Chapter 528 Youyou—What is 'spark'?
The man in the suit raised his hand, a faint purple lightning flashing in his palm.
Lu Beiye's sky full of golden threads, Chi Yanzhou's lightning, Wen Qing's bullets...
All attacks silently dissolve upon contact with that seemingly thin layer of purple electric arc.
The man in the suit looked past their futile struggles and landed on Chi Yanzhou.
"You're always the one jumping the most. Now that you've almost completely destroyed my 'toys'..."
He paused for a moment: "Then, you will replace them and become my new 'toys'. Although they are a bit rough, with some repairs... they will be barely acceptable."
Before the words were even finished, a sudden change occurred!
The air beside him twisted very slightly!
A figure appeared out of thin air—it was Lu Nange!
She leaped directly out of the space, appearing and attacking almost simultaneously!
With a silenced pistol in his right hand and a specially made high-explosive crossbow bolt in his left, the muzzle and arrowhead were locked onto the man in the suit's temple and back!
puff!
call out--!
The barely audible gunshots and the sound of crossbow bolts piercing the air almost overlapped!
The man in the suit seemed to have caught the extremely subtle energy fluctuations and the feeling of the air being torn apart.
The head tilted almost imperceptibly to the side and back, while the body rotated to the side at the same time!
Whoosh! The bullet grazed his temple!
*Snap!* Just as the crossbow bolt was about to strike his back clothing, it seemed to hit an invisible iron wall and exploded in mid-air!
At the same time, he raised his left hand and gripped it in mid-air, just like the bullet that had grazed him!
The bullet hovered in mid-air, then he lifted it slightly with his fingertips, and with a "clink," it fell down along with the crossbow fragments.
"Nan Nan"
"sister!"
"Little sister!"
"Miss Lu!"
Below, Lu Beiye, Chi Yanzhou, Wen Qing, and the others, whose hearts were still pounding from the shock of their recent ordeal, cried out in unison, a mixture of joy and worry...
Lu Nange missed her first attack and did not linger in the fight.
As soon as he activated his wind-based ability, he retreated rapidly, creating distance. In the instant he did so, the crossbow bolt in his left hand disappeared, and he swiftly waved his hand—whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several semi-transparent wind blades slashed towards the man in the suit's face, not to kill, but to disrupt his vision and throw off his rhythm!
At the same time, flashes of light appeared repeatedly from the muzzle of the gun in his right hand!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Three more shots!
Between the eyebrows, throat, and chest!
The man in the suit made several extremely short, rapid movements; the wind blades grazed past him, and all the bullets missed their mark...
Only after retreating more than twenty meters away did Lu Nange catch her breath. She turned around and gave a bright, dazzling smile to her companions and family members below who were staring at her with red eyes, and waved.
"Hey, everyone... what are you crying for? You're alive, don't worry, our feast is just around the corner!"
This lighthearted tone instantly dispelled the heavy atmosphere of despair.
Gu Wan chuckled, nodding vigorously, her voice still choked with emotion: "Exactly, our family's mat won't be ready for another hundred or two decades. There's just too much dust in my eyes!"
Luo Xingyou wiped her face and laughed in agreement, "This dust is really choking."
Seeing the light return to her companions' eyes, Lu Nange felt a little more at ease.
But only she knew how dangerous it had been. If she hadn't hidden in the space, she probably wouldn't even be left with ashes.
What intrigued her even more was that in that brief moment in the space, her depleted superpowers recovered at an astonishing speed, even becoming more abundant and refined than at their peak!
I'm in better shape than ever before!
[Could it be 'Youyou'?] She was filled with doubt and surprise, but with a formidable enemy at hand, she had no time to think it through.
Judging by the time, she flashed out of the space and saw her companions attacking the man in the suit. She then combined spatial jump with wind speed to the extreme!
Whoosh!
She vanished on the spot!
Utilize space for short-distance, trajectory-free instantaneous teleportation!
He flashed in and out, achieving the effect of teleportation, and directly appeared behind the man in the suit, ready to strike. Unexpectedly, the man still discovered him, and he dodged!
......
Meanwhile, in a special spatial interlayer that defies common sense and transcends dimensions, a "heated discussion" about Lu Nange is unfolding.
This space was pure white, devoid of any sense of up, down, left, or right; only countless flowing streams of data and faintly visible chains of rules...
A round, plump "sphere": [I need to give my master some items! Now! Immediately! Right now! The top-of-the-line kind!]
Another, more composed but now resigned data stream responded: [No, 'yes'. Chapter 7, Article 3 of the Small World Intervention Guidelines explicitly prohibits it.]
Now it's up to you, the host, to rely on herself. If you go there now, you'll both likely be eliminated by the program set up by 'Black Tyrant'...
Your host has already gone to such lengths; you wouldn't want her efforts to be in vain, would you? Besides, she is now the only viable path to save this small world.
'Youyou': [This is completely unfair!]
The sphere instantly turned an angry orange-red: [The small world is clearly maintained by our 'Blue Star'. Why should my Nan Nan bear the burden of saving the entire small world when a bug occurs?]
You won't even let me provide her with reasonable external support... Your process, your superior system's process, and the main system's process are simply... utterly incoherent! A tyrannical clause! Bullying the honest administrator!
Watch your words, 'yes!' The defection of 'Black King' and the data contamination are top-level accidents.
The core logic of the main system was deduced 970 billion times.
The results show that any direct intervention from our higher dimensions will be instantly captured, analyzed, and countered by the rules set by 'Black King,' causing the intervention to fail.
It could even trigger a larger-scale collapse of the rules...
Only by relying on the 'hope variable' naturally generated within this world, that is, your host, through her own will and the 'spark of civilization' she can gather in this world...
'Youyou': [What is a spark?]
The orange-red color on Youyou's body had faded slightly, and several question mark-shaped data bubbles appeared.
Steady Data Stream: [...]—If 'Black King' hadn't had no data on the new system and couldn't detect it from a distance, we wouldn't have sent you down there!
There's a sense of helplessness, like talking to a brick wall: ['The spark of civilization' can be understood as faith, belief, and the cohesion of collective will.]
These are the only ways to help your host internally cover up and expel the 'Black King' contamination.
'Youyou': [I won't listen! You're just making my Nannan collect faith points through her personal charm.]
To put it bluntly, you're telling her to rely on herself! You just don't want to help!
'Youyou' started darting around erratically in the pure white space again, causing the surrounding data streams to ripple.
Ultimately, it was a calculation error by the main system!
If it hadn't underestimated the corrosive and hidden nature of raw, violent data when building the firewall of rules for this small world, how could that corrupted 'Black Tyrant' have seized the loophole and defected?
And he even let him set the rules in his own little world, creating some kind of zombie evolution chain, causing so much trouble!
If you can't clean up this mess, then I'll have to risk my little Nannan's life to clean it up for you...
[Shh!!!] The steady data stream seemed startled, and the information flow became disordered for a moment.
"Yes, yes!" You can't say that! That's the conclusion of a top-level system incident review! It's not something you or I can just casually discuss!
Beware of being scanned by the 'audit agreement' and locked up!
'Youyou': [Shut it down! I don't care! I'm going to help my master! Look, she was almost struck by that purple lightning and turned to dust!]
The round, glowing sphere simulates a 'tearful' data effect.
[...Don't pretend I didn't see you secretly 'replenishing' her with 'spatial source spiritual energy.' That's an item from another small world. You're violating the rules; you've crossed the line.]
