Chapter 26 [Scene 10] "Hummingbird" / You might as well advise me...
He Yuezhe dodged sideways to avoid the building blocks thrown by the girl who called herself "Ji Xue".
The building blocks flew past her and landed on the ground, and were instantly shattered into pieces by the artillery fire that hit the ground!
“…”
"Are you here to save me?"
"Mr. Messenger..." The girl's voice returned to its childish state. She stretched out her hand from the protective shield and grabbed He Yuezhe's sleeve.
"...Where's my mother?" The girl's eyes, reflecting the firelight, were so bright that they were blinding. "Sir, have you seen my mother?!"
He Yuezhe took her hand from her sleeve and placed it in his own palm: "Xiaoying."
"What's wrong, sir?" Xiao Ying tilted her head.
"Xiaoying, let me take you to find your mother, okay?" He Yuezhe spoke immediately without hesitation.
There was not much time left, she had to help these people stabilize the large protective shield as soon as possible, and then rush to the central tower!
Before Xiaoying could reply, He Yuezhe had already packed up the building blocks for her, put them in her arms, and pulled her quickly towards the beam of light!
"Sir!" Xiao Ying shouted loudly in the wind, "Sir! My friends! Where are my friends! Aren't they going with us?!"
He Yuezhe did not answer.
There was silence in the wind, only the sound of artillery fire, not even a scream could be heard.
^
"Everyone, don't worry! It's a mess inside right now! Once the chaos is resolved, the shield will be fully opened! Everyone, please don't worry!"
“…”
"Oh, okay." The man in the cloak stood up straight after hearing the response from inside.
"Everyone! Is there anyone here who knows how to use a protective shield? We're short on manpower inside!"
When He Yuezhe and Xiao Yinggang approached the light column, this was the scene they saw.
The ragged man held food that seemed to have just been distributed in his hands, but was very cautious and didn't dare to eat it.
Perhaps because it was the first day of the war, everyone looked very energetic.
"Hey, little girl, don't go in there," a woman's voice rang out beside them. "So many people died in there. It's safe here anyway. For so little... well, it's really not worth it."
He Yuezhe turned his head to look at her. She was a thin woman, and she seemed to be holding something in her arms.
"Sir," Xiao Ying pulled He Yuezhe's hand and asked softly, "Are they also 'people' like me? Are my mother and my friends all here?"
[Ding Dong~ You have triggered the side story: All I have, I give to you.]
[Plot Summary: The war has begun. Everyone in Kangsu decides to work together to build a defense shield that can cover the entire kingdom.]
[You and the plot character Xiaoying come to the center of the structure in search of her mother.]
[You didn't tell Xiaoying about her mother's death. You took Xiaoying's building blocks. You gave Xiaoying a bouquet of wild flowers. You gained Xiaoying's trust.]
[But here, you and Xiao Ying met a strange woman.]
[She advised you not to join the construction team, even though you clearly know that Xiaoying's defense shield is extremely powerful.]
[What's in this strange woman's arms?]
[Which path will you and Xiaoying take?]
[Note: In All My Dedicated to You, the player hardly needs to take any action, so you can just watch the plot without worrying about it.]
"Yeah." He Yuezhe answered Xiaoying's question, then asked her in a low voice, "Xiaoying, do you want to go in and help?"
"Me?" Xiao Ying held the gray building blocks in her arms, her face filled with shock.
But Xiao Ying soon understood what He Yuezhe meant. She nodded firmly: "I want to go! I want to go and protect everyone!!"
"Hey, she's not your child, is she?" The strange woman suddenly spoke in a sinister voice, lowering her head and letting out a strange laugh.
He Yuezhe ignored her and just smiled at her.
“…”
"Forget it. Now that you've come this far, you should be prepared to make a sacrifice."
"Hey, you guys always like to do these things. They clearly owe you something, but in the end you still do all this."
The woman stared at Xiao Ying beside He Yuezhe, and took something out of her arms and handed it to her.
——It’s a cloth bag.
"Take it. You'll need it, 'Wish Granter'."
[Ding Dong~ Xiaoying's ability is finally revealed. It's not just some ordinary protective shield, it's actually the materialization of a wish!]
"Thank you, but this... ah... ah——!"
Xiao Ying accepted it after getting a signal from He Yuezhe. Before he could finish asking the question, the woman used a wave of energy to push him to the entrance at the center of the light column!
[Ding Dong~ Strange woman, please protect Xiaoying.]
"Hello?" The cloaked figure standing at the door stopped talking to the people around him when he saw someone approaching, turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
"Um, I want to go in and help!" Xiao Ying took a few deep breaths, bent down and said loudly to the man in the cloak.
"Hey, hey, hey?!" The cloaked man was so frightened that his hood almost fell off. "Wait, are you from the valley?"
"Yes!" Xiaoying's voice was still loud.
The cloaked man scratched his head, pulled out a thick stack of registration forms from behind his back, and handed it to Xiao Ying.
"Well, if you're sure you want to go in, please register here first."
"Let me be clear first. The energy fluctuations inside are very strong, so there is a possibility of injury, teleportation, and a series of problems caused by the fluctuations."
"If all this is alright..."
"You can do it here, yes, on this page, this page, and this page. Write down your address, name, and guardian. If you have contact information, that's best too."
The cloaked man quickly flipped through a few pages and gestured to Xiaoying to read.
"Also, once you go in, you can't get out. There are plenty of supplies inside, so don't worry."
"Although according to the regulations, you are not allowed to enter."
"But let's keep this as our little secret. Once you go in, don't tell anyone that you're from the valley."
The cloaked man squatted down and looked at Xiao Ying at eye level.
He Yuezhe was surprised to find that except for Xiaoying and the entry above her, the handwriting of everyone else in the registration book was exactly the same, as if it was written in a fixed font on a computer.
——[Name: Qian - Address: Room 1000, Area 01, Kangsu - Guardian: Daqian - Contact Information: xxxxxxxx]
As Xiaoying signed, He Yuezhe saw that right above Xiaoying's registration, every piece of information was named "qian".
"Do you want to accompany her in? It might be dangerous in there." The cloaked man put away the registration book, checked it to make sure it was correct, and asked He Yuezhe who was standing aside.
"Sir." Xiao Ying pulled He Yuezhe's clothes and whispered, "Please leave quickly."
"I'm ready to work hard with everyone. We'll have to wait for you to pick us up later, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain!"
Xiao Ying showed a very sensible smile. She handed the building blocks in her arms to He Yuezhe: "And I'm not afraid of these. You don't need to worry about me, sir."
"By the way, sir, these are the Lego cookies my friend made for me. I haven't eaten them yet. Please help me return them to her."
Xiao Ying waved to He Yuezhe, then turned around and followed the cloaked man beside her into the bronze door.
"Finally, my Lord."
"Good luck."
[Side storyline: All I Have, I Dedicate to You has come to a temporary end. The subsequent storyline will begin in 16 hours.]
He Yuezhe looked at the countdown on his panel again with some surprise.
...16 hours?
How come it’s exactly the same as my own countdown?
"Host, are you really not going to follow her in? Wouldn't that mean we'll lose a large part of the plot?" The system's voice sounded in his mind.
He Yuezhe hasn't spoken since Xiaoying started registering.
At first, she really didn't expect Xiao Ying to ask to go in and help so decisively, and she also asked her to leave quickly.
"Is this plot related to my salvation mission?"
He Yuezhe watched Xiao Ying trot in and turn around to walk out of the city gate.
The column of light where they were just now was actually the entrance to a courtyard.
However, due to the influence of the light column, He Yuezhe could only barely make out that it was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, but could not see the buildings inside clearly.
The courtyard is built in the center of Kangsu District 05.
He Yuezhe learned about it from the system as soon as he entered the city.
The Kangsu 01 area written as "qian" in the registration book was exactly the place He Yuezhe went to first.
Xiaoying's home is not in Area 01, but in Area 1000 to the left of Area 01.
He Yuezhe was organized according to the area number, so although Area 1000 was next to Area 01, she arrived there last.
"Host, it would be good to experience life in this world appropriately." The system said.
"It's a pity that I don't like this world. You might as well suggest that I destroy it." He Yuezhe answered indifferently.
She was inexplicably pulled into this "electronic salvation platform", not only was there nothing... uh...
In short, she will neither have her wishes come true nor receive any rewards for completing these tasks.
One day I will become a [worker], He Yuezhe smiled, if in the end this is just a dream, how ridiculous would that be?
"Host! Stop saying such discouraging words! Cheer up!" The system started dancing in her mind.
^
He Yuezhe walked very fast to save time.
Going through the road we came from, there is a tall tower standing at the junction of Kangsu 1000 District, Kangsu 01 District and the other two countries.
As he got closer, He Yuezhe realized that this was actually not just a tall tower.
Around the tallest tower in the center are hundreds of towers of varying sizes.
However, the area near the towers was peaceful, with no trace of war at all.
[Chat with "Zhi"]
"Are you all right?"
——"Hummingbird"
"It's okay, but I received a new mission and left first. That person should still be waiting for you there."
"Oh, right, here I am..."
——"weaving"
He Yuezhe was standing on a street near the river, which was lined with willow trees with copper coins hanging on them.
The artillery fire didn't reach here at all.
However, it seems that there are not many people living here. There are empty houses on both sides of the street, and there is not even a shop that is open.
Before I finished reading the message, a familiar voice came from my side.
"Are you 'Hummingbird'?" The man was some distance away from him, but his voice came through clearly.
[Mission 2 initial plot introduction: Please cooperate with "Balloon" and assist "Weaving" to complete the infiltration and substitution mission.]
He Yuezhe had no choice but to close the chat box and look in the direction of the voice.
——A girl with a balloon-like head, carrying a bow and arrow on her back, and a golden light was faintly flowing on the dark green bow handle.
She was wearing a dark green cloak of the "evil forces" style, so He Yuezhe couldn't see the girl's face and figure clearly.
It does look familiar, but...
