"For an insignificant person, you abandon your own ship girl and risk your life to fulfill your dream of saving all living beings?"
The observer used a little force to kick Su Xin onto the sea surface, letting the salty sea water lick her wounds. "It's really funny."
The observer looked at Aoba who was standing still on the right, and the four people from Amagi who were quickly closing the distance, then raised the muzzle of the gun again and aimed at Aoba who was unable to move due to fear.
“Sacrifice is a last resort, but it is not unnecessary.”
Energy gathered at the muzzle, and the white light flickered like a star.
"Su Xin, it's time for you to grow up..."
"No, ahem, wait a minute. There must be another way. Wait a moment." Commander Su couldn't get up. He could only watch the ball of light gradually grow bigger.
One second before the launch, she yelled in a slightly out of control manner: "Wait a minute!!!"
"Om-"
The observer subconsciously turned slightly, and the right gun barrel along with two tentacles was cut off by a blue light blade. She looked gloomily at the girl kneeling on the sea in front of her.
[Helena] coughed twice and raised her head. The scarlet stain on the corners of her lips made her look very miserable, but even so, she still supported herself on the sea surface and tried to stand up.
"What qualifications do you have..." Helena coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, put the main gun against her feet, and staggered to her feet.
"Teach me a lesson--!"
Chapter 488: Game 4
"Stop for me."
The observer squinted at the four approaching ship girls and said, "I don't have time to deal with you now. For safety's sake, it's best to retreat."
"As for this childish kid..." She took a look at him and simply wrapped him up with her tentacles and threw him away, out of sight, out of mind. "Take him away, he's like a stone in a toilet."
Tiancheng was shocked and quickly took two steps, took Su Xin into his arms steadily, and looked carefully at the left arm that hung limply, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Don't leave in a hurry. Wait until I have dealt with this idiot, and then I will discuss with you how to deal with this internal traitor."
After the observer finished giving the instructions, he jumped down from the ship and walked straight to Helena on the water with a "patter".
As if admiring the posture of a drowned dog, the observer carefully observed it for a long time, then curled his lips and kicked, knocking away the main gun that Helena used to support her body.
[Helena] tilted her body and was about to fall into the sea, but the observer grabbed her collar with one hand and lifted her up.
"You've ruined my life, do you know that?"
"Ahem," Helena's lips blushed again, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of my attention?"
The glaring red color fell on the observer's pale cheek as he coughed, like a few scattered red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, cold and enchanting.
The observers didn't care at all, but instead started to bring up old issues one by one.
"Test Site No. 3, I have made a plan to make the backbone of the institute turn against the authorities, so that she can set up her own business and speed up the technological progress of the current world."
"You, on the other hand, held that woman captive for two days because you suspected she might be your damn commander, and when you came back you forgot all your research results."
"At the Test Site No. 22, a useless person was dragged across the sub-world by you. He became smarter than anyone else and changed my good development plan beyond recognition."
"Test Site 374, the key figure in the plan, did not live for more than seven days after returning."
The observer squinted his eyes and leaned closer, smiling, but every word pierced his heart, "Your commander is dead, do you understand? Dead!"
"If you think life is meaningless, why not go with her? What's the point of staying in the world and being a nuisance?"
"I really don't understand why you're going through so much trouble for a dead person. Even those guys from the arbitration agency can't do anything to you. I guess you've been on the run for your life a lot."
"Why? Do you think a miracle will happen one day?"
She looked at the little commander who was nestling in Tiancheng's arms, healing his wounds and drinking water obediently, and suddenly curled her lips, "So you think she is the miracle? In order to verify this, she jumped into the pit herself?"
[Helena] closed her eyes and said nothing, allowing the observer to grab her collar and shake her.
"I heard that your commander crossed the border to save your life, but when he came back, his brain was broken and he didn't know how to hide when he was pointed at by a cannon."
"You think... that naive person wouldn't be scared, so you came here?"
[Helena] suddenly raised her secondary gun and hit the observer in the face, then she coughed and corrected: "She... cough, she is not mentally ill... She just doesn't know how to cough, she is afraid..."
The observer loosened his grip and let Helena fall into the water. He then wiped her face. The gray-black smoke and gunpowder turned her white face into a calico cat.
"So you think she is the same? She won't be scared either? Too bad, she just has a simple facial paralysis."
"I think you need to make one thing clear before you die." The observer smiled, "Your commander is dead, and she will not be your salvation."
"Just to enjoy your desperate expression, I... will prove it to you."
[Helena] was stunned, as if she realized something, and quickly propped up her upper body with her hands, turned around and shouted at Tiancheng: "Run!"
Tiancheng obviously didn't react to the sudden attack from his ally, the observer, and was hit on the forehead immediately. The hand holding Su Xin loosened, and he was rolled up by the tentacles again.
The remaining three people wanted to grab it, but were stopped by the Purifier alone. "Don't worry... She won't do anything. She just... wants to prove her point."
The observer held Su Xin's body, forced her to kneel on the sea, and forced her face towards Helena. He then raised the main gun and pressed it against the back of the commander's head.
"Watch carefully to see if she is the one you are looking for. Once you have made your decision, die peacefully!"
[Helena] couldn't stop coughing, and the blood seemed to flow endlessly. It dripped into the sea water, faded in color in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.
Just like when she saw the fear that could not be hidden in Su Xin's eyes, her hope was shattered and weathered.
Su Xin was not afraid at first. When she first arrived, she was even able to deliver equipment to the ship girls under the gunfire, as if being hit by a cannonball was no big deal for a human being.
But for some reason, she now felt afraid and began to resist death. She had many people and many things that she couldn't let go of, and she couldn't be as calm as when she first arrived.
"I think..." Su Xin looked at Helena with trembling lips, "I shouldn't be..."
[Helena] Her glass-like pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, but the tails of her eyes were upturned, as if she was smiling.
"It doesn't matter…"
She stretched out her hand stained with blood and sea water, gently touched Su Xin's cheek, and applied a layer of powder on it.
"I said you...are, well, you...are."
The observer looked at Helena and suddenly felt dazed, as if he saw someone through her. Then he came to his senses and became extremely angry.
"Stubborn!"
The dark muzzle condensed light and moved to point at Helena in front of it. The hair on the back of Su Xin's head curled due to the high temperature.
She noticed it, but for some reason, Su Xin, who was afraid of death, subconsciously raised her hand to block it.
At this distance, if Su Xin tried to cover the barrel of the gun with her bare hands without the cushion of a sturdy dagger, she would be dead given her physical condition.
[Helena] naturally knew it clearly. At this moment, she opened her eyes wide, her mind was blank, and only one picture kept appearing in front of her.
She was a tall woman with brown hair, and she always wore loose clothes, which was her usual casual style.
There was fire all around, buildings were collapsing, and in the distance there was a figure emitting black and red energy, roaring and firing.
She laid on herself who was too badly injured to move, letting the falling steel bars pierce her shoulder blades. Even though blood kept flowing out from the corners of her lips, she still had a smile on her face.
【It doesn't matter. 】
she says.
【You will be saved.】
[I just married you.]
【The good days are yet to come. 】
【It doesn't matter. 】
【It will be ready soon.】
【It doesn't matter. 】
【It doesn't matter…】
...]
The observer saw Su Xin stretching out her hand to block and had no intention of actually firing the cannonball. Just as the energy from the muzzle was slowly being drained away, a blood-stained hand suddenly opened Su Xin's palm and pressed directly on the muzzle.
The whitish energy ball was pressed back into the barrel. Under the shocked expressions of the observers, Helena, who had fallen to the ground exhausted, was slowly getting up by supporting herself with her knees.
Dark energy particles emanated from her body. The wound on her leg healed rapidly, and the remaining blood on the surface of her skin evaporated into mist. The dried blood clots looked like totems, scarlet and enchanting.
She raised her head, her glass-like eyes gleaming with a faint light, the clean whites of her eyes had been eroded by black, like a trapped beast with nowhere to go, launching its final attack.
"I said yes...she is!"
Chapter 489: Game 5
[Helena] pinched the edge of the muzzle with one hand, and when the observer was stunned by the sudden change, she threw both the person and the cannon out.
She didn't even look at the Octopus Girl who adjusted her position in the air and then landed safely. Instead, she lowered her head and helped the pale Su Xin up.
Gray-black energy particles kept peeling off her body, fading in the air, and finally disappearing, making Helena look like a weathering statue.
"Stand...alright."
[Helena]'s voice sounds like a broken bag, mixed with airflow, with a fragmented and rough feeling that makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The skin on his body was like a plastic bag with no elasticity, leaving only a bleak white. His long hair, which originally had a bright luster, also became dull, and the whole person seemed to be burning.
Su Xin had never heard of this kind of condition. Not only did she look weird, but the smell on her body was also mixed with a burnt odor, and it seemed to be mixed with dust, which was very choking.
"This time... I will... stand... in front of you..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Purifier quickly abandoned the ship girls who wanted to pass her and rushed to the side of the Observer, "What's going on?"
"Tsk, this dog is crazy, can't you see?"
The Purifier frowned, obviously not expecting things to turn out like this. How could such a troublesome flaw appear in the plan that was supposed to be foolproof?
She glanced at the observer who was removing the deformed part of the gun muzzle and muttered quietly: "Don't they say that villains die because they talk too much... It's all your fault. If you had solved it earlier, it would have been over..."
The observer's eyes widened, but he didn't know how to refute it. After all, if you really think about it, it was indeed her own fault for being too slow, which led to the excessive meta-ization of "Helena".
"...What now?"
The observer pouted and said, "Just beat her. It will take a few hours anyway. Once her brain is burned out, it will be easy to deal with."
The Purifier felt bitter and complained: "It's all your fault. I was already playing games in the base, but now I have to clean up the mess."
"Hurry up and shut up. If you don't deal with it now, she will blow up your base later." The observer said with a fixed look in his eyes, "Here she comes!"
Just as he finished speaking, Helena, who was not far away, suddenly turned around and fired a shot. The Purifier dodged quickly and rushed out ten meters.
The observer's reaction was not slow either, but when she tried to lift her legs to dodge, she found a dark blue circular plane under her feet, which stopped everything in the area and froze her body in place.
"Fuck!" The observer cursed and was forced to take a shell attack on his face. He was then sent flying out of the area by the force of the explosion and regained control of his body.
[Helena] continued to attack, raising her pale hand towards the observer, then she retracted her five fingers, and six translucent blue light screens instantly gathered to form a cube.
While the observer was busy breaking it from the inside, she condensed a curtain of light and cut towards the center of the cube at an extremely fast speed.
The observer was very anxious, "Don't just stand there and watch! Either break this thing or distract her!"
The Purifier who was about to launch an attack looked at the flying speed of the light curtain and could only adjust the muzzle and directly blasted the cube with one shot, barely moving it away from its original position.
The light curtain flashed by, cutting off one third of the cube, creating a gap and directly flattening one of the observer's main guns.
"What is this...time stop plus space magic? What is this for?"
The Observer got angry when she heard the Purifier complaining about her, "You've played too many games, haven't you? If you want to fight the magician, why don't you just go up and fight him in a hand-to-hand combat!"
The Purifier thought it made sense, so she grabbed her giant hammerhead shark-like ship suit and swung it over, but she didn't expect Helena to not dodge at all.
She seemed to have held a grudge, and faced with the Purifier's attack, she simply raised one hand to block it, while her other hand was still controlling the light curtain in an attempt to cut the observer.
Observers are good at camouflage and naturally have fighting abilities, but they are no match for Purifiers who have no brains and only know how to act cute and fight all day long, so they have a hard time dealing with them.
Mainly because of the elusive time-stop field and strange light curtain, she had to focus on dodging to avoid being caught and dealt with.
The Purifier knew that the situation was serious, and when he saw Helena's attitude of not trying to hide, he was immediately delighted and smashed the ship with all his strength.
With a "click" sound, the hammerhead shark-shaped main gun hit Helena's forearm and deformed it, but before the Purifier could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that he seemed unable to move.
The circular area that appeared behind her clamped her body, forcing the Purifier to watch helplessly as [Helena] twisted her body and kicked her.
There was no way out. The Purifier, who could not dodge, could only hold her breath and prepare for the impending impact. As a result, there was a loud "bang", and her body lightened. She immediately raised her hand to block it with her ship suit.
Helena, who had transferred the time-stopping field, was attacked by the observer, and her energy field became chaotic, causing her kick with the light blade to miss the target, and she only kicked the Purifier away.
