"It's not that simple. If the construction period is three months, or even thirty days, it's still okay, but three days... even if I ask my best friend to help, there's nothing I can do." Yae Shenzi said helplessly, "So time is the biggest obstacle. We must try another method, a faster method."
The Son of God was kneeling, and Lin Qiu was sitting cross-legged opposite her. There were a lot of divination items between them. Both of them were silent, thinking about how to save Lin Qiu.
(Cheat the world, how?)
"Cheat the world?" Lin Qiu was puzzled and repeated Miss M's words in a low voice.
"Cheat the world. That's right, cheat the world. You are simply a genius in Yin-Yang magic!" Yae Shenzi said excitedly. She suddenly found that being ecstatic was not in line with her usual image, and quickly calmed down. "Ahem, I didn't expect you to be so good at divination and fate, even better than me. Even I didn't expect this solution."
Lin Qiu was very confused: I am not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense, what are you talking about deceiving the world?
Miss M did not explain in detail. After giving her advice, she immediately went back to sleep, leaving Lin Qiu, who was completely confused about the situation, sitting there accepting the praise from the Son of God.
Not long after, Lin Qiu vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard the keyword "deceiving the world" in a classic work before he traveled through time.
At school...No!
jojo? That's not right either.
It's Steins;Gate!
A person who is bound to die no matter what, deceives the world and reality by faking his death, thus achieving a survival outcome that reverses his fate.
His current fate is to be killed by the Death Thorn Spear, which is difficult to change. Even if he hides the Death Thorn Spear and puts it in the system warehouse, his fate will still come.
However, as long as he lets the Death Thorn Spear pierce his chest, he can create the illusion that he has died while actually being alive. By deceiving the world, he can survive the disaster!
At this moment, Yae Shinko suddenly asked: "What do you think is the closest to the 'world' that you can successfully contact?"
"Could it be... the Seven Gods?" Lin Qiu guessed.
The fox woman nodded and said seriously: "Teyvat is made up of a variety of elements, and the seven gods represent the seven elements. They can be regarded as symbols of the 'earthly world', so the existence that can help you avoid fate is Inazuma Narukami."
Based on the Son of God's explanation, Lin Qiu roughly understood it.
As long as he stabbed his own heart with the Death Thorn Spear in front of General Lei Dian and pretended to be dead, and at the same time made Lei Shen believe that "Lin Qiu" was dead, he could successfully avoid his predetermined fate.
Not only can he continue to live, but because his fate has been "declared over", backlash will no longer exist, and he can use the Death Thorn Spear however he wants from now on!
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be quite difficult.
First of all, how could she play dead in front of General Raiden and deceive her? She was the strongest warrior in Inazuma, and ordinary breath holding would not work unless her heart really stopped beating.
Secondly, stabbing the heart with the Death Thorn Spear is not pretending to be dead, but it is certain death - the magic spear comes with a curse, and thorns will burst out when it penetrates the heart, achieving the effect of finishing off the opponent.
Even Cú Chulainn, who was in battle continuation A, couldn't hold on, so how could he possibly stab himself and survive?
Thinking about it the other way around, as long as we solve these two problems, we can be reborn.
He asked the Son of God these two questions.
"You have just experienced a dangerous battle, so don't think about these things. Leave the magic spear to the God Society for safekeeping." Yae Shenzi said softly, "Give me a day and a half to think about it. I will help you solve these two problems. Come to me at noon the day after tomorrow."
Three days actually starts from tomorrow. As long as Lin Qiu doesn't touch the magic gun again, fate will not come early.
After they found a solution and reached a consensus, Lin Qiu prepared to get up and leave.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
"If I don't tell you now, it may be too late in the future. Thank you, Miss Yae Shenzi!" Lin Qiu thanked sincerely, "For helping me break the curse today, and for taking care of me in the past, I must thank you!"
The favors between them have always been unequal. The Son of God has provided treatment and divination many times, and even sealed the magic spear. Lin Qiu only helped to clear the monsters in Yingxiang Mountain and brought some tofu for the Son of God to eat, and never expressed gratitude.
And now he is dying. If I don’t say thank you now, I might never have the chance again.
"Hmm~~ I seem to have heard some extremely precious words! In that case, I will accept your thanks without hesitation." Shen Zi's expression was much more relaxed. "To be honest, at first I just felt that every time I saw you, I would think of an old friend, so I became friends with you."
Lin Qiu listened quietly, and combined with Shen Zi's words, he began to recall the past: he and Shen Zi really became familiar with each other after Miss M moved in...
Yae Shenzi rarely reveals her true feelings, but in front of Lin Qiu, she often subconsciously vents her emotions, because every time she sees Lin Qiu, she will have hallucinations.
Lin Qiu's figure gradually overlapped with the noble figure in his memory. That was a gentle and intellectual god who often held the Son of God in his hands when he was still a little fox.
Now, although Yae Kamiko's ears were drooping, she still tried her best to look relaxed. After all, 500 years ago, that adult often advised her to stay optimistic and cheerful.
The Son of God smiled and blessed:
"In the beginning, I treated you well and gave you unconditional treatment and shelter, just because seeing you reminded me of the deceased. But after more than half a year of getting along, I realized that you have the strength but do not act recklessly, and you have the excellent character of respecting the weak."
"I'm glad and happy to meet you! I hope you can get through this difficult time, Lin Qiu."
At this moment, she, contrary to her usual behavior, transformed herself into a solemn shrine priest, doing everything to perfection and giving her friends the most sincere blessings.
"Ms. Fox, I promise you won't lose friends again." Lin Qiu also smiled, "I will do my best to deceive the world (Thor)!"
Chapter 28 Short-lived Friend A
It was almost dusk when we left Narugami Taisha Shrine and arrived near Kamisato House with Ayaka.
Along the way, Lin Qiu did not mention to the eldest lady that he might be stabbed by a dog gun. After all, Linghua could not help him, so it was better not to cause unnecessary worry.
Report good news, not bad news.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the creek where they first met. They didn't talk much on the way because they had experienced too much today and both sides were a little tired.
From morning till now, they first fished and ate fish together, and then fed the small animals. All of this was relaxing and enjoyable until a certain unromantic guy showed up, and the atmosphere became busy as he was killed with the Unleashed Magic Gun.
Lin Qiu was unconscious, Linghua asked people to collect the stragglers and send Lin Qiu to the shrine...
During the process, the young lady had removed the emergency treatment of the wound on her right hand (socks) and replaced it with a normal bandage.
The two walked to the stream, and Linghua suddenly took out a pair of white socks and said to Lin Qiu beside her: "Mr. Lin, this is yours. I'm giving it back to you."
While at the shrine, she washed the bloodstained white socks and made sure they could be returned at any time.
The exhausted young lady no longer had the energy to be shy and just wanted to get into the soft bed as soon as possible.
However, Lin Qiu did not accept the socks this time.
"I'll leave it with you first and give it to me in three days, okay?" he replied.
Anyway, the system task had been completed long ago, so it didn’t matter whether he took the socks or not. Therefore, Lin Qiu decided that even if he wanted to accept the socks, he would wait until he changed his fate.
Linghua didn't know the reason for the curse of the magic spear. She asked blankly, "Three days later... Could it be that Mr. Lin wants the socks I've worn? Wearing them for three consecutive days without changing them might be a little difficult. I've never done this before."
As she spoke, Linghua put the sock back on her fair right foot.
"Miss, why do you think I mean this?" Lin Qiu explained helplessly, "You don't need to wear it, just carry it with you and give it to me on the third day."
Even if it was a beautiful silver-haired girl, if she wore the same socks for three consecutive days, Lin Qiu didn't dare to imagine what the socks would eventually become.
"I see. Since I'm already dressed, I'll put it on first." Linghua suddenly remembered something and said with a worried look on her face, "Come to think of it, when the palace official called me out to do divination, he seemed to have mentioned something like 'magic spear backlash'..."
"Don't worry, the magic gun doesn't have any side effects. At most, it makes my waist and legs sore and I feel depressed, as if my body has been hollowed out - it will be fine in a few days." Lin Qiu lied and comforted, "The Goddess is just doing a routine checkup. Every time she comes to the shrine, she likes to tell my fortune."
Lin Qiu appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually staring at Linghua nervously, afraid that the young lady would suddenly notice something and yell "You are nothing" or something.
However, Linghua has a gentle personality, so even if she finds out that she is lying, it won't be that scary.
Lin Qiu continued to act calm, not like a guy who might be stabbed to death by his own weapon within three days, and successfully deceived the young lady.
"So that's how it is. I feel relieved then." Linghua stroked her chest and said with relief.
It seems that because of the suspension bridge effect, coupled with the sense of accomplishment of working together to defeat the executive, Linghua's concern for Lin Qiu has increased significantly - of course, it also has a lot to do with Miss Fox's hands-on essential oil back massage.
"Ms. Linghua, please go back to Kamisato's house first. I want to practice Yin Yang Jutsu alone for half an hour."
Linghua, who was already tired, was silent for a few seconds before agreeing to Lin Qiu's request, saying that she would be careful and then walked towards Kamisato House so as not to disturb Lin Qiu's time test operation.
Watching Miss Kamisato gradually walk away, Lin Qiu looked at the back of his hand. The pattern he had drawn with his own blood at the Narugami Taisha Shrine had now become a blur.
Lin Qiu's real intention in sending the young lady away was indeed to practice Yin-Yang magic, not to be alone.
The backlash of the magic spear did bring him a sense of crisis, but Lin Qiu did not become depressed because of it. He has always been a person who prioritizes solving problems and is very optimistic.
Instead of worrying about “I’m going to die”, it is better to improve your abilities so that you can face the crisis better when the time comes.
He used stream water to wash away the marks on the back of his hands, stained his fingers with wet soil, and re-drew the time authority rune.
Just as Lin Qiu was about to start practicing, he heard music, like the sound of blowing leaves, coming sadly from the depths of the woods. Lin Qiu went to check.
Sure enough, the person sitting on the branch with a leaf in his mouth was Lin Qiu’s drinking buddy, Fengyuan Manye, whom he had only met once.
Now Wan Ye was so immersed in his own playing that he was completely unaware of someone coming next to him.
"Sorry to interrupt your solo, Manye." Lin Qiu asked in confusion, "This piece sounds very melancholy, what happened?"
Wanye slowly opened his eyes, jumped off the branch and landed in front of Linqiu, and took the leaf out of his mouth.
"Hello, Mr. Lin Qiu, I haven't seen you for a while." Wan Ye greeted politely.
Then he began to explain the reasons:
"Fujiwara... the one you call Friend A, my dear friend, for the sake of peace and prosperity for all people in the world and to witness the majesty of God, he took the initiative to ask the shogunate for a duel in front of the emperor. I was just thinking about this and didn't even notice that the tune had turned sad."
In the martial arts-loving Inazuma, friends engage in duels to determine the winner and the outcome, and as a samurai, one should provide encouragement to them.
But Man Ye is different from most warriors. He only feels melancholy deep in his heart.
He knew that no matter what the outcome of the duel was, the enthusiasm of his best friend would not be rewarded as it should be.
If he wins, the Eye Hunting Order will not end so easily. If he loses, he will lose everything except the ability to witness the power of God - a deadly power!
The best friend knew this very well, but he still did it and challenged the emperor to a duel.
Wan Ye couldn't understand it. He could understand many of his best friend's behaviors, except this one.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Qiu remained silent.
It's finally time.
"When will the duel in front of the emperor begin?" he asked.
"The day after tomorrow morning." Wan Ye replied.
Lin Qiu patted his forehead and said: What happened, Friend A? He left earlier than me!
The two of them are in the same boat. Lin Qiu has three days left, while A-Sang has only about a day and a half left.
In fact, when he first met his Manyo friends, Hayashi was struggling with whether or not to interfere with the course of history and prevent the inevitable end of the chuunibyou’s death.
He knew that the duel in front of the emperor would come, but he did not expect that his friend A would initiate the duel in front of the emperor at the time when he was being attacked by the magic spear and was in a miserable state.
Now, it is equivalent to that I have received a main quest with a time limit, and I must solve the problem of survival within three days. As a result, a side quest of one and a half days pops up, and the content is equally difficult. Even the hardest working person cannot complete it all!
Lin Qiu thought about it and wondered if there would be a different development, and his friend A would win the duel in front of the emperor.
Then it would become Sara's death, damn!
Although according to Sara's character, he should show a relieved expression after falling under the sword.
Lin Qiu touched his chin and continued to remain silent.
Finally he decided, "Manye, tomorrow you call friend A, I'll call Sara, and we'll go to that izakaya to talk, maybe we can avoid bloodshed."
Chapter 29 Come, one-on-one challenge!
The next morning, Hanamizaka.
Lin Qiu was walking alone on the busy street. He was going to the izakaya he had been to before to fulfill the agreement he made with Manye last night and change the course of the bloody incident.
Of course, Lin Qiu didn't stop the duel in front of the emperor just because he had nothing else to do. After all, his life was in danger and he might be stabbed to death by the Death Thorn Spear.
But he could not do anything about his situation. He could only believe that the Son of God could come up with a good idea to allow him to pretend to be dead in front of Thor and deceive the predetermined fate.
While waiting, just complete this "side quest". After all, Lin Qiu would be uncomfortable if either the female Tengu or the middle school friend died.
Not to mention Kujo Sara, the largest supplier of raw stones. The upgrade lottery over the past year relied on being beaten by her. He can be considered a great benefactor on par with Miss Fox.
Lin Qiu secretly complained: Why are my benefactors so weird, they are all animal friends.
Bad company (sure).
Although he and Friend A were not close friends, the story of Manyo's friend was itself very sad. Before the time travel, Lin Qiu had felt sorry for the lonely cat many times and felt pity for him.
Now Lin Qiu realized that this guy had a very interesting soul, and he really didn't want Inazuma, who was so depressed, to lose another interesting person.
While I am still waiting for news from the Son of God, I should quickly find a way to save these two people, or at least make the ending a little better.
When they were about to arrive at the pub, Lin Qiu discovered that the patrolling soldiers and samurai around him seemed to be talking about him in secret.
Hearing is related to agility. Lin Qiu's agility has reached the warrior level, and his hearing is very strong. If he concentrates, he can hear the gossip around him.
"He seems to be the thug hired by Kamisato's family, the one who knocked down the Fatui executive?"
