I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

While working, Chu Chu gossiped:

"Brother, Chu Chu has always been puzzled as to why the mermaid sister suddenly changed her mind and wanted to become a virtual streamer. What triggered this?"

"Kids shouldn't pry into adults' business. Why do you care what kind of trauma she suffered? She's just trying to create a new track for bizarre re-employment in the internet age."

Lin Yan laughed it off.

Of course, he couldn't tell Chu Chu the truth.

The mermaid sensed the power of faith through Ah Feng's corpse and prepared to harvest faith with a massive amount of traffic, forcibly sprinting for a half-step advancement.

The two bizarre characters are constantly bickering. If Chu Chu knew the other was about to upgrade, she would definitely dare to go over and unplug their power.

This matter is also beneficial to Lin Yan.

After all, a ghost marriage contract requires the other party to have authority in order to be concluded, and only those who have achieved a half-step advancement are qualified to obtain authority.

"It's connected."

Chu Chu used Lin Yan's phone to connect with the mermaid through a matchmaking group.

"You're quite quick," the mermaid's voice rang out.

"That songstress's account, we've made progress so quickly?"

"We've got a good idea of ​​what to do, and it's not a small project, but something unexpected has happened."

Lin Yan leaned back on the sofa and recounted in detail how the Star Path Guild stole the audio, created a derivative work, and then widely disseminated it, causing harm to netizens and ultimately pinning the blame on the mermaid.

The entire process is factual and objective, without exaggeration; it simply presents the facts.

Even so, for the mermaid striving for advancement, this was like pulling an arrow over her head, and then asking her for toilet paper afterward.

With a crack, the humidifier's water tank couldn't withstand the pressure and broke open.

"very good."

The mermaid was so angry that she laughed instead.

"Not only did they taint my voice, but they also dared to sever the causal link between my advancement and my very essence, using it as a tool for them to harvest sacrifices?"

"Give me the coordinates. I want them all dead, everyone must die!"

In her rage, she disregarded the consequences, completely forgetting about her promotion, and only wanted to slaughter the city to vent her anger.

"Mermaid Sister, calm down. The location is in the city center. If you do this, the provincial authorities will come and uproot your sewers the next day."

Just as the mermaid was about to explode, Lin Yan calmly said:

"This whole thing started because of me. Although those people borrowed your audio, their goal was to do something shady."

"Since I took on this job to help you, if they dare to sabotage you and make things difficult for you, it's a slap in my face."

"This lowlife doesn't deserve your personal presence to soil your hands!"

Lin Yan was filled with murderous intent at this moment, looking like he was very angry and that the consequences would be severe.

"I'll clean them for you tonight."

Although the mermaid was angry, her old-fashioned and bizarre experiences quickly calmed her down.

She knew Lin Yan was right. At this crucial juncture for promotion, doing this was absolutely the most foolish choice, bringing no benefit other than venting her anger.

And the human being in front of us, who is both capable and knows his place, is indeed the best proxy.

This kid has a rather endearing way of speaking.

"You're quite thoughtful." The mermaid's anger subsided slightly.

"But I saw the information Chu Chu sent; that's the stronghold of that bizarre worshipper. What do you plan to do?"

"I don't want anyone else to know about this."

This was the mermaid's concern; even if it had something to do with promotion, she didn't want others to know.

"So I'm just asking my sister for help." Lin Yan immediately put on a fawning smile.

"The pearl you gave me in the air-raid shelter last time was completely useless. You have no idea how terrible things got for me afterwards."

"I'm going to stand up for you this late at night, but what if those guys have set up some trap? Wouldn't I just be throwing my life away?"

"Isn't your Saya always clinging to you? What, her authority isn't working anymore?" The mermaid snorted, her tone inexplicably sour.

"That's something I've been saving for a life-saving mission, I can't just use it casually." Lin Yan smoothly avoided the trap of the Shura Field, and then casually flattered the mermaid.

"Besides, this is to help you with something, sister. Using someone else's help would be overstepping your bounds and diminishing your prestige, wouldn't it?"

These words hit the mermaid's sweet spot perfectly.

Yes, when my people are sent to do things for me, of course I have to use my power.

The mermaid was quiet for a while, then suddenly a drop of water floated out of the kitchen.

Ajiu, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, stood up and blocked Lin Yan's way after seeing the water droplets.

"This is a wisp of essence that I extracted from the rules of the deep waters."

Lin Yan ruffled A Jiu's hair to indicate that she was safe, and then reached out to catch the water droplets.

The moment the water droplet touched the skin, a trident rune immediately appeared on the wrist.

"It will allow you to be protected by my rules."

"It can also be activated once on its own. Once triggered, even if there is no water source around, it can fill the lungs of all living things within a 50-meter radius with sewage."

The mermaid reverted to her usual aloofness.

"Go, don't let me down."

The living room temperature returned to normal, the surrounding moisture gradually dissipated, and the mermaid left.

Lin Yan touched the rune on his wrist and wiped away his sweat.

Before the mermaid appeared this time, he wasn't sure he could persuade her to stay.

Unexpectedly, not only did it extinguish the mermaid's anger, but it also allowed them to obtain a mermaid's rune for free.

……

It's 11:30 p.m.

In the center of Jiangcheng City, at the foot of a luxury office building.

This is the Xingtu Interactive Entertainment Guild headquarters that Chuchu located.

Lin Yan, wearing a blue delivery worker's vest and carrying a delivery box, walked into the lobby.

Lin Yan was somewhat surprised that there were no security guards here.

He went straight into the elevator; the company was on the twelfth floor.

"elder brother."

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Chu Chu connected to Lin Yan's earpiece.

"The situation is not good."

"I was trying to hack into the security system on the twelfth floor, but my probe burned out as soon as I made contact with the physical gateway on that floor."

"Those people laid down the Spirit-Suppressing Lacquer on the twelfth floor."

Lin Yan frowned: "Absolute Spirit Lacquer?"

"Yes, it's a physical paint extracted from the ashes of demons. They used it to paint the walls, floors, and even the ceiling."

"This coating is extremely sensitive; it's like a powder keg, and the only fuse is regular fluctuations."

"Brother, these people are too insidious. They know that what they are doing is likely to anger some unspeakable beings, so they simply set up a trap to kill each other at this outer stronghold!"

"On the twelfth floor, if you activate the Death Pact mark, or use the rune the mermaid sister gave you..."

"The Spirit-Slaying Lacquer will ignite instantly upon sensing any fluctuations in the rules, and will explode within seconds!"

Lin Yan's confident smile froze on his face.

There's such a thing?

Careless.

Who would have thought that such an outpost would resort to such a suicidal tactic for the security of its main base?
