I write obituaries for the gods

Mr. Iron Mask was clearly stunned. He hadn't expected that the ghost would even know about his true form.

How did you...?

"If it weren't for the mission requirements, I would have killed you long ago," Lin Chen chuckled. "Promise me you won't pee in your armor, okay?"

"Heh, not bad with words."

Mr. Iron Mask flew at high speed through the air, various structures constantly opening up on his armor, and a dark blue light burst out from the gaps in the armor.

"You think you can threaten me by breaking through my air defense array? The plan is not bad, but it is still too naive."

"Come on, I've been wanting to have a good talk with you, now that you've come all this way..."

As he spoke, Mr. Iron Face became quite smug.

His aura of a master strategist descending from the shadows was once again on full display. He looked at the gunboats in the sky like an eagle eyeing its prey.

"Then tonight, I'll face you—"

"Oh!"

A white shadow pierced through the armor's chest, smashing it into a pile of fragments that exploded like a shower of flowers.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Lin Chen stared blankly at the swirling white shadow as it flew at high speed across the sky, heading towards the rear of the gunboat.

"What is that?!" Embroidery Needle exclaimed in disbelief. Mr. Iron Face had always been the kind of person who acted as a behind-the-scenes boss, and the fact that such a person was instantly killed was a huge blow to her.

"Open the rear hatch!" Lin Chen shouted.

"Buzzing..."

The rear cabin door slowly opened, and the white figure darted up without hesitation and landed in the cabin.

Lin Chen looked at the figure who was crossing his arms and chattering—

That's Litty!

"Liti! What are you doing here?!"

Lin Chen stepped forward, visibly angry.

This is the front line of the battlefield! No matter how naughty this little girl is, she can't joke around with her life like this!

However, Litty opened her arms somewhat aggrievedly:

"I'm so cold..."

"It must be cold. If it's cold, why did you come out?"

Lin Chen took off his coat and draped it over Liti.

"How did you get here?" he asked Litty.

Litty avoided Lin Chen's gaze:

"Clinging to...the wing..."

She turned back again, waving her arms rapidly, trying to explain herself:

"Brother Lin Chen, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to! I really like this big bird, so I went to the hangar to visit it. But when I climbed up there, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already halfway up!"

She became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and it seemed like she was about to cry. She clearly felt that she had caused a lot of trouble.

This naturally naive girl had never shown this kind of emotion before.

Lin Chen immediately realized his mistake, and he quickly and gently hugged Liti, patting her back:

"Alright, alright, it's not your fault, it's not your fault. Let's not talk about it anymore. It's good that we're alright."

"Waaah..."

Lin Chen wiped Liti's eyes and sighed helplessly at her disheveled appearance.

There's nothing I can do, she's just too cute, I can't blame her.

“But you shouldn’t go looking for bad guys to fight,” Lin Chen said earnestly. “Who knows what they’re capable of?”

"I won..."

"You're amazing," Lin Chen ruffled Litty's hair, "but don't be so reckless next time, okay?"

"Oh... I'll let you know before I call next time..."

"Well, at least you should have said something..."

Lin Chen found himself inexplicably starting to accept the premise that "Liti is a superhero".

To be honest, ever since she crashed into the helicopter, Lin Chen understood that her physical strength was definitely not that of a normal carbon-based life form.

But Mr. Iron Mask's armor... to be honest, Lin Chen still felt it was a bit exaggerated.

The previous suit of armor retained most of its core structure even after the explosion, and some data could even be read from the core. According to Mr. Iron Mask, this new suit is even stronger than the previous one.

And then Litty just stumbled upon him and saw right through it?

Lin Chen even felt that his overprotective nature towards Liti was a bit like keeping a little bird in a cage...

There's no other reason than that this young girl is not only incredibly strong, but also has a strong murderous intent...

Okay, describing a child as having murderous intent is too much of an exaggeration; she's just a bit belligerent.

"When that armor broke, did you see a little ball of flesh?" Lin Chen gestured to Litty, "It looked like a little dwarf, but rather ugly."

“Dwarfs…there are no dwarfs,” Litty shook her head, “they’re just a lump of iron.”

Is this another remotely controlled armor?

Lin Chen walked to the control panel and pressed the headset:

"Iron Face, so cowardly?"

There was no sound from the other end.

"That's really beneath you," Li Zhanyi shook his head.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—"

The Vulcan cannon began firing, quickly creating a crack in the 79-story tempered glass structure.

"Wildflower, you'll take over from here," Lin Chen stood up at the control panel. "Squad A, prepare to storm in with me."

"Roger that!"

Lin Chen saw figures walking past him toward the rear of the cabin.

He suddenly reached out and stopped the little thing at the end of the line.

"Little bird... I don't want to be mean to you, but you can't be so disobedient."

“Let me go too,” Litty said, looking up. “I want to protect Brother Lin Chen!”

She glanced at Li Zhanyi, who was watching her from a distance, and added:

"And Sister Zhanyi too!"

“You’re too young,” Lin Chen squatted down in front of Liti. “It’s dangerous outside. If a fight breaks out, I won’t be able to protect you…”

“I’m amazing,” Litty said, somewhat unconvinced. “I smashed that bad guy to pieces with one punch!”

"Didn't we just agree not to be reckless?"

"Yes...that's why I told you..."

Litty's little wings fluttered gently twice.

Looking at her like this, Lin Chen suddenly felt that he had come into contact with another side of Liti.

Although she seems a bit naive and cute on ordinary days, this little girl has her own ideas.

Lin Chen suddenly felt that perhaps he should let her unleash her true nature.

After all, she had already reached the front lines, and staying in the Sky Fortress might not be safer than entering Rain City Star.

Moreover, the world is not peaceful now, and they will inevitably come into contact with this cruel world sooner or later.

Perhaps it's time to let them see what the world is really like.

"Okay, then come with me."

Lin Chen patted Liti on the shoulder and handed her an earpiece.

Looking at the headset Lin Chen handed her, Liti was stunned for a long time, as if she couldn't believe it.

She took the headset, and as if possessed, put it in her ear and pressed a button.

"This is Little Bird Number One, calling Lin Chen Number One," Litty said in a serious tone.

Li Zhanyi burst out laughing, and the other members of the guerrilla team also smiled like doting aunts.

Lin Chen smiled helplessly, pressed his earpiece, and spoke softly:

"Lin Chen No. 1 received, calling Little Bird No. 1."

"Bird One received!" Litty happily opened her arms.

"Stay close to me and don't act on your own," Lin Chen said earnestly to Liti.

"it is good!"

"If you want to do anything, let me know in advance."

"it is good!"

"If the situation reaches a stalemate and I can't retreat, then you need to prioritize your own safety and go back immediately, okay?"

"Good! No...no good!"

Litty looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.

“I will protect you!” Litty said earnestly.

“No, Little Bird One, your primary goal is to protect yourself.” Lin Chen shook his head.

"I'll protect myself, and I'll protect you," Litty said, hands on her hips. "I'm amazing!"

Lin Chen became more serious:

"You are a soldier now, and I am your superior. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. No matter what I say, you must do it. Subordinates are not allowed to talk back to their superiors."

"But..."

"Liti".

"All right..."

Litty looked somewhat unconvinced; she lowered her head, her two small fists clenched tightly.

Lin Chen suddenly felt like a father, and faced with his daughter's first rebellious phase, he felt a strange sense of helplessness.

"Alright, let's get started. There's no time to waste."

Lin Chen walked to the cabin door and looked down at the Rain City Star.

"Come with me."

After saying that, he leaped into the air and fell from the sky.

The guerrillas followed Lin Chen and jumped off the plane. Litty was the last one to leave, spreading her white wings.

Looking at the raging wind and rain outside the window, a glimmer of joy flashed in Litty's eyes.

"call!"

As he fell, Lin Chen saw a figure whizz past him, make several turns in front of him, and then fly back in a spinning motion.

That's Litty. She looks very happy, cheering as she flies.

The torrential rain lashed her face, wetting her white feathers and hair, but her eyes shone with a freedom that Lin Chen had never seen before.

"Boom!"

Lin landed high up on the TV tower, reached out and took out the anchor point, nailing it to his feet.

He then tied one end of the rope to the anchor point and the other end to his waist, and began to rappel down.

When she landed at the breach created by the machine gun fire, Litty was already hovering there.
