From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

The two psychics' attacks were so ruthless and decisive that Amber was beyond her expectations.

He originally thought that the Archbishop and his gang might use a gentler, more humane method, such as poisoning the Holy Communion, to silence them, but he didn't expect these two to just start with a simple and rough AOE clearing of the map.

As the floor of the C-12 lounge, or 'cleaning room', cracked, Amber opened her eyes at that moment and activated the electromagnetic climbing function of her right hand, fixing herself on the metal floor.

At the same time, his left hand suddenly grabbed Qilin Jindoshi's work clothes belt, preventing him from sliding directly under the floor like the bodies of other civil engineering brothers.

It was also at this moment that Amber quickly made a crisis decision.

Although he could not use psychic powers, the terrain scanning function of the "biological exoskeleton" allowed him to immediately know the situation under the floor.

This was a passage that extended diagonally downward, and at the end of the passage, both the exoskeleton's detection unit and Amber herself felt a heat source.

Judging from the rough outline scanned by the detection unit, it should be a resource recovery incinerator.

Just as Amber was thinking about whether to continue clinging here and wait for the floor to close again, or to enter the pipe and look for another opportunity, the detection unit scanned and sent out a prompt, revealing a space like an inspection hole near the end of the passage.

This space seems to be directly connected to the maintenance passage covering the entire Final Dogma area.

But the problem is that this space was not seen on the structural diagram of the entire underground facility when Amber was "fishing" with Qilin Jindoshi before.

So there are only two possibilities. Either this space is not recorded in the structural diagram for some reason, or the scanning unit has made a misjudgment.

So he finally chose to trust the equipment provided by Alenita and believed that the craftsmanship of the elf technicians of the Thousand Star Empire was not bad.

“Done!”

Slightly reducing the power of the electromagnetic climbing device, Amber immediately fell downwards under the weight of Qilin Jindoshi.

This feeling of weightlessness also suddenly woke up Qilin Jindoshi, who had lost consciousness for a short time. When he found that he was falling downwards, his body's instinct of fear made him want to scream, but it was also this fear and the feeling of falling that made his voice blocked in his throat.

The height of more than ten meters came to an end in an instant. Amber could even see the bodies of the civil engineering brothers falling and dropping into the incinerator. Those lifeless bodies curled up and carbonized the moment they touched the high temperature, like paper figures thrown into a bonfire by children.

Qilin Jindosh's legs were kicking wildly in the air. In his panic, he did not notice that Amber was holding the belt on his back tightly. The fire from the incinerator below made his terrified face flicker, and the young man thought he was going to die.

Amber, whose eyes were fixed on that space, no longer cared whether Qilin Jindoshi was afraid or not. He knew that he only had one chance. If he failed, he and Qilin Jindoshi would fall into the incinerator like those corpses.

When their bodies were parallel to that space, Amber saw an iron gate for an inspection hatch that clearly did not meet installation specifications.

"arrive!"

He bent his knees, and the leg power units of the biological exoskeleton instantly contracted and stored energy. Then, he exerted force with his legs, carrying Qilin Jindoshi with him, and rushed out diagonally like a catapult full of energy. The electromagnetic climbing device emitted a dark blue arc the moment it separated from the wall, and the two of them almost passed by a scorching air wave that rushed up.

Amber used her back to push open the half-open iron gate of the inspection entrance, and the fragments of the metal fence that were forced open slashed across her face like a rain of knives.

The high-temperature airflow from the incinerator swirled past the soles of the two men's boots, and the functional ribbons scattered on their work clothes instantly curled up and charred - perhaps this high-temperature airflow was nothing to Amber, but for Qilin Jindoshi, who was just an ordinary person, it was deadly enough.

Amber rushed in here by inertia, and finally his back hit the wall of the tube at the end heavily, but even so he still used his arms to protect Qilin Jindoshi to his chest. No matter what, this gentleman must not get into trouble, at least not now.

When everything returned to calm, the only sounds that could be heard in the small, enclosed space were the heartbeats of the two people.

After a while, Amber, who had recovered her breath, let go of Qilin Jindoshi and asked, "Are you okay? Check yourself for any injuries."

However, the young structural engineer had not yet recovered from the shocking moment. It was not until Amber patted his shoulder hard that he twitched violently as if awakened from a dream.

“Click!”

Amber took out a weak light stick from Qilin Jindoshi's waist bag and turned it on. The faint green light also illuminated the enclosed space, but Qilin Jindoshi's face was still full of fear.

"Mr. Amuro, what just happened?"

"It's simple. We helped the Archbishop and his men do something, but because the confidentiality of this place is too high, it cannot be leaked to the outside world. So after we completed our mission, they had to kill us 'insiders'~"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Silence." Qilin Jindoshi repeated the word in a daze. It was obvious that the young man had never thought that such a thing would happen to him.

"Then Mr. Amuro, why do you know all this, and..."

Qilin Jindoshi looked back at Amber, and in addition to the lingering fear in his eyes, there was also a hint of doubt.

"Why did you save me?"

"I'm sorry." Amber shook her head. "I can't tell you the specific reason, or you can understand it this way. Saving you is very important to me."

Naturally, Amber's words left Qilin Jindoshi somewhat confused, but Amber couldn't tell him that she was doing this for such a bizarre reason as completing a 'time loop'.

"So, Mr. Amuro, what should we do now?"

"Now? Of course, we have to find a way out first."

Amber turned around in this narrow space, and sure enough, on the other side of the pipe wall, she saw a maintenance pipe leading to another direction.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to send you out first, and then do what I should do~"
