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

Sister Ying and Ganyu have both gone to bed.

In fact, if you want to keep cool, the best option is to sleep with the Ice Qilin in your arms. However, Lin Qiu accepted the commission from Captain Qin and had a mission to accomplish, so he put rest aside for the time being.

Eula moved a chair and sat next to Lin Qiu. At the same time, Barbara was in the hotel room, looking out the window.

However, she was not looking at the cemetery, but at Lin Qiu and Youla.

"Is there any new information from the Knights recently?" Lin Qiu asked.

Eula replied: "According to our investigation, the blizzard over at Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain seems to have gotten bigger, and even a little abnormally big."

"I remember that the chief alchemist was stationed in the Snow Mountain, wasn't he?" Lin Qiu wondered, "If there were any changes in the Snow Mountain, he would be the first to notice it."

Eula shook her head and said, "In fact, the alchemist named Albedo has recently returned temporarily due to the academic assessment of alchemists in Mondstadt. He originally planned to return to the snowy mountains four days ago."

Four days ago, the day the concert was attacked.

Eula continued, "That day, because Klee ran away without permission, it put a lot of pressure on Jean. In addition, the situation was special and Klee could not be allowed to do whatever she wanted. So Albedo was left to take care of Klee, so he has not returned to the snow mountain yet."

“So that’s how it is.” Lin Qiu said.

In this case, the situation on the other side of the snow mountain is completely unknown, but Lin Qiu cannot go too far away from Mondstadt to explore the snow mountain or something.

After all, the doctor's portal is still here. If the doctor opens the portal directly as soon as I leave, then Mond's defense will be in trouble.

Besides, the doctor's true location cannot be determined before meeting him. If he is not near the snow-capped mountains, the situation will be even worse.

Because of this, the safest way is to jump through the portal and find the Doctor.

Of course, there is another way.

It is to find the elusive green bard named Wendy, and let him be responsible for guarding the cemetery, while Lin Qiu goes to the snow mountain to explore alone.

The problem is that the old drunkard is very hard to find, and he is free. It is probably impossible for him to stay in the deserted cemetery all day without drinking.

After all, it is not a big deal at the moment. Even though the face of the statue of the God of Wind is destroyed, it will not lead to the God of Wind taking action himself. At least, it will be when the entire Mondstadt is in danger that the guy who does not do his job will do something serious.

Although the slices of the Doctor's betrayer are extremely destructive, and there is the precedent of the Liyue mechanical Osel, the incident did not happen. Perhaps even if Fengshen prepared for it, he might not do it.

To sum up, the unstable factor of Fengshen can be ignored.

When the fighting breaks out in Mondstadt and the affected area becomes larger, he will naturally show up.

Because of what happened at the concert, the atmosphere in Liberty City has become a little gloomy recently. Although everyone is still eating and drinking as usual, and the sales of alcohol have not decreased at all, it has also created a depressing atmosphere similar to that of the Wind Dragon period.

Compared to wind dragons, drones, which are numerous and look terrifying, can generate more urban legends and ghost stories, which will affect people's moods over time.

There were even rumors that these drones were actually invented by the Lawrence family. They were the ones who recaptured Mond's weapons, and the Lawrence family deliberately destroyed the face of the Wind God statue...

Of course, after investigation by Captain Qin and Eula, there was no problem with Lawrence.

In short, because of the attack on Barbara's concert, suspicions and rumors continued to arise among the residents of Mond, and even the taste of the wine was affected and began to become bitter.

However, the people of Mond are free, and it is their freedom and right to think whatever they want. But it is wrong for them to slander others, so the Knight of Favonius is busy all day long refuting rumors and correcting everyone's misunderstandings.

Lin Qiu couldn't help but sigh that those mechanical drones had changed the atmosphere of Mondstadt with just one attack and made the Knights of Favonius extremely busy.

Looking at it from another angle, I believe that as long as the drone problem is solved and the culprit is found out, with the help of a little bit of alcohol, the atmosphere in Mondstadt will return to its original state.

As he was chatting with Eula, he suddenly noticed that Captain Qin was walking towards them with a basket not far away.

Barbara at the window retracted her head but did not close the window.

The blonde knight came up to the two men and said, "You two have worked so hard late at night. I just finished my work and went to the restaurant to buy a pizza. They gave me an extra slice, and I couldn't finish it so I thought of you. I wonder if this midnight snack suits your taste."

Lin Qiu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Qin. You should go back and have a rest. There's no need to send us anything..."

Just as Lin Qiu was about to take the basket, an accident happened.

Suddenly, a strong light came from the cemetery. This was the feedback from Lin Qiu's Yin-Yang magic being triggered, indicating that the portal was opened.

Just as Lin Qiu was about to twist his belt, transform to block the door, and push all the drones back, he discovered that not only did nothing come out of the portal, but a strong suction force was generated, sucking in everything around it like the eye of a tornado.

The demonized Lin Qiu didn't care so much. He summoned the Killing Spear in his hand to deal with any emergencies. At the same time, he raised the Yin-Yang technique of physical recovery to the highest level, and then jumped into the portal without fear.

Little did he know that after he jumped into the portal, the suction force of the cemetery portal sucked in all the outdoor people and objects around the cemetery.

Although there were not many people outside at this time, and this place was very remote so there wouldn't be too many people, Jean and Eula, as well as Barbara who was hiding in the window, could not escape the suction and were sucked into the portal.

Chapter 151: Using Heaven's Law to Order the Doctor (6k)

On the other side of the portal is a very large natural cave. From the strong chill in the air, one can feel that this is the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

After all, there are only two relatively cold places in Teyvat, the snow-capped mountains and the winter.

But if you think about it carefully, you will know that it can't be the Kingdom of Winter.

By opening a research institute in the Kingdom of Winter, Dr. Betrayer is simply courting his own death. Not to mention the Ice Queen, other executives will also dethrone him.

Because of this, Lin Qiu, who came to the other side of the portal, could be sure that this was a cave somewhere deep in the snow-capped mountains.

Moreover, the system's detection function also told him that the doctor, or a slice of the doctor, was in this place.

However, what greeted him was not a weapon or a trap, nor any dangerous invention, but just a tower-shaped metal instrument about 10 meters high. The tip of the instrument continuously released light spots, and the light spots surged towards Lin Qiu, forming a portal behind him.

The person operating the instrument was a woman dressed like an Ice Firefly Mage. She was originally cleaning up the garbage and debris that was sucked in by the portal. When she saw Lin Qiu standing at the entrance of the portal with a killing gun in his hand, the Ice Firefly Mage was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

"Demon, how could there be a demon here?! aieeeee!!!" She was even scared and made strange noises.

As the doctor's subordinate, she had collected intelligence about the demon god Lin Qiu. Despite this, seeing him in person and feeling the oppression up close was still hard for the Ice Firefly Warlock to bear. Not becoming incontinent on the spot was already the best performance.

The demonized Lin Qiu looked around in confusion. Both the rock walls and the ground were covered with complicated pipes and wires, and he had no idea what they were used for.

He sighed in his heart that the doctor was really something. In such a short time, he managed to highly mechanize the cave in the snowy mountains and transform it into a factory-like state.

After all, in cold regions, overly sophisticated equipment is very likely to malfunction, and the doctor's choice to establish a base in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is indeed a very risky behavior.

However, considering that this guy has high-tech drones and amazing tools like Iron Man, it is not impossible to transform the cave into a research institute in a short period of time.

Finally, Lin Qiu's gaze returned to the trembling Ice Firefly Mage who was sitting on the ground. Her ice elemental flying insects had all fallen to the ground under Lin Qiu's pressure. They kept struggling as if they were sprayed with insecticide, but finally stopped moving.

The firefly sorcerer who lost her bugs is not even as good as an ordinary hillbilly. Lin Qiu facing her in his current state is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Lin Qiu found it very strange. After the doctor opened the portal, not only did he not send any mechanical equipment into Mondstadt, he even did not defend the other side of the portal. He only let a weak female sorceress operate the portal. He had no idea what this guy was trying to do.

In this case, Lin Qiu believed that the maintenance equipment was accidentally touched.

Just as he was about to approach the other party, the portal behind him suddenly moved again, and then the two sisters Eula, Qin and Barbara flew out of the portal at high speed and hit Lin Qiu's back heavily.

As a last resort, Lin Qiu canceled his transformation.

After all, when I was in Demon God mode, I had too many thorns on my body, not to mention the sharp thing on the snake-bone tail. The Killing Spear alone was a weapon covered with sharp thorns, and I usually let it pierce my palm and hold it.

In the transformed state, he let them bump into him, and the scene was unbearable to watch.

Because of this, Lin Qiu, who had just finished his transformation, dove forward to absorb the force the moment the three people flew towards him, allowing them to land safely.

The current scene was as if three people flew over, knocked Lin Qiu out of his transformation, and then pressed on him.

The reason why the three of them flew out of the portal was this - the portal on the cemetery side had a huge suction force. Although the demonized Lin Qiu could resist the suction force, Barbara and the others could not, so they were sucked into the portal with their own acceleration.

It's normal that Captain Qin and Eula are here. As for Barbara, she was leaning on the window to spy on Lin Qiu and the others, but was accidentally sucked out of the window and entered the portal.

At this moment, seeing Lin Qiu being forced to lose his transformation and the other three falling hard, the Ice Firefly Warlock suddenly regained his courage and wanted to approach and tie them all up.

Then, as he approached the three people playing the stacking game, Lin Qiu, who was pressed at the bottom, reached out and grabbed the ankle of the Fatui female soldier.

"Ah——" the Firefly Mage screamed.

Now, the Ice Firefly Warlock is in a miserable situation where he wants to escape but is completely unable to do so.

……

Half a minute later, Eula and the others almost regained consciousness, but the Ice Firefly Mage was tied up with a piece of white cloth stuffed in his mouth.

"You should go back through the portal the same way you came. This is the enemy's position and it's too dangerous." Lin Qiu said to the three people, "As soon as you leave, I will destroy the portal to prevent any strange things from entering the snow mountain through the portal."

At this moment, the female Fatui soldier whose mouth was sealed with white cloth suddenly tried to make a sound, but due to the foreign object in her mouth, she could only make “woohoo” sounds to increase her presence.

Lin Qiu pulled out the white cloth covered with saliva from her mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough, whoosh whoosh—" After taking a few deep breaths, the Ice Firefly Warlock tried to stop him, "Wait, wait, we can't go through the portal in the opposite direction, or someone will die!"

"What's going on?" Lin Qiu asked.

The Ice Firefly Warlock explained hastily, "Since the drone was sent to Mond last time, the Doctor has remodeled the Snow Mountain's transmission device. It can only suck things from Mond, but cannot send things from here, as they will be directly crushed..."

"Why are you telling us this?" Eula didn't quite believe it. "If what you said is true, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill us?"

The female soldier of the Fatui looked at Lin Qiu and said fearfully, "If I see you turn into blood mist in the portal, I don't know what your companions will do to me."

Lin Qiu twisted his belt again to activate the demon mode, then walked to the portal and reached his hand in to try.

When the hand was taken out of the portal, it was covered with cuts, as if it had been put into a meat grinder. The next moment, the wounds on the hand were automatically healed by Yin-Yang magic.

Lin Qiu canceled his transformation and thought: The damage he can cause to me, who has transformed into a demon, is indeed not to be underestimated. It is as efficient and terrifying as a laser cutter.

However, given his physical condition after the transformation, he would not die even if he jumped back and forth repeatedly. After all, he was blessed with Yin-Yang runes with high recovery, and he was very tanky while also dealing high damage.

But Captain Qin and the others do not have that level of toughness, nor do they have the body to withstand the Yin-Yang magic runes. I can go back, but they probably can't.

Nor could he risk giving them a rock shield. What if the shield shattered during the process? Lin Qiu couldn't afford the consequences.

Now that things have come to this, let's ask the Ice Firefly Warlock more questions and see if we can get any important information out of him.

Before that, Lin Qiu had one more thing to do.

He bit his finger and drew Yin-Yang magic patterns similar to the stigmata on the backs of Eula, Barbara, and Jean, giving them shields and protection from arrows.

In this way, even if an emergency occurs, Lin Qiu will not have to be distracted to protect them.

Of course, the price was that Lin Qiu provided the three people with the highest standard shields, and in return, he lost the ability to shield himself. After all, all his magic power was used to protect the three people. However, when he encountered danger, he could just transform directly and there was no need for a shield or anything.

"How do you feel?" Lin Qiu asked the three of them.

Barbara thought about it carefully and answered seriously: "It's a little itchy."

"I'm not asking how it feels to draw the runes..." Lin Qiu said helplessly, "I mean, how does it feel after putting on the shield? Is it uncomfortable? If it's uncomfortable, you can make some minor adjustments."

"No, no, it's very comfortable." Barbara said with a slight blush.

Qin glanced at Barbara, then returned her gaze to Lin Qiu and praised: "Similar to the normal state, the great hero's Yin-Yang technique is very superb."

"Very good, much more comfortable than the Knights' armor." Eula also said.

Since there are no security issues, Lin Qiu can now interrogate the Firefly Wizard with peace of mind.

He opened the eyes of the poor and asked, "Doctor, why did you create the portal? Why did you attack Mond and try to kidnap Barbara? Also, what is this place used for? Tell me the truth."

He put his hand on the transformation belt and threatened the other party with this gesture: If you don’t intend to answer well, the one who interrogates you will not be me, but a more cruel guy!

"I, I, I don't know!" replied the nearly collapsed Ice Firefly Warlock.

The strange thing was that she was not lying - at least that's what Poor Man's Knowledge told Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu was silent for a moment, still unable to figure out the reason. He was puzzled: To be able to operate the portal in a place like this, he couldn't be an ordinary minion. How could he be so clueless...

He changed the question: "Why don't you know?"

"I only have the most basic knowledge about operating instruments. The doctor will not tell us other information." The Ice Firefly Warlock replied, "If someone knows something they shouldn't know, their memory of that aspect will be erased or they will be punished on the spot."

The poor man's knowledge told Lin Qiu that the firefly sorcerer was not lying and she really didn't know any information.

Then you can only explore the truth by yourself.

"Everyone, although the incident happened suddenly, we can only keep moving forward." Lin Qiu said, looking at the three people who were sucked in by the portal.

At this moment, Captain Jean looked at Barbara, hesitated for a moment, and suggested: "Great hero, let's go explore together. After all, Barbara...is not a combatant. Let's stay here with Eula to avoid any unexpected situations."

"Captain, I'm very...grateful that you can take such good care of me." Barbara suddenly said, "But I'm fine, please let me help you!"

Just when Captain Qin was about to say something, Lin Qiu smiled and said, "Let Miss Barbara follow. As a victim of the doctor's drone, she is certainly qualified to meet that guy and ask for an explanation. What do you think, Captain Qin?"

"Since the great hero has said so... well, let's move forward together." Jean agreed, and then raised her sword, "I swear by this sword, for Mond, for the God of Wind. Although I don't know the doctor's specific purpose, I can't let him succeed!"

Just like that, led by the Ice Firefly Mage with her hands tied behind her back, Lin Qiu and the others left the portal and headed towards the area where the doctor was - even though the Firefly Mage didn't have much information, she could still lead the way.

Before leaving, he wrote a note, transformed into a demon and held it tightly in his hand to protect the note and stuffed it to the other side of the portal. At the same time, he used Yin-Yang magic to increase the mass of the note to prevent it from being sucked here again.

Lin Qiu threw the notes to the other side of the portal, and he threw several more just in case.

The content of the note was simple: it briefly explained the situation on this side, advised people on the other side not to enter the portal, and emphasized that this was a one-way door.

In this case, Sister Firefly, Hu Tao, Ganyu and the others should not come in to look for people without permission, but stay in Mondstadt to prevent any accidents in the city.
