Chapter 143 Stage Reconstruction

"It's okay, I just dislocated my arm."

Chen Xiao'er was stunned for several seconds, her lips gradually widened, and finally a wail of pain escaped her throat: "Ah—it hurts!"

She just spent a few seconds imagining her senior twisting and dislocating her arm and she felt so painful. How could she really do that?

Even the memory of that crisp "click" sound would make her shudder uncontrollably.

"It doesn't hurt."

Rustle, rustle.

Zero's voice remained calm, his shoulders and arms rubbed against his back, and then an invisible rope loosened and fell to the ground.

Chen Xiao'er moved her arms and found that all the ropes on her shoulders had fallen off. They were tied back to back, and if the senior student pulled her hands away, hers would naturally loosen as well.

Crack, another crisp sound.

"Ah!" She shuddered and turned around hastily. She saw Ling waving his arms innocently, his head tilted slightly. "I'm ready."

Is it so easy to twist your wrist apart and then twist it back together?

Chen Xiao'er wanted to stand up excitedly, but she forgot that her legs were still tied, and her feet slipped and fell to the side.

BANG! I hit my head—it hurts!

"Woo..." Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Chen Xiao'er curled up in pain, rolling like a cat cricket pupa, and finally shook off the remaining rope and collapsed to the ground.

Before her little head fell, a pair of hands reached out and softly cushioned her cheeks.

Ling cupped Xiao'er's face and chin, gently resting them on her knees. Her icy blue eyes flickered, as if examining the tears on the girl's face.

“…What’s wrong?” Chen Xiao’er blushed and raised her fingers to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Ling slowly bent down and put their foreheads against each other.

There was a hint of tenderness in her calm voice: "That's great."

"Um?"

"It's great that you're here."

Click, click, click.

A crackling sound like ice was heard in the space, and Zero's vision was synchronized with that of the monitoring center, and they saw another "reality".

This space was originally pure black, and only after Xiao'ai woke up did some entities appear. These entities were unstable and would only appear when Xiao'ai "saw" or "touched" them.

But now a powerful wave swept over, blowing across her cheek like a whirlwind, flying around, and "dig" out a basement in the confined space.

As the basement walls were completely rebuilt, Zero's communications with the other Angels and the monitoring center returned to normal. He returned to the human world from a place without signal.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Her companions transmitted memories from different time periods to help her construct a rough timeline of the room's creation.

When Chen Xiao'er woke up, the first thing that appeared was light and ropes. Then Chen Xiao'er opened her eyes and saw walls, tables and chairs standing up.

Now Chen Xiao'er looked up at the ceiling, and the light became stable under her gaze.

Zero's irises flashed across the scattered information from the monitoring center. Some people were discussing whether Chen Xiao'er could become a favored one of light, spread the "gospel" of God, and let the light spread throughout the world.

However, this idea was too arrogant and was unsurprisingly refuted.

Sizzle.

Some pieces of information lingered in her eyes longer, until they condensed into light blue droplets and silently seeped into the pool of memory.

[Her controllability is poor, and her abilities are too subjective. However, Zero and Radiance have a great compatibility... maybe they can be made into a very powerful relic.]

[The intensity of the reset seems to be related to emotions. Can she detach from them like the apostles? Or perhaps use drugs to boost her energy?]

I suggest that after this is over, we conduct a destructive test on Chen Xiao'er to verify her loyalty to humanity. Losing an arm or a leg shouldn't affect her abilities.

…

"zero?"

"Xiao'e." Hearing the worried voice, Ling immediately dispelled the message in his eyes and looked intently at the girl in his arms.

Chen Xiao'er breathed a sigh of relief: That's great, it seems that the senior sister's head is not injured.

She could hardly remember what had just happened. She only remembered that someone hit her head hard and she was tied up here when she woke up.

"How can we escape?"

She leaned on Zero's shoulder and looked around. This was obviously a closed basement. The door and windows were sealed with iron bars, leaving only a row of small vents.

Ling's eyes followed Xiao'er's line of sight, and the doors and windows that had not existed gradually appeared, and even a row of neat vents appeared on the ceiling.

[Mi Luo: You can refer to the method used by the student next door to break the impasse. The stability of this space has been destroyed by Chen Xiao'er, and the upper and lower dimensions are very fragile.]

Ling raised his head and looked at the vent, then slightly bent his long legs and jumped on the spot with his toes.

She grabbed the metal fence with a whoosh and pulled hard - click, and the entire metal frame was lifted up like a yogurt lid!

"Wow~" Chen Xiao'er opened her eyes wide and watched the screws fall to the ground one by one.

The senior sister is so strong, even stronger than that guy Xinnaya.

"?" Ling moved his fingers, feeling as if he had gained a lot of strength in that instant. This strength surged into his muscles and then quickly dissipated.

[Milo: Tell Xiao'e that the space inside is bigger than she imagined, and you can all crawl through.]

Zero threw away the metal frame and pointed at the vent and said, "It's actually quite spacious in there. We can climb out from the top."

Chen Xiao'er looked in the direction of her finger and shook her head vigorously: "No, no, it might get stuck!"

That's just a vent. Even if the pipe inside is thick, the opening can only accommodate a small child. My senior and I are both adults, there's no way we could climb in. If we get our heads stuck halfway up, we'll be doomed.

But what if I don't go through the vent? If this were a movie, there would always be a guard outside the door...

Chen Xiao'er's gaze drifted past the iron bars, then whizzed back again: There really is someone standing at the window! He seems a little familiar, it's the big brother from the script-killing show! What's his name?

She thought about it but couldn't remember anything, so she quietly walked over and patted the window: "Brother Wu? Brother Wu who is playing the script-killing game? Please help, can you let us out?"

"..." Xu Pei certainly wouldn't forget her voice. She was speechless. One of us is human, the other is abnormal. I'm also being controlled by the Overlord as a security guard.

Can't you just sneak attack me?

Just as he was about to laugh at the naivety of mankind, he saw that the golden ruling lines on his body were fading. This was... a sign of power deviation.

So that's how it is. Maybe humans have no future, but you may not.

There are still many things you can do.

Human, I understand what you mean. Are you recruiting me? Showing me a brand new path, one no other anomaly has taken.

A humane sneer appeared on his face: Okay, then I,

Bang!

The iron rod hit the back of his head hard, and Xu Pei fell down without a sound. Before he fell, he heard the girl's scream.

"zero--"

What?

…

Chen Xiao'er was screaming in the upper left corner of the screen, and the battle in the lower right corner of the screen was becoming increasingly intense.

The monitoring center kept sending the latest tactical instructions. Xing Shuyao, who was protected in the middle, looked at the communicator while loudly commanding the tactics of the captains and team members.

…

"Zheng Xiuli, blast to the left!" He roared with red eyes and coughed up a few drops of blood.

The surrounding Pasteur values rose too high, so high that the Pasteur meter stopped reporting as if it had died. The field of vision turned gray, and occasionally turned black.

I'm almost over my limit... Is there any way, any way to turn this around?

I can't think of it.

Then think about it quickly!

When Xing Shuyao's supernatural powers dried up and he had a splitting headache, Lin Lang's situation was not much better.

"Haha!" She roared and squeezed the supernatural power between her muscles, slapping the giant worm with one claw, causing ripples on the soft surface of the worm's body.

Puff—a large pool of mucus splashed out. Lin Lang grabbed the silk thread thrown by Zheng Lu and swung back suddenly.

Damn it, if only Qian Xiaomei were still here.

She glanced at her companions behind her. Over a dozen had been lost in the past twenty minutes, with someone eliminated almost every minute. The fewer people there were, the more disadvantaged the situation became. Besides, my stamina and abilities were drastically decreasing. I wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.

There is no special rule for the giant worm monster in front of you. It just uses force to overcome cleverness. Every time it rolls up its body, it will bring a huge threat.

We must concentrate our efforts and kill quickly.

Lin Lang took a deep breath, knowing that the captains probably thought the same as he did and were waiting for a better opportunity to attack.

She floated over the crowd holding a silk thread, and jumped onto the top of the chandelier, making the crystal rustle under her feet.

"Heh." A chuckle came from not far away. Lin Lang raised his eyes and met Xinnaya's gaze.

The malice in the devil's eyes was bright and vivid, and it was obviously waiting for the moment for humans to attack.

[The moment you see hope, I will completely crush your efforts.]

Hmm, should I ignore it? After all, there's nothing much to talk about between humans and demons.

Lin Lang was about to swing down to join his companions in the next round of attack, but suddenly he gritted his teeth: No, if it is to survive, we should not give up any attempt.

I can see what she's doing, I can't just sit there and do nothing. Besides—Xiao'e has defeated this guy more than once.

Hmm? The sweet feeling of fear disappeared.

Xinnaya's eyes shifted slightly; she could detect even the most subtle changes in human emotion. Although these humans were scum, they were also the scum around Chen Xiao'er, always attracting her attention.

The devil's gaze was as real as a substance, and all the pores on Lin Lang's body contracted.

She threw away the silk thread in her right hand under immense pressure and extended her palm to the devil: "Would you like to join us in defeating the monster?"

Huh? Are you stupid?

Xinaya laughed wildly, her sharp teeth flashing a cold light. "Hahahahaha, together? I need to be with you guys? Hahahaha."

Just as she was about to stand up and kill a few people to liven up the atmosphere, Lin Lang said calmly, "You want power too, right?"

"Oh?" Xinnaya became interested. "You want to betray humanity and get Chen Xiao'er to give me power?"

That was quite good. Although she didn't mind the addition of such scum, this guy seemed to be Chen Xiao'er's henchman. As long as he could hurt Chen Xiao'er, a little face was nothing.

Whoosh——

The worm monster flipped over and tried to throw the enemy down, but the devil stepped on it the next second and stomped off a large ball of flesh and blood.

Boom boom boom!

Lin Lang extended his claws, and while shaking violently, he looked at the devil and said seriously, "I don't have the final say on the ownership of power, but before the Anomaly-Dominant dies, our interests are the same. Even for you, killing this giant monster would be very costly, and then you would face the Overlord..."

"etc."

Xinnaya interrupted her unhappily and grinned: "What did you say?"

"Even if you want to kill this giant monster..."

Puff—a large pool of blood splashed onto Lin Lang's face.
