Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

Actually, Lin Yu is quite a proud and arrogant guy.

After school, Shana stood alone on the school rooftop, watching Lin Yu and Yoshida Kazumi walk away, her face filled with annoyance.

"So you actually wanted to go?" Alastor, like Shana's father, could see through her thoughts: "Why did you refuse?"

"I just don't want to go, that's all!"

Shana spoke with such conviction that it seemed to her to convince herself, but within just ten minutes she revealed her true colors.

"Damn it, I should have gone with you!"

On the building opposite the art museum, Shana unconsciously tightened her grip on the railing, actually breaking the metal railing in half.

"It's all that guy's fault! Why did he have to go to an art exhibition?"

Feeling angry, Shana shifted all the blame onto Lin Yu, who unknowingly took the fall.

However, even if Lin Yu knew, he wouldn't care too much, as he was currently busy dealing with his first date.

That's right! It's just a perfunctory approach!

As a pure and innocent virgin at heart, he was at a loss after just one date with a female classmate. His super high IQ was like a supercomputer connected to a low-speed internet connection; no matter how good the hardware was, it would still lag terribly.

"Hey Lin Yu, shall we go look at some other exhibits?"

Yoshida Kazumi said cautiously to Lin Yu, "I've been staring at a vase for quite a while now."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Lin Yu looked very serious, and the hairs on his arms stood on end, as if he was quite frightened.

Heaven is my witness, Lin Yu felt like he wanted to die at this moment. He, who was always fearless and even dared to use Xia Na as a body pillow, was actually scared like this during an ordinary date. It was an utter disgrace!

After taking two deep breaths, Lin Yu forced down his nervousness and appeared normal, giving Yoshida Kazumi an apologetic smile.

"Let's go check out other locations."

Seeing that Lin Yu had suddenly become normal, Yoshida Kazumi was a little uncomfortable. She nodded with a slightly flushed face and walked side by side with Lin Yu to other exhibition areas.

"There are quite a lot of different kinds of vases here."

Although he was a little uncomfortable at first, he has now adjusted and focused his attention on the exhibits.

Speaking of which, focusing on exhibits while on a date with a school beauty like Yoshida Kazumi is actually a waste of time. You should be using this opportunity to build up your relationship with her!

Unfortunately, Lin Yu had already made up his mind not to develop a deep relationship with her, thus wasting such a good opportunity.

"Hmm, I heard they also display colored glass products inside, let's go take a look."

In a way, Yoshida Kazumi wasn't much better than Lin Yu. Although she took the initiative to extend the invitation, she, like Lin Yu, really focused her attention on the exhibits. Luckily, she was indeed a beautiful girl, and she didn't need to take the initiative to have a lot of suitors. If she were a little more ordinary, she might have lived a lonely life.

"Really? Let's go take a look!"

Gradually recovering from his initial awkwardness and shyness, Lin Yu discovered that the legendary date wasn't anything special after all. It turns out that fairy tales are all lies; he had thought it was as wonderful as described in the books.

Once Lin Yu was free, he fully unleashed his talkative nature, chatting and laughing with Yoshida Kazumi along the way, finally creating a dating atmosphere. However, all of this suddenly changed when they arrived at a rest area.

"Torch? It really is everywhere!"

Among the group of women, Lin Yu noticed the pale blue flame inside one of them. He frowned slightly. Each torch represented a life that had been quietly extinguished without anyone noticing, and this feeling was truly unsettling.

Just as Lin Yu was feeling troubled by this, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.

"It's gone out?! How could that be!"

Lin Yu suddenly widened his eyes. He was no longer a novice who had just arrived in this world. He clearly understood that although the flame inside the woman's body was weak, it was enough to last for several days. However, the flame suddenly went out before his eyes!

Instinctively scanning his surroundings, Lin Yu noticed the flame burning in an old man's palm reflected in his suddenly contracting pupils.

"A member of the Crimson World!"

Cold sweat instantly soaked Lin Yu's back...

[So many people want to go to the Dark Bullet World to pick up lolis, so here you go! The exact number is yet to be determined, but it should be in the first 3 worlds →_→ Shouldn't we give some rewards and recommendations?]

023. Crisis

"A member of the Crimson World? Or Phosphorus?"

Lin Yu's expression instantly turned serious. He wasn't sure if Shana was near the art museum. He wasn't confident he could fight alone, especially with Yoshida Kazumi by his side.

"If it's just phosphorus, it's barely tolerable, but if it's Crimson Denizens..."

Lin Yu was self-aware enough. Although he possessed the powerful ability of Ice Flame, he was far from being able to control it at will. Moreover, the Eye of Calamity, which he had exchanged for at a discount, had not yet been awakened. Right now, he would have a hard time even against the weakest Crimson World Disciple.

Although he knew it was useless, Lin Yu still subconsciously shielded Yoshida Kazumi behind him, while he himself stood ready for battle.

"Oh? You can see it?" The old man was obviously a little surprised, but that was all. Dressed in a suit, he looked like an old gentleman, with a kind smile on his face. But Lin Yu had recently witnessed the old man swallowing the torch.

"I see, it's Mysteria!"

The old man easily revealed Lin Yu's identity, but did not show the hostility he expected.

"Don't worry, I absolutely hate recklessly disrupting the world's balance, so I don't plan to take you with me. Let's talk?"

Although it was a question, the old man didn't wait for Lin Yu's answer and turned to walk away into the deserted direction, leaving Lin Yu frowning and Yoshida Kazumi full of doubt.

"Is that so? I don't think there's anything to talk about with a Crimson World who has just 'eaten'."

Although the old man did not show any hostility, Lin Yu would not joke about his own life and Yoshida Kazumi's safety. During this time, he clearly understood that the so-called Crimson World Disciples were a bunch of lunatics. Who knew if this seemingly kind old gentleman would take advantage of his momentary lapse in vigilance to make a move.

Even so, Lin Yu still gestured for Yoshida Kazumi to stay put, while he followed her. In any case, it was always best to keep this Crimson World member with an unclear stance away from her.

Seeing that Lin Yu's wariness had not lessened, the old man did not press the matter further.

"It seems you have some misunderstanding about me."

The old man didn't seem to mind Lin Yu's sarcasm. Instead, he took the initiative to explain, "Young lady over there, may I speak with him alone?"

The old man turned his gaze to Yoshida Kazumi, who was being protected by Lin Yu not far away, just like a true gentleman.

"Ah, um."

Yoshida Kazumi was surprised that the topic had suddenly shifted to her. She paused for a moment before nodding somewhat flusteredly.

After walking with Lin Yu to a secluded corner, the old man finally spoke: "I don't eat people. Just like my name 'Rami the Corpse Collector,' I am a corpse collector, which means I only eat torches. And as you can see, the ones I eat are so weak that they are almost gone."

"I don't know why you're telling me this, but what does it have to do with me?"

Although Lin Yu is indeed a homebody, his past experiences have made him exceptionally vigilant and he won't be easily led by the nose; he's more likely to lead others.

"It really has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to know who the Flame Haze next to you is."

Without any beating around the bush, the old man was so frank that even Lin Yu was secretly astonished. However, the questions the old man raised made Lin Yu even more wary.

"Although it's not a secret, it seems very disadvantageous to just tell the enemy this information, doesn't it?"

Lin Yu stared intently at the old man who called himself 'Rami the Corpse Collector', but the old man's expression remained unchanged throughout.

"Okay, you win, I said it."

Lin Yu's expression relaxed, and he helplessly shrugged. He was pretty much convinced that this 'corpse-collecting Rami' was indeed different from those Crimson World thugs and Flame Haze warriors who had taken gunpowder; his temper was unbelievably good.

"If the 'Elegy Singer' were as good-natured as you, Shana wouldn't have had to fight her."

Lin Yu's seemingly unintentional sigh revealed the name of the 'Elegy Singer'. She was a Flame Haze warrior who was sworn to fight the Crimson World to the death, and with her powerful strength, he originally thought he could make this calm old man change his expression, but he was disappointed.

"There's no need to test them; the person who sang the eulogy came to this city because they were following me."

Lin Yu's little scheme did not escape Rami's notice, but this old man, whom Lin Yu had labeled as a good-natured person, really didn't have a temper at all, which made Lin Yu feel like he was punching thin air.

“Okay, I’ll confess. The Flame Haze next to me is ‘Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed,’ or I think she’s also called ‘Nie-dono Shana’s Flame Haze.’”

Lin Yu never expected that the old man, who had always appeared calmer than the Emperor of Calm, would suddenly change his expression after hearing the words "Flame Hair Burning Eyes".

"What! The one with you is the Heavenly Calamity Flame—Alastor!"

Rami's expression turned serious almost instantly, but it didn't feel like he had encountered an enemy; rather, it was more like he had received some kind of surprise.

"You know him?" Lin Yu asked instinctively.

"Pretty much. If it's a Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer, then a useless battle can be avoided."

Rami's words greatly reduced Lin Yu's wariness, because he knew very well that Shana was not a Flame Haze like the Elegy Chanter who was hostile to all Crimson Denizens. If Rami was really acquainted with Alastor and was not considered an enemy by him, it proved that he was indeed harmless.

"In that case, I'll tell you something."

After learning that the person next to Lin Yu was 'Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed', Rami's attitude towards him changed drastically. Although it was not obvious, Lin Yu could feel the fundamental change.

"The Hunter, Furiagre, is planning something extremely dangerous. If he succeeds, the city will be destroyed. It's a plan called 'The City Eater'!"

"Will the city be destroyed?"

Lin Yu frowned. He knew very well that although it would be difficult for a Crimson World King to do this, it was by no means impossible.

"Everything will disappear, you and everything related to you, everything will disappear!"

"'The City Devourer' will devour everything in this city and transform it into a massive force of existence. If you don't want this to happen, do what you can."

Lin Yu nodded slightly, not because he completely believed Rami's words, but because the two little ones on his shoulders, who had been unusually quiet, started making a fuss.

"Ding! You have a new task. Please check it!"

"Mission Two: Assist Shana in killing the Hunter, Friagra.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, hurry up and go fight him! Believe in yourself, you can do it!"

Alaya flew around in front of Lin Yu with a "I'm rooting for you!" look on its face, while Gaia leaned close to Lin Yu's ear and kept repeating the mission details, as if afraid he hadn't heard clearly. Heaven knows who pressed the switch again to make these two little guys switch from stillness to motion in a second.

Just a second ago they were sitting quietly on Lin Yu's shoulders, swinging their toes like literary girls, but now they've switched to crazy mode.

"Sorry, Yoshida-san, I have something to do later. Let me see you to your car first. We can meet up again next time."

Lin Yu, barely suppressing the urge to kill the two little bastards, grabbed Yoshida Kazumi's hand with a dark face. The little girl's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment, and her brain almost shut down. In a daze, she was led away by Lin Yu, who ignored Rami's presence. He wouldn't be so thick-skinned as to let his friend (?) be with a Crimson World who devours human beings, not even if he was just picking up corpses!

After forcibly putting Yoshida Kazumi into the car and repeatedly promising to make up for the date, Lin Yu ran off to find Shana. He didn't have time to wait around anymore; even just getting more familiar with the power of the Ice Flame would be good.

Lin Yu, ignoring the two little ones, did not notice the solemn expressions on their faces.

"The difficulty has been increased."

"As expected, they were still up to no good in the dark."

"Let's take it one step at a time. We're better off without greenhouse flowers that can't even withstand the slightest storm."

Hopefully, he can surprise us.

The two seemingly innocent little ones were communicating silently...
