LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 236 He's Here for Revenge, Right?
********
Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom... The violent sound of explosions arose.
Xiaomei urgently reported, "Over there, 009821 has been detected destroyed, controlling the Time-Space Conveyance Machine to self-destruct, and attacking the host."
"What should we do?" Sally quickly hugged herself, taking out various defensive treasures from the System Space.
Among them was a suit of armor, which she also put on.
Then she took out an oil lamp and rubbed it vigorously, "Master, please don't sleep anymore; if you sleep any longer, we'll both be finished."
Master Qing, groggy, asked Sally, "Where is this place?"
"Time tunnel."
"This isn't a bad place. Just travel against the current, and you can return to Ancient Times, right?"
"Master, you're joking, right..."
"Traveling backward to Ancient Times would cost too much. The host can't afford it."
"I'm now in debt over four hundred million; I can't go anywhere."
She was truly broke.
"Master is powerless. However, Master has observed the apprentice's facial features, which indicate great wealth, fortune, and longevity, so you will definitely overcome this catastrophe. Master is going back now." With that, he returned to the oil lamp.
Smash! She really wanted to throw the oil lamp away!
It had to be said, the armor Sally was wearing was truly remarkable.
The shuttler was destroyed; as it dissipated in the time tunnel, the armor remained unscathed.
"For now, the host should follow the flow of time for a while. Xiaomei will replicate the Time-Space Conveyance Machine, which will take about three months."
"That's the only option."
Sally entered a narrow branch of time.
Finally, blinded by a piercing white light, her body began to plummet at high speed!
The armor on her exuded a soft golden glow, protecting Sally.
The speed gradually eased.
In the end, she fell onto a dilapidated building.
"Where is this?" Sally released the System Map.
She discovered that her surroundings were full of ruins, trash everywhere, not even a single blade of grass.
"No way! Xiaomei? I've returned to Earth!"
Xiaomei didn't speak, beginning to scan the information of this world.
After a while, she relayed this world's background to Sally.
This wasn't Earth.
But it was very similar to Earth's civilization; perhaps they had some connection.
After human civilization reached a certain height, a devastating thermal war that swept across the continent erupted.
Civilization was destroyed; the living environment was severely damaged by earthquakes, torrential rain, snow, pollution radiation, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, magnetostorm disasters, and so on.
In the end, humanity gave up on this world, taking the migration arks to a new world. Only a portion could leave at that time, and many people remained.
More than two hundred years passed, and the humans that stayed, facing extinction, finally hit rock bottom and bounced back, beginning a genetic mutation event.
There were those with Beast Transformation Forms, not much different from Beastmen, and various races of birds and beasts. And there were Special Mutation Forms, with bodies turning to stone, liquid, flora, objects, etc.
However, these mutations also led to reduced Fertility Strength.
Therefore, the already sparse population faced a serious reproduction problem.
"Three months of time, might as well treat it like a vacation." If only she had children with her, playing with the kids, and Little Shisan...
Sally stretched lazily, teleporting down from the ruined building.
"Wait!" Xiaomei suddenly spoke up, her tone serious.
Sally was startled, "What is it?"
"I just scanned the Offspring System's data information."
"..." She just wanted to go on a vacation; she hadn't expected more work to come up.
"Not sure where it is, but once the host gets closer, Xiaomei will definitely sense it."
[Okay, I understand, first restore the Shuttler.]
[Host's emotional fluctuations detected. Do you need to clean up the emotional cache?] Xiaomei suddenly asked.
Just now, she had been deeply concerned about her child, especially the newly born Little Shisan. It must have been the anxiety of that moment that Xiaomei picked up on.
It has been quite a while since she last cleared the emotional cache.
Actually, she should clear it; it would be more conducive to achieving her original aspiration.
Xiaomei could also only clear when she cleared hers.
An individual's most important aspect is the soul, and the most crucial part of the soul is memory.
Xiaomei holds the memories of the previous nineteen hosts, as well as hers, to say she possesses a human soul isn't too far-fetched.
This is also why Xiaomei allows her to accumulate substantial debts on impulse, Xiaomei is becoming more and more like a person.
And her heart has become burdened with many attachments; those little beings, one by one, have jumped into her heart, becoming her vulnerabilities.
[Host emotional fluctuation exceeds cache threshold, automatic cleanup initiated!] Xiaomei's voice rang out once more.
Sally hurriedly intervened, [Don't!]
But within seconds, her thoughts became as still as calm water, without a single ripple.
Xiaomei's mechanical voice sounded, [Reminder to the host, there is sperm preserved within the System, you can get pregnant and bear offspring at any time.]
Sally pinched the bridge of her nose, [Pregnancy will allow you to exert your maximum protective power, right?]
[Yes, host. Do you wish to become pregnant?]
[Let's do it.]
[I've just detected the presence of a Divine Beast-grade male in this world. It is advisable for the host to choose a Divine Beast-grade male.]
[Who?]
[Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, Qing Linghuan.]
[Why is he here?]
At this moment, Sally's heart remained unruffled even as she brought up Qing Linghuan.
[Host has a mark left by him. The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox can track via this mark.]
[He's here for revenge, isn't he!]
…
Half a month later—
Three gunshots rang out from the meeting room.
Sally, wearing a mask and disposable cleaning suit, pushed a utility cart inside.
On the ground lay three dead bodies, both men and women.
Another man, stabbed in the side, held a gun and leaned against the back of a sofa; it was clear he was seriously injured by the stab wound.
"Do you want a doctor?" Sally asked the surviving man.
He was dressed in a black suit, very tall, around six feet three inches, with dark, cropped hair and eyes like the night. His sharply defined handsome face was splattered with quite a bit of blood, sending shivers down the spine.
The man looked at her, especially at her exceptionally calm eyes, and puzzled, "What's your name?"
She pointed at her work badge on her chest: Clean-up worker Xia Yin.
"Can you treat a wound?"
"I can." Sally took out a medical kit from the cart, "Take off your shirt to reveal the wound, and lie on your side on the conference table."
The man raised an eyebrow, took off his shirt, revealing a fit inverted-triangle torso with eight-pack abs. The bloody wound, far from detracting from his appeal, only added more to his fiercely masculine vitality.
Sally looked indifferent, uninterested in his physique, calmly treating the wound.
Ten minutes later—
Sally threw the used medical kit into the trash can and said to the man, who had just sewn up the wound and sat up, "Can I deal with the bodies now?"
"Go ahead." The man added, "Your resume."
Sally succinctly revealed the identity of the cleaner she was impersonating, "Xia Yin, female, twenty-three years old, graduated from District Nineteen's top high school, accepted to Huasha Women's University in District One, dropped out in her sophomore year to become a kept woman, abandoned after a year."
After hearing her summary, the man chuckled, "A plaything, huh, so"
"I refuse!" Sally cut off his unfinished sentence and looked at him again, her gaze no longer just calm but deadly still.
