But the instant she opened her mouth, wind rushed straight into it.
It's over, it's over, it's over. Senior has gone insane.
This building is over 120 meters tall. If he jumps from up there, he'll definitely die!
Oh, not just him. Even if I don't die, I'll be crippled for sure (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
How could he do something this terrifying with such a calm expression?!
Lin Yu, who had pulled Kiana into his arms, felt the air continuously rushing past him and slowly closed his eyes.
He had chosen to jump from the air not because he had some nearly self-destructive thought like, Ah, screw it, maybe I should find somewhere to kill myself.
With Mirror Mind activated, Lin Yu could clearly deduce the most suitable escape route for the two of them.
The other side had heavy weapons. Charging them head-on was obviously a bad idea.
If they wanted to run at a time like this, they had to choose a route where the enemy couldn't pursue them.
And jumping down from the window was one such option.
Of course, if he jumped down without any preparation, Lin Yu felt that he would definitely splatter on impact.
But the problem was that he had a backup plan.
Falling from roughly a hundred meters in the air would take four or five seconds.
And from the very moment he jumped, he activated Cosmic Phantom again.
About one second was already enough for him to finish charging it.
While suspended in midair, Lin Yu and Kiana had no way to change their position in the air without other means.
But Cosmic Phantom, put simply, had the inherent trait of dashing in a certain direction.
After finishing the charge, Lin Yu did not immediately unleash the attack.
After waiting 2.5 seconds, he used that trait to throw a punch toward the window of one of the floors.
With the terrifying propulsion granted by that strike, Kiana and Lin Yu flew from midair straight back into the building.
Having just completed an aerial flight, Kiana's face looked terrible as she held onto a pillar in the lobby of that floor.
Then, as she clung to the pillar, Kiana realized that she merely felt sick—like she wanted to throw up but couldn't.
At that moment, Kiana understood.
Because of the Kaslana clan's physique, her tolerance was far greater than that of an ordinary person.
Compared to the physical damage, the excessive mental stimulation from that fall had been the real problem.
"Have you rested enough?"
Lin Yu looked at the pale-faced Kiana and, without waiting for an answer, pulled her into his arms again.
"No, Senior, you... wait!"
"Calm down. I calculated it."
"The distance traveled when a person falls is S = 0.5gt². Generally, g is 9.8, and t is time in seconds."
Wait, we're running for our lives, right?
Why did this suddenly turn into a physics lesson???
"And the distance after falling for three and a half seconds is S = 0.5 × 9.8 × 3.5², roughly sixty meters. That's exactly half the height of this building, so..."
"So—I don't want to!"
"So if we do it once more from here, we can land safely."
Pulling Kiana down with him, Lin Yu activated Cosmic Phantom again and waited another 2.5 seconds.
And after he successfully unleashed Cosmic Phantom, he and Kiana indeed shot into the lobby on the second floor.
After suffering the second consecutive shock, Kiana stared at Lin Yu with a pale face.
Kiana had originally wanted to lose her temper, but when the words reached her lips, she realized she did not even have the strength to curse at him.
Then, after forcing out a miserable smile, she gritted her teeth and said,
"Senior, has anyone ever told you..."
"You're really a little too extreme..."
"Senior, has anyone ever told you..."
"You're really a little too extreme..."
Looking at the listless Kiana, Lin Yu, who had exited Mirror Mind due to excessive exertion, suddenly covered his mouth and braced himself against a nearby pillar.
Kiana, who had originally wanted to complain about Lin Yu some more, saw that he was in a far worse state than she was and immediately swallowed her words.
"You think..."
"I wanted this..."
After dry-heaving for several seconds, Lin Yu slowly walked toward the stairs with vacant eyes.
"Um, Senior..."
Seeing Lin Yu in such a weak state, Kiana carefully said,
"The bad guys upstairs will still need some time to chase us down. You don't need to rush so much."
"Give me a break. It takes time for the ones upstairs to come down, but who told you there weren't enemies downstairs?"
Quickly adjusting his condition, Lin Yu ran toward the stairs while shouting at Kiana.
"If that idiot bitch can arrange an ambush upstairs, why can't she arrange a reserve team downstairs?"
"Let's get out before they react. Once there are too many people, we won't be able to escape."
"Um... do we really need to be that afraid of them?"
Recalling what had just happened, Kiana followed after Lin Yu and said fiercely,
"Senior, if you're tired, you can go rest somewhere. If there are only ten or twenty of them, this young lady can handle them all by herself."
"Oh, Kiana, I don't doubt your strength."
Lin Yu ran toward his motorcycle and spoke to Kiana without looking back.
"With your strength, beating people up isn't a problem. But Cocolia's subordinates aren't just these mercenaries."
"Actually, Honkai... anyway, this young lady has beaten even stronger enemies!"
"If you mean Honkai Beasts, then I can only tell you that the forces she commands are no weaker than Honkai Beasts."
Starting the motorcycle as quickly as possible, Lin Yu stared at Kiana with lifeless eyes and continued,
"You've come to the Far East. You've read the robot comics here, right?"
"I have. They were pretty good."
"The giant robots in those comics exist in real life."
"..."
Oh no. That lousy old man really did mention this before.
"And rather awkwardly, that stupid bitch Cocolia happens to have robots like that."
By this point, Lin Yu felt there was no need to say anything more.
And hearing Lin Yu's words, Kiana instantly understood why he was so desperate to run.
"Get on. That broken bike of yours is too slow."
"Okay~"
When Kiana sat behind him, Lin Yu could feel her two soft, large buns pressing against his back.
But Lin Yu was so exhausted that he had no mood left to appreciate that somewhat pleasant sensation.
Riding the motorcycle and making a straight-up run for it, Lin Yu finally heard that familiar voice after speeding along for some time.
Tonight, you reunited with your beautiful underclassman!
Sigh, since you showed up, that means there really are no enemies around me. There won't be a battle.
When you reunited, the two of you engaged in intense physical activity. Blood splashed from your bodies. The girl screamed from what you did to her during your first meeting and nearly threw up. Even after the activity ended, the two of you eloped on the spot.
Jokes aside, while those are all technically true, do you really have to describe an entirely ordinary battle in such a borderline-unpublishable tone, like it's some kind of pornographic movie???
Feeling the sensation against his back, you secretly began to laugh inwardly.
Laugh my ass. I just want to slap Cocolia eighteen hundred times and smash her damn head in.
Keh keh keh! As long as things keep going like this, there's nothing wrong with playing even bigger next time!
Play bigger... oh, right.
Remembering something, Lin Yu chose not to continue along the shortest route at an intersection ahead and immediately took a detour.
"Huh, Senior, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lin Yu's strange behavior, Kiana asked in confusion.
"This road is closer. Aren't we trying to shake off the pursuers?"
"Precisely because this road is closer, we need to avoid it. If I were Cocolia, I would one hundred percent set up an ambush on the shortest route."
"Mhm, I see."
And that was only the secondary reason.
Damn it, Siegfried was injured by me... well, more accurately, he injured himself. With my little attacks, there's no way I could stop him from moving.
If we charge back along this road, we'll most likely run into Siegfried after he's rested up and come after us.
Even if Siegfried knows he can't meet K423, the two of them are still connected by blood in a certain sense.
If they pass each other on the road and she senses that the man in front of her is Siegfried, or some melodramatic nonsense happens like the wind blowing Siegfried's hood up, I'm still screwed.
Just getting her out was exhausting enough.
Why do I have to think about so much pointless crap...
Damn it, Cocolia, this is all your fault.
If you hadn't planned to trigger a Herrscher awakening, Siegfried wouldn't have come here.
If Siegfried hadn't come here, I wouldn't need to worry about keeping him from meeting Kiana.
And on top of everything you've done before...
At that moment, Lin Yu felt the killing intent in his heart surge by an unknown amount.
Kill...
Kill.
Kill!
That woman alone, I will absolutely never let go!
Once I get stronger, I'll definitely find the time to kill that bastard who only knows how to stir up trouble!
.
Meanwhile, Anti-Entropy Headquarters, the Ark
Because of Cocolia, Tesla and Einstein, two of Anti-Entropy's old guard, had been run ragged these past few days.
However, according to the information Siegfried had relayed, the matter had completely slipped beyond their control.
Mei was being mentally manipulated.
