Chapter 574: Chapter 571: "Su Ming’an is really handsome.

"What is that? A flying wheelchair?"

Rimu Sheng never expected that he would see a wheelchair flying in the sky today.

And reality told him, he was shocked too soon.

Suddenly, in the sky, the wheelchair moved, and small fragments of mechanical parts rose from behind at a rapid speed, assembling, merging, integrating...

The scene could only be described as "gathering sand into a tower."

Rimu Sheng’s usually calm and steady expression crumbled due to shock. His teammate Fang Yuan’s jaw dropped, and Qiuqiu exclaimed with a "Wow."

In their field of vision, streaks of azure brilliance flickered slightly at the four corners of the wheelchair. Several illusory shadows pulled at the mechanics into action, and behind the wheelchair, bullets were thrust into the chamber, the safety catch was instantly released, and the angle of the gun barrels tilted...

Accompanied by several "clicks" of assembly sounds, behind the wheelchair, massive firearms had risen.

Large shotguns, rows of ray guns, and light bullet guns flickering with a faint chill... In addition to these, a few heavy cannons had even been mounted on the sides of the wheelchair’s armrests, their dark muzzles almost stacked together.

At this moment, all of these gun barrels were already aimed at the area below where they were.

The cold metal behemoth exuded an aura of death from its gun barrels, and once they fired in unison, this garbage area might be leveled to the ground.

Like being targeted by the Grim Reaper, the footsteps of the hundreds of people retreating hesitated, many of them swallowing their saliva, their legs turning a bit weak.

Anyone targeted by firearms of this scale would have no escape and only death awaited them.

They had been locked in by death.

"Click."

A small crackling sound echoed, and below, the robot army’s firearms all failed to fire at that moment.

They attempted to execute the little girl by firing, but could only produce "click, click" sounds as the bullets in the chambers suddenly disappeared.

Drenched in cold sweat, Yamada Machiichi did not receive the barrage of bullets from the robot army as expected.

He looked up somewhat dazedly and saw the man in the wheelchair in the sky.

In the man’s hand was a fractured Crystal Stone. It was the breaking of this Crystal Stone that had caused the robots’ firearms to fail to fire. This was a new type of suppression weapon from Central City, capable of destroying metal items in a certain range.

The man was wearing an open white coat, showing the pure black armor underneath. The armor appeared exquisite, with a layer that almost seemed breathable like metal, looking expensive.

Since it wasn’t too far away, Yamada Machiichi could see the slightly long, jet-black hair scattered by the man’s ears and a metal silver-gray mask.

He could vaguely make out the thin and sharp contours of the man’s face and a pair of clear dark-gray eyes behind the mask holes.

—The man was sitting in the wheelchair.

Sitting in a wheelchair... floating in the air, ejecting flames from its tailpipe, with a mechanical beast of firearms assembled behind, it looked like a demonic creature.

Anyone who saw this scene would probably not consider it a wheelchair, but rather a monstrous firearm beast.

"Scanning attacker—scanning in progress... Scan has encountered an unknown error."

"Unidentified attacker M-02, please explain your reason for attacking us, otherwise, we will proceed with compulsory arrest," the robot army did not respond with surprise like the others, they were just mechanical products, reacting programmatically when attacked.

"Ask your boss for the reason," Su Ming’an said. "Xike, attack."

By "boss," he was referring to the Dawn System. He had the highest authority; no one could forcibly scan his identity unless he allowed it. And he could kill these robots without violating any laws.

AI Xike, upon receiving his order, immediately initiated the attack.

After a scalp-numbing vibrating sound, several firearms behind his wheelchair fired simultaneously, shooting various colors of light rays and bullets, emitting a piercing howl. Xike controlled the number of firing firearms, precisely targeting the area where the robot army was located to avoid accidentally injuring Yamada Machiichi next to them.

"Boom—!"

The power of the firearms was too fierce; the sturdy metal bodies of the robots were swept away by a few bullets like cream collapsing onto the ground, and in an instant, the twenty formidable robots were left with none remaining.

They had unfolded their Energy Shields in time, but were still riddled like sieves.

The bullets fell into the mountains of metal scrap, even melting a batch of metal; fragments flew wildly, and some energy beams, thick as water buckets, turned the small mound into nothingness, making the scene look exceptionally brutal.

"Phew..."

Accompanied by a clang of metal, those gun-like behemoths were rapidly and automatically disassembled and retracted, and with a flicker of blue light, the wheelchair reverted to its most original form.

Su Ming’an controlled the wheelchair, gently descending.

His white robe fluttered lightly as he descended, his metallic mask on his face casting an exceptionally cold gleam.

By his feet as he landed were the molten iron corpses of the robots.

Where his gaze fell, people stepped back, not daring to meet his eyes, as if they had seen a high-ranking being who commanded life and death.

They definitely could not withstand those firearms.

"...That guy, he must be from the Core Area of the City of Measurement," Rimu Sheng decided to retreat, and by now, he had given up on the resources in the containers: "He might even be from Central City. Too dangerous, we should not get involved in this part of the story, such a person is not easy to deal with."

Not far from the remote-controlled army squad, the high-end player squad from Feng City also chose to retreat.

Many recorded this scene, deciding to stay away from the man in the wheelchair.

Yamada Machiichi was stunned, watching the wheelchair land in front of him.

The man seated in the wheelchair had a silver mask on his face, suffused with a sunlight hue, his unfrozen, mechanical grey eyes stared at him, as if they were bathed in a layer of warm sun.

A moment later, the man with distinct knuckles raised his hand and tapped his Defensive Barrier.

"Thud thud."

Upon hearing the crisp sound, Yamada Machiichi realized and retracted his Defensive Barrier, which was still consuming Mana.

He felt his cheeks flush... it was an uncontrollable blushing, the scene of a God descending was so staggering, the thrill of escaping death made his fragile little heart flutter.

"You..." Yamada Machiichi began, but noticed the man was only looking at the girl nearby.

"Are you okay?" the man asked.

The girl opened her mouth, she was mute, unable to speak. She could only hold up her beautiful jade-colored eyes, and waved her hand as a sign of gratitude.

[You, Who, Are?] The girl communicated in sign language, which Xike translated out loud.

"Call me Lewis," the man said.

Yamada Machiichi blinked, his heartbeat quickening, feeling nervous in the presence of such a dangerous figure.

And at that moment, Yamada Machiichi heard a severe cough.

The man who called himself Lewis suddenly coughed up blood.

Only then did Yamada Machiichi notice—Lewis’s chest was completely stained with blood, only less noticeable because his undergarment was pure black.

...Was he suffering from some illness?

[I, Take, You, Home.] The girl’s hands moved nimbly: [My sister, Heal.]

"Is your home... in the Third Ring District?" Lewis inquired. After all, the girl had just run out from the direction of the Third Ring District.

[I have a home here in The Fringe as well.] The girl communicated through sign language.

"Okay," Lewis replied submissively, not at all like the ferocity he exhibited when wiping out the army of robots just moments ago.

The more gentle his temperament appeared, the more fearful Yamada Machiichi became. This person, who could’ve easily destroyed the area with his barrage of gunfire, was now showing an incredibly gentle demeanor.

Yamada Machiichi quietly opened the team chat and sent out a distress message.

[Yamada Machiichi (16:29): Help me!]

No sooner had he sent his message than his teammates immediately reacted.

[Noel (16:29): I’m in the Second Ring District of the City of Measurement, serving as the second-in-command of "Eden". I can control bionic people within a certain area. Yamada, state your location, and I’ll come right away.]

[Lu (16:29): Do you need help? I’m near the Third Ring District, currently following the Rebel Army’s movements.]

[Luna (16:29): I’m Captain of Squad Three in the "Hawk Hound" division, and can rally the Mechanical Army to support.]

The three teammates quickly reported their circumstances.

Coincidentally, not one of them was in the same faction as any of the others.

"Eden" was the bionic faction, responsible for Persona Tests and similar tasks.

"Hawk Hound" was a mechanical force led by some upright human captains tasked with exterminating criminals.

The "Rebel Army" needs no introduction; it’s the largest resistance organization.

...

[Yamada Machiichi (16:30): I’ve encountered someone who might be the big boss of the Ninth World. Although I can’t see his face clearly, he must be handsome. He just saved me... But could he be one of those researchers who appear gentle on the surface but are actually devils in disguise?]

[Yamada Machiichi (16:30): He smiled at me so gently. He wouldn’t have already seen me as a test subject, would he? I need help... Can you guys still spare the time to come?]

[Noel (16:31): You encountered the BOSS? Are you sure it’s the BOSS? The bosses of the world are always the most dangerous figures, either with Combat Power far surpassing ours or a direct Combat Power of 9999. What’s his name?]

[Yamada Machiichi (16:31): He smiled at me again... His name is Lewis.]

[Yamada Machiichi (16:31): If he didn’t have ulterior motives, why would he save me...]

...

[Su Ming’an (16:31): Smiling at you is just to calm you down, he means no harm.]

[Yamada Machiichi (16:31): Not necessarily. If he hides a blade behind his smile, it’s possible. Su Ming’an, where are you? Are you still in Central City? What are you doing?]

...

[Su Ming’an (16:32): ...]

[Su Ming’an (16:32): I’m smiling at you.]

...

Yamada Machiichi fell silent.

Su Ming’an was already contemplating studying Yamada Machiichi’s brain structure.

He knew that Yamada’s assumption that he must not be in the Fringe because he hadn’t shown himself in Central City, probably incapable of arriving in a short amount of time, was why Yamada didn’t think of him.

Yamada couldn’t guess that he could arrive here swiftly using spatial technology, nor could he imagine that he would take over a useless body that kept coughing up blood and couldn’t walk.

But during these three minutes, Yamada’s blushing face and his shyness... truly made him want to kick this man out of the squad to prevent endless trouble in the future.

He no longer paid attention to Yamada. Instead, he heard the favorability prompt of the girl in front of him.

"Ding Dong!"

[Key Figure Encountered: Dong An’an.]

[Favorability: 40 (Basic Favorability) +20]

[Please note: Each key figure carries a piece of the Dawn Code. Throughout the progress of the plot, you will gradually encounter the other four key figures. (There are five pieces of the Dawn Code in total)]

[You may use any means to make them hand over the Dawn Code they carry.]

...

Su Ming’an’s eyes lit up.

The effects of SS Charm were immediate; not only had he captivated Yamada Machiichi, but he had also instantly gained 20 points of favorability with Miss Dong An’an.

Fortunately, Acto hadn’t hidden the Dawn Code in some obscure corner, but rather within people—although he didn’t know how it should be "handed over from a person," it was surely better than scouring the entire world.

He looked around; the NPCs in the vicinity watched cautiously, with many already fearful enough to evacuate. They feared his presence that could easily annihilate them.

Only Dong An’an was still smiling at him. Her eyes, a beautiful green, were inviting him to visit her home.

Her smile was so pure, especially dazzling in such a filthy place.

He maneuvered his wheelchair forward with a ’clack-clack’ sound, effortlessly moving across the uneven landscape of trash mounds.

Yamada Machiichi followed behind, head lowered, the recent incident becoming a lifelong source of cringing shame.

Su Ming’an followed Dong An’an, feeling all the while like he was being watched.

There seemed to be eyes observing him everywhere he went, leading him to suspect these people might be the Rebel Army’s spies.

...It seemed the Rebel Army was doing quite well here, having eyes everywhere.

As they left the garbage district and approached the slightly better environment of the Fringe, the three were stopped by a young girl.

It was a tavern full of the smell of dust and wine. The girl stood at the entrance, with a thin sword emitting blue sparks hanging at her waist, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, her eyes clear and innocent.

The breeze carrying the scent of wine lifted her hair, the last rays of the setting sun caressing her lashes.

She watched the masked figure in the wheelchair, a spark of electricity fleeting across her gaze, while the console in her arms emitted a faint background noise.

After she stopped Su Ming’an and his companions, dozens of people holding old firearms surrounded them from all directions.

From the alleys, behind the trash heaps, inside the tavern, on the rooftops... they encircled Su Ming’an’s group, seemingly not intending to let them leave.

The girl approached Su Ming’an and said gently:

"Hello, the Rebel Army requests your presence."

"And what do they want with me?" Su Ming’an asked calmly.

"You repelled a Mechanical Army, that’s a favor to the people of the Fringe. The Rebel Army wants to share a drink with you," the girl replied.

Su Ming’an looked into her eyes.

She might not have recognized him, but he certainly recognized her.

In her arms lay the jump-jump-jump game that she had created in this world.

Because he hadn’t played with her,

She made it herself.

...

"Ding Dong!"
