Chapter 194 The Candidates
Chapter 194 The Candidates
Dormouse, watching Di Xing, who had fallen into a coma, still tightly holding the equally unconscious Lei Xi, said, "That was really reckless. However, you're an interesting observational subject. I can't let you die yet. Just get some sleep."
Then she waved the pillow in her hand, and a yellow barrier appeared around the two of them. Lei Xi also turned into specks of light and flew back to Di Xing's deck. She even placed the pillow under Di Xing's head, saying, "Since you've been working so hard, I'll lend it to you for a little while."
The two of them fell to the ground along with the barrier, but thanks to the barrier and the pillow, Di Xing was unharmed.
The dormouse stretched and said, "Ugh, I'm exhausted. I really want to sleep. You can wait here for your friends to pick you up. I'm off!"
"Brother Di Xing!"
"Scum Planet!"
"You stinky Di Xing!"
"Di Xing!"
Finally, the women rushed to the wreckage of the ancient machine and frantically began to dig through the debris with their bare hands. Their trump card monster materialized, but fearing that its attack would harm Di Xing within the pile of wreckage, it could only desperately move the parts and fragments.
"Damn it, how come this bastard Titan has so many parts? At this rate, Di Xing might not be found before we do, waaaaah!" Ai Xiao's signature smile vanished, and she burst into tears.
"We can't give up, we have to hurry!" Nami, the strongest of the women, struggled to move a huge piece of debris.
"I know without you telling me," Ai said, laughing and crying as she continued to scavenge the wreckage.
Even Primella, Trudia, and Chimelia joined the rescue effort.
Primella shouted, "Dixing, you bastard, I haven't even fought you yet, you're not allowed to die!"
Tredia said in a tearful voice, "Dixing, you haven't done what you promised me yet, you can't die!"
Chimera simply moved the wreckage in silence.
"Oh dear, I think I'm late, but it seems like the perfect timing has come too?"
At that moment, a man with large black-rimmed glasses, flowing green hair, and a striking resemblance to the analyst from The Devil Savior appeared.
"Ladies, please make way, let me, a professional, handle this."
Lunya was surprised to see the person who came and said, "Shi Xun, what brings you here?"
"Miss Lunya, that was a crisis that could have destroyed the entire fourth level, so candidates from all districts have come." Que Yuxiang, leaning on her white cane, also arrived at the scene.
"I...I'm from the Animal District, Xin Leila," a blonde girl with a single ponytail who looked remarkably like the old version of the Spirit Beast Tamer Leila timidly approached the scene. "I...I'm here to help too."
"It's quite rare to see representatives from all six districts gathered here," Shi Xun said, adjusting his glasses.
"Shi Xun, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get my friend out of there!" Lunya urged.
"Alright, alright, after all, this is my forte. I'll leave it to you, Lion Crystal."
As Shi Xun pulled out the card, a fiery red crystal appeared on the scene—the Miracle Stone of Deception: the Lion Crystal.
Then, cracks appeared on the red crystal, which shattered, revealing the fiery red rock behemoth – the Miracle of Salvation, Lion Crystal – on the field.
It leaped into the rubble and swam swiftly, soon finding Di Xing sleeping among the ruins.
"Wow, this guy is so lucky! He just happens to be protected by a large triangular piece of scrap metal," Shi Xun exclaimed, sharing his vision through his glasses and the Lion Crystal.
"Rescue him, Lion Crystal!"
The lion crystal immediately grabbed Di Xing by the neck and dragged him out of the scrap metal pile.
Upon seeing Di Xing being rescued from the pile of scrap metal, the women all rushed to rush over.
"Please wait a moment," Que Yuxiang said, stopping the crowd. "He's likely injured; please hand him over to the doctor."
"You...you must be Miss Que Yuxiang? My name is Nightingale, and I'm also an intern doctor. I also know a lot about the injuries on this Di Xing's body."
Xiao Ying stammered as she raised her hand, seemingly indicating that Que Yuxiang was her idol, even though Que Yuxiang looked younger than her.
"That's wonderful!" Que Yuxiang said happily, tilting her head, her vine-made ponytail swaying in the wind. "Then I'll trouble you to help me treat him."
The two women examined Di Xing from head to toe. Sensing through her spiritual power that Di Xing was covered in injuries, Que Yuxiang couldn't help but frown.
"What happened to him? How did he get injured like this?"
"It's alright, I'm not going to die!" Di Xing had slowly regained consciousness and said with difficulty, "I also owe a lot to Miss Que Yuxiang, otherwise I would have been dead from the start, cough cough cough."
"Alright, you're really going to die this time, so please shut up," Que Yuxiang said angrily, stuffing her handkerchief into Di Xing's mouth. Xiao Ying grinned mischievously, but her hands didn't stop moving as she cleaned Di Xing's wounds and applied the herbal medicine that Que Yuxiang had brought.
Que Yuxiang also lit the incense burner, and the sweet fragrance wafted into Di Xing's nostrils. Combined with Que Yuxiang's gentle movements, Di Xing drifted into a deep sleep.
"Xiao Ying, is she asleep again?"
"Um"
Que Yuxiang then smiled, "Really, what a reckless person."
At this moment, inside the city lord's mansion on the fifth floor, a maid wearing black and green knee-high stockings knelt on one knee before her master.
"Master, Ariana has sent word that the time traveler stopped the ancient machinery from going berserk, but then the Necromancer King, the Evil Eye, appeared. The time traveler seems to have used the power of Sisyphus to repel the Evil Eye."
"Then those annoying Milie and Malice the Dormouse appeared and protected the transmigrator."
Lapris, sitting on the throne, was somewhat angry. "Really, one by one they come to someone else's city, what do they take it for?"
The elegant steward beside him bowed and asked, "Lord City Lord, should we invade back?"
Labyrinth waved his hand. "Too much trouble. They haven't caused any trouble, so let them be. Ariana, find a way to bring that transmigrator over to me. We can't let those guards get to him first."
"As ordered!"
"Hmm~" Labilins stretched lazily, his gorgeous dress outlining his graceful figure. "Let's wait a bit. His story is quite interesting; bringing him over would ruin the fun. You guys protect him secretly from the shadows."
“Yes, my lord,” Ariana said respectfully, “but please forgive my bluntness, that man is too much of a troublemaker; I have a feeling he won’t live much longer.”
A smile appeared on the city lord's beautiful face. "Ariana, do you know what Sisyphus means?"
Ariana wore a blank, adorable expression, clearly unaware.
"Sisyphus is an ancient legend in this world. Legend has it that he was the king of a small country around a giant lake on land. He seized Death, deceived the gods, and made death a thing of the past."
