Abnormal crossing

Chapter 196 The Curtain Falls (Part 3)

The mech that fell beneath Kai was instantly dismembered as if by some irresistible force, unable to even launch a final counterattack.

Several relatively intact enemy planes had their cockpits pierced through, the cuts as smooth as mirrors, as if they had been cut in two by some extremely thin, sharp blade.

However, the Flowing Light didn't even have a single scratch.

The superior mech legion, accumulated over tens of thousands of years by the Boska civilization, was silently annihilated in a corner of the planet, without even a ripple.

Everything on the planet Boska returned to normal in an orderly manner after the shocking events.

The changes in the outside world quickly reached Myron Dort's hands. Although his consciousness was almost blurred, one thought emerged with unparalleled clarity in his mind:

I have completely failed, and there is no chance of turning things around.

All the plans and all the investments have completely failed today, and I've even lost everything.

What awaits me next is likely to be captured by those enemies below whose origins are still unknown, and to be squeezed for all sorts of information before I die completely.
No, no!

can not be like this!

Think of this.

Suddenly, like a wild beast cornered at the end of its rope, Myron Dort raised his head, his left eye—the only remaining organ on his face—and abruptly looked at the figure slowly retreating to the side.
Gu Wei!

next second.

This already shattered body suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed, like a puppet with its strings torn, lunging at Gu Wei with its bare white skeletal claws outstretched.

Gu Wei: "??????"

Seeing Myron Dort lunging at him, Gu Wei almost instinctively put his hands up in front of him to block the attack.

at the same time.

A pale yellow shield also appeared on Gu Wei's body—this was one of the defensive measures that Jin had prepared in advance.

It's unclear whether it's due to exhaustion of power or the shield taking effect.

Just as Myron Dort was about to touch the shield, his body, which was barely maintaining its human form, suddenly and completely disintegrated.

Wow
Melted flesh and blood splattered like raindrops, but strangely stopped half a meter away from Gu Wei, then turned into fine blood mist and scattered.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the hall, carrying the dark red particles that swirled upwards, forming a fleeting crimson whirlwind around Gu Wei.

When the wind stopped, all that was left on the ground was a puddle of rapidly evaporating slime.

A few wisps of black smoke rose from the surface of the liquid, twisting into resentful shapes in the air, and finally...
Dissipate completely.

"Gu Wei!"

The sudden turn of events left Gu Wei momentarily stunned, until Milo's voice on the crew wristband brought him back to reality: "Gu Wei! How are you? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wei's pupils contracted sharply. He abruptly lowered his head, quickly tearing open the collar of his dress with both hands. His gaze swept almost frantically over his chest, arms, and even his palms, examining them repeatedly.

His skin was completely intact, without a trace of blood, and even the hem of his clothes was spotless, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion. Seeing this...

His breathing gradually calmed down, but his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Myron Dort's final action was clearly an attempt to retaliate against himself, and the reason is not hard to guess:

Firstly, his disguise as Ophelia was the direct cause of his plan's failure; secondly, at that time, Myron Dort only had the physical strength, or rather, power, to lunge at himself.

To put it more simply, it means that even when you're about to die, you want to take someone down with you.

Therefore, compared to Mellen Dort's purpose, Gu Wei is more conflicted about...
Was Myron Dort's last-ditch comeback truly thwarted?
Logically speaking, Jin's arrangements should not have any problems. Although she arranged for herself to be disguised as Ophelia, the corresponding defensive measures were also fully in place—she had even determined that her escape point would be next to Myron Dort.

As it turned out, Jin's plan was quite reliable, and all the flesh and blood blasted out by Myron Dort were blocked outside the shield.

But
Gu Wei had a feeling that in that final burst of crimson whirlwind, something unknown had somehow passed through the shield that Jin had prepared.
Gu Wei then flipped his palms over a few more times, hesitated for a moment, picked up the bracelet, and said, "Captain, there's nothing wrong with my body, but I feel like something's off."

He described his feelings to Milo and Jin, and Jin's voice quickly came from the bracelet: "Understood. You stay where you are and don't move. We'll go over now."

Done.

The platform that had originally carried Myron Dort and the other two made a soft sound and floated back down to the ground—after Meimei had completely taken control of the major nodes of Bosca, the access to almost all the equipment on the planet had also fallen into the hands of the Fluttering Fluttering.

After a while.

The platform carried Milo and his group to the high platform. After Jin got off the ground, she didn't even look at the black ball of light and the remaining slime of Myron Dort beside her. She quickly walked to Gu Wei's side and said, "Give me your hand."

Gu Wei, like a kindergarten child being checked by the teacher to see if he had washed his hands, held out his hands to Jin.

Jin stared at Gu Wei's palm for a while, then quickly extended her left hand and covered it.

Say something.

This was the first time Gu Wei had ever held Jin's hand.

Jin's five fingers are long and slender, with distinct joints that are not bony. Gu Wei can even feel the subtle lines on her palms and the delicate pressure when her fingertips press lightly.

The touch was unexpectedly warm and smooth, like a piece of mutton-fat jade warmed by body heat, delicate and soft—Gu Wei had originally thought that Jin's hands would be as warm as her personality.
Jin lowered her eyes and stared at the two clasped hands, her eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes. Her expression was focused and calm, as if she was investigating something, or confirming some unseen existence.

After a long pause, she slowly withdrew her hand, her voice as flat as ever: "No obvious problems were found. At least there won't be any sudden death or waking up to find a twin brother, but..."

Gu Wei quickly asked, "But what?"

“However, there does seem to be something unusual on a certain level,” Jin explained, seemingly noticing Gu Wei’s nervousness. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious—the anomaly has been brought under control by another object.”

Is it under control?

Gu Wei was taken aback for a moment, then it occurred to him: "Twilight Trigger or Fishing Man's Wrath?"

Although I don't know what Jin meant by "special level," the only things I might possess that could control anomalies are Twilight Trigger and Fisher's Wrath.

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s most likely the wrath of the fishing expert, after all, it’s his specialty,” Jin stroked her chin and thought for a few seconds before explaining, “This is actually the core reason why I arranged for you to impersonate Ophelia—although this situation has nothing to do with your troublesome nature, you are the most suitable, or rather, the only one to break the deadlock in the short term.”
