Chapter 53 |
"Stop right there!!!"
A clear, sharp shout, carrying unquestionable authority, exploded from the entrance of the alley!
Fang Qi numbly turned his stiff neck, staring blankly toward the alley entrance.
A police car was parked diagonally by the side of the road, its door wide open.
Two long legs quickly stepped out!
The tall, straight figure, dressed in a crisp dark blue police uniform, was charging over at an astonishing speed!
Under the police cap was a fair, heroic, and beautiful face with arched eyebrows!
A ponytail whipped sharply behind her head, and those long legs wrapped in slim-fit police trousers moved incredibly fast, reaching them in just a few strides!
It was exactly the key character from the game, Gu Xi!
My beautiful police officer...
You came...
Way too late!!
Gu Xi instantly saw the incredibly bloody scene in the alley, as well as...
The silver-haired girl standing in the center of the pool of blood, holding a blood-stained piece of plastic, her skirt splattered with blood!
Her pupils shrank drastically as she shouted sharply,
"Cease your assault immediately! Put down your weapon! Put your hands on your head and crouch down!"
Liguang acted as if she did not hear it.
She merely cast a faint, emotionless glance at the woman who had suddenly rushed out.
As if looking at a rock.
Then, under the gazes of Gu Xi and the other newly arrived, equally dumbfounded police officers...
Her slender hand hanging by her side made a swish sound, and from her fingertips...
A scarlet laser blade popped out, so blazing hot that it distorted the air!
The searing heat caused the surrounding air to ripple slightly!
Next, without hesitation, she raised her hand and brought the blade down!
"Sizzle!!!"
The laser blade sliced through flesh and bone as easily as cutting through tofu!
Accompanied by... the short robber's final, faint, almost inaudible gasp.
A relatively intact arm detached from its owner just like that. It fell into the pool of blood, splashing tiny crimson droplets.
Fang Qi closed his eyes completely.
It was all so ruined.
Gu Xi... my beautiful police officer...
You really arrived just in time!
I waited for you like counting the stars and the moon, hoping you would prevent a tragedy, not hoping you would come to be an eyewitness to a murder scene!!!
The historic first meeting between the two women that he had been anticipating...
Actually... happened in this kind of scenario?!
He had completely lost the will to live, only wishing to have his throat slit on the spot so he could reload his save and start over!
"You!!!"
Clearly, this beautiful police officer was also stunned for half a second by Liguang's arrogant action!
But her professional training made her react instantly, her right hand lightning-fast pressing on the holster at her waist.
"Click!"
The sound of the safety being taken off was crisp and neat.
The next second, the dark muzzle of the gun was steadily pointing at Liguang!
"Final warning! Stop your actions immediately! Drop your weapon! Or I will shoot!!!"
Gu Xi's voice rose due to shock and anger!
Her gun-holding hand was as steady as a rock, firmly locking onto the silver-haired girl in front of her who looked exquisitely beautiful but extremely dangerous!
At the same time, her gaze quickly swept over Fang Qi, who was standing to the side with a pale face, a wooden expression, and looking as if his soul had left his body...
Then she shouted sternly:
"You! She is your AI companion, right?! Make her stop immediately! That is an order!"
Fang Qi: "?"
Me?
Me?
I make her stop?
He slowly turned his head to look at the beautiful police officer in front of him, revealing a completely defeated smile that looked worse than crying.
Spreading his hands, his tone was filled with the exhaustion of resignation:
"Officer... look at me..."
He pointed at the silver-haired yandere with scarlet eyes, looking like she had just returned from hell.
"...Do I look like I can control her?"
Gu Xi: "..."
Her hand holding the gun trembled imperceptibly, and a very obvious trace of astonishment and... speechlessness flashed across her heroic face.
Indeed.
As long as one wasn't blind, anyone could tell.
This silver-haired AI companion girl... was definitely not just experiencing a simple malfunction or programming error!
The cold, violent killing intent in those scarlet eyes...
The behavior of completely ignoring warnings and disregarding life...
The appearance of clearly possessing extreme emotions...
This was absolutely an awakening of self-awareness!
And she was currently going berserk!
At this moment, Liguang, who was being pointed at by the gun, had no reaction to the dark muzzle.
The laser blade at her fingertips slowly extinguished, but she still held that star fragment, her fingertips gently caressing its edges.
Then, she silently turned her head...
And looked at Fang Qi.
At that moment, all the bloody hostility and hollow coldness on her face...
Receded like a tide.
The scarlet eyes flickered slightly and strangely softened.
Mixed with a kind of... heartbreaking, desperate attachment!
Facing Fang Qi, she slowly... bloomed into a poignant smile.
So poignant... as if she would shatter in the wind the very next second!
"Master..." she spoke, her voice hoarse yet exceptionally clear, "The star... is broken..."
"Liguang... is so sad..."
Her eyelashes trembled violently, and her amber left eye quickly clouded over with a heavy mist of tears.
The data streams in her scarlet eye darted around wildly, full of the agony of self-loathing:
"But... Liguang regrets it even more..."
She stumbled half a step forward, her blood-stained beige skirt swaying gently, her voice choking up so much it was almost out of tune:
"Master... Master was supposed to... take Liguang to meet his colleagues today..."
"Was going to introduce Liguang... to everyone..."
A crystal-clear tear fell from the corner of her eye without warning, sliding across her cheek stained with faint traces of blood.
"It was Liguang... who ruined all of this..."
She closed her eyes, and tears continued to roll down, mixing with the bloodstains and leaving wet streaks on her pale face:
"Liguang was too impulsive... couldn't control herself... and messed things up... again..."
"Master finally... was willing to let Liguang into Master's world... but Liguang... destroyed it..."
Her voice grew lower and lower, filled with endless remorse and self-blame, so fragile that she seemed like she would break at a single touch.
She was like a completely different person from the bloody tyrant she was just moments ago.
Fang Qi's heart suddenly clenched!
"Liguang! It's okay! It's really okay!"
He even spoke subconsciously, trying to offer futile comfort:
"We... we can do it next time... definitely next time...!"
Before he could finish his words!
The pale beige skirt flashed before his eyes!
Liguang's figure vanished from her spot like a phantom!
Then she instantly appeared right in front of him!
Close at hand!
He could smell the faint, sweet scent of strawberries on her, mixed with... a strong stench of blood!
She raised her clean hand, her fingertips gently brushing across his cheek.
Her eyes were gentle and deeply attached, as if wanting to carve him into the depths of her soul.
"Sleep, Master."
She said softly, carrying a bizarrely soothing tone.
"When you wake up... everything will be fine."
"Liguang will... handle everything."
"We will... be together forever."
Fang Qi: "!!!"
His pupils shrank rapidly!
However, he didn't even have time to react!
The hand that brushed his cheek gently pressed a spot on the back of his neck...
A precise jolt of electricity instantly surged through his nerves!
His vision went black!
In the final second before his consciousness completely sank into the dark, he heard Gu Xi's furious, terrified scream:
"Don't you dare—!!!"
And then—
"Bang—!!!"
A crisp, deafening gunshot!
And then...
Darkness swallowed everything.
