Chapter 647: Chapter 628: Su Qianqian Collapsed! Is Tianming Saving Her or Harming Her?
It’s exactly as feared, the thing one dreads most has come to pass. Upon seeing the Rhein Guard label her a victim of cyber psychosis, Su Qianqian hurriedly began to speak in her own defense.
"No, that’s not it! You... you have to listen to my explanation... I didn’t mean to refuse to participate in the Mechanical Ascension Ceremony!"
"I... I was just accidentally late!"
"I ran into some trouble on the way... got delayed... and missed it. I’m really not suffering from cyber psychosis!"
However, the Rhein Guard didn’t believe Su Qianqian’s defense at all.
"Every patient of cyber psychosis says they’re not affected by cyber psychosis!"
"You used the same excuse to justify your refusal to participate in the Mechanical Ascension Ceremony the last two times!"
"Please cooperate with our work, Miss Su Qianqian. As the most famous opera singer in the Mechanical Divine Country, and indeed within the Rhein Alliance, we believe that as long as you cooperate with the treatment, you will be back on track!"
Seeing her pleas were in vain, Su Qianqian turned to try and flee.
She had no intention of being taken away for treatment!
Once deemed to have cyber psychosis, one would definitely undergo compulsory modification!
Although these Rhein Guards were of lower level than Su Qianqian, each of them wielded devices capable of restraining a Third Order God.
Three beams of light formed a triangular electron barrier at a speed even faster than Su Qianqian’s escape, trapping her instantly within it.
No matter how Su Qianqian bombarded it, it was all to no avail.
"Let me go! I... I’m really not afflicted with cyber psychosis!"
The commotion caused by Su Qianqian’s capture also attracted the attention of many nearby Mechanical Ascenders.
"Isn’t that Su Qianqian, the most famous opera singer in Rhein City? Why was she caught?"
"From what those Rhein Guards said, it seems like she refused to participate in the Mechanical Ascension Ceremony three times and has been designated as having cyber psychosis!"
"Cyber psychosis? That illness is really dangerous! It could lead to harm to those around at any moment. If she falls into being one of the Sinners in the Land of Fallen Sins, that would be even more terrifying! She always seemed so normal on stage, who would have thought she’s actually a potential victim of cyber psychosis!"
Listening to the discussions of the nearby bystanders, Su Qianqian became emotionally agitated and continued to assert her innocence.
"I’m not sick! I’m truly not sick! I... I was just late, you all must believe me!"
However, the more she tried to defend herself, the more others saw it as a guilty and shifty excuse, essentially digging herself deeper.
"Look... her mental state is starting to deteriorate! Su Qianqian... our big star is really a victim of cyber psychosis!"
Su Qianqian was on the brink of collapse.
And right now, she despised that little loli who wielded an Apocalypse Knight Gun.
If it weren’t for that little loli obstructing her participation in the Mechanical Ascension Ceremony three times, she would not have been labeled a potential cyber psychosis threat.
At this moment, she wished so much for someone to believe that what she said was true.
She didn’t know if it was her prayers that worked, but there were indeed voices at the scene asserting her innocence from cyber psychosis.
"I believe she’s not affected by cyber psychosis. You Rhein Guards are arresting people based too much on subjective speculation."
Looking in the direction of the voice, Lin Tianming’s figure once again entered Su Qianqian’s line of sight.
"It’s you, the fan who asked me for an autograph!"
Hearing Su Qianqian still considered him her fan, Lin Tianming didn’t take much notice.
He continued, "Just now I heard Miss Su Qianqian’s lament over missing the Mechanical Ascension Ceremony. Shouldn’t there be evidence to arrest someone?"
Ye Qingxue, who was arm-in-arm with Lin Tianming, also voiced her support for justice: "Exactly! Arresting someone without proper investigation is just bullying!"
The Thunder Dragon Emperor added, "Release her quickly!"
After staring at the three people defending Su Qianqian for a while, the leading Rhein Guard frowned and said: "Aren’t you Mechanical Ascenders of our Mechanical Divine Country?"
Just as the Thunder Dragon Emperor was about to open his mouth to speak, Lin Tianming took the lead, "Regardless of whether we are Mechanical Ascenders from the Mechanical Divine Country or not, it’s wrong for you to arrest people based solely on subjective speculation!"
During his speech, Lin Tianming placed one hand on the triangular electronic barrier.
The next instant, the triangular electronic barrier, which was strong enough to block attacks from Third-Order Gods, was easily shattered by Lin Tianming.
Su Qianqian’s beautiful eyes widened slowly, watching Lin Tianming with an incredulous expression.
Since the Mechanical Divine Country had entered the era of All-People Ascension, members of all major forces were equipped with at least weapons able to contend with Third-Order Gods for the convenience of law enforcement.
Lin Tianming had broken through the electronic barrier capable of trapping a Third-Order God so easily, which indicated he was at least at the Level Realm of a Fourth Order God.
And an exceptional Fourth Order God, no less!
While Su Qianqian was shocked, the Rhein Guards, on the other hand, were extremely angry.
"Even if you don’t say it, I can tell where you come from. That woman has an elfin facial structure, clearly a person from the Genetic God Country with a genetic evolution path towards Elves!"
"Now that the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms have unsealed and re-integrated into one world, our Mechanical Divine Country welcomes people from the Genetic God Country to visit, but obstructing our Rhein Guard’s law enforcement on the streets is too disrespectful to our Mechanical Divine Country!"
"Go, arrest these three people from the Genetic God Country!"
Seeing the Rhein Guards about to confront Lin Tianming, Su Qianqian naturally did not want him to get into trouble, as he had helped her.
"Be careful, these Rhein Guards are all equipped with weapons that can easily deal with Third-Order Gods. Even if you are a Fourth Order... Fourth Order... Fourth Order..."
Su Qianqian wanted to warn Lin Tianming to be cautious, but as Lin Tianming released a purple bolt of Thunder Light with a simple hand gesture, he easily destroyed the weapons of the Rhein Guards.
She was dumbfounded.
"So... so strong! Even a Fourth Order with combat capabilities far beyond its peers shouldn’t be able to do this, right? What... what Level God are you?"
"Just barely higher than Fourth Order."
Lin Tianming turned to Su Qianqian and gave her a slight smile, then looked again at the Rhein Guards.
"Do you still want to continue the fight?"
These Rhein Guards, deprived of their weapons from the Mechanical Divine Country capable of dealing with Third-Order Gods, were not even comparable to Su Qianqian.
They dared not continue the fierce battle with Lin Tianming and fled in disarray.
"Su Qianqian is not only cyber psychotic but also colluding with Genetic Ascenders from the Genetic God Country, disrupting the regular order of our Mechanical Divine Country!"
"We will certainly report everything that happened here to our superiors and request stronger Rhein Guards to take action!"
"Su Qianqian, even if you are an opera superstar, wait to be arrested!"
"And you few from the Genetic God Country, seducing our Mechanical Divine Country’s citizens to disrupt the Mechanical Divine Country with you, you will surely be sentenced to death!"
Listening to the escaping Rhein Guards’ remarks, Su Qianqian’s face turned pale.
"This is it! It’s all over now; we can’t clear our names!"
Lin Tianming watched the fleeing Rhein Guards who still dared to talk tough, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Golden Thunder Light fluttered, striking down the escapees at a speed even faster than their retreat.
Under the terrified gaze of everyone present, the Rhein Guards, not yet ascended to godhood, were blown to ashes without a trace left.
Having done all this, Lin Tianming turned to Su Qianqian with a smile.
"Now you don’t have to worry about them going back to report, Miss Qianqian. You’re safe."
Because Lin Tianming had killed the Rhein Guards, Su Qianqian looked even more troubled than before.
This was not saving her but rather harming her!
Her face sorrowful, she slumped to the ground, her legs giving out underneath her.
"It’s all over... completely over! Now, I’m not only going to be thought of as having cyber psychosis, but I’ll also be accused of colluding with the Genetic God Country to destroy the Mechanical Divine Country!"
