"Why don't you just ask your friend yourself? Why bother asking me?" Xingxiao said, looking like he was about to leave.
Hua Wu shook his head. "I'm too lazy to ask. Just tell me directly. I don't have much patience. Don't leave me with any suspense. Whether we'll even see each other again next time is a question."
"It's nothing. Your general friend said he's a strategist. But to be able to defeat the Foehn like that... I don't think he's a strategist."
Chapter 153 Xingxiao: Be my personal sun. Hua Wu: That's called a handheld lamp.
"He wasn't lying. He was indeed a strategist, a strategist who didn't rely on external aids. Among strategists, he had the highest martial prowess, and among warriors, he had the highest intelligence."
Hua Wu slowly approached, intending to unleash his ultimate weapon.
"Actually, after leaving the Legion, I always felt that I hadn't done well, but when I wanted to speak up, I felt guilty towards you."
Xingxiao immediately sensed something was off. Although he was love-struck, something that came too quickly and easily seemed very strange.
"You're going to admit your mistakes? But that's not what you said that day. You're starting again. Is that right? But I believe you. Speak up."
"Admit my mistake? I do admit my mistake. I admit it was all Yi Ting's fault; those memories are too illusory and too persistent."
"Yiting...you really are fair in your favor. Illusion? You can clearly turn them into reality. I can't distinguish the illusions you're talking about, and I don't need to."
Xingxiao raised the sky-blue bracelet on his hand and continued, "This is the only truth, the truth that I can touch."
Hua Wu nodded. "Yes, it was made by me. Why didn't you break it?"
Xingxiao calmly replied, "Because I couldn't break it, I left it behind. I always believed you would come back, but now it seems... that's not going to work."
Hua Wu looked at the person in front of him and smiled, saying, "Yes, I can't come back. My Destruction proficiency is almost maxed out, and it's getting a bit boring. I need to create a new character."
Hua Wu suddenly realized something: if Xing Xiao didn't use this to make bombs... then there was only one possibility. "What do you need this core for? You're not thinking of creating another me, are you?"
"Yes, you guessed right. But now that I think about it, it was all self-deception. And how can someone like me, who is good at destruction, create anything? And how can the you I created be you?"
Hua Wu smiled and said, "Doesn't the legion still have a legendary unit-producing king? You let..."
Xingxiao interrupted abruptly, staring at the figure so close to him, "Impossible. You don't understand now, you are unique to me."
She hugged him. "I understand. I just want to experience something real. How is that any different from a false memory?"
"Oh? You still like to hug me? How does it feel? How is it different from what I remember?" Hua Wu was shameless and didn't care anymore.
Xingxiao hugged her even tighter. "Yeah, I love it to the core. No, I can't tell the difference. Okay, after saying so much, I think I've said enough. As for the core... I'll try to make it into something like a souvenir."
"That should be enough, right? I'm an unknown person in the legitimate world now. It would be impolite to continue like this, my young lady."
Xingxiao reluctantly let go. "I understand, my hands are stained with blood. But your hands also hold the souls of the dead."
"I have killed many lives, but I have also saved some. Although I understand that life is not a number, on the scale of this universe... it is a number. It's a cold topic."
Hua Wu took two steps back and turned around, saying, "You're right. When I'm on the hunt, I'm more like destruction. Nanuk has his own set of rules for judgment. He believes that only civilizations with cancerous tendencies are on the list, and that list... is filled with two words: all. Alright, alright, let's go. Staying any longer will really make things harder to explain. If you have something to say, say it in advance. Don't invade like a child without a word."
Hua Wu planned to stall for time, stabilize the situation, and then perform a fake death on the spot later.
He had already planned to throw this stage, where he died on the spot, into Pinocchio.
Xingxiao snapped out of his daze and said somewhat dazedly, "I feel so unreal. You've changed so fast. I seem to see my past in you. You probably don't know how much pain I've suffered in the Legion since you left."
“I always thought I had lost you, and I even asked Lord Nanuk. But now I realize that’s not the case. You’re back, and whether you return to the Legion or not is no longer important. After those two times, I understand that you have changed.”
As Xingxiao gazed at that retreating figure, she grew increasingly dazed. The aura emanating from the quantum core in her hand made her even more confused and infatuated.
"Because recently I've discovered that the tyranny and destructive aura emanating from you... it must be because you've retraced your path of destruction, it's absolutely true! I feel that the you of the past is tearing away this mask of hypocrisy, and is about to return!"
Hua Wu: ?
"Xingxiao, have you gone mad again? I've always been me. I may have changed, but I'm definitely not as outrageous as you're saying."
"No, that must be it. Stop using those lame excuses. What 'exploration' and 'career' are just ways you're trying to hide your love for me. I understood everything when I got this quantum core."
"I understand your inner thoughts and the torment you're going through... so now I understand what kind of love you want!"
Hua Wu felt that this format seemed somewhat familiar. "You've also learned my face-changing technique? Actually, I'm not that guilty. You don't need to feel this way."
Xingxiao rushed in front of Huawu, "Enough! Do you understand yourself better than I do? There's a saying in your hometown, the Immortal Ship: 'Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see clearly.' You're currently being misled by yourself! I must save you here, help you tear off that mask of hypocrisy, and reclaim the throne of [Destruction]!"
Hua Wu sensed something was wrong; the sentence structure seemed a bit off. "What are you doing? Want to get elbowed?"
Xingxiao looked at Huawu and said, "I only want you to be my sun."
Hua Wu said speechlessly, "A sun for one person? That thing is called a hand lantern."
Xingxiao continued, "Hmm, that makes sense. You're right, I understand. I... have too high expectations. Perhaps this time, things went too smoothly and I became complacent. When your sword is pointed at destruction, I won't be there."
"Furthermore, from the past until now, it has always been you who is giving. In barter, I am giving you a hairpin blessed with [destruction] as a return gift. I don't know what it is for, but my subconscious tells me I have to do it."
In the empty corridor, a gust of wind blew, and the white figure disappeared from sight.
"So, am I just rehashing old news?"
"Has she left?" Pam asked, leaning slightly forward as she listened to the voice.
Hua Wu sighed helplessly, "She's gone. Train conductor, I remember you were quite brave, weren't you? You could have just left her standing outside the door."
Pam retorted, "But she used your face, so I thought it was you who came back."
Hua Wu laughed and said, "Did I come back through the main entrance? I always go straight to my room. Have you forgotten?"
Suddenly, Hua Wu's expression changed. "Or... do you not care about me anymore? I'm so sad and upset. I just went out for a walk, and you're already forgetting about me?"
“Passenger Hua Wu, although this is your privacy, I still want to say... Won't that Lord of Annihilation be saddened by your betrayal?” Pam delivered a powerful straight punch to Hua Wu’s conscience.
"Well, you've changed too, conductor."
Chapter 154 Hua Wu: So what if it's the Amber King's Holy Body? I'll wear it, so what?
"I've taken care of her matter. This time it's really resolved, conductor."
Pam sighed, "I heard everything. Are you going to go to Yalilo with them to explore, Pam?"
Hua Wu shook his head and said, "I'm not busy right now. I haven't even warmed my seat yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Ding-dong————"
"Hmm? Your period's started?"
Hua Wu opened his phone and saw that it was a text message from Ji Zi.
Himeko & Kagami —
Himeko: Come to the train hall.
Hua Wu: A new side quest?
Himeko: I just have a few questions I want to ask you.
Hua Wu: Just ask directly.
Himeko: It's better to talk about these things face to face.
Hua Wu: You're being so mysterious. Then come find me in the corridor.
Himeko: There are security cameras in the hallway installed by that child. Your actions just now were captured on camera.
Hua Wu: Xing An?
Himeko: Yes, that kid thought the train was unsafe, so he installed surveillance cameras.
Hua Wu: Whatever, it doesn't matter. Watch if you want. Just don't let it get to the Immortal Ship.
Hua Wu: Okay, okay, I'll come over.
Hua Wu put away his phone and looked at the clock on his wrist. "One minute... It's only been one minute since Xing Xiao left, and I've already received my next mission... This is a bit nerve-wracking. I feel like I shouldn't be in the car; I should be in the courtyard. I should be sleeping a little longer at the Shence Mansion."
"Forget it, there's no point in staying here except to sleep. Pam, here's the light cone for you, and as for your little cake, you can pay in installments."
Hua Wu dumped the entire set of light cones he had learned about Luofu tourism—entering the Immortal Ship, beating Huanlong, beating Fenfeng, knocking out Jingyuan, beating the blind Chiming, beating the Medicine King's Secret Transmission, attempting to beat the Dragon Master, beating Yanqing, beating Yanqing, torturing Yanqing, training Yanqing, and sleeping with Yanqing—onto Pam all at once.
Pam stared at the stack of light cones, swallowed hard, and said, "Passenger Hua Wu, this..."
"You don't think that's too much, do you? Train conductor, this won't do. You have to keep all these pioneering memories and watch them like a TV series."
After Hua Wu finished speaking, he left the train corridor. As for those video cones... Pam lost the desire to watch some of them after seeing the cover.
Pam watched the departing figure, then looked at the cone of light before her. "This [expansion]... is exceptionally violent."
Train Hall ————
Hua Wu appeared in the train hall and looked at Himeko on the sofa, saying, "I'm here. What do you want to say? But I'll make it clear beforehand that we'll save the sad stuff for tomorrow."
Himeko took a sip of her coffee. "It's not something sad, I just wanted to ask what your relationship is with that Lord of Annihilation named Xingxiao."
Hua Wu looked somewhat surprised. "You saw it?"
Himeko continued, "I told you, Hoshi installed surveillance cameras in the corridor."
Hua Wu glanced at the message on his phone and said casually, "It's somewhat related."
Himeko put down her coffee and said, "Hua Wu, be more specific."
"It hasn't reached that stage yet, but I've almost successfully turned them to the side," Hua Wu said casually. "Why are you asking this? You don't think..."
Himeko shook her head. "The nameless guest didn't betray us; there was only getting off the train or not. The main issue was seeing you and that high-ranking official on the security footage..."
While replying to Diamond's messages, Hua Wu said to Himeko, "It was just a hug, right? It's normal. A few days ago in March, I was told to win her over. But I didn't expect that she would win herself over."
"Is that so? I understand, but I still have to remind you, the Lords of Destruction are capricious, and some of them will destroy a planet or even an entire ecosystem on a whim." Himeko earnestly advised, and Hua Wu felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, as if these words were directed at him.
He used to be too eager for quick success, chasing after abundance, and using that combo skill, so if you look at it that way... Although he didn't do anything when he was a Great Khan, he did everything when he was a General.
"It's nothing, I'm going back to my online meeting. Diamond keeps bothering me." Hua Wu put away his phone and returned to his room.
Looking at the projection coordinates forwarded by Diamond, Hua Wu immediately created a virtual projection.
company----
A female projection said calmly, "Is everyone here?"
Another, somewhat hunched projection said, "No, Taravan is not here."
Diamond was the only one present. "Taravan... don't worry about him. He sent Vi to the meeting in his place."
Oswaldo Schneider's projection lazily said, "They're all ether projections... What difference does it make whether he appointed them or not? Let's finish this quickly. I still need to transfer the assets on those planets to the company before the Legion's madmen do it."
Another old-school projection appeared at this moment, addressing Oswald's projection: "You have betrayed 'Preservation,' Oswald."
