Chapter 146 Chapter 146 "You caught me." ...
146
"The anchor point location has been displayed and updated in the 'Infinite City Real-time Map' tool. Please check it promptly."
"Completed the Anchor Point pre-quest, 'Favorability Gaining Strategy'. Received 400 gold coins, 1 Anchor Point Guidance Device, and 1 Obliteration Potion."
"Elimination Potion, Instructions: Destroys all creatures the host desires, excluding any important individuals or objects created by the rules of the world that sustain its existence."
Administrator June's words were playing in his mind. Li Xiaoqi opened his lips slightly, but as soon as he thought of speaking, blood began to flow out of his mouth.
Fortunately, she is a ghost now.
Even if she didn't die, the pain of being pierced by several sharp spikes would remain in her body, and her nerves would continue to transmit the pain to her.
"Warning, warning! Please protect the last crop, three anchors, otherwise the mission will fail and the face will be wiped out."
When the alarm sounded, Li Xiaoqi felt dizzy and had no mind to pay attention to what prompts the system issued.
Silence filled the space, and the originally black space was divided into two halves. The upper half was the chaotic scenery of Infinite City, and the lower half was a darkness like the abyss.
Li Xiaoqi felt a tinnitus in her ears and closed her eyes in pain. The moisture on her face kept reminding her to stay conscious.
The wounds that pierced her body continued to burn, and she could even feel the cells in her wounds constantly moving, but they were blocked by the sharp thorns, so her wounds could not heal in time.
Someone's breathing quickened, and suddenly the sound became chaotic.
It seemed like someone was calling her.
When Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes, he saw a rare scene.
The energy absorbed by the virus to Muzan Kibutsuji was returned, and his gray hair turned black again.
His hair fluttered, and several pipe whips grew out of his back, wrapping around the spikes of the tumor and breaking it.
Douma waved the fan with an elegant and calm posture. Snowflakes fell from the sky. An iron fan appeared in his left hand. Two fans flew out of his hand, circling and dancing, and passed through countless sharp thorns.
Frost spread over the spikes, freezing them in the blink of an eye.
The knife flashed, and Kokushibo shuttled through the jungle of spikes, chopping off the spikes that pierced Li Xiaoqi's movements.
Crescent-shaped sword energy flew everywhere, cutting off the dark red runes like lymph nodes on top of the tumor that carried its weight.
There was a vibration in the space and the tumor fell down.
Miraculously, it fell right in front of Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki and did not fall any further.
Countless gleaming pieces of ice fell like rain, brushing against Li Xiaoqi's cheeks.
Without the restraint of the spikes, Li Xiaoqi's body fell down.
Dazai Osamu stepped forward quickly and caught Li Xiaoqi before Muzan Kibutsuji.
Li Xiaoqi was lifted up by Dazai Osamu and held in his arms.
She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was the wide eyes on Elizabeth's leather case.
“…”
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes slightly, and the pain and annoyance in his heart disappeared under the gaze of such eyes.
She pouted, grabbing Elizabeth's holster unexpectedly, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"You caught me."
"Thanks."
Under the leather suit, Dazai Osamu looked at Li Xiaoqi's blood-stained smile and gradually tightened the strength in his hands.
Under the influence of this leather case, he could not speak and could only hold up the wooden sign to express what he wanted to say.
He remained silent and gently pressed Li Xiaoqi's shoulders regularly.
Li Xiaoqi felt the strength on his shoulders and widened the smile on his lips.
"Don't worry, I'm a ghost now."
"I won't die."
Dazai Osamu was stunned and suddenly felt scared when he heard these words.
He took a deep breath, slowly put Li Xiaoqi down, and patted her head.
After being freed from the sharp thorns, the wounds on Li Xiaoqi's body began to heal.
Li Xiaoqi suddenly remembered the administrator Liuyue's reminder and looked quickly at the houses that had fallen into this space.
The roof was broken, and the severed spikes were still deeply embedded in the house, almost splitting it into pieces.
"If Miss Nana hadn't stopped it, this room would have been shattered long ago."
Akaza said coldly.
Li Xiaoqi was stunned and confused.
The system manipulated her body to block the attack, which not only facilitated the completion of the strategy mission, but also saved the remaining crops... This action killed two birds with one stone, and it was a great harvest for them.
So, is the system saving them?
But if the purpose was to save the three of them, then why was the antivirus tool given at the beginning ineffective and instead encouraged the growth of the spreading virus?
For a moment, Li Xiaoqi couldn't understand the purpose and practice of the system.
She looked at Dazai Osamu with a puzzled look.
Dazai Osamu shook his head slightly, and the wooden sign suddenly appeared in his hand.
【Profits come first.】
Li Xiaoqi stared at the four words on the wooden sign, his eyes becoming even more puzzled.
Benefits...Will it be beneficial to the system to aggravate the situation?
Because they can complete the task faster?
Just as she was stunned, Sakata Gintoki's shout rang out.
"Ahhh, wait!"
Sakata Gintoki suddenly rushed over, holding a few skewers of wild mushrooms and chicken in his hand, and stuffed them into Li Xiaoqi's mouth without saying a word.
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide and was constantly fed by Sakata Gintoki, his cheeks puffed up like a hamster.
Spots of healing light began to appear on his body, and the wounds quickly disappeared.
When Douma saw this, a "Wow" echoed in the space.
"Not only can it create food out of thin air, but this food also has healing properties. It's another rare treasure."
Muzan Kibutsuji didn't pay attention to what Douma said, nor did he care about the food that Sakata Gintoki conjured up. His eyes were fixed on Li Xiaoqi.
He was only one step away from Dazai Osamu, and his hesitation just now made him lose the opportunity to catch her.
Muzan Kibutsuji didn't know why he hesitated, as he could just take away the things he liked.
But at that moment just now, Muzan Kibutsuji looked at Li Xiaoqi's painful expression and was actually afraid that the whip that grew on his body would hurt her and aggravate her injuries. It was obvious that she had the same regenerative physique as him and would not die.
It's really unlike myself.
Muzan Kibutsuji pursed his lips, feeling both disgusted and unable to let go of this emotion.
Kokushibo lowered his eyes, held his sword and looked quietly at Muzan Kibutsuji, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Douma raised the corners of his lips, revealing an interested look.
"Hey, Mr. Akaza, I told you, Miss Nana is very charming."
He raised the fan to his lips to cover his lip movements.
"How should I put it? Someone is actually willing to protect us... no, they have the ability to protect us. Experiencing what it feels like to be protected is truly heart-wrenching."
Douma looked at Li Xiaoqi with a gentle expression.
Akaza frowned slightly and sneered at Douma's words.
He showed a puzzled look and stared at Li Xiaoqi's face in a daze.
Akaza always felt that he seemed to have seen her somewhere, but no matter how hard he searched his memory, he could not find a similar figure.
Suddenly, his head ached. He raised his hand to cover his forehead, and a strange picture flashed through his mind.
The image that appeared in my mind was that of Lady Muzan wearing a pink miniskirt and being kicked around like a ball.
In an instant, cold sweat appeared on Inosuke's forehead and he dared not even breathe.
His face was stiff and he turned his neck to look at Muzan Kibutsuji.
Muzan Kibutsuji didn't seem to see the scene in his mind at the moment. There was no anger on his face, but rather a hint of disappointment...
Akaza followed Muzan Kibutsuji's gaze and looked at Li Xiaoqi.
Eh?
Akaza opened his eyes wide, seemed to realize something, and took a step back suddenly.
"...Ah, Akaza-dono, have you come up with something? You have this improbable look on your face. How interesting."
Douma chuckled and waved his fan.
Akaza: “…”
He didn't want to talk and gave Douma a cold look.
Douma, who is often ignored by his companions, just shrugged slightly and spread his hands with a helpless look.
Sakata Gintoki stared at the item description on the virtual screen, took out the annihilation potion without saying a word, and poured it onto Lake Toya.
In an instant, Lake Toya began to emit a pink and purple light.
Sakata Gintoki opened his eyes wide, holding up Lake Toya in disbelief: "Is this the laser sword that countless boys dream of?!"
After saying that, his eyes flashed, and he rushed to the tumor holding Lake Toya.
Sakata Gintoki jumped high, lifted Lake Toya above his head, and finally chopped it down hard.
The tumor was split in half, and strong white light spurted out from it.
Li Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes and complained, "What kind of stone monkey is this?"
As soon as the words fell, the white light disappeared.
The tumor turned into a point of light and disappeared, and the shadow of a white lop-eared rabbit appeared.
The corners of the lop-eared rabbit's lips curved upwards, revealing a smile like a doll.
Suddenly, Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki half-knelt on the ground at the same time, and a wisp of white smoke emanated from their bodies.
The white smoke floated in the air, forming the shape of a tiger with its mouth open.
Suddenly, the tiger-shaped white smoke suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the white lop-eared rabbit.
The white lop-eared rabbit had a stiff smile and a look of fear.
The next second, it was swallowed by white smoke.
At this moment, the prompt sound rang again in Li Xiaoqi's mind.
"Aggressive spreading virus A188 core detected, recovery initiated."
"The invasive spreading virus A188 has been absorbed and converted into the energy required for this system to operate. System upgrades have begun."
"The system upgrade will take 48 hours. Please successfully activate the anchor point within 48 hours. Otherwise, it will be considered a mission failure and will be punished by being eliminated."
"To facilitate the completion of tasks by anchors, all functions will remain normal during the system upgrade."
Oh no.
It turns out that the system is waiting for you here.
Li Xiaoqi twitched the corners of his mouth, understanding the system's puzzling behavior.
The so-called antivirus tools are actually catalysts for the growth of viruses. After the viruses grow, they are given props to help them destroy the external protective wall. After their core is exposed, it is swallowed up by the system and becomes nutrients for its upgrade.
"Profligate businessman."
Li Xiaoqi smacked his lips.
Suddenly, Dazai Osamu gave a thumbs up and approved of Li Xiaoqi's words.
Sakata Gintoki took back Lake Toya and smacked it impatiently like Li Xiaoqi.
The space continued to collapse, and Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu, Sakata Gintoki, and Muzan Kibutsuji were bounced out by the collapsing space.

The author has something to say: At the end of the previous chapter, Lake Toya was turned into the Sun Blade, which has been changed.
