Chapter 147: 136 Peace of Mind 2

She heard no movement outside.

The black figure above had also left.

The gray wooden door didn’t appear again either.

Rainbow Candy waited for a while, planning to slowly deactivate her Life Garment.

But she had no idea.

To her right, about half a meter away from the wall, a black figure was standing there quietly.

The figure didn’t move, its back pressed against the wall surface, silent, just like her.

That position was exactly in a blind spot of the Life Garment’s observation.

Rainbow Candy knew nothing about this.

’I must save the Life Garment for later use. I don’t know how long I’ll have to stay here, so I need to gather as much intelligence as possible.’

At this moment, she was recalling the gray wooden door she had encountered earlier.

Technical devices are sometimes effective, sometimes not, depending on which components are affected in the blind spot.

So, she planned to sketch the door quickly after deactivating the Life Garment, to avoid forgetting it later.

Hiss...

Under Rainbow Candy’s mental control.

The Life Garment slowly dissolved, flowing like liquid metal, converging towards the silver-black small circular box shape on her chest, returning to its previous form.

As the Life Garment retracted.

Rainbow Candy also emerged from the wall, she put away the Life Garment and took a deep breath.

’At last....’ She was hesitant whether to go up or down.

Suddenly, she felt something fluttering on her cheek, tickling her.

’Is my hair this long?’ She turned her head in confusion.

"!!!"

The black figure with disheveled hair was standing right behind her, close to her!

And that hair wasn’t hers!

It was the black figure’s hair draping over her shoulder!

"Ah!!!" Rainbow Candy reflexively opened her mouth and screamed.

Whirr!!

Instantly a golden swirl of light sped over and stuck fiercely into the wall between the black figure and Rainbow Candy.

An invisible light released, illuminating the surroundings.

A warm field of light, like that of the sun, enveloped both Rainbow Candy and the black figure at the same time.

The black figure jittered as though electrocuted and tried to back away.

But before she could retreat, a golden figure abruptly stepped out from above, turned around, and raised a hand.

Boom!!

A beam of golden light burst forth explosively.

A massive Golden Giant Hand, under the power of the Soft Qi Eruption, instantly bridged the distance of several meters, grabbed the black figure, and slammed it against the wall with a thunderous crash.

Like an explosion, the wall shattered, the black figure was squashed into a mass, and was pressed into the wall.

Whir.

The invisible light scorched the figure intensely.

She wriggled, trying to move, but was extracted by the Golden Giant Hand, which then grasped her upper body and started to ruthlessly slam her into the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

The ground shook madly, emitting huge sounds and a numbing vibration with each blow.

The evolved Radiance Field, like flames burning paper, was turning the black figure into strands of black smoke.

After a dozen continuous smashes.

Li Chengyi released the Golden Giant Hand, and only a strand of black hair remained in the palm.

Soon, this last strand of hair was also burned into black smoke by the Radiance Field, slowly dissipating.

Watching Rainbow Candy, who stood there stunned, he withdrew the Giant Hand and turned it back into his own right arm.

"Sorry, it’s a bit large here, had to fight my way through," he said.

A deep voice came from under the helmet, a calm and raspy tone different from Li Chengyi’s.

"It’s....it’s okay..." Rainbow Candy looked at the now shattered and messy stairwell around her.

The ground was full of pits and cracks, chunks of the wall had fallen off here and there.

Holes smashed open above her head, partially revealing the situation on the next floor...

She looked up at Li Chengyi.

In her eyes, he was not Li Chengyi but Xiao Hao.

There was no light here; the only source was the crystal disc on the chest of his golden armor.

The crystal filled with Golden mist emitted bright light, illuminating everything around.

He was clad in mirror-like gleaming, heavy armor, with the shape of the helmet resembling a mountain and three upward spikes.

Two spiky antennae-like protrusions flew back from the sides of the helmet, adorned with wing-feather patterns.

On his left arm was a golden arm shield, and his right was a tower shield-sized Golden Giant Hand.

Numerous twisted patterns, resembling Sunflower petals, covered the entire armor.

At this moment, Rainbow Candy, looking up at Li Chengyi on the staircase, was momentarily dazed.

"Let’s go," Li Chengyi turned and headed upstairs.

"Wait... wait! Brother Xiao Hao, your sword!" Rainbow Candy suddenly came to her senses and turned back to look at the Golden Sword embedded in the wall.

But she couldn’t see any trace of it.

She was taken aback again, then quickly chased after him upstairs.

As she drew near, she immediately felt a series of warm sensations emanating from his body.

"Brother Xiao Hao, how did you find me? Where is Brother Cheng?" This was her first encounter with Xiao Hao.

This extremely mysterious Reinforced Human was very powerful, and his temper was said to be quite volatile, ready to swing his sword at the slightest provocation.

Even an organization as terrifying as Utopia had lost many of its Reinforced Humans to his blade.

His personality was said to be quite extreme.

Given that he had truly saved her just now,

She was very cautious in speaking to him.

"He’s here too; we got separated," Li Chengyi answered.

Talking about his own sensation, he felt somewhat strange.

"How do we get out now?" Rainbow Candy asked aloud.

"If we can’t find the original structure, we’ll have to use the Icebreaking Method," Li Chengyi replied.

"I tried that just now, using lots of explosives, but it was no use. This place might involve some supernatural elements," Rainbow Candy said.

"No problem," Li Chengyi responded nonchalantly.

He had already tested upon entering, much like the Silent Store, the monsters inside were all restrained by his Radiance Field.

Moreover...

Not just a few people were going up and down the stairs here, but many.

After he entered, he encountered at least five, all of which were completely eliminated by the Radiance Field.

"Brother Xiao, what do you plan to do?" Rainbow Candy asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Find the main body and then repeatedly destroy it. The core of the Icebreaking Method isn’t in killing the monsters, but in destroying the very foundation of the Blind Spot’s existence,"

Li Chengyi answered.

"The foundation of this endless staircase is..." Rainbow Candy suddenly realized.

"Stairs!" Her eyes lit up as if she understood.

"Just trying something," Li Chengyi said indifferently.

"How do you want to try? Brother Xiao, just say what you need from me, I still have some little toys here!" Rainbow Candy quickly said.

After the hair-raising scene just now, having almost lost her life, she now felt even more that joining the team was a wise decision.

Following someone as terrifyingly... uh, good-hearted as Brother Xiao, she felt an explosive sense of safety!

"It’s simple."

Li Chengyi’s voice was calm as he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

To the side, Rainbow Candy looked at him confusedly, not knowing what he was about to do.

"Hold onto me," Li Chengyi said, extending a hand in front of her.

Rainbow Candy blushed, hesitating a little.

But soon, she was grasped by a large hand on her right arm.

"Don’t be afraid."

"???" Afraid?

Rainbow Candy had not reacted yet.

When suddenly she saw the Golden Armor in front of her faintly brighten.

Hss...

She heard Xiao Hao take a deep breath.

Then...

The Golden Giant Hand rapidly expanded, grew larger, and clenched into a fist.

It smashed downward.

The terrifying power completely erupted at that moment.

After passing through a Soft Qi Enhancement, transferring all of his strength through his body, Li Chengyi fully unleashed the Giant Strength amplified by the Floral Dress, erupting in a smashing fist with his right arm.

Boom!!!

The Giant Hand heavily slammed onto the floor of the stairwell.

The ground caved in, cracked, and burst open, cement shattered into fine particles that splattered against the surrounding walls and continued to break into dust.

The ground collapsed.

The entire stairwell of this floor completely gave way, breaking into several large pieces that fell downward.

Rainbow Candy watched the scene in front of her dumbfounded.

The bombs she brought earlier – out of concern for her own safety – couldn’t possibly have caused such an effect.

But now.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Golden Giant Hand defied the laws of physics, extending continuously and pressing downwards, smashing down floor by floor.

The over five-ton weight of the Giant Hand, once completely released and falling, added to the tremendous force of Li Chengyi’s full eruption.

This force simply was not something the stairwell could withstand.

And the huge counterforce also caused the area where the two were standing to collapse dramatically.

Li Chengyi quickly retreated, pulling her to another segment of the steps.

After the Golden Giant Hand smashed through the fourth-floor stairs, it quickly retracted, returning in front of the two.

"...This is much more powerful than my little spiders..." Rainbow Candy felt numb and weak all over from the shock.

The enormous sound and physical vibrations from earlier made her head feel a bit dizzy.

But miraculously, she felt the dizziness gradually receding amidst a gentle warmth.

"Is this enough?" she asked, looking at Li Chengyi.

"Don’t know. But this should definitely get us through," Li Chengyi replied.

No sooner had he spoken than the environment in front of the two began to distort and blur.

A unique sense of vertigo rose in their hearts.

Hiss...

There was a flash before their eyes.

Rainbow Candy couldn’t help but close her eyes momentarily, and when she opened them again, they were in the lobby of the Botanical Garden Dormitory Building’s first floor.

"Sister Tang!" Da Xiong, seeing her unharmed, charged over excitedly and hugged her tight.

"She’s out! She’s out!!" Da Hei and Xiao Zhong also got excited and hugged each other.

"Sister Tang, I’ll help check you over, I’ve learned how to use Sister Bear’s equipment! There will definitely be no problem!" Dragon Gate Crane approached from the side.

"What about Brother Xiao? Brother Cheng?" It was only then that Rainbow Candy reacted, swatting away Dragon Gate Crane’s dirty hand with a slap.

"Here."

A familiar voice came from the left.

She turned towards the sound.

She saw Li Chengyi meticulously recording something in a black notebook.

"Brother Cheng... Brother Xiao?" Rainbow Candy approached, asking tentatively.

"He went back, don’t worry, he went back for maintenance. According to the level of the Blind Spot, the depth you reached is nothing for him," Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"It’s a pity then, that I didn’t get to be of any use."

Rainbow Candy looked at him steadily for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Anyway, I want to thank you both. Now, with so much detailed information and enough time to buffer, I should be able to slowly make it through the weakened endless staircase on my own."

"Good luck," Li Chengyi said with a smile.

Rainbow Candy extended a hand, spread it open facing upward, and held it still.

Li Chengyi paused for a moment, then lightly slapped it with his hand.

Slap.

The two hands made a crisp sound.
