Chapter 704 [122] The Letter of Recommendation from Hell
After confirming that the intelligence department was relatively safe, with Tiger Chi leading a team to provide outer protection—
Qin Jiandan decided to go to the clinic to support Mu Yue.
Although Mu Yue had Han Tiancheng's help and the Night Dragon Society had a considerable number of guards, the matter was of great importance.
The clinic is Dr. Li's residence, and his master's hibernation pod is located underground.
Mu Yue, Dr. Li, and the hibernation pod.
Either way, it would be a loss that Qin Jiandan could not afford.
Before leaving, he harvested the time density of Wangyou and the 5 maids.
Quantum harvesting harvests the possibility of "the other party having children with you".
Therefore, harvesting pregnant women at the right time and density is not advisable, as it may harm the fetus.
Now that Wangyou has given birth to her child (Qin Jiandan), the time density stored in her possession can finally be realized.
And then there's Linlin, who has always been Qin Jiandan's most important source of energy.
As one of the earliest inhabitants, she had the highest efficiency in terms of harvesting time density.
Qin Jiandan was born completely naked, which Linlin accidentally saw. This directly increased the time density at which Qin Jiandan could harvest.
After a series of operations, Qin Jiandan's time density was restored from 21 to 30.
"Not very high, you can't use the self-destruct resurrection trick anymore once you're below level 80..."
"But it's better than nothing; at least it can be used to overwrite time three times!"
※※※
Mu Yue hung upside down from the beam of the clinic, the sights of her pistol tracking the green eyes of the mechanical ninja.
With each gunshot, a ninja was blown in the head.
Han Tiancheng emerged from the subspace rift, killed his enemies, and then disappeared into the purple-black particles.
In less than ten minutes, the father and daughter worked together to build up a pile of ninja corpses half a person high in front of the clinic.
The guards provided cover from the outer perimeter with submachine guns and tachometer rifles, but their main role was to prevent the ninjas from breaking into the infirmary.
The ones who truly reaped the rewards were Mu Yue and Han Tiancheng.
The ground suddenly shook.
Accompanied by heavy metallic footsteps, the T-019 emerged from the night fog. The shoulder-mounted machine guns atop its white armor opened fire fiercely.
Han Tiancheng did not dodge because Mu Yue was behind him.
At least six subspace windows, splitting open like mouths, swallowed all the incoming armor-piercing projectiles.
Han Tiancheng, who was using his superpowers at an excessive frequency, spat out a mouthful of blood, but this did not prevent him from disappearing into the purple-black particles and appearing behind T-019.
Three meters above the ground.
"Die, monster!"
He raised the Crimson Blade Crystal Energy Sword high, using all his strength. The sound of the sword cleaving through the armor was like prying open the shell of a giant steel clam.
The head armor of the T-019 was shattered.
Han Tiancheng landed, the tip of his sword pointing towards the ground.
He saw what was underneath the armor.
A young boy's face.
A face I've seen before.
Metal connectors were embedded in his forehead and temples, and his skin was as pale as if he had been soaking in water. His irises were dull, and his pupils were dilated.
His mouth was slightly open, his tongue touching his lower teeth, as if he wanted to say something but had forgotten how to make a sound.
The sword sliced into the boy's head from above, passed diagonally across his temple, and stopped above his cheekbone.
A quarter of the head, along with fragments of armor, was flipped open, exposing the cerebral cortex to the cold air, its grayish-white folds pulsating slightly.
The boy didn't cry out in pain, didn't frown, and didn't even blink.
He simply stared at Han Tiancheng with those dull, lifeless eyes, his expression blank, as if he had died many times over.
Han Tiancheng recognized him.
The bullring. Searchlights. A young man, half-covered in blood, stands atop the corpse of a mutated wolfhound, flexing his muscles to the audience.
"One day I will definitely participate in the Inner City Bullfighting Warriors Grand Prix! I also want to become a five-time champion and break the record!"
Those were the words the boy had said before I wrote the letter of recommendation.
A letter of recommendation to the Inspector General of Police...
Han Tiancheng's hand holding the sword began to tremble.
"You...you went to the police station...? I thought you didn't..."
The boy did not answer.
T-019 raised his right arm without the slightest hesitation. His cleaved brain was still throbbing in the air as he took a step forward.
The razor chain pierced Han Tiancheng's throat.
Han Tiancheng raised the Red Blade Crystal Energy Sword, but his movements were slightly slow.
A gunshot rang out.
A high-explosive bullet fired from the second floor of the medical facility, precisely hitting T-019 in the head. Fragments of blood and flesh splattered onto Han Tiancheng's trench coat.
Han Tiancheng finally reacted, thrusting his red-bladed crystal sword forward. The tip of the sword pierced through the white armor's breastplate, exposing the opponent's second brain.
The nearby guards concentrated their fire on the second brain, finally rendering T-019 unable to fire again.
Mu Yue leaped down from the beam, her boot heels landing silently. Her cat tail swayed gently behind her, the tip catching a speck of dust from the beam.
She walked to her father's side, without putting away her gun. She remained vigilant, using her superhuman vision.
"Dad, why are you hesitating?"
Han Tiancheng's true expression at this moment was probably far removed from the comical ghost mask. "I wrote him a letter of recommendation, recommending him to find a job at the police station."
Han Tiancheng's knuckles turned white as he gripped the sword.
“I’ve written recommendation letters for many people. I thought I could help them. I thought I was sending talent to the police department… but…”
Mu Yue interrupted her father's confession.
"The corporation is the source of all evil. The entire Ringstone City is ruled by the corporation, and in this evil structure, you are bound to encounter situations where good intentions lead to bad outcomes."
She paused, then gently turned her cat ears forward—there were still lingering sounds of mechanical ninjas over there.
"The battle is not over. Don't stop here... for all the victims."
A figure leaped out from the side of the clinic and quickly passed through the guards' line of defense.
Three mechanical ninjas tried to intercept them along the way, but were all slapped one by one, their chest armor flying off and machine oil spraying everywhere.
Qin Jiandan landed steadily in front of Mu Yue.
He first glanced at the bloodstains on Han Tiancheng's trench coat, then at the T-019 corpse on the ground, and finally turned his gaze to Mu Yue.
“I’m sorry, Jenny and her husband… I couldn’t protect them.”
Mu Yue shook her head gently, her eyes filled with a sigh.
“It’s not your fault. Jenny came to East City with us prepared to sacrifice herself. You almost didn’t make it back just now either—if it weren’t for your time-manipulation ability, you would have died in the Eco Tower from self-destruction.”
The alarm bracelet has communication capabilities; during combat, the intelligence department will acquire information and then disseminate it to relevant personnel.
Mu Yue thus learned the general situation on Qin Jiandan's side.
Qin Jiandan took a small snack bag out of the inside pocket of his shirt and stuffed it into Mu Yue's hand.
"I grabbed the dried fish from the monitoring room."
Mu Yue's cat ears slowly rose from their pressed-back position, the tips of her ears trembling slightly.
The battles and her pregnancy made her crave energy. And it's only natural that a catgirl likes dried fish.
There was no time to maintain her elegance. Mu Yue tore open the packaging with her teeth, shoved the dried fish and sauce inside into her mouth, and swallowed quickly. The whole process resembled a kitten guarding its food.
Han Tiancheng walked over and slapped Qin Jiandan on the shoulder.
"You little bastard! You wiped out five T units in one go!"
He deliberately raised his voice, as if trying to lift his spirits from his low mood.
"You dare to detonate your cultivation and then revive? You're really something else!"
Qin Jiandan smiled slightly, but his expression immediately turned serious again.
"Before I self-destructed, Ibash wanted to turn me into a comical ghost too. The thought of having that comical face afterward, and Muyue not letting me kiss her anymore, made me firmly refuse..."
Mu Yue narrowed her eyes.
"You're still telling jokes at a time like this?"
"I'm not joking, I'm very serious." Qin Jiandan's expression was indeed very serious. "Although I didn't accept Ibash's 'simplest and most ridiculous way to win,' he did reveal some information. At least ten Primordial-level Yin Beasts are moving towards headquarters."
As Qin Jiandan spoke, she handed Mu Yue a bag of snacks.
Mu Yue ate less quickly this time, squeezing out a small dried fish and putting it in her mouth. Her cat ears twitched slightly with the rhythm of her chewing.
"Mu Yue, we might need your 'Moonlight Justice' to deal with the Primordial-level Yin Beast. Father-in-law, please stay here and protect the clinic."
Han Tiancheng nodded, but there was still some doubt in his eyes.
"Ten giant Yin Beasts, Mu Yue can only take down one with one Moonlight Cannon... What about the other nine?"
Qin Jiandan placed his right hand on Mu Yue's lower back, indicating that he would do his best to protect his wife.
"There will always be a way. The Yin Beasts will approach from the direction of the Endless Desert, and they will pass through the Border Town Special Zone before reaching the headquarters."
"We try to choose the desert as the battlefield to avoid the Shadow Beasts causing damage to the Special Zone and headquarters."
"—You two pieces of trash!!"
That was the voice of Rhys, who, along with Jacks and Ram, had fought their way from the central garden.
Jacks and Ram followed on either side of her, keeping a good distance between them.
"After you've cleared out the small fry here, stay at headquarters and don't come over here and hold me back!"
"Who wants to talk to you—" Ram tried to retort, but was silenced by Jacks's gaze.
When the Night Dragon Society guards saw these three human meat grinders charging towards them, they made way for them. It wasn't that they didn't want to help; they were afraid of becoming collateral damage themselves.
A guard stood ramrod straight against the wall, only daring to catch his breath after Rui Shuang ran past.
Rui Shuang stopped in front of the clinic.
"Mom! Rui Shuang will fight alongside you!"
Qin Jiandan had just stuffed the dried fish into Mu Yue's hand when she heard the shout, so she stepped aside to make room.
Rui Shuang slipped under Qin Jiandan's arm and hugged Mu Yue's waist. She buried her face in the fabric of the police uniform's abdomen, rubbed against it, and then looked up.
"Dad! Grandpa! Are you alright?"
Qin Jiandan and Han Tiancheng both said they were perfectly fine. Mu Yue stretched out her arm towards the night sky.
Upon receiving the remote control command, the floating police car automatically rose from the parking lot behind the clinic, flew smoothly above the crowd, and hovered one meter above the ground.
The anti-gravity engine emitted a very faint hum, and the car doors opened automatically.
Mu Yue jumped into the driver's seat. Her movements were clean and swift.
Qin Jiandan tucked Rui Shuang under his arm, and with a light leap, jumped into the passenger seat.
Rui Shuang curled up on his lap, the back of her head against his collarbone, her knees pressing against his ribs.
The serrated dagger in her right hand was still dripping blood. She carefully turned the dagger to the outside to prevent the blood from dripping onto Qin Jiandan.
Han Tiancheng stood at the entrance of the clinic, gazing at the floating police car that was rapidly flying away.
"Fried Egg, if you fail to protect my daughter, I won't let you off the hook... and don't you dare die any more."
