Chapter 57: Crushing a Bug
In the hundred-story venue of the Bolorenz Hotel.
"The star core has been recovered. Kafuka, it's time for us to leave." A star core hunter with bright silver paint and a cross-pulsed flame extending from the chest mechanism stepped on the wreckage of the fire demon and spoke with that cold mechanical voice.
A woman with a white lining, a black cloak-style shawl coat dotted with spider webs, and eye-catching purple-red long hair was raising her finger and pulling the purple-red thin lines spreading throughout the room, saying:
"Don't be in a hurry, Sam. It's not easy for Silver Wolf to return to Punk Lolita. Give her some time."
"This is not part of Elio's script." Sam's cold voice sounded again.
"Well, I know. However, in Elio's script, those clowns from the Eternal Fire Mansion will not be defeated by a person outside the budget either." Kafuka stretched out her hand, with a playing card clamped between her fingertips:
"But no matter what the process is, it will lead to that destined ending, right?"
Sam was silent for a moment, extinguished the pulsed flame of the mechanism, and said:
"We only have three system hours."
"That's enough, Sam."
According to Elio's script, they came to Punk Lolita and recovered this star core that was about to be auctioned.
The Annihilation Gang and those troublemakers from the Eternal Fire Mansion are just tools for them to create chaos.
As for why they let "Grand Duke of Netherfire" Afrit go, it's because.
In Elio's script, there still needs a role for him to play.
....
His brain was groggy. Bai Heng seemed to be trapped in a sea of drowsiness, sinking deeper and deeper. The schools of fish in the deep sea blocked the light seeping from the sea surface, and the swaying water plants entangled his limbs.
This feeling is very strange. It's as if he knows he is dreaming, but he is bound by the dream and cannot wake up.
But to be honest, in just two months, he has experienced such scenes countless times.
"Gulu... Gulugulu... Gulu..."
When Bai Heng felt a large amount of seawater starting to flood into his abdomen, he knew that he was about to wake up.
"Cough..."
Accompanied by a cough that cleared his lungs, Bai Heng's senses gradually regained consciousness.
However, there was still a faint stabbing pain in the back of his head. Did he hit his head at the last moment of his unconsciousness...
Bai Heng slowly opened his eyes. His vision transitioned from a blurry white to gradually becoming clear. He didn't believe in gods and naturally didn't believe in heaven either. But the face that leaned in was flawless and dyed with a warm glow, like an angel bowing down to kiss his forehead.
He smelled the warm fragrance on the angel, like a flower dampened by rain.
"Are you awake?" Ruan Mei asked softly.
"In the current atmosphere, I think I should pretend to be unconscious for a while longer."
Bai Heng was lying on Ruan Mei's lap, feeling the faint warm fragrance. Perhaps there was a bit more relief after surviving a disaster in his eyes.
After all, in that situation at that time, he might really have fallen into the hands of the Annihilation Gang.
He was still too weak. Even though he now had some means to protect his life, it was not enough to deal with all situations.
An ancient sword tainted with the aura of destruction and preservation, a remnant soul of the Suiyang Emperor Kui, the right to open the black domain and the right to use the primordial card. These are the cards he currently holds.
Oh, right. Perhaps the points in the simulation mall can also be counted. As a hoarder, he has accumulated for so long and should find a time to go shopping in the mall.
But even so, he could only deal with enemies below the envoys. If he really encountered his former "colleagues" or enemies on the same level as them, what were his chances of coping?
Bai Heng unconsciously simulated that situation in his mind.
Hiding in the black domain is one way, using the primordial card for spatial jumps is one way... But these are all inferior strategies for escape.
In situations where he couldn't escape, Bai Heng could only try to take a gamble with that remnant soul of Emperor Kui.
In his previous life on the Xianzhou, by fusing with Emperor Kui and then using the "soul-separating" sword tainted with the aura of destruction to cut off his physical form, he finally gained the attention of Nanook.
He became a destruction envoy other than the permanent seven seats of the Great Lord of Annihilation.
But in the end, he was 反噬 by Emperor Kui and died.
Now, his mental power has been greatly enhanced when he obtained the talent trait "Punk Lolita Spirit". If he really releases Emperor Kui, it may not be able to take the dominant position of his body.
Without needing the power of that guy, he can kick it into the black domain.
Even if he needs a sword tainted with the aura of destruction as a medium, he now has it.
Thinking about it this way, this idea might really be feasible.
Of course, this is the last trump card. Bai Heng won't use it easily and won't expose it easily.
"Cough cough..."
Just when Bai Heng was comfortably enjoying the lap pillow, an untimely cough suddenly sounded.
There was a third person in the room?
Bai Heng was a little confused. He slightly turned his head and saw that Herta was lazily crossing her legs, playing with her chestnut-silver hair with one hand, and casually scanning him and Ruan Mei with her purple-red eyes.
"Well... Ms. Herta is also here." Bai Heng's tone sounded like he regarded Herta as a third wheel, with a hint of dislike in it.
"So what if I am? Does my presence here affect your lovey-dovey moment?" Herta naturally sensed Bai Heng's intention to drive her away. Her eyebrows slightly raised and she said.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't leave.
"It's nothing. I just think it's very touching that you can stay here and watch over me until I wake up. Thank you." At this moment, Bai Heng suddenly changed his tone.
"Hmph..." Herta was a little surprised. Looking proud, she said:
"Good to know. The great Ms. Herta will never abandon any of her haters."
"When did I become your hater?" Bai Heng complained.
"Aren't you?"
While the two were arguing, Ruan Mei gently clapped her hands to stop the topic from developing in a strange direction:
"Okay, let's talk about business first."
Herta echoed:
"That's right. My time is very precious."
Bai Heng: speechless face.
"Tell me, how did you get that card." Herta asked.
Card? Bai Heng raised his hand. With a thought, the primordial card that he had stored in the black domain appeared at his fingertip.
Compared to ordinary cards, the primordial card is smaller in size but appears rougher in craftsmanship. Overall, it presents as a tin-gold chip.
But it is such a small thing that has caused the entire network of Punk Lolita to collapse.
Regarding Herta's question, Bai Heng briefly described what happened after he was dragged into the dream by Konstanz.
Accordingly, Ruan Mei also informed Bai Heng. During the time he was away.
The star core hunters appeared in the hundred-story venue of the Bolorenz Hotel and easily ended the chaos created by "Grand Duke of Netherfire" Afrit.
After that, they stopped chasing Afrit and only took away the star core.
In the middle, Herta also interjected. She emphasized to Bai Heng again that if she really wanted to deal with "Grand Duke of Netherfire" Afrit, it would be as easy as crushing a bug.
But if crushing this bug would dirty her hands, she naturally wouldn't do it.
But for the star core hunters, if a bug is jumping in front of them, these people might even be interested in playing with the bug.
Or use these bugs to do some... interesting things.
