"Qingcheng, Meihualing," the person at the control center took a deep breath, "How is it possible... that it was hijacked by an external connection?"
"Retrieve the launch code," Yan Chu said calmly, "Look carefully."
In fact, Yan Chu had keenly noticed the errant missile as early as when the launch silo began to operate.
From the perspective of Neuromancer, the missile is controlled entirely from his first-person perspective from the moment it is launched to the moment it hits the target, so there is no possibility of missing any of them.
As early as that time, he discovered that the field of view of one of the missiles was invaded and it flew to the inside of the Great Wall.
He did not stop it because he had already retrieved the message in that line of code.
"...I'll borrow your missiles to fight the bad guys. Xiaohua the breeder will stay..."
The voice of the command center trembled when it read out that line of message. They seemed to have never expected that [Sky Eye] would be invaded one day.
"This... How is it possible... Although it is just a lower-level system of the [Sky Eye], but..."
If the intruder did not leave a note, they probably would not be able to retrieve it.
Who is the one who can invade the launch silo?
"..."
However, Yan Chu was not panicked at all - he knew who the hostage was, and he asked the command center to find him out just to strengthen their awareness of protection and correct their carelessness:
"If the hijacked system is the superior system of the Sky Eye, when 1,856 factor-energy nuclear bombs fall on Qilang, our civilization will be destroyed in an instant."
Yan Chu's voice was very calm, without any harshness in it. It was more like he was kindly explaining truths to a child who was ignorant of the world.
But his voice was still eerie. The entire command center listened to it with bated breath, not daring to make a sound.
"Although it is almost impossible to hack into the superior system of the Sky Eye, you lost your guard, which was a mistake."
"General Yan! We! We are willing to accept any punishment! We will definitely find the intruders, arrest them, and then -"
"No need, that missile is for us, the invader is a friend."
Yan Chu said calmly that in fact, when the missile reached Meihualing, he had already used Neuromancer to regain control of it for safety reasons.
When he saw the Kraken emerging from the clean water lake, he instantly knew what was going on, so he happily piloted the missile to crash into it.
[Qing Qiuling] said that she didn't need the assistance of [Sky Eye], but now it seems that the new friend is eager to try out the new toy.
"..."
Yan Chu turned around and looked at the prosperous and vibrant city inside the Great Wall.
A rare, fleeting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
......
"Haa ...
Du Jun ran desperately in the forest, cursing as he put all his strength into it.
This was much more effort than he usually had to use when sweeping the floor at the inn.
He couldn't understand why the Kraken would attack him with its huge tentacles.
He also didn't understand why the tentacles kept chasing him even after he had left the lakeshore.
Why! He joined the Black Tide Cult!
He is the one who is destined to change this corrupt country! Isn't the power of the Black Tide his power?
For many days and nights, he prayed that the black tide would sweep across the earth and destroy this country that made him despair.
And now, the thing he prayed for was chasing him, trying to drag him into the Black Lake as well.
"Fuck... you're a running dog too! You're a lowly creature too!"
"Stop chasing me... Stop chasing me! Damn it, I'm higher than all of you, how is it possible, how can I--"
Before Du Jun could finish his words, he tripped and fell to the ground like a dog chewing mud.
He turned his head and found that the dark tentacles had wrapped around his ankles, and then rolled up his thighs in a ten-thousandth of a second, binding him tightly.
“No...no...I don’t want to...I don’t want to die...I still have great goals to achieve...ahhhh..."
Du Jun struggled and screamed. He kicked his legs desperately, but found that he could not break free no matter what he did.
He felt so powerless, just like the past twenty years or so he had spent, unable to do anything.
“No…no…no…no…no…”
Du Jun's tears burst out of his eyes. He grabbed the ground with his hands without dignity, grabbing the land he had hated for more than 20 years.
The land did not hold him back, and he could not hold on, so he was dragged for dozens of meters, leaving ten trails of blood in the soil.
At this moment, he cursed the earth.
“Fuck…fuck…fuck…”
A dark shadow gathered behind him, and a small black lake appeared. That was his destination.
Just as Du Jun was about to fall into it, a blue light burst out——
"boom!"
Du Jun only felt the tentacles that bound him break apart. When he looked up, he saw an embroidered spring sword emitting blue light.
Following the embroidered spring sword, Du Jun saw those eyes, those black eyes.
It was Tian Shi. She was standing in front of Du Jun, looking down at him.
The two recognized each other at the same time - the corners of Du Jun's mouth twitched, and Tian Shi's quiet black eyes were slightly startled.
"...Run away, I'll handle this."
Tianshi's voice was relatively calm, but with a slight tremor.
Du Jun was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
His instinct told him that he should run.
But the one in front of him was Tianshi, the inferior mind he vowed to surpass.
Yes, she is just a low-level mind, but now she is pretending to be compassionate? Arrogant enough to think she can save me?
Instinctively, Du Jun's face twisted unsightly.
He stood up, looked down at the girl who was a head shorter than him, and shouted desperately:
"You low-class trash! Don't give me orders. Do you want to deprive me of my human rights? You running dog!"
4) Mountain Temple (Part 9)
Listening to Du Jun's roar, Tian Shi lowered her head with the corners of her mouth trembling.
She seemed to be suppressing something, with her head slightly lowered, so Du Jun couldn't see her expression clearly.
But Du Jun knew that Tianshi was trembling, which made him happy: this pretentious writer had never responded to him, but now he was trembling under his curse.
The joy of victory surged in his heart, and he shouted desperately:
"Only a running dog like you would want to be strictly controlled by the [Sea of Poetry]! Do you understand? Because you are a dog!"
"Do you like being suppressed? You damn bitch! You don't know anything!"
"You want me to be kept in the dark? No way! I'm telling you, I..."
As he insulted her, Tianshi's trembling became more and more frequent, and Du Jun knew that he had won.
He had destroyed the lackey's psychological defenses and he had won.
She would tremble in regret, oh yes, she would be devoured by the Kraken, used as food, and then -
“…Hehe…Hehehehe…”
Tian Shi's trembling suddenly turned into a laugh, the laugh was so frightening that Du Jun couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Wha…what?
Before he could react, he saw Tianshi raise her head, her calm face full of madness -
——She was trembling because she was trying to hold back her laughter.
"Hahahahaha, bastard, then go to hell!"
Tian Shi laughed loudly, and then Du Jun saw a fist growing bigger and bigger.
He felt a sharp pain on his face and felt himself flying out and spinning in the air.
The tentacles attacked again, wrapped around his fallen body, and dragged him into the black lake made up of shadows.
Watching Du Jun being devoured, Tianshi's laughter became more and more intense. She laughed non-stop, as if what she saw was the funniest thing in the world.
“Hahahahahaha… You actually think your words carry weight, you brainless thing, hahahahahahaha!!!”
Tian Shi laughed loudly, and the dark tentacles swallowed Du Jun and then swept towards her, as if to devour the girl's petite body.
But before they could touch Tianshi's body, a blue light burst out and instantly chopped the tentacles into pieces of meat.
The pieces of meat were broken by a figure in an instant—Tian Shi twirled the embroidered spring knife with one hand, with a happy smile on her crazy face:
“Hahahaha, die! Die!”
.......
With the cooperation of Carly and Perlis, the battle of the Pure Water Lake is about to come to an end.
After evacuating the disabled people, Carly continued to manipulate the [Ice Blue Light] to illuminate the blocks of the [Kraken] that were about to be repaired.
And Perlis continued to weaken the tentacles that had not yet been broken, one cut after another, dragging red arcs of electricity.
The Kraken obviously did not expect that it would be suppressed like this by two tiny individuals. It soon gained the upper hand and began to sink towards the Black Lake.
But Perlis would not give it this chance. As the Kraken sank, she pinched off the last two white flames.
The sound of the pendulum rang, time paused, and Perlis gathered all the factor energy on the body of the giant, condensing it into a long red line.
Perlis spun the butterfly knife, raised it above her head, and then chopped it down from above -
"bass--"
In an instant, all the exposed parts of the Kraken exploded and fell into the black lake.
Then, the dark lake water began to fade, and the sun once again shone through the lake, making the water surface crystal clear.
——It’s over. The Kraken has been repelled and severely damaged.
Even if the Black Tide Cult takes action again in a short period of time, it will not be possible to summon it.
"Success...success!"
When Perlis fell to the ground, she suddenly felt her legs go weak and she staggered back two steps.
Carly hugged her just in time and held her up.
"Did you overexert yourself? Did you use up all six white flames?"
"Hmm..." Perlis panted softly, "I'm so tired..."
Consuming all six white flames will cause a brief fatigue. This is the information that Perlis discovered when she was on vacation on the island.
The recovery process takes several minutes, so Perlis calculated the timing and used this move only when she was sure that she could severely damage the Kraken.
However... [Kraken] is really powerful... It only showed a corner, but it took so much energy to repel it...
If I were to encounter the perfect form head-on, I'd be hard to say...
Grandpa Hassanka can already exert earth-shattering power at the [Star Flame] level, but I'm still not strong enough...
There is also a gap between [Star Flame]...
However, this gap should be determined by the [Star Fragments] housed in the body, such as Halilali's [Crystal of Creation]. If used well, it can unleash very powerful power.
Just by thinking about the power of Loulan who possesses part of the [Crystal of Creation], Perlis can get a glimpse of Halilali's strength.
That's only 2/7 of the [Star Fragment]... Don't I have a complete [Pure White Firework]? Why am I not as good as my mother?
Perlis puffed up her cheeks slightly, and suddenly felt that she was a little lax in the development and understanding of her strength.
If it was Grandpa Hassanka or Mom, the Kraken of that level would have been easily dealt with.
I want to become stronger, even stronger, so that next time I won’t worry about not being able to protect Carly or Miss Sweet.
