Chapter 293 - The Brave Slay the Dragon, The Brave Sacrifice

Following the original path, Chen Yu and BB returned to the exit of the spaceship and stood on the empty plain once again.

Looking into the distance, the moon in the night sky seemed to be brighter than usual.

“Sir, aren’t you going with that female human?”

“I have some things to do here.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Didn’t we agree that we would sweep the grave for CF?”

After saying that, Chen Yu opened the chest door of the mech, sat on it with BB in his arms, and started the engine.

“It’s still up to you to open it. Do you still remember the location where CF was buried last time?”

“I don’t remember.” BB’s hands flew like the wind as she brought up the mech’s system navigation records. “But I can use this mech’s logs to bring up the coordinates where it once stopped.”

“That’s good.”

“Found it!” BB pointed at a string of numbers in the virtual projection. “In Southeast Asia, Y6653; X85004.”

“Mm.” Chen Yu nodded. “Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

“…Stop, wait a moment!”

The tail of the mech had just spurted out flames when Chen Yu stopped BB from taking off. He pointed at a string of red numbers on the screen and asked, “Why is this row red?”

“Ah? This…” BB looked at the string of numbers seriously and frowned. “This means important coordinates. Sir, did you set it?”

“Why would I set it?”

“Then where did it come from?”

“Did you do it in the past? Didn’t you lose your memory?”

“That’s not right.” BB shook her head and pointed at the English letters at the end of the numbers. “Setting the marked coordinates requires authorization. This suffix is not my authorization.”

“Then…” Chen Yu pondered. “After we finish sweeping the grave for CF, we’ll go take a look at the coordinates. I feel that we’ll find something.”

“Yes.”

After the conversation, BB piloted the mecha and took off in the direction of Southeast Asia.

Hu hu —

The roar of the engine seemed to give BB a familiar feeling. She turned her head and looked at the burning jet hole at the tail of the mecha. Suddenly, she understood. “Oh! I understand!”

Chen Yu: “What do you understand now?”

“No wonder the position of the fire jet of the mech is also at the buttocks.” BB’s eyes were sparkling. “So it’s all based on the way humans move.”

Chen Yu: “…Don’t f*cking talk about this, okay?”

BB: “Okay.”

Rushing up to a height of 10,000 meters, the thin air allowed the mech to accelerate more leisurely.

“Sir Human, I remember that your body can withstand a very strong acceleration.”

“That’s right.” Chen Yu extended his hand to push the four auxiliary engines at the side. “Go!”

Boom! Boom!

Using all his kinetic energy, the mecha instantly turned into a shooting star, rubbing against the air and creating a scorching high temperature.

Beep! Beep!

(Resistance is increasing, please lower your speed.)

(Repeat, please slow down.)

“Don’t worry about it. Keep going.”

“Yes.”

Boom, boom, boom…

The fuselage was shaking like crazy.

Originally transparent helmet, but also gradually burning red flame.

Chen Yu: “Oh ~ Oh ~ Oh ~”

BB: “Human ~ Lord ~ Are ~ You ~ Fine ~”

Chen Yu: “It is the familiar feeling, this is the opening of the machine.”

BB said, “My Lord, a saber… a saber hilt.”

Chen Yu said, “Don’t use your mind to accelerate!”

Boom boom boom —

The waves behind, the people were leisurely.

It should be in a magnificent crown, wandering in the woods.

Or in a small boat, in the lake.

Or in a mecha, on the dome.

The horse treads on the swallow, as if it were walking on flat ground.

The wind moves as fast as lightning, leaping over rivers and rivers…

Speed.

Passion.

Collision.

Wonderful beyond words…

…

A few hours later, the mecha arrived at its destination.

They landed and opened the cabin. The two of them walked out and saw the small tomb in front of them at a glance.

Inside, the motherboard of CF was buried.

“Grass has grown,” BB said as she pointed at the tomb.

“Yeah.” Chen Yu nodded. “He didn’t drink the hundred herb dry either. It will definitely grow grass.”

“So when we sweep the tomb…” BB bent down and pulled out all the plants. “Is it pulling the grass?”

Chen Yu: “…”

“Ah, did I make a mistake?” BB held the grass in her hand and was stunned.

“…You didn’t make a mistake.” After a moment of silence, Chen Yu nodded and bent down to pull the grass. “When we sweep the tomb, we clean the grass and make it into a broom to sweep around.”

“Oh!” BB came to a realization and quickly followed behind Chen Yu to remove the grass.

Not long after, the vegetation around the grave had been cleared.

Chen Yu wove the grass leaves into two simple brooms and handed one to BB. “Sweep.”

“Mm-hmm.”

BB took it and swept it over the grave with a serious expression.

Chen Yu found a relatively clean place to sit down and lit a cigarette. As he smoked, he fanned himself with the broom. “BB.”

“Yes? Please speak, my Lord.”

“Actually, apart from sweeping the grave, there are some things I want to talk to you about. Ah… You don’t have to stop. Continue sweeping.”

“Yes, yes. Please speak.”

“Hu…”

Exhaling a wisp of smoke, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and organized his words. He said, “This world is going to be blocked soon.”

“Blocked?” BB stopped sweeping the grave and turned to look at Chen Yu. “What… What does blocking mean?”

“You know, I came from another… Well, let’s call it another world. I came from another world, and to get to this world, I need to pass through a passage.”

“Is that the spatial vortex we saw just now?”

“Yes.” Chen Yu nodded and flicked the ashes. “That vortex is going to disappear.”

“It… won’t open again?”

“It should be.” Chen Yu threw away the broom and said seriously, “This means that the two worlds will be completely isolated. How do you choose?”

Hearing that, BB was stunned.

“This is the home where you grew up. If you choose to go with me, you will never come back. If you choose to stay…”

“I will never see you again.”

“Yes.” Chen Yu took two puffs of smoke. “I have never treated you as a machine or a tool. You are a life with independent thoughts and also my friend. So I respect your choice.”

“…” BB was silent.

“There are still more than ten hours before the so-called timeline is sealed. You have enough time to think.” Chen Yu stood up and walked away. “I’ll go take a walk in the woods over there. You can think about it.”

“Sir.” BB raised her head.

“Yes.”

“BB doesn’t need to think about it.”

She walked over in small steps and held Chen Yu’s hand. “Apart from you, I have nothing. Apart from humans, Glory has nothing else to ask for.”

Flicking his cigarette butt, Chen Yu said in a deep voice, “Don’t decide so quickly. This is a matter of a lifetime. I’ll go for a walk.”

“BB has decided.”

“I suggest you reconsider. I’ll go for a walk.”

“There’s no need to consider.” BB shook her head.

Chen Yu: “I’ll go for a walk.”

“There’s no need!” BB’s gaze was firm.

“Go for a walk, just for a minute.”

“Not even a minute.”

Chen Yu: “…”

BB: “It’s decided!”

Chen Yu: “…Can you wait until later? I want to go over there to pee. Do you understand this time?”

BB: “…”

After blocking BB’s hand, Chen Yu went into the small forest and found a lush bush to settle his needs.

“Why do I feel uncomfortable?”

Squatting in the pit, Chen Yu frowned. “Too much water…”

Five minutes later.

He returned.

BB immediately came up to him. “Sir, you’re back.”

“Yes, have you thought about it?”

“Yes.” BB nodded heavily. “Sir, BB will go with you.”

“Alright, let’s go then. The second stop, go to the coordinates marked in red.”

“The grave, aren’t we going to sweep it anymore?”

“Sigh, since the person is already dead, they can just deal with it.”

The tomb: “…”

They boarded the mecha.

The two of them flew high into the sky, changed their direction, and sped towards the red marked coordinates.

Their destination this time was not far.

Under the high speed, they arrived in just half an hour.

Without waiting for them to land, Chen Yu made a discovery.

Below them was a small valley.

A small river passed through the ‘hall’.

A thin mist rose mysteriously, covering the inner world, giving it a mysterious air.

“Stop.” Chen Yu said, “Stop here.”

“Yes.”

BB operated the mech to slow down and slowly descend.

It landed in front of the valley.

Plop.

Jumping off the mech, Chen Yu carried BB on his back and entered the valley with a cautious expression.

In the valley, the most eye-catching thing was the small river.

The small river was green.

It did not have the turbulent waves of the big river.

It did not have the long history of the river.

It also did not have the majestic momentum of the waves.

It was just a dark green water, filled with a sense of tranquility and peace that could be heard at the touch of one’s hand.

On the surface of the water, there were a few snow-white birds that lightly brushed past, causing Chen Yu to feel a little dazed.

This was the first time he had seen a bird in this foreign land.

“So… So beautiful…” BB was in a daze.

From what she could remember, other than the blue sea, the earth on this planet was all withered and yellow.

She didn’t expect that there would be such a ‘colorful’ world in this nameless valley.

“Did your Glory Unit discover this place?” Chen Yu asked.

“I don’t know.” BB shook her head. “The unit I’m in charge of has never encountered this place before. But here…”

“Why?”

“Well…” BB frowned. “There’s a very comfortable and familiar aura.”

“How is it familiar?”

“I can’t tell.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Then there’s no need to say.” Chen Yu waved his hand and pulled out the sharp sword above BB’s head. He walked in step by step. “Go in and take a look. You’ll know.”

The deeper they went into the valley, the thinner the fog was.

When the two of them walked for about 200 meters, the humidity around them disappeared.

Instead, it was strangely dry.

“Sir… Sir! Look!”

After walking for a few hundred meters, BB suddenly shouted in shock.

“I see it.”

Chen Yu gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and his pupils constricted.

He saw a giant monument that was ten meters tall standing on an empty space in front of him!

The monument’s surface was covered by a thick layer of wind and sand.

However, it could not extinguish its mighty aura of ‘looking down from above.’

“What is this…” BB muttered to herself.

Chen Yu didn’t say anything. He held his sword and stepped forward, raising his head to size it up.

The only feeling he had was that it was big!

A mere ten-meter-tall monument actually gave him the illusion that it was a hundred meters tall.

“Is it because the monument is built in the valley, causing visual interference?”

While he was thinking, he reached out and wiped away the thick layer of dust on it, revealing a deep dent.

“Words?”

“There are words on it.”

With this thought in mind, Chen Yu decisively bent his knees and jumped high into the sky. He used his arm to press against the surface of the monument.

Hualala —

As he landed, layers of dust were ‘wiped’ down by him.

“There are words!” BB exclaimed, “Sir, it has words!”

“Mm.”

His feet landed on the ground. Chen Yu retreated, retreated, and then retreated again. He clearly saw the inscription carved on the surface of the giant monument.

[The brave slay the dragon, the brave sacrifice!]

[Gift — a true brave warrior.]

“The brave slay the dragon, the brave sacrifice?” BB tilted her head and looked at Chen Yu. “What does that mean?”

“The brave slay the dragon…” Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.

“My Lord, do you understand?”

“…”

Shaking his head, Chen Yu walked forward and carefully observed the giant monument. He circled it again and again.

Soon.

On the back of the giant monument, he found a groove-like design.

Chen Yu immediately reached out to pick it up, and sure enough, he found something inside.

It was a small box made of ceramic material!

The surface was smooth and extremely exquisite.

The size was not larger than an adult’s palm.

“Treasure chest!” The BB was pleasantly surprised and ran over with a skip. “Is it a treasure chest?”

“It should be.” Chen Yu licked his lips.

“Sir, hurry up and open it.”

“Okay.” Chen Yu nodded and used his fingers to exert some force.

Crack–

A small crack appeared on the ceramic chest.

“It’s opened?” BB was curious.

Chen Yu narrowed one of his eyes and looked inside the chest. “It’s opened, but it’s not completely opened.”

BB said, “Sir, can you see inside?”

Chen Yu: “I did, but I didn’t see it completely.”

BB: “…”

After checking for a while and confirming that there was no danger, Chen Yu opened the box completely.

Inside, there was only a letter made of a special material.

The letter was made of a material similar to waterproof paper. The texture was very thin. There were no signs of corrosion at all.

He raised his head and looked at BB. Chen Yu took out the letter and opened it…

The moment he saw the words clearly, his scalp instantly went numb.

His heart suddenly stopped.

All the hair on his body stood on end.

The cold fear swept through his entire body…

…

Time flew by like a white horse.

In the blink of an eye, it was daybreak.

The robot village at the bottom of the canyon started another day of work — a performance.

“Is everyone… here?”

On the podium, the robot village chief was jumping around with a plunger on his head. “Hurry… Hurry up. Everyone hurry up.”

“Coming.”

“Coming.”

“We’re… We’re here…”

More and more round robots appeared and surrounded the podium.

About twenty minutes later, all the people had arrived. The village chief stopped jumping, pulled out the plunger on its head, and said loudly, “Today, I… We still have to talk about the history of the gods. Let’s… Let’s start with yesterday’s history.”

Bzzz…

“Okay!”

“Long live the… gods.”

“Yesterday, the gods kicked me. It was… awesome, right…”

Bang! Bang!

The village chief used the plunger and hit itself hard twice. “Silence.”

The scene gradually calmed down.

“Today’s… prayer is different. With the artist describing it, the artist is here!”

After saying this, the little robot under the stage grabbed a piece of coal and staggered up to the podium. “Village… Village Chief, you can start… Now.”

“Okay.”

The village chief put the plunger back on top of its head and shook it. “In this world, there is a group of omniscient and omnipotent gods.”

“Yesterday, we… saw it.”

“The war in the divine realm has not ended yet, and the gods… The gods went to the battlefield…”

“The gods flew into the sky and killed all the demons. In the future… We are safe!”

“Safe!” The robots cheered.

“The gods… victory!”

“Victory!” The robots waved their hands.

While everyone was shouting, the little robot took the coal and began to draw on the ground.

It first drew a big circle that looked like a spaceship.

Then, under the circle, it drew a monkey with a tail in front.

On both sides of the monkey were a group of round robots.

“What is this?” The village chief lowered its head, puzzled.

“God… god saves humans.”

“Then what… what is this?” The village chief pointed at the monkey.

“God.”

“Like a monkey.”

“God is a monkey.”

“Then… God’s tail… why is it in front?”

“God’s tail is… in front.” The little machine said seriously, “I’ve seen it before, but… it’s very long.”

…

In the distance, above the canyon.

Chen Yu, who was about to leave, saw all of this. He was expressionless as he spat out a word from his throat. “F*ck.”

“Sir Human.” The BB on his back wanted to say something, but she stopped herself. “Then… What exactly is written on that letter?”

Chen Yu: “…F*ck.”
