Chapter 668: Chapter 665: "Do You Know How Much It Hurts?

"Okay, Lewis," Che clenched his fists.

He felt deeply once again the charisma of Lewis, who indeed was a born leader who could always make people believe and follow him involuntarily, no matter the circumstances.

He could not resist this attraction.

...

"Ding dong!"

...

"Clang——Clang——"

The automated train kept moving forward due to the nuclear crisis; no one was aboard this train as it continuously journeyed on the rails until its energy would be exhausted one day.

The sound of "da da da" echoed as soldiers formed a straight line, sweeping fire downwards at the mechanical beings trying to climb up.

A breeze lifted Su Ming’an’s hair as the train route passed through beautiful lake scenery, a rarity in the Ruined World, appearing clear and beautiful under the blood sun.

"Boom——!" Suddenly, a loud blast came from ahead.

The body of a soldier was suddenly ripped apart by flames, Origin Stones scattered everywhere, and people unanimously stopped in their tracks.

Su Ming’an stared ahead in shock—seeing a relentless white-haired figure standing quietly at the front of the train.

"I heard Lewis’s friends are in this squad," Lin Guang spoke indifferently. "His only flaw is his emotions, and I will help him eliminate future troubles."

Su Ming’an had never imagined he would encounter Lin Guang here, and it seemed Lin Guang hadn’t recognized him.

"You... you are Lin Guang?"

Luna’s voice was somewhat stagnant—she had always been extremely fearful of this unpredictable deity faction’s major boss.

Lin Guang had massacred thousands of innocents, executing others with extremely brutal methods. Flaying, lingering death, bleeding, burning, even using insects to devour human bodies... His nefarious reputation was known to all; even children would cry upon hearing his name.

People regarded him as humanity’s number one enemy, and countless had lost family and friends because of him.

In the past, Qiu Li’s brother and Yao Wen’s father had died by his execution.

This type of extreme cruelty had only lessened in the last decade or so since the Dawn War began—Yasa Acto’s declaration of war had gradually diminished the influence of the deity faction.

Hence, the Freedom Faction had grown so powerful, like wildfire catching through dry grass.

If it were not for Lin Guang, that madman, suddenly wanting to initiate a nuclear explosion, the deity faction would certainly have been defeated within five years.

—Faced with a cruel madman, Luna had no idea what he might do next, especially since he possessed extremely powerful strength.

Fear uncontrollably leaked from Luna’s eyes, and behind her, everyone trembled with fear, shaking all over; they knew falling into Lin Guang’s hands was worse than death.

Lin Guang’s indifferent gaze swept over Luna; his heart was filled with immense disappointment.

...He had originally thought, since Luna was a friend of Lewis, she should not fear him. He even thought he could find a new friend.

As it turned out, Lewis was the only special one. The others were still so fearful of him.

"...this is a bionic body of Lin Guang, with low combat power," Su Ming’an whispered from behind the soldiers, alerting Che.

However, even if Lin Guang’s combat power wasn’t high, it still ranged between 2500-3000 points, which this team couldn’t possibly defeat.

"Lewis, what should we do, should you go first...?" Che was also panicking. It would have been fine if Lewis weren’t here, but if Lin Guang found out there was another bionic body here...

Suddenly, Che’s heart jolted; the terrifying white-haired figure appeared in front of his eyes in the next second, frightening him into taking a step back.

Lin Guang’s cold gaze swept over Che and then turned towards Su Ming’an.

He extended his hand, his gaze somewhat fixed—because Su Ming’an’s bionic body had black hair and grey eyes.

"...What is your name?" Lin Guang asked, his tone much milder compared to his previous utterances of "I want to slaughter you all."

The soldiers, waiting for death, simultaneously turned back; they already knew that Su Ming’an was the Lord of Acto City.

At that moment, the atmosphere became incredibly tense.

Thousands of tiny yellow Origin Stones scattered in the train carriage glistened in the sunlight.

"My name is Lin Yin," said Su Ming’an.

"Lin Yin," Lin Guang said. "You feel very familiar to me... Can I be friends with you and invite you to the City of Gods? It’s a city without radiation and exotic beasts. I can play the flute for you and treat you to some pastries."

Su Ming’an was speechless; Lin Guang’s invitation was always the same, unchanged for sixteen years.

"If you spare these people, I can be your friend," Su Ming’an said.

However, Lin Guang shook his head.

"No," Lin Guang said. "These people are the companions of my best friend, Lewis. I must kill them to make Lewis’s future life smoother."

This unique and cruel way of thinking sent chills down everyone’s spine. They stared in disbelief at Lin Guang, unable to grasp that they might die here over such an absurd reasoning.

"I am willing to be your friend, just spare these people," Su Ming’an said. "Am I not as good as that Lewis?"

Lin Guang looked at him as if it were obvious: "Of course not. Lewis is my best friend, and you are merely a new friend who intrigues me. If you refuse to come back with me, I will kill you."

Su Ming’an was lost for words.

He knew why Lin Guang wanted to be friends with him—not because of the black hair and grey eyes, but because of the aura on him that Lin Guang found familiar.

He couldn’t convince Lin Guang; Lin Guang had always been stubborn to the extreme, and any attempt to persuade him would only make him more determined to kill Che and the others.

He was pondering—what could possibly break the deadlock now?

The distance to the City of Gods and the valley of Beili Sier was far too great...there was simply no time to get there. Lin Guang had come via spatial teleportation, and even if they restarted, this team would still be targeted.

Before him, Lin Guang, growing impatient without an answer, emotions murky as sludge accumulating in his eyes.

"If you won’t answer, then you will die with them," he said as he raised his hand, seeming intent on strangling Su Ming’an.

"Knight’s duel!" Suddenly, a fierce shout echoed; above the train carriage, a white-haired female knight held up a golden sword aimed at Lin Guang’s extended hand.

Lin Guang’s hand froze in mid-air, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Swoosh!" A forceful energy pulled Lin Guang back, dragging him within five meters of Luna. This was Luna’s core occupational skill, similar to the High Tower Invitation, which could forcibly pull someone into a duel but consumed a significant amount of mana points.

Su Ming’an hadn’t expected Luna to suddenly make a move—she simply couldn’t defeat Lin Guang!

"You’re courting death!" Lin Guang’s eyes turned cold, and a multitude of steel cannons materialized around him, instantly aiming at Luna and firing.

"Clang—" A golden Knight’s Shield appeared around Luna, her expression one of agony. The shield had formidable defensive power, but the cost was that it was linked to her senses; each blast felt as though it hit her directly.

She extended her right hand, a golden chain emerging from her ribs, harshly nailing into Lin Guang’s chest. It firmly locked the distance between her and Lin Guang.

She turned her head, looked at Su Ming’an, and gave a slight smile:

"We haven’t had much interaction, but the days I’ve spent with you have been joyful. Listen, don’t let the shadows of your original family affect you, we are all capable of understanding you and accompanying you as companions..."

Su Ming’an didn’t understand why Luna would suddenly say this to him during combat.

At this time, the train sped through a lake on a hundred-meter-high viaduct. Luna firmly grasped Lin Guang’s body, not letting him move beyond five meters from her, even if the Knight’s Shield cracked and artillery pierced her slender body, blood leaking from her lips, she still refused to let go.

For a moment, Luna’s figure stood firm like a Knight’s Sword, as if standing on the solitary peak of a high mountain, her tattered clothes whipped around by the biting cold wind.

She raised her bloodied face, smiling at Su Ming’an:

"My friend, I’m glad to have known you..."

The fierce wind suddenly picked up, swirling her snowy white robe and the solid golden chain fixed at her ribs; Lin Guang tried to cut the chain but failed.

This was a duel chain linked by the Player’s skill "Rules," which couldn’t be broken until Luna died.

—And the dying Luna, pulling Lin Guang, took a step toward the edge of the carriage—toward the edge of the hundred-meter-high ravine—

She leaped down.

The wild wind surged violently.

"Don’t underestimate the underdog, you white-haired madman!" Luna laughed loudly, her laughter growing fainter and fainter, yet it sounded crystal clear, without a hint of fear or regret.

Her cheeks tilted downward, her white hair flowing like mercury, her hand tightly clutching the iron chain locked at her ribs, her palm stained with blood.

Lin Guang struggled to free himself, but unable to sever the chain, could only unleash his artillery on her, forced to fall with her.

"You go die—die—die!" Lin Guang raged to the extreme, never having imagined he would be dragged into the abyss by an unknown underdog.

Luna’s delicate body was shattered by Lin Guang’s furious fire like torn paper, her bones and flesh fluttering in the air like disordered blood butterflies. Her gaze was calm and steadfast, like moonlight guarding through the night.

As she fell through the wind, she looked like she was dancing, tracing a fiery trail of blood through the air.

Su Ming’an looked down, only able to see the shrinking figures of Luna and Lin Guang, disappearing under the tall viaduct into the ravine amidst the trees, leaving traces akin to flying birds.

A pool of golden barriers remained, like a small island standing firm in the cold wind, growing increasingly distant from him.

Within one minute, Luna decisively, swiftly, and without hesitation... thought of this sole method to kill the bionic Lin Guang—using her forced duel shield to lock Lin Guang’s position, crashing to their deaths together.

Su Ming’an’s mind buzzed—although Luna’s ranking was only in the hundreds, she had stepped into the ranks of the Peak Alliance’s Nine, and her reputation as the "Resolute Knight of the North Country" had spread, gaining the affection of many for her Knight occupation and personality. It’s conceivable that if she continued on, she would indeed have a bright future.

However, at this moment, she decisively abandoned all future prospects, leaping into the abyss on her own initiative.

—She actually made such a decision. Falling from the sky into the ravine.

She knew no one in the team could kill Lin Guang, and she was doomed to die. So she chose to be the sacrifice, allowing the remaining key figures to survive, paving the way for her teammates.

Luna was undeniably a knight, upright, humble, and respectful—despite being in danger herself, she still urged Su Ming’an to let go of his gloom.

Top players were indeed incredibly powerful—whether in terms of wisdom, courage, or decisiveness.

Luna was like a kind big sister.

...He had lost such a gentle big sister.

"" Su Ming’an straightened up, as mechanical beings continuously rushed at them. Xia Sheng and Sen, without saying a word, killed them, and the crisis was finally averted.

The train rushed over the elevated bridge, stopping at a station. People jumped off the train and walked through the woods.

A distress signal had been sent out long ago, and this location was not far from Doomsday City. The soldiers, weary-faced and burdened with heavy Origin Stones, finally awaited the arrival of the Doomsday City big truck that came to pick them up.

Su Ming’an had been silent all along; Luna was the first fellow player he had truly lost.

And moreover... she had departed so proudly, so decisively, her exit almost shocking.

"City Lord," the one getting off the truck was Sen Kylstia. This leader from a Beacon gathering spot from sixteen years ago had aged, with streaks of white mixing into his hair.

"Let’s head back to the city," Sen said, looking at the soldier crew, noticeably diminished, a sorrow crossing his eyes.

As Su Ming’an had just climbed onto the carriage, he suddenly felt a phantom pain in his neck. The pain was so sudden that he even felt a stifling sensation.

He immediately diverted his attention and opened his eyes, those of his real body in the City of Gods.

The room’s light poured into his eyes, and he saw a grim-faced Lin Guang.

Lin Guang’s hand gripped his throat, pinning him against the wall at the head of the bed, lifted off the ground, his grip incredibly forceful. Cold and dull pain simultaneously originated from his neck.

"That one called Lin Yin earlier, that was you, right?" Lin Guang said coldly, "Your companion angered me, and to be smashed to death... really hurts. Do you know how much pain I’m in?"

Su Ming’an’s complexion turned red; Lin Guang’s gun was pointed at his arm, precluding him from using Spatial Vibration. A stabbing pain from a gunshot wound in his chest faintly resonated, his body almost riddled with holes, leaving several undercover injuries despite healing.

"You... when you die in the future, it will be even more painful," Su Ming’an squeezed out the words from his throat.

First Lv Shu, then Luna, he had grown extremely disgusted with Lin Guang.

He had never seen such a crazed faction boss before, continuously claiming to be nice to him but repeatedly acting in ways that made him detestable.

But no matter, only fourteen hours left... Just fourteen hours, and he would not have to see this person anymore.

Now, seeing Lin Guang only made him feel sick.

"" Lin Guang closed his eyes:

"Lewis, I was clearly paving the way for you... "

Su Ming’an whispered, a scale lighting up on his wrist brushed in a crimson blood light:

"Go die—it’s the best paving you could do for me."
