The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 331 It’s your own fault
Who knew these two were actually quite capable? Hirose had only intended to give the child a few tugs to scare him, hoping he'd be so frightened he'd lose his grip and fall. But they actually held on and didn't panic.

Upon realizing that he had also been pulled up, Hirose was overjoyed, feeling that he had indeed done the right thing.

The telescopic rope hook was pulled higher and higher, and the man could already touch the bottom on the other side of the gap. In a moment, he just needed to follow the two children up and then land.

He had a good plan and was happily thinking that he could get out of trouble immediately, but unexpectedly, something happened to Jiang Hui.

Just as he was about to be hoisted up, he inexplicably fell down again. Hirose couldn't help but curse and had a bad feeling.

No, relying on those two little brats upstairs is completely unreliable and will only get in the way. He has to do it himself.

While the two were unable to move, the man used the weight of a few pieces of construction debris on the edge to find a point of leverage, and then grabbed the upper end of the handle over Jiang Hui's wrist.

The girl seemed to be in a daze or doing something else, and didn't react at all, but kept looking in the direction behind him.

What are you looking at? Over there... isn't that the army attacking? Are you scared because they're so far away? With this kind of mentality, you think you can survive?

The man gripped the upper part of the handle, and the situation changed instantly.

Although the rope hook had previously supported the weight of three people, it was one person pulling on each other, and the person holding the handle and bearing the weight was always Jiang Hui alone.

However, the point of control has now shifted between the two. Hirose has taken the lead and gripped the upper part of the handle. Jiang Hui, due to her posture, can only tightly grip the small part at the end of the handle.

Moreover, the limiting ring of the telescopic rope hook had been damaged by Jiang Hui, so it could not retract automatically and was still descending little by little.

Under such circumstances, these three people were destined for destruction.

Before Jiang Hui and the others could do anything, Hirose made his move. He had no good intentions from the start, and he didn't come here to share the chance to survive with these two little brats.

What he needs to do is throw these two burdens down and then figure out how to get back to the safe area above.

Thinking this, Hirose ruthlessly brushed Jiang Hui's hand away, as if shaking off something dirty, showing no mercy whatsoever.

The man had expected this to take some effort and was prepared for a stubborn resistance, but to his surprise, the two were complete idiots. They didn't offer any resistance whatsoever, simply letting his strength carry them as they fell. Oh no… it seemed they even reached out a hand at the very end, as if trying to pull him back. Haha, too late!

Hirose looked down at the two of them as they tumbled down, barely landing on the edge of the crevice. He felt a strange pang of regret; why didn't they just fall into the abyss in the middle? They wasted so much of his time. People like that deserved to die.

The man smirked, intending to climb up the retractable rope hook. But before he could wipe the smile from his face, a blinding light shone on him, and the intense heat enveloped him.

The man's last memory was of a sea of ​​red flames. He fell heavily to the ground, feeling himself completely away from the dangerous entrance and landing firmly on solid ground. Jiang Hui and the other man both breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they could even catch their breath, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from just one floor above them, sending a wave of heat crashing down on them and forcing them to tumble backward several times before finally coming to a stop.

Jiang Hui looked at the site of the explosion with a complicated expression; it was the very place where the two of them had just been struggling with that strange man.

If she hadn't noticed... or if she had run any slower, or if she had hesitated even a little longer, then they would be the ones engulfed in flames right now.

But seeing those who had wanted to harm them end up like this, Jiang Hui felt no pleasure whatsoever. It wasn't sympathy, but a sorrowful realization of the cruelty of life.

It turns out that death is such a simple thing; it can happen in an instant, with a wrong choice, or in a moment... No one can truly escape fate.

Something stirred slightly behind her, and Jiang Hui was startled.

Before landing, the two managed to adjust their posture with some difficulty; otherwise, if they had fallen in that position, Clarence's other leg would probably have been broken on the spot.

However, this adjustment was still quite difficult. The two did manage to get out of that slightly awkward position, but in the end, Jiang Hui still bumped into Clarence's leg—that injured leg—which still managed to cushion her back.

Jiang Hui got some relief, but Clarence was in a bad mood.

Realizing she had unintentionally done something wrong again, Jiang Hui almost couldn't help but let out a small scream. She quickly got up to check on the other person.

Whether Clarence was enduring the pain or had become numb, he simply waved his hand silently, then gestured for Jiang Hui to help him get away from here quickly—it was still too dangerous here.

What just blasted over seemed to be fragments of some kind of giant weapon; it swept across and completely leveled the upper half. A large area was shrouded in flames, making it impossible for those outside to see what was happening inside.

The tectonic plate where Jiang Hui and the others were located tilted completely due to the crack and collapsed to a plane dozens of meters below. It is now completely unrecognizable and has become a ruin.

The people who had been crawling behind them were nowhere to be found either. Jiang Hui didn't know if they had been scattered or... Just like she didn't dare to think about whether Hillman had gotten out of the passage in time—because the passage above seemed to have been leveled just now and was now completely surrounded by the bright red flames.

So this is fate—it's fate that they fell off the tectonic plate, it's fate that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get through the gap, it's fate that they escaped death, and it's fate that they ended up in this situation... Such is fate, they are powerless to change it, and can only continue to move forward following the faint light ahead.

Looking at the completely destroyed arena, the areas around her where the battle was still raging, and the two mechs that had somehow risen high into the air and were still fighting in the middle of the arena, Jiang Hui suddenly felt lost and didn't know what to do or where to go.
Will they really find a way to survive if they leave this place? Or will they still be heading towards another dead end? Jiang Hui didn't know.

After a long while, she sighed resignedly, picked up Clarence who was sitting on the ground panting heavily, and said, "Let's leave here first."
