Star Dome Railway: Why Life Sighs
Page 150
A craftsman was looking at the red-hot furnace, waiting patiently. This might be the last time he would make weapons for others.
Next to him, the face of General Huai Yan of Zhu Ming Xian Zhou was reflected on the newspaper. He hadn’t seen that familiar face for seven hundred years…
General Huaiyan, are you disappointed with the star?
Ying Xing eventually became the rich evil creature that he hated the most.
Ying Xing has no face to see you… I feel ashamed of your teachings.
But Ying Xing is already dead… Only the weapon made from his body, the blade, is left. It is a weapon that walks the world, carrying out his revenge and obeying the final orders of its maker.
The Fragmented Sword, Ying Xing’s most accomplished work, had already been shattered like the Five Warriors on the Cloud…
Once some things are broken, even the most skilled craftsmen cannot restore them to their original state.
Chapter 226: Step away
The company’s spacecraft is parked at
Several foxmen approached the company’s spaceship stealthily, and there were several soldiers wearing cloud rider armor leading the way.
“Are you sure? It’s really here.” said a fox man with a frown.
“After you put on the skin of a lowly animal, have you lost even our sense of smell, which we are most proud of?”
“Of course not! It’s just that I always have a bad feeling.”
“We have confirmed several times that the same kind of aura is here…but we don’t know why it appears and disappears.”
“Xuu haa…Isn’t that still a problem?!”
Several people quietly walked to one of the cargo boxes, and several fox people with the identity of craftsmen stood up and began to open the cargo box.
“There are so many of us, why can’t we just smash this broken door!”
“Shut up! Do you want us to waste all this time hiding? When the martial arts ceremony begins, our official action will begin. For Hu Leihan… put away your explosive temper.”
Just as they were about to open the company’s cargo door, everyone present heard a clear sound of footsteps, and they looked towards the source of the sound.
In the pitch-black darkness, a female figure staggered over, emitting a strong smell of alcohol, as if she was intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.
She kept mumbling some unclear words from time to time: “Evil creature… evil creature… I’m so irritated, I want to kill it…”
Suddenly, the fox people looked at each other and instantly transformed into tall Bu Li people, ready to launch a brutal massacre on the uninvited guest.
The Bu Li people quickly pounced on her, tearing her flesh with their sharp claws and pointed teeth, devouring her life.
However, when everyone thought this was just a brief episode, a dazzling golden branch pierced through Bu Liren’s body like lightning, ruthlessly tearing them in half.
“what!!!”
The woman who was torn into pieces by Bu Liren actually grew new flesh and blood in an instant, and those golden branches clung to her body like sharp blades.
She covered her head with both hands, let out a piercing scream, and frantically cut into Bu Liren’s body. At the same time, her mouth grew sharp teeth similar to Bu Liren’s, and she forcefully tore off a huge piece of flesh from Bu Liren. Her body kept shaking and swaying.
The golden branches pierced into Bu Liren’s body, and then Bu Liren’s body gradually shrank as if water, and the vitality contained in the flesh was absorbed in an instant.
The feeding returned to the woman’s body. She opened her somewhat bloodshot eyes and looked at the dozen or so remaining fox-like Cloud Cavalrymen. The unique aura of Bu Li people on them could not deceive her.
“Kill you… I want to… protect Luofu, I want to kill all the enemies of Xianzhou… I want to kill you!!!”
“What kind of monster is this?!”
“Let’s go together and get rid of her quickly.”
These Buli people who were pretending to be foxes also felt the seriousness of the situation. They revealed their true forms and pounced on the woman together.
Dan Shu extended her tongue and gently licked the blood on her fingers. Her body gradually changed, emitting a strange and powerful aura. Her hair gradually turned into a brilliant golden color, flashing a dazzling light. At the same time, a feathered garment of a shuriken appeared on her body, as if she was wearing a layer of mysterious armor. However, all this was just the beginning.
Then, a blood-red color quickly spread out, intertwining with the golden branches. Those branches should have been full of vitality and strength, but now they were stained with Bu Liren’s blood and turned abnormally scarlet. These scarlet branches grew and twisted at an astonishing speed, as if they had life.
Dan Shu did not stop, she continued to move forward, the scarlet branches dancing with her. They easily tore through everything along the way, whether it was a wall or an obstacle, nothing could stop them from moving forward. Even those Bu Li people who tried to resist were mercilessly killed, their heads rolling all over the ground.
Dan Shu’s steps were light and firm, and she seemed to be completely immersed in this killing. The scarlet branches greedily absorbed the flesh and blood of Bu Liren, turning it into its own nutrients. Every kill was so easy and unhindered, making people sigh at her strength.
The whole scene was like a bloody massacre feast, and Dan Shu became the protagonist of this feast. Her presence filled the air around her with the breath of death and fear, making people dare not look directly at her.
Everything was over so quickly, so fast that it was unbelievable. Dan Shu did not feel tired or satisfied at all.
Finally, her body gradually recovered and returned to its original state, turning back into the shaky one she was in. Then, she turned around and left silently, as if nothing had happened.
……
“Um, Sister Danshu…”
“What’s wrong?” Dan Shu answered in a daze as he woke up from Dan Dingsi’s desk. He rubbed his temples and felt dizzy.
“Why do you like drinking now? I remember you never drank before.”
“No, how could I drink?” Dan Shu frowned, as if trying to recall, but her mind was blank. She shook her head, trying to sober herself up.
“But I can smell the alcohol on you from a long way off. And what were you doing last night? You look so sleepy, which is unlike your usual routine.”
Dan Shu looked down at her clothes and smelled a strong smell of alcohol. She was a little surprised and wondered if she had really drunk too much. But why did she have no memory of it at all? She rubbed her temples again and felt a headache.
“I forgot… I can’t remember, I think I was dissecting a corpse last night…”
“Why do you like this so much recently? I heard that you even applied for a position as a military doctor… Your personality has changed so much. Why would you give up a bright future to join the army?”
Dan Shu fell into deep thought, trying to remember what happened last night, but the memory in her mind seemed to be shrouded in a fog and was blurred. She felt confused and uneasy, not knowing why her behavior had become so strange.
“I……”
Dan Shu tried hard to recall, but she couldn’t remember what she did last night. She began to wonder if something unexpected had happened or if she had been affected by something.
“By the way, have you used any skin care products recently? I feel that your skin is smoother than before, and the small pimples on your face are gone.”
Dan Shu subconsciously touched her face and indeed felt that her skin had become smoother and more delicate. She became even more confused.
“No, maybe I’ve been eating more nourishing food recently.”
“Sister Danshu, what’s your recent diet?”
“I ate…meat. Lots of meat.”
Chapter 227 Lone Wolf Scott
“Who on earth did this!!!! What do you guys do for a living? A bunch of good-for-nothings!!!” Scott roared angrily.
Scott got up early as usual and went to the company’s warehouse to check the goods. However, when he arrived there, he was shocked by the scene: there was a large amount of blood on the ground.
The surrounding warehouses were smashed to pieces, and the originally sturdy buildings collapsed. The whole scene was in chaos and devastation.
Scott was surprised and frightened, and he immediately called the security guards to ask about the situation. But in the face of his questioning, the security guards were all at a loss and could not explain anything clearly.
Scott’s anger exploded instantly, and he severely reprimanded every subordinate, accusing them of dereliction of duty and incompetence.
Immediately afterwards, Scott reported the matter to the Tianbo Division and strongly demanded that Luo Fu take responsibility for the matter and give a reasonable explanation.
“Is this how you maintain public order in Luofu? It’s okay if my subordinates are incompetent, but I put the safety of the company’s goods in Luofu’s hands!”
Someone came to our place last night and was killed, leaving a large pool of blood?! It was only one or two o’clock, and the surrounding buildings were all destroyed~ I want to complain to you!” His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.
“Fix the boat for me quickly, immediately, right now!! I want to leave Luofu!!!” He continued to roar, demanding that the problem be solved immediately and that he leave this place.
Listening to Scott’s complaint, Yukong rubbed her temple helplessly. Enough had happened in Luofu recently, and she thought she could take a break, but she didn’t expect such an accident to happen again.
“Mr. Scott, I have received your lawsuit. Please be patient. We will send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.” Yukong tried his best to remain calm and tried to calm Scott’s anger.
“Don’t you have surveillance in Luofu? Can’t you just check that thing?” Scott asked. He believed that the answer should be found through surveillance.
However, Yukong shook his head and explained, “Mr. Scott, it seems that you have forgotten that on the first day the company’s goods were stored in Luofu, you personally led people to dismantle all the mechanical birds in that area, saying that you were afraid of leaking company secrets. We advised you, but you didn’t listen.”
Scott’s face became a little embarrassed, and he seemed to realize that his behavior at that time brought him trouble. But he still refused to give up and insisted on solving the problem as soon as possible.
Yukong thought about it and decided to take some measures to appease Scott. She promised to speed up the investigation and provide more information and help to ensure that he could leave Luofu as soon as possible. At the same time, she also said that the damaged ship would be repaired so that he could leave safely.
Although Scott was still somewhat dissatisfied, he finally agreed to wait for the results of the investigation due to Yukong’s efforts. Yukong then began to deal with the matter, hoping to find out the truth and solve the problem as soon as possible.
……
My name is Scott, and I am a qualified lone wolf from the [Scott] family. However, at this moment, my heart is filled with dissatisfaction and anger.
Luofu, this name sounds unlucky. Here, I have suffered the most serious humiliation and unfair treatment in my life, especially that hateful gray-haired girl, who has ruined my good deeds again and again! Now, not only her, but the entire Luofu seems to be against me!
Anger and dissatisfaction filled my chest, and I urgently needed to find a quiet corner to calm down. So I came to Luofu’s famous teahouse, [Bu Ye Hou], hoping to find a bit of peace here.
I have long heard that Xianzhou has a profound cultural heritage and treats guests with unique etiquette and enthusiasm.
However, when I sat down, I found that the service was far from perfect as rumored.
Hospitality? Bullshit!
I ordered a cup of tea that was “not too hot or too cold, and tasted just right”, but the tea in front of me was either cold and had lost its temperature, or so scalding hot that it was difficult to drink.
What’s worse is that the color of the tea is turbid, as if it is mixed with mud.
Am I not a guest? Am I not entitled to quality service? Am I a human being? This is simply an insult and bullying to me!
I put my hands on my hips and looked down at the young proprietress Meng Ming.
Just then, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me. I turned around and saw that it was those people who came to cause trouble, and the gray-haired guy was among them.
Two little brats plus gray hair and a pink hair
I am just an ordinary consumer, I just complained that the tea was not good, is that wrong? I am the victim!
One or two of them are holding a piece of metal and trying to threaten me? Do they really think I’m afraid of them?
The gray-haired guy once again took out the familiar baseball bat… it was the same as last time, it seemed that this guy couldn’t wait to take action.
Alas, my life is full of disasters~ But seeing that pink-haired girl looking insecure, I kindly recommended our company’s mecha to her and promised to teach her how to use it for free. What happened? She couldn’t understand my good intentions…
What country did these country bumpkins come from? They actually look down on our company’s mechas.
So I called a few brothers over to show them the company’s mechas. Although they were terrible at patrolling, their attack and defense capabilities were definitely better than those two pieces of broken metal…
I won’t bully this little girl. I heard that she hasn’t found a master yet, so I’ll let her go back and learn sword from her master first. Just let her learn casually. I’ll visit her in fifteen days and let this pink-haired girl have a fight with our company’s mecha.
If she lost, she would not only have to bark like a dog in public, but also shout out “Even dogs don’t learn the Xianzhou sword technique.” She would stand at the entrance of Jinren Lane and repeat it to every passerby.
There is no need to find a master. Just find me. I will teach this pink-haired girl how to drive a mecha. I will definitely make her a famous mecha master.
If I lose, I will squeal like a pig in public and shout “Company Mecha, only pigs want it”, and then print this sentence on every mecha on the transport ship.
When I think that I will be able to create another achievement in fifteen days, and then the opportunity of promotion and salary increase will be one step closer to me, I feel so happy! It’s really so joyful, hahahahahaha!
