Moving to the Golden Courtyard

But not necessarily your average chuuni!

Kosma made an OK sign with their hands.

The girl's eyes lit up. First, she made sure no one was paying attention to her, then she continued with sign language: I've been watching you for a while. You've been observing your surroundings, right?

Kosma nodded.

"I have an idea that might save everyone on this train."

Kosma hesitated. Although it had the same thought, since this girl had made contact, she must have plans to act.

But... for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school student, all of this seemed a bit difficult.

"Don't you want to try? To become a hero in people's eyes, to bring a glimmer of hope in this boundless despair."

Kosma: !

It took a deep breath and replied in sign language.

"Tell me, what do we do?"

40. Lieutenant Himeko's blind date is probably off

Inside the Golden Courtyard.

Griseo was quietly resting in Aponia's arms, while Kalpas was in the first-floor kitchen, smoking and watching the live broadcast on his phone.

That idiot... he's using the Exoskeleton Armor to stop the train again...

You could tell he was struggling and in pain. The train's immense thrust was something no Exoskeleton Armor could stop.

Don't die on me... kid.

Suddenly, Kalpas paused, put out his cigarette, put away his phone, and found a black and gold mask in a storage cabinet in the kitchen.

"Do you feel it, Kalpas?"

A strange voice drilled into Kalpas's mind. He knew it must be Aponia's doing.

"Yeah..." Throwing on a white coat, Kalpas walked out of the Golden Courtyard.

"I'll leave the rats overhead to you."

Gently placing Griseo on the bed, Aponia slowly walked up to the fourth-floor balcony of the Golden Courtyard.

Today, she was unusually dressed in a nun's habit, kneeling on the balcony with her hands clasped together.

At this moment, outside the Golden Courtyard, the moment Kalpas walked out! A dozen Exoskeleton Armors had already appeared around the Golden Courtyard.

They watched Kalpas walk out wearing only a mask, and they were all confused and puzzled.

What's this guy... what's he doing?

Kalpas looked up at the sky and saw a giant passenger plane flying overhead, followed by mushroom-shaped parachutes opening one after another.

Well-prepared, those Anti-Entropy guys.

"I hope your preparations for death are just as thorough."

Inside the CEO's office on the top floor of E.T. Studio's headquarters building, Mr. Welt Yang was troubled by the future development of Alahato.

"Knock, knock!"

"Come in."

"Bang!"

The door was opened roughly, which was undoubtedly impolite, but when Welt saw the silver-haired, single-ponytail woman in OL attire, he could only smile wryly.

"So, what is it this time? Bronya?"

"The next Alahato project is complete."

"Huh?"

Welt was stunned. To be honest, he hadn't seen Bronya working overtime for quite some time recently, and he thought she had finally figured out that she needed to rest more.

He didn't expect the project to be completed so quickly!?

"The name?"

Bronya shook her head.

"It hasn't been decided yet."

You can call that complete?

Mr. Welt looked puzzled.

"The name has to be done by the main creator."

"Oh... huh?!" Welt's voice rose. "You're not the main creator!?"

"Half of it."

Welt grinned. He knew who it was.

"So, this is the Xu Qi you mentioned the other day, the one you were so insistent on recruiting to our company?"

"That's him! I have a feeling... this Alahato could be just what we need to turn things around!"

"Alright..." Welt took a deep breath. "So, where is he now? If you're recommending this guy so highly, I should at least meet him in person."

This time, it was Bronya's turn to take a deep breath.

Under Welt's questioning gaze, she pulled out her phone and opened a live stream.

The screen showed an Exoskeleton Armor pushing a train.

"Hmm... are you showing me a movie? Bronya, it looks very realistic... good special effects."

"This is a live stream from the Modu Metro. This morning, Line 9 was completely evacuated and shut down because a train's brakes failed. And now...

The young man Xu Qi I mentioned to you earlier is inside that Exoskeleton Armor. He's trying to... stop the train."

"Is it possible?"

Bronya slowly shook her head. "Theoretically speaking—it's basically impossible."

"Then why is he pushing it?"

"Perhaps... he doesn't want to stand by and watch an entire trainload of people die without doing anything..."

Guilin Road, near the turnout.

The once pitch-black tunnel was now filled with gunfire, with flashes of light everywhere.

The special police acted quickly. As soon as Chief Engineer Xia reported the situation, they immediately took action.

As a terrorist organization, Anti-Entropy was undoubtedly professional. They had also considered the intervention of the special police, and the Exoskeleton Armor they wore were military-grade models that could be used as weapons.

But undoubtedly... they underestimated the firepower of the special police.

The battle didn't turn into some kind of protracted war. From start to finish, it took no more than 5 minutes. When the leader of the special police team found the two engineering workers, they were still a little dazed.

They were saved just like that?

The visor went up, the helmet was removed, and hidden inside the heavy Exoskeleton Armor was a beautiful and sexy redhead.

What? You can't see her figure?

Those full, luscious lips said it all.

"I'm Lieutenant Himeko, the captain of the Modu Special Police Brigade. You can call me Lieutenant Himeko. Now, please continue your work."

"Yes... yes!"

Lieutenant Himeko tossed her long hair, which had been stifled inside the armor, with a touch of annoyance—it seemed she would have to touch up her makeup later before going to her blind date tonight.

"Lieutenant Himeko!"

"What is it?"

"Look at this video..."

The subordinate special police officer handed over a phone. The screen showed Xu Qi's V2V forcefully pushing the train.

Lieutenant Himeko narrowed her eyes. She directly connected the communication to the vehicle headquarters at the Meilong base and questioned, "What's going on? Can't the train still be stopped?"

Chief Engineer Xia stared nervously at the big screen. Hearing the incoming call from the special police captain, he immediately said, "Yes... we... we've lost our last resort."

"So you're letting an employee joke around with his life!?"

Chief Engineer Xia's face turned red. He roared, "I don't want this to happen either! But Xu Qi... Xu Qi, that kid..."

Tears welled up in his eyes. No one could remain unmoved by such a scene.

"His name is Xu Qi?"

Lieutenant Himeko looked at the deep, dark tunnel in front of her, momentarily speechless.

"How is it, Kevin? Did it work?"

On the helicopter, Vil-V was pacing back and forth anxiously, while Mobius was no better, even gnawing on her fingers.

Perhaps the only one who could remain calm at this time was Eden.

After Mobius thought of restoring communication, she immediately contacted Kevin and Vil-V.

When the two were at a loss, Mobius came up with a plan.

Using the V2V's built-in communication module and signal amplification module, connect Xu Qi's V2V to the train to forcibly break the signal interference and restore train communication.

But this function was not originally available on the V2V. What Kevin had to do now was to write the execution code for this thing on the spot—that is, the driver.

"Come on, coder... even if you lose all the hair on your head, you have to write the program for me now..."

41. Mobius! Xu Qi's savior!

"Heh heh! Hahaha!"

Inside the tunnel, Xu Qi gritted his teeth, bracing against the front of the train, when he heard Xia Ya's laughter from within the Sazabi. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"

"It seems my plan will ultimately succeed, Xu Qi."

"Too much confidence isn't a good thing!"

"Hmph! Is that so? You plan to stop the train with that V2V? Do you think it's possible?"

Indeed, no matter how intensely the Solar Furnace operated, the thrust generated by the V2V couldn't even slow the train down!

It only prevented it from accelerating further.

But the V2V's energy was limited, and the Trans-am used in the battle with Xia Ya had consumed HK Particles at an unimaginable rate.

With the V2V's current state, if he wanted to use Trans-am again to increase thrust, it could only be maintained for one minute.

One minute... what could he do?

"The Exoskeleton Armor's energy will run out sooner or later, give up, Xu Qi! I know you have a girlfriend who loves you, don't you?

Her name is Mei, right... are you going to abandon her and leave her alone in this world!?"

Mei...

Inside the Meilong command center, Mei clasped her hands tightly together, placed them before her chest, and closed her eyes in prayer.

She didn't dare look at the screen anymore, at what was happening on it.

Xu Qi...

"It's enough, Xu Qi. You were able to defeat me, and that already amazes me. Perhaps you're right, and what we truly need to create is a world where people can understand each other."
