Chapter 79: Scene 37: Then I wish you a long journey to hell...
"Please help me activate the skill prerequisite for "Infinite Health".
"Host," the system said worriedly, "Why are you suddenly activating your skill? There doesn't seem to be any danger right now, and your stored energy is still sufficient, right?"
"I want to absorb life force."
He Yuezhe stood behind Wuming, looked at her and talked with Yanzhu, and spoke slowly.
"Host, I've told you before, right? The skill pre-conditioning can only be activated three times in this world."
"Yue Ling's body automatically opened once before when it ran out of energy. If I use it again now, it will be very difficult to deal with any future situations."
"Do you think I'm going to die here?"
"No, no, I'm just reminding you. This is what our system is supposed to do."
"Then just be good and open it."
"Okay, okay."
In He Yuezhe's eyes, within a rich, colorful halo, a stack of roller coaster tickets was floating and spinning continuously.
She said that on purpose to lure Wuming over, just to take advantage of the time Wuming was talking to Yanzhu to try and get the stack of tickets directly.
But it was very strange, perhaps because the energy contained in the colorful halo was too strong, the sticky and foul-smelling substance wrapped around her outstretched hand, making it impossible for her to go any further in.
He Yuezhe had no choice but to take a few steps back and take his hand back.
In fact, she was not such an aggressive person, but the suction from her hand made her dazed and she reached out.
"Nothing?" He Yuezhe was secretly shocked. "But, is this because of the skill prerequisite?"
"Partly."
"Yue Ling, Yue Ling, Yue Ling?"
Seeing that the system didn't want to talk anymore, He Yuezhe had no choice but to turn and ask Yue Ling who had not appeared for a long time.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Yue Ling, Yue Ling, you can also see that colorful ball, right? Why is your hand being sucked in?"
"This is confidential, it's best if you don't know."
"Ahh, 'Those who know more are more likely to die', I really don't like that kind of plot."
"It seems that your...helper is not very capable." Yue Ling's voice was weak.
"Alright, to put it simply, there's a substance within that mass that can 'embed' with this body."
"As you know, my body has been largely modified, and of course, some special substances were used."
"As for 'embedded', it's a special term."
"When two special substances of the same origin appear in the same space at the same time and are less than one meter apart, they will produce an 'embedded' reaction."
"Because I've been implanted with a 'cradle agent,' which is the kind you've seen before... um, 'sleeping pills.'"
"And within that mass, there's a high probability that some natural, wild 'cradle'-type substance also exists."
"So the moment you get close to it, the 'interlocking' reaction occurs."
"Can you understand that?"
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
The skill prerequisite for infinite health is finally unlocked!
The majestic colorful energy turned into thin filaments and gradually penetrated into the body of the tall robot!
The cocoon-like thing quickly became thinner at this moment, and then slowly revealed a wrinkled stack of tickets inside!
And at the moment when the energy was absorbed, tentacles covered with rotten yellow nails suddenly grew out from the ticket window!
They separated He Yuezhe and his eyeballs, then turned into mud and water and fell to the ground!
"Okay." He Yuezhe reached out and pinched the stack of tickets that had been washed by mud and water, and said to Wuming.
"Look, isn't this the ticket?"
^
Back to the present.
Because the energy was of varying quality, He Yuezhe entered a short recovery period before she could fully digest it. She fell to the ground exhausted.
Wuming, who was observing the crowd at the side, was so scared that he jumped several times.
"I, I..." He Yuezhe heard footsteps getting closer and closer. She raised her head and wanted Wuming to take her away, but her throat was suddenly choked.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Wuming asked in surprise.
He Yuezhe nodded and said seriously, "I haven't had any water for a long time. I'm a little dehydrated."
"Huh? Robots don't need water, right?"
"I am special. I am a human-machine."
"Human-machine? Okay, okay, then where do you want me to take you?"
"Go home...ahem, go home."
He Yuezhe could no longer see anything, she only felt that her body seemed to be lifted up.
“Got it, got it—!”
A nameless voice came: "I didn't expect you to be so strong and yet so fragile."
"Could it be that he was frightened? Can fright cause weakness?..."
"Or is it..."
Amid Wuming's constant muttering, He Yuezhe finally fell asleep leaning on her prickly shoulder.
^
"Are you done over there?" Qian Bao stopped removing the plastic film and asked.
Lin Jining, who had just returned to the agreed meeting point for the three of them, nodded and replied, "Well, my task target seems to understand the process very well. He handled it on his own without me saying anything."
"Your father, Xiaolin, please stop talking so sarcasticly here. It's very annoying."
"Hey, is he your friend?" Qian Bao's mission target raised his head, looked at him and asked.
Qian Bao nodded, then shook his head violently and continued to help him remove the plastic film from his body.
"No, I'm just a colleague," Qian Bao said quickly, "at most, a classmate."
"Can you please let him stay away from us? He smells terrible."
"Smells bad?"
The leopard sniffed carefully.
A foul smell mixed with stale blood, cigarettes and alcohol rushed into his nostrils, which were originally filled with the smell of burnt plastic.
"It does smell bad. Be more aware of yourself and go outside." Qian Bao raised his chin towards Lin Jining, motioning him to go out.
"Qian Bao..." Lin Jining said aggrievedly, "Don't you care about me?"
"The organization calculated that the probability of something happening was only about 2%, and you encountered it. Damn it, how else do you expect me to care about you?" Qian Bao sneered.
"Okay, then you guys continue, I won't bother you anymore."
“…Um, I’m sorry.”
^
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby."
"I will celebrate for you, I will bless you."
"Sleep, sleep, my dear—"
"Hmm...?" He Yuezhe woke up from his sleep and heard Wuming singing. "Are you singing... 'Lullaby'?"
"You know this song?!" Wuming's body trembled.
Only then did He Yuezhe realize that Wuming was carrying her, who was much taller than her, on his back, walking along the road they came from.
"Why don't you put me down first." He Yuezhe suggested.
Wuming shook her head like a little rattle, and her already messy braids were now even more tangled.
"I'm happy to carry you on my back," Wuming said, "but please don't be ungrateful."
"All right."
"By the way, how did you know the name of the song I just sang?"
In the previous world, He Yuezhe was almost brainwashed by this song, how could he not remember it?
"Someone, ahem, someone sang it to me."
"Qian Die?"
"Um."
"Humph, she's quite bold. She took the confidential documents I gave her and told them to a small fry like you who just joined the organization."
The "confidential documents" that Wuming gave to Qian Die?
"Confidential documents, are they real or fake?"
"Host, if I remember correctly, this song is indeed the one that appeared in the previous world, right?"
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be something I, as the protagonist, use to question your system?"
"Host, what are you saying?! I'm not a villain, how can I use the word 'question'?!"
"oh."
"The same thing."
"I'm too lazy to say it a second time, just keep it to yourself." Wuming said, "Also, I'm singing this for you, you're not allowed to tell anyone else."
"I will, I will keep my mouth shut!" He Yuezhe nodded.
Wuming was silent for a few seconds, then spoke again: "Don't you want to know the purpose of "Lullaby"?"
"--In no mood."
Isn't it just for calming the mind? He Yuezhe sighed.
——Just like the flower of Grandma Chen.
So, how much has Wuming hidden from me?
She is so looking forward to it.
^
"Wake up, we're home."
“…”
"Hey, hurry up, or I'll throw you down!"
“…”
"He Yuezhe!!"
"I'm awake."
"Then why are you still hanging on my back?!"
He Yuezhe had no choice but to slide down softly, leaning against the wall next to the door, and said, "Because my legs are still weak."
"……oh."
"Why don't you open the door?" He Yuezhe looked at Wuming's constantly changing expression, and then he stood still, so he had no choice but to ask.
Wuming glanced at her, bit his lip, and said, "Can't you just stop looking at me first?"
"Why?" He Yuezhe asked puzzledly.
"This is my home password, do you still want to see it?!"
"Isn't this Chen Shu's home?" He Yuezhe retorted, "Besides, I wouldn't break into houses, so what are you afraid of?"
"you……!!"
"Forget it, this door is opened by a key!"
"But, I need to get my things, turn around quickly!!"
Wuming took a few steps forward and turned He Yuezhe over like a mollusk.
If He Yuezhe hadn't been so exhausted, she would have definitely taken a peek.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
After He Yuezhe fell back, the doorbell rang.
There was a sound of objects rubbing against each other, and then something seemed to be picked up, and there was another sound of objects rubbing against each other, and finally, a "click" sound was heard, and the objects rubbed against each other again, and everything returned to calm.
Gift box?
Wuming might never have thought that He Yuezhe possessed a pair of eyes that could see energy fluctuations.
Although he was facing away, as long as he closed his eyes and immersed himself in the air, the energy fluctuations within ten meters around him were no problem for He Yuezhe.
"Host, can you see it?!" The system was a little incredulous.
"Why not?" He Yuezhe felt something was amiss. "It's not difficult."
"Hey, I'm done, you can turn around now." Wuming patted He Yuezhe's middle leg and said.
"Wuming," He Yuezhe asked, "Did I drop something here when I died last time?"
"...thing?" Wuming helped her turn around and showed her his hand. "You mean this—"
A cylindrical object lay there quietly, but it almost fell to the ground because of the reckless behavior of the person who came.
"Hello, is this Chen Shu?"
The man was thin, wearing a somewhat loose uniform, and his hat was crooked on his head.
"Who are you?" Wuming took a few steps back cautiously and stood in front of He Yuezhe.
"My name is Lin Jining, and I'm an expatriate employee of the 'Anti-Robot-Human Interaction' organization."
Lin Jining lifted his hat, revealing his innocent-looking face underneath.
"This time, I'm here to ask if you're willing to remove the plastic film."
"Lin Jining...it's you!" Wuming said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, would you like to take it off?" Lin Jining asked with a smile, wearing the familiar pair of non-slip gloves and holding a cowhide notebook.
Wuming asked back: "...was this Shiban's idea?"
"Shiban, you mean the second-in-command of the organization? Yes, this was mostly her idea."
"So you're here to... kill me." Wuming sneered twice, "This was also Shiban's idea, right?!"
"You are indeed very clever."
"What's the point of being smart! She swore to protect me forever, but in the end, didn't she still want to get rid of me, an outsider!?"
"No, Tokiban-sama is also helping others. You can rest assured that she has absolutely no intention of killing you."
"Host! Isn't this wonderful!?"
"Now that they've killed our target, our mission objective of 'Accompany Chen Shu until death' has been completed! We can immediately proceed to the next world—"
"Bang——"
The sound of breaking wind!
"Then I wish you a safe journey in hell."
Lin Jining stepped back to the left.
A flying arrow flew straight towards Wuming's face!
"Wait, why is it so sudden?!"
The arrow finally pierced her chest, and a sickening stench of decay filled the air.
She fell to the black stone floor, her blood merging with the ground.
"Wuming..." He Yuezhe opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to grab something.
“Tick-tock.”
"He! Xiao, Pomegranate!!"
Wuming rushed over, grabbed He Yuezhe who had already fallen to the ground, and shouted: "Don't sleep, didn't you just wake up?!"
"Well," He Yuezhe shook her head with difficulty, her eyes fixed on Lin Jining, "Do you... now... consider me... your friend...?"
"Tick. Tick."
“Of course, of course!”
Liar.
"Are you out of your mind? Why are you blocking the arrow for me? Mingming, Mingming!!!"
"Host, it's clearly succeeded!!"
"How stupid! I still haven't taken anything away."
"I, I still want to... spend more time with you... okay... yeah...?"
He Yuezhe stroked Wuming's cheek and helped her tuck her hair behind her ears.
"I'm sorry, Yue Ling."
"Tick. Tick. Tick."
"I'm sorry... This is... isn't it... very, very cruel..."
"I have to thank you. I've lived for thousands of years and finally found freedom. This is a great thing. If I had met you earlier, maybe I would have treated you to hot pot."
"……good."
"Nice to meet you..." He Yuezhe signed, "Is that right...? Little Twenty..."
"Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick."
“No, no!!”
"Don't die, I'll teach you again. I know a lot, I'm very smart, I can definitely teach you!!!"
"Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick."
“You died… so tragically… ah… I… saw… it…!”
"Tick. Tick. Tick."
"So, ha... I was thinking..."
"Tick. Tick."
"Save you... for the last time..."
“Tick-tock.”
"...Hummingbird," Ershi's tears dripped from her bright, shining eyes, dripping onto He Yuezhe's face, dripping into the blood. She asked, "Is it really you?"
“Hmm…! It’s me… It’s me… Twenty…”
"Really... it's... me... oh..."
