The crowd around him erupted like a kicked hornet's nest!
In an instant, everyone scattered in panic!
"Help!!!"
"Murder in the street!!!"
Someone up ahead stumbled and fell, only to be trampled by those behind them!
Screams and curses mingled into a chaotic din!
The few middle-aged women who had been cursing earlier hadn't gotten far. Now...
They were shrieking as they scrambled backward!
"Ahhhh!!!!"
The one with the curly hair even lost a shoe as she ran!
And the members of Dusk hidden among the crowd...
They stood scattered in place, frozen.
Their faces were filled with shock as they watched the scene unfold!
Unbelievable!
They simply couldn't believe Fang Qi had actually done this!
Fang Qi, at that moment, was staring up at the sky.
Blinking.
Yeah.
That head flying through the air...
It was so high.
Tsk tsk.
It was even flipping in midair.
Whoa, it spun several times!
The expression on that face was absolutely priceless!
From arrogance, to confusion, to shock...
And finally, to dazed bewilderment.
He was probably seeing... his own body still standing below?
That head's eyes were wide open, its lips still moving!
But it couldn't say a word anymore!
Its throat had been severed by Liguang's laser blade!
Severed metal wires, mixed with blood, were faintly sparking at the cut!
Fang Qi's gaze followed the semi-mechanical head as it descended...
"Thud."
It hit the ground.
It even bounced once on the dusty asphalt road, rolling half a turn...
Coming to a stop in a pool of blood.
That face was still staring up at the sky, eyes wide open, lips still trembling.
This head, incredibly, hadn't died yet!
Now Fang Qi was genuinely a bit surprised.
He had to admit...
The vitality of these half-machine humans was truly tenacious!
Mechanical ascension, huh...
Too bad.
He couldn't pull it off.
Uncle Fang Yi stood frozen in place.
His usually deep and calm eyes now had pupils trembling violently!
He looked at the head on the ground, still trying to speak, then slowly raised his gaze...
To Fang Qi, who was blinking as he observed the head on the ground.
"...Fang Qi..."
His voice was dry and hoarse.
"You...!"
"Master, watch out!!"
Xiaoyue's sharp cry rang out!
Snapping out of her shock, she lunged forward!
Her black dress swayed as she spread her arms, shielding Uncle behind her!
Those lazy, enchanting eyes now held not a trace of indolence!
Only the vigilance of facing a great threat!
She stared intently at the silver-haired girl beside Fang Qi, who was slowly retracting the laser blade from her fingertip...
Then she whirled her head to glare at Fang Qi!
Her lipsticked red lips were trembling!
"Have you lost your mind..."
She murmured...
"Even an AI companion can hold back..."
Looking at Fang Qi as if he were a true madman!
"But the master goes crazy first?!"
Her voice was forced through gritted teeth!
"Don't you think about the consequences at all...?!"
Unbelievable!
A fury that was barely contained!
But Fang Qi...
He didn't even care about what Xiaoyue was saying.
He was tilting his head, watching the female AI companion who had just lost her owner.
The beautiful woman who had been leaning on her owner's arm, her head resting on his shoulder, laughing as she insulted An Lian and mocked Fang Qi...
Now stood there in a daze.
Her arms were still frozen in the pose of holding her owner's arm, wrapped around it, but...
Her limbs had gone rigid.
And so, her owner...
No, the headless torso.
...Fell backward straight as a board.
"Bam."
A dull, heavy sound!
The torso crashed onto the asphalt!
Splattering a spray of blood and metal shards!
The woman stared blankly, her lips beginning to quiver violently.
Finally, she slowly, stiffly turned her head to look at that...
Head rolling in a pool of blood.
That face was still twitching slightly, its lips silently moving.
"...Master...?"
She murmured.
"Master...?"
"Mas...!"
"...Master!!!!!"
She rushed forward!
Throwing herself onto the ground, her hands trembling as she scooped up the head!
"Master!!"
Her shriek was shrill and piercing!
"Master, don't—!!!!"
Her sharp cry cut through the noise of the fleeing crowd, especially piercing!
"Master, look at me!"
"Master, look at me—!!!"
She hugged the head tightly to her chest!
Her cheek pressed against the still-twitching face!
"No, no... no, no, no...!"
Her eyes wide, tears streaming down wildly!
"Don't... don't, don't, don't!!!"
"Master, you can't—!"
She knelt in the pool of blood, clutching the head that was gradually losing its light!
"Master, you can't leave me like this, ahhhhhhh!!!"
Her whole body trembled violently!
"Master!! Master, ahhhhhhh!!!"
Fang Qi rubbed his forehead.
Alright, alright, stop shouting.
Your master might just come back to life.
Of course, if there's a next time...
Heh.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the panicked crowd fleeing in the distance.
He took a deep breath...
Then let it out with a shudder.
"Phew...!"
That felt good.
...Finally, a little relief.
Ever since An Lian was carried onto the stretcher, that lump of foul air stuck in his chest...
He had finally managed to spit it out!
They forced him to become a model citizen, huh!
But still...
This was more like it!
That's exactly how a rewind should be used!
Beside him, the silver-haired girl had already retracted her laser blade and stood quietly at his side.
Her shoulders, which had been tense, were now relaxed.
Data streams flowed faintly in her crimson eyes.
Fang Qi raised an eyebrow.
Because he noticed that his wife was pressing her lips tightly together, as if...
She was holding back a smile from curling at the corners of her mouth?
What's there to hold back!
So Fang Qi reached out, rubbing and tousling Liguang's head firmly!
Her silver hair was soft and silky.
His fingers even slipped through the bun she had tied, shaking it!
"See? Feel better now?"
He said with a smile.
The silver-haired girl immediately looked up at him.
A bright, obedient smile bloomed on her dainty face!
Then she nodded emphatically!
"I feel better, Master!"
Her voice was crisp and sweet!
"Thank you, Master!"
A few red splatters stained her fair cheeks.
Tsk.
Dirty stuff!
Fang Qi raised his hand, wiping his thumb across her cheek.
And then...
The warm blood left a faint red streak on her face.
Fang Qi: "...!"
He rubbed harder!
Liguang immediately squinted, pressing her face into his palm!
Rubbing hard too!
"You two...!"
A trembling voice sounded.
Fang Qi, still pinching Liguang's cheek, turned his head.
Uncle stood frozen in place, staring blankly at him.
Beside him, the black-dressed mature woman stood in front of Uncle, her face full of vigilance!
When she saw Fang Qi look over, her pupils contracted, and she shielded Uncle as she took another step back!
Seeing this, Fang Qi couldn't help but smile.
"Hey..."
He scratched his head.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
He pointed at the woman sitting on the ground, now stiff and dazed, and the head in her arms that had completely lost its vitality.
"Those two people disrespected you so much..."
A smirk curled at the corner of his mouth.
"I suppose this counts as helping Uncle clean up his family, doesn't it?"
Uncle stared at him in disbelief, the corner of his eye twitching.
Xiaoyue shielded Uncle and took another half step back.
"Lunatic!"
Those lazy black eyes went wide, and her voice trembled.
Uncle snapped out of it at that moment.
"Fang Qi, you...!"
His face was full of shock and fury.
"Do you even know what you're doing?!"
His voice was low and hoarse.
"With so many people here, you...?!"
It was like a muffled roar.
"Have you really...?!"
"M... Master..."
A trembling voice suddenly rang out.
It wasn't Liguang's voice.
The sound was soft, but it cut Uncle off mid-sentence.
Fang Qi rubbed Liguang's cheek again and glanced sideways.
It was the female AI companion who had been kneeling, holding her master's head.
She had now slowly risen to her feet.
The movement was slow.
Her knee scraped through the pool of blood, and she nearly fell again.
But her hands still clutched the head tightly.
Pressed firmly against her chest.
Tears kept streaming down her face.
But in her eyes...
The original grief and devastation were being gradually consumed by something.
Emptiness.
"... Master... Xiaosi is..."
"Going to... avenge you..."
She murmured, her voice as light as if she were talking to herself.
"Going to... going to..."
"Going to...!"
"Zzz—!"
The sound of her toes scraping against the ground.
Her slender figure suddenly lunged forward.
Rushing in at incredible speed.
Charging straight at Fang Qi!
"I'll avenge you—!!!!!"
Her scream was so shrill it almost tore through the air.
Her hollow eyes locked onto Fang Qi.
One hand still clutched the head tightly, while the other hand held—
A dagger.
The tip of the blade glinted coldly in the sunlight.
It was aimed directly at Fang Qi's heart.
"Die—!!!!!"
Her face had completely twisted.
As ferocious as a vengeful ghost.
But Fang Qi didn't even blink.
Because her blood-curdling scream, in the next instant...
Abruptly stopped.
"Whirr—!"
A flash of red light flickered past the back of her neck.
Her long hair at the nape was cut away, scattering in the air.
"Crackle—!!!"
Dense blue electric arcs exploded from the back of her neck.
And her movement...
Froze completely in that instant.
She remained in her lunging pose, the hand holding the dagger still extended, the tip of the blade...
Barely touching Fang Qi's chest.
Fang Qi didn't move.
He just looked at her calmly.
Her lips were still quivering, her vacant eyes staring straight at Fang Qi.
"... Die..."
She made a garbled sound from her throat.
"... Go accompany... Master... Die..."
Then...
The dagger in front of her chest slid down, along with her limp body.
"Clatter."
The dagger hit the ground.
The AI companion named Xiaosi also collapsed silently onto the ground.
The hair at the back of her neck had been cut into a neat gap.
Revealing the ruined core beneath.
It was still sizzling with blue electric sparks.
Fang Qi looked down at the woman on the ground.
Her arms were still clutching the lifeless head tightly.
Hmm.
Just moments ago, she had been mockingly insulting the deceased An Lian, sneering at him and Liguang, and spitefully echoing her master.
She deserved to die.
But now...
She also lay here, to avenge her master.
Fang Qi pursed his lips.
What to say...
Watching her die for her master, he did feel a slight pang of melancholy.
So this was Dusk's AI?
Able to taunt with her master, and also die with her master.
But...
He wouldn't envy that.
After all...
Fang Qi glanced sideways at the silver-haired girl beside him.
His madwoman was far better than them.
Then he raised an eyebrow slightly.
Because in Liguang's amber left eye, that streak of azure light had started flowing slowly again.
And the corners of her mouth had curled into that obedient smile once more.
"Her master's life..."
She murmured softly.
The crimson laser blade at her fingertip retracted with a soft hum.
"... Can only belong to Liguang."
She looked down at the silent AI companion on the ground, her smile still sickeningly sweet.
"Even if her master wanted to take it..."
A faint glint of red flashed in her crimson pupils.
"It must be by Liguang's hand."
"Others..."
She looked up at Fang Qi again.
"No."
Fang Qi blinked.
His wife was right.
Absolutely right...!
"... How is that possible?!"
A belated cry of shock came from Xiaoyue beside him.
Fang Qi looked up.
Xiaoyue was shielding Uncle while staring at Liguang, retreating several steps in a row.
She was almost pushing Uncle to the ground.
Her seductive face was full of undisguised shock.
"No...!"
She shook her head slowly.
"No, no!"
"Even if Xiaosi was emotional and off guard just now..."
Her tone was full of disbelief.
"There's no way she could breach..."
"The strongest physically protected area at the back of the neck!"
She stared at Liguang, her pupils trembling violently.
"What kind of laser blade do you have?!"
Her voice became shrill.
"Why could it pierce through that layer with one strike...?!"
"That's not an ordinary...!"
She froze mid-sentence.
Because Liguang just tilted her head slightly at her with a sweet smile.
In her left eye, that azure light was still pulsing steadily.
Deep within her amber pupil, countless streams of data were flowing slowly.
Xiaoyue stared at the azure gleam in Liguang's left eye, her shock deepening.
"Why...?!"
Her voice suddenly rose, trembling with incredulousness.
"You can use that power, yet..."
"You haven't gone mad?!"
"That's impossible! Every other...!"

"This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
