A lamb in the tiger's den
On the airship, Xu Fu brought a bowl of honey water to Hinako Akuta's side. It's always good to eat something sweet when you're sad to release some dopamine. Although it's unknown whether Hinako Akuta's spirit nerves have this function.
"Lady Yu, it's alright. We're just going to rescue Xiang Yu, right? The location has been locked. Once we get there, we'll definitely succeed."
Xu Fu was trying to comfort Hinako Akuta, but at this moment, faced with the greatest pain of his second life, even the comfort of his best friend seemed somewhat powerless.
Hinako Akuta sat on the chair, her arms wrapped around her knees, her eyes completely lifeless. If you poured white paint over her, she would be a perfect sculpture.
They had already embarked on the path of retirement, and had weathered so many storms, so why did they have to encounter something like that at the end?
A tear fell to the ground, Hinako Akuta's expression made it impossible to tell whether she was crying or laughing.
"It's a bit hard to understand. The person who made this move was Bai Mo's target, the man called Qin Hong, right? But why did he attack Xiang Yu? He even took Lanling Wang with him."
In Chaldea, Sherlock Holmes was puzzled, as was Bai Mo. If the goal was to understand the technology of the Kuaiji Type Zero, or to transform it into combat power, then why take Lanling Wang away?
Was it just a casual act? Or did those guys who were transformed into the Dream-Creating Beast Group harbor desires for Lanling Wang?
Sherlock Holmes's mind raced, and after a while, he silently left the control room.
"However, in any case, nothing should go wrong, right? Since there was a purpose, at the very least, it wouldn't be to kill him. If it were just for assassination, there would be no reason for them to come here, so Lord Xiang Yu should be fine, right, boss?"
Xu Fu wanted to get confirmation from Bai Mo to put Hinako Akuta's mind at ease. But Bai Mo shook his head and said:
"It's hard to say. Kuaiji Type Zero and Lanling Wang may already be facing insults we can't even imagine."
Xu Fu, who was pressing his hand on Hinako Akuta's shoulder, seemed unable to feel her heartbeat. Xu Fu wished he could punch Bai Mo to shut her up, but her hand could only strike his stomach.
"Are you deliberately provoking Lady Yu? Those two aren't some young maidens kidnapped by bandits, how could they be insulted? Besides, Lord Xiang Yu is a machine, for crying out loud!"
Watching her adorable boxing, Bai Mo gave a pitying smile.
"Silly child, that's because you don't understand the Blue Dream Organization. A man falling into the hands of the Blue Dream Organization is in far more danger than a woman falling into a bandit's den. At least the bandits would consider demanding a ransom."
In the end, Zu was mentally controlled for who knows how many years, and the Cinan was tortured in the Amazon for three months. But at least in the Qiutian, they returned unharmed.
"No, what exactly does this organization do..."
"Don't try to understand their thinking. This is what I mean by 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' As long as the enemy exists, giving up is impossible. But you didn't even leave a way to contact them?"
Is it fair to say your resolve is as firm as a rock?
Bai Mo said with a hint of helplessness, and Arcueid in Chaldea also heard his words. For a moment, her gaze also flickered slightly.
She remembered Bai Mo saying that the Primordial Spirit around her were the best tonics for other Ultimate powerhouses. And so far, including the powerhouse hidden in Chaldeas, she had already met two Ultimate powerhouses.
She sighed helplessly. The bloody incident unfolded before her eyes, and she secretly remembered the lesson that Hinako Akuta had learned from her second heartbreak.
The airship was moving at a decent speed, and the group had already arrived at the capital of the Blue Country. Bai Mo looked down at the capital, which was clearly in chaos due to Zhang Xianzhong's previous defeat.
Below, people were burning, killing, and looting everywhere. They were wantonly seizing food and scrambling to escape. When a house is entirely supported by a single pillar, if that pillar fails, the house will collapse immediately.
"Continuing to be depressed won't help. All you can do now is seize the time. If you continue to dwell on the past, you'll lose the future too."
Bai Mo looked at the dejected Hinako Akuta and said helplessly. But Hinako Akuta still looked lost and dejected. Obviously, ordinary words were useless to this elf with thousands of years of experience.
Bai Mo took a deep breath, then slowly said:
"The Blue Dream Organization is quite fond of male homosexuality. Although your Xiang Yu is a machine, he should still look like a man, right? Later, when Qin Hong has squeezed all the value out of the Kuaiji Type Zero."
Those guys might put on rubber gloves, apply Vaseline, and then Xiang Yu...
Bai Mo completely opened his heart to the conversation, and those with power could directly sense it. He spoke with absolute certainty and unwavering conviction. Sure enough, Hinako Akuta suddenly raised her head, met Bai Mo's gaze for about three seconds, then sprang up like a spring, grabbed a pair of swords, and said hastily:
"Quickly, we must move out immediately, without delay!"
Xu Fu and Ritsuka couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly as they watched this scene. Ritsuka silently gave Bai Mo a thumbs up from behind.
"You're something else, kid. You can even come up with such a ridiculous lie."
In the Strongman Space, Electric Eye chuckled. He had once been a member of the Blue Dream Organization, but he found this amusing. He thought to himself that Bai Mo was quite good at using the right approach to encourage others.
However, Bai Mo replied in a calm tone:
I wasn't lying.
This time, Electric Eye was a bit confused. Wow, if I died young, would Blue Dream Company end up like this?
He looked at the two people sitting in the pavilion, trying to get confirmation. Tiandao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. The Cinan shrugged and rolled his eyes.
Not that gentle.
Although we don't know Xiang Yu's condition, Bai Mo's targeted treatment is working very well so far. Previously, Hinako Akuta thought that Kuaiji Type Zero fell into the enemy's hands, it must have been dismantled, and she had lost it again.
But now, if she continues down this path, her Xiang Yu might face more than just death.
"Lord Xiang Yu, Yu Mei-ren is coming to rescue you."
Usually, it's the warriors who rescue the princess, but this time the roles are reversed.
At this moment, deep underground in the Blue Country, in a secret chamber undiscovered by anyone, lies Xiang Yu's location. Qin Hong stands before him; the entire room is filled with various runes, shimmering with an eerie light.
In the very center of that room was the location of the Kuaiji Type Zero, its body covered with various tubes of different sizes, its skull pried open, and a black Dream Creator lying quietly on it.
A phantom figure appeared beside Qin Hong; it was none other than Landao Tianwu.
"Brother Qin Hong, the enemy has arrived."
"It's alright, I'll go and kill them all."
"We mustn't act rashly. I've read Zhang Xianzhong's battle reports; that guy's strength is not to be underestimated. Haven't we been preparing for this very moment?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hong immediately nodded. He had never doubted his Tianwu. Looking at the faint light emanating from Kuaiji Type Zero, he plopped down in the chair beside him and said:
"For the dream of blue."
