Fifth floor of the apartment.
Switching her phone to the contacts screen and getting ready, Jiang Jian Yue took a few deep breaths and began to explore her own body.
Of course, she meant the newly acquired Light Bug ability.
Simply put, the light spheres inside the Heart Chamber were skill points that could be used to upgrade abilities.
However, allocating points came with intense pain and risk, so she had to prepare for someone to come up and perform first aid if necessary.
Jiang Jian Yue kept hypnotizing and brainwashing herself: Animation isn’t reality, and according to narrative logic, future enemies will definitely get stronger——so I have to be prepared to grow stronger too, right?
Let’s do this!
Inside the Heart Chamber, the light spheres gradually gathered toward the white fragments.
She chose to prioritize upgrading Visual Obscuration, Rapid Recovery, and Insect Blade, which were more useful.
Although Insect Blade was ugly, it was currently the only direct attack method.
As for Qi Trace, after acquiring it, she found it couldn’t be combined with Insect Blade for a Build.
Previously, she had always thought she couldn’t use it properly because she hadn’t mastered it——until she received information indicating its condition required using Swift Sword!
She could learn the elegant Swift Sword later; it was much cooler than Insect Blade.
Jiang Jian Yue’s thoughts wandered, trying to distract herself like when getting shots as a child.
But when the pain of her entire body being torn apart hit like a heavy hammer, the mental barriers she had built were easily shattered.
“—ss…”
Jiang Jian Yue collapsed onto the floor, as disheveled as when she first obtained the Insect Blade ability, her face twisted uncontrollably in pain, any icy aura completely gone.
Ha… So-called adults, such a little pain is nothing at all…
Khooohhh~
Her fingernails scraped tightly against the floor, the force so strong that some were pried up and torn off.
More than ten minutes of excruciating pain felt like hundreds of years, every second an endless torment.
The pain gradually faded.
Jiang Jian Yue lay on the floor, gasping, her clothes soaked in sweat, the ground beneath her sticky and wet.
Fortunately, she didn’t wet herself like she did when getting the Insect Blade.
She quickly ran into the bathroom to clean herself, using Rapid Recovery to restore her fingernails.
Jiang Jian Yue used the upgraded Insect Blade; her pale skin tore instantly, and a thicker, sharper Insect Blade burst forth compared to before.
The previous Insect Blade was just a bit longer than a hidden blade from Assassin’s Creed, thin and somewhat creepy and disgusting——now, the thicker, longer Insect Blade was less creepy but still gross.
Is it too late to regret not becoming a Summoner instead?
After washing up and leaving the bathroom, Jiang Jian Yue instinctively sat at her computer, moving the mouse to try to wake it up.
She originally thought her brain had been dulled by the pain——but the computer responded!
Jiang Jian Yue’s heartbeat sped up, her face flushed, and the small screen before her looked unusually elegant and refined…
She sent a random “Kids, I’m back” message to the small group, immediately went offline to avoid harassment from group members, and quickly clicked the pink software on her desktop.
Episode seven, here we go!
Lego Ninjago early recap: the last episode ended with her being taken away, and the seventh opened with a series of quick flashes of the Self-Defense Force dealing with GPRI Hunters.
Hmm… I really want this guy’s ability, and the one who controls ice is nice too… Why do they all end up dead?
The leader of the Kawasaki Base Cleanup Crew, that bald man, still wasn’t fast enough; he couldn’t outrun the 105mm Rifled Cannon shell, and after taking down some light-armored units and infantry, he got his lunch.
[Noob]
[The weak point of the 16-Type Wheeled Assault is the chassis, so a single slide tackle solves it]
[Does your country’s SDF know they have such strong fighting spirit?]
[This is Tokyo, the fighting spirit hasn’t even disbanded yet]
The camera returned to the protagonist, Yuki Asahi, moving straight to the next morning, where Yuki Asahi’s attempt to “visit the detention center” at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was rejected.
Koji Hattori’s line, “Yuki-kun is the young lady’s beloved, you know,” was also included.
Jiang Jian Yue felt a chill in her heart. Oh crap!
[Say something we don’t know]
[Red Sword bro with the assist]
[? !]
[Kaori faction, enduring]
[Police: Oh no, my job!]
[Rather than an interrogation, isn’t this more like a guest visit?]
[Is this official?]
Jiang Jian Yue: I see your M 😩🖐🎧.
Because of Koji Hattori’s statement, the following mediation room scenes became, in the eyes of the audience, a cold-faced young lady and a shy junior flirting——no! Slipping up like this is already stupid enough!
[Still pretending to be aloof, your teammates already sold you out]
[Wow, even a foot∠]
[I’ll lick you to death]
[prprprpr]
[So cute]
[So lewd]
[Yuki’s about to drop dead, and Sister Yue is still teasing him]
[How can you sleep at your age?]
[Bro, you just fell asleep?]
After that was the part where she, out of kindness but with a less-than-sharp mind, let Yuki Asahi lie flat.
[Why not get up first?]
Yeah, I’d like to ask that too.
[If Emi-chan wants a hug, just say so]
[Motherly love overload]
[Loli mom is right]
[The complex body movements are drawn so precisely, it feels almost like rotoscoping]
Then she headbutted the whole screen of question marks.
[?] X259
[What is Li doing]
[So dumb, so satisfying, so dumb, so satisfying]
[Wow, did it go to A?]
Yuki Asahi’s boyfriend power suddenly exploded, only to wimp out again, angering the viewers——Jiang herself was pissed off at the time too.
The OP arrived late. After confirming there were no new silhouettes, Jiang Jian Yue skipped it directly.
After the OP, there was a segment describing various abnormal events occurring in the world. Jiang Jian Yue was surprised to see the Battle of Kinshasa included in the plot.
It first showed the perspective of a black child witnessing the Meat Demon falling from the sky that day, running for his life before being rescued by some infantry.
Most of these infantry belonged to the garrison of the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with only three elite members with sharp blade armbands marked VGCF.
This was the main ground combat force of the Dawn Resources Group, the “Vanguard Ground Combat Unit.”
Because of their presence, the Democratic Republic of the Congo didn’t descend into chaos like in the real world but instead developed rapidly——this sudden disaster caught them off guard. If it were a chaotic country like in reality, things would have spiraled out of control quickly.
This part of the story ended quietly as a Su-25 Attack Aircraft skimmed over the infantry’s heads, with only some dialogue and background hinting it was Dawn Resources Group territory.
The bullet comments continued to laugh about the massive budget for the big scene, and only a few people noticed traces of the Dawn Resources Group.
Jiang Jian Yue let out a small sigh of relief. Thankfully, this scene was portrayed positively, and the production team didn’t throw mud.
The scene shifted back to Japan’s Cabinet Meeting, where there was a lot of chattering—basically about how hard it was to manage superhumans and, more importantly, the issue of the United States Military withdrawing——the comments were all asking, “Is there really such a good thing?”
The name Curtain Cluster was mentioned for the first time in these old guys’ conversation, since they were GPRI’s opposition.
In the audience’s eyes, GPRI had already fallen to villain status——so Curtain Cluster had to be the good guys!
Right…right?
Aren’t these guys the weirdly religious ones? They’re probably evil too then
