Chapter 359: In the Rain
In the Battle of the Citadel, the space station closed the petal-shaped guard area early. Therefore, throughout the war, although the Citadel Guardian Fleet was almost completely lost, the buildings inside the Citadel were protected by 70 meters of super armor, and except for the one that was demolished by a manic lady, the rest were almost unscathed.
However, it also responded to the sentence "It's a blessing and not a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided" -- seeing that the battle of the Divine Citadel was about to end victoriously -- the space station was opened, and the "overlord" Reaper who rushed out was hit head-on by countless warships, and it exploded on the spot!
Then the millions of battleship fragments generated after the destruction of the "Overlord" Reaper fell from a height of several kilometers, directly destroying nearly 40% of the buildings in the Citadel Ring area! Perhaps the only good thing is that the Circle's proximity to the heart of the galaxy - the Citadel Tower - is mainly inhabited by politicians from all over the world......
*****
In the overwhelming rain, countless people are braving the rain to clean up the disaster area...... In fact, the rescue of personnel is secondary, the main thing is to seize the time to rescue the fragments of the Reaper battleship! Everyone can see the strength of the Reaper battleship, which may be a warship that surpasses the current galaxy's highest level of warships by several generations. Such a warship undoubtedly represents the crystallization of countless cutting-edge technologies, and perhaps a piece of fragment can bring about a technological revolution.
The entire disaster relief work was in order, and the humans and the three major races, who temporarily dominated the situation in the Divine Fortress, silently divided the area of "picking up the rags". In the area of the four major races, there are huge craters smashed by large wreckage with a size of more than 100 meters. This is the main basis for the division. Then collect them separately for the time being, and concentrate on research in the future.
The entry and exit routes of several ships are clearly marked, and even the precipitation is carried out clockwise and in different areas. In order not to cause secondary damage. All large construction machinery is not allowed. The relief workers are all scientific researchers, who wear heavy armor – in addition to waterproofing and radiation, they can also act as humanoid cranes. Researchers can easily remove tons of building debris with their bare hands, but once they see something that resembles a synthetic, they must carefully pick it up like a child......
In such a busy scene, there were two people standing on the bridge on the side in disharmony, watching in a big way. But what's even more amazing is that. All the cars and people flying around in the rain turned a blind eye to them.
"What are you doing in the Shrine?! At this time...... You should be busy. The "main god" catalyst "held an umbrella and looked at the young man in front of him with an unhappy expression. He asked. Obviously, I just wanted to go out for a walk, but I met the person who added the most to myself, of course, it was very unpleasant.
"Before going to bed, come out and take a walk. By the way, find a place to engrave 'visit here'. Lao Lu pointed casually. Those four big characters are impressively engraved on the gate of the Divine Citadel Tower! Infuse the catalyst into smoke. Lu Yuan pretended not to see it, and he continued with a smile, "Looking back, I talked about traveling to the world of Mass Effect, but I never visited the Divine Castle...... will be questioned as being rural. Originally, when he saw the catalyst, he was also very angry - it would be the same for whoever was killed once. But when he found out that the catalyst was actually sulking, Lao Lu suddenly became happy.
"My territory, who allowed you to carve indiscriminately!" Catalyst said arrogantly. He lived in the castle for tens of millions of years. Said that the Divine Citadel was his...... That's right. And the Citadel Tower is like his home......
"Who said I was walking around? Speak nonsense and accuse you of slander. Lao Lu patted the handrail leisurely, making a "pop, pop" sound in the rain. "I've been sitting." The implication is that the term "indiscriminate lettering" is tacit.
Hearing Lu Yuan's mouth full of nonsense, the catalyst frowned and stopped talking.
In the pouring rain, the two people only stopped on the bridge and looked at each other calmly.
A person holds an umbrella and has an invisible air shield on his body, which keeps rain and moisture out of his body; The other sat in an old-fashioned wheelchair, without an umbrella or rain gear, and let the rain drench him. It's just that Lu Yuan has his own bearing, even if he is soaked, he doesn't look embarrassed. His comfort when he was in the rain made Catalyst feel the urge to throw away the umbrella even when he looked at it.
After a long time, the two of them suddenly laughed at the same time, and the tense atmosphere that had just been tense instantly disappeared.
"You came to the Divine Citadel secretly, aren't you afraid that I will forcibly leave you?" Catalyst asked curiously. At this moment today, when he stepped on this bridge, he actually ran into Lu Yuan from the opposite side. This really made him feel the wonder of fate, and he couldn't even get rid of it as the main god...... It put him in a good mood.
Lu Yuan shook his head calmly, "I believe you won't-because the catalyst I know is not such a bottomless person." ”
Catalyst doesn't look very old on the outside, like a junior high school student who is in a rebellious period. So after he heard Lu Yuan's words, he was not squeezed, but said curiously, "Actually...... I've been cheated by you so many times, and I also want to have no bottom line once. After finishing speaking, the catalyst stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan's side of the world...... Whether it's the wheels that are about to turn or the rain that is falling, they are all frozen in the air.
But after the catalyst did this, Lu Yuan seemed to have expected it, and there was no surprise on his face. He casually shifted into a comfortable position in his wheelchair, elbows propped up on his chin, and looked at the catalyst with amusement. Apparently the wheelchair was frozen, but he himself appeared completely unfettered. "I'm sorry, I'm just a projection right now."
Lao Lu smiled a little proudly, "In comparison, the lower limit is still lower." ”
"Damn it!" Catalyst cursed under his breath and withdrew his hand. "I don't want to see you again, goodbye!" The catalyst said coldly.
"Goodbye!" The rainwater that had accumulated when the space was frozen just now was all photographed like an iron plate at this time, and finally drenched Lu Yuan a little miserable. He could only scramble to straighten his hair, and at the same time casually waved towards the catalyst a few times, "You go quickly, it's never good to see you!" ”
Seeing that Lu Yuan broke the eight winds without moving, the catalyst seemed to have won a game, and asked with a smile, "Which direction are you heading?" ”
"I'm going east." Lu Yuan pointed in the direction he was originally going.
"Then I'll go west." Catalyst said.
The two of them passed by on the stormy bridge without looking back.
*****
"This time it's magic ...... again" The catalyst for crossing the bridge gradually lost the smile he had just faced.
Under Lu Yuan's magic, he has suffered several losses, either openly or secretly. In particular, Lu Yuan's magic ritual to create the underworld greatly exceeded the catalyst's expectations, making the catalyst feel a deep headache! If it weren't for the fact that he still had a backhand, I am afraid that he would have lost the opportunity in the competition in this world. "It seems that magic is also a profound science, and my previous views were too narrow...... Do your research...... Wrong! ”
Catalyst suddenly stopped, "I was deceived again, he wasn't a projection just now!" ”
How can the projection get wet in the rain?! Why do you need to fix your hair?! "Damn it!" Catalyst gritted his teeth and turned abruptly...... But on the empty bridge, only the dense rain like an arrow is still falling, where is the shadow of Lu Yuan?!
"You wait, I'll catch you one day!" With the catalyst's understanding of Lu Yuan, once he is out of sight, he will choose the shortest route and retreat immediately! It's almost a minute now, and he's probably going to leave the Divine Castle! The catalyst could only drop a sentence in hatred and leave angrily.
Under the Bridge...... Lu Yuan grabbed the wheelchair and held his breath in the narrow space directly below the bridge deck, only a line away from the surging river. He didn't move, he didn't breathe, and even the temperature was lowered to the same level as the bridge. Except for sticking to the bottom of the bridge with a gecko swimming wall, his whole body was completely transformed into a stone.
For a long time, until it was confirmed that the catalyst had left. Lu Yuancai let out a long sigh of relief and dispersed the strength on his body. Let yourself fall into the river with your wheelchair and drift away with the waves.
How did he know that he could meet the catalyst head-on! He didn't even know how he got to the Shrine! Moreover, he is a paraplegic in a high position, and his martial arts, magic, and heavenly power are scattered! If it weren't for some bizarre ability to manipulate the world, he would even be arrested as a homeless man by the C-Sec police.
You must know that Lu Yuan entered the cultivation cabin consciously, and then took the initiative to fall asleep - so when he opened his eyes and found that he was in the Divine Castle, Lu Yuan always thought that he was dreaming until he collided with the catalyst head-on......

PS2: The plot of meeting in the rain was actually guessed by a book friend...... It's tangled, but it's still written. (To be continued......)
