?
“Xiao Xia! Is that you? Where are you?” Lin Xiaobei shouted excitedly, his voice trembling and full of hope.
“…I…I’m here…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice came again, and this time, her voice was a little clearer.
Lin Xiaobei ran towards the direction of the sound without hesitation. He didn’t care about the bloody thing under his feet. He just wanted to find Lin Xiaoxia as soon as possible.
He ran for a long, long time, so long that he almost lost hope.
Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly saw a faint light ahead.
He suddenly perked up and quickened his pace to run towards the light.
When he ran to the light, he was stunned.
It was a crack, a crack emitting dazzling light.
The crack was not big, only about one meter wide, but it exuded a heart-pounding power.
Lin Xiaobei stood in front of the crack and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should go in.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Lin Xiaoxia’s voice coming from the crack.
“…Bei…come in…I’m inside…”
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath, without hesitation, and jumped into the crack.
He doesn’t know what’s at the end of the crack.
When he jumped into the crack, he felt dizzy, as if he was sucked into a huge whirlpool.
He had no idea how long he was spinning or where he was being taken.
He only knew that he had to persevere and not give up.
Just when he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly heard a voice ringing in his ear.
“Welcome to…[DATA EXPUNGED]…”
The voice was low and hoarse, carrying a chilling sense of horror.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly opened his eyes, trying to see everything around him clearly, but he found that he could see nothing.
He only felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him tremble all over.
“Where…is this place?” he muttered to himself, his voice trembling and full of fear.
But all he got in response was endless darkness and silence.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes lit up in the darkness, a pair of eyes full of blood and killing.
Those eyes stared at Lin Xiaobei, as if they wanted to devour him.
Lin Xiaobei felt a sense of despair
Just then, he suddenly heard a voice ringing in his mind.
“Find… [DATA EXPUNGED]… Get out of here…”
“Xiao Xia! Where are you? Tell me, what should I do?” Lin Xiaobei shouted in his mind, his voice trembling and full of hope.
“…[DATA EXPUNGED]…right…behind you…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice came intermittently, as if it would disappear at any time.
Lin Xiaobei turned around suddenly and saw a blurry figure appear behind him.
The figure exuded a heart-pounding aura, as if it was a demon from hell.
“Who are you?” Lin Xiaobei asked tremblingly, his voice full of fear.
The figure slowly raised his head, revealing a distorted face.
The face was covered in blood and scars, and its original appearance could not be seen clearly.
“I am…” the figure said hoarsely, his voice full of malice, “…your nightmare…”
Lin Xiaobei’s body trembled violently, and he felt a surge of despair in his heart.
At this moment, the figure suddenly moved. He pounced towards Lin Xiaobei, opened his bloody mouth, and wanted to swallow him whole.
Lin Xiaobei closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
However, at this moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed and knocked the figure back.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly opened his eyes and saw a figure standing in front of him.
The figure held a sword, a sword that emitted a dazzling light.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here to protect you.” The figure said lightly, his voice full of determination and courage.
Lin Xiaobei looked at the figure, his heart filled with gratitude and hope.
“Who are you?” he asked, his voice trembling with hope.
The figure turned around and smiled at Lin Xiaobei.
“I am…” he said softly, “…your…”
At this moment, a cold blade pierced his heart from behind.
The smile on his face froze.
Chapter 34 Imaginary Echoes: The Deadly Trap of the Star Core Rift (Old Version)
He slowly turned his head and saw a familiar figure standing behind him.
In the figure’s hand, was a knife dripping with blood.
“Why?” he asked, his voice trembling and full of pain.
The figure slowly raised his head, revealing a cold face.
There was no expression on that face, only endless indifference and murderous intent.
“I’m sorry…” the figure said coldly, “…for [DATA EXPUNGED]…”
Then, without hesitation, he drew his knife and pushed the figure to the ground.
The figure fell to the ground, blood staining his clothes.
He struggled in pain, but eventually stopped breathing.
Lin Xiaobei looked at the figure lying on the ground, his heart filled with sadness and anger.
“Why…why are you doing this?” he asked tremblingly, his voice full of hatred.
The figure slowly turned his head and gave Lin Xiaobei a strange smile.
“Because…” he whispered, “…[DATA EXPUNGED]…is about to begin…”
Then he raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
Lin Xiaobei looked in the direction of his finger and was stunned.
At the end of the darkness, there appeared a huge crack, a crack that seemed to swallow everything.
A heart-pounding smell emanated from the crack, as if it came from the abyss of hell.
“…go…get out of here…[DATA EXPUNGED]…is coming…”
Lin Xiaobei ran away without hesitation
Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly saw a light appearing in front of him.
It was a door, a door emitting dazzling light.
Lin Xiaobei pushed the door open without hesitation and walked in.
When he walked through the door, he felt dizzy, as if he was sucked into a huge whirlpool.
“Welcome back…”
In the core layer of the star, the energy that was once as bright as the galaxy is now as if stained with ink. The chaotic imaginary energy is like a snarling monster, greedily devouring everything.
The cracked space-time rift was like a huge mouth of the abyss, with countless tentacles flashing with faint light extending from it, tightly wrapping around Su Yu’s crystallized body.
Su Yu, once the gentle guardian of the Starry Sky Train, is now like a puppet, with no expression on her face and empty eyes.
Kyriel’s disgusting voice echoed in the space, with a triumphant ecstasy: “Thank you, Twin Contractors, for sending such a perfect living container! It’s really… God helping me! Hahahaha!” The laughter was sharp and piercing, like nails scratching on a blackboard, making people shudder.
At this moment, the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet surrounded Su Yu like a guardian angel, trying to prevent further erosion by Kairiel.
However, the corrosive power of imaginary numbers was far beyond imagination. The afterimage of the fleet was like a piece of paper splashed with sulfuric acid. It was quickly corroded and decomposed, and finally turned into starlight and dissipated into the void.
“Chen Hao!” Lin Xiaobei’s heart tightened, and an indescribable anger surged in his heart.
This is not only the grief of losing a comrade, but also the deep disgust for Kyriel’s despicable behavior.
Meanwhile, Viteya was also in trouble.
The holy sword in her hand, which once symbolized justice and protection, now had a strange dark red glow on its tip, as if stained with blood.
Vitia’s voice trembled with a hint of fear and helplessness: “Contractor… my sword… my sword is consuming the star core energy! I… can’t control it!”
Kafka frowned, and the virtual gun in her hand kept spitting out energy bullets, blasting one new mecha after another into pieces.
However, she soon discovered that even imaginary weapons could not resist the ubiquitous pollution.
The moment her ammunition came into contact with imaginary energy, it began to mutate, becoming as sticky as mud and losing its lethality.
“Damn it! This thing is more difficult than I thought!” Kafka spat fiercely and cursed inwardly.
The situation was extremely critical, and Lin Xiaobei knew that he must find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
He took a deep breath, his eyes firm, and silently said in his heart: “System, activate the copy mode [Trial of the Knight Theresa]! With the authority of the king class… purify the contract resonance of Vitia!”
Following his command, a dazzling light burst out from his body and a huge magic circle unfolded under his feet.
In the center of the magic circle, a first-generation holy sword shining with holy light slowly emerged. It was the prototype of the holy sword that Vitia had used.
However, the sword was not spared either. It was covered with spider-web-like cracks, emitting an ominous aura.
Lin Xiaobei grabbed the hilt of the sword, and a powerful force instantly surged into his body.
He felt a wonderful connection between himself and Vitya, as if he could feel her inner struggle and pain.
“Vitya, hold on!” Lin Xiaobei roared and poured all his strength into the holy sword.
The holy sword made a clear sound, and cracks on the sword began to spread. Finally, with a deafening explosion, the holy sword completely shattered, turned into starlight, and dissipated into the void.
The shock wave generated by the explosion swept across the entire core layer of the star, and imaginary energy fled everywhere like a frightened beast.
The holy sword in Vitia’s hand also regained its original light, and the dark red light disappeared.
“Huh…” Lin Xiaobei let out a long sigh, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
However, he looked up at Kyle, his eyes were cold and his tone was firm: “Kyle, your game… is over.”
Suddenly, in the dead silence, a voice suddenly sounded… “Not necessarily…”
The afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet was originally swaying like a candle in the wind, and was about to be swallowed up by the imaginary energy.
Suddenly, the afterimages seemed to be energized and burst out with dazzling silver light!
The light condensed into an indestructible barrier, cutting off Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles!
Just like cutting tofu, clean and neat!
“Fleet Log No. 37… You have tampered with Theresa’s purification procedure!” Chen Hao’s voice came from the barrier, with a hint of cold anger, and a hint of… inexplicable familiarity?
The tone, the wording, the damn familiarity, it’s almost like…
Before Lin Xiaobei had time to think about it, the contract card on his wrist suddenly lit up, and two runes intertwined and rotated like a yin and yang fish, emitting a faint golden light.
A powerful energy surged into his body, making him feel full of strength, as if he could blow up a planet with one punch!
Wait, this feeling… could it be… the power of the Twin Contractors? !
“What the hell! What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed.
Only then did he realize that Chen Hao’s previous words, “You tampered with Theresa’s purification procedure,” were not directed at him at all!
That’s talking to…Kyrel!
At this moment, Ikaros’ voice suddenly sounded, cold, mechanical, without a trace of emotion: “The contractor codenamed ‘Twins’ must be eliminated… Activate the Star Core Annihilation Protocol!”
At the same time, a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone, which turned out to be a command document from the top management of the Space-Time Administration!
The content of this document is simply jaw-dropping!
“What?! The Space-Time Administration is going to eliminate us?!” Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was not enough.
He originally thought that the Space-Time Administration was here to maintain the order of space-time, but now he finds out that they are the real masterminds behind all this!
“It seems that we have all been fooled!” Kafka said coldly, and the virtual gun in her hand spewed out even more violent energy bombs, as if to pour out all the anger!
The holy sword in Vitya’s hand suddenly flew out uncontrollably and pierced straight into Karel’s left eye!
“Ah–” Carrier let out a shrill scream, and blood gushed out of his left eye.
He covered his eyes and rolled on the ground in agony, as if he was in great pain.
“Beautiful! Well done!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but applaud.
He felt like he was watching a wonderful movie, and Vitya was the most dazzling protagonist in the movie!
However, the story does not end there.
The sealing rune of the Space-Time Administration Bureau on Su Yu’s chest suddenly exploded, and a holographic photo of Kyriel and the top management of the Administration appeared on the surface of the star core!
The picture froze at the moment when Kyriel let out an ear-piercing scream. That distorted face was filled with madness and hatred, as if he wanted to destroy the entire world!
“No… this is impossible…” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself, feeling that his worldview was collapsing.
He always thought that Kyrel was the mastermind, but now it seems that he is just a pawn of the Space-Time Administration!
The real mastermind behind this is actually…
“Hehehe…” A cold laugh suddenly sounded, breaking the deathly silence.
“The game has just begun…” Kyriel’s voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of creepy chill.
Chapter 35: Counterattack: The End of the Son of Imaginary Numbers (Old Version)
Kyrel’s left eye was still gushing blood like a broken faucet, but there was strangely no pain on his face. Instead, his mouth was open, revealing a creepy grin.
That smile is uglier than crying.
The imaginary core behind him expanded. It was no longer the flesh and blood tissue beating like a heart, but a rolling black nebula, a light that seemed to devour everything.
“Use the blood of the twin contractors… to complete the dimensional jump to the star core!” Kyriel’s voice sounded like it came from the depths of hell, hoarse and hollow, and every word seemed to be soaked in venom.
Lin Xiaobei’s scalp went numb. Why did this plot trend feel more exciting than riding a roller coaster?
He subconsciously looked at Kafka. The Queen of Imaginary Number Hunters still had no expression on her face, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Wait! Kafka seemed to move?
Kafka slowly raised the imaginary gun in her hand, and the muzzle was not aimed at Karel, but… at her own temple!
“My consciousness chip contains the key to the Administration!” Kafka’s voice was still calm, as if she was narrating a very ordinary matter, but this short sentence exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s ears like a thunderclap.
Wow, the speed of the plot twist is comparable to a stock plunge!
Before he had time to digest Kafka’s shocking action, he felt the space around him fluctuate.
The afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet, the once majestic Starry Sky Train, was now swaying like a candle in the wind. Suddenly, it began to split into countless silver spots of light, floating in the air like fireflies.
“Contractor…the fleet consciousness needs your star core authority!” Chen Hao’s voice was intermittent and weak like the buzzing of a mosquito or fly.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank. Why did it feel like the whole team was going to be wiped out?
He was about to speak when he felt a piercing chill on his back.
A holy sword, emitting a cold light, was against his back!
The one holding the sword was Vitya!
“Vitya, you…” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes in disbelief. He could never have imagined that this knight of Theresa would actually attack him!
Vitia had a blank expression on her face and empty eyes, as if she was controlled by something.
“Sir Knight… you were also on the observation ship on the day the fleet was destroyed!” At the critical moment, an idea flashed in Lin Xiaobei’s mind, and he activated the copy mode [Theresa’s Oath].
A powerful energy surged out of his body, instantly reversing the attack of the holy sword.
The moment the tip of the holy sword touched Lin Xiaobei’s heart, it suddenly turned into stardust and dissipated in the air.
Vitia’s eyes regained some clarity. She looked at Lin Xiaobei.
“You…how do you know…”
Before Lin Xiaobei could answer, he felt a powerful force coming from the direction of Carrier.
Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles penetrated the core of the star… Kafka’s mechanical prosthetic eyes burst into a strange red light… Kyriel’s imaginary limbs, like octopus tentacles, suddenly plunged into the expanding core of the star behind him.
The feeling was like taking a balloon that was already inflated to its limit and then sticking a few needles into it. It hurt just looking at it.
“Hiss——” Lin Xiaobei took a breath of cold air. The impact of this scene was comparable to a scene from a horror movie.
He subconsciously covered his eyes, but couldn’t help peeking through his fingers.
There is no way around it. Human curiosity is so strong. The bloodier and more exciting the scene, the more people want to find out.
At this moment, Kafka’s mechanical prosthetic eye, which always shone with a mysterious luster, suddenly seemed to short-circuit, and burst out with a weird red light.
The red light was as thick as blood and as hot as the fire of hell, making people dare not look directly at it.
“The…final authority of the Imaginary Number Hunter…” Kafka’s voice became unusually hoarse, like a rusty gear turning with difficulty.
“Lock on…the core of the pollution source!”
She suddenly raised the imaginary gun in her hand, and the muzzle was no longer pointed at her own temple, but at Karel.
A red beam shot out from the muzzle and instantly hit Kyriel’s imaginary core.
“No–!” Kyriel let out a desperate roar, his voice as shrill as a night owl.
He struggled desperately, trying to break free from Kafka’s lock, but it was all in vain.
The red beam, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, firmly attached to his imaginary core, constantly eroding his strength.
At the same time as Kafka launched the attack, the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet also underwent a strange change.
Those originally flickering silver spots of light suddenly began to gather together as if they were being summoned by something.
They intertwined in the air to form a silver-white barrier, protecting Lin Xiaobei and Vitya firmly.
This barrier was half the power of the fleet’s afterimage, and half the energy of the Holy Sword of Vitia. The two completely different forces were perfectly integrated together at this moment, forming an indestructible defense.
“Contractor, hurry!” Suddenly, Ikaros’ anxious voice came from the communication channel, with unprecedented tension in his tone.
“An intrusion of the Administration’s Zero Generation System has been detected… The star core needs the blood of the twin contractors… to fuse with the star core energy! Quick! Otherwise, everything is over!”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly. The Administration Bureau, the Administration Bureau again!
These guys are simply haunting us!
Before he had time to think about the meaning of Ikaros’ words, he felt a powerful force surging from the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet.
“Lin Xiaobei! Don’t just stand there! I’m going to use my ultimate move!” Chen Hao’s voice sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind, with a hint of determination.
“Remember, you must live! For… our common belief in the second dimension!”
Before he finished his words, the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet suddenly exploded, turning into a silver stream of light, and like a flood bursting through a dam, it poured into the contract card in Lin Xiaobei’s hand.
“Ah——!” Lin Xiaobei let out a painful roar. He felt as if his body was about to be torn apart by this powerful force.
His blood vessels dilated, his muscles twisted, and all the bones in his body creaked under the heavy load.
Just as Lin Xiaobei was struggling in pain, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the surface of Kariel’s imaginary core – Lin Xiaoxia!
“Lin Xiaoxia?!” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
He could never have imagined that his sister would appear here!
Lin Xiaoxia’s face was filled with pain and despair, her eyes were empty, as if she had lost all her soul.
Her body was entangled by countless imaginary tentacles, like a imprisoned doll.
“Brother…save me…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was as weak as the buzzing of a mosquito or fly, but it was clearly heard by Lin Xiaobei.
“She is… the real living star core carrier…” Kyriel’s voice became extremely weak, but with a hint of crazy pride.
“The Administration…has already planned everything…hahaha…”
The picture freezes at the moment when Vitia’s holy sword pierces the imaginary core of Kyriel.
Time seemed to stand still, all sounds disappeared, leaving only endless silence and depression.
The blade of the holy sword pierced into Kyriel’s imaginary core without any hindrance.
It felt like puncturing a blister, without any resistance.
With a soft “puff” sound, Carrier’s body quickly shrank like a deflated ball.
The expression on his face also changed from crazy pride to endless fear and despair.
His body, like broken glass, shattered into pieces, turning into countless black fragments and dissipating in the air.
And with the disappearance of Carrier, Lin Xiaoxia’s figure became increasingly blurred, as if she would disappear at any time.
At this moment, a huge projection suddenly emerged from the core layer of the star.
It was a complex pattern composed of countless data streams, like a huge eye, staring at Lin Xiaobei coldly.
A cold and mechanical voice came from the projection: “Code name…”
Chapter 36 Final Choice: The Quantum End of the Twin Contract (Old Version)
“The pollution source codenamed ‘Twins’… must be eliminated!” The cold voice in the projection seemed to come from an ancient cold pond, and every word carried a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lin Xiaobei felt that the air around him had solidified, and an invisible force was binding him tightly, as if he was in the deep sea, unable to breathe and unable to move.
The voice contained no emotion, only pure coldness and murderous intent, like a horn of judgment, announcing his doom.
Vitya, the originally holy knight, now had a blank look in his eyes, like a puppet. The holy sword in his hand suddenly changed direction, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it fiercely pierced through the afterimage of the fleet condensed by Chen Hao!
“Fuck… Shit!” The afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet let out an unbelievable cry of pain, and like a torn cloth, it instantly shattered into pieces, with bits of starlight scattered like fireflies drifting in the night sky.
Chen Hao, his last hope, was destroyed so easily!
This sudden change made him feel as if he had been slapped hard in the face, and his head was buzzing.
At the same time, Kafka’s figure flickered like a ghost, and the imaginary gun in her hand spewed out destructive energy, instantly destroying the three new mechas.
The light from the explosion illuminated her stern face, like the goddess of vengeance from hell.
“She needs your star core energy to activate the fragments of the first-generation system!” Kafka’s voice was low and rapid, with a hint of imperceptible anxiety.
The contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and like a hungry beast, it frantically absorbed the remaining attack energy from the holy sword.
This energy was violent and powerful, pouring into his body like a rushing river, making him feel numb and swollen.
At this moment, the shattered imaginary remains of Kyriel began to reorganize strangely, as if given new life, and condensed into a vague human shape.
“My consciousness will forever be parasitic on the energy of the star core!” Kyriel’s voice was full of resentment and unwillingness, like a demon from hell, issuing the final curse.
His voice was sharp and piercing, like nails scratching on a blackboard, which made people feel creepy.
Vitya’s holy sword suddenly exploded and turned into thousands of ice crystal chains, which wrapped around Lin Xiaobei’s body like a spirit snake and imprisoned him tightly.
The chains were icy cold, sticking tightly to his skin like a thorn in his flesh, making him feel suffocated and desperate.
He felt like a flying insect trapped in a spider web. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the fatal bondage.
“It’s over, Barbie Q is gone…” Lin Xiaobei said in his heart, a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
Is this his end?
Suddenly, something strange happened…
The afterimages of Chen Hao’s shattered fleet scattered all over the ground like broken glass, but miraculously began to reorganize the next moment.
The starlight gathered together, as if time was going back, and the fragments seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, spinning and condensing madly, and finally formed a huge silver sword, floating in front of Lin Xiaobei.
The sword emitted a dazzling light, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating the space shrouded in darkness.
“In the name of the fleet…” A low and majestic voice came from the giant sword, like a god of war from ancient times, carrying endless anger and determination. Every word hit Lin Xiaobei’s heart like a hammer.
This voice belonged to Chen Hao, but it was stronger and more determined than before, “…collapse the imaginary number!”
Before he finished his words, the silver giant sword slashed down fiercely, aiming directly at the imaginary wreckage that Kyriel was reassembling.
Wherever the sword passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.
Kyriel screamed in terror, but before she could react, she was split in half by the giant sword. The virtual remains shattered again, scattered into starlight, and finally dissipated completely.
At the same time, the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist suddenly emitted a brighter light, like a hungry beast, madly absorbing the surrounding energy.
This energy came from the fragments of the holy sword, from the dissipated imaginary wreckage of Kyriel, and even from Chen Hao’s fleet giant sword. They intertwined together to form a huge energy vortex that wrapped Lin Xiaobei.
Under the impact of this energy, Lin Xiaobei felt as if his body was about to be torn apart, but he gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain.
He knew that this was his last hope and he had to hold on.
Suddenly, the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist resonated with the core of the star. The two powerful energies attracted each other and merged, eventually forming a black hole vortex that madly devoured everything around it.
At this moment, the voice of the Administration’s Zeroth Generation System sounded again. This time, its voice was filled with a hint of excitement and greed: “The consciousness of the Twin Contractors… will become the carrier of the Nova Core!”
It turns out that all this was a conspiracy by the Administration!
They want to use the twin contract between Lin Xiaobei and Vitya to transform their consciousness into star core energy, thereby controlling the entire Star Dome Railway world!
“Dream on!” Lin Xiaobei roared angrily. He knew he couldn’t just sit there and wait for death.
He bit his wrist hard, and blood dripped onto the contract card.
Blood is the witness of the contract and the source of power.
As the blood dripped, Vitya’s card suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and a holy figure slowly walked out of the card. It was Vitya!
“Contractor…” Vitia’s voice was cold and firm, like a winter plum blossom, with a chilling murderous aura, “My sword will clear the way for you!”
Before he finished speaking, the holy sword in Vitya’s hand suddenly slashed out, aiming directly at the projection of the management bureau system!
The light of the holy sword was like lightning that cut through the night sky, instantly cutting the projection of the management bureau system in half.
The projection let out a shrill scream and eventually disappeared completely.
At this moment, the core of the star suddenly burst into an even brighter light, and a silver beam of light shot out from the core, penetrating the space-time crack.
Under the illumination of the light column, the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet and Lin Xiaoxia’s phantom actually overlapped, forming a blurry figure.
“Xiao Xia…” Lin Xiaobei murmured to himself, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness.
The picture freezes at the moment when the silver beam of light erupting from the core of the star penetrates the crack in space and time.
Everything seemed to be still, except for that beam of light, which was still dazzling and illuminated the space shrouded in darkness.
Suddenly, the core of the star exploded, and countless fragments floated in the void, like stars twinkling in the night sky…
“Hehehe…” A cold voice came from the fragments, “The game… has just begun…”
Chapter 37: Star Core Rift: The Life and Death Decision of Twin Bonds (Old Version)
The core of the star exploded, and the fragments were like out-of-control fireflies, flashing strange lights in the void.
Each fragment exudes disturbing fluctuations, like a ferocious beast lurking in the dark, ready to devour its prey at any time.
Kyriel’s creepy imaginary voice, as if coming from the depths of hell, echoed in the silent void: “The blood of the twin contractors… will be sacrificed for the new star core!” The tone was full of mockery and cruelty, as if admiring a tragedy that was about to take place.
The afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet, which was originally majestic, now looked like a portrait splashed with sulfuric acid. It was corroded bit by bit by the fragments of the star core, turning into starlight and dissipating into the void.
The scene was like the fall of a hero, heartbreaking.
Lin Xiaobei watched all this happen, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
A feeling of powerlessness surged into my heart like a tide.
Vitya’s holy sword pierced into the ground with a clang. The sword body emitted a biting coldness, instantly forming an ice barrier on the ground, blocking the scattered star core fragments outside.
Inside the barrier, ice crystals sparkled, like a miniature world of ice and snow.
Vitya’s voice was still cold, but with a slight tremor: “Contractor…your energy is contaminating Theresa’s Contract!” She turned to look at Lin Xiaobei. Theresa’s Contract was the source of Vitya’s power. Once it was contaminated, the consequences would be disastrous.
“Damn it!” Lin Xiaobei cursed inwardly. He could feel the contract energy in his body surging uncontrollably, as if trying to break free from his restraints.
He knew it was Carrier’s doing.
This guy is simply like a bug, haunting us!
Seeing this, Kafka raised the virtual gun without hesitation and fired wildly at the scattered star core fragments.
Dazzling beams of energy pierced through the void and poured down like a meteor shower.
However, what was shocking was that those imaginary bullets were assimilated and absorbed the moment they came into contact with the star core fragments!
“What the hell?!” Kafka widened her eyes in disbelief. This was imaginary energy that could penetrate an interstellar battleship, but it had no effect on these fragments!
It feels like punching cotton, with no place to put the force.
At this moment, the rune of the Space-Time Administration on Su Yu’s chest suddenly exploded, like a blooming blood-red mandala, enchanting and weird.
Su Yu’s body was shaking violently, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked like she would fall down at any moment.
She gritted her teeth and used up her last bit of strength to shout to Lin Xiaobei: “Use my consciousness chip… to activate the purification program of the first-generation system!” Her voice was weak and hoarse, but with unquestionable firmness.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart was shaken, and he injected the energy of the contract card in his hand into the star core fragments without hesitation.
With the injection of energy, the fragments that originally emitted a faint glow actually began to emit a dazzling light, like stars rising in the night sky.
At the same time, the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet actually re-condensed in the void and gradually restored its original form.
The fleet’s afterimage let out a deafening roar, and like a giant dragon awakening, it rushed towards the star core fragments…
Lin Xiaobei looked at the incredible scene in front of him, his heart full of hope, but he also felt a little uneasy.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
“Haha…” A deep voice suddenly came from the star core fragments, “The fun… has just begun…”
Kyriel’s imaginary core, like a rotten peach, sizzled out of the star core fragments, emitting a disgusting stench.
The surface of the core was covered with twisted blood vessel-like lines, pulsating with a heart-pounding purple-black light.
It greedily stared at the gradually taking shape of Chen Hao’s fleet’s afterimage, and let out a creepy shrill laugh: “The consciousness of the fleet’s afterimage… will become my new container!” The sound was like fingernails scratching on a blackboard, making people’s teeth itch.
In the blink of an eye, the holy sword in Vitya’s hand, with its biting coldness, pierced Lin Xiaobei’s shoulder without any warning!
With a “puff”, blood splattered, staining Vitia’s silver-white armor red.
Lin Xiaobei groaned and felt a sharp pain coming from his shoulder, as if he was pierced by thousands of needles.
He stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief, looking at Vitya’s expressionless face, and was speechless for a moment.
This reversal is even more unexpected than watching Guo Jingming’s movies!
“Fuck! What are you doing, Vitya?!” The afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet roared, and the muzzles of the guns on the ships were all aimed at Vitya.
Could this woman be a hidden villain?
Vitia had a blank expression on her face and empty eyes, as if she was controlled by some force.
She mechanically turned her head and looked at Kyriel’s imaginary core, and said in a cold tone: “Instructions received… Clear the interference factors…”
Oh my god, it turns out he is under control!
Lin Xiaobei cursed inwardly, this plot is even more ridiculous than a Qiong Yao drama!
He endured the severe pain and clenched his teeth. Suddenly, dazzling twin runes appeared on the contract card on his wrist, like two intertwined little dragons, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
This energy instantly reversed the attack energy of the holy sword, forming a huge stardust vortex that enveloped Vitya.
“The day the fleet was destroyed…you witnessed the truth with your own eyes!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was like a judgment from hell, with unquestionable majesty.
His eyes were red, and at that moment, he was no longer the cowardly otaku, but a soldier with a heavy mission!
Vitia’s body trembled violently. In the vortex of stardust, countless fragments of memory flashed by like a revolving lantern. The tragic scene of the fleet’s destruction, Kyriel’s conspiracy, and… Lin Xiaobei’s desperate eyes…
Seeing this, Chen Hao’s afterimage reacted immediately and decisively blew up a silver barrier, protecting Vitya and Lin Xiaobei inside.
This barrier is as strong as a Great Wall of Steel, indestructible!
At this moment, the core of the star suddenly projected a holographic image, which contained an order from the top management of the Space-Time Administration: “Eliminate all witnesses… Erase all traces…”
This plot is becoming more and more exciting!
Lin Xiaobei sighed inwardly, this Space-Time Administration Bureau is really not a good group of people!
Vitia’s holy sword and Kariel’s imaginary tentacles stabbed at Lin Xiaobei’s back almost at the same time.
At the critical moment, Lin Xiaobei’s body was suddenly wrapped in a golden light and disappeared on the spot.
The picture freezes at the moment when the fragments of the star core are scattered in various dimensions.
“The game… has just begun…” A cold voice echoed in the void…
Chapter 38: Imaginary Storm: The Final Awakening of the Fleet’s Remnant (Old Version)
At the core of the star, Ikaros’ holographic projection flickered violently. The originally sky-blue electronic eye was now dyed into a chaotic black vortex. The mechanical synthesized sound was distorted, like a strangled roar: “Alert! Alert! Star core fragments are contaminating the dimensional channel! Dimensional stability has dropped to 17%! It is about to collapse!”
This is not a joke!
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank. The dimensional channel collapsed?
Wouldn’t that be the end of the world?
We have to find a solution quickly!
At the same time, a cold light flashed in Kafka’s purple eyes, and the imaginary gun in her hand had already locked onto the scattered star core fragments.
These fragments were like scattered fireflies, flashing a faint blue light, floating and spinning in the void.
But at the moment she pulled the trigger, something strange happened!
Each piece of debris seemed to be endowed with life, stretching out slender and twisted imaginary tentacles, twisting wildly like a group of crazy octopuses.
“What the hell?!” Kafka cursed. This thing is more troublesome than psoriasis. If you remove one piece, two will grow back!
At this moment, Chen Hao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly exploded with the afterimage of his fleet, turning into thousands of silver light spots, like stars in the night sky, flashing dazzling light.
His deep voice was filled with a hint of pain and urgency: “Contractor… Fleet Awareness… Needs Your… Heartbeat Frequency!”
Heart rate?
Lin Xiaobei was confused. This wasn’t a disco, so why would a high heart rate be required?
Do you want me to give him artificial respiration?
Oh my god, this picture is so beautiful, I can’t imagine it!
Before he could react, the holy sword in Vitya’s hand made a crisp sword sound, and the sword covered with a thin layer of frost actually pierced straight into the core of the star core fragment!
“Vitya! What are you doing?!” Lin Xiaobei was shocked. Is this girl crazy?
If we attack the core of the star, wouldn’t that accelerate the collapse of the dimensional channel?
At the critical moment, Lin Xiaobei made a prompt decision and activated the copy mode [Theresa’s Oath].
The energy of the contract card instantly poured into his body, and a warm current flowed through his body, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
He suddenly grabbed Vitia’s wrist, and a powerful force reversed the direction of the holy sword’s attack.
“Sir Knight…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor, “Why is the frost on your sword… tilted towards the fleet’s afterimage?”
Vitia’s body trembled violently, stardust whirlpools swirled in her eyes, and fragments of memory came flooding back like a tide. The tragic scene of the fleet’s destruction, Kyriel’s conspiracy, and… Lin Xiaobei’s desperate eyes…
The moment the blade of the holy sword touched Chen Hao’s heart, it shattered into stardust and scattered in the void, flickering faintly like a firefly.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the air was filled with tension.
“You…what did you do…” Vitya’s voice trembled with a hint of disbelief.
Lin Xiaobei did not answer, but stared at Chen Hao closely.
The star core fragments are still floating, the imaginary tentacles are still twisting, and the dimensional channel is still collapsing…
Everything seemed like an absurd dream.
“The game…” A cold voice echoed in the void, “It has just begun…”
Before Lin Xiaobei could even breathe a sigh of relief, a disgusting fishy smell filled the air.
In the void, those originally scattered star core fragments, as if summoned by something, madly gathered towards the center, twisted, entangled, and finally formed an extremely huge tentacle!
The surface of this tentacle was covered with dense black lines, pulsating like blood vessels, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
“Hehehe…” Kyriel’s sinister laughter rang out again, with a hint of pride and sarcasm, “Use the consciousness of the fleet’s afterimage… to complete my imaginary evolution!” This old guy, is he playing with evolution here?
Lin Xiaobei complained in his heart, he really thought of himself as a Pokémon!
In a flash, the silver spots of light scattered by Chen Hao suddenly began to vibrate violently, as if stimulated by something. They spun and collided madly, and finally, they reassembled into the shape of the Star Dome Railway Fleet!
This is so cool!
Lin Xiaobei was amazed in his heart, it was worthy of being called the Star Dome Railway, the special effects were simply amazing!
The reorganized fleet was emitting dazzling light all over, and it looked as majestic as gods descending from heaven.
The fleet’s main guns charged up, and a thick beam of light shot straight into the sky, like lightning tearing through the sky, and slammed heavily into the core of the giant tentacle!
“Boom!” With a deafening noise, the core of the tentacle was blown to pieces, and black liquid gushed out like a fountain, emitting a suffocating stench.
The giant tentacles twisted wildly, making shrill roars, and finally, they collapsed powerlessly, turning into stardust and dissipating into the void.
So cool!
Lin Xiaobei was secretly happy, this wave of operations was simply textbook level!
You are worthy of being my brother, so awesome!
However, before he could be happy for too long, Ikaros’s cold synthesized voice sounded again: “Star core fragments have been detected flowing towards the Azure Archives World… The imaginary pollution has reached a critical value!”
The world of Azure Files?!
Lin Xiaobei was shocked. That was a world full of youth and vitality. How could it be polluted by these disgusting imaginary numbers?
At the same time, the dimensional channel began to vibrate violently, like a bridge about to collapse, and it could break at any time.
Ikaros cut off all dimensional channels without hesitation, like a hero cutting off his own arm, trying to stop the spread of imaginary pollution.
“Oh no! If this goes on, all the worlds will be swallowed up by imaginary numbers!” Vitia shouted anxiously, the holy sword in her hand shining brightly, intertwining with the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet, forming a solid barrier, trying to resist the erosion of imaginary numbers.
At this critical moment, Su Yu’s mechanical eye suddenly burst into a dazzling red light, and she said in an almost crazy tone: “The star core needs the blood of the twin contractors… otherwise all worlds will be swallowed by imaginary numbers!”
Twin Contractors? That means… Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank. Could it be… that he had to sacrifice himself?
Without time to think, Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth, took out a sharp dagger, and cut his wrist fiercely.
Blood gushed out like a blooming red rose, blooming in the void.
At this moment, the star core fragments suddenly projected a holographic projection, and the picture showed the scene of the blue archive world!
A huge black vortex is slowly forming, like a black hole that swallows everything, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
“Teacher… I’m… scared…” A weak voice came out from the projection, with a hint of trembling and despair…
Chapter 39 King’s Contract: The Twin Bonds of the Star Core’s End (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei’s blood bloomed in the void like a blooming red rose.
Blood gushed out and dripped onto the fragments of the star core. In an instant, a faint blue light appeared on the surface of the fragments.
At the same time, the holographic projection image became clearer, and the scene of the blue archive world was in full view.
In the center of the black vortex, the phantom of the Azure Archives Academy was looming in the distortion, and everything seemed so unreal.
Suddenly, a weak voice came from the projection, with a hint of trembling and despair: “Teacher… I… am afraid…”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank suddenly. He was very familiar with that voice.
It’s Su Yu!
She must be trapped in the core of the academy, trapped by the imaginary pollution.
Lin Xiaobei gritted his teeth, a strong sense of anger and responsibility surged in his heart.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
Kyriel’s voice came from the void, with a hint of coldness and pride: “Student weapons will become the carriers of the new imaginary core!” His words were like a flash of lightning, tearing through the silent void and making everyone present feel a chill.
The afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet suddenly flashed, and his eyes became extremely determined.
“The resonance of Catalina’s contract card,” Chen Hao whispered, and the communicator in his hand issued a low prompt tone, “Fleet Log No. 49…Kairel’s imaginary anchor point is in the core of the academy!”
The holy sword in Vitya’s hand shone brightly. She took a deep breath and pointed the tip of the sword at the dimensional crack.
“In the name of Theresa… block the pollution of the star core fragments!” She shouted sternly, and the holy sword was like a blade of light, piercing into the dimensional crack without hesitation.
In an instant, the crack was blocked by a golden barrier, and the imaginary energy was temporarily contained.
However, at this moment, Kafka’s imaginary gun suddenly swept out several blue beams, sweeping across the polluted blue file student phantoms in the void.
Those phantoms gradually dissipated and turned into nothingness under the illumination of the beam of light.
Kafka’s eyes flashed with determination: “We cannot let the imaginary pollution spread. We must eliminate all the contaminated individuals.”
Lin Xiaobei did not hesitate. He took out the Star Core Contract Card and felt the powerful force contained in it.
He injected the energy of the contract card into the fragments of the star core, as if a ray of light penetrated the darkness.
The cracks on the surface of the star core fragments gradually healed, and the light became brighter.
Suddenly, the afterimage of Chen Hao’s fleet suddenly exploded with a silver light stream, and the light poured down like a waterfall, covering the entire space.
“Fleet Log No. 49…Keriel’s imaginary anchor is at the core of the academy!” Chen Hao’s voice was like thunder, echoing in the void, and all eyes were focused on the dimensional rift.
Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles penetrated the dimensional cracks, slithered out like a poisonous snake, and headed straight for Lin Xiaobei.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart skipped a beat and he reacted instinctively, trying to dodge.
But at this moment, Vitya’s holy sword suddenly stabbed out from behind and pierced his chest.
Blood instantly dyed Lin Xiaobei’s clothes red, and he felt a sharp pain, but the energy in the contract card reversed the attack at this moment, forming a stardust barrier that completely blocked Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles outside the barrier.
“Xiaobei!” Chen Hao and Kafka shouted at the same time. Lin Xiaobei clenched his teeth, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “I’m fine… As long as I can stop Carrier…”
At this critical moment, Su Yu’s real body suddenly appeared next to the star core fragment. The key of the Space Time Administration in her hand flashed, and she quickly stuffed it into the star core fragment.
A trace of confusion flashed through Lin Xiaobei’s mind, but time did not allow him to think any further.
“The core of the star needs the blood of the twin contractors…” Su Yu’s voice sounded in the void, full of firmness and determination.
Lin Xiaobei’s blood continued to drip onto the star core fragments, and the light of the fragments became more dazzling.
Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles struggled violently under the blockade of the stardust barrier, but could not break through.
The energy from Lin Xiaobei’s contract card gradually penetrated into the star core fragments, purifying the imaginary pollution in them.
At this moment, the black vortex of the blue archive world suddenly began to shrink, and the imaginary energy was gradually dissipated.
The shadow of the core of the academy also became clear, and Su Yu’s figure shone brightly in it.
“Kyrel, you are doomed to lose…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was weak, but full of the determination of victory.
Kyriel’s imaginary tentacles finally fell down powerlessly and turned into nothingness.
The light of the star core fragments gradually converged and eventually became calm.
Vitya’s holy sword was slowly pulled out from Lin Xiaobei’s chest. Lin Xiaobei felt relieved and fell to the ground weakly.
Chen Hao and Kafka immediately stepped forward and helped him up.
“Xiaobei, you are the best…” Chen Hao’s voice was choked with sobs.
Lin Xiaobei smiled slightly, his eyes full of determination: “We… haven’t won yet…”
In the light of the star core fragments, Su Yu’s figure gradually became clear, and her eyes were filled with infinite hope for the future.
The dimensional rift gradually healed and everything returned to normal.
“Next…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice echoed in the void, filled with new determination and courage.
Su Yu’s words were like a thunder, exploding in everyone’s ears.
“Use the blood of the twin contractors… to purify all imaginary pollution!” This sudden change made Lin Xiaobei’s head buzz, as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping past.
Twin contract?
So I need to find a partner to bleed with me?
Just when his mind was full of question marks, the key of the Space Time Administration in Su Yu’s hand seemed to be sucked by something and embedded into the star core fragments.
The fragments emitted a dazzling light, like a disco ball at midnight, blinding people.
At the same time, the afterimages of Chen Hao’s fleet and the energy of Vitya’s holy sword, as if they had made an appointment, intertwined together to form a silver beam of light that penetrated the dimension. The scene was even cooler than Ultraman’s ultimate move.
The beam of light pierced directly into the fragments of the star core, causing the entire space to tremble, as if it would explode on the spot in the next second.
Suddenly, a huge holographic projection appeared above the core of the star, and a group of old guys in suits and leather shoes, who looked not to be trifled with, appeared on the screen.
Needless to say, it must be a high-ranking official of the Space-Time Administration.
“The zeroth generation system requires the consciousness of the twin contractors… to control the imaginary dimension!” said an old man in an emotionless electronic voice, and the tone was as if he was reading a supermarket discount promotion advertisement.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
What are these old guys doing again?
Before he could figure it out, the scene suddenly froze in the blue archive world.
The students, who were originally full of youth, suddenly had strange red eyes. Their eyes were even scarier than Sadako in a horror movie.
Lin Xiaobei got goosebumps. This scene reminded him of horror games he had played before. It was a complete scene of everyone being possessed by evil spirits.
Then, Kyriel’s creepy imaginary voice rang out in the dimensional rift. That eerie laughter was like the cry of an owl at midnight, sending chills down people’s spines.
“Hehehe…it seems like the fun has just begun…”
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath. The plot was getting more and more outrageous.
He felt like he had fallen into a huge vortex of conspiracy, being pushed forward by an invisible force, with no idea what would happen next.
At this moment, he felt a burning pain coming from his chest. He looked down and saw that Vitya’s holy sword was actually stuck in his chest!
“Oh my god! Vitya, what are you doing? You are murdering your husband!” Lin Xiaobei grimaced in pain. This girl was too cruel!
Vitya looked at him expressionlessly, “This is… a necessary sacrifice…” She spoke slowly, her tone as cold as ice.
Lin Xiaobei felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. What kind of sacrifice was that?
He hasn’t lived enough!
Just when he wanted to complain, he suddenly felt a strong energy surge into his body, and then his consciousness began to become blurred…
“Xiaobei! Hold on!” Chen Hao’s voice rang in his ears, but it sounded as if it was through a thick layer of glass, distant and blurry.
Lin Xiaobei felt like he was being sucked into a huge vortex, and everything around him was distorted.
Countless images flashed before his eyes, including the original god’s continent of Teyvat, the interstellar train of the Star Dome Railway, and the Academy City of the Azure Archives…
Finally, his eyes fixed on a familiar figure.
That was Qian Ji. She was holding a fragment of the star core and holding high her graduation certificate. She was standing at the graduation ceremony of the Azure Files, with a bright smile on her face…
“Happy graduation…” Lin Xiaobei’s consciousness gradually faded, leaving only this last faint whisper…
Chapter 40: School Crisis: Contaminated Graduation Ceremony (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei felt like he had fallen into a washing machine, the world was spinning and his internal organs were churning.
When he finally came to his senses, he found himself standing in a…how should I put it, a rather youthful place.
The sun was shining, flags were flying, and the air was filled with some kind of sweet aroma, probably…cheap strawberry shortcake?
“Graduation ceremony? Which galgame have I traveled to?” Lin Xiaobei rubbed his temple, looking confused.
Wait, galgame? This style of painting is wrong!
He looked closely and saw a girl in a student union uniform holding a glittering fragment on the podium – wait, why does that thing look so much like a star core fragment? !
She held up her diploma with a weird smile on her face.
“With the power of imaginary numbers… I grant you the honor of becoming weapons!” What the hell is this second-year dialogue? !
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, a familiar figure rushed out from the crowd. It was the principal of Black Steel Academy, Shirasu Azusa.
She held a tactical dagger in her hand, pointing the muzzle directly at the girl on the podium: “Principal’s order: immediately terminate the ‘coming of age’ ceremony!”
Boy, this is for real!
Lin Xiaobei felt his adrenaline starting to surge. This was much more exciting than playing VR games!
At this moment, the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist suddenly began to heat up, and the silver runes seemed to come alive and moved across his skin.
Immediately afterwards, a huge shadow of a holy sword appeared out of thin air, creating a strange resonance with Baizhou Azusa’s tactical dagger.
“Twin Contractors! The Holy Knights need your star core authority!” A proud voice sounded in his ears. Lin Xiaobei knew without turning around that this was Katarina, his old friend (?
)
“Oh my god, what’s going on? Dual world linkage?” Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain was freezing. The plot development was too abrupt!
Before he could sort out his thoughts, something even stranger happened.
The students who were originally sitting quietly in the audience suddenly had red eyes and rushed towards the crowd around them like zombies.
“Ahhh! Help!”
“My strawberry shortcake!”
“My diploma!”
The scene suddenly became a mess, with screams, cries, and the sounds of tables and chairs collapsing one after another.
At the same time, a holographic projection appeared in the air, it was Winter’s unchanging poker face.
“The star core fragments are synchronizing the combat data of the Azure Archives… It is recommended to start the copy mode!” Winter’s voice was as calm as ever, as if all this was within her expectations.
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and felt goose bumps all over his body.
This copy is quite interesting!
“Katarina, it looks like we’ll have to fight side by side this time!” Lin Xiaobei’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Hmph, don’t expect me to thank you. I’m only doing this for the glory of the Knights of the Holy Relic!” Katarina snorted proudly, but the holy sword in her hand was already ready to go.
“Principal Bai Zhouzi, it seems we have to deal with these contaminated students first!” Lin Xiaobei turned his head and looked at Bai Zhouzi.
Bai Zhouzi nodded, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: “For the future of the students, I have no choice but to do this!”
“Okay, let’s go!” Lin Xiaobei shouted, the contract card on his wrist glowed brighter, and the shadow of Katarina’s holy sword became more solid.
“Wait…” A faint voice suddenly sounded.
Katarina swung the holy sword, a golden light flashed, clean and neat!
The three “graduates” who originally had hideous faces and red eyes were cut in half in an instant.
However, the expected blood splatter did not appear, instead there was a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction and sparks flying.
At the broken part of the “student’s” body, a mechanical structure flashing with strange purple light was revealed, making a crackling sound.
“Oh my god, is this a Gundam model?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain. The style of the painting changed too quickly!
A burnt smell mixed with the sweetness of cheap strawberry cake stimulated his sense of smell and made his stomach churn.
Katarina groaned and knelt on one knee, with the holy sword supporting her body.
Her face was pale and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
“The contractor’s star core… must be purified… the imaginary anchor point!” She said intermittently, with a hint of pain in her voice.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart tightened.
Catalina’s current state is clearly an energy backlash!
This imaginary number thing is really tricky!
Qianci stood on the podium, his originally weird smile became even more distorted at this moment, and the star core fragment in his hand expanded into a huge black vortex, like a black hole that swallowed everything.
“With the authority of the student council president… start the weapon awakening procedure!” Her voice was sharp and piercing, like fingernails scratching on a blackboard, creepy.
The black vortex emitted a powerful suction force, sucking in the surrounding tables, chairs, colorful flags, and even the air.
The severed remains of the “students” also began to tremble, and the purple light flashed more violently.
“Oh no, this woman is about to use her ultimate move!” Lin Xiaobei cursed inwardly, feeling a strong sense of oppression coming towards him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
At this critical moment, Bai Zhouzi made a surprising move!
Without hesitation, she stabbed the tactical dagger in her left arm, and blood instantly stained her uniform red.
“The principal’s blood… can temporarily suppress… imaginary number pollution!” She clenched her teeth, her face becoming paler due to blood loss, but she still stood firmly in front of Lin Xiaobei, like an indestructible barrier.
A faint smell of blood permeated the air, mixing with the burnt smell and strawberry cake smell to form a weird “doomsday dessert” atmosphere.
Lin Xiaobei could even feel the tension and fear in the air, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Katarina’s holy sword and Shirasu Azusa’s blood-stained dagger intertwined together, forming a dazzling curtain of light that enveloped Lin Xiaobei.
In the light curtain, countless runes flickered, as if some mysterious ritual was being performed.
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and looked determined.
He knew that now was not the time to hesitate!
The contract card on his wrist glowed hotly, as if responding to his determination.
“The copy is started! [Oath of the Holy Knight]!” Lin Xiaobei roared, and the contract card on his wrist shone brightly. A golden light shot up into the sky, forming a huge golden vortex in the air.
In the vortex, a holy sword surrounded by black aura slowly emerged.
That was the first generation holy sword, but now it had been contaminated by imaginary numbers and was emitting a disturbing aura.
“Katarina, it looks like we have to purify this thing first!” Lin Xiaobei looked at the contaminated holy sword.
Just when Lin Xiaobei cut his wrist and was about to purify the holy sword with his own blood, something strange happened!
The graduation ceremony ribbons that were originally floating in the air suddenly seemed to come alive, turning into countless stardust, wrapping around Qianci’s neck and hanging her high.
“Ahem…what’s going on…” Qian Ji struggled, his face turning from astonishment to fear.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, the scene was frozen at the moment when Lin Xiaobei cut his wrist and blood dripped onto the contaminated holy sword…
“What… did you do…” Bai Zhouzi’s voice trembled, and she stuffed the blood-stained tactical dagger into Lin Xiaobei’s palm…
Chapter 41 Bloody School Festival: The Contractor’s Ambiguous Choice (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei gripped the dagger tightly and felt the warmth and wetness of Bai Zhouzi’s palm.
At this moment, he felt unprecedented pressure and sense of responsibility.
There was firmness and determination in Baizhou Zi’s eyes, as if telling him that this was the only choice.
“Contractor…use my blood to start the purification process!” Bai Zhouzi’s voice was low and firm, as if she had made a decision that could not be reversed.
Katarina suddenly rushed over from the side, grabbed the corner of Shirasu Azusa’s clothes, and said anxiously: “The holy sword needs a living carrier to maintain resonance! Without a living carrier, the purification process cannot be completed!”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart was beating violently at that moment, as if resonating with Bai Zhouzi’s heartbeat.
He felt a strong resonance, as if their hearts were closely connected.
At this moment, the fragments of Qianci’s star core suddenly pierced through the dome of the venue and fell like a meteor.
The breath of imaginary numbers permeated the air, making people feel a chill that penetrates the bones.
“The final form of the imaginary weapon… is to devour the bonds of the contractor!” Qian Ji’s voice was filled with coldness and malice, and her eyes flashed with sparks of madness.
Lin Xiaobei felt a hot touch in the palm of his hand; it was Bai Zhouzi’s blood.
He knew that time was running out and they had to make a decision.
Katarina’s holy sword suddenly split into thousands of light points, flashing in the sky like stars.
“The blood of the twin contractors… must be injected into the purification core at the same time!” Katarina’s voice was firm and decisive.
Bai Zhouzi’s tactical dagger slashed towards her heart. Her eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness: “The principal’s blood can temporarily seal the star core!”
At this critical moment, Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt a powerful force surging out from the contract card, resonating strongly with Bai Zhouzi’s heartbeat.
He felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, as if their minds had merged into one.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly hugged Bai Zhouzi’s trembling shoulders: Lin Xiaobei suddenly hugged Bai Zhouzi’s trembling shoulders, and a faint smell of disinfectant mixed with the unique fragrance of a young girl entered her nose.
He could feel the coldness of her body and the tenseness of her muscles, like a wounded kitten, wanting to get closer but afraid of being hurt.
“Your graduation ceremony… hasn’t even started yet, and you haven’t even started the school festival cosplay yet!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice trembled a little, but his tone was extremely firm, as if he was talking to Shirasu Azusa, but more like he was talking to himself.
He held her tightly, feeling her body trembling, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart.
This is more than just sympathy, it’s more like… an urge to protect.
At the same time, Katarina’s holy sword turned into a silver lightning, with a sound of breaking through the air, and accurately wrapped around Qianji.
The silver chains seemed to have life, tightly binding Qianci’s limbs and neck, making her unable to move.
“Let me go! You…traitors!” Qianci struggled frantically, but the silver chain became tighter and tighter, making a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction.
The fragments of the star core burst out with a dazzling light in Qianji’s body, like a small sun, instantly illuminating the entire venue.
The holographic projection of Winter also began to distort violently, making a harsh noise, as if it was disturbed by something.
“Secret Order No. 37 of the Space-Time Administration has been detected… The principal codenamed ‘Shirasu’ has never existed!” Lin Dong’s voice became unusually sharp, with a mechanical coldness and ruthlessness.
These words exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s ears like thunder. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Zhouzi.
“What… never existed?” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself. He couldn’t understand the meaning of Lin Dong’s words.
Could it be that Baizhou Zi’s existence itself is a lie?
Baizhou Zi’s body began to become transparent, like a phantom that was about to disappear.
Her figure gradually faded away in the stardust, as if she was swallowed up by some mysterious power.
Before disappearing completely, Bai Zhouzi gently raised her hand and touched Lin Xiaobei’s cheek with her slightly cool fingertips.
The touch was soft and warm, like the brush of a feather or a spring breeze on the face, causing Lin Xiaobei’s heart to surge with an inexplicable excitement.
“In the next world… please help me tell the students… the graduation ceremony ribbons… should be pink…” Baizhou Azusa’s voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared into the air.
Lin Xiaobei stood there in a daze, feeling the remaining warmth on his cheek, his heart filled with loss and confusion.
He stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but only grabbed nothing.
“No… this is impossible…” Lin Xiaobei closed his eyes in pain. He could not accept Bai Zhouzi’s departure.
He had clearly just met her, he clearly had a lot to say to her, he clearly…
At this moment, Katarina’s holy sword, with the force of thunder, pierced into Lin Xiaobei’s chest without any warning!
At that moment, Lin Xiaobei felt as if his heart was pierced by a sharp blade, and the intense pain instantly spread throughout his body.
He stared at Katarina with wide eyes in disbelief.
“You…why…” Lin Xiaobei uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice hoarse and weak.
The scene froze at the moment when Katarina’s holy sword pierced Lin Xiaobei’s chest.
The blood, like a blooming rose, blossomed with enchanting and sad colors on Lin Xiaobei’s chest.
Time seemed to stand still and the air seemed to freeze.
At this moment, Katarina’s holy sword suddenly burst into a dazzling light, like a black hole, madly absorbing the contract energy in Lin Xiaobei’s body…
Chapter 42: Holy Relics Counterattack: The End Resonance of the Two Worlds Contract (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei felt that he must be hallucinating.
What the hell was Catalina’s cold voice saying, with a hint of holiness in it?
The blood of the twin contractors?
Holy resonance?
He wanted to look down at the holy sword on his chest that was still shining with dazzling light, but found that his body was completely out of control.
The pain swept over like a tsunami, and all the internal organs seemed to be turned into a paste.
“I…shit!”
Lin Xiaobei uttered two words with difficulty, feeling his consciousness slipping away rapidly.
However, what made him even more stunned was yet to come.
The students of the Blue Files, who were originally like frightened birds, suddenly became as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their eyes changed one by one.
They are no longer afraid or shrinking back, but are instead determined to face death head on.
Wait, what are they wearing?!
The girls who were originally wearing JK uniforms, sailor suits, or various strange costumes were suddenly covered with a layer of silver-white paladin armor.
The armor has a simple style, smooth lines, and a strong European medieval style.
The helmet is decorated with feathers symbolizing holiness, and the emblem of the Knights of the Holy Order is engraved on the chest.
Is this… is this a group cosplay?!
Lin Xiaobei was going crazy.
He had seen cosplay, but never anything this outrageous!
Moreover, these students are cosplaying as Katarina’s Holy Knights?
Isn’t this script a bit too magical?!
“For justice!”
“For love!”
“For world peace!”
The girls shouted slogans that were full of second-year feelings in unison, brandished their weapons, and charged towards those imaginary monsters.
The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.
The imaginary monsters, which originally had an absolute advantage, were caught off guard by this sudden change, and for a moment they were unable to resist.
“This…this is impossible!”
There was a slight tremor in Qian Ji’s voice.
Her originally calm expression finally showed a crack.
The star core fragments around her began to expand wildly, becoming larger and larger, and the color becoming darker and darker.
In the end, the fragment of the star core turned into a black giant tens of meters tall.
The giant exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, as if it were a demon from the abyss.
“The final form of the imaginary weapon… is to devour the bond itself!”
Qian Ji’s voice was like a whisper from hell, making people shudder.
She opened her hands, and the black giant did the same.
A powerful suction force came from the colossus, and everything around it began to distort and deform, as if it was about to be swallowed up.
Lin Xiaobei felt as if his body was being torn apart and was in excruciating pain.
At this critical moment, he suddenly felt a burning sensation from the contract card on his wrist.
He looked down and saw a shadow appearing on the contract card that was originally empty.
It was an exquisitely shaped tactical dagger with some tiny patterns engraved on the blade, which flashed a cold light under the light.
This dagger… belongs to Shirasu Azusa!
Lin Xiaobei’s heart moved, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
“Use the bond of holy relics and black steel… to purify the imaginary pollution!”
Katarina’s voice rang out again, and her holy sword burst into an even brighter light.
At the same time, the shadow of the dagger on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist also lit up, and a silver beam of light shot out from the dagger, interweaving with the light of Catalina’s Holy Sword, forming a powerful energy.
That energy carried a holy glow, as if it could purify all the filth in the world.
The silver beam of light shot towards the black giant, and wherever it passed, the imaginary energy melted like ice and snow.
However, at this critical moment, the black giant suddenly projected a holographic image.
A line of cold words appeared in the image:
“Override Directive 117…”
After the text, there was a complex code and a familiar emblem—that was the logo of the Spacetime Administration!
What exactly happened?
What does this instruction mean?
More importantly, why did the Space-Time Administration suddenly intervene in this battle?
Winter’s true identity suddenly revealed: Winter, or rather, what should be called the “personality container of the zero-generation system” at this moment. Its mechanical voice actually carried a hint of…excitement?
“I am the personality container of the zero-generation system…the star core needs the memories of the twin contractors!” This sentence exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind like a thunder.
Twin Contractors?
memory?
This amount of information is so overwhelming that his brain can hardly process it!
What made him even more stunned was that as soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, the contract card on his wrist suddenly became scorching hot, burning him as if he was holding a branding iron!
An inexplicable force drove him to involuntarily cut his wrist with the dagger fragment.
Blood dripped onto the contract card, and at that moment, the card seemed to come alive, emitting a dazzling light.
In the light, countless figures emerged, including Pecorina, Kokoro, Kael… the characters from “Princess Connect” appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei one after another. Their armor was shining and their eyes were firm, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
My goodness, this looks like a gang fight is about to break out!
At the same time, the role-playing costumes of the students of “Blue Files” began to change.
The armor, which originally only looked real, actually began to emit a metallic luster and became real.
The weapons in their hands also began to transform. The original toy guns and wooden swords turned into sharp blades shining with stardust light!
“The pledge made at the graduation ceremony… never betray!” the girls shouted in unison, their voices full of power.
This scene is even more exciting than a concert!
Lin Xiaobei felt his blood boiling and he wished he could charge into battle with them.
The power of the two worlds converged together, forming a powerful energy wave that impacted everything around it.
The fragments of Qianji’s star core began to tremble violently under the impact of this energy, and the cracks became larger and larger. Finally, it exploded with a loud bang, turning into countless stardust and dissipating in the air.
“No… Impossible!” Qian Ji looked at the scene in disbelief. Her plan was actually ruined like this?
Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei.
That was Bai Zhouzi’s holographic projection. She looked at Lin Xiaobei with worry in her eyes and said anxiously, “Contractor… the true power of the star core… is protection, not sacrifice!”
What does she mean by this?
Before Lin Xiaobei had time to think about it, he felt a sharp pain coming from his chest.
He looked down and saw that Katarina’s holy sword had… pierced his heart!
What?! What kind of a development is this? Lin Xiaobei felt like his worldview was about to collapse.
The picture froze at this moment, Catalina’s holy sword pierced Lin Xiaobei’s heart, and blood splattered.
A huge shadow slowly emerged from the stardust. That was… the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration!
Please give me flowers, collections and rewards, thank you!
Chapter 43 Bloody School Festival: The Principal’s Tenderness and Lies (Old Version)
The fragments of the star core, like vicious thorns, pierced Baizhou Zi’s left shoulder.
The bright red blood bloomed on her white uniform like sad and beautiful cherry blossoms.
She groaned and staggered back, but endured the severe pain and stuffed a tactical dagger into Lin Xiaobei’s hand. Her voice was weak but firm: “Contractor… Use my contract card to start the purification process! Quick!”
Lin Xiaobei only felt a chill in his palm. The touch of the metal carried the remaining body temperature of Bai Zhouzi, which made his heart tremble.
The next second, the shadow of the contract card appeared on his wrist, and a faint blue light flickered, as if responding to Baizhou Zi’s call.
At the same time, a strange warm current flowed into his body from the contract card. It felt like Shirasu Azusa’s body temperature was being transmitted to his fingertips through the system.
“Xiaobei!” Lin Xiaoxia exclaimed, her eyes instantly turning red.
She rushed over and pressed Lin Xiaobei’s bleeding wrist. Her fingertips trembled as she hurriedly took out a bandage from her uniform pocket and bandaged him.
Her breathing was rapid, with a hint of girlish fragrance, gently brushing Lin Xiaobei’s earlobe, making his heart inexplicably moved.
This ambiguous atmosphere did not allow him to think too much.
Katarina’s holy sword and Shirasu Azusa’s dagger intertwined in the void to form a dazzling chain of light, as if connecting the power of two worlds.
Suddenly, a miracle happened!
The armor of those paladins wearing the “Azure Files” student cosplay costumes suddenly burst into dazzling golden light, like gods descending from heaven.
“The graduation ceremony pledge takes effect! In the name of bonds–” Three thousand students shouted in unison, with great momentum, and their cos weapons drew brilliant arcs of light in the air.
Purified cracks actually appeared on the surface of the star core fragments, and they gradually dissipated as if they were washed by holy light.
“Hmph, naive!” Qian Ji sneered. She suddenly activated the student weapon mode. The originally cute cosplay costume instantly transformed into a technologically advanced mechanical exoskeleton, which was hideous and terrifying.
“The final form of the imaginary weapon is… to devour the bond itself!”
The black energy, like a maggot attached to the bone, wrapped around Katarina’s holy sword, making a sizzling corrosion sound.
A bright red countdown appeared on Shirasu Azusa’s contract card: “03:00…Self-destruction program has been activated!”
“No…Bai Zhouzi…are you crazy?!” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes and looked at everything happening in front of him in disbelief.
At this critical moment, a cold electronic synthesized voice forcibly cut into the chaotic battlefield: “Be careful! She is not the real Shirasu Azusa!” The holographic projection of winter, flashing with a faint blue light, appeared in front of everyone… No need to modify
Chinese translation:
The holographic projection of winter, like a cold blue lightning, split the crazy atmosphere of the Bloody Academy Festival.
“Be careful! She is not the real Baizhou Zi at all!” The electronic synthesized voice was hoarse with electricity, like a basin of ice water, which made Lin Xiaobei feel cold to the core.
Before he finished speaking, the situation on the battlefield, which had been evenly matched, suddenly changed.
Katarina was originally being suppressed by Qianji and was retreating step by step, but at this moment she was as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood. The holy sword was blessed with a strengthening effect, and the sword body that was originally corroded by black energy and had pits and holes suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light.
“What?!” Qianji’s expression twisted instantly, and her originally cute face was now full of hideousness.
She frantically activated her mechanical exoskeleton, trying to stop Katarina’s attack, but it was too late.
Katarina roared, and the holy sword was like a meteor that streaked across the night sky. With an unstoppable momentum, she fiercely stabbed at “Shirasu Azusa”.
“Puff!”
With a dull thud, the holy sword pierced through Baizhou Azusa’s chest without any hindrance.
There was no blood splattering, no wails of pain, only a mechanical core flashing with an eerie red light in “her” chest.
Lin Xiaobei was very familiar with the shape of the core—the humanoid weapon of the Space-Time Administration Bureau!
“As expected!” Katarina snorted coldly, with a smug smile on her proud face, “I was saying, how could the real Shirasu Azusa be controlled by such rubbish!”
“Shirasu Azusa’s” body began to tremble violently, and his originally gentle expression became extremely distorted, like a broken puppet.
“You…you guys…” “Her” voice became hoarse and full of mechanical noises, “You…don’t even think about…stopping…the imaginary…weapons…”
“Baizhou Zi”‘s body exploded like a detonated bomb.
Countless metal fragments flew everywhere, smashing heavily onto the ground like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.
Just when Lin Xiaobei thought the crisis was over, a huge force suddenly pulled him backwards.
“Xiaobei! Go!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was trembling and resolute.
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, he felt a flash before his eyes and found himself being dragged into a familiar space by Lin Xiaoxia – the system space.
“Xiao Xia, what are you doing…” Lin Xiaobei looked at Lin Xiaoxia in confusion.
Lin Xiaoxia’s face was frighteningly pale, and her eyes, which had once been full of vitality, were now filled with struggle and pain.
Her hands tightly grasped Lin Xiaobei’s arms, and her nails dug deeply into his flesh.
“Xiaobei… I’m sorry…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was choked with sobs and she could hardly speak.
“Xiao Xia, what on earth happened?” Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
He vaguely felt that something bad was about to happen.
Lin Xiaoxia took a deep breath and seemed to have made some kind of decision.
She raised her head and looked at Lin Xiaobei with complicated eyes.
“Lin Xiaobei, I am an agent of the Space-Time Administration.” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice, like a thunder, exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
“What?!” Lin Xiaobei’s eyes widened, looking at Lin Xiaoxia in disbelief, “You… you are from the Spacetime Administration?!”
Lin Xiaoxia nodded, unable to hold back her tears any longer, and they fell like beads from a broken string.
“My mission… is to ensure that the imaginary weapons… are not destroyed…” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice was filled with a hint of despair.
Lin Xiaobei just felt his head buzzing, and for a moment, he was unable to accept this fact.
“Why?!” he screamed, his voice full of pain, “Why did you lie to me?!”
Lin Xiaoxia did not answer, but just shed tears silently.
Her tears dripped onto the back of Lin Xiaobei’s hand, carrying the girl’s body temperature, but the moment they came into contact with the system’s energy, they evaporated into wisps of data streams.
That data stream, like an invisible chain, tightly wrapped around Lin Xiaobei’s heart, making him feel suffocated.
Just when Lin Xiaobei was about to collapse, the system space suddenly shook violently.
“Contractor! Hurry! Use your power!” A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
That is… Baizhou Zi’s voice!
Lin Xiaobei suddenly raised his head and saw a ray of light slowly condensing into shape in the void not far away.
A familiar figure appeared in front of him.
That is… the real Shirasu Azusa!
At this moment, Bai Zhouzi was covered in blood and looked miserable.
However, her eyes were still firm and full of tenderness.
“Xiao Bei…” Bai Zhouzi’s voice was weak, but full of power, “True purification requires the memory of the twin contractors… My memory… is the answer!”
After saying that, Bai Zhouzi slowly raised the contract card in his hand and looked at Lin Xiaobei with gentle eyes.
“Trust me…” she whispered.
The next second, Bai Zhouzi suddenly pressed the contract card in his hand into Lin Xiaobei’s heart.
Lin Xiaobei felt his mind go blank, and countless fragments of memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
That is Baizhou Zi’s memory, her past, her pain, and her hope…
At the same time, the shadow of a contract card appeared on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist.
The phantom echoed with the contract card in Baizhou Zi’s hand, emitting a dazzling light.
“00:00…”
Countdown, back to zero.
At this moment, the entire school turned into countless data torrents and disappeared.
Only a suspense and an unknown future are left.
In the torrent of data, the fragments of the star core began to reorganize, and finally, a kilometer-high black giant slowly appeared in the void.
The giant statue exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, as if it was a demon from the abyss.
“Hehehe…”
A familiar voice came from the mechanical sound effects of the Colossus, with a hint of madness and a hint of pride.
Chapter 44: Imaginary Rift: Student Council President’s Declaration of Betrayal (Old Version)
The aftermath of the data torrent has not yet dissipated, and the fragments of the star core are spinning and gathering madly as if controlled by an invisible giant hand, making a teeth-grinding friction sound.
The pieces of debris attracted each other like magnets, and finally, a kilometer-high black giant, like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell, slowly appeared in the void.
It exudes a suffocating sense of oppression, as if it could swallow up all light.
An ominous red light flickered on the surface of the colossus, like countless scarlet eyes, staring coldly at the world.
The air was filled with a burnt smell, which was the remaining trace of data collapse, like a prophecy of the end of the world.
“Hehehe…” A familiar voice came from the mechanical sound effects of the Colossus, carrying a hint of madness and a hint of complacency, like the classic BGM of a villain’s appearance.
“Thank you Contractor for providing us with the purification process – starting the final stage.”
Lin Xiaobei would recognize this voice even if he turned into ashes. It was Qianji!
The student council president who was once gentle and always had a sunny face, seemed like a different person at this moment, and his voice was full of cold mechanical feeling.
As Qian Ji’s voice fell, the belly of the giant suddenly opened, like a huge mouth of the abyss, and three hundred student weapons flew out.
They were wearing familiar Azure Files cosplay costumes, but at this moment, these costumes were no longer simple cosplay, but turned into real combat armor!
The cute bow turned into a sharp blade, the puffy skirt turned into solid metal armor, and even the toy gun in the hand turned into a powerful energy weapon.
This is not just cosplay, it’s simply a fully armed steel warrior!
“Fuck, this development is too exciting!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain. This plot is simply more exciting than any animation series he has ever seen!
Three hundred student weapons spread their wings at the same time, circling in the air, forming a huge circular array that surrounded Lin Xiaobei and Catalina.
Their eyes were cold and heartless, as if they were programmed machines that only knew how to follow orders.
“The bond between the Holy Relic and Black Steel requires sacrifice!” Katarina’s voice suddenly sounded with a hint of determination.
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, he felt a sharp pain in his back and an icy holy sword pierced his body!
“Katarina, you…” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes in disbelief. The severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
There was no expression on Katarina’s face, she just silently thrust the holy sword deeper into Lin Xiaobei’s body.
At the same time, the Baizhouzi contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist suddenly burst into dazzling light, and thousands of golden chains spread out from the contract card, like golden pythons, entwining the cores of the weapons of the three hundred students, binding them tightly.
“What’s going on?” For the first time, a hint of panic appeared in Qianji’s voice.
At this moment, a huge holographic projection suddenly covered the entire battlefield.
In the projection, a man in a white coat was standing in a sci-fi laboratory with a wicked smile on his face.
“Baizhou Zi? That was the first generation weapon template I made three years ago!” The man spoke slowly, it was the winter who disappeared before!
In his data stream, an image of a laboratory exactly like Bai Zhouzi’s emerged, with data from various instruments flashing and cold robotic arms moving around her body, as if conducting some kind of transformation experiment.
“Lin Dong, you…” Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was about to explode. This amount of information was too much!
Lin Dong ignored Lin Xiaobei’s shock and continued, “Thank you for starting the purification process. Now, the game officially begins!”
Catalina drew out the holy sword, blood gushed out, Lin Xiaobei’s eyes went dark and he fainted.
At this moment, Qianthorn on the top of the colossus slowly raised its mechanical arm and aimed it at its heart…
Qianji’s mechanical arm crushed his heart without hesitation, like a precision instrument.
Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of metallic twisting, Qianji’s originally cold expression actually revealed a hint of… relief?
“The student union president is just a shell… the real weapon is… Winter’s Confession!” She spoke these words intermittently in an electronic synthesized voice, as if she had exhausted her last bit of energy. Her body began to disintegrate and turned into countless data fragments that dissipated in the air.
Wait, a letter of repentance?
Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was not enough, the plot was too jumpy!
You were fighting the BOSS in the last second, and the BOSS exploded in the next second, and revealed such a confusing thing!
Before he could react, the disintegrated fragments of the star core suddenly projected a huge three-dimensional map in the void like a projector.
This map…wait, isn’t this the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration? !
Lin Xiaobei recognized it at the first sight. Isn’t this the heavily guarded place he had sneaked into before?
My goodness, this villain is too arrogant, he even exposed his lair!
“Could it be…” A bold idea suddenly flashed through Lin Xiaobei’s mind. Could it be that this so-called “Winter’s Confession” refers to… some secret weapon hidden in the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration?
This is so exciting!
This plot is even more exciting than the anime series he stayed up late to watch!
At this moment, the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist suddenly vibrated wildly, emitting a dazzling light.
The cards seemed to be pulled by some force and flew out from his wrist, surrounding him and forming a huge golden halo.
In the halo, Kiana’s dual guns, General Raiden’s naginata, Seele’s sickle… various weapon shadows complement each other, exuding a suffocating pressure.
“As a king-level contractor–” Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and felt an unprecedented power surging in his body.
At this moment, he is no longer the timid otaku, but the strongest inter-dimensional player!
Suddenly, two cold lights flashed!
Katarina’s holy sword and Shirasu Azusa’s dagger pierced into the core of the golden halo at the same time!
“Idiot! What are you doing?!” Lin Xiaobei was shocked. What was going on?
Are my teammates planning a rebellion?
However, what happened next completely stunned him.
Both the holy sword and the dagger emitted dazzling light, and the two forces blended with each other, rotating like a yin and yang fish, forming a huge energy vortex.
The armor of the three thousand students’ weapons suddenly began to grow in reverse. The originally sharp blades turned into soft feathers, the solid metal armor turned into light silk, and even the energy weapons in their hands turned into colorful magic wands.
Their eyes are no longer cold, but filled with innocent smiles, as if they have returned to their carefree childhood.
“Contract Card Combination Skill – Holy Purification!” Catalina’s voice sounded in Lin Xiaobei’s ears with a hint of smile.
The moment the countdown reached zero, the entire school turned into stardust and dissipated into the void.
Suddenly, Catalina hugged Lin Xiaobei and rolled into a data crack nearby that was flashing with a faint blue light.
“Idiot! The resonance of the holy relics requires the purification of two worlds at the same time!” Catalina’s voice seemed a little unclear in the torrent of data, but Lin Xiaobei heard it clearly.
Two worlds?
Purification?
What is going on here?
Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was totally inadequate. This plot was too brain-burning!
He just felt dizzy and everything in front of him was dark…
“Believe me…” A gentle voice sounded in his ears, and then a warm current flowed into his chest…
Chapter 45: Final Oath: Principal Black Steel’s Last Gift (Old Version)
Darkness, endless darkness.
Lin Xiaobei felt like a sock thrown into a washing machine, tumbling, spinning, and bumping, with his internal organs tangled in a mess.
His ears were filled with sharp whistling sounds, as if thousands of cats were scratching a blackboard at the same time, making his scalp tingle.
Suddenly, a warm current rushed into my chest, like a cup of hot cocoa on a winter day, instantly dispelling the cold and discomfort.
“The real bond is not a contract… it’s the inheritance of memory…” A gentle voice brushed past my ears like a feather.
Shirasu Azusa, the principal of Kurogan Academy, the woman who always looks cold, but at this moment her voice is filled with indescribable tenderness.
Lin Xiaobei tried hard to open his eyes, but all he saw was a flashing stream of data, like an out-of-control electronic fireworks show.
A hand, illusory and transparent, pressed a card into his chest.
The card emitted a warm glow, dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating Baizhou Azusa’s face.
Her body is gradually being digitized, like a sketch being erased by an eraser, disappearing bit by bit.
“Principal!” Lin Xiaobei wanted to grab her hand, but his hand was empty.
At the same time, the eyes of the 3,000 student weapons that were originally as dull as puppets opened at the same time.
Their eyes were no longer empty and lifeless, but were filled with curiosity, doubt, fear…all kinds of emotions flickered in their eyes like lit stars.
“What the hell is going on? A collective resurrection?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain, but an indescribable uneasiness welled up in his heart.
Suddenly, a soft touch came over me.
Catalina, the usually carefree leader of the Knights of the Holy Relic, was like a frightened kitten at this moment. She hugged him tightly and then… kissed him on the lips!
“Shit! What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei’s brain suddenly froze, like an overloaded computer, with a blue screen.
This is not just a romantic plot in an idol drama, but a real transmission of energy!
A powerful energy, like a rushing torrent, rushed into his body madly through this kiss.
“The Purification Ritual of the Stupid Knight!” Katarina’s voice rang in his ears, with a hint of trembling and determination.
The contractual energies of the two people converged in the void, forming a huge golden vortex, like a black hole in the universe, swallowing up everything around it.
“I am subject No. 37… The star core needs the memories of the twin contractors!” A sharp scream suddenly sounded, like glass scratching across a blackboard, so harsh that it made people’s hair stand on end.
Lin Xiaobei looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Qianji’s mechanical body was disintegrating, revealing the real person imprisoned inside.
She struggled and screamed in pain, and her body eventually turned into a data stream and was swallowed by the golden vortex.
Resonance of the two worlds, awakening of the contract, inheritance of memory…these fragmented information rolled in Lin Xiaobei’s mind, but could not be pieced together into a complete picture.
He felt like he had fallen into a huge mystery, unable to find the exit and unable to see the direction clearly.
The golden vortex grew larger and brighter, eventually engulfing him and Katarina completely.
“Hold on to me…” Katarina’s voice sounded in his ears, weak but firm.
Lin Xiaobei held her hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm.
“What will happen next…”
After a dizzying moment, Lin Xiaobei felt like a stone shot from a slingshot, hitting a pile of cotton with a “bang”. It was soft, yet had a strange elasticity.
He struggled to get up, and what he saw almost made his eyes pop out.
What the hell?!
Isn’t this the familiar Black Steel Academy playground?
Why did it feel like it was photoshopped? There were strange spots of light flashing everywhere, and the air was filled with a strange smell that was like a mixture of gasoline and strawberries, which made his nose itchy.
“Xiaobei, you’re finally awake!” A familiar voice exploded in his ears, scaring him so much that he almost jumped up and down on the spot.
Winter?!
The guy who always had a stern face and could only issue tasks like an AI, was now wearing beach pants and a floral shirt, holding a coconut in his hand, lying on a beach chair with a “Ge You-like” look on his face, with a straw in his mouth, leisurely sipping coconut juice.
“What’s going on? Are you pretending to be on vacation?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain.
Lin Dong suddenly became serious. He pointed at Lin Xiaobei’s chest and said in a trembling voice: “The source of imaginary number pollution is… your heart!”
Lin Xiaobei subconsciously looked down at his chest, only to see that the originally empty space was now filled with shining contract cards.
What’s even more strange is that all these cards are pointing at him!
“Oh my god! Such a big deal? Am I the villain?” Lin Xiaobei felt like his head was about to burn.
At this moment, Bai Zhouzi’s figure appeared in the air.
She was wearing a pure white wedding dress, slowly falling like a holy goddess.
But upon closer inspection, her body was like the snow screen on a TV, flickering and looking like it could disappear at any time.
“The wedding vows are effective! In the name of Principal Heigang…” Baizhou Zi’s voice was solemn and sacred, like the bells in a church, echoing throughout the playground.
“Happy graduation! Principal!” Three thousand students shouted at the same time. Their voices surged like a tide, deafening.
The next second, something incredible happened.
The fragments of the star core exploded like fireworks, emitting dazzling light, illuminating the entire playground like day.
“Fuck! This special effect, the money is burning!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but sigh.
The scene changed, and Catalina was in a turbulent data stream. She looked around blankly and found herself hugging a… phantom!
“The duty of the leader of the Knights is to protect the contractor until the last moment.” Katarina’s voice was trembling and resolute.
She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Lin Xiaobei’s disappeared chest. There should have been a contract card there, but now it was empty…
“Wait…” Katarina’s voice stopped abruptly.
Chapter 46 Data Abyss: The Disappeared Contractor and the Principal’s Afterimage (Old Version)
Katarina, the arrogant leader of the Holy Knights, didn’t care about chivalry at all at this moment.
The turbulent flow of data whistled around her, like countless ghosts screaming, piercing her eardrums.
She gritted her teeth, and the holy sword in her hand, the “Sword of Promised Victory”, burst out with unprecedented light.
“For Xiaobei! For justice! Let’s fight!”
She let out a delicate cry, not caring about her ladylike image, and spun like a red top. The holy sword cut through the void and pierced the core of the data stream!
There was a soft sound, as if a balloon was popped.
Katarina felt the holy sword pierce through an invisible barrier, and then a powerful energy wave came like a tsunami, instantly submerging her.
“Hmm…”
She groaned, her mind went blank, and countless images flashed before her eyes like a passing show.
There is the scene of her first meeting with Lin Xiaobei, the scene of the two fighting side by side, and… there are also some girlish thoughts that she herself finds difficult to talk about.
At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded in her ears, cleansing her soul like a clear spring.
“The contractor’s body temperature…disappeared 0.03 seconds before the countdown…”
Katarina looked up suddenly, and saw the afterimage of Shirasu Azusa appearing in front of her at some point.
She was still wearing the pure white wedding dress, her figure swaying as if she would disappear at any moment.
But her eyes were unusually clear, as if they could see through everything.
“Principal?!” Katarina exclaimed. She had never expected to see the afterimage of Shirasu Azusa here.
Baizhou Zi ignored Katarina’s exclamation. She slowly raised her hand, and saw that the shape of her wedding dress was actually a special contract card!
This contract card slowly cast a ray of light, outlining a coordinate in the turbulent data.
That coordinate was exactly the location of Lin Xiaobei’s heart!
“What?!” Catalina’s eyes widened, totally unable to believe what she saw.
At this moment, a cold mechanical voice came from all directions, like the whisper of death.
“Thank you for injecting purifying energy into the students’ weapons…”
Catalina’s face changed and she turned around suddenly, only to see that the originally empty playground was actually filled with densely packed students.
They wear all kinds of role-playing costumes, including cute magical girls, handsome knights, and sexy maids…
But the next second, these students simultaneously tore off their role-playing costumes, revealing what was hidden inside.
Those were pieces of star core fragments that sparkled with eerie light!
“Fuck! These guys actually hid the star core fragments in role-playing costumes!” Katarina couldn’t help but swear. She finally understood Qianji’s plan.
Qian Jue actually wanted to use their purification energy to activate these star core fragments and detonate the entire Black Steel Academy!
“We must not let them succeed!” Katarina gritted her teeth, and the holy sword in her hand burst out with dazzling light again.
Just then, she suddenly felt someone grabbing her arm.
“Stupid knight! Your holy sword is absorbing my contract energy!”
A familiar voice sounded in her ears.
Catalina turned around suddenly and saw Lin Xiaobei’s body emerging from the data stream and appearing in front of her.
But his condition at the moment was very bad. His body was translucent, as if it would disappear at any time.
And his arm was being held tightly by Katarina.
“Xiaobei! You…” Catalina looked at Lin Xiaobei’s weak appearance, her heart filled with guilt.
“Stop talking nonsense! Let me go!” Lin Xiaobei said angrily, “Your holy sword is madly absorbing my contract energy. If this continues, I will disappear completely!”
Hearing this, Katarina quickly let go of her hand.
Only then did she realize that her holy sword was greedily absorbing Lin Xiaobei’s contract energy, and a strange light was flashing on the sword.
“This…what is going on?” Catalina was completely confused.
At this moment, Baizhou Zi’s afterimage suddenly moved.
She slowly raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Qian Ji.
Her eyes were cold and resolute, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
“Sure enough, the culprit is you…”
Her figure flashed and disappeared like a ghost.
Where is she going? What is she going to do?
Catalina’s heart was full of doubts, and she vaguely felt that an even more terrible storm was about to come.
Bai Zhouzi’s afterimage was as erratic as a ghost, but it carried a powerful aura.
Without any hesitation, she passed through the chaotic data stream and floated straight towards Qianci.
Qian Jue, the usually cold and decisive student council president, now had an expression of incredible fear on his face.
“You…what are you?!” Qianji’s voice trembled, as if he had seen some terrible monster.
The afterimage of Shirasu Azusa ignored Qianji’s questions. She just stood quietly in front of Qianji, looking at her with almost pity in her eyes.
“The student council president… is nothing more than… a decoy program for imaginary weapons…” Bai Zhouzi’s voice was intermittent and hoarse like an old phonograph, but with an irresistible majesty.
“What?!” Qian Ji widened his eyes, totally unable to understand what Bai Zhou Zi said.
Bait program?
What does this mean?
Isn’t she the student council president of Black Steel Academy?
She is not…
Before Qianji could react, Baizhou Zi’s afterimage suddenly reached out and gently touched Qianji’s chest.
With a dull thud, Qianji’s body exploded like a broken porcelain doll, and countless star core fragments flew everywhere, as gorgeous as bright fireworks, but also carrying deadly danger.
“What the hell! What’s going on?!” Katarina was so scared that she cursed and quickly raised the holy sword to protect herself.
At this critical moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist.
The light quickly spread, forming a halo composed of countless contract cards, enveloping Lin Xiaobei.
“It’s my turn! Draw a card!” Lin Xiaobei suddenly shouted, his middle school soul burning.
The contract card on the light wheel seemed to be given life and began to spin wildly, making buzzing sounds.
“With the bond of holy relics and black steel… purify the imaginary pollution!” Katarina also felt this powerful force. She raised the holy sword high, and the holy sword and the halo intertwined to form a golden chain, sweeping towards the scattered star core fragments.
With a loud bang, the data stream began to collapse in the reverse direction as if controlled by an invisible giant hand. The originally violent star core fragments were sucked into the golden chains like tamed beasts.
“Awesome! This move is simply awesome!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but give himself a thumbs up. This move was simply awesome!
However, before he could be happy for too long, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He looked down and saw a bright red countdown appearing in the area of ​​his heart.
“00:00…”
What will happen after the countdown ends? Lin Xiaobei’s heart is full of doubts.
Just then, a weak voice sounded in his ears.
“The real imaginary core… is in… Winter’s… consciousness…”
The picture froze at the moment when Bai Zhouzi’s residual image was swallowed by the fragments of the star core. Her figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared.
“Winter…consciousness?” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Who is Winter?
What secrets are hidden in her consciousness?
“Xiaobei!” Katarina’s voice was a little anxious, “Are you okay?”
Lin Xiaobei raised his head and looked at Catalina’s anxious expression. He suddenly felt his heart ache again.
“I… I’m fine…” Lin Xiaobei forced a smile, “Just… a little tired…”
He slowly closed his eyes, feeling his consciousness gradually blurring…
“Wait! Xiaobei!” Catalina stretched out her hand to grab Lin Xiaobei, but missed.
A cold touch suddenly came from behind Lin Xiaobei…
Chapter 47 Bloody Embrace: The Principal’s Last Tenderness (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei felt like he had fallen into an ice hole and his consciousness was frozen to pieces.
There was a buzzing in my ears, and Catalina’s anxious voice seemed to be heard through a layer of frosted glass, not very clear.
Then, he felt a warmth on his back.
It’s not the kind of warmth that comes from being in love, but a kind of…data overload warmth!
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Bai Zhouzi’s familiar smiling face with a hint of relief being infinitely magnified.
However, the person standing in front of him now was more like a bunch of dissipating data afterimages than Baizhou Azusa.
“True purification requires…” Bai Zhouzi’s voice was as gentle as the spring breeze blowing over the willows, but the content made Lin Xiaobei’s scalp tingle instantly, “…the memory exchange of the twin contractors–“
Memory swap?
What the hell is this unfolding?
Should I play the game of “your story, my story, strung together into a beautiful story” with him?
Before he could finish his complaints, two familiar cards suddenly popped out from his chest.
One is his exclusive card for the “Cross-World Dungeon System”, and the other is Shirasu Azusa’s contract card!
The two cards spun wildly in the air. The patterns on the cards seemed to come alive, emitting dazzling golden light.
The golden light intertwined to form a huge golden vortex. The center of the vortex seemed to connect two different worlds!
This is not over yet. Lin Xiaobei felt that countless unfamiliar memory fragments suddenly flooded into his mind, flashing wildly like a slide show played at eight times the speed.
There is the daily life of Black Steel Academy, the despair of fighting against star core fragments, and… winter!
Wait, winter?
Just as he was trying to grasp these memory fragments, something happened to Catalina!
“Katarina! What are you doing!” Lin Xiaobei caught a glimpse of cold light from the corner of his eyes and was instantly scared to death.
Katarina held the holy sword and stabbed it into her chest without hesitation!
The blood instantly dyed her silver armor red, like a blooming blood-red rose, enchanting and resolute.
“The duty of the leader of the Knights…” Katarina’s voice was trembling, but her eyes were firm, “… is to protect the contractor until the last moment!”
The holy sword burst into a dazzling light, and a powerful energy surged out from the wound, like a flood breaking through a dam, rushing madly towards Lin Xiaobei.
Lin Xiaobei felt like a power bank that was forced to run high voltage electricity. His entire body was numb and every cell in his body was screaming wildly.
“Hey, hey, hey! Katarina, stop messing around! I haven’t agreed to be protected by you yet! Besides, what is this? A sad drama? Is this popular now?” Lin Xiaobei was complaining crazily in his heart, but his body was uncontrollably absorbing this powerful energy.
What was even worse was that Catalina’s fingertips were now pressing tightly against his arm!
A feeling like an electric current instantly spread throughout the body.
Where their fingertips touched, data streams surged wildly, forming golden chains that wrapped around each other’s wrists like vines.
An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air, as if time had stood still.
At this critical moment, a familiar voice broke the eerie silence.
“Stop it!”
A data crack suddenly appeared, and Lin Xiaoxia’s figure jumped out from it.
She was panting, her forehead was covered with sweat,
“Lin Xiaoxia? Why are you here?” Lin Xiaobei was confused. Isn’t this plot development too abrupt?
Could it be that the Space-Time Administration is finally going to take action against him?
Lin Xiaoxia did not answer, but just stared at Lin Xiaobei with an extremely complicated look in her eyes.
“The final order from the Space-Time Administration…” Her voice trembled, tears streaming down her face, “…is to ensure Winter’s survival!”
Her tears fell on Lin Xiaobei’s contract card, and as if some mechanism was triggered, the card instantly burst into dazzling light.
A huge holographic projection appeared in front of everyone, like a huge curtain, covering the sky and the sun.
Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes as he looked at the contents on the holographic projection, feeling that his worldview was once again impacted.
“Who is Winter…?” he muttered to himself, a feeling of uneasiness rising in his heart.
Lin Xiaoxia’s tears were like pearls falling from a broken string, dripping onto the ground one by one.
She clenched her teeth, as if she was suppressing something.
Suddenly, she raised her head and her eyes became unusually firm as she looked at Lin Xiaobei.
“Lin Xiaobei, you must…”
“Puff——”
A creepy voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Lin Xiaoxia’s words.
Before Lin Xiaoxia finished her words, a flash of blood suddenly appeared, like a scythe wielded by the god of death, precise and ruthless.
The sound of the sharp blade piercing the flesh was so clear that it made one’s scalp tingle, as if it exploded directly next to the ear.
Lin Xiaobei’s eyes almost popped out, and a strong smell of blood instantly filled the air.
He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief: the data afterimage of Bai Zhouzi with a relieved smile was now holding a sharp blade made of data stream, and pierced Lin Xiaoxia’s heart fiercely!
The plot twist happened too quickly!
This directly transformed into the ultimate boss? !
“You…you…” Lin Xiaoxia’s pupils dilated instantly, and blood gushed out from her wound like a fountain, staining the front of her clothes red.
She turned her head with difficulty and wanted to say something, but could only make intermittent gasps.
“Subject… No. 37…” The afterimage of Shirasu Azusa chuckled, sounding weird and crazy, “…The host… is the carrier of Winter’s… Confession!”
As she finished her words, a black, sticky liquid gushed out from Lin Xiaoxia’s wound like a volcanic eruption.
That was not ordinary blood, but fragments of star cores that contained terrifying energy!
This amount of information is exploding!
It turns out that Lin Xiaoxia is the container of the star core fragments?
Or is it some kind of “confession letter carrier”?
Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain had completely frozen and he was completely unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
This plot is even more exciting than a roller coaster, with one wave after another, it’s almost breathtaking.
At this moment, Katarina roared, and the holy sword in her hand burst into dazzling light.
The light reflected from the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s chest, forming a beam of light that shot up into the sky, as if it was going to tear the entire space apart.
“With the graduation ceremony oath…” Katarina’s voice exploded in the air like thunder, “…purify the bond pollution!”
As she swore her vow, a sacred energy surged in all directions like a tide.
The entire Black Steel Academy began to tremble, the ground shook, and the walls cracked, as if doomsday was coming.
Suddenly, something strange happened!
The students who were originally motionless now looked like activated puppets. They all raised their heads with empty and dull eyes.
The uniforms they were wearing began to mutate, as if coming alive, growing and extending madly, and eventually formed sets of weapons and armor that were full of science fiction!
The originally youthful and beautiful girls instantly turned into cold-blooded and ruthless warriors!
They hold all kinds of strange weapons, like characters from a game, exuding a chilling aura.
This… could this be… the entire cast of “Azure Files” striking back in cosplay? !
Lin Xiaobei couldn’t believe his eyes, this development was too outrageous!
He felt like he had fallen into a large Cosplay scene, and it was the kind of Cosplay where people could die at any time!
“For the future of the academy!”
“For the glory of the teacher!”
“For the victory of justice!”
The students let out deafening shouts and rushed towards the black star core fragments like a tide.
The lights of various weapons intertwined in the air, like gorgeous fireworks, but filled with the breath of death.
Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, the holographic projection that originally covered the entire space suddenly changed.
The originally chaotic picture disappeared in an instant, replaced by a clear and calm picture.
In the picture, a familiar figure slowly appeared – it was Winter!
Winter’s figure floated in the air like a ghost, her expression calm and indifferent, as if she was indifferent to everything happening around her.
“The true core of the imaginary weapon…” Winter’s voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, ethereal and ethereal, “…is your trust in the contractor!”
As her voice fell, the picture suddenly froze.
In the picture, Lin Xiaobei’s heart was eroded by countless data streams, as if it was tightly entangled by countless tentacles, suffocating him.
Lin Xiaobei felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it was being torn apart.
He lowered his head and saw a faint light emanating from his chest. It was the power of the contract card protecting him.
“Lin Xiaobei, you must…” Lin Xiaoxia raised her head with difficulty, trying to say something with her last bit of strength.
However, her words were interrupted again by a creepy voice.
A chilling laugh echoed in the air, as if it came from a demon from hell.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly raised his head and saw Bai Zhouzi’s afterimage slowly floating towards him.
Her figure gradually became blurred, and finally turned into a card emitting a soft light.
It was a wedding contract card. The white wedding dress was dotted with tiny stars, as beautiful as a dream.
In the center of the card, there is a familiar portrait printed – Shirasu Azusa.
What is going on here? Is she going to play the “becoming my wife after death” trick on him?
Before he could react, the wedding contract card suddenly burst into a dazzling light, like a huge black hole, swallowing up everything around it.
“Remember…you owe me…graduation ceremony…”
Chapter 48: Final Blade: The Ultimate Choice of the Twin Contract (Old Version)
“In the name of Principal Heigang… start the Twin Contract Ending Procedure!” A card appeared out of thin air where Baizhou Zi’s afterimage disappeared. It was not an ordinary contract card, but a wedding dress contract card that shone with a dreamy light!
The white wedding dress seemed to be dotted with stars. In the center of the card, Shirasu Azusa’s smile was as gentle as ever, but with a hint of determination.
This sudden change made Lin Xiaobei stunned. What was going to happen?
Becoming a wife after death?
Such a big deal?
Before he could complain, the card burst into an intense light, and a huge suction force pulled him in.
At the same time, Lin Xiaobei felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it was being torn apart.
Looking down, he saw a golden light emanating from his chest. It was the power of the contract card protecting him.
A golden vortex slowly spun at his heart, like a miniature black hole, swallowing up everything around it.
“The Ultimate Purification Ritual of the Stupid Knight!” With a delicate cry, Katarina appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei. The holy sword in her hand flashed with dazzling light, like the dawn breaking through the darkness.
Without any hesitation, she stabbed the holy sword into the golden vortex core in Lin Xiaobei’s chest.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Lin Xiaobei did not feel the pain as he had imagined, but instead a strange warmth, as if something was being awakened.
Katarina’s holy sword and the golden vortex on his chest complemented each other, and the two forces blended with each other, forming a huge golden chain net in the void.
The chain network continued to expand, spreading throughout the entire space, even beyond the dimensional barrier, connecting to another world – the world of Star Dome Railway.
“I am the first experimental subject of the imaginary weapon!” A mechanical voice sounded in the void, and Winter’s mechanical body began to disintegrate and turned into countless fragments.
“Shit, no way, is this guy going to get stuck too?” Lin Xiaobei complained in his mind, the plot was getting more and more outrageous.
The fragments of the collapsed star core of Winter did not disappear, but projected a three-dimensional image, which was the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration!
It turns out that Winter has been lurking inside the Space-Time Administration. As the initial experimental subject of imaginary weapons, he possesses special abilities.
“Hehe, it seems everything is over.” Lin Dong’s voice contained a hint of relief and a hint of unwillingness.
The golden chain network continued to expand, covering the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration and began to purify the remaining imaginary energy in the world.
The two worlds are connected by this golden chain network, and their energies blend with each other, forming a wonderful resonance.
Lin Xiaobei felt a powerful force surging into his body. It was Catalina’s contract energy and also the energy from the Star Dome Railway world.
“Is this… a resonance between two worlds?” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed in his heart. This wave of operations was simply amazing!
Katarina’s contract awakening triggered the resonance of the two worlds, a force powerful enough to crush the conspiracy of the Space-Time Administration.
“Lin Xiaobei, it’s up to you from now on.” Catalina’s voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of tenderness and a hint of firmness.
Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath
He raised his head and stared firmly into the distance, which was the direction of the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration.
“Wait, I’ll be right there!”
Suddenly, Lin Xiaobei felt a burning sensation on his wrist…
Lin Xiaobei felt a burning sensation on his wrist, he looked down and was shocked!
On his left wrist, a circle of light was slowly spinning. It was made up of countless contract cards stacked together, emitting a dreamy color.
If you look closely, every card on the light wheel corresponds to a character he has contracted – Katarina, Shirasu Azusa, and even various two-dimensional cute girls he has conquered in previous copies!
“As a king-level contractor…purify the imaginary pollution!” Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath, and an unprecedented sense of power surged in his heart.
He felt as if he had become the incarnation of these characters, holding their power and carrying their will.
He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes burst into brilliant golden light, like two dazzling stars.
His voice exploded like thunder, resounding throughout the void, carrying with it an unquestionable majesty.
The next second, something even more outrageous happened.
Suddenly, countless blue lights emerged from the other end of the golden chain net, which is the world of the Starry Sky Railway.
These lights surged in like a tide, instantly submerging the entire headquarters of the Space-Time Administration.
“What…what the hell is this?” Lin Xiaobei was completely confused. The direction of the plot was completely beyond his expectations.
The blue light dissipated, and Lin Xiaobei rubbed his eyes, almost popping his eyes out.
The originally solemn and dignified headquarters of the Space-Time Administration has now turned into a large-scale role-playing scene!
Countless agents of the Space-Time Administration who were wearing blue uniforms, all changed into strange outfits at this moment.
Some of them became students in “Azure Files”, wearing sailor uniforms and carrying various weapons; some became ship girls in “Azur Lane”, carrying huge naval guns and wearing cute animal ears on their heads; some even became operators in “Arknights”, wearing masks, with sharp eyes and exuding a murderous aura.
What’s even more outrageous is that the quality of these role-playing products is so high that they look like officially licensed genuine peripherals.
Moreover, the eyes of these “student weapons” were full of determination and anger. They were obviously inspired by Lin Xiaobei’s identity as a king-level contractor and were ready to fight a decisive battle with the Space-Time Administration.
“Three thousand students’ weapons and armor are growing in reverse, charge!” Lin Xiaobei’s blood was boiling, this operation was simply amazing.
He felt like a band conductor, and these role-playing agents were his instruments. He would use their power to play a battle song to purify imaginary numbers!
An illusory figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei with a gentle smile.
That is Bai Zhouzi’s data body.
“Student Lin Xiaobei…thank you.” Bai Zhouzi’s voice was soft and ethereal, like a whisper in the ear.
“What are you thanking me for, Principal?” Lin Xiaobei scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
“True bond…does not require sacrifice!” Bai Zhouzi suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged Lin Xiaobei tightly.
At that moment, Lin Xiaobei felt as if he was surrounded by a warm force.
He could feel Shirasu Azusa’s gentleness, her firmness, and her determination to protect everything.
During the hug, Baizhou Azusa’s contract card suddenly burst into dazzling golden light.
The light was as hot as the sun, instantly illuminating the entire void.
“Fuck, Principal, what are you doing?” Lin Xiaobei was shocked by this sudden change.
Before he could react, Katarina appeared in front of him.
The holy sword in her hand flashed with dazzling light, like a sharp blade cutting through the darkness.
“Don’t be in a daze, idiot!” Catalina shouted.
Without any hesitation, she thrust the holy sword fiercely into the core of the data stream.
“The duty of the leader of the Knights Templar… is to protect the contractor until the very end!” Katarina’s voice was as solemn as an oath, with a sense of determination.
Lin Xiaobei could feel that Katarina’s contract energy was burning wildly, turning into a powerful force and injecting into the holy sword.
He knew that Catalina was using her own life to fight for the last glimmer of hope for victory for him.
“Katarina! Don’t!” Lin Xiaobei wanted to stop her, but found that he couldn’t move at all.
He could only watch as the holy sword pierced the core of the data stream and Katarina’s figure gradually became blurred.
Finally, the picture froze in the golden light of the exploding star core fragments.
The light was as brilliant as fireworks, but it carried a heartbreaking sadness.
The whole world seemed to have quieted down, leaving only endless void and a devastated battlefield.
Lin Xiaobei stood there quietly, feeling the power surging in his body and the warmth left by Katarina and Shirasu Azusa.
He knew that he could not let them down, and he had to continue fighting to protect this world and everything he cherished.
Suddenly, he felt something trembling slightly at his feet.
He lowered his head and saw a small, delicate mechanical finger suddenly emerged from the chaotic data stream…
Chapter 49 Data Embers: The Falsified Graduation Vow (Old Version)
“Experimental subject No. 37…needs to be restarted by the body temperature of the contractor!” In the chaos of the data flow, a slender mechanical finger twitched slightly, like a drowning man grasping the last straw, and pointed at Lin Xiaobei tremblingly.
That voice, an electronic synthesized sound mixed with the crackling sound of electric current, was actually Qian Ji!
Katarina’s holy sword, wrapped in holy light, pierced through the squirming shadow.
At that moment, a miracle happened – the wreckage of 300 students’ weapons, like a sleeping giant awakened, all opened their eyes in unison!
The azure light flickered in their empty eye sockets. It was a response from another world and a roar against fate!
Their broken mechas made a creaking sound, reassembled, and transformed, and finally turned into… all beautiful girls in sailor uniforms?!
This sudden change in style made Lin Xiaobei almost vomit blood.
Wait, this familiar shape… could it be the Azure Files? !
The taste of this winter consciousness is really… hard to describe.
These “Sailor Moons” wielded a variety of weapons, ranging from worn-out laser guns to rusty samurai swords, making it look like a large-scale COSPLAY scene.
They have only one goal – to protect their principal, Shirasu Azusa!
Bai Zhouzi’s afterimage, illusory and vague, but with an indescribable sadness, suddenly hugged Lin Xiaobei tightly.
Her body was icy cold, like a piece of ice that had not melted for thousands of years, yet it still had a trace of residual temperature that made Lin Xiaobei’s heart tremble.
“The consciousness of winter… is hidden in the oath at the graduation ceremony!” Her weak voice was almost inaudible, like fallen leaves drifting in the wind.
The wedding contract card slowly emerged from her chest, projecting a holographic image – it was the graduation ceremony of the Black Steel Academy, the students were wearing neat uniforms, with youthful smiles on their faces, and reading their graduation pledges.
However, when the oath was halfway through, the picture suddenly distorted and a completely different content appeared!
It was an oath full of coldness and murder, filled with absolute obedience to the Space-Time Administration, and fanaticism for “purifying” all heretics!
“Damn it! This is too insidious! Tampering with the graduation pledge, this is brainwashing from the root!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but swear.
This is even more outrageous than adding melamine to primary school students’ milk!
Suddenly, Katarina’s holy sword emitted a piercing alarm sound, and the blade trembled violently, as if trying to break free from her control.
“The resonance of the two worlds has exceeded the limit… The Holy Relic Contract is backfiring!” Catalina’s voice was filled with a hint of pain and disbelief.
The contract cards on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist turned upside down as if pulled by some mysterious force!
On the back of the card, there was a strange red light flashing, like the eyes of a devil, which was chilling.
Dual world linkage?
What kind of a setting is this?!
Is this world going to merge with the world of the Blue Files?
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
Qianji’s mechanical body also completely collapsed at this moment, revealing the translucent humanoid core inside, like a fragile baby.
“The final form of the student weapon… is to devour the memories of the contractor!” Her intermittent voice carried a hint of despair and madness.
Star core fragments gushed out of her body like a volcanic eruption, emitting dazzling light.
This light was not golden, but had a strange purple tint and was filled with a destructive aura.
“Wait, devouring memories? This isn’t going to turn me into…” Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank as an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He subconsciously looked at the wedding contract card in Baizhou Zi’s hand…the light on the card seemed to be even brighter.
“Perhaps… this is the real graduation ceremony…” Bai Zhouzi’s afterimage showed a bitter smile on his face, and slowly handed the wedding contract card to Lin Xiaobei…
Lin Xiaobei grabbed the wedding contract card. The touch was not rough like paper, but as smooth and delicate as baby skin, and even a little warm.
This feeling… is damn awesome!
He pressed the card against his chest without hesitation. The beating of his heart seemed to resonate with the energy on the card, and a warm current instantly spread throughout his body.
“As a king-level contractor… rewrite the oath program!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice resounded like thunder in the torrent of data.
An unprecedented force gushed out from his body, and golden energy ripples spread out in all directions with him as the center.
At this moment, the azure light on the wreckage of the three thousand students’ weapons instantly transformed into dazzling gold, like a lit torch!
The broken pieces of armor, like plants growing in reverse, grew and spread rapidly, eventually interweaving into golden chains that sealed off the entire space.
These chains were not made of cold metal, but emitted a warm glow, like protective vines, gently wrapping up the afterimage of Shirasu Azusa.
In the chaos of the data stream, the mechanical eye of winter slowly emerged, and its huge eyeball was like a cold star, watching everything.
Its electronic synthesized sound carries a hint of surprise that is hard to conceal, and even… a hint of fear?
“Thank you… for injecting purifying energy into the imaginary weapons…” Winter’s voice was intermittent, like an old machine that was about to be scrapped.
Cracks began to appear in its eyeballs, like broken glass, and finally… it froze at the moment when Catalina’s Holy Sword pierced Lin Xiaobei’s back.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Catalina’s holy sword flashed with holy light, and the tip of the sword was only an inch away from Lin Xiaobei’s back.
Her expression was frozen between shock and disbelief, as if she had seen something incredible.
Lin Xiaobei’s expression… was surprisingly calm.
No pain, no struggle, even… a strange smile?
He slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.
The wedding contract card has been completely integrated into his body, leaving only a faint mark, like a beautiful tattoo.
“Purifying energy? Haha… I’m not a purifier…” Lin Xiaobei murmured in a low voice. The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually widened, carrying a hint of evil charm and… madness.
“This… is the real… beginning of the game…” The afterimage of Bai Zhouzi looked at Lin Xiaobei with complicated eyes, which contained worry, expectation, and a hint of… relief.
Her figure gradually became transparent, and finally… disappeared into the golden chains.
There is a faint… floral scent in the air?
This fragrance does not come from the real world, but… from the wedding contract card?
“Katarina… your holy sword… seems to be… held upside down…” Lin Xiaobei’s voice was as gentle as a whisper between lovers, but with a hint of… a creepy chill.
Chapter 50 Mechanical Holy Sword: Thousand Thorns’ Final Lie (Old Version)
“Purifying energy? After all this time, we are actually providing warmth to the villains?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like a clown who was being played around by a fool and almost vomited blood.
The plot twists were more exciting than a roller coaster, and he felt like his brain couldn’t keep up with the pace at all.
However, before he could recover from this sudden truth, a sharp pain instantly swept through his whole body.
The sound of the sharp blade piercing flesh was particularly harsh in the silent air.
Lin Xiaobei slowly lowered his head in disbelief, only to see a sharp sword shining with holy light having pierced through his chest.
Bright red blood gushed out like a flood, staining his clothes and the familiar holy sword red.
“Katarina…you…” Lin Xiaobei raised his head with difficulty and used all his strength to barely squeeze out a few words.
his
The scene froze at the moment when the holy sword pierced Lin Xiaobei’s back. Blood dyed his clothes red, and also dyed Katarina’s holy sword red.
The air was filled with the nauseating smell of blood and metallic sweetness.
Lin Xiaobei’s consciousness began to blur, and he felt that his vitality was rapidly fading away, as if he was being peeled off from a cocoon.
He wanted to say something, but found his throat dry and couldn’t say anything.
And in this solidified air, Qianci’s mechanical arm suddenly began to mutate.
The original cold metallic texture was fading quickly, replaced by a jade-like luster and a heart-pounding edge…
“The student council president’s duty… is to protect the bonds of the contractors!”
With a clear and firm voice, Qianji’s originally cold mechanical arm was quickly reshaped into a holy sword emitting golden light like melted metal.
Without hesitation, she thrust the holy sword into her core!
“No! Classmate Qianji!” Lin Xiaobei wanted to stop it, but found that he could not move at all. He could only watch the golden holy sword pierce into Qianji’s body.
A deafening explosion sounded, and Qianci’s core exploded instantly, turning into countless data streams, splashing in all directions.
These data streams streak across the sky like meteors, illuminating the entire space with dazzling light.
“In the name of Principal Black Steel… start the twin purification procedure!”
At this moment, an illusory figure suddenly appeared beside Qianji.
That was the afterimage of Baizhou Azusa. She had a solemn expression on her face and was holding a card that emitted a soft glow in her hand.
This card was the wedding contract card, and she pressed the card into Qianci’s wound without hesitation.
In an instant, a powerful energy wave burst out from Qianji’s body.
The originally scattered data streams, as if pulled by some force, began to converge rapidly, forming a huge vortex.
At the same time, Baizhou Zi’s afterimage began to become fainter and fainter, as if it would disappear at any time.
Her voice became weaker and weaker, but her tone was still firm: “Qian Ji, I’m counting on you… You must stop the conspiracy of the Space-Time Administration!”
The contractual energy between the two people intertwined in the void, forming a huge chain net that enveloped the surrounding space.
This chain net emits a dazzling light, like a huge cage that wants to bind everything inside.
“The Holy Relic Contract is consuming the power of Black Steel!”
At this moment, Katarina’s holy sword suddenly let out a sharp whistle.
The howling sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which was creepy.
Lin Xiaobei could clearly feel that Katarina’s holy sword was greedily absorbing the surrounding energy, especially the power from Black Steel Academy.
The light of the holy sword grew brighter and brighter, like a sun about to explode.
What made Lin Xiaobei even more uneasy was that the contract card that appeared on his wrist also began to become restless.
These contract cards were originally sleeping quietly, but at this moment they seemed to be activated, starting to devour and fuse each other, releasing increasingly powerful energy fluctuations.
He could feel that the energies of the two worlds, Genshin Impact and Star Dome Railway, were producing some kind of wonderful resonance through these contract cards.
This resonance became stronger and stronger, as if two worlds were about to collide.
Lin Xiaobei felt as if he was in the center of a huge storm. Everything around him was spinning and twisting wildly. He was almost torn to pieces by this powerful force.
He wanted to stop it all, but found that he was powerless.
He could only watch everything around him develop in an unpredictable direction.
Suddenly, the chain net began to tremble violently, groaning as if it could not bear the heavy weight.
“Crack—Crack—”
Cracks spread across the chain web like spider webs.
These cracks are getting bigger and more dense, as if they will collapse at any time.
At the critical moment, Lin Xiaobei seemed to hear a voice, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
“Lin Xiaobei… help me…”
The sound was intermittent and so faint that it was almost inaudible, but it struck his soul like lightning.
He suddenly raised his head, trying to find the source of the sound, but found that everything around him became blurry.
He only saw a dazzling light flashing on the chain net that was about to break.
“Believe me, Lin Xiaobei…”
Qian Ji’s voice came from the void, and the next second, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
At the center of the explosion, the data stream was like a dancing silver snake, tearing through the space and emitting a teeth-grinding scream.
Lin Xiaobei felt like a sock thrown into a washing machine. The world was spinning around him, and his internal organs were about to be thrown out.
The choking smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of burnt metal made him retch a few times.
However, just when he thought he was going to be torn to pieces by the energy storm, a miracle happened.
Those violent data streams suddenly began to converge, rotate, and condense rapidly as if controlled by an invisible giant hand.
The light gradually dimmed, the smoke gradually dissipated, and a slender figure slowly appeared in front of Lin Xiaobei.
“What the hell! What’s the development? Qianji is cosplaying as Nuwa repairing the sky?” Lin Xiaobei’s eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped.
The originally mechanical Chitoge has turned into a girl with real flesh and blood.
Her soft silver hair falls like a waterfall, her delicate facial features are like carefully crafted works of art, and her fair skin is so delicate that it seems to be emitting a faint glow.
However, those originally cold mechanical eyes were now filled with complex emotions, sparkling with crystal light.
Data tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, like broken stars, drawing sad and beautiful arcs in the sky.
“I am subject No. 0…the carrier of Winter’s letter of repentance!” Qian Ji’s voice was no longer a cold electronic synthesized sound, but was full of human warmth, with a hint of trembling and a hint of sadness.
Lin Xiaobei felt his heart suddenly twitch, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.
He didn’t know what Chitoge had been through, but he could feel the pain and despair deep in her heart.
At this moment, Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest. He looked down and saw a bright red countdown appearing above his heart: 03:00.
“What the hell? Do you want me to defuse the bomb within a limited time?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain. However, before he could react, the contract card on his wrist suddenly began to vibrate wildly, emitting dazzling rays of light.
These lights intertwined together to form a huge arrow, pointing to the distance – the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration!
“The imaginary core is at the headquarters of the Administration!” A voice rang in Lin Xiaobei’s mind like a thunderclap. He raised his head suddenly.
“Good boy, you want me to go straight to the dragon’s lair! It seems like I have to do something big today!” Lin Xiaobei took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
At the same time, on the other side, Katarina’s holy sword had pierced the core of the data stream.
“The purification ritual of the stupid knight…is not over yet!” Katarina’s voice was full of determination and madness.
The light of the holy sword erupted like a volcano, swallowing up everything around it.
Lin Xiaobei only saw Bai Zhouzi’s afterimage, and a relieved smile appeared on his face at the moment he was swallowed by the fragments of the star core.
The dazzling light, the glaring fragments, and Catalina’s resolute eyes were all deeply imprinted in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and breathing became difficult.
“Katarina…” Lin Xiaobei spoke with difficulty, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper.
However, before he could finish, a powerful force suddenly pushed him away.
He staggered back a few steps, raised his head, and saw…
Chapter 51 Final Oath: The Seal of the Twin Contract (Old Version)
The exploding holy light exploded like a supernova, burning Lin Xiaobei so much that he couldn’t open his eyes.
Catalina’s roar echoed in my ears, but it seemed like it was buzzing through a thick layer of cotton.
When he barely got used to the bright light, the sight before him petrified him instantly.
Bai Zhouzi’s afterimage, which was originally flickering like a broken TV screen, is now extremely clear.
She did not disappear, but instead seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and floated towards Lin Xiaobei.
Wait, it’s ok for her to just float over, but she actually… hugged him? !
Lin Xiaobei was stunned. He felt like a straight man who had accidentally entered an otome game, his whole body stiff.
What made his pupils tremble even more was that the wedding contract card on Shirasu Azusa’s chest began to deform and rotate, and finally turned into an exquisite golden hourglass, ticking away the golden “time”.
“True bonds… are the key to leaving memories—” Baizhou Zi’s voice was so ethereal that it seemed to come from another dimension, brushing gently past Lin Xiaobei’s ears.
He subconsciously looked down at the golden hourglass and his heart skipped a beat.
A strange energy was gushing out from the hourglass, flowing along his arms and throughout his body.
At the same time, earth-shaking changes also took place on Catalina’s side.
The light of the holy sword shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption, reflecting the contract card in her hand, forming a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth.
“Use the bond of holy relics and black steel… to purify the imaginary pollution!” Katarina’s voice, with its desperate determination, made Lin Xiaobei’s eardrums hurt.
What astounded him even more was that the three thousand students of Black Steel Academy who were originally swallowed by the data stream were actually… collectively COSPLAYing?
No, it’s not COSPLAY. Their armor seemed to be turned back in time and grew in the reverse direction, turning into a barrier shining with golden light, protecting Katarina!
This is comparable to the special effects at the scene of Ultraman’s transformation, which almost blinded his titanium dog eyes.
“What the hell is this? Are they all cheating?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but swear.
He felt like he had accidentally entered the climax of a passionate anime, and the only word he could express his feelings at the moment was “Oh shit”.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his wrist, bringing him back to reality from his shock.
“The Time Sand Corridor of the Space-Time Administration Bureau… is being activated!” Lin Xiaoxia’s voice trembled slightly.
Her originally energetic face suddenly showed some strange mechanical patterns, like some sophisticated circuit board.
Wait, what’s going on? Lin Xiaoxia looks like…
“You… who are you?!” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of him in disbelief.
Lin Xiaoxia did not answer. She just held Lin Xiaobei’s hand tightly, with a complicated look in her eyes, as if she was having a fierce inner struggle.
At this moment, a dazzling light descended from the sky, enveloping the two of them…
“Wait! This light… is…” Before Lin Xiaobei could finish his words, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.
The aftermath of the explosion had not yet subsided, and Lin Xiaobei’s head was buzzing, as if he had swallowed ten thousand bees.
The scene before him made him feel like his worldview had been shattered into pieces.
The afterimage of Bai Zhouzi, those eyes that were originally gentle as water, now were like a poisoned blade, cold and sharp.
She stretched out her seemingly soft and boneless hands, and with lightning speed, she stabbed…Lin Xiaoxia’s heart!
The blood, like a blooming blood-red rose, stung Lin Xiaobei’s eyes.
He felt like he was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.
“Xiao Xia! What…what are you doing?!” Lin Xiaobei roared and wanted to rush over, but found that his body seemed to be immobilized and he could not move.
Lin Xiaoxia’s body, like a kite with a broken string, fell backwards helplessly.
There was still a vibrant smile on her face, but it looked extremely sad at the moment.
“Subject No. 37…” The afterimage of Shirasu Azusa made a cold voice as if it was synthesized by a machine, “The host… is the container of the Key of Time and Sand!”
“Container? What container? What are you talking about?!” Lin Xiaobei roared, trying to break free, but found that everything was in vain.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxia’s body suddenly burst into dazzling light.
The piece of flesh that was pierced in her chest actually began to wriggle, deform, and finally… explode!
The explosion was deafening and countless tiny fragments flew everywhere.
These fragments are not flesh and blood, but… star core fragments!
The fragments of the star core condensed in the air and actually formed a three-dimensional image – it was a huge building complex full of technology, with countless people in uniforms busy shuttling around in it.
“Shit, is this… the headquarters of the Space-Time Administration?!” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes, feeling that his brain was no longer enough.
Just as Lin Xiaobei was shocked, earth-shaking changes also took place on Catalina’s side.
The holy sword, which was originally extremely holy, now burst into dazzling light like a burning flame.
On the sword, the ancient runes seemed to come alive, flashing wildly.
“The graduation ceremony pledge takes effect… In the name of bond—”
Catalina’s voice, like an ancient spell, carries a sacred and inviolable power.
The holy sword in her hand suddenly pointed to the sky, and a golden light pierced the sky like a sharp sword.
Immediately afterwards, countless golden chains stretched out from the void like pythons, tightly wrapping around the three-dimensional image composed of the star core fragments – the coordinates of the Space Time Administration!
“This…what is going on? Is Katarina going to go berserk too?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like he was watching an epic fantasy blockbuster, with explosive special effects and plot twists that were simply overwhelming.
However, before Lin Xiaobei could recover, an even more bizarre force erupted in his body.
His heart suddenly began to beat violently.
A golden energy surged out from his heart like a volcanic eruption and instantly flowed throughout his body.
He felt that his heart seemed to have turned into a huge whirlpool, madly devouring all the energy around it.
“The true form of the Imaginary Core… is the container of Tokisaga!”
These words suddenly popped up in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
He subconsciously looked down at his chest, only to find that a golden hourglass mark had appeared at his heart.
The golden sand in the hourglass flows slowly, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
At this moment, the system interface on his wrist suddenly began to vibrate violently.
A huge golden hourglass pattern suddenly appeared on the originally calm interface.
The hourglass pattern slowly rotated, and finally… it was imprinted on the system interface!
The picture is frozen at this moment.
Everything around seemed to be still.
Suddenly, a majestic voice exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind like thunder:
“Welcome to the Tokisaga Corridor…Contractor.”
Chapter 52: Collapse Resonance: The Vitality Valkyrie in the Chains of Time and Sand (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei felt his head buzzing, and the majestic voice made his scalp numb. It was just like a GM from a game suddenly appearing, with an echo effect.
“Tokisaga Corridor…Contractor?” He couldn’t help but complain in his heart. What era is this? Why is there still such a cliché opening line?
Before he could finish his complaints, the system interface on his wrist began flashing wildly like an overloaded CPU.
The golden hourglass pattern seemed to come alive, spinning wildly as if it was trying to break free and rush out of the screen.
At the same time, an indescribable energy wave burst out from Kiana. It felt like a calm lake suddenly being hit by huge waves, catching people off guard.
“Honkai energy… resonance?” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes. He could clearly feel that the golden hourglass on the system interface was forming some mysterious connection with the Honkai energy emanating from Kiana.
It felt like two pieces of a puzzle finally found their place in each other and fit together perfectly.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the familiar voice of the system sounded again, but this time, there was a hint of mechanical indifference in the tone: “Contractor… detected an unknown energy source… Honkai energy… recommended to use Honkai energy… to crack the 0th layer chain…”
Lin Xiaobei almost vomited blood.
This system fails at the critical moment!
He hasn’t even figured out what Honkai energy is, and you want him to use it to crack the lock chain?
Isn’t this just forcing someone to do something?
However, the development of events was completely beyond his expectations.
At the moment when the system prompt sounded, a powerful suction force suddenly came from the system interface, like a black hole, swallowing up everything around it.
Kiana was the first to be hit. The Honkai energy in her body rushed into the system interface on her wrist like a flood that broke through a dam.
The golden hourglass pattern suddenly became dazzling, like a little sun, emitting dazzling light.
“Ah!” Kiana groaned in pain and her body trembled violently, as if she was suffering from some unbearable torture.
Lin Xiaobei’s heart instantly rose to his throat.
He knew that this was definitely not a good thing!
Does this system want to squeeze Kiana dry?
Just when he was extremely anxious, a shadow suddenly flashed by, and Bai Zhouzi’s familiar figure appeared in front of him.
But this time, her expression was unusually serious.
“Lin Xiaobei, believe me!” Bai Zhouzi’s voice was extremely firm, and the wedding contract card in her hand emitted a faint light.
“The memories of the twin contractors… are the key to Tokisaga!”
As she spoke, she inserted the wedding contract card into the tiny crack that appeared on the golden hourglass without hesitation.
At that moment, the entire space seemed to stand still.
Time seems to freeze at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, an even more powerful energy wave erupted, and the entire Time Sand Corridor began to vibrate violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
Lin Xiaobei felt like his body was about to be torn apart.
He could clearly feel that some earth-shaking changes were taking place in the system.
That feeling is like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, like a phoenix being reborn from the ashes. It is full of pain but also full of hope.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst out from the holy sword in Katarina’s hand.
The golden light flowed slowly along the patterns on the holy sword like liquid, and finally… it reorganized into a set of exquisite Valkyrie armor on the holy sword!
The armor has smooth lines and gorgeous shape, and is full of a sense of technology and power.
It seemed to be integrated with the holy sword, emitting a sacred and powerful aura.
Lin Xiaobei stared at everything in front of him in amazement. He felt that his three views were about to be overturned.
This system is too good to be played, isn’t it?
They can actually do such a cool thing!
“This is… a form of Honkai energy that I have never seen before!”
A clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from the data stream.
That voice, full of surprise and curiosity, was Kiana’s voice!
Then, a petite figure appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone.
Kiana’s face was full of excitement and excitement, and her eyes were flashing with a strange light.
“This power… is so amazing!” Kiana waved her fists excitedly, and a powerful energy wave emanated from her.
Without hesitation, she threw a punch at the quantum barrier in front of her.
With a loud bang, the indestructible quantum barrier shattered in an instant like glass!
Lin Xiaobei was completely dumbfounded.
This… is this still the Kiana he knows?
This combat power is simply off the charts!
However, before he could recover from his shock, he found that Lin Xiaoxia, who was standing next to him, was frozen in place as if under a spell.
Her expression was extremely painful.
“Xiao Xia?” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but shout, trying to wake her up.
However, Lin Xiaoxia did not react at all, as if she did not hear his voice at all.
Just when Lin Xiaobei was feeling confused, he suddenly noticed that Lin Xiaoxia’s body was trembling slightly, and there was a complex light flashing in her eyes.
A feeling of uneasiness surged into Lin Xiaobei’s heart.
He vaguely felt that things were not that simple.
Lin Xiaoxia’s reaction didn’t seem as simple as being frightened.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: “Target locked… Begin the elimination procedure…”
Lin Xiaobei’s heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
He knew that Lin Xiaoxia’s identity was definitely not simple!
She must be hiding some secret!
At this moment, Bronya’s mechanical prosthesis suddenly unfolded, and a blue light shot out from it, beginning to scan everything around it…
The cold metallic luster of Bronya’s mechanical prosthesis flashed like the scythe of the god of death in the dim light of the Tokisa Corridor.
As her fingertips rapidly tapped on the keyboard, the precision instruments inside the prosthesis emitted a teeth-grinding buzzing sound, and streams of blue data poured out like waterfalls, frantically scanning everything around them.
“Scan completed.” Bronya’s voice was still calm, but Lin Xiaobei could hear a hint of urgency. “The underlying structure of the Tokisaga Corridor… is the quantum cage of the Administration!”
Almost at the same time, Katarina also moved.
The holy sword in her hand emitted a dazzling golden light. The sword body, which was already extremely gorgeous, now seemed to be burning with flames, emitting a light that made people dare not look directly at it.
She let out a delicate cry, and her figure flashed like a ghost, and the holy sword in her hand pierced the core of Honkai energy without hesitation.
“Don’t even think about succeeding!” Katarina shouted, and an unparalleled energy wave burst out from the holy sword, like a volcanic eruption, and slammed into the Honkai energy core.
With a deafening roar, the entire Tokisa Corridor seemed to be torn apart.
The violent energy splashed everywhere, shattering the surrounding walls.
Lin Xiaobei only felt his eardrums buzzing, his vision blurred, and he almost couldn’t stand steadily.
However, just as Katarina and Bronya joined forces to attack, Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt a palpitation.
He subconsciously looked at his wrist and saw a bright red countdown jumping wildly on the system interface.
“03:00…”
“02:59…”
“02:58…”
Every beat of the numbers was like the footsteps of death, beating at his heart.
Lin Xiaobei felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his forehead.
“The higher-ups of the Administration… are observing the intensity of the resonance!” Lin Xiaobei clenched his teeth. He could feel as if he was in a huge chess game, and he was just an insignificant chess piece, at the mercy of others.
However, just when he felt desperate, the system suddenly made an unexpected move.
“Buzz!”
With a slight buzzing sound, a golden light shone brightly on the system interface. Countless data streams poured out like a tide and quickly condensed into a familiar figure in front of Lin Xiaobei.
“Kiana Kaslana, Honkai Armor… loading…”
The mechanical voice of the system rang in Lin Xiaobei’s ears, and then a dazzling golden light descended from the sky, completely covering Kiana’s figure.
When the golden light faded, a brand new Kiana appeared in front of everyone.
She was wearing a set of silver-white armor with smooth lines and gorgeous shape, full of a sense of technology and power.
Behind the armor, a pair of huge wings slowly spread out, emitting dazzling light.
“This… is this Kiana’s complete form?” Lin Xiaobei stared at Kiana in front of him in amazement. He felt that his worldview was about to be overturned.
This system is simply a surprise maker!
However, just when Lin Xiaobei was still immersed in shock, something strange happened again.
The golden hourglass that was spinning wildly suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, countless golden sand grains began to flow out of the hourglass in the opposite direction as if pulled by some mysterious force.
“This is…” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes. He could feel that a powerful energy was rapidly gathering, as if some terrifying existence was about to descend.
“Welcome to Level 0.”
A deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded in the Tokisa Corridor.
That voice was full of majesty and oppression, making people feel chilled.
“Otto Apokalis, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
As the voice fell, a figure slowly emerged from the void.
He was wearing a gorgeous white robe, had long silver hair, and had a handsome and cold face.
“Otto Apokalis?!” Lin Xiaobei took a breath of cold air. He was very familiar with this name.
This is one of the most famous villains in the Honkai series!
“Kiana…” Bronya turned her head and looked at Kiana beside her.
“Bronya…” Kiana also looked at Bronya, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
There are doubts, confusions, worries, and also… a hint of barely perceptible excitement.
The picture is frozen at this point.
However, just as everyone held their breath, waiting for what would happen next, Kiana suddenly made an unexpected move.
She turned around suddenly and rushed towards Lin Xiaobei.
“careful!”
Kiana’s petite body slammed into Lin Xiaobei like a cannonball.
Lin Xiaobei only felt a huge force coming at him, and he lost his balance and fell backwards uncontrollably.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground, a warm and powerful energy enveloped him.
He raised his head and saw that the Valkyrie armor on Kiana was emitting dazzling golden light. Countless Honkai energy flowed like water, forming an indestructible protective shield around the two of them.
Lin Xiaobei’s mind went blank. He had no idea what Kiana was trying to do.
Just when he was about to ask, he suddenly felt a terrifying aura approaching rapidly.
He looked up subconsciously, and saw…
Asking for flowers, collections, and rewards
Chapter 53 Please collect, please give flowers, please give rewards, thank you guys, I wish you all a happy day System Linmen (old version)
“What the hell?!”
This was the only thought in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding dump truck, and all his internal organs had been displaced.
soft!
This was the last thing he felt before he lost consciousness.
The next second, he and Kiana both fell to the ground.
The expected pain did not come, but was replaced by a kind of… indescribable warmth?
The Valkyrie armor on Kiana’s body is like a fully powered hot pack at this moment, emitting soft yet powerful energy.
The golden Houkai energy surged like liquid, forming an absolute defense field around the two people.
“What…what’s going on? The script is wrong!” Lin Xiaobei complained in his heart.
According to the general routine, shouldn’t he be the hero who saves the beauty and then start a romantic encounter?
How did it become a girl who pounced on him?
Before he could figure it out, Kiana suddenly raised her head and stared at him with her big watery eyes.
That look seemed to see through him completely.
“The contractor’s…body temperature…” Kiana’s voice was trembling a little, with a barely perceptible…charm?
“Activating my core memory!”
As she spoke, she actually stretched out her slender fingers and touched Lin Xiaobei’s chest with trembling hands.
Lin Xiaobei instantly felt as if he had been electrocuted and his whole body was numb.
He could clearly feel the warmth from Kiana’s fingertips, as well as the familiar energy fluctuations belonging to Honkai energy.
“No way? Could this be the legendary…skin-to-skin contact that activates the hidden plot?!” Lin Xiaobei felt his blood boiling and his adrenaline soaring.
Kiana’s finger finally stopped on the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s chest.
In an instant, the golden light became brighter!
The Honkai energy seemed to have found an outlet and it rushed into the contract card frantically, then flowed out of the contract card and into Lin Xiaobei’s body.
Lin Xiaobei only felt a powerful force rushing through his body, as if it was going to burst his meridians.
“Ah——!” He couldn’t help but let out a low roar. He felt as if he was in a huge furnace, burning in flames.
At the same time, Kiana’s Valkyrie Armor began to change.
The originally smooth armor surface began to show fine cracks, and streams of data seeped out from the cracks, sliding down like beads of sweat and dripping onto Lin Xiaobei’s neck, bringing a slightly cool touch.
Where the two men were locked in their arms, the golden Honkai energy and the data stream intertwined, forming a strange and enchanting picture.
This is simply… the ultimate temptation!
However, just when this erotic scene was about to reach its climax, something strange happened!
“Subject No. 37’s order… the Time Sand Key must be retrieved!”
A cold and mechanical voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere.
Lin Xiaobei only felt a flash before his eyes, and Lin Xiaoxia, who was originally standing aside, appeared behind Kiana like a ghost.
Her originally vibrant face was now covered with strange mechanical lines, and blue lights flickered in her eyes, like a sophisticated instrument.
“Xiao Xia?!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed, totally unable to believe his eyes.
Is this still the sunny and cheerful girl?
Lin Xiaoxia stretched out her hands without hesitation and grabbed Kiana’s neck!
“Cough… cough…” Kiana’s face suddenly turned red and she had difficulty breathing.
Lin Xiaobei wanted to stop it, but found himself suppressed by the powerful Honkai energy and unable to move at all.
“The Administration’s…mark?!” Bronya’s voice was filled with shock.
She stared at Lin Xiaoxia’s eyes, as if she wanted to see through everything about her.
“The real function of the quantum lock… is to absorb the Houkai energy and resonate with the contract!” Bronya took a deep breath, with a hint of determination in her tone.
“Katarina, give me your holy sword!”
Although Katarina looked confused, she subconsciously handed the holy sword in her hand to Bronya.
Bronya took the holy sword and inserted it into Lin Xiaobei’s wrist without hesitation!
“Fuck! Bronya, what are you doing?! Do you want to kill the master?!” Lin Xiaobei screamed and felt that his wrist was about to be pierced.
However, the next second, he understood Bronya’s intention.
Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out from the hilt of the holy sword and connected with the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist.
In an instant, Lin Xiaobei felt the power in his body surge!
The originally violent Honkai energy, under the guidance of the holy sword, actually began to become docile and merged with the contract energy in his body.
Golden lines began to appear on the surface of his body, which was a sign of the fusion of Honkai energy and contract energy.
At the same time, the contract card on his wrist began to emit a brighter light, like a rising star.
The system’s prompt sound also rang wildly in his mind:
“Ding! Honkai energy intrusion detected, the system is being optimized and upgraded!”
“Ding! Fusion degree of Honkai energy and contract energy +1%…+5%…+10%…”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully activated the hidden attribute: Collapse Resistance!”
Lin Xiaobei felt as if he had undergone a complete transformation, and his whole body was filled with strength.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light shot out from his eyes, as if to pierce through the entire quantum cage.
He grabbed Kiana’s hand, trying to rescue her from Lin Xiaoxia.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch Kiana, something strange happened again!
Kiana suddenly raised her head, her eyes turned blood red, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
“Lin Xiaobei…” she said in a hoarse voice, as if she had become a different person.
Then, she made a move that no one expected.
She bit her lip violently…
Bright red blood flowed down the corners of her mouth…
She actually wiped the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist with her bloody finger!
“The Valkyrie’s Oath… In the name of bonds!” Kiana’s voice was hoarse and low, like the whispers from hell.
The bright red blood bloomed on her pale lips, like a blooming red spider lily, enchanting and strange.
That drop of blood carrying her life essence fell on the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist, like a spark falling into a gasoline barrel, instantly causing a violent explosion!
The golden Honkai energy, which was originally violent and agitated, now seemed to have found a home and rushed into the contract card frantically.
At the same time, the holy light emitted by the holy sword was also intertwined with the Honkai energy, forming golden chains, like dancing dragons, wreaking havoc in the quantum cage.
These chains, with destructive force, penetrated Lin Xiaoxia’s mechanical body.
Lin Xiaoxia groaned in pain, and the blue light in her eyes flickered, as if it would go out at any time.
The mechanical patterns on her body also began to show cracks, like broken porcelain, which was shocking to the eye.
Lin Xiaobei’s eyes were red with anger, and he wanted to stop it all, but he found that he was still trapped in that powerful force and could not move.
He could only watch Lin Xiaoxia being swallowed by the golden chains, his heart filled with powerlessness and despair.
At this moment, an illusory figure suddenly appeared in the quantum cage.
It was a woman in a white wedding dress. She was stunningly beautiful and her temperament was noble and elegant. She was like a fairy in the sky, untainted by the mundane world.
“Bai Zhouzi?!” Lin Xiaobei recognized this woman. She was the wedding dress Valkyrie he met in the copy before.
The appearance of Bai Zhouzi made the entire quantum cage quiet.
She slowly raised her hand, and a glowing contract card appeared in her hand.
There was a man’s head printed on the card.
“The true identity of the senior management of the Administration… is a container of Honkai energy!” Baizhou Zi’s voice was ethereal and distant, as if it came from another time and space.
As soon as the words fell, the wedding contract card suddenly projected a holographic image.
He was a man with long golden hair and a handsome face.
He was wearing a gorgeous black dress, his eyes were deep and cold, and he exuded a suffocating aura.
“Otto?!” Lin Xiaobei recognized the man at a glance. He was the Bishop of Destiny in the world of Honkai Impact 3, Otto Apokalis!
This discovery shocked Lin Xiaobei so much that he was speechless.
He could never have imagined that a senior executive of the Space-Time Administration would actually be a container of Honkai energy, and that it was Otto Apokalis!
This is simply incredible!
Just as Lin Xiaobei was shocked, the ground of the Shisha Corridor suddenly changed.
The originally hard ground began to melt and turned into streams of data that poured down like waterfalls.
“The first level code is… the contractor’s memory of first kiss!” A mechanical voice echoed in the quantum cage.
At the same time, a picture suddenly appeared in the air.
It was a frozen moment, Kiana was getting close to Lin Xiaobei, and their lips were almost touching.
There was a hint of shyness and anticipation on Kiana’s face, while Lin Xiaobei’s face was filled with confusion and helplessness.
“Fuck! This…this is too exciting!” Lin Xiaobei felt like his heart was about to jump out.
Could this be the legendary… first kiss memory? !
However, at this critical moment, the picture suddenly disappeared.
The floor of the Tokisaga Corridor was also restored to its original state.
In the quantum cage, only Lin Xiaobei, Lin Xiaoxia who was imprisoned in chains, and Kiana who was unconscious were left.
“Hey! Don’t… don’t do this! Where’s my memory of my first kiss?! I haven’t finished watching it yet!” Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but shout. He felt like a wonderful movie was forcibly interrupted, and his heart was filled with resentment and frustration.
At this moment, a cold mechanical eye suddenly emerged from the sand of time… “I found you, heir.”
Please collect, please give flowers, please give rewards, thank you guys, I wish you all happy every day, the system is coming
Chapter 54: Time Sand Core: Confessions from the Management Bureau’s Senior Management Staff (Old Version)
Lin Xiaobei felt as if fate had grabbed him by the throat and he couldn’t even shout.
“Welcome to the core of the Authority…”
The cold voice was like a judgment from hell. Lin Xiaobei raised his head with great effort. A huge mechanical eye emerged from the sand of time, staring at him intently, as if it wanted to see through his soul.
This… is this Lu Li’s boss? !
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, the owner of the mechanical eye had already appeared, and a tall figure appeared in front of everyone.
He was wearing a black uniform, with half of his face covered in metal that gleamed with a cold luster.
The most eye-catching thing is a fist-sized red crystal on his chest, emitting disturbing energy fluctuations.
“Kiana’s first generation template!” Lu Li’s boss’ voice was emotionless, like a cold machine.
The Honkai energy core on his chest suddenly burst out with intense energy, like a volcanic eruption.
Lin Xiaobei only felt a powerful force surging, pressing him so hard that he couldn’t breathe.
At the same time, Kiana, who was originally unconscious, suddenly trembled, and her body began to emit a faint golden light, which was… Honkai energy!
“What the hell! What’s going on?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain was not enough. The plot was developing too fast!
Could this be the legendary… automatic summoning of Honkai?
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, Bronya suddenly jumped up, with a crazy light flashing in her eyes. The originally delicate mechanical prosthesis turned into a sharp blade and stabbed into the back of her neck fiercely!
“Bronya! What are you doing?!” Lin Xiaobei exclaimed, totally confused as to why she was hurting herself.
Bronya’s body trembled, and her voice became hoarse: “The truth about the Tokisaga Corridor… is a symbiotic experiment between Houkai energy and the contractors!”
What?! Symbiosis experiment?!
Before Lin Xiaobei had time to think about it, Bronya had already completed her action.
She pulled out her mechanical prosthesis, blood splattered, but a smile of relief appeared on her face.
Then, she thrust Catalina’s holy sword fiercely into Lin Xiaobei’s heart!
“Oh my god! Are you serious?!” Lin Xiaobei was so scared that he wanted to dodge, but his body seemed to be fixed and he couldn’t move.
At the critical moment, Catalina suddenly broke free from the chains and stood in front of Lin Xiaobei.
“Lin Xiaobei, don’t move!” Catalina’s voice was trembling slightly, but extremely firm.
The holy sword pierced Lin Xiaobei’s chest accurately, but did not cause fatal damage.
Because, at the last moment, Katarina moved the tip of the sword away from the heart.
However, this is not the end!
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
A series of mechanical sounds rang out, and Kiana suddenly tore off her armor, revealing… a mechanical heart!
The heart gleamed with a metallic luster, which was out of tune with her originally lively and lovely image, and looked weird and scary.
“The order for Subject No. 0… is to become the container of the contractor!” Kiana’s voice became mechanical and cold, like an emotionless robot.
Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
He felt like he was caught up in a huge conspiracy, and he was just a poor pawn.
The mechanical heart in Kiana’s chest began to beat faster, and a powerful energy wave spread out in all directions with her as the center.
Lin Xiaobei felt his consciousness blurry. He saw that the golden Honkai energy emanating from Kiana actually began to merge with his system interface!
The system interface flickered wildly, and the original text and patterns became distorted and blurred, replaced by countless complex golden runes. That was… the pattern of Honkai energy!
“What the hell! What the hell is this?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain was about to explode. He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.
The fusion of the system and Honkai energy was like two completely different forces, colliding wildly in Lin Xiaobei’s body and tearing his soul apart.
He felt as if he was being torn into pieces and was in extreme pain.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
“Ding! System integration degree 1%…2%…3%…”
“Ding! Unknown energy intrusion detected, the system is evolving into its ultimate form…”
“Ding! Fusion successful! Congratulations to the host for gaining resistance to Honkai energy and unlocking new skills…”
Lin Xiaobei felt as if he had experienced nirvana. After the pain, he was filled with an unprecedented sense of power.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a faint golden light flickered in his pupils.
“Is this… the power after the fusion of the system and the Honkai energy?” Lin Xiaobei murmured to himself. He felt as if he had been reborn and became even more powerful.
“Successor, your power… interests me.” Lu Li’s boss’ voice sounded again, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
Lin Xiaobei raised his head and looked at Lu Li’s boss.
“Really? Then I’m afraid you will be disappointed.” Lin Xiaobei said coldly.
Lu Li’s boss raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a weird smile.
“Really? I want to see how far you can go.”
Suddenly, Lu Li’s boss’s mechanical body began to deform…
The mechanical body of Lu Li’s boss made a teeth-grinding metallic friction sound, and it was like the bones of a giant beast stretching and deforming in an instant!
Sharp metal brackets burst out from his body, crisscrossing and forming a huge star-shaped cage around him, flashing a cold metallic luster, trapping Lin Xiaobei and his group inside.
The cage was like a giant metal spider, threatening them with its fangs and claws.
“The Authority’s ultimate weapon… is the Time Sand Resonance!” His mechanical voice echoed in the cage, with a hint of cold complacency, as if declaring their fate.
At the same time, the red crystal on his chest – the Honkai energy core, suddenly shone brightly and projected a huge holographic image.
A blond, blue-eyed man in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of everyone, with a wicked smile on his face, “Long time no see, Kiana…” Lin Xiaobei recognized the voice and the look in his eyes instantly. Isn’t this Bishop Otto? !
The plot is getting more and more outrageous!
Lin Xiaobei felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. This Administration was actually colluding with Bishop Otto? !
This melon is too big!
He subconsciously touched his wrist, where the original system interface had disappeared, replaced by a golden vortex, like a miniature black hole, emitting a powerful suction force.
In this vortex, cards were slowly spinning, flashing dazzling light. Those were all the contract cards he had collected along the way!
“As a king-level contractor… start the twin purification!” Lin Xiaobei’s voice trembled a little, but was extremely firm.
He knew that now was not the time to be afraid, he had to fight!
For myself, for my friends, and for this world eroded by Honkai energy!
As he finished his words, the golden vortex suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire cage.
Those cards seemed to come alive, flying and circling, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
The power of the Collapse Energy and the Holy Contract intertwined to form golden chains, which were wrapped around the star-shaped cage like a giant python, making a “sizzling” sound of electricity.
At this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared in the cage, so fast that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.
Baizhou Azusa!
In her hand she held a dagger that was flashing with a faint blue light, and her eyes were as cold as the god of death from hell.
Without any hesitation, she rushed directly towards Lu Li’s boss and stabbed the dagger in her hand fiercely into his chest – to be precise, into the Honkai energy core!
“The true form of the Tokisaga Key… is the memory fragment of the contractor!” Baizhou Zi’s voice was cold and calm, as if telling a predestined ending.
As her dagger pierced in, the Honkai energy core suddenly burst into an intense light, illuminating the entire cage like daylight.
The scene froze at the moment when Lu Li’s boss aimed the mechanical eye at the protagonist, and time seemed to stand still.
Lin Xiaobei could clearly see the shocked expression on Lu Li’s boss’s face. He seemed unable to believe it.
“No… this is impossible…” Lu Li’s boss’s voice trembled. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by a powerful force.
Asking for flowers, asking for collections, and wishing everyone good luck in their systems and the God of Wealth!
Chapter 55: Collapse Resonance: The First Key to the Sand Corridor (Old Version)
“No… this is impossible…” Lu Li’s boss’ face, which was a combination of machinery and flesh, was frozen in shock like a low-quality 3D printed model.
The red light in his mechanical eyes flickered, like the last struggle before a machine crashes, and the words that came out of his mouth were intermittent, like an old cassette tape.
He couldn’t believe that his carefully planned plan would be ruined at the last moment by… a greenhorn!
Suddenly, his mechanical eye, which was flashing scarlet light, suddenly emitted a dazzling light and hit Kiana!
The light faded, and the image of Kiana’s childhood suddenly appeared in the air. A little girl with twin ponytails was innocently chasing butterflies.
“The first owner of the Key of the Sands of Time… was Kiana Rosta!” The mechanical electronic voice announced this fact coldly and mercilessly.
Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain was about to burn out. This amount of information was too much for him to digest.
The Key of the Sands of Time, the first holder, Kiana…these keywords were spinning wildly in his mind like an out-of-control blender.
At the same time, a familiar golden energy burst out from the system interface on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist like a volcanic eruption, forming a dazzling golden halo around him.
This feeling is like… using a cheat!
This wave of operations is simply amazing!
Kiana’s body trembled violently, and the armor on her body shattered bit by bit, revealing the beating…mechanical heart in her chest? !
“The order for Subject No. 0… is to become the container of the contractor!” Kiana’s voice became cold and mechanical, as if she was a puppet being controlled by someone.
She suddenly reached out, grabbed Lin Xiaobei by the collar, and pressed him hard against the wall.
A powerful Honkai energy surged out from Kiana’s palm and was forced into the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s chest.
Lin Xiaobei felt as if his body was being torn apart, and the severe pain made him groan.
“Hey, hey, hey, what’s going on? I’m not a container!” Lin Xiaobei was complaining wildly in his heart. This plot development was too exciting!
He felt like he had fallen into a huge whirlpool, completely out of control.
“Beep beep–” Bronya’s mechanical prosthesis suddenly issued a shrill alarm, and a series of complex codes appeared on the screen, which was dazzling.
“Bronya, what’s going on?” Lin Xiaobei asked while enduring the pain.
Bronya’s face was solemn. She stared at the data on the screen and said hurriedly: “The system… and Honkai energy… have merged! The ultimate form is being generated!”
The ultimate form?!
The plot twists are so fast, it’s even more exciting than riding a roller coaster!
At this moment, a white afterimage flashed by, so fast that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.
Bai Zhouzi, she appears again!
The dagger in her hand flashed with a faint blue light, like the scythe of the god of death, and pierced fiercely into the core of the quantum lock!
“The true identity of the senior management of the Administration… is Kiana’s clone!” Baizhou Zi’s voice was cold and calm, as if telling a fact that had already been determined.
boom–
The core of the quantum lock burst out with dazzling light, like a supernova explosion, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.
Golden sand particles flowed out of the hourglass in reverse, as if time was flowing backwards, forming a huge vortex in the air.
A familiar figure slowly appeared in the vortex.
Long golden hair, elegant manners, and a playful smile on that handsome face.
Otto!
“Thank you for injecting Honkai energy into me–” Otto’s mechanical arm unfolded, like a star-shaped cage, and slowly closed… Otto’s mechanical arm, flashing with a cold metallic luster, slowly unfolded like a steel python, forming a huge star-shaped cage, trapping Lin Xiaobei and others inside.
“Thank you for injecting Honkai energy into me—” His low voice, with a hint of teasing, echoed in the Tokisaga Corridor, like the whisper of a devil, making people shudder.
This old fox really has no good intentions!
Lin Xiaobei cursed in his heart, this plot development is even more ridiculous than a soap opera!
The broken pieces of armor on Kiana’s body, as if pulled by some mysterious force, floated up strangely, reassembled, and quickly turned towards Lin Xiaobei!
Her originally clear blue pupils were now flashing with a cold red light, like a brand, which was the logo of the Spacetime Administration!
“Fuck! Kiana, what…what are you doing?!” Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
This girl was fine just now, why did she suddenly betray me?
The speed of changing faces is faster than turning pages of a book!
Kiana did not answer. She mechanically raised her arm, and her sharp fingertips pointed directly at Lin Xiaobei’s heart. A powerful Honkai energy gathered at her fingertips, forming a dazzling energy ball, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lin Xiaobei felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Is this girl serious?!
At the critical moment, Bronya’s figure flashed by like lightning. The holy sword of Catalina in her hand flashed with holy light and forcibly connected with the contract card on Lin Xiaobei’s chest!
“Use the Holy Relic Contract to purify the Honkai pollution!” Bronya’s voice was calm and firm, like a bright light in the darkness, bringing a glimmer of hope to people.
The golden chain, like a whip of divine punishment, burst out from the holy sword and pierced through Otto’s mechanical body!
“Ah——” Otto let out a painful roar. His seemingly indestructible mechanical body was as thin as paper and was easily pierced by the golden chains!
At the end of the golden chain, there was a beating heart!
This heart flashes with a strange time sand light, as if it contains endless energy, and it is like a time bomb that may explode at any time!
This… is the Tokisaga Core? !
Lin Xiaobei was shocked. This thing looked too weird!
At this moment, Lu Li’s boss, the monster made of a combination of machinery and flesh, suddenly burst into hysterical laughter: “The truth about the Shisha Corridor… is the container for the Administration’s letter of repentance!” The red light in his mechanical eyes flickered like a dying flame.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to swell violently, like an inflated balloon that could explode at any time!
“Oh no! He’s going to self-destruct!” Lin Xiaobei’s face changed drastically. This old guy wants to take someone with him before he dies?!
With a loud bang, Lu Li’s boss’ body turned into fragments all over the sky, like fireworks, brilliant but short-lived.
The scene freezes at the moment when Kiana’s mechanical finger is about to pierce Lin Xiaobei’s heart… Time seems to stand still, and the air is filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tension…
“Xiaobei…” Kiana’s voice was cold and mechanical, yet with a hint of imperceptible… hesitation?
Asking for flowers and collections, wishing all the big guys happy every day and good luck!
Chapter 56: Quantum Countdown: The Twin Trap at the Heart of the Authority (Old Version)
“Xiaobei…” Kiana’s voice was like a ghost crawling out of the abyss, icy cold, but with a barely perceptible… tremor?
The extended mechanical finger was as sharp as a knife, reflecting a frightening cold light in the dim light.
At the critical moment, Lin Xiaobei felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat!
This girl, I’m afraid she’s going to make me feel completely chilled and my heart soar?
Suddenly, a strange energy wave burst out from Kiana, and the pink Houkai energy was like a flood that broke through the dam, instantly submerging her.
Oh my god, what is going on?
Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes, feeling that his worldview was collapsing.
Kiana’s originally clear blue eyes were now flashing with an eerie purple-red light, and her originally energetic smile was twisted into a cold mechanical sneer. It felt like she was possessed by something, so weird!
“The true power of the Twin Contract… is the devouring of memories!” Kiana’s voice was no longer that of the familiar energetic girl, but was full of metallic texture, as cold and ruthless as a robot.
Oh my god, is this the legendary split personality?
This reversal is so exciting!
Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was not enough. This plot was even more exciting than riding a roller coaster!
At the same time, Bronya’s mechanical prosthesis suddenly unfolded and turned into a data barrier flashing blue light, blocking Lin Xiaobei.
This girl is quite reliable at critical moments!
“The final form of the Tokisana Key… is the soul fragment of the contractor!” Bronya’s voice was calm and composed, as if everything was under her control.
Her slender fingers danced in the air, forcibly linking the system interface on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist with Kiana’s armor. The blue data streams were like swimming electric snakes, interweaving into a dense web between the two of them.
At this moment, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone, as fast as a flash of lightning, making it almost impossible to see his appearance.
The figure was like a ghost, instantly penetrating layers of quantum locks, leaving behind a residual image.
It’s Shirasu Azusa!
Lin Xiaobei recognized this mysterious guy at a glance. This guy is so elusive every time he appears, it’s even more amazing than having cheats!
“The confession from the top brass of the administration… is a container of lies!” Bai Zhouzi’s voice sounded vague and illusory, as if it came from another world.
As he finished speaking, golden sand began to flow out of the hourglass in the reverse direction, as if time was flowing backwards. It was magical and strange.
In the surging golden data stream, Lu Li’s boss’s mechanical eyes flashed with strange light, like a demon about to wake up, which was chilling.
The plot became more and more confusing. Lin Xiaobei felt like he had fallen into a huge whirlpool and had no idea what was going on.
A bright red warning suddenly appeared on the system interface that Bronya was linked to: “Warning! The soul fluctuations of the contractor are abnormal! Memory devouring is about to begin!” Damn it, this is not a joke!
Lin Xiaobei felt a chill on his back. If his memory was devoured, wouldn’t he become an idiot?
No, we have to find a way to get out of this quickly!
He subconsciously tried to break free from Bronya’s control, but found himself bound by an invisible force and unable to move.
Kiana’s mechanical fingers were getting closer and closer to Lin Xiaobei’s heart. The cold touch was like the scythe of the god of death hanging over his head.
This girl, she’s not really going to kill me, is she?
Lin Xiaobei’s heart almost beat out of his throat. This plot was too damn exciting!
Suddenly, Kiana stopped moving, and a hint of struggle flashed in her cold mechanical eyes.
“Xiaobei… I’m sorry…” She murmured softly, with a hint of unspeakable sadness in her voice.
What is this about?
Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain had completely shut down. This plot was even more ridiculous than any of the soap operas at night!
Kiana’s fingers gently stroked Lin Xiaobei’s cheek. The cold touch made him feel an inexplicable warmth.
What does this girl want to do?
Lin Xiaobei’s heart was full of doubts. He felt like a lamb to be slaughtered and had no idea what would happen next.
“If…if there is an afterlife…” Kiana’s voice became lower and lower, as if it would disappear at any time.
“Can we… meet again…” Kiana’s movements suddenly became faster than the Flash on drugs!
He was gently caressing Lin Xiaobei’s cheek one second ago, and in the next second he suddenly hugged him with such force that it seemed as if he could crush all of Lin Xiaobei’s bones!
“With the Valkyrie’s oath… activate the resonance of the end!” Kiana’s voice was no longer the cold and mechanical one before, but carried a kind of resolute and tragic solemnity, like a warrior who was about to die, giving his last cry!
What is this girl doing?!
Lin Xiaobei felt like he was not feeling well at all. The plot was going to be wilder than a wild horse that had broken free from its reins!
Before he could react, a stream of burning energy surged out of Kiana’s body like magma, instantly pouring into his heart!
“Oh shit! It’s so hot!” Lin Xiaobei felt like his heart was about to be roasted. This feeling was more exciting than drinking ten bottles of Erguotou!
This golden energy is none other than Kiana’s Honkai energy. It is like a series of violent electric snakes, rampaging through his body, as if it wants to tear him into pieces!
At the same time, the Holy Contract on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist began to flash wildly, emitting dazzling light!
The golden energy of collapse intertwined with the power of the Holy Contract, forming chains that shone with golden light, like giant pythons, entwining towards Otto’s holographic image!
Otto’s image was tightly bound by golden chains, like a tied-up dumpling, unable to move.
The expression on his face changed from shock at the beginning to twisted anger, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he was furious!
“Thank you for injecting the memories of the contractor into me—” Otto’s voice was filled with a chilling chill, like a demon from hell, chilling.
His holographic image began to distort violently, flickering like a program about to crash.
At this moment, Otto’s holographic image suddenly exploded, turning into countless tiny points of light and dissipating into the air!
Then, a larger and more majestic holographic image appeared in front of everyone!
Who is this? !
Lin Xiaobei felt like his jaw was about to drop. The plot twist was faster than the face-changing in Sichuan Opera!
This new holographic image is wearing a black uniform and a silver mask on his face. He exudes a suffocating sense of oppression. You can tell at first glance that he is a ruthless character!
“The Space-Time Administration Bureau…The Chief Executive…” Bronya’s voice was filled with a hint of shock that was hard to conceal, as if she had seen something incredible.
The highest executive officer of the Space-Time Administration? !
This guy is the mastermind behind this? !
Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was not enough. This plot was even more brain-burning than a spy movie!
At the same time, Tokisaga’s core suddenly projected a huge clone matrix, which was densely packed with countless Kiana clones. It was like a weird exhibition hall, creepy!
What the hell is this?!
Lin Xiaobei felt that his three views were being refreshed. This plot was even more outrageous than a science fiction movie!
“03:00…The real headquarters of the Administration is in…AOTU World!” Bronya’s voice was calm and rapid, as if she was reading out the final judgment.
AOTU WORLD?!
What the hell is that place?!
Lin Xiaobei felt like he had fallen into a huge maze and couldn’t find the direction at all!
At this moment, golden sand began to flow backwards, as if time was flowing backwards, rushing towards Lin Xiaobei’s pupils!
“Wait! What is going on here?!” Lin Xiaobei wanted to dodge, but found that his body could not move at all, as if he was nailed to the spot!
Golden sand, like a tide, poured into Lin Xiaobei’s eyes. He felt his consciousness begin to blur, as if he was being sucked into an unknown vortex…
“Xiaobei! Remember…I…” Kiana’s voice seemed to come from the distant sky, ethereal…
Lin Xiaobei felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness…
“Don’t…sleep…” A faint voice sounded in his ears, like the buzzing of a mosquito…
…”Don’t… forget… me…”
Asking for flowers and collections, thank you, I wish you all great wealth. Happy every day
Chapter 57: The End of Time and Sand: The Truth of the Administration’s Confession (Old Version)
Kiana’s voice was so far away and so light, like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.
“Don’t…sleep…”
“Don’t… forget… me…”
Lin Xiaobei wanted to grab something, but found that he could not grab anything.
He was like a fallen leaf floating in a sea of ​​chaos, powerless and confused.
At this moment, a burning energy suddenly tore through the golden silence.
The familiar futuristic-looking armor on Kiana’s body actually began to crack and break!
“What the hell?!” Lin Xiaobei’s eyes almost popped out.
The role-playing scene suddenly changed?
Or…
The next second, he knew the answer.
Kiana suddenly tore open the armor on her chest, revealing… a still beating, living human heart!
“Oh my god! Such a big deal?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain was about to burn.
This development is definitely of restricted level!
“The truth about Subject No. 0… I am Kiana Rosta’s real body!” Kiana’s voice was no longer weak and ethereal as before, but full of strength and determination.
Her eyes burst into an unprecedented light, and a violent energy surged out of her body. It was… Honkai energy!
Pure, undiluted, Houkai energy that is enough to destroy the world!
Kiana actually directly poured this Honkai energy into Lin Xiaobei’s system interface!
It was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
Countless images and memories came flooding in like a tide, impacting his consciousness.
He saw the flames of war all over the sky, saw countless lives struggling under the iron hoof of destruction, and saw a girl who, in despair, still tightly grasped the sword in her hand, guarding everything she cherished.
That is… the memory of the real Kiana Rosta!
At the same time, the golden sand particles that were originally going to devour Lin Xiaobei began to gather and condense frantically. Finally, in front of Lin Xiaobei’s eyes, lines of text formed:
This is Tokisa’s letter of repentance!
However, this is not the end.
Bronya also moved.
Her mechanical prosthesis, which originally looked like a decoration, suddenly began to deform and expand like a blooming metal flower. Finally, it turned into a huge, sophisticated… hourglass!
“The ultimate goal of the Administration… is to collect the bond energy of the twin contractors!” Bronya’s voice was cold and firm, like steel.
Without hesitation, she forcibly connected Katarina’s holy sword and the card representing the contract together, forming a complex, divinely shining… purification array!
The purification array emitted a dazzling light, instantly enveloping the entire space.
“Aaaaaaah!”
Lu Li’s boss let out a painful wail.
His mechanical body, which originally seemed to be relatively intact, began to disintegrate piece by piece, like a wax figure burned by fire.
“The end of the Time and Sand Corridor… is the trial of destiny in the Aotu world!” He roared, and the core on his chest suddenly projected a three-dimensional coordinate.
It was a space composed of countless twisted lines and geometric shapes, full of unknown dangers and temptations.
That is… the coordinates of the Administration headquarters!
The key to the concave and convex world!
Lin Xiaobei looked at everything in front of him and felt like he was on a roller coaster. One wave after another came, stimulating his adrenaline to soar.
“This plot… is simply explosive!”
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Now is not the time to be confused, but to… figure out the situation!
“So, the Space-Time Administration is the real mastermind behind this? And our mission is to go to the AOTU world and challenge their destiny trial?” Lin Xiaobei’s mind was working rapidly.
However, at this moment, a sudden change made Lin Xiaobei’s heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
Kiana, who had calmed down, suddenly covered her head in pain.
“Ah… my head… hurts…”
Her originally clear eyes began to become confused, chaotic, and even… crazy!
“Kiana! What’s wrong with you?!” Lin Xiaobei rushed over and tried to support her.
However, Kiana pushed him away suddenly, raised her head, and looked at him with a strange, cold gaze.
“Haha… I really miss this body…” A low, sarcastic voice came from Kiana’s mouth.
“Otto…” Bronya’s voice was full of vigilance.
Otto?
A name flashed through Lin Xiaobei’s mind.
The most notorious scientist in the Honkai series!
Before Lin Xiaobei could react, Kiana – or rather, Otto who occupied Kiana’s body, slowly raised his hand… Otto’s voice was like a poisonous snake dipped in ice, hissing with a creepy chill.
“Thank you for infusing me with the bond of the Contractor – I accept this great gift!”
At this moment, Kiana’s body seemed to have turned into a horrifying container, containing an existence that was far beyond human understanding.
The golden Honkai energy was no longer as violent as before, but strangely restrained, like a supernova about to explode, brewing the power to destroy the world.
This power began to merge incredibly with Lin Xiaobei’s system interface!
“Sizzle, sizzle—”
The harsh sound of electricity exploded in the air.
The system interface, with its originally simple lines and icons, began to twist and deform, as if being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.
The golden Honkai energy, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, spread and eroded madly along the veins of the system.
“What the hell! What the hell is this?!” Lin Xiaobei felt like his brain was about to explode.
This scene was more shocking and crazier than any sci-fi blockbuster he had ever seen!
The system interface, which originally emitted a soft blue light, was now dyed with a strange golden color, as if it was coated with a layer of gold foil.
The golden light became brighter and brighter, and finally, it converged into a huge, rotating golden vortex!
That was not an ordinary vortex, but a… black hole!
A black hole formed by the forced fusion of Honkai energy and system interface, emitting terrifying suction force!
“Get the cool part! The ultimate explosion of the special effects of the fusion of system and Honkai energy!” Lin Xiaobei shouted wildly in his heart.
This picture is so cool that it has no parallels!
At this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the black hole.
She was wearing a pure white wedding dress, like a goddess descending to earth, holy and beautiful.
However, her eyes were as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion.
In her hand, she held a card.
That is not an ordinary card, but… a wedding contract card!
“The real Time Sand Key… is the authority of the Forgotten Administration!” Baizhou Zi’s voice sounded like it came from the Nine Nether Hell, with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Without hesitation, she inserted the wedding contract card into the core of the black hole!
A low humming sound resounded through heaven and earth.
The black hole began to tremble violently, spinning faster and faster, and its suction force became stronger and stronger.
Then, something even more incredible happened.
In Lin Xiaobei’s system interface, the contract cards that were originally scattered around, representing various two-dimensional characters, suddenly began to automatically arrange and combine, as if they were controlled by an invisible hand, playing a grand jigsaw puzzle game.
Three thousand contract cards were flying and spinning in the air, and finally formed a huge…star gate shining with colorful light!
That is not the star gate leading to the two-dimensional world, but… the star gate leading to the Aotu world!
“Oh my god! This is too awesome!” Lin Xiaobei felt like his jaw was about to drop.
This development was even more exciting and thrilling than he had imagined!
However, before he could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He looked down and found that a golden vortex had appeared in his heart area!
“The final form of the imaginary core… is a cage of bondage!” A cold voice sounded in his mind.
It wasn’t his voice, or the voice of anyone he knew.
That was a voice… coming from the void!
The picture froze at the moment when Kiana’s mechanical fingers and the Administration’s star gate lit up at the same time.
Bronya’s mechanical eyes flickered with a strange light.
That is… the encrypted code of the AOTU World referee!
“The referee’s ball… is about to go on the line?” Bronya muttered to herself, her voice terribly low.
Asking for flowers, asking for collections, wishing the big guys happy every day, and the system is coming!
Chapter 58: Chess Game of Fate: Preliminary Trap of System Analysis (Old Version)
“Imaginary number core…the cage of bondage…” Lin Xiaobei covered his chest, feeling as if his heart was being tightened by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe.
A golden vortex swirled in his chest, like a greedy black hole that wanted to swallow everything he had.
He stumbled back, and the world before his eyes began to distort. The flashing light of Kiana’s mechanical fingers and the Administration’s star gate shone together, like a sign of doomsday.
Bronya’s deep voice echoed in his ears, like a whisper from hell, making him shudder.
Referee ball…on the line?
Suddenly, Bai Xing’s holographic projection appeared like a god descending from heaven, covering the entire arena.
His old but powerful voice resounded through the sky: “Rules of the Destiny Cup – You can advance by defeating your opponent or triggering the resonance of the star and destiny!”
Before Lin Xiaobei had time to digest this sudden information, he felt someone suddenly grabbing his collar.
A faint fragrance entered his nostrils, and then Leona’s delicate face was almost touching his face, and her hot breath sprayed on his ears.
“Hey, stupid contractor, the tactical analysis on your system interface is getting hot!” Her tone was a little anxious, but also mixed with a pride that was difficult to conceal.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned and subconsciously looked at the system interface on his wrist.
Sure enough, the tactical analysis module was flashing a dazzling red light, like a bomb that could explode at any time.
Before he could take a closer look, a cold voice rang out.
“The first match is… Lin Xiaobei vs. Camille?” Baiyin’s voice was like a poisonous snake, cold and harsh.
His mechanical arm slowly unfolded and turned into a star blade shining with cold light, as if it was going to tear the person to pieces in the next second.
Camille suddenly rolled his eyes at Lin Xiaobei, his tone full of disdain: “Stop pretending! Your system has already figured out the code loophole I deliberately left open! You want to use me as a stepping stone? No way!”
“Code loophole? Letting the game go?” Lin Xiaobei was confused. What on earth was going on?
He quickly checked the system interface, and saw that it clearly showed: Leona’s star fate resonance rate was 87%, and there was a data black hole in the finals circle –
Before he could finish reading, Leona suddenly drew her sword and slashed at his wrist!
The projected contract card shattered instantly and turned into starlight that dissipated in the air.
“How dare you say you won’t let me go on stage and try?” Her eyes were wide open with dangerous light flashing in them, like an enraged lioness.
Lin Xiaobei was stunned. This girl was really tough!
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn’t know where to start.
This system, this competition, and these weird guys all made him feel like he had fallen into a huge whirlpool and was completely confused about the situation.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Now is not the time to dwell on these things, he must figure out what is going on as soon as possible, otherwise, he will most likely become the first cannon fodder to be eliminated in this game.
“Leona, let me explain…”
“Explanation is a cover-up!” Leona interrupted him, the tip of the sword pointed directly at his throat, “Do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? You want me to be a cannon fodder, and you want to reap the benefits!”
“That’s not the case…”
“Shut up!”
The silver star blade suddenly began to vibrate violently, making a buzzing sound, as if something was about to break out of its cocoon…Leona’s sword, shining with cold light, pointed directly at Lin Xiaobei’s throat like a poisonous snake, and the sword exuded a cold murderous intent, as if it would take his life in the next second.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt as if he was frozen, his whole body stiff and unable to move.
He could clearly feel the biting chill from the sword’s edge, as well as the anger and disappointment emanating from Leona.
He knew that if he could not give a reasonable explanation, he would probably be killed on the spot today and become the first contractor in the history of “Destiny Cup” to be killed by the character he summoned.
If this gets out, won’t Lin Xiaobei become the laughing stock of the entire two-dimensional world?
“Leona, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think!” Lin Xiaobei said hurriedly, his voice trembling a little.
He tried to raise his hands to show that he meant no harm, but he found that his body was completely out of control, as if it was bound by some invisible force.
At this critical moment, something strange happened!
The star blade, which was originally flashing with cold light, suddenly began to vibrate violently, making a “buzzing” sound, as if something was about to break out of its cocoon.
A strange smile appeared on Baiyin’s lips.
“The real rule of Star Resonance… is to collect the contestants’ bond data!” Baiyin’s voice was like a demon from hell, full of temptation and evil.
The Star Blade in his hand began to frantically absorb the surrounding energy, and the light on the ring began to dim, as if the whole world was about to be swallowed by darkness.
At the same time, Camille’s mechanical prosthesis began to flash wildly, and green data streams flowed rapidly on his arms like countless wandering poisonous snakes.
His face, which was full of disdain, also revealed an unprecedented solemnity and seriousness.
“The space-time anchor point of auditorium No. 17 has been detected!” Camille’s voice was full of shock and anxiety. He seemed to have discovered some great secret, but he couldn’t be completely sure.
“What? Space-time anchor point?” Lin Xiaobei was stunned when he heard Camille’s words, and his heart was full of doubts.
He had no idea what Camille was talking about, nor did he know what a space-time anchor point was.
However, before he could come to his senses, Leona’s sword suddenly pierced his back!
The sound of the sharp blade entering the flesh was clearly heard by Lin Xiaobei, and a piercing pain instantly spread throughout his body.
He felt his vitality rapidly fading away, and his consciousness began to become blurred.
“Leona, you…” Lin Xiaobei turned his head with difficulty, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn’t speak at all.
He could only watch Leona.
However, there was no expression on Leona’s face;
“The Purification Ritual of the Foolish Knight!” Leona’s voice was low and solemn, as if a devout believer was chanting an ancient spell.
I saw a golden contract energy flowing along the sword and continuously injected into Lin Xiaobei’s body.
This energy was filled with warmth and light, instantly dispelling the darkness and pain in his body.
He felt that some wonderful changes were taking place in his body, as if it was being reshaped.
At the same time, the system interface began to flash wildly, and golden runes flew rapidly before his eyes, as if unlocking some mysterious seal.
“Ding! Star Fate Chain detected, cracking…”
“1%…5%…10%…50%…100%!”
“The Star Fate Chain has been cracked, and the preliminary competition arena permissions have been unlocked!”
As the system prompt sounded, Lin Xiaobei felt the power in his body surge instantly, as if he had broken free from some invisible restraints.
He could clearly feel everything around him, even the energy flowing in the air.
He knew that he had succeeded!
“Awesome! This is the experience a real man should have!” Lin Xiaobei roared in his heart.
At this moment, Bai Xing in the referee’s seat suddenly pushed up his glasses, and complex encryption codes flashed in his deep mechanical eyes.
“The data in the third round is abnormal…the core coordinates of the Aotu world have been tampered with!” Bai Xing’s voice was full of shock and confusion. He seemed to have discovered some incredible secret, but he couldn’t be completely sure.
At the same time, the picture froze on the strange smile that appeared on Baiyin’s mouth.
His eyes, full of madness and bloodthirstiness, stared at Lin Xiaobei and Leona, as if waiting for something.
The air was filled with tension and anxiety. Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for what would happen next.
The silver star blade suddenly absorbed Leona’s sword energy, and the light on the blade became more dazzling, like a supernova about to explode.
“Star destiny resonance rate 100%…”
Please collect, ask for flowers, and wish everyone a happy day!
Chapter 59: Star Trap: Leona’s Contract Bet (Old Version)
“Star destiny resonance rate is 100%! Congratulations on advancing to the final round—” Baiyin’s voice was full of teasing, as if he was sure of victory.
He deliberately prolonged the ending tone, enjoying the last moment before victory.
But at this moment, something strange happened!
Leona bit her lip hard, and bright red blood dripped down her chin, leaving a shocking mark on her pale skin.
She touched the contract card with trembling fingertips that was glowing with golden light, and blood instantly spread out, like a blooming Lycoris radiata, enchanting and sad.
“Stupid contractor… catch my sword intent!” Her voice carried a hint of determination, a hint of reluctance, and even a hint of indescribable tenderness.
With the light touch of fingertips, a warm current flowed along Leona’s fingers to Lin Xiaobei’s palm, where an ancient contract pattern was emitting a faint golden light.
This feeling is like an electric current passing through the body, tingling and numb, with a hint of burning.
Lin Xiaobei could even feel the trembling of Leona’s fingertips and the emotions surging deep in her heart.
A wonderful connection was established between the two people, as if transcending the boundaries of time and space, a resonance of souls.
At this critical moment, Camille’s mechanical prosthesis suddenly unfolded and turned into a data barrier flashing complex codes.
“The star-life chain in the final circle… is the administration’s space-time cage!” Camille’s voice was cold and mechanical, without a trace of emotion, but it sounded like a thunder in Lin Xiaobei’s ears.
Space-time cage?
Lin Xiaobei’s heart trembled, and a chill instantly spread throughout his body.
He subconsciously looked at the system interface on his wrist, and a line of bright red warning text suddenly came into view: “Leona’s sword must deviate 15 degrees… Pretend to lose!”
Pretend to lose?
Lin Xiaobei’s brain was working rapidly, and in a flash, he seemed to understand something.
This was not a final round at all, but a trap, a trap set specifically for him!
Before she could think too much, Leona’s sword had already turned, carrying a sharp sword energy, and stabbed straight at – her own chest!
“With the swordsman’s oath… purify the false bonds!” Leona’s voice was clear and firm, without a trace of hesitation or fear.
The golden contract energy gushed out from Leona’s wound like a flood, instantly forming a huge star cage on the ring.
This cage is not for trapping the enemy, but for…
“Baiyin, you’ve been fooled.” Lin Xiaobei sneered, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
Baiyin’s face, which originally had a smug smile on it, instantly twisted into a hideous look, as if someone had forced a bitter gourd into it. The expression was as brilliant as it could be.
“True resonance of destiny requires… the memory sacrifice of the contractor!”
As his harsh sound like metal friction rang out, his originally normal body suddenly swelled up like a balloon.
It was not a funny circle, but was stretched out at a weird angle. The metal skeleton groaned under the heavy burden. Finally, a huge star-shaped colossus flashing with strange light suddenly appeared on the ring.
This thing, rather than a human figure, is more like a bunch of parts randomly piled together. It has sharp edges and corners, and each corner flashes an ominous light.
Oh my goodness, is it that the Transformers have gone astray, or that the Gundam drank fake liquor?
Lin Xiaobei was complaining madly in his heart, but he did not dare to let his guard down at all.
Then, the judge’s staff in Baiyin’s hand began to vibrate wildly as if being pulled by some force. The patterns on the staff, which were originally just decorations, seemed to come alive and emitted a dazzling light.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the top of the referee’s staff, projecting a complex coordinate pattern in the air.
“The core of the Aotu World is on… the top floor of the Tower of Destiny!”
This coordinate pattern is extremely complex, with countless lines intertwined together, making it dizzy and making people wish they could gouge out their eyes.
However, Lin Xiaobei keenly captured several key pieces of information – AOTU World and the Tower of Destiny.
AOTU world?
Isn’t that your favorite cartoon when you were a kid?
Countless memories flashed through Lin Xiaobei’s mind in an instant, but they were quickly replaced by the sense of crisis before him.
What on earth is this Baiyin trying to do?
At this moment, Lin Xiaobei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if an invisible big hand was tightly grasping his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He subconsciously looked down and found that a bright red countdown had appeared on his chest!
“03:00…”
The countdown was still decreasing rapidly, and every second was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Xiaobei’s nerves hard.
The Administration’s star anchor?
He felt that his brain was no longer sufficient. All kinds of information flooded in like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to think.
“The Administration’s star anchor is on Leona’s hilt!” The system’s prompt sounded like a wake-up call, instantly pulling Lin Xiaobei out of his confused thoughts.
Lin Xiaobei suddenly raised his head and looked at the sword in Leona’s hand.
At this moment, Leona was maintaining the posture of stabbing herself in the chest, but there was a strange calmness on her face, as if the one who was about to die was not herself, but an insignificant stranger.
What made Lin Xiaobei even more uneasy was that all the contract cards in his hand were turned upside down!
You know, these contract cards are the source of his power and the foundation of his survival in this world.
Now, like traitors, they revealed their dark side.
While Lin Xiaobei was still in shock, Leona’s sword had already pierced into the core of Lin Xiaobei’s system interface without hesitation!
“No!” Lin Xiaobei cried out in despair in his heart, but it was too late.
There was a crisp sound, as if glass was breaking, and Lin Xiaobei felt his soul tremble.
He knew that his system was in danger.
However, things did not develop as Lin Xiaobei imagined.
Leona’s sword did not cause fatal damage to the system. Instead, it was like a key that opened some long-sealed mechanism.
Camille’s mechanical eyes suddenly burst into dazzling sparks, and the originally cold electronic sound began to tremble.
“Leona’s sword soul mark has been detected… She is not an ordinary summoned character at all!”
Not a normal summon character?
Lin Xiaobei widened his eyes and looked at Leona in disbelief.
He always thought that Leona was just a character summoned by the system, a tool that could fight for him.
But now, Camille told him that Leona’s identity was far from as simple as he imagined.
Who is Leona?
Why is she here?
What kind of secret is hidden in her?
Countless questions popped up in Lin Xiaobei’s mind like mushrooms after rain.
And at this moment, the picture froze on Leona’s face.
A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
That smile was neither sarcastic nor complacent, but rather an indescribable calmness, as if everything had been anticipated and under control.
“Hehe…” Leona said softly, her voice as gentle as a lover’s whisper, but it made Lin Xiaobei feel creepy.
“The game has just begun…”
Asking for flowers, asking for collections, and wishing the big guys good luck and success in their systems!
Chapter 60: The End of Destiny: The Golden Shackles of System Authority (Old Version)
“The truth behind the Destiny Cup… is to collect the bond data of the Twin Contractors!” The silver star-shaped colossus made a deafening roar, like a black hole that swallowed everything, madly absorbing the energy of all the contestants in the final circle.
This sudden change made Lin Xiaobei feel empty inside, as if something important was forcibly taken away from him.
He looked at the scene in disbelief, his mind going blank.
What twin contractors?
What bond data?
Just then, Leona moved.
She tore open the scabbard violently, and with a flash of cold light, a long sword flowing with silver light suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
However, what was even more shocking was that a strange mark suddenly appeared on Leona’s fair arm, like some kind of mysterious rune, emitting a cold aura.
“My sword soul template… comes from subject No. 0 in AOTU world!” Leona’s voice was no longer as clear and pleasant as before. Instead, it carried a hint of metallic coldness, as if it was an echo coming from the depths of hell, making people shudder.
Experimental subject No. 0?
Lin Xiaobei felt that his worldview was collapsing.
He was like Alice falling into the rabbit hole, and everything before his eyes became bizarre and incomprehensible.
Could it be that the partner he had always trusted was actually…
Before he could react, Camille on the other side also started to do something incredible.
His sophisticated mechanical prosthesis suddenly pierced into the back of his neck. The sound of metal rubbing against flesh and blood was clearly heard by Lin Xiaobei, causing him to feel physically uncomfortable.
“The real rule of star-fate resonance… is that activating the golden authority requires the sacrifice of the contractor’s memory!” Camille’s voice was intermittent, with a hissing electronic noise, like a machine that was about to be scrapped, uttering its last wail.
Memory Sacrifice?!
Lin Xiaobei felt his heart suddenly shrink, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He suddenly understood why Camille’s eyes were so determined and why he did such a crazy thing.
Camille suddenly inserted a contract card that was flashing with strange light into Lin Xiaobei’s heart.
The intense pain made Lin Xiaobei groan, but he did not resist.
Because he knew that Camille was using her own life to buy him a chance of survival.
“Use my data stream… to reverse hack into the system!” Camille’s voice became weaker and weaker, and his body began to become transparent, as if it would disappear into the air at any time.
At the same time, the sword in Leona’s hand suddenly turned into a golden stream of stars, like a meteor across the night sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
“With the swordsman’s oath… activate the resonance of the end!” Leona’s voice was full of power, like a warrior about to step onto the battlefield, swearing his determination.
Golden star streams intertwined and entangled in the void, forming chains that sparkled with dazzling light, like a judgment from heaven, with unparalleled power, penetrating the silver mechanical body.
The silver star-shaped colossus let out a sharp wail, and its huge body began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
“No…this is impossible!” Baiyin’s voice was full of shock and fear, and he seemed unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.
The corners of Leona’s mouth curled up in a cold arc.
“The game…” she began slowly, her voice low and powerful, “It’s over.”
Under the impact of Leona’s golden sword, the silver star-shaped colossus began to flicker like a punctured balloon, making a teeth-grinding sound of metallic distortion.
This guy was still mumbling something about “twin contractors” and “bond data” as if he was doing some evil scientific experiment, which made people feel sick.
Suddenly, the judge’s staff in Baiyin’s hand, the thing that symbolized the supreme judicial power, actually projected a huge holographic image like a projector that broke down.
The scene was clearly the top floor of the Tower of Destiny, but in the space that was supposed to be empty, a huge cage that shone with a metallic luster actually appeared!
“The truth at the top of the Tower of Destiny… is the quantum cage of the Space-Time Administration!” A cold mechanical voice came from the holographic image, like a declaration from hell, instantly silencing the entire finals venue.
Oh my goodness, it turns out that this Destiny Cup is a huge trap and the contestants are all guinea pigs!
Lin Xiaobei felt like he was being played around, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
At this moment, the originally quiet contract cards on Lin Xiaobei’s wrist suddenly started spinning wildly as if they had taken drugs, flashing colorful lights, and finally merged together to form a star gate exuding a mysterious atmosphere!
This star gate is like the entrance to another world, full of unknowns and dangers, but it makes people want to explore it.
The silver mechanical eyes also began to flash wildly at this time, emitting a series of complex data streams, as if performing some kind of urgent calculation.
His metallic synthesized voice also became distorted, with a hint of madness: “Thank you for injecting the bond of the contractor into me–“
This guy, really treats them as power banks?
Lin Xiaobei couldn’t help but complain in his heart, this is too ridiculous!
Just when Baiyin was getting too proud of himself, Leona moved.
Her golden sword, with an unstoppable momentum, fiercely pierced into the core of the system interface that was flashing with data streams, just like forcibly shutting down a crazy computer.
“True astral resonance requires… the purification of two worlds at the same time!” Leona’s voice, like the sound of an ancient bell, was solemn and sacred, with an irresistible power.
On the other side, Camille’s mechanical body suddenly began to disintegrate, as if it was disintegrated from the inside by some powerful force. Metal fragments flew everywhere, making a harsh friction sound.
“The final form of the golden authority… is the container for the Administration’s letter of repentance!” Camille’s voice was intermittent, with a hint of relief, as if he had accomplished some important mission.
Confession container?
Lin Xiaobei felt that his brain was no longer enough, the amount of information was too much!
The picture froze at the moment when the tip of Leona’s sword and the top of the Tower of Destiny lit up at the same time.
Two points of golden light, like two shining stars, shine against each other in the darkness, forming a strange scene.
At the last moment, the silver mechanical eye flashed the coordinates of the Space-Time Administration Headquarters, and then completely went out, like a burnt-out meteor, disappearing into the night sky.
“Space-Time Administration…we are here…” Lin Xiaobei muttered to himself, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
