Chapter 168: The Sovereign’s Marriage
"Tie the secondary silk ribbons tighter, Luo Bing! They're sagging over the eastern archway!" Li’s voice cut through the early morning calm of the expanded clinic grounds. She was standing on a low wooden bench, her hands full of bright red traditional linen cords. "The guests from the lower districts are already coming through the main gates! We can't have the ancestral decorations looking limp!""I'm pulling as hard as I can without ripping the wood out of the brick, Li!" Luo Bing barked back. He was standing on his tiptoes on top of a massive stone pillar, his heavy, scarred arms straining against the thick silk band. He wasn't wearing his dented dark-matter combat plates today. Instead, he wore a crisp,midnight-blue traditional tunic, though the badge pinned to his chest the silver eagle of the newly formed Global Medical Security division gleamed brightly under the morning sun. "Hao! Tell your assistant to stop yelling at the Chief of Global Security! I have three battalions of
Chapter 167: The Street Sweeper’s Sentence
Fei’s eyes exploded with a frantic, red-veined horror as my hand shot down through the silver-tinted rain. Before the bright red suicide capsule could even touch his dry, bleeding lower lip, my right hand locked onto his jawline like an iron vise. My thumb and index finger dug deep into the primary masseter muscle nodes beneath his ears, forcing his mouth to stay open in a rigid, helpless stretch.With a sharp flick of my left wrist, I jammed two fingers into the back of his throat, hitting the quick gag reflex meridian.Fei violently convulsed on the wet asphalt, his chest heaving as his body rejected the foreign object. The small crimson pill flew straight out of his mouth, clattering loudly against the iron steps of the clinic porch before bouncing directly into a muddy puddle filled with fine white crystal dust. The corporate neurotoxin instantly hissed, dissolving into a harmless, bubbly gray foam against the natural ancestral water."You don't get to audit your own exit strategy
Chapter 166: The Thousand-Mile Diagnosis
"Hao! The targeting grid is expanding!" Lin Yue’s voice cut through the heavy, humid air on the clinic porch. Her newly restored human fingers dug into my arm, her skin warm and trembling. "I can feel the static building in my hair! The ambient charge... it feels like the whole courtyard is about to explode!""He's right, Hao!" Li shrieked from the threshold, her hands gripping the wood casing so hard her knuckles turned chalk-white. "Look at the digital backup displays inside! The radiation meters are maxing out! It’s an orbital lock!""They’re pinning our coordinates from three hundred miles up, aren't they?" Luo Bing growled. He stepped in front of the wooden crib, his massive, bleeding frame completely blockading the linen bundle where the golden-eyed infant, Jiang Tian, lay sleeping. He didn't have his steel sword, but his tensed jaw showed the raw weight of his posture. "Tell me what to hit, Hao! Just give me a trajectory!""You can't hit this with a blade, Luo," I said, my voic
Chapter 165: The Ancestral Baptism
The high-frequency vibration from the asphalt didn't stop. It wasn't a mechanical fault or a dying engine from the hovering gunships. It was a massive, subterranean roar that built up from the very core of A-City, deep beneath the broken concrete, the polluted pipes, and the ruined dandelions."Hao! The ground is breaking under my boots!" Luo Bing yelled, his voice strained as he planted his heavy, armor-clad feet into the shifting mud. He grabbed the porch railing with his left hand, his right arm locking securely around the linen bundle containing the sleeping infant, Jiang Tian. "The reading on the tactical visors... it’s not a numbers scale anymore! The gauges are completely shattering!""Lin Yue, get back to the clinic door! Now!" I barked, my voice cracking as a blinding, emerald-green light violently ripped straight through the cracks in the pavement right between our feet."I can't move, Hao!" Lin Yue gasped, her newly restored human fingers gripping my sleeve tightly as the a
Chapter 164: The Bankruptcy of the Gods
The sound of my fingers meeting wasn't loud. It didn't carry the explosive rumble of a cosmic blast or the violent crack of a physical strike. It was a single, crisp acoustic frequency that rippled through the pouring silver rain, cut directly through the heavy down draft of the helicopters, and struck the iron frames of the black gunships."Nothing happened!" Chairman Fan shrieked, his thumb still jamming the golden trigger of his bioweapon until his knuckles turned blood-white. He let out a frantic, high-pitched laugh that shook his slicked-back silver hair. "You see that? Nothing happened! The valve is clear! Legionnaires, what are you waiting for? Fire the grid! Vaporize this whole district!""The valve isn't clear, Fan," I said, my voice cutting through his panic with absolute, dead-flat finality. "Listen to the air."A high-frequency, glass-shattering vibration suddenly erupted from every single droplet of water falling over the plaza. It wasn't an earthly echo. It was the resid
Chapter 163: The Sovereign’s Court
The hurricane blast from the twin-rotor engines slammed downward into the clinic courtyard, ripping the remaining shingles off the wooden storage shed and scattering the wet white ash of the dissolved crystal into the gale. The blinding spotlights from thirty black gunships locked onto my chest, turning the muddy garden into a stage as bright as a surgery theater."Hao! They're landing heavy mechs on the eastern avenue!" Luo Bing yelled, his voice barely cutting through the deafening roar of the rotors as he dropped his shattered hilt and shoved Lin Yue behind his massive, bleeding shoulder plates. "The perimeter is completely blown! These aren't corporate rent-a-cops! Look at the heavy tactical shields!""I see them, Luo," I said, my voice flat, my boots digging deep into the wet earth as the sheer wind-force whipped my snowy white hair across my face.The side doors of the lead colossus snapped back with a heavy hydraulic hiss. A long, silver-plated gangway slammed down into the mud
