Chapter 06: The Underworld: Raise Your Sword, Linshuang (Ch 06)

After hearing Huang Quan’s rebuttal, Lin Shuang didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
She stared at Huang Quan’s left hand. In Huang Quan’s eyes, he was just cooperating in a ritual to gain power.
To Huang Quan, it was just an ordinary encounter during his interstellar journey.
To put it bluntly, Lin Shuang didn’t think that his behavior today would make Huang Quan care about him so much.
Just from the plot I remember and those two PVs, Huang Quan should have been a more indifferent person.
Lin Shuang was a little confused about the deviation from her own psychological expectations. What kind of person is the real Huang Quan?
“Don’t worry, I will act carefully. I am not just curious, but the star core may really be helpful to me.”
“You want to use the power of the star core?”
Huang Quan frowned. She seemed to be getting to know the white-haired lady in front of her all over again, not knowing whether she was ignorant or arrogant.
“Do you really understand the dangers of star cores? All beings in the universe who try to use the power of star cores are heading towards self-destruction.”
“Even members of the Genius Club will only choose to suppress the star core and control it. If you really want to use the power of the star core, I will stop you.”
Huang Quan’s tone unconsciously became heavier. The aura brought by his experience and strength as an envoy, even if only a little bit was leaked, made Lin Shuang tense up.
Huang Quan noticed Lin Shuang’s reaction and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the extremely aggressive aura had subsided.
Lin Shuang also recovered while holding his chest.
Huang Quan looked at Lin Shuang’s appearance, somewhat puzzled by his own abnormality, and at the same time blamed himself for his previous behavior.
“I’m sorry, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Lin Shuang waved her hand. She was shocked by the power of the envoy, having only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.
The meaning of these two words is far more profound than I imagined.
However, compared to strength, Lin Shuang became more and more confused as to why he could make someone like Huang Quan show these emotions.
This shouldn’t be the case.
Or is it that Huang Quan’s personality is just like this?
The gaze towards Huang Quan gradually became subtle. Lin Shuang hesitated for a while but couldn’t help asking:
“Compared to this…Huang Quan, why would you want to stop me from touching the star core?”
I deliberately put the emphasis on the ‘I’.
“…”
Huang Quan pondered, she was traveling on the Milky Way, and she would lend a helping hand to those who were trekking on the river of nothingness.
But Lin Shuang is not walking in nothingness. And her desire for star cores is not just an ideal goal.
But Huang Quan could see that Lin Shuang was not a person who was destined to be together, and her eyes were by no means firm. She was like a lost lamb that had strayed into the deep sea.
The wrong people appeared in the wrong place, giving rise to the wrong curiosity.
The intersection of so many inconsistencies will cause Lin Shuang to return to nothingness.
“No reason.”
“ah?”
Lin Shuang was puzzled, but Huang Quan just replied calmly:
“In the galaxy, not everything needs a reason.”
Just looking at Lin Shuang’s beautiful blue pupils, every word Huang Quan said fell into Lin Shuang’s heart.
This was not a declaration of justice. Instead, behind this sentence, Lin Shuang vaguely felt a void as dead as death.
This feeling shocked Lin Shuang, but also gave rise to a sense of powerlessness.
When a person is extremely powerful and her actions have no reason or purpose, how can we make her give up her actions?
Lin Shuang felt a slight headache.
“Huang Quan, I don’t want to destroy myself. I also know the danger of the star core. I just want to make an attempt, a small attempt. If you feel something is wrong, you can stop me at any time.”
Lin Shuang didn’t expect Huang Quan to be so serious about his own affairs.
Or rather, Lin Shuang had never thought that Huang Quan would go to such lengths for her.
However, facing Lin Shuang’s explanation, Huang Quan just shook his head and placed the scabbard horizontally in front of Lin Shuang:
“That’s not the reason. Not only will you be besieged by the Rift Creatures and Antimatter Legion, but more importantly, you can’t resist the temptation of the Star Core.”
Things like star cores can give rise to the power to bewitch others, and there are many cases of this happening.
In Huang Quan’s eyes, Lin Shuang, who was like a lamb, would not be able to resist if he touched the core of the star now.
It’s not that Lin Shuang hasn’t thought about this, but she feels that she will only be in contact with it for a short while. If the storage card cannot be installed or the star core cannot be isolated, she will retreat.
It shouldn’t be enough time to be bewitched.
But after hearing what Huang Quan said, did I underestimate the power of the star core?
“Is there any way? I mean, a way to resist the power of the star core.”
Faced with Lin Shuang’s questioning, Huang Quan did not answer immediately, but instead raised his own question out of curiosity:
“Why do you have to touch the star core? You have just gained power, so it is important to master the power as soon as possible.”
Lin Shuang, who had no intention of hiding it, gave up the idea of ​​it being a toy version and explained to Huang Quan that his current strength was just that of a rootless duckweed.
If he could use the power of a sealing card to store the star core, perhaps he could solve his problem of lack of energy source.
“…After all, I am not a destiny walker, and I cannot draw strength from destiny, so I can only seek external forces.”
“Okay, I think I know.”
Huang Quan understood Lin Shuang’s reasons, but just as she said.
Contact with a star core is an extremely dangerous thing, not to mention that Lin Shuang was even bold enough to want to carry a star core and travel through the universe.
She didn’t know whether to say that she was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, or that she was fearless because of her ignorance.
Thinking so.
Huang Quan turned the scabbard and pointed it at Lin Shuang, then said:
“I understand why you want the star core, but the star core is too dangerous. Moreover, you even plan to carry it with you. Even if the card you mentioned can really seal it, how can you guarantee that it will never be damaged and lead to your own destruction?”
“So, even if I can help you get the star core, I still won’t do it.”
As he said this, Huang Quan’s scabbard turned and knocked on the sword in Lin Shuang’s hand.
“Raise your sword. I think you will still take risks after we part in the future. It would be better for me to sharpen your will now. At least… your will should be strong enough to last until I arrive.”
Clang——
As he spoke, Huang Quan’s sword was only slightly unsheathed.
However, as the sword rang, Huang Quan’s aura changed.
It was as if the calm sea was suddenly met with heavy rain and thunder.
The darkness under the abyss began to spread towards the sea surface, and the dangerous aura made Lin Shuang’s body instinctively become alert.
At this moment, Lin Shuang even felt that he had seen the other side, the veritable “Yellow Spring”.
“Thanks.”
