I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 130 - 129: Come with me, Yaha

Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Come with me, Yaha

Wei Tianyang came to his senses to find himself in a vast, black wasteland, momentarily uncertain whether he had teleported or was dreaming.

The rain had stopped, and a deep breath brought the fragrance of wet soil into his nostrils.

Glancing down at Yaha in his arms, Wei Tianyang was surprised to find she had woken up and was rubbing her bald wrist against his neck.

The wound that had been torn open on her wrist had miraculously healed, leaving no trace of stitches or scars, as smooth as if she had been born without hands.

Wei Tianyang pushed the white hair sticking to her cheek aside and wiped the raindrops from her nose.

"Yaha?" he whispered her name gently.

Yaha flashed her signature radiant smile, though her eyes lacked their usual luster.

"Fly~ Fly~ Hee hee~ Big wings~" Yaha giggled foolishly, rubbing her bald wrist across Wei Tianyang’s face.

"Yaha... do you remember me? I am... Ishmael." Wei Tianyang grabbed her wrist, a wave of sadness rising in his heart.

Though she was still alive, she was no longer really there.

"Fly~ Fly~ Such big wings~" Yaha laughed, Wei Tianyang’s reflection somber and gloomy in her tea-colored pupils.

Wei Tianyang gazed at his surroundings, seeing nothing but black soil and the green hills outside Wuliang City; the cityscape that had been by his side was erased.

He recalled the sights he had seen when he was engulfed in great rage.

What was that barely perceptible shadow on the actual moon? And who were the owners of the myriad eyes hidden behind the blood-colored galaxy, deep in space?

Wei Tianyang couldn’t find answers, but one thing he was sure of was that 091, the incomplete giant, and that moth were inside him.

He had briefly become it and used the moth’s eyes to see things that were invisible to humans.

The things he could borrow were not limited to their powers. In the actual reality, Wei Tianyang could freely fly around as a moth, but this was his first time becoming that giant.

Everything around him had been annihilated. The destructive power of the giant must not be underestimated. He needed to use this power cautiously, or... perhaps it would be best not to use it at all... This power only brought meaningless destruction... for it erased not only the PMC... but also millions of residents of the city...

He remembered that after he had turned into the giant, Yaha had appeared as a point of light in the actual reality. Suddenly thinking this, Wei Tianyang realized he had never tried to bring others into actual reality.

Could it be done?

Holding Yaha, he tried to enter the actual reality, and the soil beneath his knees turned into a chitinous structure, with the blood-colored galaxy revealing itself again.

Yaha’s cheeks were glowing crimson under the dark red sky. She did not turn into a white point of light but maintained her appearance from the subjective reality.

This gave Wei Tianyang some solace. There is no concept of time passing in actual reality, and very few could enter it, let alone with the freedom he possessed.

Yaha would be safe here, allowing Wei Tianyang ample time to think of a way to heal her.

He took Yaha out of actual reality and lightly touched his earpiece, trying to contact Lin Yanqing, but there was no sound.

Thus, Wei Tianyang walked toward the place where Lin Yanqing and Li Songyan were in ambush, holding Yaha.

After making a fuss for a while, Yaha fell asleep in his arms, like a 5-year-old child. After losing her hands and sustaining severe injuries, her consciousness and memory had been wiped away along with that tragic past.

Before he reached the top of the hill, a soaking-wet Lin Yanqing and Li Songyan came down to find him.

"You actually found me," said Wei Tianyang.

"It’s hard not to find you. The whole city is gone. You’ve done something... that I can’t even assess," said Li Songyan, looking somewhat bewildered.

Seeing Wei Tianyang holding Yaha, something seemed to dawn on Lin Yanqing... her memory of the boy who had brought a badly burned little girl to the refugee camp began to overlap with Wei Tianyang...

"It’s you... you..." Lin Yanqing choked out.

"What?" Wei Tianyang turned to look at Lin Yanqing. Her eyes were red, her mouth covered, as if she wanted to cry.

If what Li Songyan said was true, then Wei Tianyang might have just erased millions of lives. Given Lin Yanqing’s disposition, it indeed would be a cruel and intolerable act, so her reaction made sense.

Trembling, Lin Yanqing turned away and walked off, leaving Wei Tianyang and Li Songyan behind.

"Women are more emotional, and... she’s also a doctor... so..." Li Songyan said.

Although he put it this way, the destruction caused by Wei Tianyang was far beyond his comprehension.

No bomb could simply be dropped to erase a city, but Wei Tianyang had done it... and thoroughly.

He was now the world’s most destructive bomb, appearing merely as a 16-year-old boy.

"I will make no excuses," Wei Tianyang said.

"There’s no need... I have no right to judge you, and it is pointless to assess this... Damn it... I don’t know what the United Council and the nations of the world will think of you now," Li Songyan said.

"I don’t care..." Wei Tianyang shook his head.

"You can’t not care. The worst outcome would be for those major powers to jointly activate emergency plans and completely erase you," Li Songyan said.

"I don’t care! All of this was caused by them! If they dare to come, I will do it again!" Wei Tianyang raged.

"Don’t give me that crap, Wei Tianyang. You think they’d send ground troops? No, no... They will deploy air gunboats and rocket brigades, bombarding your location from thousands of kilometers away with saturation bombing! You’ll become a global public enemy!" Li Songyan said.

"It’s this fate that chose me, Li Songyan... I didn’t insist on taking this road." Wei Tianyang said.

Lin Yanqing was on the side, still engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Wei Tianyang... not a demon, nor a hero.

He was a man-made tragedy.

Lin Yanqing turned to look at Wei Tianyang, her feelings complex. She pitied him yet also despised him, wanting to help him yet also feeling aversion.

At this moment, her cell phone vibrated. The screen displayed an encrypted number, a secure satellite call from the upper echelons of Yin Country.

Lin Yanqing turned off the Bluetooth and disconnected the link with her watch before answering the phone and moving a little farther away.

"Comrade Lin Yanqing, I’m so glad you picked up! Satellites captured Wuliang City being erased by an unknown force field; we feared you had been sacrificed!" It was the minister.

"Minister... I’m all right, as is the United Council’s Li Songyan," Lin Yanqing said.

"That’s wonderful, wonderful... What about the others? Have you seen any other survivors?" the minister asked.

"They’re all dead... gone, all annihilated by Wei Tianyang. Minister, the threat level of Wei Tianyang..." Lin Yanqing said.

Before she could finish, the minister cut her off.

"Where is he? After you contacted him, he didn’t show any hostility, did he?" the minister asked again.

"No..." Lin Yanqing said.

"No resistance and hostility is good... Keep him stable, don’t leave his side, and don’t let Li Songyan take him away, remember! Even if he has to testify in court, we must keep him under our control. This is the organization’s next mission for you!" the minister said.

"Minister, what should I do?" Lin Yanqing said.

"The organization has given you special clearance. I’ll send you a global payment account in a little while. Bind it to your phone and do everything in your power to bring him back. If necessary, you must bring him back even at the cost of your dignity!" the minister said somewhat excitedly.

"Minister! You... you saw it too... he erased a city, he’s dangerous!" Lin Yanqing mustered her courage to say.

"Comrade Lin Yanqing! The moment for Dayin to test you has arrived! The moment to prove your loyalty to Emperor Yin has arrived! You mustn’t indulge in meaningless thoughts there! All we need is for you to complete the mission!" the minister barked.

"Yes... yes... Understood," Lin Yanqing said, lowering her head.

"Comrade Lin Yanqing," the minister’s tone softened again.

"We can’t send a plane to pick you up from Chicken Snake Country right now; it could lead to gossip. Wei Tianyang is now under global scrutiny, everyone wants him, especially... after showing such strength... But as you know, erasing a city is enough to convict him of crimes against humanity... So, bringing him back has to be done in a way that leaves no trace for others to find. You’ll probably also face assassination and attacks from hostile forces, but you must overcome these difficulties," the minister said.

"I understand... Minister, I’ll definitely bring Wei Tianyang back," Lin Yanqing said.

She hung up the phone, her mood complex as she looked towards Wei Tianyang.

At that time, Lin Songyan was discussing with him the matter of testifying in court.

"...Hard to say, I think it will be difficult for you to travel between countries now. A decision on how to handle you will probably come out soon," Li Songyan gloomily said.

Lin Yanqing walked over and said, "Wei Tianyang, I’ll take you back. The Yin Country will pressure the United Council about the court; you don’t have to worry about that."

As soon as she said this, Li Songyan’s expression changed.

"Wait a minute... he... he’s going with you?" Li Songyan asked.

Lin Yanqing nodded, offering no explanation.

"Hey! This isn’t... this isn’t right," Li Songyan stammered, without his phone, unable to contact the organization or make any promise.

"After all, he has to testify in international court. Now that this has happened, I imagine the international community is already in chaos. Let him rest in Yin Country for a while during this time," Lin Yanqing said.

"You can’t just swoop in like this! Either lend me your phone... I need to call the United Council!" Li Songyan said urgently.

Lin Yanqing smiled and remained silent.

Watching the two of them argue, Wei Tianyang was uninterested and slowly walked forward, holding Yaha.

The sky cleared for a moment, then began to drizzle again. He covered Yaha with his coat, saying with a smile, "Getting wet like this, you might catch a cold, right?"

The weather was so cold and gloomy, just like the day he lost his mother.

There was nothing left in this country worth remembering.

In the veil of rain, Wei Tianyang led the way, with Lin Yanqing and Li Songyan following behind, the three of them walking towards the hill in the black wilderness.

Looking at Yaha in his arms, he secretly decided to find a way to heal her.

"After all, with nowhere to go, come with me, Yaha."

This day was January 19, 2107.
