The skills of those in power... can they really be gotten rid of by human self-will?
Su Mingan looked at Noah's clear pupils, as if he saw a ray of sunlight falling into the ruins.
"boom--!"
The next moment, the steel door fell in front of Su Mingan. Noah completely sealed the room, cutting off his own escape route and ensuring that the rest of the invasion progress would not be disturbed.
Su Mingan no longer hesitated and immediately moved away from the corridor. A second later, the place where he was standing was surrounded by the mechanical army that rushed in. They were banging on the iron door frantically and crowded outside the door like zombies besieging a city.
“Patta, patta—”
His footsteps waded through the rain, like running in a sticky swamp. The rain poured in through the broken glass, and his blood mixed with the rain. Every breath of air Su Mingan took was mixed with a strong smell of rust.
Through the height of this floor, level with the big screen of the tall building in the distance, he could see the image of Asa Akto's gentle smile, and it seemed as if it was also watching - the yellow light and shadow like fireflies flowed in the streets, and the soldiers fought desperately under the command of Captain Mu and Xiaobi.
“…”
Noah’s smile was still in Su Mingan’s mind.
A brilliant, sunflower-like smile - is this smile really born from breaking through the system's limitations? Or is it the legacy of the power holder's skills?
He subconsciously believed that everything about Noah was done by the system. He was unwilling to believe in his own possibilities, and it was hard for him to believe that someone would love him like that. Because the game system would not lie, but humans had too many repetitive faces - saying they loved you now, but hoping you would die in a few years, and this was everywhere in the Ninth World.
——Even if everyone is shouting desperately, you deserve to be loved, almost until they are hoarse.
Tretia kept whispering "I love you", Xiaobi said you are indispensable, Noah said you are worth it, but people who have never been loved will be afraid of love for the rest of their lives once they have experienced betrayal. He still remembers the heavy rain after the bonfire that night, and he heard people talking about pushing him off the edge of the world.
So he has been subconsciously avoiding "love", which is an instinctive avoidance of "hurt". But Noah's brilliant smile seemed to remind him——
Is his perception of other people's liking for him also trapped by the skill setting?
“Hua La La—”
The rain was getting hazier.
A transparent silk thread flashed at the edge of the building, and when Su Mingan reached the end of the corridor, several long metal strips were transported in front of Su Mingan by the silk thread.
——This is a pair of metal wings.
Transformed from steel, it has an angular mechanical texture. The metal corners are like bird skeletons, and mysterious patterns are engraved on the surface of the feathers.
…
[Haruhi Angel (Blue Level): "Fly."
Type: Temporary flying prop, which will be automatically broken after a certain period of use.
Maximum load: 100kg
Equipment requirements: None
Note: This temporary flying prop made by the player "Lu" combines the technology of the scientific side and the mysterious side, and can fly in the rain. 】
…
[Team Mu (21:23): The wheelchair has no energy. This is a temporary flight device made by your teammates. Wear it to pick up Xi. All nine seats have the authority to open the central control room.]
…
"Understood." Su Ming'an had already asked Xiao Ai to pick up Xi, and they should be very close to the building now.
Among the nine seats, two were killed in the early stage, Tretia is already dead, Rongyuan has defected to Tawei, Noah is in the room of the Dawn System, Bei Lisel has been missing, Lin Guang cannot be relied on, and now only Xi can help him.
He quickly put on the iron wings, and there was a "clicking" sound behind him. The metal skeleton spread out to both sides, exuding a layer of cold and sharp black and gold. The flight could be controlled by a pair of handles under the ribs.
He broke through the glass and jumped out through the leaky window in front of him.
“Hua La La—”
The moment he crashed into the rain, the heavy rain instantly blurred his vision. The wings behind him spread out with a "click", and he flew away unsteadily in the direction pointed by Captain Mu, like a black crow in the rain.
The temporary props were indeed temporary props, and their quality was very "temporary". Su Mingan stumbled while flying in the rain and almost lost control for several seconds, falling from a height of more than 20 meters.
After flying for a minute, he saw a figure at the edge of the high-speed railway station. Her black hair fluttered wildly in the rain, and her eyes were still bright even in the dark, allowing him to spot her in an instant.
She was fighting like most people, her body covered in blood, and the remains of dozens of mechanical armies surrounded her, forming a small hill.
"——Xiao Shuai! I'm here!!"
Seeing Su Mingan in the sky, Xi shouted and waved, blood slid down the wound on her cheek.
The soldiers next to her also shouted:
"Sir! Xi is here!!"
"Sir! Xi is here!!"
For fear of wasting even a minute of Su Mingan's time, they shouted with all their might, as if they wanted to lift Xi high into the sky.
With the sound of the wings "shua la la", Su Mingan lowered his wings and dropped sharply. Coincidentally, Xi jumped up from the billboard of the high-speed railway station -
Bumped into his arms.
Just like a black hawk catching a leaping rabbit, the two completed an extremely fast handover. Su Mingan had just lowered his height and was able to quickly raise it up and leave as soon as he touched.
The soldiers below continued to fight hard, and no one asked Su Mingan to help them clean up the mechanical army, because they knew that what the commander was going to do was the most difficult and dangerous thing. Even if they died here, they could not waste the commander's time.
Humanity has paid too much for freedom and civilization.
"Xiao Shuai."
Xi leaned over his ear, her hot breath scraping across the back of his neck:
"I heard Xiao Ai talk about Noah."
They were flying fast in the heavy rain, Su Mingan's heart was pounding, the tension and excitement stimulated his adrenaline.
"What?"
Su Mingan's voice was very soft in the rainstorm, but he still remembered Noah's sunflower-like smile.
The wind stirred and rushed towards them.
Her voice is like the wind.
"You are...hot."
She wrapped her cold arms around his neck, hugged him tightly, and kept mumbling to him, as if she was promising him:
"we love you."
"we love you."
"we love you……"
