I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

At the beginning of the journey, several security guards lay sprawled on the road, seemingly wanting to join the fight, but were easily taken down.

The battle between the two was completely beyond the realm of humanity; the destruction along the way made it seem as if two Terminators were engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

Okay, maybe Ding Sheng can be considered half a Terminator, and Ye Shuang can be considered half a Terminator as well.

The boy even found the missing fire extinguisher along the way. The sturdy cylindrical container had become pitted and uneven, as if it had been used as a weapon, raising concerns about whether it might explode.

When Cheng Fei arrived at the open area of ​​this deck, the signs of battle became even more horrific. The tables and chairs that were meant for leisure and recreation had all become combat props. The aluminum alloy chair legs were bent, the wooden high table was broken in two, and wood chips and shards of tempered glass were scattered on the ground.

Suddenly, the boy noticed a gap in the guardrail not far away, as if it had been smashed open by a speeding motorcycle.

Cheng Fei ran over quickly and finally spotted the two figures.

Down the tiered open deck of the cruise ship, Ye Shuang and Ding Sheng's battle area was three decks away from the boy.

The area where the two were located happened to be the place where the constellation observation event had been held before. Because the two were moving at an unusually fast speed, Cheng Fei had to activate Time Zero to barely see their movements.

The girl with pigtails in the apricot trench coat, like a berserker, swung the heavy binoculars around and smashed them at Ding Sheng.

Ding Sheng was not as fast as Ye Shuang, and unable to dodge in time, he simply crossed his arm to block the attack.

The metal telescope was bent, and the complex lenses inside shattered, falling into Ding Sheng's collar.

Undeterred, he swung his fist at Ye Shuang with a whooshing sound.

The girl nimbly dodged and kicked Ding Sheng away. The cyborg gripped the ground with his hands, his fingers digging into the cracks of the wooden floor, which made a crisp sound as if it were breaking from within.

Ye Shuang tossed aside the binoculars, replaced them with a metal rod as a weapon, and launched an attack on Ding Sheng.

The two chased and fled, then jumped down another deck. Neither the narrow beams nor the steep facade could stop their fight.

On the gradually tilting and sinking cruise ship, most people crowded on the escape deck looking for a chance to survive. When the lifeboats were mostly out of the water, the crew released various inflatable life rafts. Some were thrown directly into the water and automatically bounced away, while others extended to the surface through inflatable slides.

No one noticed that two extraordinary beings were locked in a fierce battle overhead.

Cheng Fei chased after the two, trying to figure out how to defeat Ding Sheng. A sense of unease settled in the young man's heart.

Ye Shuang's agility advantage was ineffective against Ding Sheng's invulnerable limbs, and Cheng Fei was a little worried that she would be countered.

Lin Xuanqi undoubtedly possesses the extraordinary ability of luck, so there must be a reason why she asked Cheng Fei to protect Ye Shuang.

Cheng Fei didn't expect that Ye Shuang would be countered sooner than anticipated; it was probably because Lucky 4 came into play.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had moved to the side of the ship's railing. Ding Sheng grabbed the railing and pulled hard, tearing off a section of the several-meter-long metal railing and swinging it at Ye Shuang.

The girl grabbed the railing and flipped over to the outside to avoid the attack.

Ding Sheng chased after her with a gloomy face.

The girl grabbed the railing and tried to climb back to the inside, but then an accident happened. The railing, which had been damaged by Ding Sheng, could not withstand the huge torque generated by the girl's high-speed movement. One of the connection points broke, and the other side bent outward.

Ye Shuang's expression changed. She lost her balance while holding onto the railing and fell outside the ship's side, her legs dangling in the air. Only the railing in her hand was still barely connected to the railing post.

Without hesitation, Ding Sheng reached out, grasped the section of railing, and twisted it forcefully, causing the aluminum alloy to break under the weight.

Ye Shuang grabbed a broken railing and fell into the sea. She tried to grab the railing on the lower deck, but failed because there was not enough distance. In mid-air, the girl could not get any leverage, and even the greatest agility was meaningless.

Cheng Fei watched this scene from the upper railing. For the two of them, who were also in a state of zero time, the process of falling from a height of more than ten meters was slow.

When Ye Shuang spotted the boy, a glimmer of hope seemed to appear on her inexplicably panicked face. Before falling into the water, she shouted, "Cheng Fei... I can't swim!"

Suddenly, the boy remembered that on the private island, Ye Shuang, although wearing a school swimsuit, never swam, and even though the boy and the butler did their daily diving work, she never once offered to help.

497. Time slowed down fifty times

Rationally speaking, a person with zero time cannot easily drown; they can quickly paddle and breathe, requiring only a calm mind.

When Cheng Fei had this idea, he aimed a pistol at the spot where Ye Shuang had fallen into the water.

The gunshots at time zero became extremely muffled and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

In that instant, the boy could almost clearly see the trajectory of the bullet as the golden bullet cut through the air and entered the water, splashing up a few water droplets, which were negligible compared to the splash caused by the girl falling into the water.

The first mate stood on the open deck, away from the battlefield and closer to the stern, and only stopped after emptying the entire magazine, his forehead covered in sweat.

Ding Sheng gripped the railing, staring intently at the sea until the splashing subsided and a vibrant, crimson flower bloomed in the deep water. He then let out a heavy sigh.

For a fleeting second, a perfect plan quietly emerged and spread in Cheng Fei's mind.

Would it be a good thing to let Ye Shuang die like this?

Go back and figure out a way to make Madam Lin and Lin Xuanqi die unexpectedly. Shen Xi will inherit the Lin family's property. As long as Shen Xi is appeased, everything will be fine!

Shen Xi will listen to her, and Nagasaki Asuna can finally live a life free from worries about food and clothing.

Ye Shuang wasn't killed by him, and Lin Xuanqi deserved to die anyway, so what's the problem?

What's the problem...?

What... problem...?

But a strange sadness accumulated in the boy's heart, like a flood that bursts its banks after a torrential rain, destroying everything in its path and drowning out all his carefully planned schemes.

A hurried and chaotic scene flashed through the boy's mind.

He raised his little fist and gave a stern warning to the twin-tailed girl...

The twin-tailed girl, pinned beneath him, was on the verge of tears...

A twin-tailed girl staring at him as he ate a pineapple bun...

A girl with pigtails tilting her head, revealing a sweet and innocent smile...

The twin-tailed girl turned her head away, avoiding his gaze...

The girl with twin ponytails who looked at him in a panic the moment she fell into the water...

wrong.

A true realist is one who is unafraid to use despicable and ruthless means against enemies, but will never betray the comrades who trust him.

If Ye Shuang had to bear the consequences of seeking revenge against Lin Xuanqi, Shen Xi could forgive her, but he could not.

The icy seawater poured into Ye Shuang's trachea, and a large amount of crimson liquid gushed from the girl's chest, draining her power from her body. The bright morning sunlight pierced through the deep blue sea, enveloping the girl in shimmering light. She reached out to try to grasp that light, but her body slowly sank, sinking into the endless, dark trench. The girl's eyes gradually closed.

When Cheng Fei turned to look down at Ding Sheng, a murderous intent, like that of a raging lion, surged in the boy's eyes, like a surge of plasma, and his marble-carved muscles trembled and tensed.

Aside from Lin Xuanqi, he had never wanted to kill anyone like this before.

Ding Sheng looked up and met the boy's gaze, instinctively taking a step back. Then, regaining his senses and recalling the boy's earlier performance, he shook his head. "You are no match for me. Answer me, who are you people? We can make your death quicker."

"I'm in a hurry," Cheng Fei said softly, looking at him.

The system interface appeared before the boy's eyes.

Points: 105,400

Powerful items almost always require 100,000 points to redeem, so he always kept his points at that level.

The boy spent 10,000 points to add more, and the text refreshed rapidly in front of him.

Agility: 8 → 9

Slow learners say time is fleeting and ephemeral, leaving them numb. Exceptional coordination and reflexes allow you to step into the cracks of time and seize any fleeting moment.

Your agility is approaching the limits of human capability. The next upgrade will require 100,000 points to exchange for a supernatural ability.

[Agility·Time Zero → Fully Unlocked]

The boy took a deep breath, looked up and scanned his surroundings. Without activating Time Zero, the world in his eyes had already begun to slow down.

The boy grabbed the railing with one hand and flipped down with an unusually light and easy motion, sliding down to the lower deck and landing on his feet.

In the boy's eyes, Ding Sheng opened his mouth as if to speak, then froze.

Cheng Fei concentrated and activated Time Zero with all his might.

Time zero, slowed down fifty times.

Suddenly, the waves on the sea surface froze, the struggling drowning person froze, and even the blowing sea breeze froze.

The world as seen through the boy's eyes had almost completely come to a standstill.

The air became even more severe than the viscous paste, as if it had completely solidified.

In such a world, the boy takes his first steps and runs.

Every time he lifts his leg, he has to go all out; every swing of his arm is like wrestling with a strongman. The veins in his neck and limbs are bulging, his heart is pounding like a drum, his lungs are contracting and expanding like bellows, blood plasma carrying red blood cells is rushing through his blood vessels, delivering a continuous supply of oxygen to his muscle cells, and a large amount of adenosine triphosphate is hydrolyzed, driving actin to contract.

As he broke through the air resistance, the boy felt his skin begin to burn, and a strange heat wave swept over him. A white mist condensed in the air in front of him.

The boy realized he was approaching the sound barrier and, rationally, should slow down, otherwise he would get hurt. But at that moment, all he wanted was to kill Ding Sheng as quickly as possible.

He continued to accelerate, running faster and faster, reaching a speed almost the same as normal running in a world slowed down fifty times, rushing towards Ding Sheng.

Ripples appeared in front of him, forming shockwaves that pushed out to the left and right. The plastic tables and chairs not far away were hit by the shockwaves first, and as if entering a state of weightlessness, they all slowly left the ground.

Cheng Fei approached Ding Sheng, leaped up with his legs, and clenched his right fist to smash towards him.

Ding Sheng responded slowly, raising his arms to protect his head and upper body like a shield, and bending his legs to lower his center of gravity.

Cheng Fei adjusted the direction of his punch, aiming at the center of the undefended torso below his elbow.

What is a long process in time zero is less than a blink of an eye in the real world.

The boy who broke the sound barrier rushed towards Ding Sheng like a ballistic missile re-entering the atmosphere from outside, leaving even the whistling of the air behind him.

Just before his fist was about to reach Ding Sheng's torso, a strangely shaped dagger appeared out of thin air.

[Three-pointed dagger: A sharp weapon, said to be more likely to cause enemies to bleed or short-circuit]

Ding Sheng was completely unaware.

Driven by immense kinetic energy, the dagger pierced through Ding Sheng's mechanical parts like an armor-piercing bullet, penetrating the intricate internal cables and pipes, and embedding itself deeply inside.

A crackling sound of electricity exploded inside Ding Sheng's body, and his limbs suddenly froze.

Cheng Fei twisted the dagger forcefully and pulled it out.

Ding Sheng looked down at the hole in his chest, where sparks of electricity flickered. He looked up abruptly, his expression turning to horror. "What did you do? What did you do?!"

The boy, who had been deactivated from his zero state, swallowed hard, panting, and stared at him with extreme vigilance.

Ding Sheng's right leg suddenly lost strength, and he fell to the ground at an angle. Then his other arm also fell limply to the ground.

Cheng Fei activated Time Zero again, charged towards his opponent who had shown an opening, and threw a sonic-barrier straight punch at his face.

Ding Sheng raised his head and stared wide-eyed at the boy's enlarging fist.

Just as a supersonic fighter jet streaked through the clouds, an explosion, seemingly from nowhere, echoed above the sinking cruise ship. Everyone looked up, their faces blank.

498. The boy was unaware.

"You... these bank dogs... lend an umbrella on a sunny day and take it away when it rains, sooner or later you will..."

The words, broken and fragmented, were squeezed out with difficulty from the throat of the cyborg lying on the ground, his flesh mangled, before abruptly ending.

Without a word, Cheng Fei loosened his bloodied fist, quickly searched his body, stood up, and looked towards the open deck at the stern of the ship.

The first mate, who witnessed everything, felt a chill run down his spine, swallowed hard, and ran desperately backward.

The boy frowned as he watched this scene and turned his head to look at the sea.

He cannot afford to waste his time.

At this moment, two figures who had been lying in ambush rushed out from beside the first mate who was running away in a panic. One of them tripped him down, and the other pounced on him and pinned his hands behind his back.

Wan Haoran kicked away the pistol that had fallen to the side, and Fu Qian used cable ties to bind the first mate's wrist.

Once the two had the situation under control, they turned to look at the other side of the battlefield, where the boy who had been standing earlier had already disappeared.

As the seawater approached the upper deck, the remaining people on the cruise ship were in grave danger.

Under the command of the third mate, crew members piloted a rescue boat to retrieve the empty lifeboat that had been accidentally released from the port side earlier, and drove it to the side of the sinking cruise ship to retrieve as many of the remaining people as possible.

Near the sea, lifeboats filled with survivors can be seen everywhere, along with empty inflatable life rafts and life rings drifting on the waves.
