?Chapter 96: Chapter 95: I, The Protector of the Beast Eared Girl!_1 Chapter 96: Chapter 95: I, The Protector of the Beast Eared Girl!_1 Time rewound to eight minutes ago.
Ai Xue and Chen Momo looked at Luo Xi, who had unknowingly slipped into a daydreaming state, with some speechlessness.
“Xiao Xue, why does your senior seem to daydream so much? He even spaces out while eating?”
“Shhh, don’t talk, I’m going to take some photos of the senior.”
Ai Xue took out her phone and snapped several pictures of Luo Xi’s face.
Hehe, even when he’s daydreaming, the senior looks so handsome~
Luo Xi’s eyebrows twitched as he picked up a piece of fatty beef and put it in his mouth, indicating that he hadn’t fallen asleep yet.
Of course, his attention had indeed focused on the text.
[Traveler, Chu Tian pulled you into a side alley, where some people who had hidden themselves were those Winter City residents who had been demonstrating in the parade earlier.]
[Traveler, you ask, “Who is Justice Delkus?”]
[“I heard about it yesterday at the casino.”
Chu Tian explained to you with panting breaths, “This Justice Delkus’s name is absolutely notorious in this Winter City. From seventy-year-old men to three-year-old children, anyone would be scared off by this name. Even the most heinous murderers turn cowardly at the sight of him.”]
[Traveler, you notice that the people around you suddenly change their gaze toward you, some distancing themselves as if they had seen the plague.]
[A man in his thirties spoke in a heavy tone, “Gentlemen, have you come from a city outside? Let me warn you, in Winter City’s public places, don’t talk carelessly about the negative aspects of Justice Delkus. You might find yourself shackled and sent to the tribunal for a death sentence tomorrow. It’s said that those sentenced to death have been turned into living dead creatures—so difficult to die they can.”]
Luo Xi: “…”
Through these descriptions, he could now roughly confirm that this Justice Delkus was indeed the boss of the special mission—Purging of Necromancy—that he had triggered before.
How was he supposed to make such a significant figure pay for his crimes?
Could a verbose argument persuade him to commit suicide?
[Some sneered, “I bet Justice Delkus has his eye on those Variants. Good riddance, filthy Variants should all be killed by Delkus to stop polluting our Winter City environment.”]
[Others disagreed, “Your thinking is wrong. We should keep some Variants. We just need to make them leave the Inner City. If they’re all killed, who will work in our mines and fields?”]
[Traveler, the more you listen to these people, the more desolate this world feels. They really never considered Mutant Patients as human beings.]
[“Let’s go; since Justice is here, everyone should leave for today. Let’s come back in a few days to see the situation. Also, why is it getting colder and colder? I’m already freezing after so little time outside.”]
[As some people lead the way to leave, more and more residents squeezed in this small alley started to exit through other exits.]
[Traveler, you should also go back. I wonder how Cat Cat is doing.]
[Chu Tian suddenly said, “Brother Luo, wait! Did you hear that noise?”]
[Chu Tian moved towards the alley exit a bit, his face changed color.]
[Then, you saw him completely walk out.]
[Traveler, seeing this, you followed as well. You saw the young man’s face puzzled and angry: “How can they beat up Beast Eared Girl like that? Don’t these people have any compassion?”]
[Note: We’re not clear why he’s angry.]
[…]
[You looked in the direction of Chu Tian’s gaze.]
[At the exit of the gathering place, several people dressed as guards were kicking a woman together.]
[The woman curled up, seemingly protecting something. After the guards kicked her once more, you saw clearly that it was a young girl.]
[Was the woman her mother?]
[Unexpectedly, the woman’s expression calmed down, as if from the start, she had no expectations.]
[“Brother Luo, I really can’t stand this any longer.”]
[Traveler, you saw the young man’s expression turn from angry to serious, “I have to do something.”]
[Chu Tian wrapped a scarf around his face, and took out a big sword from his bag. Without a word, he charged towards the guards, yelling:
“Bastards! Let go of that Beast Eared Girl!”]
[The young man moved quickly like the wind. In an instant, he was in front of the guards. To their astonishment, he swung his sword at them.]
[A guard picked up a spear and jabbed it, hitting the back of Chu Tian’s sword, then flipped it and smacked his back.]
[Snap!—]
[Chu Tian fell down.]
[Ding! Your Shock Value +30]
Luo Xi: “…”
Somehow, as he looked at the textual description, he felt like laughing at that guy, yet he couldn’t bring himself to do so.
The characters in the Dream world correspond to their subconscious in reality, which implies that if such a situation occurred in real life, Chu Tian would probably rush forward and do something similar.
What about me?
If I saw such a scene, what would I do?
[Ding! Traveler, you have triggered the Free Mission: Redemption (I)]
[Briefing of the Mission: These Mutant Patients from Grey Stone Street have fallen into an unknown fate. Traveler, do you have the power to redeem their destiny, or are you just a witness to their fate?
(Stage one): Witnessing the defenseless mother and daughter being abused by the guards, what do you wish to do at this moment, Traveler?]
[Reward: Random Talent Draw x1 (range between White—Blue)]
[Description: Perhaps, you have become a part of their fate as well?]
[Ding! Traveler, you have triggered temporary Dreamland synchronization.]
[This synchronization time lasts for 30 minutes, not counting toward the usual Dreamland synchronization module use time.]
[Would you like to use it?]
Luo Xi sprang up from his seat and walked towards the exit of the hot pot restaurant.
Ai Xue and Chen Momo exchanged bewildered glances.
“Senior, where are you going?”
“I’m stuffed, need to hit the restroom.”
“Oh…..”
Luo Xi didn’t head for the restroom; instead, he found a massage chair near the entrance of a nearby movie theater and lay down on it.
He squinted his eyes.
Come to think of it, why should he worry so much?
Worst comes to worst, he could just reset once.
He remembered that he seemed to have something good that he hadn’t used yet, right?
It was a good opportunity to try it out.
[Yes]
[Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~]
…
Luo Xi lightly touched the hat on his head and heard angry voices in the distance.
“Where did this lunatic come from? He comes up and wants to chop people?!”
“Everyone just keep hitting, if he dies, I’ll take responsibility!”
The sounds of punches and kicks came through, especially clear amidst the wind and snow.
One could only imagine how badly Chu Tian was being beaten.
[Do you want to take out the ‘Essence Power Armor’?]
[Yes]
In the empty snowy field, a three-meter-tall black metallic armor suddenly appeared.
Luo Xi, just like the first time, opened the hatch and entered.
He took off his hat and watched as the ordinary-looking cap twisted into countless runes and entered deep into the power armor.
[Power core load complete (Current Yuan Su reserve can be used continuously for: 15 minutes)]
[Mithril mechanism operating normally]
[Visual/Perception/Limb/Spirit synchronization modules activated]
[Essence Power Armor—Prototype, has been successfully rebooted]
The moment the reboot was successful, his view became clear all at once, no longer obscured by fog.
Luo Xi took a deep breath.
Whoosh—
White steam spurted from the back of the armor, instantly turning into shattered ice crystals, like pure white sacred lotuses.
…
Chu Tian barely kept his eyes open and laughed through the beating, “Uh… I’m telling you, you’ve gotten into big trouble… Even if I die here today, one day I will return to eliminate the injustice in this place!”
The guard was furious, “Still talking tough?!” Sear?h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“As a pure-blooded human, have you lost your mind? We’re beating a Variant and you want to attack us?!”
“You want to save these two Variants, don’t you? Today, I’ll send you all on your way together! I’ll let you see how these two women die first!”
The long spear swept past Chu Tian’s face and stabbed towards the women behind him.
Chu Tian abruptly leaned his shoulder, barely deflecting the long spear slightly off course.
Though he knew his effort was futile.
He looked back with a hint of despair.
The woman, holding her daughter, closed her eyes.
I’m sorry, I can’t save you now…
Boom boom boom!—
The guards sneered, ready to continue with their spears, but the sudden heavy noise startled everyone.
What the hell was that?
When they saw the power armor, ejecting a massive amount of ice crystals from its back and charging towards them,
everyone’s gaze instantly froze.
Damn, isn’t that the type of power armor only the Mansion of the City Lord has?
A guard stepped forward, holding his spear, and shouted, “Stop right there! This area is under the supervision of the Mansion of the City Lord!”
However, the armor was extremely fast and, in a moment, it reached the guard. In the disbelieving stares of the crowd, it punched out, and the sandbag-sized iron fist smashed the spear and hit the guard in the stomach, sending him flying into the shanty area.
The remaining guards were bewildered.
Why would a comrade under the City Owner suddenly attack them?
Could it be another madman like this lunatic?
Chu Tian, though baffled, seized the moment to run off to one side with the woman.
Luo Xi inside the power armor was also bewildered.
The text that appeared before his eyes refreshed with many lines.
[Ding! Traveler, you have earned the title: Protector of the Beast Eared Lolita]
[Description: Only by following your own heart, and after protecting two or more young Variant girls in the Dream World, can you gain this title. Once equipped, all Beast Eared Little Lolitas will have an inherent Favorability boost of +10 towards you]
???
What kind of a bizarre title is this?
[Note: I, the Protector of the Beast Eared Lolita!—Traveler, from now on, when you encounter an enemy, you can proudly shout out this sentence to shock them]
Damn text, are you sure they won’t die laughing instead?!
