The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"I see... For a device that was rushed to completion, it's been incredibly difficult to survive until now."

"Holmes understands."

"We have no choice but to break into Xianyang before the device completely fails. We'll have one last rest tonight, but we must storm Xianyang by tomorrow."

"Thankfully, at this point, the First Emperor can no longer use methods like orbital bombardment. This effectively blocks one of his most powerful weapons."

"Holmes considers himself fortunate that this device has survived this long."

"Indeed, we have no chance of victory due to our numbers. We can only rely on a short-term decisive battle." Da Vinci nodded in approval. "Fortunately, the First Emperor has always looked down on us and never considered us a formidable enemy. Otherwise, if he had only released the heroes of Mount Li, we would have been completely defeated."

"Therefore, we must fight to determine the outcome before the First Emperor truly takes them seriously!"

Suddenly, Jing Ke walked into the tent. She glanced at Holmes but said nothing. She simply asked, "Da Vinci, where is the thing I asked you to do? Is it finished?"

"Well, it's assembled, for now." Da Vinci pointed to a small device on the table. "But whether it will work depends on the credibility of the communication protocol stolen by Koyanskaya."

"Hey, are you doubting me? I'm not going to talk about myself, but I absolutely guarantee the reliability of our products."

"Hearing someone questioning her, Koyanskaya rushed directly into the tent."

"da Vinci:"……""

"What do you all think of her tent workshop?"

"I have obtained some tentative evidence based on the data recovered from the wreckage of the Tiger tank."

“But after all, I built it on my laptop, so I have no way to verify the results.”

"The probability of success is about 50/50. Honestly, this thing is far from my masterpiece."

"Leonardo da Vinci was not very optimistic about this device."

"That's enough. It's amazing that you were able to accomplish this in such a short time." Jing Ke was already very satisfied.

"Of course I'm a genius!" Da Vinci said with a bright smile, "You can rely on me as much as you want, but I still don't want to push you from behind in this way. It's too reckless."

"Her smile faded and she looked a little worried."

Jing Ke smiled. "It's precisely because I messed around in the past that I'm here now, and why my name is etched in history. Don't try to dissuade me. So-called heroes, in a sense, are just stubborn, self-righteous people."

Da Vinci stopped trying to persuade her and simply said, "Be sure to discuss this with Ritsuka before setting off."

"Or... say goodbye."

"Maybe we won't be able to meet again after this trip."

"Heroic spirits are the beings whose names are sung by countless people after the death of heroes and heroes."

"They will be summoned and come back to the world, but this does not mean they are immortal."

"The vast majority of Heroic Spirits, every time they manifest, are unable to leave their memories in the Throne of Heroes."

"This also means that if he dies after manifesting... 'this him' is truly dead."

"The next time a Heroic Spirit with the same name reappears in the world, it won't be 'this one' anymore."

"Fuck, why is it so sad? The me in the sky, isn't I going to commit suicide?"

Jing Ke's brows twitched wildly.

He had a premonition that the man in the sky was going to score a second goal and assassinate the First Emperor!

"No, buddy, that Qin Shi Huang was so big, and he was flying in the sky. How could you kill him? With this dagger?"

He looked down at the dagger in his hand.

He was planning to hide in the map and assassinate the First Emperor...

The dagger... the giant mechanical emperor floating in the sky...

I'll kill your horse!

Can this kill?

"Jing Ke, you are indeed an incomparably brave warrior!" Prince Dan of Yan held Jing Ke's arm in admiration, saying, "I was right about you! Women are just as brave as men!"

Jing Ke: "...If you ever call me a woman again, I'll stab you first!"

"Ahem... Believe it, I believe it." Prince Dan of Yan took three steps back silently.

…………

"I understand. Don't compare me to Spartacus." Jing Ke chuckled.

"She left the tent and walked around a bit outside before she saw Ritsuka, who was on patrol with Mashu."

"You're here, Ritsuka."

"Jing Ke, what's wrong?" Ritsuka and Mashu both turned to look over."

"Nothing much, just wanted to discuss future strategy. With Chen Gong and Red Hare joining us, and the ability to reunite with Nezha and Mordred, as well as Goyanskaya...regardless of whether she can be a combat force, at least with Holmes and the others watching over her, we should be able to rest assured."

“Our forces are fully prepared, so, um…”

"Jing Ke is a little embarrassed to speak."

"But Ritsuka saw through it immediately and said, 'You want to act alone, right?'"

Jing Ke smiled and said, "You saw through me."

"You want to overthrow the First Emperor? Just Miss Jing Ke, all alone?" Mashu's eyes sharpened. She instinctively wanted to dissuade him, but the words were on the tip of her tongue.

"To forcefully dissuade Jing Ke from doing so would be rude to him, given his resolve."

"I think this is a reasonable strategy, and it can also provide a diversion for your search for the Fuso tree."

"Ritsuka bit her lower lip and looked at her: "I'm worried about you."

"Worried?" Jing Ke said gently, "Expressing worry about me like this is like ordering Spartacus not to rebel."

"Jing Ke..." Ritsuka was speechless, unable to respond.

"I often wonder why someone like me would be chosen by the restraining force for the afterlife."

"In a time when everyone was acting in fear and self-preservation, I took action, disregarding life and death... That's why I was like that."

“But it’s precisely because no one is worried about me that I’m here today.”

“So, when dealing with a Heroic Spirit like me, the only thing you must not worry about is me.”

"Jing Ke just said so."

"But, I..." Ritsuka's anxious eyes said it all."

Jing Ke's eyes softened.

"I'm sorry, I did go too far. Forbidding you to worry about me is like forbidding Spartacus to 'rebel'."

"Then let me put it another way. Please forgive my willfulness."

“Now I have the opportunity to confront the First Emperor again… This thought has been lingering in my mind.”

"I am the one who attempted to assassinate the First Emperor during his lifetime but failed."

"When Xianyang reappeared before my eyes, I finally understood... In the end, I was still incredibly obsessed with this matter."

"So, please leave this mission to me."
