Chapter 179

Shiyu's crying sounded exceptionally clear in the silent scene.

Shiyu wanted to wake Xiao Qi,

but she didn't dare make any big movements, being extremely careful,

terrified of hurting Xiao Qi.

"Dead?"

"No! That's not right, if he were dead, we should have completed the mission!"

In the distance, Xiang Bingyan had initially thought Xiao Qi was hammered to death by Su Tian,

but she realized afterward that Xiao Qi definitely wasn't dead!

Otherwise, she and Su Tian would have completed the mission directly.

And Su Tian, who was closest to Shiyu and Xiao Qi,

looked at the tear-streaked Shiyu and Xiao Qi lying in her arms.

Su Tian frowned slightly.

Xiao Qi definitely wasn't dead yet!

Su Tian was absolutely certain of this,

at least... not completely dead.

As for the sibling bond between Shiyu and Xiao Qi,

Su Tian expressed his respect,

but if they had to be killed, they had to be killed!

If he didn't kill them, Su Tian and Xiang Bingyan would be trapped in this dungeon forever.

This dungeon had no time limit,

and there were only two possibilities for getting out:

one was completing the mission, the other was one's own death!

Su Tian didn't have the personality of a saint,

so he naturally chose the second option.

Besides, this was just a dungeon world.

"Cough... cough... cough..."

Finally, amidst Shiyu's sobbing calls,

Xiao Qi coughed heavily a few times,

regaining a bit of consciousness.

"Xiao Qi? Xiao Qi!"

"You... you're awake? How do you feel?"

Xiao Qi had just regained a bit of consciousness,

and what met his eyes was Shiyu, who had been crying until her face was streaked with tears.

"Big Sister Shiyu, why are you crying?"

"I'm fine, don't worry..."

Xiao Qi endured the pain and raised his right hand to wipe the tears from Shiyu's face.

Saying he was fine—only Xiao Qi himself knew how severe his injuries were.

Su Tian's hammer blow just now hadn't held back in the slightest.

Xiao Qi had been hammered by this violent blow,

and he had fainted immediately.

Now that he was awake, unbearable, intense pain surged through his body.

This was only because Xiao Qi was a high-level Orphnoch to begin with;

if he hadn't been, Xiao Qi would likely have been hammered to death by that blow from Su Tian!

But even if he hadn't died immediately,

Xiao Qi's body was no longer enough to support him in continuing the fight!

He even found it extremely difficult to stand up!

Xiao Qi knew Su Tian wouldn't let him go,

wouldn't let him, the founder of the Smart Brain Company, live on.

Regarding death,

Xiao Qi felt no fear,

but he didn't want this!

He didn't want his big sister to still be in mortal danger before he died!

Everything here,

helping the humans remaining in this world,

establishing the last human stronghold!

All of this was done by Xiao Qi to find the Orphnoch King!

And the ultimate goal of finding the Orphnoch King

was to let Shiyu,

to let his big sister escape the danger of dissipating and possess eternal life!

Xiao Qi didn't want to die

without being able to let his big sister survive!

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi lifted his heavy head,

looked at Su Tian to the side, and said in a voice filled with a pleading tone:

"S-Savior."

"Are you really not the King?"

This time, Xiao Qi didn't call Su Tian by his name,

but used the title from when he first met Su Tian and the others:

Savior!

Not the savior who would save this world,

but the savior who would save Xiao Qi's world!

The savior who would save Shiyu's life!

Although due to the Orga armor,

Su Tian couldn't see Xiao Qi's expression,

Su Tian could feel Xiao Qi's expectation,

the hope that he would say the words, 'I am the Savior, I am the Orphnoch King!'

Unfortunately, Su Tian was not!

So Su Tian remained silent and did not answer Xiao Qi's question.

And Xiao Qi also sensed this,

feeling incomparably disappointed in his heart.

He turned his gaze back to his big sister Shiyu's face.

At this moment, Shiyu had gradually stopped crying,

though tears still remained in her bright, moving eyes.

"Big Sister Shiyu, I'm sorry."

"I... I still didn't find the King in the end!"

"I couldn't let you survive."

Xiao Qi's tone was filled with nothing but unwillingness.

The tears in Shiyu's eyes finally couldn't be held back, slowly flowing down.

She took Xiao Qi's hand and placed it on her face.

Shiyu said with incomparable gentleness:

"Xiao Qi, you have already done very well."
