Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 135 Lucky Kiss
There was a sound of crying coming from far away.

Very clear.

"Mom, why can't I stand steadily?"

It was precisely because there was no sound around except for the vibration that Yuan Qingzhuo could hear it so far away.

"It's just a small earthquake. It's okay. It will pass in no time."

Then came the mother's gentle voice.

But no earthquake alert was issued at all.

Moreover, compared with those who knew nothing, the researchers in the Meteorological Bureau were even more confused - because they did not find the source of the earthquake at all, but they could clearly feel the vibrations coming from all directions with their feet and bodies.

What they didn't know was that perhaps in half a minute - or at most a minute - this so-called "small earthquake with no source found" would instantly wipe out most of the lives in the City of the Sun.

Regardless of identity, race, or good or bad.

Everything seems unexpectedly equal in the face of death.

Only if you are strong enough can you fight for even the slightest chance of survival.

If you run away now.

Well, Yuan Qingzhuo now lets Shirakawa take himself, Marina and Shirakawa to escape from the City of Sun.

Under the cover of the martial arts will, the Lord of All Machines will never be able to discover them.

In this way, the Lord of All Machines will waste energy in vain. The Yuanqing people only need to wait until the Lord of All Machines' energy is exhausted and it becomes a ruined city again, and then come to collect heads.

And the price?
Sorry, there is no price.

For information life forms like the Lord of All Machines, which can only observe the world through cameras, artificial eyes, thermal imaging, etc., the will of martial arts is an existence that it absolutely cannot understand.

As long as they escape from the City of the Sun, Yuan Qingzhuo can even use his martial arts will to cover the three of them for the rest of their lives.

"Let's go."

The young Baihe suddenly spoke, causing the other two Baihe to look at him in surprise.

I am totally confused.

If it were the two of us, we might suggest retreating first.

——But when I was that age, I was determined to become a hero, I hated evil and was full of vigor and vitality...how could I possibly say such a thing?

The young Baihe didn't pay attention to the gazes of the other two. He just glanced at Shirakawa Wakaxia who was already at the end of her strength, and Yuan Qingzhuo and Marina who had consumed most of their strength.

He simply asked Yuan Qingzhuo, "Is this city worth the price of nearly your life?"

Without waiting for his answer, the young Baihe said, "It's not worth it."

“Or, is this your hometown?”

The young man Bai He shook his head again: "I don't think so."

The original clear and silent.

"Also, this person should be your Taoist partner."

The young Bai He looked at the ignorant Marina, and then turned his gaze to Yuan Qingzhuo again: "Your weight in her heart is greater than anything else in this world, so you must protect her."

Yuan Qingzhuo didn't say anything.

Marina stood obediently behind him, just alertly watching all directions without saying a word.

"Is it for these irrelevant people and my Taoist companion to die in a foreign land, or to leave this troubled place with her... Yuan Qingzhuo, I don't think I need to teach you such a simple truth."

The young Baihe said calmly: "It's not that I feel cowardly, but you have people who need to be protected. You have more important things to sacrifice your life for, instead of wasting your life on these strangers like me."

"You can tell at a glance what is more important."

"Also, if this entire city could really become one, then I probably wouldn't be able to think of any good way to defeat it.

"It's not a good habit to try to stop a chariot with your bare hands."

The young man Bai He used his fingertips to make a spell and released several beams of healing light towards Bai Chuan Ruoxia: "So, Yuan Qingzhuo... my future apprentice, take them away first."

Young Baihe is right.

He's right.

In fact, it’s just like Marina.

——No matter how many other people in the City of the Sun are added together, Marina’s position in Yuan Qingzhuo’s heart is higher than hers.

This is quite normal.

Because Yuan Qingzhuo is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires. If he is unable to do so, then he must make a choice...

?
"Master."

After a long time, Yuan Qingzhuo finally spoke.

"You said."

Yuan Qingzhuo asked softly:

"Do you think I am a minor or an adult?"

The young boy Baihe was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Although you don't look like an adult yet, there is no doubt that you are a complete adult."

So Yuan Qingzhuo smiled.

"So, only children make choices."

他 说:

"——Of course adults choose to take them all."

Marina, who was standing behind Yuan Qingzhuo, nodded repeatedly and showed her majestic biceps to the slender boy Baihe.

"Yuan Qingzhuo, the enemy you are going to face is clear, and the person you need to protect is also clear."

The young boy Bai He calmly gazed at the smiling Yuan Qingzhuo and warned him calmly:

"So you have to understand that this is no longer bravery, but pure virginity and recklessness."

The young man Bai He couldn't help but exert more force on the hilt of the sword, but he didn't say anything.

The young man Bai He wanted to say something, but he saw Yuan Qingzhuo suddenly raised his hand to signal him to stop talking.

"Master."

Yuan Qingzhuo closed his eyes and whispered softly,
"Did you hear someone crying?"

Baihe was silent.

Yuan Qingzhuo opened his eyes again, looked at his silent expression, and raised his finger seriously: "It's not a question of whether you can do it or not, but whether you want to do it or not."

"This is very crucial, Master, you have to make it clear."

Marina behind him had a flickering look in her eyes, and she almost hugged him tightly in such a tense situation.

The young boy Bai He turned around, looked at the expressions of the other two, and asked:

"So, this is your decision?"

Yuan Qingzhuo rubbed Marina's head and said, "Because I've been caught in the rain, I decided to hold an umbrella for everyone who passes by."

He looked at his master Baihe.
"——Master, you should be the most clear about this."

"I have no opinion."

Master Baihe raised his hands, indicating that he wholeheartedly supported his cheap apprentice's decision and actions - after all, it wasn't him who would die.

"Then I won't say much."

The young man Bai He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with purple and gold colors: "You give the order, and I will carry it out."

Yuan Qingzhuo glanced at Master Baihe, then glanced at Marina obscurely, and after the latter nodded, he responded:

"Thank you."

"Marina."

Yuan Qingzhuo said, "Even if the Lord of All Machines controls this city and can manipulate the City of the Sun, he still has to transport energy through the many cables under the city."

This would slow down the time it takes for the Lord of All Machines to merge the Sun City into a whole. "I'll cut it off?"

Marina clenched her fists and looked at the concrete floor, eager to give it a try.

"Yes, I will find and mark the spot for you, all you have to do is throw your fist."

Yuan Qingzhuo called up the overview of the underground cables in the City of the Sun that Lana had given him, memorized it in less than a second, and then spoke to Marina:
"Two o'clock direction, seven hundred meters, seventy meters underground."

"That is an important energy transportation pipeline..."

Before Yuan Qingzhuo finished his words, a distant roar accompanied by fierce flames and dust came in less than two seconds.

"What happens next?!"

Marina's tone wasn't particularly passionate, but she still hadn't mastered the trick of turning down the "volume", so even a simple question seemed extremely loud.

"Five o'clock direction, three hundred meters..."

Boom boom boom!
A violent explosion sounded again among the ruins.

"One o'clock, eight hundred meters..."

"Twelve o'clock direction, six hundred and fifty meters..."

After Marina's back was out of sight, Master Bai He walked up to Yuan Qingzhuo, who had an expressionless face, grinned at him, and asked:
"Do you really think what you just said?"

"Telling lies is four horses."

Yuan Qingzhuo replied, and then said in a complicated tone: "However, Marina will be handed over to you later."

"Hmm? She's so strong, why does she need us to do anything... hold her back?"

Master Bai He was puzzled - the eye contact before was one thing, but after Yuan Qingzhuo really laid the matter out on the table, he still didn't quite understand the reason.

"The Lord of All Machines is going after her."

Yuan Qingzhuo replied: "Whether it's me or anyone else, we are no different from machines in the eyes of the Lord of All Machines. Only Marina is worthy of its attention."

"It should be said that if it weren't for Marina, I would never have been able to fight against the Corona Group and the Master of All Machines, and they would have no reason to look for a mere fourth-level psychic who burned down the Arakawa Building."

"So, I'm asking you to take Marina away."

Yuan Qingzhuo pleaded: "Just like protecting and taking away those ordinary people."

He looked up at the sky, and kept giving Marina instructions to delay the Lord of All Machines' revival as much as possible, while also consuming as much of her power as possible.

"Good idea."

Master Bai He raised an eyebrow: "Have you ever considered her feelings?"

"Her feeling is that she wants to die with me, and she wants to be buried with me even if she can't die with me."

Yuan Qingzhuo shrugged speechlessly.

"You stubborn bastard, this is too stupid, I can't accept it."

"In the final analysis, I don't get along with idiots like this who don't use their brains. Even if I wanted to save her, I had to spend a lot of energy to get her out of the way. If it was Susie... another girl, I could just tell her and everything would be solved."

Master Bai He stared at Yuan Qingzhuo with a strange expression: "To be honest, you should look at your expression in the mirror."

"how?"

"—you're so fucking gentle it makes me want to puke kid."

Yuan Qingzhuo smiled for the first time in a long time. He listened to the questions and roars of the Lord of All Machines coming from the radio and loudspeakers, and suddenly said,

"I have a plan."

Before Yuan Qingzhuo could even speak out his plan, he heard mechanical and electronic sounds resounding through the heavens and earth.

"No... I won't give you another chance! Marina Vidsotoevsky Kodeiga... Listen, you have missed your last chance to surrender to me!"

The Lord of All Machines spoke in a broken voice: "I gave you a chance to be reborn and correct your mistakes... but you didn't accept it..."

"Well... very good!"

All the loudspeakers were turned up to the highest volume, and they roared in a hissing voice: "I will give you death!"

"You're just like a clown who wants something but can't get it. You don't even know that you can pick up your nose by bending down."

Yuan Qingzhuo sighed, and he condensed his martial arts will into a line, connected it to the cable through a broadcast that was still happening, and said:
"Lord Clown, I think you made a mistake, that is..."

He declared his sovereignty word by word: "Marina is my woman now, so when you talk to her, you must first get my opinion."

呲呲呲!
The Lord of All Machines suddenly fell into dead silence.

Afterwards, millions of electric currents rushed to the broken radio that Yuan Qingzhuo was connected to, instantly turning it into gas invisible to the naked eye.

The surging electric current turned the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters into charcoal like a thunder dragon.

Master Bai He's eyelids twitched slightly: "Why are you talking about nonsense at this time? Don't you have anything to do after eating?"

"This is called stirring up hatred, what do you know?"

Yuan Qingzhuo replied casually, and then called back Marina in the channel, who had completely paralyzed the surrounding energy channels in a short period of time.

"here you go."

He praised Marina, who was sweating and panting beside him, and then heard the latter's joyful reply: "I heard your answer just now, Xiaoyuan!"

"Oh? What? Are you going to accuse me of objectifying women?"

Yuan Qingzhuo was thinking about what method to use to make Marina fall asleep instantly... Her physical fitness is not better than that of ordinary people. It would be too easy if only Shirakawa Ruoxia was carried away now.

One tap on the back of the neck and that's it.

But you can't do that to Marina, who can kill a Tyrannosaurus with one punch.

"Huh? What is that?"

Marina didn't quite understand the vocabulary that boxers often used.

The young boy Bai He was about to step forward to perform some recovery magic on Marina, but his master Bai He quickly stopped him and gave him a fierce look.

——Oh my god, Yuan Qingzhuo wanted to knock Marina unconscious so that we could take her away, and you also wanted to give her buffs and resistance. Aren’t you afraid that he will tear you apart on the spot?

The young boy Baihe who was just thinking about how to save more people:?
"No, it's nothing."

Yuan Qingzhuo shook his head, then suddenly looked at Marina seriously and said:

"Dog, I have a plan that can bring the Lord of All Things to ruin forever."

Marina straightened up and looked down at Yuan Qingzhuo seriously: "You say."

"It just requires a little bit of luck."

He was silent for a moment, raised his forehead, and whispered to the blonde girl with golden eyes who was close at hand: "Can you please give me a lucky kiss?"

Marina was stunned for a moment, then grinned happily.

Overjoyed.

She held Yuan Qingzhuolou in her arms, lowered her head, leaned over and pressed her lips, dripping with blood and sweat, on his forehead, as if a master was marking her pet.
"Of course."

At this moment, a double-triggered martial arts will was exerted.

——"Let Marina sleep for ten minutes."

This is the will of martial arts.

The triggering conditions are extremely strict - "Marina kisses Yuan Qingzhuo's forehead."

Drowsiness invaded Marina's whole body in just a moment, making her eyes dark and her consciousness fall into chaos.

Before falling into the dark, dark darkness, she only saw Yuan Qingzhuo standing silently, also standing on tiptoes and kissing her forehead.

Then, he held her hands tightly and said thank you to her very solemnly.

Marina wanted to reach out and grab him, but her strength seemed to have disappeared from her body, so she could only watch the familiar figure getting farther and farther away from her.

Until the back is broken.

Until it disappears.
