Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

My wrist hurts a little.

The joints were dislocated, and blood slid down the wrist, dripping down drop by drop.

But there was no sign of pain on his face; on the contrary... he was smiling.

"Black Tower... are you willing to part with it?"

Black Tower's eyes darkened for a moment.

"What do you think?"

She grasped his hand with just the right amount of force, stopping him just short of his dislocated wrist.

Even the slightest exertion brings new, excruciating pain.

Jiang Jiu stared blankly at the emotions in Hei Ta's eyes.

She felt wronged.

...What are you feeling wronged about?

Is it unfair that he never seems to value his own life?

Is he upset that he always leaves her behind?

Or is it because he felt wronged by what he just said about being able to die and go back at any time?

"...Black Tower."

He called out softly.

Black Tower did not respond, but simply stared at him.

Jiang Jiu suddenly moved.

He used his other, non-dislocated hand to exert force, the chains tearing at flesh with a crisp sound, but he ignored the excruciating pain, simply raising his hand, gripping the back of her neck, and pulling her towards him.

Then... he kissed her.

The kiss came suddenly, tinged with the smell of blood.

He held Black Tower's lips in his mouth, his tongue prying open her teeth, the taste of blood spreading in their mouths.

I don't know if it was his blood or the traces she left when she licked him earlier.

Hei Ta froze for a moment before reacting, closing her eyes, hugging him, and responding.

No, it's probably not a response.

Instead, it was plunder...

She kissed him forcefully, as if she wanted to swallow him whole. Her hands gripped his collar, pulling him even closer, close enough to feel each other's breath and hear each other's heartbeats.

The taste of blood lingered between my lips and teeth.

Salty and astringent, with a fishy and sweet taste.

But no one stopped.

After an unknown amount of time, Black Tower finally released him.

She stepped back slightly, looking at him with a slight breath.

Jiang Jiu's lips were bitten hard and bled, with traces of blood still on the corner of his mouth.

His face was slightly pale from blood loss, but his eyes were filled with her.

Only her...

"Now..." Jiang Jiu's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of a smile, "Are you satisfied now?"

Hei Ta looked at him, remained silent for two seconds, then reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"fool......."

She said softly.

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but smile.

He raised his still-movable hand and gently touched her face.

"Black Tower..."

"Ok?"

I promise you.

Black Tower paused for a moment.

"Promise what?"

"I'll agree to anything you want..."

Black Tower looked into his earnest eyes.

After a long pause, she suddenly lowered her head and placed a kiss on the corner of his lips.

It's very light.

It was like gently stamping a seal.

She didn't say whether it was good or bad, or whether it would work or not; she was just a bit persistent...

Meanwhile, the chain was still wrapped around Jiang Jiu's wrists, the handcuffs were tight, and blood was still dripping down...

But Jiang Jiu didn't care at all.

He simply looked at the person in front of him, at the softening look in her eyes, and suddenly felt...

Even if I'm locked up by her for life... if the other party is Black Tower... it seems worth it.

"Black Tower..."

"Ok?"

"Why don't you help me connect it?"

He shook his dislocated wrist.

"pain......"

Hei Ta looked at him for a while, then slightly curled his lips.

"Serves you right."

As she said this, she gently lifted his wrist and snapped it back into place.

The chains snapped, and the handcuffs were removed.

Jiang Jiu hissed.

Black Tower raised an eyebrow: "Now you know what pain is?"

Jiang Jiu looked at her, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "I've always known this in front of you."

......

"It hurts, blow on it for me."

"Dream on."

......

"I like you......"

"Is it just liking it?"

"...Then, I love you."

......

So, I ask you—

If you had a girlfriend who was incredibly beautiful, exceptionally intelligent, and unparalleled in the world, what time would you go home at night?

Jiang said affectionately: I can stay at home 24 hours a day and stick to her until she kicks me out.

What about you?

Chapter 223 is here, let's review it together—

Jiang Jiu was too lazy to complain about the system's selection mechanism, but this fourth path...

"...What's going on? I've saved Onpharos several times already, why do I need to open a separate instance for him?"

"The End of Memories... If I kill Iron Tomb beforehand, will this End of Memories still exist?"

『......』

"I'm sorry, host."

This mission cannot interfere with the trajectory of the Star Train, nor can it prevent the Iron Tomb from being created prematurely.

"What if I rescued those three train crew members beforehand and then blew them up with Onfaros?"

『......』

"This action may lead to irreversible consequences for the world. Please choose carefully, host."

"What if I go ahead..."

"This action may lead to irreversible consequences for the world. Please choose carefully, host."

"..."

unbelievable.

I thought this broken system had finally had a change of heart, but it turns out it's because the missions were set too high.

"Xi Lian, memories, treasured until the end of time..."

Jiang Jiu almost laughed in anger. After all that, the last storyline turned out to be a disaster at the level of a star god.

"Please select the last world line you wish to reverse."

Jiang Jiu stretched lazily, looked at the infinity icon in the taskbar, and a few thoughts flashed through his mind.
