Chapter 114: A Tragic Time
Chapter 114: A Tragic Time
Feeling the warmth from Lei Yaotian’s palm, the girl felt very peaceful inside. With Lei Yaotian’s hand stroking her cheek through the touch of their skin, her violent and lonely heart gradually calmed down.
“Mii… mii…”
The girl rested her head on Lei Yaotian’s thigh, her small body curled up into a ball. Her long, black hair, which reached down to her waist, spilled onto the floor, covering her small frame.
She gently held Lei Yaotian’s hand and placed his palm against her cheek. The girl squinted her eyes contentedly, slowly turning her little head so that she could rub her cheek against Lei Yaotian’s hand.
It seemed like this was her intimate way with Lei Yaotian.
“Can you understand what I’m saying?”
Lei Yaotian thought this wasn’t a good plan—his waist was hurting terribly. He couldn’t just sit here like this forever; he had to get out first, no matter what.
So, Lei Yaotian endured the pain and spoke a sentence to the girl.
“Woo… yah…”
Hearing Lei Yaotian speak, the girl opened her eyes and looked at him with great confusion.
Clearly, the girl did not understand Lei Yaotian’s words.
“Is today my day of suffering?” Lei Yaotian lifted his head with a pained expression and looked up at the ceiling.
Lei Yaotian moved his arm, wanting to retrieve the hand that the girl was holding.
As if sensing that Lei Yaotian wanted to take back his hand, the girl suddenly tightened her grip on Lei Yaotian’s wrist, not wanting him to escape her grasp.
“Crack—” A crisp sound echoed in the laboratory.
Lei Yaotian’s left wrist twisted unnaturally, dangling down in a very strange way.
Intense pain took a short while to travel to Lei Yaotian’s pain nerves, and waves of sharp agony continuously assaulted his brain…
Ahhhhhhh—!!!
After letting out a loud scream, Lei Yaotian’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
“Young Master—!!”
Wangcai could no longer hold back. Streams of data flowed within his eyes. He pulled out Laser Rifles from the sides of his legs and rushed forward. “Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!” Before he even reached her, blue laser rays shot out from the gun barrels.
Lei Yaotian’s fainting also threw the girl into a panic. She didn’t understand why her closest person had suddenly fallen unconscious, and she felt a bit lost.
“Woo yah— woo yah—”
With a panicked expression, the girl grabbed Lei Yaotian’s shoulders tightly and shook him vigorously. It was as if she thought this would wake her dear one up. However, she had no idea that the more she shook him, the paler Lei Yaotian’s face became. As she shook him harder, white foam slowly started to seep from the corner of his mouth.
“The world spun, and it felt like everything kept turning upside down, then turning back again.”
That was all Lei Yaotian felt in his unconscious state.
At that moment, two laser beams had already reached the girl’s face, about to strike her head.
Just five centimeters away from her forehead, the two laser rays strangely halted in mid-air.
The girl put Lei Yaotian down and slowly stood up. She hung her head low, letting her black hair cover her face.
If Wangcai could see her expression, he would surely know that the girl was extremely sad right now.
The girl’s shoulders trembled, and large teardrops fell to the ground.
“Woo… yah…”
“Pop!”
The two laser rays shattered and scattered, disappearing into the air, like small fireworks blooming.
Wangcai repeatedly raised his hand and pulled the trigger, firing laser rays continuously at the girl.
But no matter what Wangcai did, when the laser rays reached about five centimeters from the girl, they could advance no further.
One after another, the laser rays shattered and scattered, sprinkling tiny blue light points around the girl’s body. Those were scattered laser energies, looking quite tragic and beautiful…
“Miiiiii—!!!!”
The girl suddenly lifted her head, staring fixedly at Wangcai.
Wangcai saw it clearly—after all, Wangcai was an Intelligent Lifeform, and his eyesight was very good.
Wangcai saw the strange pupils in the girl’s eyes contract, and then a powerful Energy storm gathered around her.
Wangcai could clearly sense the violent Primordial Origin quality of this Energy storm, which made him, an Intelligent Lifeform, feel somewhat afraid.
As an Intelligent Life, he did not really possess emotions like fear, nor did he understand them.
But today, this girl made Wangcai completely and thoroughly experience the meaning of the word ‘fear’.
The Space around the girl’s body continuously compressed, visibly forming a black hole that could swallow any matter at a speed discernible to the naked eye.
The crystal Fragments and liquids on the laboratory floor began to be slowly lifted from the ground by this black hole, eerily floating in the air.
Then the girl’s pupils expanded. “Boom!” The black Energy black hole instantly converged and then violently released, rushing toward Wangcai.
The black shockwave was extremely fast, reaching Wangcai in an instant. Wangcai had no time to dodge.
In that split second, Wangcai lifted his hand and threw his own head outward, but his body wasn’t so lucky.
The black Energy completely annihilated his body, even piercing through the metal wall behind him, creating a circular hole about one meter in diameter.
“Gulu gulu—”
Wangcai’s head rolled to the side, the data streams in his eyes gradually slowing down.
Now Wangcai suddenly felt an urge to cry, even though he didn’t know why he had this impulse. He just felt like having a good, long cry.
Of course, Wangcai had no tears…
The laboratory was a mess, with dozens of Cultivation Tanks shattered. Pale green liquid covered the floor, and the beings inside the Cultivation Tanks, now that the tanks were destroyed, slowly lost their life signs as they lost the substances that sustained their lives.
Wangcai was left with only a head, and that was only because he was an Intelligent Lifeform. Otherwise, he would have been finished just then.
His life core was located in his brain. If he lost his body, Lei Yaotian could just find him a new one. But if his head was destroyed, then Wangcai would truly be done for.
However, for now, Wangcai had temporarily lost his Combat Power.
Lei Yaotian had fallen into a deep coma…
The one who caused all this, the girl around thirteen or fourteen years old, was now kneeling painfully before Lei Yaotian, continuously shouting ‘yiyiyaya’ loudly.
The Artificial Human Soldiers did not come because when Wangcai conducted experiments, the laboratory often had a lot of commotion.
So, those Artificial Humans thought Wangcai was just doing another experiment this time and didn’t pay much attention.
How could they know that a fierce incident had just taken place in the laboratory?
In the kitchen, Monica was humming an unknown little tune, happily preparing dinner.
Suddenly, she felt a pang in her heart. “Clang!” The metal utensil in her hand fell to the ground.
Monica’s expression stiffened, and she rushed out of the kitchen like the wind, arriving outside.
Monica looked around with a tense face, then closed her eyes to sense for a moment. After that, she quickly ran toward the laboratory…
Because Lei Yaotian had undergone Fusion with Monica’s Crystal Core, there was a more or less spiritual connection between them.
Although this connection wasn’t very strong, for Monica it was enough.
Very quickly, Monica arrived outside the laboratory door. The Artificial Human Soldiers opened the Metal Gate, and Monica hurried inside.
But the moment Monica entered, she felt the uneasy feeling in her heart grow stronger.
“Soldiers!”
Monica shouted.
“Commander!”
The Artificial Human Soldiers waiting outside responded.
“Immediately gather all personnel, fully armed and assemble!”
Monica commanded loudly, feeling tense.
“Yes, Commander!”
“Please, don’t come in!”
Monica’s voice reached Wangcai’s ears. He quickly shouted, telling Monica not to gather those Artificial Human Soldiers to charge in.
If so many people rushed in, who knew if it would stimulate that terrifying little monster again.
Given the little monster’s power, if she really unleashed her strength, no one in the Base would be her match.
Moreover, the Young Master’s condition was not looking good right now. Saving the Young Master had to be the top priority.
So Wangcai, with only a head left, shouted toward the outside of the door.
“Lord Butler, what exactly happened!?”
Monica knew there must be trouble in the laboratory, otherwise, Lord Butler wouldn’t say such things.
“Don’t ask too many questions. All of you, back off. No one is to come in, absolutely do not come in!”
Wangcai was terribly afraid that these people’s intrusion would provoke the anger of the little monster beside Lei Yaotian.
Monica had no choice but to slowly retreat along with the Artificial Human Soldiers.
“Clang—”
The Metal Gate slowly closed, and the laboratory returned to calm.
“Hey, little one.”
Wangcai called out to the grief-stricken girl.
The girl knelt beside Lei Yaotian, continuously sobbing, and paid no attention to Wangcai’s call.
“Damnit!”
Wangcai cursed under his breath.
…
The girl slowly moved closer to the unconscious Lei Yaotian. She sobbed while quietly looking at his twisted wrist. She looked very carefully and quietly, and suddenly she seemed to understand something.
She lifted her own hands and looked down at them for a while.
Then she reached out her hand again, but this time she wasn’t so forceful. She was very, very careful, gently shaking Lei Yaotian.
“Woo… yah… woo mii…”
After shaking him a few times, Lei Yaotian still did not wake up.
The girl’s expression became even more pained.
It seemed she realized that all these consequences were caused by her own actions, and her ‘closest person’ had become like this because of her.
So, the girl’s face showed expressions of regret and pain, and her large eyes continuously shed tears.
