The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 330 Scoundrel
Jiang Hui didn't even have the strength to shout. From her perspective, she could kick this despicable person down, but the moment she kicked, it would immediately disrupt the balance above. Jiang Hui wasn't going to jeopardize their only chance of survival just to deal with such a guy.

Clarence, however, couldn't help but gasp a few times behind him, probably because his injured leg had been pulled and was in a lot of pain. So, the guy who pulled him down was really despicable.

The hand was getting heavier and heavier. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that they were all about to fall. She couldn't move rashly, and she didn't have time to think of any other solutions.

Jiang Hui gritted her teeth and decided to ignore this person for now. Whatever he wanted to do, she'd go up there first.

Jiang Hui tapped a hidden button on the handle with the tip of her already taut index finger, and the rope hook began to respond. This was her last resort.

Telescopic rope hooks have an automatic rebound function and can lift objects of a certain weight. In fact, they also have an emergency function—if the lifting weight exceeds the limit, a one-click overdraft mode can be activated, sacrificing the internal power of the rope hook to increase the degree of extension.

The rope hook can't move anymore, probably because that treacherous guy down below pulled the scale; otherwise, it would have pulled them both up already.

Jiang Hui and his team didn't have time to argue with the other party, so they could only try this overdraft mode as a last resort.

However, after using it, the rope hook was completely ruined and could no longer be extended or retracted. So she originally intended to save it for a crucial moment, but unexpectedly, this person ruined her plan.

Fine, consider it saving one more person. Even though the other party was no good, and Jiang Hui was unwilling to save him, she still chose to activate the overdraft mode after weighing the pros and cons.

The telescopic hook began to activate, using its last remaining strength to initiate a final "self-rescue procedure." If it failed, the hook would be destroyed, and both women would either die or be seriously injured. But if it wasn't used, they wouldn't last long either. So Jiang Hui had no choice but to take this gamble.

You absolutely must succeed!

She felt the entire rope hook taut, the handle burning hot, and a tremendous pulling force lifted them up along her wrist, gradually increasing in speed and height. In no time, they had risen several meters; if they held on for a few more seconds, they should reach the stable area above.

Jiang Hui couldn't contain her joy and temporarily ignored the chaotic battle that was closing in on them. The fighting had completely spread to their side, and small pieces of construction debris were constantly flying towards them, grazing past them.

Just... a little bit more.

"boom--"

Jiang Hui was startled, immediately sensing a terrifying aura approaching them. Even though it wasn't the right moment, she still managed to turn the rope hook in the direction it was pointing.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; once you do, your soul almost flies away. Jiang Hui's mind went blank, and she suddenly felt like she couldn't do anything, not even paying attention to the strange movements of the person below.

Of course, this was just her own feeling; in reality, she did react, instinctively destroying the restraining ring on the handle of the telescopic rope hook to pull away from the perceived danger zone. With the restraining ring destroyed, the rope hook completely lost its telescopic function. The overdraft and retraction she had just exerted also dissipated, and a long rope was pulled out from the handle, pulling her straight down.

The speed at which it falls is much faster than the speed at which it rises.

The situation was completely out of control, but surprisingly, Jiang Hui didn't try to stop it. Her mind was a bit of a mess, but she forced herself to stay calm, quickly adjusting her direction and silently calculating the time. She was thinking about whether she should just let go... Even if she fell into the crevice, she couldn't stay in this position.

"That's incredibly stupid! How could they let the ball drop at a time like this! You want to die, but I don't!" The person at the bottom was dissatisfied with the situation.

Hirose did it on purpose.

He had gone to great lengths to get the tickets for this competition. Although they were the lowest tier, they were still inner circle tickets, which were not only expensive but also extremely difficult to obtain; many people wanted to buy them but couldn't. To get these tickets, he had to beg and plead, even giving away several collectibles as gifts.

He bought the ticket not to watch the game, but to make money. He wanted to take lots of photos at the match and post them on his social media to make everyone envious. Little did he expect that before the game was even over, he would be caught in this terrorist attack…

Not only did he fail to gain any traffic, but now he's almost lost his life. Damn it, he's still so young, he doesn't want to die—

He had been annoyed by the two people in front of him since the beginning. One was a skinny, blond girl, and the other was a cripple with a broken leg. These two were still not giving up and were blocking the way... Didn't they know they should act according to their abilities and leave the chance of survival to those who needed it?

As it turned out, these two actually managed to carve out a way for them to escape, almost to their deaths, all right in front of him… How could the man accept this?!
Hirose Go is not old; by his age, he should still be in university, or at least already working if he weren't academically inclined. But he is different; he neither studies nor works, and has been idle for many years since dropping out of school.

Yes, there are such people in interstellar space too; after all, there are always those who try to get by in any era.

Over the years, he lived off the small house left by his parents, receiving social welfare and spending his days wandering the streets aimlessly. Of course, I wouldn't dare call it theft or fraud, because these are all very serious crimes in interstellar space, and if he had done them, he would be in an interstellar prison by now. But he definitely didn't do anything good either—in short, an interstellar version of a petty hoodlum.

Later, he heard from somewhere that he could make money as a themed online broadcaster, so he asked some friends in the underworld about it. Coincidentally, there was a public competition like this, so he went to great lengths to get a ticket, planning to use this competition to establish himself as an online broadcaster.

Putting everything else aside, this competition had an incredibly high viewership and a very low success rate; many top streamers couldn't even get tickets. If the man had successfully gathered material and uploaded it to his online account, he might have actually been able to change careers. But no one expected that this competition wouldn't be a good opportunity for starting a business, but rather a ticket to hell.

When faced with a life-or-death situation, Hirose Go's inherent roguish nature suddenly surfaced.

Since he couldn't live himself, he couldn't bear to see others succeed before him. So he grabbed Clarence's leg, intending to pull both of them down with him, hoping they would fall into the crevice and die, making them an obstacle in his way—
