Fate Trading System – Chapter 136

Plan A

Interstellar Guardian 21

End

Su Xin’s hands were loosely bound, she could still swing her arms.

Renee’s fingertips wandered carelessly, but her gaze was direct and passionate, with gentle obsession.

Su Xin has always been unwilling to show weakness, she quickly raised her hands above her head, the chain between the handcuffs stopping behind Renee’s neck, her legs also wrapped around Renee’s legs, the two of them in a confrontational state.

Renee didn’t expect Su Xin to react so quickly, being confined against Su Xin’s chest, in a dilemma.

“You…”

Renee’s voice was a bit muffled, pressed against Su Xin’s body.

Close-quarters combat starts without warning, without reason or rules, it’s about striking first and gaining the upper hand.

Renee initially controlled Su Xin, Su Xin quickly counterattacked and restrained her, but Renee’s hands could still cause trouble, nimbly playing on Su Xin’s back.

Renee is an excellent mecha warrior, with first-class control and reaction abilities. Her hand speed is very fast, but at this moment she deliberately slowed down, with a flirtatious meaning.

Restraint and madness, blurred into different colors.

This was Renee’s biggest game yet, the marks on Su Xin’s skin were the best proof.

“Let go.”

Su Xin shook her hand, Renee untied her.

Su Xin’s boldness and initiative this time exceeded Renee’s imagination, so when Su Xin handcuffed her hands, she suddenly realized.

“It’s my turn.”

Su Xin sat on Renee’s body, curled up her lips, lowered her body to gently bite Renee’s lips, smiling both naughtily and wickedly.

It was raining again on C1 Star, but Su Xin and Renee, who were in the Central Star, couldn’t see it. Outside the curtain-covered windows was an unchanging sunny day, filled with sunlight.

Ambiguity and haziness, moans of varying intensity intertwined into a hot crimson, adorning the corners of the eyes, rippling with charm.

Renee bent her graceful neck and planted a gentle kiss on Su Xin’s forehead.

After researching what Renee needed in the laboratory, Renee and Su Xin piloted a spaceship towards the headquarters of the insect beasts.

Renee’s worries and concerns weren’t unfounded; someone had reported something to her.

It was a restless and ambitious new noble, a failed presidential candidate who had been suppressed by Renee, but he came to tell Renee about a very important issue.

That person said the Queen had come to find him.

A tempting negotiation, the person maintained an outwardly interested appearance, but quickly reported this matter behind the scenes.

Although he really wanted to sit in the president’s position and greatly disliked Renee, it didn’t mean he would do something to betray the Federation and all of humanity. He could distinguish between the important and the trivial. The fact that the Queen had truly gained consciousness and could negotiate like humans was terrifying.

He didn’t deny that he was initially interested, but after calming down, he felt deep fear.

If the Queen really came in, would it still let him be president?

There was another chilling question: how did the Queen know his contact information?

He decided to throw everything to Renee and hide for a while.

Renee sat on the spaceship, showing Su Xin the weapon she had researched. It was a handgun that looked exceptionally exquisite.

“There’s only one energy bullet in here, it needs to hit the Queen’s head.”

“There’s only one chance.”

Renee put the gun in Su Xin’s hand, stroking her hair.

“It’s up to you, dear.”

Su Xin took the gun, looking up at Renee.

“What about you?”

“I’ll draw away those insects. Whether you hit or miss, after firing, run back the way we came. Someone will come to pick you up. I’ll leave from another side. We’ll split up.”

Renee spoke each word clearly, turning the bracelet on her hand.

“I should have done this, but I’d be affected by the Queen’s mental power, so I’ll go further away. Once you succeed, we’ll have accomplished our mission.”

Su Xin felt something was odd, but also felt like there was no problem.

“Okay.”

“When this is all over, go see our home. There’s a surprise I left for you there. You’ll have to discover it yourself.”

“Didn’t know you were so romantic, boss.”

Su Xin raised an eyebrow.

A desolate and lonely planet, inhabited by one terrifying creature after another.

Renee went first. She didn’t use a mecha and walked in broad daylight, looking very noticeable.

When they approached this planet, the Queen had already sensed their presence, or more accurately, sensed Renee’s presence.

Because of Fourteen, Su Xin could avoid the Queen’s tracking very well.

Su Xin and Renee made a gesture to each other, cheering each other on, then split up, heading in different directions.

What Su Xin needed to do was find the most suitable position, set up the gun, and make the final shot count.

Su Xin had done this kind of thing many times and was very skilled at it.

The sniping position was usually at a high point. Although Su Xin had blocked herself, the insect beasts could still see her, it didn’t mean invisibility.

The insects here were really too big, and Su Xin didn’t know the terrain here. For a moment, she couldn’t judge which insect to step on or which place would be the best choice.

The battle had already started over there.

Suddenly, a map of this planet appeared in Su Xin’s mind, with one flashing red dot being the most eye-catching.

Thank you so much, Master Fourteen! Cool!

【You’re welcome.】

Fourteen’s voice was still flat and mechanical. Actually, the designers had introduced humanized intelligent voices, but it didn’t accept them. In Fourteen’s view, it always maintained this special AI voice, which could well remind the host that she was on a mission.

Su Xin nimbly climbed to the most suitable position according to the prompt, aiming the gun at the Queen.

The Queen was not in insect form at this moment, but in the form of a human teenager. Su Xin put her eye close to the sniper scope and slowly pulled the trigger.

“Looks like our friend is really bold, let’s teach them a lesson, but don’t kill them.”

The Queen laughed as he instructed the male insects beside him. The male insects’ antennae swayed, indicating they understood.

Now’s the time.

The energy ball shot into the youth’s skull at a very fast speed. It didn’t penetrate but instead disappeared inside.

The sharp scream made one’s scalp tingle. The male insects surrounding the Queen immediately became alert, and all the insect beasts fell into a kind of inexplicable agitation.

The originally elegant youth turned into a huge insect crouching on the ground, letting out miserable cries.

Renee had already summoned her mecha and was fighting with dozens or hundreds of insects around her. Feeling the massive wave of mental power, she knew it had succeeded.

Su Xin ran towards the way they came, as Renee had told her. Those insect beasts had already seen her and were now constantly moving in her direction. It was thrilling.

No, wait…

Wasn’t that shot supposed to kill the Queen? But it didn’t.

A huge explosive sound came from behind. Su Xin stopped and ran continuously in that direction.

Damn it, what was Renee trying to do!

She didn’t tell her everything about the situation!

This person probably had already made up her mind from the beginning. Damn it.

【Host, hurry! Renee is in danger now. If she dies, your mission will fail.】

The first task was to protect Renee. If something happened to Renee before her, then what’s the point of playing? What was the purpose of staying here for so long if not for this moment?

Su Xin summoned her mecha and arrived at the scene as fast as possible, but she couldn’t get close.

Dense swarms of insect beasts surrounded them. One after another, explosive sounds mixed with piercing noises that seemed to penetrate eardrums, making people feel dizzy.

Su Xin finally saw clearly what Renee was doing. The Queen’s head was chopped off by Renee, but the Queen’s hand had also pierced through her belly, not to mention the wounds left on her body by the insect beasts.

The mecha form had long been forcibly cancelled. Renee saw Su Xin coming and shook her head.

The explosive sounds came from the insect beasts. One insect beast’s body exploded near Renee. Renee kicked the Queen away, the wound on her belly bleeding non-stop.

Su Xin joined the battle without hesitation; her mecha could still be used.

The Queen was dead, and the insect beast army became extremely crazy. Su Xin quickly scooped up Renee and ran wildly with her.

“Why didn’t you listen?”

There was only one mecha, but behind them was a dense army of out-of-control insect beasts. They only knew that their Queen or female beast had been killed, and they wanted to kill the mecha in front of them, capture it, and tear it to pieces.

The disparity in power made it seem like there was no chance of winning.

“You had planned this all along, didn’t you?”

Su Xin laughed angrily in the control room.

“There was a 10% chance… I couldn’t let anything happen to you, and you bear an even heavier responsibility.”

Although Renee was severely injured, her voice remained calm.

“You said you’d take me to see our home.”

“…Mm.”

The insect beast’s speed was really too fast, Su Xin knew she couldn’t run away.

【Host, the survival rate is zero.】

Ha, Su Xin never thought there’d be a day when she’d become a superhero, saving the world.

Master Fourteen, gather all the energy into speed, carry me out and throw her away.

Saving the world is something she can do alone.

“General, do you remember my first promise?”

“Protect you for life, until the end of my life, never leave or abandon you.”

Su Xin could already see the shape of the rescue spaceship, she threw the person in her hands out, then plunged into the pile of insect beasts, activating self-destruct mode.

“No!!!”

Lanna immediately dragged Renee away, but Renee broke free.

“Ge Wei!”

“Boss…”

“Get lost!”

Was her life destined to be so sad?

Her birth was originally a kind of accidental existence that shouldn’t have been, a dirty secret pregnancy, an unfaithful affair, youthful wandering, which taught her what it means to be ruthless. She originally thought her whole life would be spent in framing others and being framed, but heaven gave her a lover, and then took that person away.

If she didn’t come here, didn’t go to kill the Queen, then she would have lived safely, but there are no “ifs” in this world.

Renee never thought she was a good person; she knew she was a bad person, rotten to the core.

She made herself rigid, mask-like, hiding all emotions deep inside. Renee treated herself like a robot, cold-hearted.

She didn’t even know why she was alive, only that she had to keep climbing up, unwilling to die.

In this world, there were many people who said they loved her, but she didn’t believe any of them.

Emotions are just changeable things; whatever mountain vows and sea promises (a Chinese idiom meaning solemn vows), she didn’t need love, or family affection, or friendship, she only needed reverence and loyalty.

But someone forcefully entered her world, disrupting her original order, rushing in like an unpredictable point of light, also carrying a mysterious color.

Both willful and pitiable.

If Renee had to say what was good about Su Xin, she probably couldn’t list things one by one. The initial reason for her heart stirring was simply because there were no demands, no love, no hate, no worship, and no awe.

It was just that person’s sudden arrival in her dark world without a trace of light, making a promise not to leave her.

Self-destruct mode was no small matter; the more powerful one’s mental strength, the higher grade the mecha, the more powerful the effect of self-destruction.

Su Xin needn’t be mentioned; she felt like she had exploded into fireworks.

【Mission completed, returning to system space.】

Ge Wei gave Su Xin a military salute, then her expression became very melancholic.

“Actually, I think… uh… General, you should live on and benefit humanity.”

Ge Wei originally wanted to say that Renee would be better off dead, but she couldn’t bear to see her die. Watching someone you like die in front of you, especially because they saved you, that feeling is worse than dying yourself.

The insect beasts’ instincts sensed danger, making them feel fear amid the chaos of the Queen’s death, and they retreated very quickly.

Lanna took off his hat, silently bowed, and looked worriedly at Renee beside him.

Renee’s wound was still bleeding, but she seemed unaware of it.

Renee picked up the mecha button that had fallen to the ground; this mecha was completely destroyed.

Renee kissed the button, her voice very low.

I represent misfortune, have since I was little.

Perhaps you shouldn’t have come close, should have stayed away earlier.

My enemies hate me, and I loathe myself too.

Renee isn’t some selfless person, nor does she want to be a superhero saving the world, but this time she had to act, just out of responsibility.

Even if she’s cold-blooded, she still couldn’t watch humanity face danger right in front of her.

Human cheers echoed across every planet, hailing Renee as a hero. Renee quietly left, ignoring all pleas to stay.

Before leaving, she made a statement, correcting who the real hero was: Ge Wei.

Everyone only thought she had lost her subordinate, or lover, but no one knew what she had truly lost.

“Take you home.”

The castle on this planet has already been built, she uses it to hold her princess.

The surprise she originally promised was actually a mecha, it was Renee’s most perfect design. Renee originally thought, if she couldn’t come back, Su Xin could look at it as a memento.

She was so selfish, leaving her traces all over this castle, but she didn’t expect the person who came back wasn’t her princess, but her.

“Do you remember our initial promise? To protect you until the end of my life.”

Whenever Renee recalls these words, her heart feels like it’s being gripped, so painful she can’t breathe.

Her castle doesn’t have her princess, not even a corpse, only a lonely black button, and lonely.

“Still… can’t bear it.”

The sound of a breaking cup foreshadows something.

Planet explosion.

Since the princess is gone, what meaning does this castle have anymore.

What’s the point of living on.

Since she left, in this world, she no longer has any reason to be attached.

If she could do it all over again, she would still choose to brave fire and water for humanity, but she wouldn’t let that person throw her out again, she would hold her hand tightly no matter what.

【End】
