Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 184 Sleeping and Waking Up

Perhaps because they received the retreat order from Yu Jiyi, no new armed security personnel came forward after the death of the substitute she had remotely taken over.

Surrounded by wisps of fire, Song Shi pulled out the heavy knife, pressed it back into his body, and walked to the back.

The fusion of "Lapis Lazuli" is nearing completion.

About four breaths later, the green light dissipated, and the original forearm disappeared, replaced by a dark green, almost black, human-head-sized sphere.

This sphere is a very standard geometric shape with an extremely smooth surface, which reminds people of delicate and smooth glass, but with a slight alloy texture.

It was quietly suspended in the air. When Song Shi came in front of it, the surface of the sphere flipped over. The building block-like modules separated and reassembled, revealing a visual vision. On it was a small human face drawn in simplified Chinese characters that Lapis Lazuli usually used - the expression was "calm".

"It's time to prepare to leave." Song Shi looked at the sphere: "What do you mean?"

"Ah."

Lapis Lazuli's voice did not change, it was still that deep male voice: "The situation is not as good as I expected, but the injury is basically stable."

".Leave." It paused: "I thought you were going to stay here."

"No need."

Song Shi glanced at the sky and said, "After all, the goal this time is to help you get your body back. Being able to confirm that the other party is really the 'Yuji Instrument' is already an unexpected gain."

"If we stay here any longer, the first ones to arrive here will definitely not be the armed forces and aftershock instruments of the Zero Degree Network, but a saturation heavy firepower sweep beyond visual range."

Now, I can indeed ignore most conventional forces. Even beyond-visual-range heavy guided artillery is not too dangerous - but the prerequisite is to rely on intuitive warning to avoid it in advance, or hide in a bunker.

Staying straight in place without retreating a single step, resisting the attacks of guided rocket launchers, gravity suppression cannons, heavy aerial bombs, high-energy plasma beams and other heavy firepower armed groups, even if it was him, it would be impossible to hold on forever.

Technology is both expensive and cheap.

The cost of a maximum-yield [gravitational collapse bomb] is counted in "billions". It can easily engulf a city with a radius of tens of kilometers. If it is located in the center of a gravitational collapse domain, even a fourth-level psychic is at risk of death - the former is certainly expensive, but the latter two are far more valuable.

After thousands of years of development, even if psychic power is excluded, humans have enthusiastically created a wide variety of technologies that are enough to destroy themselves dozens of times.

"Yu Jiyi is in Zhuguang City. That's enough. She will never let go of this unprecedented 'ingredient' of mine."

Song Shi smiled calmly and said, "So she won't run away. There will be plenty of opportunities to kill her later."

"You seem happy now," Lapis Lazuli said.

Even without enabling the micro-expression analysis program and the comparison of emotion representation samples, it can still feel the undisguised happiness behind the other person's words.

"Why would I be unhappy?" Song Shi couldn't help but laugh as if he had heard something strange: "This is exactly why I came to Zhuguang City."

"The elites of giant companies such as the Special Pilot, Thomas, and Yu Ji Yi gathered here. Everyone thinks that they are unique and talented."

"In a small place like Palose, you won't encounter these guys, but you can fight them and suppress their path with your own path--"

Song Shi opened his hands and said, "Is there anything in this world that can make me happier than this?"

Song Shi laughed and asked, "——Is there anything else in this world that is more valuable and meaningful than this?!"

Lapis Lazuli was silent for a moment, the sphere spinning, but in the end, she still said nothing.

Then, Song Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, and he heard the other party speak again. "Speaking of which, if I want to kill Yu Jiyi in one go and completely, I'm afraid I'll need your help at that time."

"You want to set up the battlefield in the Abyss." Lapis Lazuli instantly understood the other party's idea, and it did not hesitate: "No problem."

"Song Shi, you helped me get my body back, as agreed." It paused, and the sphere turned, as if it was bowing its head: "- From now on, within one year, 'Lapis Lazuli' will be at your disposal."

As the words fell, the lapis lazuli display screen sank, and the entire sphere closed again, transforming into the original standard geometric sphere. The cyan light traces flowed along the texture under the surface of the sphere, reminiscent of the huge and complex blood vessels in the human body.

Then, under Song Shi's gaze, the sphere began to shrink, in violation of the law of conservation of matter, from its original size of a human head to a dark blue, thin single-strand necklace.

It floated towards Song Shi's neck and was put on automatically.

The pendant of the necklace is a blue four-sided crystal, which is set in a coin-sized ring without any welding or medium.

It floats in it, spinning quietly.

"Song Shi."

Lapis Lazuli's voice was still steady, but it seemed to have finally relaxed, with a deep sense of fatigue that was difficult to conceal.

"My current condition is not stable enough, and I need some time to adjust. I need to sleep for a few days first."

"When I recover, I can assist you in participating in the bloody battle in the abyss." It said tiredly: "Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long"

Lapis Lazuli's voice gradually became lower and lower until it disappeared.

Only the blue crystal at the bottom of the necklace was still spinning endlessly.

"So, are you Yaoxing San?"

Looking at the necklace that fell into silence, Song Shi thought with interest.

He touched the necklace: "But it's actually quite nice."

He put his camouflage suit back on and snapped his fingers.

Two fire seeds consumed.

With itself as the center, the scorched earth instantly boiled, and one after another red-gold "light stars" suddenly lit up in the sky and turned into a large number of flame stars that fell - this was not done before because lapis lazuli still needed to absorb nearby equipment and raw materials, and it was not convenient to destroy it.

From the violent roar, it was like fireworks rising to the highest point and exploding with a bang, with lines of fire dragging their wakes. Every time a flaming star fell, it would bloom a second time, engulfing an area of ​​several meters in diameter.

The flames that spread out from each other spread and engulfed each other, literally turning the entire control center covering tens of thousands of square meters into a "sea of ​​fire." In front of the [Embers] controlled by Song Shi, conventional reinforced concrete fortifications were not much stronger than foam boards.

Everything is burned.

After confirming that this final blow has been completed, a portion of Zero Degree Network's assets can be exploited in reverse.

In the raging burning wind, Song Shi left this place and disappeared into the frozen wilderness in the distance.

······
The third day after leaving.

— Lapis Lazuli woke up.
