”What good will it do for you to deliberately anger me, Ah Ting?” In countless scenes, No 7’s gaze stayed fixed on Chi Ting as if examining him from all sides. “At this point, do you still hope to be able to shake a tree with an ant?”
The only response was a chuckle from Chi Ting. “What’s the matter? Just give it a try.”
He could feel a strong sense of suppression that enveloped him at the moment. Despite this, he snapped his fingers, and the densely packed army of phantoms around him all took action at the first opportunity.
All the superpowers exploded in an instant, penetrating through these real and fake figures at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.
Countless ‘No 7s’ were pierced through in an instant. Their bones shattered, and a black liquid like blood gushed out, gradually spreading in a deep space.
The dense light was gorgeous and rich. Under this powerful force that was enough to shock people, the voice of No 7, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, was still heard from time to time. “Since I met you, the only thing that hasn’t changed is your stubbornness. Ah Ting, when will you accept the reality? If you continue to consume your strength at this level, how long can you last?”
“Then it depends on my luck…” Chi Ting turned a deaf ear to the conversation. During the short conversation, countless afterimages shattered due to the dense supernatural power. The magnificent light curtain made his already fair skin look even more charming. There were continuous cracking sounds coming from this already unstable space. Only his tone was still light and casual. “At least, I think it shouldn’t take long…”
He suddenly laughed. “Look, I have found you.”
The moment these words came out, countless lights and shadows gathered in Chi Ting’s hands. The condensed red strands passed through countless images around them and stabbed straight in the diagonally opposite direction.
The extremely fast speed made it almost impossible for No 7 to react. He lowered his eyes and found that the seemingly soft red line was like the sharpest blade, piercing straight through his chest.
The bright red color, which was completely different from the black blood, instantly stained his clothes.
No 7 lowered his eyes and looked, his expression not showing any emotion at all.
The red thread that pierced his chest suddenly retracted, causing the blood at the corners of his mouth to disappear. However, his frown was filled with helpless sighs. “How can I make you understand… that you can never kill me here?”
The hand he placed on No 1’s shoulder shrank slightly.
A look of pain gradually appeared on No 1’s face.
The colorful optical fibers connected to his body suddenly burst out with a strange light. The light contracted for a short time. The surrounding space seemed to be extremely squeezed and finally exploded completely.
The invisible powerful force rushed towards Chi Ting. At this moment, it felt as if an indescribable force was rushing in and squeezing his brain, almost shaking his entire soul to pieces.
His tightly clenched hands made his joints look pale. Chi Ting’s whole body gradually curled up. He almost used up all his strength to keep himself standing there and not fall down.
The excessively powerful mental attack had left his vision in chaos. He gasped in panic, but he gritted his teeth and managed to maintain his remaining sanity in the strong taste of blood that spread in his mouth. The moment the red thread in his hand shot out again, the surrounding phantoms followed his lead and exploded in the direction of No 7.
The entire world around them was completely engulfed by the concentrated burst of white light. The phantom army’s full-force attack caused the entire space around them to shake slightly. After a loud crash, it finally collapsed to pieces.
Like the peeling of countless lenses, mottled cracks started to appear in the dark space that swallowed up everything.
All the residual images of No 7 collapsed. The dreamweaver tree towering to the top in the distance was gradually revealed. The light flowing on it seemed to flicker clearly for a moment with the wave.
Chi Ting’s body shook violently. In his gray vision, he had to concentrate very hard to barely see the situation in front of him.
However, it was clear that blood was oozing from the corners of No 7’s mouth. He had obviously suffered very serious injuries.
No 7’s voice was clearly deep. “Are you really not afraid of completely destroying this world?”
Chi Ting closed his eyes tiredly. Once he opened them again, he just chuckled. “Didn’t you say that it is impossible to kill you? If I can’t kill you, how can this world be destroyed so easily?”
There was a brief silence before No 7 spoke again, “I should’ve realized earlier that you are a complete lunatic…”
In response, Chi Ting just raised his eyelids lazily. “Thank you for the compliment.”
Under the intense overdraft, his shaky body could no longer support itself. He took a deep breath and sat down where he was.
He looked up again and stated casually, “You weren’t this tough before.”
No 7 was also seriously injured. However, as beams of light gathered around him, all the wounds could be seen healing gradually and visibly.
He laughed. “Without the authority, you can’t kill me. I didn’t expect that you could do this as a human being. Ah Ting, you are always able to surprise people. But listen to me. Just give up the resistance.”
Chi Ting chuckled softly.
He knew very well that No 7’s behavior wasn’t meant to create confusion.
If he was to concentrate all of the phantoms’ supernatural powers to launch an attack like he did just now, the damage would be enough to destroy the world, and the recoil to himself would also be huge.
Considering that he had just broken through such a piece of void space, it wasn’t impossible to kill this guy completely with one more blow. However, the greater probability was that, as No 7 expected, he would directly break through the threshold of alienation.
Originally, the reason why No 7 had been trying every means to force him to lose control was because this was the only way he could use Puppet Control to control Chi Ting. If his final attack completely failed now, it meant this guy had a chance to take advantage of the situation.
If he won, it would be a perfect ending. If he lost, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even have the chance to become an electronic pet as he talked about in the beginning.
If possible, Chi Ting would like to have other choices, but his gradually blurring consciousness had been reminding him that he had few opportunities left.
He slowly looked up and could clearly see countless optical fibers gradually emerging from the void around him, wandering and lingering, spreading towards his body bit by bit. The moment they touched, it was as if he was connected to the port in an instant. As waves of numbness came over him, he seemed to vaguely feel the pulse from the dreamweaver tree, which was the heartbeat and center of this unlimited world.
Again and again.
Abrupt, yet exceptionally clear.
It was an extremely clear feeling. His consciousness was gradually disappearing, and his body seemed to be continuously losing control.
…Tsk, why hadn’t that person come yet?
With his last bit of consciousness, Chi Ting slowly moved his fingertips.
In silence, the red thread on his wrist had densely intertwined countless circles. His eyelids lowered slightly.
There was a saying that went, ‘If you try hard, a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.’
If it really came to the last step, he was afraid there would be no other way.
No 7 was satisfied with Chi Ting’s current silence. “Very good. Have you finally figured it out?”
“Ah Ting, what are you dissatisfied with? Become the savior of the world, and I will make sure that everyone remembers your name.”
“Come, stand by my side and help me build a new world.”
“I will make you the most perfect piece of art in my hands.”
The whispering in his eyes seemed to be distant yet near. Chi Ting could feel that he must’ve reached the limit of his mental resistance.
The drooping fingertips gradually curled up in the silence. It seemed that he was about to concentrate all his strength. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. “Then I’m afraid it can only be said that you are dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period.”
The moment this voice sounded, the smile on No 7’s face disappeared.
The bloody color at the corner of his mouth already made his face extremely pale. His face was instantly gloomy when he saw the group of people who appeared with Lou Yueren.
It was like a piece of space cut open by the void. Lou Yueren’s figure walked out leisurely from it. His gaze changed slightly when he glanced at Chi Ting.
He stepped on the shadows cast by the dazzling light around him. The wandering shadow blades whizzed over and abruptly cut off the optical fibers wrapped around Chi Ting’s body like a living thing. He took a few steps forward and held Chi Ting in his arms. “Sorry, dear, I’m late!”
Chi Ting’s voice was a bit hoarse, but it was obvious that he was in a good mood after seeing Lou Yueren. “It isn’t too late. I’m not dead yet.”
Lou Yueren coughed softly. “You sound a bit dirty when you say this.”
As he said this, he slowly leaned over and left a very gentle kiss on the other person’s lips.”But that apology is true. Fortunately, I caught up, or else…”
“Or else?”
Lou Yueren smiled with a deep look in his eyes. “Otherwise, I will definitely let this d*mn unlimited world be buried with you.”
Chi Ting: “.”
He was about to say something else when he heard someone beside him say, “You two should just stop doing this. Can you please consider that there is a minor here?”
Lou Yueren was slightly shocked. “Are you considered a minor?”
The speaker paused suspiciously. “If we only talk about physical age… of course.”
Chi Ting: “………”
Lou Yueren’s appearance just now was somewhat pretentious to the extreme, so much so that Chi Ting didn’t pay attention to the other figures who walked out of the broken space after him.
He looked up, and the first thing that caught his eye was the familiar figure standing in front of him.
After meeting this gaze, the disgusted expression on No 3’s face subsided a bit. “But it really isn’t his fault that he is late. If we have to blame someone, blame those unreliable guys who are addicted to traveling. It is also good luck that we were able to find them in time. Otherwise, if there was a delay, it is possible that the happy trip would’ve turned into a world tour funeral.”
The other designers who were suddenly called out: “……”
No 3 was still wearing an exquisite Lolita outfit. She tapped the ground lightly with the black umbrella in her hand. Finally, she slowly looked at the two figures not far away.
Her calm eyes finally showed a distinct emotion when they fell on No 1. “In fact, something was wrong when we met last time. I should’ve thought of it earlier… But you were actually played to this extent by No 7. You really make me feel extremely disappointed, my stupid father.”
Unfortunately, the empty-faced No 1 was obviously unable to give her any response.
This made No 3 sigh silently. Her expressionless face was full of displeasure. She asked the person next to her coldly, “Now that all the designers are here, No 7, you have deceived us for so long. Isn’t it time to say something?”
As they stood face to face from a distance, the tense atmosphere was about to break out.
From the moment these designers appeared, the emotions in No 7’s eyes flickered. At this moment, he finally spoke slowly. He said to Chi Ting, “You know they would come a long time ago.
In response to such an accusation, Chi Ting simply curled his lips up lightly. “You also think the movement is too slow, right?”
Lou Yueren was heartbroken. “…Stop scolding me. Dear, I was really wrong.”
