It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

What happened?

Just as I was about to go over to rescue her, the saint lady in front of me suddenly raised her head.

Her tone was more mechanical than ever.

"Begin execution, the second-level judging process."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 297 When did you become so kind?

2023-10-22

Ok?

Hearing the cold, mechanical words of the Saint Lady, Xu Shi frowned.

Obviously, she is no longer herself now, but Niu Hulu Saint... Well, no, it is the person behind her who appeared and chose to meet herself in this way.

However, I'm not really surprised.

Because Xu Shi had long wanted to get in touch with people from "Heavenly Principle", but he never had the chance.

If there is no opportunity, create one. Testing the other party's bottom line also involves this element.

Just now, he actually thought, if he killed the Saint Lady with a single blow, would "Justice of Heaven" appear because the "Supervisor" was killed?

Don't ask why He Yuxia wasn't killed. Doing such a thing on someone else's territory is always better than doing it on your own territory.

However, he didn't expect that the other party would show up on their own initiative, which saved him a lot of trouble.

This also indirectly illustrates another thing - "Heavenly Law" is probably always watching us from behind the scenes, or monitoring every experimental field.

If the situation is not right, you can intervene by forcibly occupying the consciousness of the "Supervisor".

This might be something that even the "Supervisors" themselves don't know.

But this is not the point.

The key is how to communicate with them.

"Can you still talk?"

Xu Shi looked into the dark eyes of the Saint Lady, reached out and patted her face, "If you can, let me know."

"The secondary evaluation process is in progress."

The Saint Lady didn't say a word, but just repeated this sentence mechanically.

...It feels so numb.

It was like a punch hitting cotton, and I felt like cursing.

But since communication was fruitless, he had no other choice. Using the "threshold space" to force oppression was also in vain. It seemed that the only thing he could do was to wait.

We can't just give up this hard-earned opportunity, right?

The waiting time was extremely long, but luckily this was his own territory and he could do whatever he wanted. He simply changed the pen and started drawing a beard for Miss Saint.

What else can you do?

Strip her naked?

I'm really sorry. Even if Boss Xu is not a human being, he has no interest in doing such a tasteless thing. It would damage his image.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Miss Saint suddenly stood up.

“The secondary judging process has been completed.”

She said slowly.

Xu Shi also stood up and held his breath unconsciously.

"According to our assessment, a serious plot deviation has occurred in area 0754."

"It went into corrections judgement... it did not meet the corrections criteria."

"Going into the restart judging... it doesn't meet the restart criteria."

"Entering the destruction judgment...does not meet the destruction criteria."

"Entered the abandoned judgment...passed."

"Abandon area 0754."

Hearing Miss Saint's emotionless broadcast, Xu Shi felt mixed emotions.

All he can say is that the way things are now is of course out of his control, so he is rarely nervous. If an iron fist really comes from the sky, like what happened to "Tianhe" and "Refraction" ten years ago, with a dimensionality reduction attack that directly wipes them out, that would definitely be the result he least wants to see.

After all, if something like this really happened, they might not even have time to retreat, and would most likely lose everything here.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. If "Heavenly Law" really has such power, he will not be able to escape it no matter what he does.

So he could only improve himself and everything around him as much as possible, and try hard to dig out more about this mysterious organization - he didn't care whether he lived or died, he was just afraid of dying inexplicably.

Fortunately, the so-called "judgment of destruction" did not seem to be passed, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

but……

"Abandonment?"

This answer was a bit too vague, which made him ask out loud subconsciously, wanting to seek a more in-depth explanation.

"… Area 0754 has been abandoned. Maintain the current status. Disable observation mode. Disconnect the link with the Supervisor and erase the will. Destroy the collected data."

The Saint Lady paused and uttered these words slowly.

It is hard to say whether this is their response or just a procedure, but the hidden meaning of this sentence is easy to understand.

Is this... giving the Hualan Empire the cold shoulder? Letting it fend for itself or something like that?

That means, from now on, this land has nothing to do with "heavenly principles"?

Damn, how come such a good thing doesn’t happen to the City of Night Sin?

After all, no one wants their life to be under invisible surveillance at all times, and Xu Shi is certainly no exception.

So, from his perspective, it was definitely a relief.

Damn, if Night Crime City could also have such treatment, Boss Xu wouldn’t mind enduring a little more hardship and become a master of explosions to lead everyone to the moon.

However, for this world, it is obviously unrealistic to reach the moon. There is a "rust fog" blocking the way, and even a decent aircraft cannot be built... Even if the Hualan Empire is really not under the control of "heaven", this is an inevitable fact.

and so.

The most urgent thing is to find a way to talk to them again.

"I know you can see what I do, so don't play dead."

He patted Miss Saint's face again, "I killed your designated protagonist Shen He, don't you want to chat for a while? At least let me know whether you are human or ghost, right?"

These words seemed to have some effect, and the Saint Lady's dispirited pupils actually focused a little.

"…After knowing our situation, what do you want to do?"

After struggling for a moment, she responded.

"Of course I'll catch you and kill you."

Xu Shi’s answer was unusually sincere. “Don’t tell me you’re scared. If you’re really scared, just commit suicide. It’s not shameful at all.”

“…an incomprehensible request.”

Miss Saint tilted her head and spoke calmly after a moment.

Xu Shi rolled his eyes secretly, it seems that provoking the opponent is not working.

"Let's get practical. How long have you existed? And who founded this organization?"

He changed his approach and started to speak directly.

But unfortunately, this method doesn't work either.

"The will of the Overseer has been erased, and the consciousness link is about to be disconnected."

The Saint Lady's voice gradually became weaker and her body softened again.

"Hey……"

Xu Shi tried to call a halt, but there was no way to stop it. He could only watch her turn into ashes bit by bit and disappear in this space of consciousness.

Boss Xu is not unfamiliar with this method. The Night Sin City also has the technology to force the cyborgs to self-destruct.

But he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy that the little clue he had finally found was gone.

But things have already happened. There is no point in yelling and cursing. It won't change anything.

All he can do is to release the "liminal space" and return to reality from the spiritual realm.

The flow of time in reality is a little slower, but when his consciousness returned, the battle in the church had already ended.

Without the control of their leader, Miss Saint, the people of the Holy See were instantly leaderless, and the outcome was self-evident.

All Xu Shi's side needed to do was to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.

"Master? How are you?"

Su Lin had been staying by his side all the time, and when she saw him come back to his senses, she asked hurriedly.

"It's alright, don't teleport so violently next time... hm?"

Xu Shi calmed himself down, but found that other people were looking at him strangely.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

He subconsciously touched his face and asked curiously.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, because the strange look was not actually directed at him, but at the legitimate wife beside him.

At first the scene was chaotic and no one paid attention. It was not until those puppetized Vatican officials fell down one after another that they realized belatedly that some people had taken advantage of their convenient position to secretly kiss each other several times.

Su Lin, you have lost all your dignity! Everyone is fighting, and you are flirting here? What kind of nymphomaniac are you?!

Again, when it comes to sharing, people may not have any objections, but sneaking around will always be an act that will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Director Su turned his face away as naturally as possible. He felt a little guilty, but he really couldn't help it.

Who made the young master so cute in that state just now? He looked stupid...

Not to mention that it had been a long time since she and Xu Shi had been together. Even when they kissed, she had some sense of shame and restraint. Otherwise, she would have just done it right away and had fun.

Don't even mention that we're still fighting. Once the enemy's main general is down, why would we bother to do anything else? I can clean up the battlefield.

"…It's nothing. I just rarely see you being silly, so I find it a little funny."

In the end, it was Jiang Chengcheng who broke the awkwardness. She answered with a sweet smile and helped her best friend out of the predicament.

These two people are quite important, and after hearing her trying to smooth things over, the others had no choice but to keep quiet.

Only Xie Qingyan couldn't help rolling her eyes. She knew that you, Jiang Chengcheng, had done similar things before, such as taking secret photos when Xu Shi was distracted... It should be said that you and Su Lin are good sisters, birds of a feather.

"Have the casualty statistics been released?"

Xu Shi didn't pay too much attention to the weirdness between the girls and went straight to the point.

"OK."

Of course, he didn't need to worry about such things. As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Ling came over and started to report.

Perhaps it was because the control of the Saint Lady was suddenly cut off, which caused the puppetized Vatican personnel to be disconnected as well. They were killed directly and could not be rescued.

I can only say that it fits the fate of cannon fodder.

But there are still survivors.

Lu Baiyan and Han Jingchuan were deliberately held back by Ye Shanshan under Xu Shi's instructions. They fainted long before Miss Saint was pulled out for a duel.

This behavior saved their lives. As long as they receive adequate treatment, they will definitely wake up. It's just a matter of how long it will take.

Apart from them, there was only Qin Yiyan left. It had to be said that the silly red-haired girl was indeed a combatant. Even after being bombed like that by Tang Shuang, she managed to survive with her thick skin and flesh. It was just that the situation was not as optimistic as that of her two colleagues.

Xie Qingyan also gave her temporary treatment.

"When did you become so kind?"
