Chapter 92: Searching for Tina

Aibrune ran along the path Su Xiao Zi had taken Tina.
Tina didn’t have a strong aura, so finding her was quite difficult.

However, perhaps due to good luck, he finally spotted Tina under the moonlight.
She was sitting on the ground in the corridor of a small church, leaning against the wall.

Tina’s eyes were vacant.
Her hands clutched her injured legs, and her brows were tightly furrowed, seemingly from the pain.

She was not a robot in the absolute sense.
Her nerves and brain were genuinely human, capable of feeling pain.
And at times, she would even display human emotions that a true robot would never show.

For example, her love for ice cream was not something forcibly set by a program command.
Rather, it was something Tina grew to like after tasting it.

To Su Xiao Zi, Tina was never labeled as a humanoid weapon or a robot.
In her eyes, little Tina was just little Tina.
She was a living, breathing person!

From the end of the corridor, Aibrune saw the lonely figure of Tina in the moonlight.
Her petite silhouette looked small and pitiful in the dark surroundings.

‘No… Big Sister Xiao Zi was captured, by the enemy, by a powerful enemy I’ve never encountered before…’
‘Tina couldn’t even fight back for a single moment…’

‘I must go save Big Sister Xiao Zi.’
‘Tina had already made up her mind to protect her at all costs…’

[Battle Damage Rate Exceeds Limit. Unit Unable to Move.]

However, this warning echoed incessantly in Tina’s mind.

Her legs were no longer able to move, nor could she activate her thrusters to levitate.
Besides, in her current state, aside from chasing after them and activating her self-destruct sequence, she had no ability to contend with the enemy.

And in the worst-case scenario, Sheffield was so powerful that Tina’s self-destruction might not even be able to harm him in the slightest.

Clack, clack, clack.

Tina’s movements suddenly stopped.
She heard the sound of someone’s footsteps gradually approaching.

The church was quiet, and Aibrune’s footsteps echoed throughout the corridor, the sound reflecting continuously, creating a ripple-like echo.

Tina quickly raised her head and used her night-vision scanner to scan the person gradually emerging from the darkness.
All indicators showed that this was not an ally, but a Bloodkin!

And of all times, it had to be now.

Just as little Tina was about to pull a pistol from behind her back to defend herself, Aibrune appeared before her in a flash.
He knelt down and pressed down on the hand Tina was using to draw her gun.

He said in an extremely gentle voice:

“Don’t be afraid, I’m not here to hurt you.”
“I’m not your enemy; on the contrary, I want to help you with something.”

In his tone, the usual perversion and vulgarity had completely vanished.
He had transformed into a genuinely warm and caring man.
Unfortunately, Tina was not a young girl experiencing her first blush of love; she was just a humanoid weapon devoid of emotion.
She couldn’t comprehend this sentiment and only analyzed the intent behind his words with rational data.

“Enemy.”
“Engaging combat alert status.”
“Tina will fight the enemy with all remaining strength.”

“Wait, wait, wait!”
“We should have met before.”
“Think carefully, we met once in high school, and once in elementary school.”
“That bastard who was bullying you has already been sent to hell by me, so you don’t have to be afraid anymore.”

Seeing that Tina was about to enter combat mode, Aibrune hastily waved his hands, trying to stop her actions.

Tina frowned.
She of course remembered Aibrune; after all, he was an enemy she had fought before.
At this moment, she was naturally treating him as an enemy.

As expected, Aibrune’s words had no effect.
Tina still quickly raised her pistol and, with a bang, fired a shot.
