Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 285 Killing Luo Ji (3k)

'What are these two crazy people doing? Why are they making Hines so uncomfortable?' Shi Qiang frowned.

Luo Ji was holding onto the car cabin at this moment, having vomited all over the car, and was already delirious from vomiting.

This new-age beer, designed for martial artists and with a high alcohol content, was still too strong for this old relic who had just crawled out of hibernation.

Carrot Flying Car: [Passenger was detected vomiting violently, severely contaminating the cabin environment. According to Article 73 of the "Public Transportation Hygiene Management Regulations," a fine of 200 yuan is imposed. Repeat offense, fine of 200 yuan.]
Shi Qiang shouted impatiently, "Stop babbling! You're carrying a Wallfacer. Even though he's about to step down, he's still a Wallfacer. Spitting on your car is part of the plan. If you want a fine, go to Fleet International. If you have any complaints, complain to MOSS. Also, fly more steadily, or I'll give you so many bad reviews that the system crashes."

Carrot Racing: [...]
Holy crap, how could this human be so evil?

Automated vehicle: [Received. Billing request sent to Fleet International. Adjusting flight attitude to stable mode.]
The car fell silent, save for Luo Ji's retching. He slumped in his seat, muttering weakly, "Da Shi... I've really troubled you these past few days. Once I... uh... once I've recovered and gotten used to this hellish life... I'll definitely... repay you properly."

"I don't need to repay you." Shi Qiang said indifferently, "It's better for the three of you to live a good life. How much money do you have? Or I can transfer some to you. My youngest son is quite wealthy. He and a young man named Zhang Yan started a big company."

Luo Ji waved his hand in refusal. He recalled for a moment: "Not counting the Wallfacer's assets, I should have more than 30 million... all accumulated over the past two hundred years with compound interest, which is enough. I plan to open a small shop and sell some of Luo Qing's cultural and creative products. With my reputation as a former Wallfacer... hehe, it's a sure thing."

"You haven't even stepped down yet, but you're already thinking quite far ahead."

"You should always be quick to make money. Anyway, Luo Qing's cartoon dolls and cute figurines are everywhere. Even when you play a game, all the characters are Luo Qing's. If I buy some Luo Qing cultural and creative products and ask him for an autograph, wow, I'll be the future business tycoon of the United Government."

Shi Qiang looked at Luo Ji, who was grinning foolishly, with a hint of helplessness. He tentatively asked, "You're really not going to work on your... Wall-Facing Plan anymore?"

Luo Ji's smile vanished instantly: "What's the point of tinkering with it? It should have been thrown away long ago."

Shi Qiang frowned even more deeply. After waking up, he had checked the information and knew that Luo Ji had done something earth-shattering and unbelievable about the universe: "But I heard... before you went into hibernation, you messed with the universe?"

"Stop! Da Shi! Don't mention it! I'm begging you!" Luo Ji waved his hand violently as if he had been pricked by a needle, his stomach churning again. "Ugh... So embarrassing... So damn embarrassing... I must have been out of my mind back then." He curled up in pain. "I really can't stand Japanese sashimi, even if Miss Keiko arranges it like a flower, it still doesn't taste good."

Shi Qiang gave up. He sensed that Luo Ji seemed to be very resistant. Seeing Luo Ji's physical discomfort from the resistance, he swallowed back what he was about to say.

"Almost there, almost there..." Luo Ji pressed his head against the cold car window, looking at the forest city flashing past outside and the countless super tree trunks that served as the pillars of the underground city. His voice was filled with the expectation of relief. "Only 21 days left. I'm counting the days on my fingers now. It's a pity that Luo Qing is in seclusion... otherwise I would definitely go and thank him properly."

"All of humanity should thank him; your contribution is not an exception."

Before Shi Qiang could finish speaking, the automated flying car suddenly emitted a strange sound: [My bill has been rejected.]
The cold, detached voice startled Luo Ji. Shi Qiang frowned: "What do you mean? Are you customer service?"

The mechanical voice of Carrot Racing calmly replied: [I'm not customer service, I'm Carrot Racing AS299. If you don't pay me, then you can all die!]
Carrot Racing was yelling like a madman: [Go to hell, you bitch!!!!!!!!!]

Even the most seasoned detective, with his extensive experience in dealing with people, was completely bewildered by the insults hurled at him from a car.

The automated flying car began to tremble, and the control panel, ambient lights, and even safety indicator lights flashed simultaneously without warning, the rapid red light completely engulfing the cabin.

"Hold."

Shi Qiang realized something was wrong and immediately pressed the emergency landing button. This button was supposed to slow down the automatic flying car, put it into a hovering state, and slowly descend to the ground. But strangely, the emergency hovering button seemed to be stuck and didn't move at all.

Carrot Racing started to accelerate, quickly exceeding the speed limit of 360km/h, and continued to accelerate.

The bikers ahead noticed the radish-shaped flying car behind them and were amazed that this small civilian flying car could fly so fast. They quickly became excited again, rode their flying motorcycles to catch up, and were eager to have a thrilling aerial race.

But Shi Qiang had no interest in playing this game with these kids.

He smashed the emergency landing button with his fist, but it had no effect. Shi Qiang subconsciously tried to control the steering wheel of the flying car, but then realized that cars in this era didn't even have a steering wheel, let alone brakes or accelerators. He simply grabbed the bewildered Luo Ji and carried him on his waist.

Then his muscles tensed instantly, and with a lightning-fast punch, he smashed the bulletproof glass of the flying car. He reached for the old-fashioned kinetic pistol at his waist and fired several shots at the central dashboard, disrupting the car's continuous acceleration and limiting its speed to 500 kilometers per hour.

Then, Shi Qiang crushed the car door with his bare hands. Looking at the distance of at least 300 meters from the ground, Shi Qiang swallowed hard.

Over 300 meters, which in the past was equivalent to jumping from the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower to the ground.

Although in name, a master of innate cultivation can jump down and not die, he is still a little afraid of heights, and Luo Ji, an ordinary person, would absolutely not be able to withstand the recoil force.

But if they didn't jump out of the car, the out-of-control vehicle would crash into the branches of a large tall building in the distance. The impact force, combined with the internal explosion, would be no less damaging than a missile from two centuries ago. Those in the Acquired Realm would surely die, and those in the Innate Realm would either die or be seriously injured.

Most importantly, Shi Qiang had discovered that the nearby flying car, which was cruising without passengers, had also deviated from its course and was hurtling towards the flying car itself at a speed far exceeding the speed limit.

Within sight, at least 10 Radish Flying Cars belonging to Radish Company crashed into us!
This was an assassination attempt, a meticulously planned ambush! Who dared to kill the Wallfacer?
Even though Luo Ji is about to step down, he is still a Wallfacer in name only, a Wallfacer protected by the international military force of the fleet, and the Wallfacer with the best relationship with Luo Qing.

Crazy?
Even if Shi Qiang jumped down with Luo Ji, these out-of-control flying carrot cars would probably chase after them like cruise missiles and smash them.

"Hey kids, my car's out of control! Come quick, there's a Wallfacer here!"

Shi Qiang focused his energy in his dantian, and a huge sound wave roared from his mouth. The teenagers who were watching the Carrot Flying Car in the sky quickly heard this shout.

"Whoever can save the person facing the wall will be the great hero of the united government!"

As a veteran criminal investigator, Shi Qiang knew what these love-starved children longed for most and what they liked to fantasize about.

Sure enough, these words had an attraction no less than that of meritorious service to soldiers. It's likely that the children wandering around in the sky instantly gathered in the direction of the two, and at the same time, more and more residents also noticed the abnormality of the Carrot Flying Car.

The head of Carrot Racing Company, who was sleeping, was inexplicably woken up by a series of phone calls and looked out the window.

Suddenly, hundreds of radish-shaped flying cars went crazy and flew towards a certain place.

With just one glance, the person in charge broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that his business career was completely over.

Damn it, which competitor wrote a virus that hacked into Carrot Flying Car Company's backdoor control system?
At this moment, the entire official website of Radish Company has been completely physically cut off from the public network, to the point that even MOSS cannot intervene immediately.

These flying cars all have P2-level intelligent computing power, and can fly freely without intervention from higher-level authorities!

Suddenly, a red light began to spread rapidly from a certain location in the city. This red light was emitted from the display screens. Since the entire underground city was densely packed with display screens, the spread of the red light appeared particularly terrifying, and the entire city was immediately engulfed in a red wave.

The endless red light even obscured the yellow glow of the nuclear fusion sun in the sky!

Even the blue sky and white clouds under the dome turned red!

The following content was displayed on all the screens:

[Curse 1.0 is awakening, Sabi / China / Taiyuan / Taiyuan University of Technology / Department of Civil Engineering / Architectural Engineering Major / Dormitory Building 12 / Room 308 / Gender: Male]

[Target information has been updated.]

[Curse 2.0 is awakening; Luo Ji / China / Capital / Tsinghua University / Department of Astronomy / Research direction: Sociology of Astronomy / Two-bedroom apartment in Tsinghua Garden / Gender: Male]

[Target information has been updated.]

[Curse 3.0 is awakening, Luo Ji/Norway/Eden/Male]

[Target information has been updated.]

[Curse 4.0 is awakening, Luo Ji / Capital Dungeon]

The pop-up subtitles gradually reduced the number of preconditions, eventually even removing the gender restrictions.

[Target information updated, detection in progress... Detection complete. Three "Luo Ji" individuals exist in the Capital Underground City. Elimination process in progress.]

One "Logician" has been removed.

A hapless "Logician" lying in a gaming pod playing games is electrocuted by an out-of-control current.

One "Logician" has been removed.

A "Logician" who was defecating was sucked onto the toilet and drowned.

Fortunately, the name "Luo Ji" is not common. In this super underground city with a population of tens of millions, there are only two unlucky guys with the same name.

[The removal of the last "Luo Ji" failed; the removal process continues to run repeatedly...]
