Chapter 679: Mu Linyuan: As Long As I

~7 min read 1,294 words

A joint wanted criminal, a Dome wanted criminal, and Xie Jingyan, who is about to appear on the Church's wanted list.

Also, among their enemies, the Divine Oracle has appeared.

Even if the opponent is still young, the crushing of the laws is still something they cannot resist.

As for the most important…

That inevitably means that phosphorescent green has shown up among their enemies.

Even if the exterior is disguised, even if the opponent has grown into an adult, the energy leaked in that raised hand can still evoke his blast from that night two years ago.

Because the aim was the ground, the people on Tianmian City actually never saw the full scene at the time, but Su Jingchuan later went to examine the marks left on the ground.

It was a disaster.

A disaster through and through.

Li Ya knows that if she leaves, the Su Jingchuan left behind would almost certainly be a dead end, but at this point, Su Jingchuan's plan is the only way.

She stepped back a few paces, saw that the people over there had no intention of stopping her, and immediately sprinted toward the next room.

Xi Ren Sheng tilted his head, looking at the remaining Su Jingchuan; his expression looked like that of a mastermind villain, making Su Jingchuan's heart tighten as he gripped the gun in his hand.

Xie Jingyan, upon arriving, complained directly to Xi Ren Sheng, causing him to lose his composure.

"I regret it," she said through clenched teeth, "I shouldn't have agreed to bring you here…"

If this matter can't be resolved properly today, she might end up on the Church's wanted list tomorrow.

Xi Ren Sheng turned back to look at her, seemingly carefree, waved his hand, but in fact he was just one step away from cosplaying as a second family.

"It's fine, it's fine. After all, you've already graduated from being an idol; causing a little trouble won't bring the house down."

The constraints of being an idol are truly many; this can't be done, that can't be done, and Xi Ren Sheng gets a headache just looking at all those rules, and it's a wonder Xie Jingyan managed to stay that long.

However, she chose to graduate a year and a half ago, partly because the war grew more intense, and compared to being an idol, Xie Jingyan has far too many other things to do.

But can it be the same?!

Before, in the game, the situation was chaotic; when she was truly exposed, no one dared to provoke her, instead they kept their distance, but now that she's in a peaceful modern society, she's actually on the Church's wanted list, and can be labeled as disrupting peace at a moment's turn.

Hearing that, Xie Jingyan turned her head away, no longer wanting to argue the topic with Xi Ren Sheng, after all Xi Ren Sheng only knows how to joke around.

Yang Yixie was somewhat curious, "What's going on?"

Xi Ren Sheng immediately jumped out, "Partner, you didn't know? Xie Jingyan announced her idol graduation long ago; most of the time she's been covertly helping us with entropy‑boosting liaison, cooperating with the rebel army's actions, but—"

"As a singer, she still released a few breakout singles."

That's not what he wanted to ask…

But Xi Ren Sheng, with a look that said 'I get you', came over.

"By the way, that green‑haired member of their group—I heard you, partner, really like her? I heard she joined the Dome after graduating from being an idol, and hasn't continued that line of activity, what a pity…"

————————————————

On the other side, Li Ya had already pushed open the door, "Your Majesty, we must leave here immediately!"

"No need." Upon hearing that, Mu Linyuan knew Yang Yixie definitely hadn't explained the situation clearly to Li Ya and the others.

Li Ya paused, looked into the room, and saw the crowd of "Version Answers" sitting in a circle near Mu Linyuan; the already small living room was instantly packed to the brim.

But by now, Version Answers held no credibility for her.

"Your Majesty!"

"I was the one who sent him." Mu Linyuan shook his head.

"I was the one who brought Yang Yixie, the Ying Duo you all know."

Although Yang Yixie came on his own, saying it that way would only deepen Li Ya and the others' misunderstanding, so it's better to say directly that he sent him.

After a moment.

Mu Linyuan, after much back‑and‑forth, finally got Su Jingchuan and Li Ya to agree to lay down their weapons, but his tiny living room simply couldn't hold so many people, so most had to stand.

And Yang Yixie brought his own stool.

"I'll locate Fang Zhiyan now; considering his keen perception, once we capture him, I'll directly teleport you to a place where you can deal with him, okay?"

Mu Linyuan suggested, saying he now just wanted to get Yang Yixie out quickly, and using Co‑Absorption, when they clash with Fang Zhiyan, the civilians of Tianmian City could be innocently drawn in.

The battle can't be set in Tianmian City, and beneath Tianmian City lies Shoudu, making it even less suitable for fighting.

"Because Tianmian City can't stay above the capital forever, we've coordinated with the authorities; later we'll relocate Tianmian City elsewhere, and I left a spatial marker where I departed, which is ideal as a battlefield."

"Alright, but are you sure you can teleport Fang Zhiyan there?"

Yang Yixie, having witnessed Mu Lingxiao's spatial teleportation skill, had no doubt; now that Mu Linyuan has mastered the full spatiotemporal law, the question is whether he can do it with Fang Zhiyan as the target.

"As long as you toss him into the temporal rift quickly enough, that's all that's needed."

Mu Linyuan nodded; the essence of spatial teleportation is the connection between points—once Fang Zhiyan is thrown into the tunnel, he has no chance to tamper midway, unless he intends to become completely lost in the temporal rift.

Therefore, he must, at the first moment he spots him, immediately drag Fang Zhiyan into the teleport.

"I'm not referring to that."

Yang Yixie tilted his head, his gaze fixed directly on Mu Linyuan.

"Are you sure your body can sustain it now?"

Even he could tell, upon meeting, just how bad Mu Linyuan's condition was.

Never mind Aberrant Arts and energy; if he moves a bit more, Yang Yixie worries he'll just collapse outright.

"It's just a little spatial trick, and at that level, of course it's no problem."

Compared to moving all those cities from the game into this modern world, teleporting a single person is truly a minor trick.

But even this tiny trick takes considerable effort for him to employ now.

Below Tianmian City, on a street cramped to a narrow slit by a temporarily placed refugee influx, Fang Zhiyan was advancing at an unhurried pace.

Because it had taken in a massive number of refugees, every area of Tianmian City capable of housing them was packed, and after days of recuperation, even people's lives began to gradually return to normal.

Stalls along the roadside displayed various sundries, and a few women in old clothes were haggling.

He has run out of new experimental material; although he discovered that Ying Duo does indeed exist in this world, his situation is now worse than he anticipated.

It's like forcibly stuffing a giant's soul into a dwarf's body.

The Fang Zhiyan of this world is a pure researcher; although his body is relatively healthy, it absolutely cannot compare to Fang Zhiyan's own body.

Moreover, Fang Zhiyan's soul has long been completely twisted by Mutation, and no longer matches the shape of this body.
