Original God, if I am beaten by them, I will become stronger

Chapter 16 Are you impersonating me?

Before leaving Mulou Teahouse, Lin Qiu took out the wanted poster that looked like a piece of waste paper, tore it into pieces and complained:

"It's the shogunate's job to catch the counterfeiters, but they are so lazy that they haven't made any progress. I wonder who is in charge of this job."

Linghua next to him thought for a moment and replied, "As far as I know, the incidents related to counterfeit goods seem to be the responsibility of the Tenryo Bugyo Yingsi family."

"After this is over, I'm going to ask the Yingsi family for a bounty as a reward for helping to catch the person." Lin Qiu said with a teasing tone.

"That's exactly what we should do. Mr. Lin is both a great hero and a victim in this matter." Linghua opened her fan to cover her mouth and chuckled as she agreed, "In addition to the remuneration, we should also claim compensation for mental damages. That's the only way to make sense."

"That's a good idea, but let's wait until I catch the culprit and then we can discuss this matter slowly." Lin Qiu pushed open the main door of the teahouse and left.

"I wish you good luck in military affairs." Linghua said softly as she watched his back as he left.

outdoor.

The cold wind blew through the streets of Inazuma Castle at night, and Lin Qiu was still thinking about the shogunate.

First of all, there was no crime of stealing the imperial meal on the wanted warrant. It was likely that Sara did not report it that day, but asked the chef to make a new portion, or there was originally more than one portion of the imperial meal.

Doing so would prevent the castle tower guards Okuji from being severely punished for dereliction of duty - there were not many people who could stop Linqiu, so it was understandable that they failed. The final outcome was probably that Saara went to the general alone to plead guilty and was forgiven.

Lin Qiu sighed: Yasasi's Tengu.

Back to the real business of the impostor and being wanted.

After all, the Takagi family is an assistant to the Kujo family, the Tenryo Bugyo. Recently, the Kujo family has been busy with war affairs on the front line and has no time to deal with the matter of the "evil bandit Hayashiqiu", so the task of dealing with the "bandit problem" in the city was handed over to the Takagi family, and there is no problem so far.

The main problem is that since the Takagi family is an assistant to the Kujo family, and the entire family is considered to be the second in command of the Tenryo Bugyo, it is impossible for them to be so inefficient.

The more Lin Qiu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

(Hey, what are you daydreaming about? I've located the location of the fabric fragments. There's a warehouse-like building in a remote area of ​​Hanamizaka. The counterfeit is lurking nearby.)

"I see. I remember that place. It was the warehouse of the International Chamber of Commerce in Hanamizaka."

"I heard that the International Chamber of Commerce recently purchased a batch of high-quality pearls, and the counterfeiters must have set their sights on this batch. According to that guy's style, if I don't take action, the outcome tonight will probably be that the goods will be robbed, the warehouse will be burned, and all the guards will die on the job."

If the counterfeiters succeed, I will be blamed even more heavily. I cannot hesitate any longer and must strike hard!

As soon as he finished speaking, he followed Miss M's instructions and ran quickly towards the warehouse.

……

Hanamizaka, the warehouse of the International Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, few people went out during this time period. In addition, the warehouse was located in a remote area and passers-by rarely passed by, making the surrounding environment look very desolate.

There was a spacious open space in front of the warehouse door. A sturdy guard with a samurai sword hanging on his waist was patrolling the designated route, yawning and wiping his eyes from time to time.

Suddenly, the guard heard footsteps and immediately became alert and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw that the other person was dressed as a night walker, with his face covered and covered in black clothes and black cloth.

However, there was an obvious small piece of fabric missing from the other person's clothes at the shoulder, as if someone had torn it hard.

The man in black was carrying a long spear on his back. Under the moonlight, the cold light flashing from the tip of the spear was particularly dazzling.

The experienced guard noticed something was wrong and directly pressed the hilt of the knife, warning according to the rules: "This is a restricted area of ​​the warehouse, no one is allowed to approach, leave immediately!"

The man in black continued to approach the guard, ignoring the stern words of warning, while reaching out to grab the dangerous-looking spear behind him.

This action made the guard's vigilance soar to the limit. He drew his sword without hesitation, but unexpectedly, a cold light flashed in front of him, and his sword was knocked away with a clang.

In the blink of an eye, the guards were disarmed by the spear wielded by the man in black - fast, accurate, ruthless and extremely fierce.

The guard stood there in a daze, not daring to move. He had been in this line of work for more than ten years, but this was the first time that someone had knocked his weapon away with one move. It was like a dream.

With a clang, the flying sword fell to the ground, and the crisp sound brought the guard back to reality.

This guy is so strong!

The man in black stopped attacking and lowered his voice, saying happily: "I will take away the jewels of the International Chamber of Commerce and burn this warehouse to ashes, but I will not kill you. I will only cripple your limbs so that you can live to tell others how powerful I, Ronin Lin Qiu, am!"

"You, you bastard, you robbed, set fire and injured people. Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by Tianling Fengxing?" The guard mustered up his courage and warned dutifully.

“Being hunted by the Tianling Fengxing? Haha, I’ve been hunted for a long time!” The man in black was very arrogant. “I’m Lin Qiu, I won’t change my name, I…”

Pop, pop, pop.

Before the man in black could finish his words, continuous applause came from not far away, interrupting his speech of introducing himself. The man in black and the guards looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.

A handsome young man in blue clothes approached the two of them while clapping.

"What a coincidence, isn't it? My name is also Lin Qiu." The young man stared at the man in black and took out a piece of black cloth and shook it. "This piece of cloth was dropped when you did evil the day before yesterday. You are impersonating me and putting the blame on me?"

Lin Qiu threw the scraps of cloth in front of the man in black.

Logically speaking, the angriest person on the field at this moment should be Lin Qiu who was framed, but unexpectedly, the masked man in black was even angrier than Lin Qiu, so much so that he was shaking all over.

"Are you Lin Qiu?!" The man in black clenched his spear.

"Yes, I am. Aren't you?" Lin Qiu spread his hands and replied with a sarcastic smile.

Then Lin Qiu made a precise analysis based on what he had just seen: "The spear technique you used to disarm the guards was the Kitain spear technique, right? Strange, this is the unified spear technique of the long-handled weapons of the Inazuma shogunate army. How could a fake bandit use the shogunate's spear technique?"

Suddenly, the man in black disappeared from the spot, and then he appeared in front of Lin Qiu, taking the initiative and thrusting the sharp tip of his gun straight into Lin Qiu's face, without mercy!

Lin Qiu had no intention of summoning his sealed magic spear.

There are two reasons.

First, it costs 10 ore to get items from the system warehouse, and Lin Qiu had just used up all the ore by upgrading his agility.

Secondly, even if the magic spear has been sealed, the counterfeit in front of him is still not worthy for Lin Qiu to use it.

The tip of the counterfeit's gun was about to hit him, but the next moment, the weapon he was holding tightly disappeared without a trace. He was shocked to find that the weapon had been transferred to Lin Qiu's hand at some point.

To snatch the gun with bare hands, Lin Qiu did not even activate his inherent time control. He just relied on his normal speed to snatch the weapon just when the opponent's attack was about to hit him.

Not only the man in black was stunned, the guards' world views were refreshed again and they stood there trembling.

Crack! Lin Qiu broke the captured gun with his knee and threw it aside like trash.

He hooked his index finger at the counterfeit: "What other tricks do you have? Use them all."

Chapter 17 Capturing the Impostor

Due to the rumors about the "evil thief Hayashigao", even the bustling Hanamizaka becomes quiet and deserted late at night, which has a great impact on shops such as izakaya.

In the roadside pub, the drunk Manye and his friend A were still lying on the table.

The wine glasses and the plates of mapo tofu covered with red oil on the table had all been taken away by the pub owner. Because Lin Qiu gave him extra money, the owner did not wake up the two drunkards.

They slept like this until a little white cat named Kushimaru couldn't bear to be lonely, so he crawled along the trouser leg to the collar of his owner and patted friend A's cheek with the pads of his folded paws.

Under the effect of the chain cat-and-cat punches, Friend A finally regained some consciousness. In a daze, the Eye of Thor hidden in his clothes began to glow.

Ushimaru knew that his master was going to release him, so he used the "quick awakening technique" that he usually used when he woke up early. He quickly broke away from the collar of his friend A and jumped onto the wine table to avoid being affected.

Friend A's palm flashed purple light, and electric arcs formed by weak lightning elements kept jumping. Then he lost consciousness and suddenly pressed his electrified hand to his face.

These actions were all done subconsciously by Manye's friend. Normally, he would get up early to practice his swordsmanship, but could not resist the urge to stay in bed, so he used this method to "motivate" himself and ensure a wave of discharge, so that any thoughts of being sleepy would disappear.

Because the subconscious deep in his mind kept reminding him that there were things he had not done, at this moment, the sleeping friend A used the Eye of God to initiate electrotherapy.

The young man who received the electric shock on his face was quick-witted and immediately stood up from his chair. Cats and cats at the table were no longer surprising.

The young man with messy hair and pigtails looked around and found that the other customers in the pub had long disappeared and the "bounty hunter" had also left.

A warrior's metabolism is much stronger than that of an ordinary person. He has been sleeping on the table until now. The drunkenness is almost gone and he gradually recalls the mission of catching the evil thief.

The middle-aged man tugged at Manye's collar, trying to wake him up: "My friend, do not be greedy for rest. Tonight is our stage. The peace of Inazuma Castle depends on this. Follow me and go to conquer the cunning villain Ronin Linqiu!"

Fengyuan Manye didn't move.

"My friend, I didn't want to use this trick, but time is of the essence... I'm sorry!"

A faint electric arc appeared on friend A's palm again.

"Resurrection, my dear friend!"

Just like joking with friends in winter by stuffing their cold palms into the back collar, friend A directly stuffed his hands into the back collar of Manye, giving the ultimate enjoyment.

The next moment, Wan Ye, like his friend A just now, suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Tonight, we will kill all the evil spirits!" said the friend firmly.

Wan Ye, who was awakened by the shock, didn't react at all. He stood there thinking for a few seconds, and finally remembered what he wanted to do in the first place. He followed his friend to the door.

My head is clear now. Although my mouth is a little spicy, it won't hinder my capture of the villain.

Friend A, who arrived at the door first, stuffed the cat into his arms and pushed open the main door of the izakaya.

……

The man in black is running and the man in black is in great pain.

A few minutes ago, his spear was taken away from him, and he still had two wakizashi and a dagger on his body.

The man in black took out a wakizashi and tried to sneak attack Lin Qiu, but it turned out to be just as he expected. Lin Qiu only knew how to snatch the spear but not the sword, so he failed to snatch the wakizashi.

However, Lin Qiu dodged the sneak attack easily and picked up the broken gun that was broken into two pieces on the ground. The half-broken gun did not affect Lin Qiu's use at all, and he knocked the counterfeit wakizashi away in a blink of an eye.

The man in black realized the difference in strength and suppressed his anger and tried to escape. However, he was familiar with the terrain of Hanamizaka and ran away even though his lungs were about to explode, but he still couldn't get rid of Lin Qiu.

The truth is that Lin Qiu deliberately let the impostor in black escape, and chased him at a distance of 30 meters, no more, no less, and it has been 30 meters from the beginning to now.

The reason was simple, he felt that something was fishy and wanted to play the long game to catch a bigger fish, to see if he could follow the impostor in black all the way to their lair.

If he could really break into the lair, he would activate his inherent time control at four times the speed, transforming into a gust of colorful wind and knocking down all the relevant people in the blink of an eye.

Keeping a distance of 30 meters is to make the counterfeit confident that he can escape, so as to avoid turning around and fighting to the death with you, which would make it inconvenient to follow the clues.

With his "warrior-level" speed, he only needs to use his legs at the speed of jogging to catch up with the impostor who is running at full speed. Despite this, Lin Qiu performed very enthusiastically.

When the fake looked back at him while running away, he deliberately acted like he was out of breath.

Lin Qiu: I can’t chase you anymore, you can’t escape, just run back to your nest like this!

fun!

Just then, an accident happened.

The counterfeit was running at full speed, and when he passed by a izakaya, the main door of the shop suddenly opened, and the young man who was going out bumped into the counterfeit.

The impostor quickly pulled out a second wakizashi and placed it around the young man's neck, holding him hostage.

Lin Qiu finally understood that this guy was running around not to return to his hometown, but to capture a hostage to threaten him.

Under normal circumstances, the moment the impostor tried to take hostages, Lin Qiu would activate time acceleration and knock him down before the guy touched the hostages.

But when he saw the hostage's face clearly, Lin Qiu realized that he didn't need to do anything now.

The hostage randomly picked by the black-clad counterfeit was Manye's friend who had just left the store.

Since I have already gotten the middle school boy drunk, I might as well give him a “head” as compensation.

Manye, who was still in the store, saw this scene and thought that he was still drunk and was hallucinating: Inazuma Castle is at least the capital, and although there is the evil thief Lin Qiu, the law and order should not be so bad that he would be held hostage by a strange guy as soon as he left the house, right? !

Among the people present, Lin Qiu, who was watching the show, was not nervous; Manye, who was watching the show up close, was okay; Friend A, who was experiencing it up close, was very calm; and the most nervous person turned out to be the impostor who was the hostage-taker. He was making up lines to try to communicate with Lin Qiu.

Before the counterfeit could try to threaten Lin Qiu, Shuaiwan, who was hiding in friend A's clothes, suddenly jumped out and clawed at the guy's eyes, causing him to lose his composure for a moment.

Friend A reacted quickly and did not miss this excellent opportunity. He grabbed the opponent's knife-holding hand with one hand, and at the same time, released an electric arc with the other hand, pressing the counterfeit's chin to make him dizzy.

Then, the friend threw the counterfeit to the ground with a beautiful shoulder throw.

Jujitsu is one of the essential skills for warriors.

Unexpectedly, the impostor was still awake. He took out an emergency dagger and prepared to launch a sneak attack on his nearest friend A.

"Time alter—square accel!" (Quadruple the inherent time control speed)

The next second, Lin Qiu, who was thirty meters away, instantly appeared next to friend A.

Warrior-level speed + inherent time control, so terrifying!

Even his friend Wan Ye, who boasted of his strong dynamic vision and agility, couldn't react to how Lin Qiu approached him and stared at him in disbelief.

The black-clad counterfeit who was preparing for a sneak attack was also stunned. He kept stabbing with a knife, staring at Lin Qiu with wide eyes, as if he was looking at some inhuman being.

Lin Qiu released his acceleration and kicked the dagger away with one kick. With the second kick, he knocked the impostor down and completely knocked him out.
