Chapter 60 The Seven Deadly Sins
In the command room of the New Moniach, everyone fell silent.
The signal suddenly dropped, and at that moment Caesar no longer cared about Lu Mingfei's earlier comments about his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
His eyes were fixed on the display screen where the signal had dropped; his Word of Power, Kamaitachi, was at its maximum.
Although it was almost futile, he wanted to hear Lu Mingfei's or Susie's voices, even if it was only a one in ten thousand chance.
but no.
Manstein's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead, but not from anger, but from tension. He activated his Word of Power to the fullest extent.
The snake, like Ye Sheng, possesses the power of words to transmit messages.
Lu Mingfei once used this to remotely command Ye Sheng across the ocean to escape from the Bronze City.
Perhaps his snake can also find Lu Mingfei.
"Alright, you're basically just asking to die. Why are you still talking about danger? You should be more heroic..."
Lu Mingfei's words kept echoing in his mind.
Manstein felt he could still see Lu Mingfei's smile as he said those words, a gesture that comforted him.
"Damn it! I should really say something like, 'You guys are invincible, this whole thing will be a piece of cake!'"
Manstein gritted his teeth; the sudden attack on the bronze statues had completely exceeded all their expectations.
The entire operation went completely off track from that moment on!
At this moment, Lu Mingfei and Susie's signals completely disappeared! It wasn't a derailment at all; they plunged headlong into a dark abyss!
And just then...
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
A loud bang rang out, and Manstein and Caesar stared at each other in shock. They both sensed what was happening below—the Bronze City was functioning again!
It's operating just like it did last time, when it almost took the lives of Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya!
Inside the Bronze City, hundreds of meters underwater, separated by layers of rock and stacks of bronze, it is arguably one of the most isolated locations in the world.
Lu Mingfei was curious whether they would be eavesdropped on if they plotted in a place like this, but he couldn't be bothered to care.
He had already memorized the secret technique called Bloodlust that Susie had mentioned.
"Bang!!!!"
A loud thud came from above, and Lu Mingfei and Susie couldn't help but look up at the same time.
Lu Mingfei immediately spoke up.
"Get ready, put on your masks, and run faster."
Susie nodded, didn't say anything more, and simply followed behind Lu Mingfei.
She just didn't see the unusually serious look in Lu Mingfei's eyes.
Last time, he used a secret technique to calculate the route, but this time he had to save the secret technique to deal with the Dragon King, so he could only rely on his memory to follow the path.
Having the Qinggang Sword would be much better, as it would greatly increase the margin for error.
He took two steps forward and then suddenly stopped, frowning. For no particular reason, he realized something was wrong.
"What's happening! The water's already overflowing!"
Susie called out in a low voice, sounding anxious. For a gentle girl like her, speaking like this indicated extreme nervousness.
"No! I can tell, this activity is going in the wrong direction! It's different from last time, we need to replan the route, hold me tight!"
Lu Mingfei roared and drew his twin swords.
Without hesitation, Susie leaped onto Lu Mingfei's body, the huge Michelin tire almost swallowing her whole.
Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, then let out a long breath, and then a golden light flashed in his eyes!
What kind of swordsmanship was that? All that could be seen was a series of flashes of cold light, forming a continuous line. In the blink of an eye, Lu Mingfei had pierced a large hole in the bronze wall in front of him.
Lu Mingfei immediately carried Susie out of the cave entrance, and Susie was stunned by the sight before her.
It's like a miniature garden game where the areas players can't see are mostly empty space, and Bronze City is quite similar.
The places of residence, the places of audience, and all sorts of other places were all properly decorated with an artistic flair.
But beyond these, behind the walls, inside the shell.
In the unseen place, a place that would never be reached under normal circumstances, are enormous gears, with various crisscrossing bronze pillars connecting them all.
It's like an exquisite toy magnified countless times.
At that moment, someone forcibly reversed the direction of a gear, causing this mechanical device, which had no redundant design, to rapidly break down like a sweater with its threads pulled out.
They now see everything through the gaps in the machinery: bronze gears falling off, bronze pillars twisted like pretzels.
The top began to crumble, cracks appeared in the bronze walls of the outer shell, and seawater poured in. Susie recalled seeing her friend pouring water into an ant nest when she was a child.
As the bubbles rose to the surface, the cavities in the anthill were instantly filled; water, the source of life, now became a deadly weapon.
Eventually, the ant floated to the surface of the water and died.
But right now, they are ants.
"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."
Lu Mingfei's calm voice came through the earpiece.
But this isn't just comfort; it's confidence.
Susie completely believed it.
Because at this moment, Lu Mingfei is flying back and forth between the spinning gears and the bronze pillar that has been twisted into a pretzel shape.
He plunged his longsword into the bronze wall and climbed upwards like Spider-Man.
That's simply incredible.
The bronze pillars connect different spaces, which is quite clear from here, and is very helpful for Lu Mingfei to determine his location.
"Ye Sheng described to me the location where he discarded the box...it was here!"
Lu Mingfei leaped forward, shouting at the same time.
"Susie! Kenshin!!!!"
"good!!!"
On Lu Mingfei's back, Susie's golden eyes burned fiercely. She felt as if she could even see the magnetic field and the double-edged sword in Lu Mingfei's hand, which was flashing with cold light and covered with cracks.
She succeeded! She manipulated Lu Mingfei's sword, sending it flying to its destination! That small, compressing space!
Lu Mingfei brandished his longsword once more, and several flashes of cold light passed by. The bronze wall in front of him shattered instantly, being cut into pieces.
The water was overflowing wildly, and the walls were closing up. Lu Mingfei sheathed his longsword, grabbed a crack in the wall with one hand, and grabbed a rectangular metal box with the other.
"Here you are, take it."
Lu Mingfei handed the box to Susie, who then tied it to herself with a cable tie.
Lu Mingfei looked up.
The top of the Bronze City has collapsed and is now leaking water from top to bottom. This place is also one of the few places where there is still air.
Lu Mingfei looked at the collapsing cracks above, where river water was pouring out and the cracks were widening.
The outcome is already clear: this bronze city will completely collapse into bronze fragments and sink to the bottom of the Yangtze River.
But the problem is how they're going to get out.
He doesn't have a horse, so how can he leap across the Tanxi River?
Besides, compared to Yue Ma Tan Xi, that one looks more like a waterfall now; it feels like only the Monkey King could do that.
Looking at the crumbling top of the bronze city and the expanding waterfall, Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and then looked at Susie.
"Do you still have that bomb with you?"
Susie nodded and took out the bomb.
It was a black box. Lu Mingfei opened it and found flowing red liquid inside. The wires were connected haphazardly, making it look like something made in the 19th century.
