My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 399 - 341: Northern Territory, Never Forgotten

The little girl fell to the ground amid the trembles of countless eyes, the dull sound like a heavy hammer striking hard at everyone's heart.

Xia Li's gradually dim eyes were full of disbelief, reflecting Xu Xiaoyou's almost unhuman golden pupils, puzzled why the always gentle doctor would suddenly strike at her.

She clearly promised to go see the flowers blooming on the ruins together.

Strange, her body couldn't move.

So warm, clearly her own blood was flowing, why did it feel like being wrapped in warmth, was it because she could finally be liberated from this world?

Did the doctor do this because she could help him?

Being able to help the doctor one last time, that's wonderful...

The little girl's eyes, covered in fine scars, slowly closed, showing a blissful and warm smile, her dried dark red hair covering her increasingly cold body.

"Dr. Xu, what are you doing? This is not what we agreed on!" A law enforcement officer reacted, raising his gun and shouting.

Xu Xiaoyou wiped the blood off her face with her fingertips: "As you can see, now I'm the only one who possesses antibodies."

"Similarly, only I can develop the antidote and control the plague."

"This crazy woman, what exactly is she trying to do?" Another law enforcement officer gritted his teeth.

"Purifier." Xu Xiaoyou gently parted her lips.

"Doctor, should I clear them all?" A flash of red light passed in the Purifier's eyes, and the dropped heavy hammer was slowly lifted.

"Data calculation complete, I have a 1.27% chance of taking you away from here."

Upon hearing this, countless law enforcers quickly made a counter posture, and battle was imminent.

Unexpectedly, the next words from the blonde girl once again took everyone by surprise.

"Commit suicide."

The Purifier's body visibly stalled for a moment, then following the command, in the next instant, plunged its hand into its own chest, fiercely pulling out its mechanical heart, severing the thick bundled wires.

The Purifier, deprived of its power source, half-kneeling on the ground, guarded the blonde girl beneath him, appearing from afar like a broken statue.

Xu Xiaoyou gazed at the sunlight pouring in, her slanted figure appearing somewhat solitary, sighing lightly, she began to detach from the Oasis.

A bubble-like cocoon of light slid across her vision, consciousness rising continuously in the immersive ocean, surfacing.

...

Xu Xiaoyou removed the immersion device, a wave of dizziness came over her, however, with the experience from the previous two times, she quickly adapted to the discomfort of the consciousness sea shift this time.

Playtime was over, she was forcibly logged out of the Oasis, would likely have to wait till evening to return to the instance.

Glancing at the travel meter, unknowingly she had soaked in the Oasis for nearly two days, the Kuiniu Train was already nearing its destination, being anxious at this point was futile, just as well she planned to use this time to retrieve the reward Sebastian left for her at the Northern Territory bank.

Xu Xiaoyou grabbed her messy hair, the scenery outside the window speeding past, becoming blurred, the golden light outlining her contour increasingly clear, seeing her weary eyes, her lips curled into a faint, helpless smile.

Things always unfolded beyond her expectations.

She wasn't divine, nor a precise calculator, there was always something beyond her calculations.

Rather than having the Purifier fall back into the hands of the Tredy Commercial Alliance, being scrapped or having its underlying logic modified, it was better for her to personally command its self-termination, so she could summon it again through spiritual power.

Xu Xiaoyou turned her head, seeing that Chichu Chun had at some point also donned the Dream Wanderer, leaning back in the leather soft chair, a bit of biscuit crumbs remained at the corner of his mouth.

Noticing the girl's pained expression, something seemed off, Xu Xiaoyou's brow furrowed slightly.

She forcibly ejected the girl outside, watching Chichu Chun sit up in terror, chest heaving violently, looking around to see the scene within the carriage, confusedly touching the tip of his nose, discovering warm liquid flowing out.

Chichu Chun's eyes were bloodshot, breathing heavily, the whole person appearing very bewildered.

This was one of the symptoms of severe consciousness sea shift, Xu Xiaoyou took out a wet tissue and handed it to him.

Upon confirming he was back in reality, Chichu Chun relaxed with a sigh of relief, his chest not heaving so violently, wiping away the blood stains, for some reason, gazing at Xu Xiaoyou with a rather resentful look.

"Why are you looking at me like that, as if I slit you a knife," Xu Xiaoyou said nonchalantly.

The familiar scene made Chichu Chun open his mouth but couldn't say a word.

The two of them looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere fell into a strange stillness.

At that moment, a gentle female voice came through the speakers from an unknown corner of the ceiling.

"Ding dong, dear passengers of the Kuiniu Train, hello, the train will arrive at the station in three minutes. The next stop is 'Asgard'. Please follow the attendant's guidance to gather your luggage and disembark in an orderly manner."

Chichu Chun stood up in a huff, not saying a word since waking from her reverie, tiptoeing to reach her luggage on the rack, and noticed Xu Xiaoyou looking at her with a straight face.

"Can't reach." Xu Xiaoyou's tone was sincere. "Help me get mine too, thank you."

Leaving the platform, stepping onto the land of the Northern Territory, fog shrouded the world, with cold wind carrying ice crystals brushing past their legs. The crescent-shaped platform, the steel dome, the towering concrete columns, and the train passengers gradually disappeared in the gusts of snow and wind.

Faintly visible in the distance below the gray sky, a majestic sea-crossing bridge stood tall, with snow dust obscuring the view. The biting wind etched marks on the iron dome, like the rainbow bridge in Norse mythology connecting Asgard and Midgard, the nearly hundred-meter-high Triumphal Gate stood towering, with thousands of steel cables raising its body, like a giant watching over the wintery Northern Territory, magnificent and grand.

Xu Xiaoyou and Chichu Chun passed through the station, taking the capsule elevator upwards, and through the semi-transparent glass walls, they could just see the entire city below.

Asgard in the early morning was very tranquil, with imposing industrial buildings rising abruptly, hidden in swirling gray fog, monotonous yet powerful. The tall artificial pine forests slept beneath the vast snow, a business plane roared and landed on the plain against the steel peaks, and occasionally scattered lights lit up, like standing on a gray and white desert overlooking the plain, with civilization lighting campfires on the plain.

Leaving the capsule elevator, the bustling crowd passed by, and the two stood on the automatic moving staircase, dragging their luggage, with chain food or convenience stores flashing past in their peripheral vision. The ground they stood on was tiled with marble bricks, bright enough to reflect, and the tall glass dome and steel structure supported the backbone of this giant.

Chichu Chun walked on, realizing the young girl behind her was gone, and turned around to see Xu Xiaoyou standing in front of a brown sugar rice cake shop, staring at the glittering sign with her mouth slightly open, unable to be pulled away.

"I want to eat." Xu Xiaoyou pointed. "Buy it for me."

This small shop only accepted 'Lune' issued by the Northern Territory bank.

Chichu Chun's mouth twitched.

Arriving at the floating terminal, the two sat on the platform bench, with the stop sign behind them flashing a waiting yellow light at a fixed frequency amid the vast gray and white.

"I."

"Just now."

They both spoke at the same time, then turned their heads away silently. Chichu Chun stuffed her face back into her thick scarf, while Xu Xiaoyou took a bite of the rice cake soaked in brown sugar water, showing a peaceful expression, surprised to find her favorite food here.

"You speak first." Chichu Chun exhaled lightly.

"Weren't you supposed to help me check out the surroundings?" Xu Xiaoyou mumbled.

"It's easy for you to say that, I've been bored to death for two days." Chichu Chun complained.

"You're quite something, couldn't wait for the whole world to know the esteemed presence of the Dark Gold Rose lady has graced the Oasis, now the world forum is flooded with discussion posts about you."

"Oh, really?" Xu Xiaoyou asked indifferently, inadvertently, "What did you see?"

"Out of curiosity, you know, observed you a bit."

Chichu Chun recalled the scene where Xu Xiaoyou slit the throat of a girl named Xia Li, feeling an indescribable depression.

"Did you remember anything?" Xu Xiaoyou asked.

Chichu Chun fell silent,

At that moment, she did see a lot,

Many fragmented, unowned memories.

But upon waking up, she couldn't remember most of it, only managing to recall a few vague, bloody memory fragments.

She saw that seemingly many people surrounded her, she lay on a cold iron bed, with people around discussing something, the pale lights disorienting her vision, and the whole world spinning.

The kind of heart-palpitating fear is deeply etched in her mind, hard to wipe away even now.

A Land Air Vehicle slowly stopped in front of them, and the low whine of the horn disrupted the girl's thoughts.

"Those playmates of yours, do they leave a deep impression on you?" Xu Xiaoyou asked casually.

Chichu Chun did not understand why Xu Xiaoyou suddenly asked this, thought for a moment, and shook her head: "You mean Owl and the others, right? Just during the Dark Night Walker period, spent two or three months together, didn't contact much after disbanding."

Just as Xu Xiaoyou nodded and opened the car door, the girl's words sent a chill down her spine.

"Haha, after all, it was when I joined Dark Night Walker that I gave them the code names. Back then, I don't know why I thought of these names."
