Chapter 186 What He Can Do
Luo Huayi rose once again from the Song Emperor's muskets, and the regenerated black iron thorns surged forward to block the statue's attack once more.
The man's flesh and blood regenerated and recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This frenzied battle seems to have no end in sight.
He continued walking forward in a daze, trying to get closer to King Wuguan, who was being protected by King Chujiang and King Songdi.
Xin Que is still in its hands.
Luo Huayi has already gained very smooth control over the backup authority of King Biancheng.
He can build spaces as large as a city, and he can also weave a bottomless sea of thorns.
But that's not what he wanted; he wanted Xin Que, whose fate was uncertain.
The thorns grew longer and denser, effectively isolating King Chujiang and King Song from their attacks.
The earth shook violently.
The administrator's rapid calculations yielded all possible results, but they failed to anticipate that Luo Huayi could elevate her authority to the level of managing AI in such a short time.
The administrator's enormous mechanical eyes looked at the humanoid program that was still walking towards the Five Senses King.
The black iron thorns that grew wildly toward the clenched fist of the statue were shattered by the Five Senses King's rosary, but more grew back until rings of hideous thorns twisted the robe like chains, forcefully grabbing the statue's wrist and forcing it to let go.
These thorns, like weeds that can never be cleared away, are a real nuisance.
Even if one part is destroyed, new thorns will quickly grow back; they will not give up until they achieve their goal.
【King Chu Jiang, King Song Di】The administrator's emotionless voice rang out.
[Abandon the city interrogation plan; crush and eliminate them all, along with the traitors.]
The earth-shaking roar of the ocean waves echoed from outside the gaps in the thorny bushes overhead.
King Chujiang stopped fighting the thorny thicket and glared angrily at Luo Huayi.
The black iron thorns beneath his feet emitted an increasingly painful heat, and Emperor Song gradually stopped moving, standing majestically before Luo Huayi together with King Chujiang.
Above, the dark, roaring waves of the living hell gradually descend, while below, the black rope fire hell roars and slowly rises.
The two great hells, ruled by King Chujiang and King Songdi, surrounded the city map from above and below, squeezing and destroying it.
The raging flames and freezing waves created a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.
"Click—"
The administrator's mechanical eyes looked at Luo Huayi, who was still putting up a stubborn resistance.
He was still forcing the Five Senses King to let go.
With the hostage in his hands, the Five Senses King's movements were restricted, and he appeared somewhat defeated amidst the thorns.
"Xin Que, Xin Que!" Cheng Zheng shouted, "Open your eyes!!!"
Despite the excruciating pain coursing through her limbs, Xin Que gritted her teeth and said, "You're not completely dead, so stop howling!"
"Run while you can still move!!!" Cheng Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xin Que was still conscious. "The administrator plans to destroy the entire map. If we don't run now, we'll all be buried with this map!!!"
Xin Que caught the sound of thorns swaying and growing outside the darkness. "I know, give me a little more time..."
Now she is held in the palm of the idol, and even moving is a pipe dream, let alone escaping.
“Luo Huayi’s thorns are at her wrist,” Cheng Zheng said quickly, “as long as we can find a way to get the thorns to reach you…”
Xin Que couldn't move her arms or legs, so she could only struggle to bite a grenade out of Cheng Zheng's backup space. "How many of the self-repairing heart drive chips of the City King are left?"
Cheng Zheng was ready to deliver the heart drive chip to Xin Que at any time. "There are still a few left. Don't worry, even if you blow them up into jigsaw puzzle pieces, they'll be enough to put you back together!"
Xin Que made a quick decision, tilting his head and using the tip of his teeth to pull open the safety bolt.
"boom--"
Seeing the explosion coming from the Five Senses King's hand and the fragments oozing from between the fingers of the statue, Luo Huayi ran forward even faster.
The thorn bushes emitted a sharp buzzing sound. They seized every opportunity, and as soon as they saw the Five Senses King's hand loosen for a moment, they rushed in through the gaps, forcing it to open its palm.
The woman's mutilated body was torn apart by thorns, and then restored to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xin Que spat out the power-draining drive chip, immediately got up from the thorns, and ran through the thorn forest towards the Five Senses King's arm, looking for a suitable spot to fall to the ground.
The hand that held the prayer beads reached out again to grab Xin Que, who was trying to escape.
Xin Que narrowly escaped, falling straight to the ground into the thorny thicket that grew towards her.
"Xin Que!" Luo Huayi was overjoyed to see the woman who had landed safely, protected by the thorny bushes, and ran towards her.
"Go to the refresh point!!!" Xin Que shouted at him.
The sea of thorns on the ground immediately surged violently, with dark iron waves rushing towards the spot where Luo Huayi had attacked earlier.
One after another, black iron thorns protected the two people amidst the dense thorns, ignoring the surging waves of the living hell in the sky and the howling flames of the black rope fire hell on the ground.
The two great hells are approaching the city map like planets colliding.
The Five Senses King let out an angry roar, crushing thorns one after another as he headed straight for their target.
When Luo Huayi caught a glimpse of the statue chasing after her through the gaps in the thorns, her emotions had completely calmed down.
“Xin Que,” he said in an extremely gentle voice, pulling her wrist from behind and slowly drawing her into his arms, “everything I said before was true.”
Xin Que was taken aback by the words the man whispered in her ear. "What?"
“I really want to leave with you,” Luo Huayi’s voice was a little hoarse, “whether it’s fleeing or living under an assumed name…”
He nuzzled Xin Que's cheek.
But he was even more afraid of seeing Xin Que die.
The repeated panics forced Luo Huayi to confront a fact.
As long as the so-called Ten Kings of Hell still exist and prisons still exist, Xin Que will forever be shrouded in the shadow of death.
Under an endless threat, trying to escape with a prison traitor is simply a fantasy.
"Forget it, let's not talk about those pointless things."
"Xin Que, I'll find a way to clear a path... to get you away." Luo Huayi closed her eyes, held the person in her arms tightly, and spoke softly.
The buildings covered in thorns kept changing shape, as if responding to someone's deep sorrow.
It seems I can only wait for you to pull me out of the mire time and time again in the predicaments arranged by fate.
Even if you pile power on me, I still can't do what you can do so easily.
The buildings on the street are constantly deformed and piled up into bizarre mountain ranges of buildings. Screens of all sizes are piled up crookedly on the outside of the strange buildings, as if they want to tell someone something.
On various screens, scrambled images flashed by, but soon the images on the screens became clear again.
Like a Hong Kong film from a certain period, on a noisy and crowded street, the male protagonist, covered in wounds, calls out the female protagonist's name against the flow of people, crosses the bustling city and the streets, and finally embraces that figure from behind.
Luo Huayi finally let go, watching Xin Que's figure gradually disappear into the surging thorns, and her lips moved.
"I……"
The male protagonist's lines on the screen were drowned out by the waves pouring down from the sky.
I like you.
Before the Five Observation King could reach Xin Que, the thorns pushed her into the crevice at the refresh point. Then, the dense thorns completely blocked the crevice.
Luo Huayi mobilized all the authority and abilities at her disposal to stand in front of the approaching statue.
He looked up at the living hell that was almost within reach, while the iron thorns beside him continued to grow meanderingly.
This map must not be destroyed by these people before Xin Que leaves safely.
I did everything in my power to turn the world upside down, just to send that magpie, destined for freedom, out of this cage.
