Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!-Chapter 2160: Clash (Part 1)

Dou Shengnan actually came to the Chongming Bird Administrative Region, and this matter spread completely in ten minutes. The reason is nothing but her arrogance. Even though she shook off the people from the 22nd Military District, she appeared in another place without changing her appearance, nonchalantly appearing in public. As a result, not only the Lichuan Municipal Government and the 22nd Military District, but also the Chongming Bird Administrative Region took measures.

Not long after Dou Shengnan appeared, she was targeted by players from Zone 008, and she didn’t stay in Chongming Bird for long as if she left quickly.

"It seems that the deal between the Guile Sound Knights and the Tian Family is extraordinary, making her willing to use herself as bait to buy time," Nie Xuan said quietly to Xu Huo at the gate of the Game Government Base.

Shortly thereafter, new information appeared on the Collection of Information Terminal. Dou Shengnan had run to another city in the division, nearly crossing half of the division from Chongming Bird.

Xu Huo didn’t intend to leave. He still had the mood to watch ordinary people’s jokes about the military district players and government players on the Collection of Information Terminal. It seemed that Zone 008 also had no intention to kill Dou Shengnan at any cost. After traversing several cities without causing too much loss, this situation continued until about 9:10 p.m.

"It’s almost time," Xu Huo got up and told Nie Xuan to wait near the square. He went to Chongming Bird Pharmaceuticals and found Dr. Dian.

The Girl in the painting had already been playing there with Dr. Dian for half a day. At first, she was very proactive in helping Dr. Dian clean, tidying up the already spick-and-span place arranged by robots once again. Even after being repeatedly stopped by Dr. Dian, she hesitated and asked if she really didn’t need to do anything because, while staying in others’ homes, she would always help out, and not working would make people think she was freeloading.

After a few rounds of tug, Dr. Dian’s emotions rose from sympathy to guilt and compassion. Not only did he let the Girl in the painting stay in his office, but he also had robots run errands to buy many trinkets she wanted to eat and play with.

When Xu Huo arrived at Dr. Dian’s workspace as a visitor, he saw the disheveled middle-aged man scratching his head while working, occasionally glancing over to the Girl in the painting to prevent her from anxiously picking up cleaning tools again.

Upon seeing Xu Huo, Dr. Dian immediately pointed to the Girl in the painting and said, "Persuade her not to work anymore; I’ve got enough robots for that."

Afterwards, he excused himself to the restroom.

The Girl in the painting patted her chest and then gave a thumbs-up pointing to herself, indicating she had completely "handled" Dr. Dian.

"That’s good," Xu Huo waited outside for Dr. Dian to come out, then candidly expressed his desire to leave something with the Girl in the painting, hoping for Dr. Dian’s agreement.

Dr. Dian didn’t think much and agreed, but Xu Huo requested a different location because there wasn’t enough space here.

"How much space do you need?" Dr. Dian asked, slightly puzzled, then emphasized, "You remember your sister is only staying here for a day, right?"

Xu Huo smiled, "When I come to pick her up, I’ll take the item with me as well. If I don’t come, I’ll have someone else get it."

He previously claimed not to have friends in this area, which is why he wanted his sister to stay with him. Now he’s saying someone else will come to pick her and the item, contradicting himself somewhat.

But agreeing to the first request often makes refusing the subsequent one difficult. Hence, Dr. Dian hesitated for a moment before asking how much space he needed.

"At least fifty meters high and thirty meters wide," Xu Huo replied.

Dr. Dian looked at him deeply, "Looks like I can’t refuse today, can I?"

"No, it’s just that you are a trustworthy person, so I’m entrusting my sister and the item to you," Xu Huo said slightly sadly, "If I don’t come back, and no one comes, you..."

Dr. Dian raised a hand to interrupt, "Stop, you’d better come yourself, just for a day. Come tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

After speaking, he led the way, crossing the passageway to another building, "This building is mostly used to store samples, and much of it is empty."

At this point, the staff inside the building had already gone home; only the robots were still working. Dr. Dian used his authority to open a warehouse, "This should be large enough, put whatever you need to here."

The Girl in the painting had already gone inside. Xu Huo stood at the door and asked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll put something dangerous in here?"

Dr. Dian had no intention of going in and simply said, "Even if you throw a bomb in there, it won’t blow through this building."

"Don’t worry, it’s not a bomb," Xu Huo took out the "Time Tower."

Space-Time Items have mutually incompatible characteristics, so when the "Time Tower" appeared in the Chongming Bird Administrative Region, some of the space-time props set up in the city malfunctioned. Simultaneously, space-time instruments were also disrupted—Of course, considering this possibility, most instruments deployed in the city aren’t space-time type, causing minimal disturbance in a short period.

Interference between space-time props and instruments isn’t uncommon. Maybe a passing player happened to use a prop; as long as nothing severe happens, the local government won’t pursue it too much.

By this time, it was already past 9:17 pm. After leaving Chongming Bird Pharmaceuticals, Xu Huo experimented with manipulating time within this range, succeeding.

And just as he turned to head towards the square, a barely detectable thin black line suddenly swept across at waist height...

In an instant, Xu Huo expanded his Spiritual World to its fullest, barely managing to dodge a hundred meters away but was intercepted again. Due to the "Time Tower’s" influence, "Spatial Sphere," "Unassailable Territory," and Rank-A defense props like "Auto-Adhesive Film" were all disabled. Utilizing the "Lifelike Wax Figure" and the enhanced spatial ray barrier within the "Cubic Space," he managed to block the first attack and was subsequently blown away.

In less than a second of retreating, upwards of twenty prop attacks followed in quick succession. An unseen force repeatedly struck his defense prop "Rainbow Light," with fluctuating glimmers flashing rapidly due to the automatic attack reception but were quickly caught in the seams. A slender Liu Ye blade pierced through the defenses towards Xu Huo’s heart!

Even with the assistance of the trait "Protagonist’s Halo," Xu Huo still consumed one of the "Kitty Grants You Three Lives." Then, a cold murderous intent pressed from behind. Without needing to look back, he knew—more props were coming!

Wasting no extra moves, he initially used "Harmonious Atmosphere" to disable some props, then quickly deflected several remote attack props speeding towards him using the Black Blade. Subsequently, he retracted "Harmonious Atmosphere," ensuring he wouldn’t be affected by traits with "The Fog of Dimension," then consecutively used "Death of the Holder," "Weight of Life," and "Light of Justice." "Weight of Life" was a gravity device indifferent to foes or allies, so he was also affected. When forced to descend to the ground, he took out the "City Sandbox" and "Counting Soldiers and Generals," locking onto opponents from his Spiritual World range while they evaded "Death of the Holder," forcibly moving them to a predetermined spot, attacking together with the Spiritual Embodiment and "Everything Wants to Slice!"

Space-time defense props are among the most useful defense props. Still, Xu Huo couldn’t use such a defense prop, nor could others, which is why he risked pinning the opponents in place. However, this strike didn’t succeed; when his Spirit Power Materialization receded, nothing remained beneath the secant line.
