Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 401: Fragment: No Dreams for Five Hundred Years (Thirteen)

When the junior sister was still in Feiyue Sect, she would occasionally stop to read a few books and couldn't help but make some comments.

She often asked Si Yuanhui: "Why do the protagonists in these novels always have to pay a huge price to kill the villains? Why can't we change to a more relaxed way?"

Many years later, the same question hit Si Bai and Fu Qingyuan like a boomerang.

They understood that the "tragic victory" was not because the protagonist did not want to work hard, but because... the protagonist had reached her limit. She only had so many cards in her hand, and she did not have the ability to hold up the sky with one hand like the junior sister.

Now, not to mention that they don’t have enough time to prepare for the unknown enemy, even if they think they are fully prepared, they may not be enough in front of the enemy.

For the time being, we can only believe that as long as the lives of these two are sacrificed, at least the city can be saved.

The thirteenth underground floor was designed to be the city's ultimate trump card. Once an irresistible catastrophic disaster occurs, people with authority will go to the control room over there to start the land separation procedure for the thirteen districts of the card city.

Fu Qingyuan's puppet body moved faster than Si Bai. She came to the control console first and skillfully inserted a wire into the data port at the back of her neck. She didn't have this thing originally, but it was temporarily modified to facilitate data transmission. In fact, she expected at that time that one day she would complete the same operation on the thirteenth floor underground, and that also meant that she would never be able to leave this secret room again.

No one knows how much time Su Sheng can leave for them.

"...Authentication passed..."

“Should we start the land parcel separation procedure?”

“Confirmed.”

"…The land parcel separation procedure failed to start. The reason for the failure is that the docking interface has melted."

But they were too late after all.

Fu Qingyuan looked at the schematic diagram of urban structural damage displayed on the screen, and his heart sank.

She stared at the screen with eyes wide open in despair, muttering to herself: "I thought...I thought as long as we..."

I am sorry.

We will never see you again.

Along with our card city.

"Qingyuan! That guy has no intention of letting us live!" A loud shout from behind startled Fu Qingyuan, "He has been planning to massacre the city from the beginning! Qingyuan, we must activate the last plan. Su Sheng temporarily took him to the sky above the city. She seems to be restricted by the rules and cannot kill him, but at least she can give us an hour or two."

In other words, although the time is short, it is enough for them to react.

"Sister Lele." Fu Qingyuan held Si Bai's hands, raised them to his chest, and said very seriously, "Starting our last plan means that you will return to your original world, but you may forget the time you spent with Cangzhao. And I will stay in the card city forever, imprisoned in this city, and can never be freed, never again..."

She raised her head, tears already in her eyes, but she still said firmly: "I can never hug Sister Lele and Cangzhao as a human again."

Si Bai pulled out a hand and helped Fu Qingyuan put a strand of hair behind his ear: "Qingyuan, you have to bring my share with you when you meet Junior Sister."

"Sister Lele, you have to take my share with you and live on in the original world." Fu Qingyuan hugged Si Bai tightly again, just like every time after they became lovers, as if this was just an ordinary separation, not a farewell of life and death.

They intertwined their fingers and walked to the end of the chamber, each pressing their free hand against the seemingly empty wall.

Two rays of light swept across his palms, and a cold electronic voice rang out in the secret room: "The final line of defense is activated."

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the wall, and it became two halves of a door, opening to both sides. The space behind this door, apart from Si Bai and Fu Qingyuan, was only known to the designer himself. Unfortunately, the designer died of overwork a year ago, and the last two people who actually saw the secret room will also erase their names from history books today.

In the center of the empty room, a coffin-like device lay there alone.

It was a device specially prepared for Fu Qingyuan.

As long as he lies in the coffin and connects the data cable inside to the interface behind his brain, Fu Qingyuan's consciousness will be completely connected to the city, becoming a "system" rather than a person.

Every step she took toward the coffin required tremendous courage.

"Sister Lele, I can't bear to leave you." She turned her back to Si Bai and didn't dare to look back, because she was afraid that once she looked back, she would lose the courage to go on.

"I can't bear to leave you either." Si Bai's voice came from behind.

"Sister Lele, I don't love you."

"I don't love you either, Qingyuan. I'm just used to having you around. You're the same, right?"

"Yes, Sister Lele. We just miss Cangzhao very much and don't want to forget her when we get old."

Take my share and live together.

Fu Qingyuan opened the coffin and found the pitch-black data cable inside. He hesitated for a few seconds before connecting it to the data interface on the back of his neck.

She lay back.

Si Bai stood by her side and saw her face gradually lose its facial features and turn into a smooth blank.

"Blank Doll" is the card that Fu Cangzhao made in order to keep her soul in the world of immortal cultivation. The deeper they delve into the field of cards, the more they realize how powerful Fu Cangzhao's card-making talent is. Material creation cards need to violate the original conservation law of the world, which is generally impossible to make. There is only one way to circumvent the conservation law - to create a small world again. This world does not need to be complete, it is enough to accommodate an object, but it is not something that ordinary people can make casually. It requires extremely high ideas for creation.

Goodbye, Qingyuan.

The soul pursuing a better life is integrated into the entire city.

In the streets and alleys, everyone can hear Fu Qingyuan's voice: "Attention, all citizens, Card City has now encountered a powerful enemy. He has destroyed the land interface we built with our own hands and does not intend to let any of us survive. But are you willing to sit and wait for death? Look at the people you love and the people who love you, look at the offspring you have nurtured in the mechanical hotbed, you definitely don't want to die like this. We must not retreat because of this. On the contrary, we must thwart the enemy's conspiracy and keep him on this land forever. Even if we die, we will drag him to be buried with us! This is our determination - Card City!

"From today on, the card city will be managed by the QY system. Everyone please follow the system's instructions, go to the energy interface closest to you, follow the city defense army's instructions, and complete the energy input. During this period, most facilities in the city will stop supplying energy, and everything will make way for the destruction of the enemy!

"This is a necessary sacrifice!"
