It was for this reason that Lorna Dane came to a conclusion.
No need to think, it's best to strike first!
The metal objects around Lorna Dane's body were controlled as if by an invisible hand, shooting like bullets towards Lu Chen's location.
Lu Chen: "…"
I'm just going home? Did I offend you?
Lu Chen clearly didn't know that someone had imagined some things.
He raised the knife in his hand, intending to strike at the object in front of him.
However, before he could fully bring it down, Lu Chen seemed to remember something. Ripples appeared in his palm, enveloping the knife in his hand and swallowing it.
The knife was put away!
He moved swiftly, dodging the metal objects flying towards him.
"Are you a Mutant too?"
A clear voice came from Lorna Dane's mouth.
The metal objects also stopped in mid-air!
"No!" Lu Chen stood on a metal dumpster and said.
"Good thing you're not!" Lorna Dane seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Chen: "…"
What do you mean?
Am I eating your family's rice, or what? Why do you dislike me so much?
As Lu Chen was thinking this, the metal objects in front of him changed direction and rushed towards Lu Chen's current location once again.
Lu Chen didn't bother to think too much. He moved swiftly again, lunging towards Lorna Dane.
Although Lu Chen didn't use all of his speed, he was still very fast.
However, Lorna Dane seemed to have already noticed Lu Chen. Some of the metal ornaments on her body quickly separated, blocking Lu Chen's path.
Lu Chen was also quite surprised.
However, thinking that he still had some metal objects on him, he looked down and saw some of his metal items trembling slightly, which made him feel relieved.
Lu Chen did not rush forward recklessly.
Under Lorna Dane's inexplicable gaze, he stopped, quickly raised his hand, and pushed out a bear-paw-shaped Impact.
The Impact quickly formed, passed through Lorna Dane's metal defense, and rushed towards Lorna Dane on the opposite side at an unknown speed, much faster than Lu Chen himself had been before.
This was not metal; Lorna Dane had no way to control it, nor could she sense it.
Although the Impact was straightforward, it was fast enough and sudden. By the time Lorna Dane saw the Impact and instinctively tried to block it, it was already too late.
Before the metal could weave a defense, it had already arrived in front of Lorna Dane.
Under Lorna Dane's horrified gaze, it slammed into her smooth forehead.
Impact exploded!
Lorna Dane's face was filled with horror, and her body flew backward uncontrollably.
After hitting the wall behind her, she fell down, her eyes rolled back, and then she completely fainted.
Lorna Dane's physical quality was just so-so. Being hit on the forehead by an Impact that Lu Chen had only slightly restrained, it would be strange if she didn't faint.
Perhaps, there might even be some sequelae.
However, it had nothing to do with Lu Chen!
Lu Chen glanced at Lorna Dane and walked towards his home again.
However, after only a few steps, he suddenly stopped again.
He looked back at Lorna Dane, who was lying on the ground, still with some horror in her expression but unconscious, and paused for a long time.
"This seems a bit wasteful, doesn't it?"
He mumbled, turned around, and walked towards Lorna Dane.
He walked up to her, pulled her up, and carried her over his shoulder before leaving again.
PS: I don't know what's wrong, but recently things have been really unlucky. Small things keep happening. Even making a picture can get stuck for two days. I just asked, and it hasn't even been made yet. I'm asking for some flowers, rewards, and other psychological comfort. I specifically added an extra chapter!
Chapter 12: Finding a Suitable Star
Lu Chen's apartment!
After returning to his apartment, Lu Chen was really busy, only finishing at six in the morning the next day.
Not only did he have to shower and change clothes to get rid of the smell of blood, but he also had to help Lorna Dane treat her wounds, change her clothes, check her body… cough, cough! Check her head.
After Lu Chen's examination, Lorna Dane's body was still alright, just a bit underdeveloped, possibly due to being hunted in the past and not eating or sleeping well. She needed to eat more papaya… cough, cough!
Her head was very lucky; the head itself didn't have any major problems. The bones weren't broken, and there were no cracks, just some concussion, almost reaching a moderate level.
Whether she would lose her memory and turn into a melodramatic Korean drama, that couldn't be guaranteed yet; it would have to wait until she woke up to confirm.
Lu Chen was not a god, and he didn't have too many external devices, so he couldn't fully check all of these.
After treating her injuries and putting a small item on Lorna Dane, Lu Chen glanced at the still unconscious Lorna Dane and entered the Knowledge Vault.
Some things could finally be resolved!
While Lu Chen was outside, the Knowledge Vault sent a message that Lu Chen had set up in advance: the Knowledge Vault had found a suitable star that could serve as an energy source!
There was finally hope!
…
Inside the encrypted Dark Dimension where the Knowledge Vault was located, Lu Chen's figure appeared.
In front of Lu Chen, the tree-like structure once again came into view. However, its appearance this time was also quite awkward; Lu Chen could barely see too many differences.
This was also the result of the re-deduction and insufficient energy!
