Chapter 345: 319 Trouble 3

Doot...

Once the phone connects, there will be a location trace.

If Haini has the relevant equipment on her end, then she’ll definitely know that he has already left.

Li Chengyi gently pressed the answer button.

The waiting tone disappeared, replaced by a burst of rapid breathing and the sound of fierce wind.

"Big Brother...." Haini’s voice carried hesitation, struggle, pain, but distinctly no resentment.

"Why would the people from Utopia be looking for you? Who exactly are you!?"

"Don’t confront them in person, Utopia’s power is too strong..." Li Chengyi anxiously responded.

"It’s already too late..." Haini interrupted him, her tone tinged with a hint of anger and helplessness.

"Maybe it’s our destiny...." she murmured softly.

Inside the underground base.

Haini held the phone, standing at the docking point for the amphibious ship they had prepared for themselves.

The ship that should have been there was now gone.

She held the phone, seeming to suddenly understand something, a hint of sorrow flashing through her eyes.

"Haini? Haini?" Li Chengyi’s voice still came through the phone.

But at this moment, she no longer cared about anything.

Whether the other party had lied to her, at this very moment, she no longer had a way out.

"Run, quickly. I’ll hold off the pursuers for you one last time. Regardless of who you are, if this is the fate my brother and I were doomed to have... I hope the end will be somewhat presentable...."

Haini’s pink eyes glowed faintly red in the gloomy underground dock.

She hung up the call, casually crushed the phone in her hand, and tossed it into the pool that led to the sea.

Turning around, she saw two figures that had quickly followed and appeared in the cave of the underground base.

One of the women, with an eyepatch, was holding a blood-covered, unconscious man with one hand.

It was unmistakably her brother, Lekra.

"Looks like you ran in the wrong direction?" the woman with the eyepatch said with a smirk.

"Were you abandoned?" Charlemagne Card crossed his arms, white metallic armor began manifesting around his body.

It wasn’t so much that armor was appearing as it was that he had been wearing it from the start.

Previously, it had been disguised as a normal person using a specialized stealth field.

It was an entirely white suit of armor, slender and light, the kind that upon sight would make one think of a bird.

Decorative, sharp wing-like features of white unfurled slowly from behind him, their span no more than two meters.

Spiked, white plumes rose from the top of the helmet like a rooster’s comb.

The eyes were the most distinctive feature.

Unlike other armors, this one’s eyes glowed with a deep blue light, oversized and compelling.

Within those pupils, there was an even finer set of pupils.

Had there been a connoisseur present, they might have recognized at a glance that this was the Grade Six standard modification module suit from Red Temple—the Demon King of Chongming.

But this Demon King of Chongming seemed different from the rest, clearly having been enhanced step by step by Charlemagne Card, with performance that had certainly seen many battles.

To use a Grade Six modification suit as the main body, and even reach the level of a department head—it was clear this suit was far beyond the original Grade Six.

In the gloomy underground cave.

Stalactites hung from the ceiling, dripping water droplets that shattered into many particles as they hit the stones below.

Lights placed in corners were like white rods, crossing around the three people.

"Tell me the direction Li Chengyi left in, and I might... give you a quicker death." Charlemagne Card, fully enveloped in his modification module armor, walked slowly toward Haini.

"Red Tomb." Haini raised her right hand, a red ceremonial short sword with intricate circuits etched into it slid out from her sleeve.

"Here, Haini." The sword spoke in a deep female voice.

"It’s time to fight with all we’ve got." Haini looked at her brother, who was unconscious and severely injured.

"Everything is the choice of fate." A red light illuminated from a crack in the short sword’s hilt, where a bas-relief of a woman resembling her opened her arms, lit up.

"Oh? Got some last trick up your sleeve?" Charlemagne Card showed a faint interest.

"Too bad, if I weren’t tracking a target, I would wait for you to fully activate it and use it, but now...."

Boom!!

In an instant, White Shadow appeared in front of Haini like a beam of light, with one slash.

A sonic boom blasted through the air as ripples spread out like water waves.

Charlemagne Card held his sword with one hand, slashing downward at an angle.

His lips still wore a casual smile.

As if the machine was simply having a chat during a walk, not fighting, and doing it all effortlessly.

But that terrifying speed, akin to a beam of light, caused the invisible barrier that had just formed in front of Haini to shatter like a bubble.

With a crisp crackling sound.

She was hit by the powerful blast and thrown backward, crashing into the cave wall.

Debris fell.

Haini herself was embedded in the wall, coughing up blood.

The Flying Yi Red Tomb hovered at her side, its red glow much dimmer than before.

"I... won’t accept this..." Haini struggled, pulling her right hand out of the wall.

Blood oozed continuously from the wounds on her back, the back of her head, and her pale skin.

But her extraordinary healing powers quickly closed up the wounds and healed them.

"Code Law: Blood Demon!!!"

Suddenly, a shock wave erupted from Haini’s body, a twisted and searing blast of air, blasting her right off the wall into the air.

The Flying Yi Red Tomb orbited her rapidly, its speed increasing faster and faster.

Twice the speed of sound, three times, five times!

The terrible sonic booms shook the cave again, causing dust to fall.

Ripples of air spread from Haini as the center.

In a flash of red light, the Flying Yi beside Haini turned into five blood-red whips, lashing out at Charlemagne Card in the room at five times the speed of sound.

At the same time, five oppressive force fields enveloped all the cave areas within a hundred meters.

The metal structures of the makeshift docks began to contort and collapse under the pressure of these fields.

The horrific power made Haini, at that moment, seem like the legendary vampire seductress, captivating yet savage.

But...

Whoosh!

The White Shadow flickered, and Charlie appeared instantly at her side and slightly behind her.

With a smile on his face, the white longsword in his hand cut through the gravity field and the blood whip attacks with ease, as if unhindered.

It was as if the two were performing a dance in perfect unison.

Whoosh!

The white longsword, light as a bird’s claw, gently brushed against Haini’s body.

In an instant, everything disappeared.

The force field around Haini, the gravity field, the Flying Yi blood whips—all seemed like illusions, slowly fading away in that moment.

She floated in midair, dumbstruck, with a vacant look in her eyes.

"I...."

Pfft!!

A soft noise.

Her upper garment was completely split in two, revealing her snow-white, delicate skin underneath.

No trace of blood, no wound, only faint purple electric arcs crawling on her body, like purple tree roots.

"Such a beautiful body... I haven’t experimented on an Immortal’s body yet, this time my luck doesn’t seem bad." Charlemagne Card licked his lips.

He wasn’t a complete Reinforced Human, but rather still had the main body’s armor and was a compatible Feiyi Master.

Thus, he still had human desires and was interested in the extremely rare Immortals who underwent the eternal life procedure.

"Don’t forget the target," the one-eyed woman below frowned and said.

"Relax, Li Chenqing. I’ve already set up an invisible alarm perimeter around the area. The moment he touches it, I’ll immediately sense it.

With our speed, he won’t escape." Charlie said with a smile.

Haini grasped her dress, covering the vital parts of her body, as blood unfailingly flowed from her mouth.

"Such... fate...."

Her eyes rested on the unconscious Lekra.

"Brother... sorry, it’s my fault that I dragged you down..."

A dazzling red light began to shine on the Red Tomb beside her.

It was a harbinger of the self-destruct energy module activation.

Whoosh!

Unfortunately, a terrifying White Shadow flashed by, and Charlie lightly squeezed the Red Tomb in his hand.

Crack.

The red glow of the Red Tomb rapidly dimmed and became unresponsive.

Without the support of the Flying Yi, Haini’s body quickly plummeted.

Her bright eyes flashed with the years of her past two centuries of life.

’If only I hadn’t met that person... maybe...’ She regretted...

"If... we hadn’t come to Naxi this time..."

"If... we hadn’t let him on board halfway..."

"If..."

One after another, ifs flooded her mind.

Her body drifted downwards heavily, like a leaf falling in the wind, gently swaying.

A day of love.

A day of fate.

A day of disillusionment.

"Do you hate me?"

A voice sounded in her ear.

"I...." Haini’s lifeless eyes suddenly startled, "hate."

She answered seriously.

Pfft.

A pair of large arms gently caught her from below.

Li Chengyi silently looked into her eyes.

He felt no negative emotions arising.

So, where was her hate?

Was this woman an idiot??!

It was the first time he had met such a foolish woman. Just for a twenty-four-hour acquaintance, she could nonsensically go this far for him...!?

"You shouldn’t have made that phone call." Li Chengyi gently placed her on the ground.

"And I shouldn’t have answered it."

Haini looked at him steadily, her eyes murky and complicated, like a pond muddied with sediment.

"I knew it, you’re not a con artist!"

But quickly, the expression in her eyes turned to one of urgency.

"Run! They are ministers from Utopia! Far more than ordinary...."

Her voice cut off abruptly.

Numerous Golden Gladiolus Petals suddenly appeared around them, like countless golden sparkles, revolving and dancing like meteorites.

"This is...!!?"

"Fortress."

In an instant, a streak of white light shot out, approaching Li Chengyi with the speed of lightning.

Ten times the speed of sound, the terrifying speed that Han Qi and Chen Zonghan had once unleashed. At this moment, it was nearly ghostly, employed by Charlie.

He didn’t wait for Li Chengyi and Haini to speak; instead, he took the opportunity to move quickly, getting close for an instant kill.

In that terrifying ultra-high-speed state.

Everything around seemed to stand still.

The White Shadow that Charlie turned into, shot towards Li Chengyi at high speed, the white longsword drawing a crescent moon, slashing towards his chest.

The giant crescent moon, along with Haini, seemed to split the two in half, cutting them off completely.

As a minister of Utopia, he showed no regard for his status or face, directly launching a sneak attack!

But at that moment.

Sections of massive translucent pale-golden walls rose from the ground, staunchly blocking in front of Li Chengyi and her.
