NABC Chapter 44 Love and Death
Chapter 44 Love and Death
When Longying slowly opened its eyes, everything it saw filled it with panic.
"Welcome to my boundless inner world." Su An's calm and serene voice echoed in the starry sky.
It looked up and saw a dazzling starry sky. The stars were like countless diamonds adorning black velvet, shimmering with a faint yet resolute light. On one side of the sky, the Milky Way flowed slowly like a silver river. A shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving a brief but bright trail.
In the very center of the starry sky, a black-haired, blue-eyed boy raised his hand, his fingers forming a gun shape.
He pointed the finger-made gun at the dragon's shadow and said, "Boundless Emptiness."
Centered on Su An's body, a domain instantly expanded.
Externally, it appears as a huge black sphere; internally, it appears as an endless expanse of white light and nothingness, after which the entire space turns pitch black.
The dragon shadow turned around in horror, and behind it appeared an extremely huge eye, like a black hole.
Those eyes seemed to contain the sum of all knowledge in the world; just looking into them would drive one mad.
The dragon's image appears to be bound by invisible chains, its body floating slowly and uncontrollably.
At this moment, it is the real prey.
Su An stared at the dragon shadow, his smile like that of a hunter seeing its prey step into a trap.
"The Boundless Void is a technique that is performed within an unlimited space."
"Perception and communication" will be compelled to be performed countless times in order to live.
This is a mental shock that manifests as an endless stream of information being forced into the mind, putting the opponent in a state of "information pouring in without end".
Next, you'll find yourself able to see everything, yet unable to do anything, only slowly waiting to die.
In an instant, endless information flooded into the dragon's head like a tidal wave.
Perception, communication, death.
The senses and instincts of living beings are constantly amplified, yet they can do nothing about it.
Within that domain, you can see nothing and feel nothing.
Or rather, you can see and hear everything.
In an instant, all the information within the domain was gathered together.
Regardless of its importance or what it is, it is all forcibly and directly entered into the brain.
The dragon's eyes immediately received countless chaotic pieces of information, and its soul and mind were repeatedly impacted by the amount of information received. The dragon's body stood still due to brain overload.
Then, with a "poof," the dragon exploded.
The domain was dispelled, and filthy dragon blood and organs sprayed all over Ye Sheng and Aki's bodies.
They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with awe at the S-class rating.
"We survived!" Aki cried tears of joy and hugged Ye Sheng tightly.
"Su An, I owe you one life, no, two lives." Ye Sheng's eyes were also glistening with tears.
Cheers came through the communication channel from Kassel students, who chanted a name in unison—
"Su An!" "Su An!" "Su An!"
Everyone cheered, and several A-level students surrounded Su An, even handing him a beautiful bottle of champagne.
Caesar quickly raised the champagne saber and gently tapped the top of the champagne bottle. The golden liquid gushed out with the foam, seemingly praising Suan's achievements.
Only Su An remained serious.
"Ye Shengya, don't linger! Bronze City is alive! You must leave immediately!"
The dark blue dragon blood seeped into the walls of the Bronze City, activating the city's defense system.
The passageway began to change, the mechanisms meshed and turned, and the bronze began to compress the space. In a few minutes, Ye Sheng and Ya Ji would be crushed in this passage.
"If I can see through a city once, I can see through it again!"
After using the Boundless Void, Su An was already exhausted, but he still mustered his strength to search for Ye Shengya's way out.
He looked up at the screen, and miraculously opened his blue eyes again, his eyes reflecting a galaxy.
He extended his bony fingers and slid them across the huge screen, his eyes scanning every nook and cranny of the map, like a lawyer reviewing a crucial contract for a multinational transaction, or NASA scientists making a final check of the space shuttle's trajectory for launch.
Those standing around him held their breath. At this moment, everyone understood that he was the key to their escape, and their last hope rested on this great S-class.
"Damn it! Faster! Faster! Faster!" Su An roared inwardly, "Give them a way out!"
Su An's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He pressed his fingertip against the screen and swiped it down hard.
"Ye Shengya, this is your way out!"
Ye Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, a pale golden light filling his pupils. The moment Su An's route entered his ears through the "snake," a clear red line suddenly appeared on the ever-changing map in his mind, going down, down, straight down, passing through the gaps between the walls, through the passageway, and even through the solid bronze wall, finally emerging from directly below.
"Is this the road?" Ye Sheng couldn't tell.
The experience just now proved the reliability of this S-rank individual; he never makes a mistake, and he is destined to be a miracle for Kassel College. However, Ye Sheng and Aki cannot cross those bronze walls; the path Su An provided is impassable.
Moreover, they would have to dive into the water right now, and swimming would deplete their last bit of oxygen and strength. Ye Sheng knew how painful it was to die of suffocation, so he figured it was better to end his life with his head above water.
"How many times do I have to tell you? Listen to me! Get down here!"
Su An's domineering voice rang out in the corridor, urging him on.
Ye Sheng shuddered violently, as if a thousand needles were pricking his entire body. He finally understood!
That's the road!
Su An has already grasped the operating rules of this bronze city. When they reach those thick walls, the bronze city's own operation will create new paths there.
It's actually very simple. Just keep going down. This is the last way to escape. But if you're not fast enough, you'll lose your life... either trapped in a dead end with no exit, or crushed by the slowly closing gap.
He truly lives up to his S-class reputation; he always manages to create miracles.
"Direction straight down, Ye Sheng, Jiu Deya, prepare to escape!" Ye Sheng's voice echoed in the front cabin.
"Directly below?" Mans was taken aback, then he received a newly drawn escape map from Suan, a student in Kassel.
It was a straight line, piercing out of the Bronze City from directly below!
"Calculate the distance!" Mans shouted.
"Forty-five meters!" Selma said. "We only have three minutes of oxygen left!"
"Adding the time they have to hold their breath underwater, they'll be just the right amount of time to escape at their speed!" The first mate's voice was so cheerful it was almost soaring to the heavens.
"The helicopter from the Chinese maritime rescue agency will arrive in about ten minutes," Sanfu said excitedly. "They have complete life-saving equipment and will be there to pick up Ye Sheng and Yaji."
"So this is what they call 'dog shit luck' in Chinese?" Mans snapped his fingers smugly and gave the order: "Ye Shengya, get out immediately!"
Submerged in the Three Gorges, Aki whispered to Ye Sheng, "I love you."
Ye Sheng also responded softly, "I love you too."
Suddenly, Aki Shutoku remembered Mai Shutoku's face.
They hadn't seen each other for many years.
If I manage to come back safely, I'll go see my sister.
Aki thought about it and smiled.
