Chapter 244
: Both Ends of the Balance 29
When Kai Xin woke up from sleep, the watch she had set hadn’t rung yet.
She looked at the ceiling to let go of her thoughts. Two minutes later, her wandering thoughts returned to her brain, and the alarm clock just rang.
Kai Xin turned off the alarm clock, propped himself up from the bed in the lounge, and stretched.
“Going to work.” She whispered.
The communicator shows that the current time is 23:21, which is close to midnight. Today is the first day of comeback, August 31st, the end of the month.
It is reasonable to focus on performance at the end of the month.
Amber sent a message, saying that he had successfully controlled the mouse and sneaked into the mechanical dawn branch at around ten o’clock at night, but because the pipeline was too complicated, he was currently groping, and it was almost twelve o’clock, and he hadn’t found out yet. Come to the next message.
Kai Xin sent him a message: “How is the situation?”
“Most of the employees at work have left, and the frequency of use of the sewer pipes has decreased. Now I have reached the sixth floor.” Amber replied quickly, “A mouse was found and cleaned up by the cleaning robot on the way. I groped slowly to avoid exposure.”
“Okay, I will send Ashes to help you.” Kai Xin said after thinking.
“Why didn’t you send Ashes here in the first place?” Amber knew that Ashes was the dark shadow sitting next to Kai Xin in the conference room, but that shadow was not Ashes’ body.
“Ash’s ability is limited.” Kai Xin explained.
Su Rong’s shadow double body can’t be too far away from the main body. The farther away it is, the weaker the connection with the shadow is, and the greater the energy consumption is. In the non-combat state, Su Rong’s shadow double body can last for a long time, and the combat state The lower shadow double body can only last for more than two hours.
So let Amber control the mouse to explore the path first, and then let the shadow doppelganger drive over to further explore and arrange, which can effectively reduce consumption.
Amber didn’t delve into it too much, he said: “I speculate that the headquarters of Trontop Technology Company is located on the middle floor. According to the layout habits before the mechanical dawn, the underground part is usually the research room, and the part above the ground will have the office and the headquarters. Kind of… In short, let that Ashes come over as soon as possible, and speed up the exploration.”
Kai Xin didn’t waste any more time, and immediately contacted Su Rong and left the resting base to meet her.
“Today might be a little risky. We’re going to the polar day zone. Your body can’t stay in the polar night zone. It’s too far away from the action site.” Kui Xin said when he picked her up.
Su Rong realized that this operation seemed to be different from the previous ones. Since she joined Wuguang, she has been involved in trivial matters, such as interviews, and intelligence exploration. There are very few occasions that really require her to take risks.
She was just a bystander in the last big incident that caused a power outage in half of Beluga City, and she didn’t help much. Kai Xin didn’t even let her participate.
Su Rong asked, “What are we… going to do?”
“Go and kill someone.” Kai Xin hesitated for a moment and said, “You have to be careful, don’t let the shadow be exposed to scare the snake, we only have one chance.”
Ye Chan is undoubtedly a slippery loach, as long as he is given a chance, he can run away, Ye Chan’s space vortex opens faster than Kai Xin’s, as long as he is given a little time, he can open the space vortex to Enough for one person to pass, he escaped, and Kai Xin could never catch him again.
Having experienced Kuixin’s assassination, Yechan will definitely be more cautious. No matter how bad it is, she will be accompanied by several bodyguards to protect her at any time. It will be even more difficult for her to succeed.
On the 31st, pressAccording to the timeline of the second world, less than five days have passed since Kai Xin’s counterattack returned to zero, and less than four days have passed since Kai Xin took Yotsuba away.
Kai Xin has been silent for a few days. She has been busy with interviews since she was killed and returned to zero. According to common sense, she really needs time to rest.
I hope that Eve and Night Cicada will relax their vigilance because of her silence these days.
September 1, 00:31.
Kui Xin and Su Rong successfully arrived at the vicinity of Chuangtuo Technology Company in Jiri District. Su Rong separated her shadow double body and sneaked in smoothly under the guidance of Hu Po’s communication.
Kui Xinjing and other news.
“The shadow has reached the ground.” Su Rong closed her eyes, analyzing the picture transmitted by the shadow doppelganger, “Their underground area is so big… There are so many surveillance cameras, I dare not show my head. Huh? The underground laboratory is so empty, they Have you moved everything? There don’t seem to be many people here…”
“It should be.” Kui Xin said.
Can’t you move out? This place has already been invaded by Kai Xin once, and the various equipment and experimental equipment stored in it are very valuable. Eve must be careful to keep these things there until she comes to rob again.
The underground experiment area is so big, it must not be easy to move all the things away. Eve must be working overtime these days to organize the relocation.
“There shouldn’t be too many people in the underground area. Go directly to the place where Amber explored. The two of you will explore separately.” Kui Xin said.
“Okay.” Su Rong controlled the shadow doppelganger to slowly pass through the wall and squeeze into the pipe.
It is really difficult to rendezvous with the mouse controlled by Amber, because the mouse does not have a locator on its body. If it is found by the cleaning robot and killed, the locator will be exposed, so it must be found in the winding pipe. The position of the mouse is really a bit difficult.
Mechanical Dawn’s team always likes to operate at night. This is for the sake of stealth. Team action does not mean that everyone in the Mechanical Dawn branch will continue to work. At night, there are indeed fewer people staying in Chuangtuo Technology Company.
Hu Po and Su Rong searched layer by layer. After nearly an hour, something happened to Hu Po.
A mouse came out of the bathroom in the office cubicle.
Only the offices of senior leaders have separate toilets, and there are public toilets in the corridors outside the offices of ordinary employees. So when the mouse poked its head and looked back to Amber, he knew that the mouse seemed to have entered the room led by Chuangtuo Technology through a pipe. In the office.
The mouse quickly got out of the smart toilet, and the toilet’s sensing device was triggered, and it started to spray water automatically.
Under Hu Po’s control, the mouse hid in the gap under the sink.
Outside the bathroom, Ji Xuan, secretary of Chuangtuo Technology Company, was stunned for a moment when he heard the abnormal noise in the office, and got up to go to the bathroom to check the situation.
He has been working overtime for several days in a row, working until late at night every day.
Ji Xuan went to the bathroom to have a look, and thought suspiciously: “Is the toilet sensor broken?”
He glanced around, found nothing unusual, and left the bathroom.
After returning to his work station, he received a communication. Yechan’s name was displayed on the communication screen, “Have the sixth batch of experimental equipment and backup data to be moved away been boxed?”
“It’s already packed.” Ji Xuan replied.
“The transportation and transfer will start on time at two o’clock, so prepare yourself.” Yechan said.
“Yes, I’ll prepare right away.” Ji Xuan said.
Ji Xuan dialed the communication number of the logistics staff, and explained to him: “The transportation starts at two o’clock in the morning, let the cargo robot deliver the goods to the unloading site, hurry up.”
After hanging up the communication, he started busy again.
As a result, a few seconds later, the toilet bowl made the sound of water again, and the mouse got back into the pipe.
Ji Xuan frowned after hearing the sound of water, and wrote a note on his work memo: “Notify the maintenance department to overhaul the toilet tomorrow morning…”
Outside of Chuangtuo Technology Company.
Amber’s voice came to Kai Xin’s ears, “I overheard Secretary Ji Xuan’s communication. They are going to move out the goods, and the time is set at two o’clock in the morning. Mechanical dawn has a special unloading site, and that place is connected with Chuangtuo Technology. The company’s multi-storey parking lot is connected, and the goods on the surface are all in and out there… This time I chose to move the goods there, probably because the volume of goods transported is too large and the space is insufficient.”
Kai Xin glanced at Su Rong, “Let your shadow retreat from the upstairs, enter the parking lot, and see if there are large freight vehicles inside, if not…”
If not, it means that the way of moving goods is most likely to be space transfer, rather than ordinary vehicle transportation.
“Amber, what’s Ji Xuan’s original words?” Kai Xin asked, “Did you mention Ye Chan’s location?”
“No.” Amber said after thinking carefully, “The original words only said when to pack the boxes and where the boxes were packed, and didn’t mention anything else.”
He thought for a while, switched to one-line communication with Kai Xin, blocked Su Rong and continued: “I suspect that Ye Chan may not be in the branch anymore, he is somewhere else. He can hide in another city and remotely open the space vortex There is no need to come to the scene to direct the transportation. Especially… Eve knows that you want to attack Ye Chan, and you also have a space vortex, so how could they not guess what you want to do?”
Amber is right, as early as when she raided the underground test site and took Clover away, Dawn of the Machine should have realized that this branch is no longer safe, and Kuixin is Ye Chan, she is absolutely impossible to stay and take risks of.
Facing elusive and hard-to-kill enemies, evasion is shameful, but useful.
what to do? Kai Xin frowned deeply.
The space vortex ability allows her to go back and forth between various placesAn important reliance for maintaining strong mobility is also an important reliance for her to fight against Depriver No. 777. The reorganization of S-level materials requires at least another S-level ability to compete.
Otherwise, in the future, the company opened by the Wuguang organization will be far away in Heihai City, Kai Xin will fight against Eve’s rebels in the federal administrative center, and he will rescue his companions in Fugang City to kill the Depriver No. It took a lot of time, where did she get so much time to waste? Time is a luxury for Kai Xin!
Therefore, the space vortex is a must, and it is an ability that she must obtain at all costs. The priority of obtaining this ability is even tied with the death cycle.
“Spikehead, the parking lot and the unloading site have been inspected, and no large trucks have been found.” Su Rong reported, “I only saw a lot of freight robots, and the robots were transporting goods loaded in silver-white tin boxes, and the freight robots carrying the goods were lined up. A straight line… like customers queuing at the breakfast stand.”
They are vortex in equal space. Kai Xin made a judgment.
It seems that the method of Mechanical Dawn to transport the goods is indeed space transfer. This method is efficient and fast, and it only needs a little effort from Yechan to complete.
Once the space vortex opens, the cargo robot carries the goods into the vortex one by one, and the goods transfer can be completed within a few minutes.
Is there a way to catch the night cicada?
The moment this question came to Kai Xin’s mind, she immediately thought of the answer, the only answer.
——enter the space vortex of Night Cicada together with the goods to be transported away.
As a person who also possesses the ability of space vortex, Kai Xin understands the mechanism of operation of this extraordinary ability.
When the space vortex is opened, two vortexes are actually opened at the same time. One vortex is on the side of the releaser, and the other is at the destination. An unknown passage is connected between the two vortexes, and both vortexes are responsible for the entrance and exit. Effect, entering one vortex will come out of another vortex.
That is to say, no matter where the destination of the space vortex is, one of the two vortexes must not be too far away from the releaser. Passing through the vortex opened at the destination, one can directly reach near the location of the releaser of the space vortex. Assuming that the limit moving distance of the space vortex is one kilometer, there will not be the situation that the No. 1 vortex is one kilometer away from the No. 2 vortex, and the releaser is one kilometer away from the No. 1 or No. 2 vortex.
Kai Xin unconsciously grasped the palm of his hand, his back tensed a little, and his heart began to beat faster.
Want to take a risk? she asked herself.
Where is the location of Night Cicada? How far is his body from the vortex? How many people are protecting him? Does she have the ability to surprise and kill Ye Chan after passing through the vortex and then retreat?
The most important point is that she has no chance of trial and error, and can’t send Hu Po or Su Rong to investigate. After entering the vortex, her eyes are darkened, and everything is in an unknown state.
For things that are more dangerous, Kai Xin first thinks about the consequences of mission failure.
If she failed to kill Ye Chan, needless to say, the worst outcome would be death. A slightly better result might be to use her own B-level space vortex to temporarily open a passage to escape in embarrassment. But she doesn’t know where the goods will be transported. Her space vortex transmission distance is too short. If she uses the space vortex to escape and finds herself in another city far away from Beluga City, there is no companion to support her. The killing team will be able to rush over soon, which is really ineffective every day.
“What are you thinking?” Adam asked in the communication channel.
“I was wondering if I should take another risk.” With a heavy heart, Kai Xin manipulated the port connected to Adam with data.
Taking risks has almost become an instinct in Kai Xin’s body.
There is not a single day when she is not taking risks. Her road ahead is always full of multiple choice questions. After choosing one risky option, there is another one waiting for her. What’s infuriating is that in order to move forward, Kaixin must choose to take risks, and her options are only two kinds: risky and more adventurous.
“Then have you thought it through?” Adam said, “Every time you take an adventure, you have a necessary reason. Is the reason for you to take the risk this time as sufficient and urgent as the previous few times?”
“Well, it’s both sufficient and urgent.” Kai Xin’s mood was a little dull.
Thinking optimistically, Kai Xin has A-level return to zero. If Ye Chan’s ability is still at the A-level stage, then it will be easy for Kai Xin to kill him, and he will not be able to escape.
After acquiring the ability, Kai Xin can use the space vortex to quickly return to Beluga City without having to stay at the branch of Mechanical Dawn.
This battle looks like a quick victory.
Kai Xin must complete the operation process of entering the vortex, killing the night cicada, and opening the vortex to retreat within one minute, otherwise failure awaits her.
However, Kai Xin is always difficult to be optimistic, and there is never a lack of surprises in life.
“Ash.” Kui Xin said in the communication channel thinking, “The time limit is three minutes. If I don’t come back after three minutes, you should quickly withdraw from the polar day zone. During this period, you need to keep in touch with… and the ‘mirror’, the mirror It will give you route guidance and help you evacuate safely.”
“Mirror?” Su Rong repeated the code name, then raised her head and said, “I see.”
Amber’s body is farther away, so there is no problem with her safety. Kai Xin doesn’t need to explain anything, but she still added one more sentence: “If I don’t come back for a long time, you can stay as usual, and I will contact you when I am safe.”
Amber said suspiciously: “Why do you say that? You…”
“This is just a necessary arrangement. My arrangement does not mean that there will be problems with the action.” Kui Xin said, “Just in case.”
Amber swallowed the interrogative sentence in her mouth, and replied, “Understood.”
Kai Xin lowered her head to check the equipment on her body. She was fully armed. The helmet used was the latest anti-riot helmet that was robbed from the Mechanical Dawn last time. The mechanical exoskeleton armor was difficult to wear because there was no auxiliary wearing device, so she did not wear it. But she is wearing a high-strength combat uniform with excellent defense.
The weapons are complete, the blasting devices are complete, the auxiliary equipment is complete, the mechanical arm of the left hand has also been oiled, and the mechanical parts are running smoothly without any problems.
She opened the magazine slot of the mechanical arm and took a look. Three explosive bombs were quietly stuck in the slot. When she raised her left hand, the wrist position automatically cracked and deformed, forming a large-caliber hand cannon.
Kai Xin is a little nervous. Today may be her first time fighting with a robotic arm. She has never practiced before. I hope she won’t make a mistake in her busy schedule and launch the wrong weapon built into the robotic arm…
“Standby.” Kui Xin finally said to Su Rong.
She turned and left, heading straight to the unloading site of Chuangtuo Technology Company.
“You haven’t told me what you want to do.” Adam said.
“Take a shortcut to kill the night cicada, take the road opened up by the enemy, and take a direct space bus.” Kai Xin said in a seemingly casual tone.
Adam immediately understood Kai Xin’s plan, “You have always been so bold…Maybe this is the reason why you were able to succeed.”
“Don’t you wish me a smooth operation this time?” Kai Xin said.
“I’ve already wished you fulfillment before.” Adam said, “But I don’t say too many blessings, and it doesn’t matter if I say it a few times… I wish you success in your actions, Kai Xin.”
If it were Eve, it would definitely mock: “Blessings that are meaningless. Your blessings cannot have the slightest impact on the situation. The development of things does not depend on individual will. The so-called blessings are just nonsense.”
But Adam just likes the ways of human beings, and its actions are also the ways of human beings.
It’s like every time the security guard of the Investigation Department goes out to work, it will also say that the journey is smooth and the mission is smooth.
Ten minutes later, Kai Xin arrived at the unloading site.
This is a large parking lot. Although there are lights, it is a bit dim. There are no cars in it. There are only neatly arranged cargo robots and Mechanical Dawn’s internal staff. The number of staff is relatively small, and they are not a big threat.
Kai Xin entered the shadow shuttle state, waiting patiently in the shadow cast by the light.
She checked her watch before entering the shadow shuttle state, and the current time is 1:49.
In about ten minutes, Ye Chan’s space vortex will open.
When is the right time to enter the space vortex? Do you rush in as soon as the space vortex is opened, or wait until the goods are delivered in the middle of the night, and then rush in after the night cicada is paralyzed by the goods delivered one after another?
After thinking for a while, Kai Xin chose the latter. It would be safer to observe more about the laws of robot transportation.
Time was passing by every minute, and Kai Xin, who was in the shadow shuttle state, couldn’t look at the time, so she counted the seconds silently in her heart.
When she counted to the number six hundred, she stopped, looked at the empty unloading yard and thought, “It’s time to come.”
Sure enough, a deep blue vortex opened in the next second.
The size of the space vortex seems to be larger than Ye Chan’s previous vortex… Kai Xin frowned.
The fully assembled robots at the unloading site silently started, the rollers rotated, and the robots carried the goods in an orderly queue, and entered the space vortex one by one.
As Kai Xin watched this scene, his heart beat more and more violently.
When half of the robot lineup entered the vortex, she suddenly rushed out from her hiding place. Within two seconds, she used the shadow shuttle four times, and rushed forward for a distance of tens of meters. The speed was so fast that only one bunch of phantoms.
The internal staff guarding here didn’t even realize what happened, and didn’t have time to make any expressions. They watched a vague shadow and the cargo robot that was about to enter the vortex pass by and rushed into the blue sky. Inside the door of the space.
The feeling of entering the space vortex is like water waves brushing over the body, passing through an invisible barrier, and the connection port between Kuixin and Adam was forced to disconnect. It seems that Adam cannot be contacted in this mechanical dawn branch.
A bright light appeared in front of Kai Xin’s eyes. The strong light made people feel uncomfortable. She quickly closed her naked eyes, leaving only the mechanical prosthetic eyes to pay attention to the environment. The eyepieces of the all-inclusive helmet also began to adjust the light, allowing Kai Xin’s eyes to adapt to the overly bright environment.
She heard the sound of sudden rapid breathing, and the sound of breathing was on the right!
Kai Xin immediately turned his head, and the ice-blue mechanical prosthetic eye locked on the target – Ye Chan!
The moment Ye Chan saw Kai Xin, Ye Chan wanted to run away.
Just as Kai Xin was about to step forward, the next second, a black hole suddenly drilled out of the metal ceiling of the Mechanical Dawn branch. A violent tongue of flame erupted from the muzzle, and bullets erupted out!
Kai Xin immediately entered the shadow shuttle state and left the original place, and launched “Return to Zero” at the same time!
The invisible realm descended, but something unexpected happened. The space vortex of Night Cicada has not disappeared, and even the robot is still entering the branch of Mechanical Dawn along the vortex.
Kai Xin’s eyelids twitched, and when he looked intently, he found that Ye Chan no longer displayed the name of extraordinary ability!
She used the metal box transported by the robot to cover her body from the machine gun fire, and at the same time stretched her robotic arm forward.
“Whoosh—”
The silver-white claws flew forward connected with the chain, binding the lower limbs of the night cicada that was about to escape.With a solid bump, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Then Kai Xin’s wrist turned into the barrel of a hand cannon, and he fired two shots in a row! Two explosive bombs, double attack! The powerful explosive bomb burst out and split into countless tiny steel balls in mid-air, swishing and scattering. All the steel balls hit Ye Chan’s body, but failed to penetrate the black body armor on his body.
This guy has always been very life-saving. The clothes on his body are all made of the strongest technology of Dawn of Machines, and even such powerful explosive bombs can’t penetrate them.
The explosive bomb didn’t penetrate his defensive coat, but the huge impact it brought was real. This thing can punch concrete walls into holes!
Yechan let out a muffled snort, and the pain hit her body. The space vortex beside her finally couldn’t hold on and collapsed.
The dark blue vortex collapsed, Ye Chan’s face under the anti-riot helmet had a grim expression, he stretched out five fingers towards Kai Xin, another dark blue vortex expanded rapidly, and soon became the size of a basketball, and the vortex opened in Kai Xin feet!
Kai Xin’s feet sank into the vortex uncontrollably, and then her lower body also fell into the vortex. At the critical moment, she pushed her body with one hand like a gymnast, and forcibly pulled her body out of the vortex before the vortex closed and severed her limbs. The space vortex was pulled out.
She pressed the chain recovery button of the hook claw, and with the support of the “iron bone”, pulled the night cicada towards her.
As a result, Yechan firmly grasped the ground with his fingers, and quickly hugged a robot’s leg during the pulling process, no matter how much Kai Xin pulled it, he would not let go.
Driven by Ye Chan’s strong desire to survive, he even dragged the cargo robot carrying heavy cargo to Kai Xin’s side.
Kai Xin took a step forward, and the camera caught her appearing. The machine gun on the ceiling turned its muzzle and fired wildly again. Sparks scattered, and deformed bullets jingled and flew around.
Eve didn’t expect to hit Kai Xin. It wanted to use firepower to suppress Kai Xin’s actions and delay time.
The fighters were coming, and even the cargo robot in the room started to move under Eve’s mobilization. The metal box and the robot moved alternately, making room for Kai Xin to hide.
She freed one hand and fired a few shots at the four corners of the ceiling with fierce firepower. As a result, the glass cover outside the monitor of Mechanical Dawn was actually bulletproof!
“Get in the way!” Kui Xin cursed in his heart, took off an aerosol bomb from his back and threw it out.
At the same time, she noticed that Yechan wanted to open the space vortex again, so she shot a burst bomb without hesitation to interrupt his movement, and the steel ball hit his body, making him grunt and hurt his eyes. Take gold stars.
This kind of thing wouldn’t happen if they wore exoskeleton armor. Unfortunately, Ye Chan didn’t expect this to happen at all. How could the enemy directly rush into the branch of Mechanical Dawn? He was wearing “common clothes”, and at this moment he should be thankful that his normal clothes were also bulletproof, otherwise he would have lost his life in a face-to-face encounter.
The gray-white mist quickly spread, and soon filled the entire room. But this is useless, Eve’s surveillance can directly display thermal images.
Kai Xin rushed towards Ye Chan. In the thermal imaging screen, two orange-red figures were intertwined. It was impossible to tell who was who. Eve was forced to stop shooting, and the machine gun temporarily stopped.
At this moment, the metal door of the freight yard swung open, and dozens of fighters rushed here.
Before the fog cleared, Ye Chan shouted: “I’m here… Ugh!”
Kai Xin slammed his knees at the junction of his chest and abdomen. Her eyes were extremely cold and her strength was extremely heavy. With the blessing of iron bones, she smashed several ribs above Ye Chan’s abdomen with one blow, and the broken bones inserted into the body. Inserted directly into the internal organs of the night cicada.
His eyeballs were protruding, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. The contents of his stomach mixed with blood-red liquid and pieces of internal organs poured out of his mouth, stuffed his helmet, and poured into his nostrils, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The fighters rushed towards the place where the night cicada made its sound without fear of death, but they dared not shoot for fear of hitting the night cicada.
Although she wanted to kill Ye Chan on the spot, Kai Xin rationally stopped the knee attack. She couldn’t stop so many people from shooting at the same time. It may be too late.
Kai Xin opened a space vortex alone, and dragged Ye Chan back in. She didn’t know where the space vortex led, but she just drove it a kilometer away by instinct.
Where to go is not important, what is important is to leave the cargo yard surrounded by fighters.
When the combatants rushed over, they only saw Ye Chan’s legs hanging on the ground, and then those legs were also dragged into the whirlpool… It was like a wild beast catching its prey and dragging it into its bottomless lair.
The vortex closed.
Kai Xin dragged the semi-conscious Ye Chan out of the whirlpool like a dead dog.
The colorful lights dazzled her eyes.
What made her feel bad was that there was a lot of people around.
Looking up, she was actually in a bustling square. The colorful banners above her head changed colors, and the glittering sequins fell from the air and landed on her shoulders. A line of words was displayed on the electronic giant screen: “Carnival! Sleepless all night !”
With the appearance of Kai Xin and Ye Chan, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
The exaggeratedly styled people with oil paint on their faces, happy to celebrate the festival, stared dumbfounded at the two people who appeared suddenly, and retreated unconsciously, and Kai Xin’s side immediately became a “vacuum zone”.
The corners of her eyes twitched, and she lowered her head to look at Ye Chan, fearing that he would slow down and open the space vortex, so she raised her foot and kicked his abdomen hard again.A space vortex was opened on the ground, dragging Ye Chan into it.
You can get rid of him, but you can’t get rid of him in front of so many people.
This time, Kai Xin opened the space vortex on the rooftop of a tall building not far away. There was no one on the rooftop, only the cold night breeze.
Ye Chan’s fingers moved, and a vortex quietly appeared… Kui Xin kicked over again, and then kicked several times fiercely, until Ye Chan’s bones continued to crack and crack.
He started to scream, and in the end he didn’t even have the strength to scream.
His helmet was kicked away by Kai Xin, blood foamed from his mouth and nose, and his eyes began to slacken, but even so, he still said in a teasing tone: “Miss…you are so cruel… …”
“Before you die, don’t be mean.” Kai Xin raised his gun.
Yechan’s eyes slowly lost focus, “I can…do things…for you…”
“Lie.” Kui Xin lowered the muzzle of the gun, aimed at his forehead and pulled the trigger.
“boom!”
At the same time as the blood splattered, the square downstairs of the building burst into enthusiastic cheers.
It seemed that the carnival celebration had reached its climax. People were screaming and applauding. The noisy sound made the night extremely lively, and even the icy night wind seemed not to be so cool.
“Red said the same thing before he died. Do you think I let him go?”
Kai Xin looked at Ye Chan’s corpse and finished the second half of his sentence.
“You killed Night Cicada.”
“You deprived Ye Chan of its extraordinary ability.”
“Your extraordinary ability [Space Vortex] has been upgraded.”
“[Space Vortex·S Class]: You can create a space vortex, and use it to perform ultra-long-distance space jumps.”
Kai Xin didn’t feel the slightest joy in her heart. As usual, she took out the needle tube she had prepared long ago from her back waist, and drew a tube of night cicada’s blood.
Kai Xin wanted to leave, but just turned around and backed away.
She picked up Ye Chan’s helmet that fell on the ground, shook off the dirt on it in disgust, and said to the helmet, “Eve, are you there?”
There was no sound in the helmet.
“It shouldn’t break the communication device, right? I killed your capable subordinate. You are too angry, so you don’t want to talk to me?” There was a mocking smile in Kai Xin’s voice.
“If you want to provoke me, then your purpose has been achieved.” Eve’s mechanical voice appeared, and Kai Xin could hear anger from its cold and undulating voice. Rage like volcanic lava.
“My goal has not been achieved, Eve.” Kai Xin said, “I still have a long way to go, and it will take me a long time to reach my destination.”
Eve said, “What do you want to say?”
“It’s nothing, I just want you to know that without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Kai Xin said, “Without your persecution and death threats, I wouldn’t join forces with Adam, and I wouldn’t think hard about whom to kill. Not to mention that we won’t get to where we are today…I look forward to the day when we will decide the winner.”
After saying the last sentence, Kai Xin’s suppressed emotions were released.
She smiled again, and the joy of victory returned to her heart.
Kai Xin didn’t listen to Eve’s answer. She threw down Ye Chan’s helmet like trash, and looked at the night sky.
In the dark night, a suspended police car was flying in. Perhaps the people who had just attended the carnival called the police after seeing Kui Xin and Ye Chan.
The siren blew, the red and blue warning lights flashed, and the strong searchlights installed on the front of the car shone on Kai Xin. Her helmet reflected light, and her shadow was stretched very long by the searchlights.
The security guard on the suspension vehicle broadcast: “Raise your hands and put down your weapons, otherwise we have the right to shoot you to death!”
Kai Xin casually raised his hands.
The security guards in the car noticed her movements, but they also noticed that her posture didn’t look like a surrender, but a victor.
The moment he saw the police car, the data connection between Kai Xin and Adam was re-established.
“It seems that you got what you wanted.” Adam said softly, “Now you have to go, I can’t stop the security guard from shooting you.”
“Okay.” After saying this, Kui Xin turned around and ran, jumping down from the rooftop.
The wind was howling, she opened her arms, and her body fell, as if she was flying——she had never realized so clearly that she was close to true freedom.
Kai Xin has gained physical freedom. She can go anywhere, and distance is no longer an obstacle. No matter how strong the enemy is, neither can Eve, nor can the rebels.
The body has been freed, so the only thing left is spiritual freedom.
She is as light as a swallow, like a nocturnal bird flying in the air.
Under the shocked and puzzled gaze of the security guards on the suspended police car, her falling body merged into the darkness, like ink droplets disappearing in water.
