"What did you think of?" Lin Qiu raised his altitude slightly and asked curiously.

"There is a way to make Miss Coral Palace accept the ceremony without hesitation." Linghua was very happy, "As long as we do this, there will be absolutely no problem!"

"How to do it?" Lin Qiu asked.

When asked how to implement it specifically, the girl became hesitant, as if she was too embarrassed to talk about this method.

"Forget it. We can carry out the ritual tomorrow after we destroy the evil eye factory." Lin Qiu did not force Linghua to speak out. Although he was impatient, he had no shortage of time. "Then you can slowly show us what the method is."

"Yes!" Linghua agreed.

The atmosphere became much more harmonious. The two chatted in the hot spring pool, talking about what happened in Kamisato House, imagining Inazuma after the war, and talking about the beautiful festival...

About half an hour later, the two left the hot spring pool, dried themselves, changed their clothes, and returned to their room to rest, preparing for the day when they would destroy the Evil Eye Factory and sign the contract.

Chapter 53 Linghua Alone with Xinhai

The next day, on Bayun Island, near the Evil Eye Factory.

Hundreds of elite troops from Kaigi Island gathered in a hidden area, preparing to raid the Fatui factory.

The reason why there are so few people is that Xinhai discovered through investigation that the Evil Eye Factory was not well guarded and mainly relied on executive officers.

And now she has a capable assistant, Ronin Lin Qiu, who is enough to restrain the executives in the factory.

In addition, the terrain inside the factory is complex, and the more people there are, the more chaotic it will be. It would be better to select elite troops to launch a blitzkrieg, destroy the factory in one fell swoop, and then evacuate quickly.

At this moment, Xinhai stood in front of the line of recruits and emphasized the mission objectives to the soldiers.

"Everyone, our mission this time is to destroy the factory. Once the mission is completed, you can evacuate immediately without having to fight with the Fatui. This is the premise. As for the mission process, General Goro will lead you in the destruction work, and Lin Qiu will be the executive officer."

"The main target of this operation is the core of the Evil Eye Factory, the 'space transfer device' shaped like a light bulb. The Fatui use it to create the Evil Eye. If it is destroyed, the factory will come to a complete standstill. We will start the operation in half an hour!"

The soldiers had already read the written documents of the mission last night, but in order to ensure that the operation was foolproof, Xinhai emphasized it to everyone again.

While Coral Palace Xinhai was speaking, Goro stood at the front of the soldiers, while Lin Qiu and Linghua, who served as external aid, stood on her left and right sides.

After the speech, the soldiers began the final reorganization, checking the weapons and equipment at hand, checking the specific functions of their respective teams, and eliminating unstable factors...

It was raining heavily on Bayun Island. Xinhai shuttled between the teams, communicating with the captains of each team to ensure that the operation to destroy the factory could proceed smoothly.

Lin Qiu and Ling Hua were chatting on the side.

While chatting, Linghua suddenly told Lin Qiu that she needed to be away for a few minutes.

As soon as she finished speaking, the silver-haired girl ran straight towards Xinhai. The eldest lady whispered a few words into the ear of the present-day human god priestess, causing Xinhai's face to turn red.

The sound of dripping rain, coupled with the noisy voices of hundreds of soldiers, and the fact that a flash of thunder had passed through the sky not long before Linghua whispered, all these unfavorable factors combined resulted in Lin Qiu, who had excellent hearing, not being able to hear the content of their conversation.

Lin Qiu pondered for a moment and thought that the content of their conversation was probably related to the method of "making Xinhai less shy" mentioned by Linghua when they were taking a hot spring bath last night.

But for some reason, Xinhai looked even more shy.

Lin Qiu didn't care about these details. The ceremony would be held soon anyway, and he would know what Linghua's good idea was at that time.

He believed that the serious and intelligent Princess Egret would not do anything strange, and that it would at least be of some use in reducing Xin Hai's resistance and shyness.

……

The central area of ​​the Evil Eye Factory.

A three-story-high, oval-shaped luminous object similar to a light bulb stood in the center of the spacious hall, emitting an uncomfortable purple light.

This is a large-scale version of the space transfer device invented by the doctor. It can absorb and store the energy of the evil spirits on Bayun Island, and can also distort space to perform a teleportation function.

The working principle of this device for making the evil eye is to transfer the stored evil spirit energy into a high-quality gemstone through space, and use the stable characteristics of the gemstone rock elements to fix the evil spirit energy, thus completing an evil eye.

The operation of the space transfer device requires a large amount of crystallized bone marrow as a medium. Not long ago, the lady took the soldiers to mine snake bones just for this "big light bulb".

As a result, a guy showed up that day and insulted the executive with a fly swatter, causing the angry lady to chase the guy for most of the day, wasting time looking for the mineral vein.

This eventually results in a lack of crystallized bone marrow, and the space stabilization device begins to reduce its output, and occasionally "strikes" occur, causing great headaches for women.

Now, the big purple light bulb started blinking again, which meant it had stopped working again.

"What's going on?" Rosalin frowned and questioned the engineer next to her.

"It may be a malfunction." The engineer said timidly, "It will be restored in a while."

The engineer didn't dare to tell the truth: It was because you, my lady, didn't find the crystallized bone marrow vein when you went out last time, and the lack of medium caused the failure.

The lady frowned and walked to the bottom of the "light bulb", where it was connected to a control console filled with complicated buttons and joysticks that the lady could not understand at all.

Just as the engineer was puzzled, the lady raised her hand at a 45-degree angle and slapped the console - this was a clever trick used by the people of Winter to repair machines. Although Rosalin was from Mond, she had also learned this traditional craft.

Sure enough, the lady's slap had a huge effect. Along with a clicking noise from the console, the giant light bulb suddenly emitted a strong light, as if the power had increased dozens of times.

The engineer realized that something was wrong, clasped his hands together and began to pray: "May Her Majesty the Queen bless you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was enveloped by light.

……

After inspecting the soldiers, Coral Palace Xinhai returned to Lin Qiu with Linghua.

There are only 15 minutes left until the official action.

"Miss Kamisato and I are waiting here for your triumphant return." Xinhai looked directly into Lin Qiu's eyes, "Please, my soldiers are relying on you to protect them!"

"No problem. I just need to show my magic weapon (fly swatter) and the executive will keep chasing me and hitting me. It won't affect other people." Lin Qiu said confidently, and then asked, "By the way, the space transfer device in the factory sounds like a very powerful thing. Wouldn't it cause some disaster if it is destroyed rashly?"

Coral Palace Xinhai answered confidently:

"I have collected a lot of intelligence. As long as we do not interfere with the space device during operation, it will not go out of control. So I urge everyone to cut off the power supply of the space device first, then completely destroy it and leave."

At this moment, a dazzling purple light came at high speed from the direction of the factory.

Lin Qiu reacted quickly, throwing Linghua and Xinhai to the ground, and stood over them to try to block the energy.

The extremely fast flow of energy covered everyone present.

……

When Kamisato Ayaka woke up, she found herself in a dark passage. From the surrounding metallic walls, it could be seen that this was the Evil Eye Factory.

She looked around and saw Coral Palace Xinhai lying next to her, and no one else.

Linghua wakes up Xinhai.

Bewildered Miss Yu looked left and right, her mind regained a little clarity, and she roughly understood her current situation in her heart.

She analyzed, "Could it be that before we entered, the transmission device malfunctioned and leaked energy, randomly transmitting us to the inside of the factory?"

The originally perfect raid plan turned into a mess due to an unexpected accident.

"Then the others should have been teleported here as well." Linghua made a conclusion based on the experience, "We'd better meet up with the others as soon as possible."

Xinhai agreed, and the two of them randomly chose a direction and walked forward side by side cautiously.

Kamisato Ayaka's hands tightly grasped the pendant on her chest, but she felt that Lin Qiu was most likely to have woken up earlier than her, and might have already been doing some important things. It would be better not to summon him before encountering real danger.

The two girls walked in a passage as complicated as a maze. Strangely, they did not see any Fatui soldiers. The Evil Eye Factory was eerily quiet.

"Miss Coral Palace..." Linghua suddenly broke the silence, "What do you think of Mr. Lin?"

Xinhai was remembering the path he had taken, and didn't pay much attention to Linghua's question. He answered subconsciously:

"A capable and reliable man, if we can let him stay on Umi Island... hm?"

Coral Palace Xinhai finally reacted and realized that he seemed to have said something terrible in front of Princess Bailu.

Chapter 54 Help me, Mr. Lin!

Xin Hai fell silent after reacting. The military advisor's little brain went offline for a short while. She regretted her remarks that came out without thinking.

Considering the rumors between Princess Shiraha and ronin Lin Qiu, Xinhai suspected that Linghua was jealous. After all, he said in front of her that "I want to keep Lin Qiu on Kaigi Island", which definitely hit Princess Shiraha's sore spot!

She turned to look at Linghua, wanting to correct her remarks, but found that Linghua looked very kind and did not seem offended.

However, the smiling expression on Linghua's face made Xinhai feel a little creepy.

"Why did you suddenly ask me, 'What do you think of Lin Qiu?'" Xinhai brought the topic back to the starting point. "Although I have heard of you for a long time, Mr. Lin Qiu and I just met for the first time yesterday. In comparison, you, who have been with me all the way, must know him better."

Linghua smiled and said, "Because Miss Coral Palace and Mr. Lin will have to connect their elemental powers sooner or later."

Xin Hai tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what Ling Hua was talking about, and asked, "Could my opinion of Mr. Lin affect the connection of elemental power?"

Linghua still smiled and explained:

"It doesn't affect me. I just heard that the elemental forces were successfully connected, and you can even talk to each other across the air! So I want to know what you think of Mr. Lin. What if Miss Xinhai hates Mr. Lin? Wouldn't it be terrible after the elemental forces are connected?"

What Linghua said does make sense. It would be a terrible thing to establish a voice call connection with someone you hate that can never be eliminated.

This is a lifelong contractual connection.

Then, Linghua said happily: "Until Miss Xinhai said just now that she not only doesn't hate Mr. Lin, but even wants to keep him on Haiji Island, I finally felt relieved - I believe that after your elemental powers are connected, you will get along very happily."

"Well, Ms. Kamisato, you helped me come up with 'that method' when we were outside before, and now you've thought so much about me. I'm very pleased..." Xinhai asked curiously after being entangled, "But I remember the rumors that you and Mr. Lin Qiu have a special relationship. He established a 'lifetime contract' with me. Wouldn't you be unhappy?"

"I can see that Miss Xinhai only regards Mr. Lin as a collaborator." Kamisato Ayaka said calmly, and then she asked Xinhai's opinion, "Also, I have a very rude idea, can I say it?"

"Please go ahead." Xin Hai agreed, "I'll take it as a joke and won't take it seriously."

The corners of Linghua's mouth raised slightly, but she still smiled elegantly. She said:

“Perhaps after the elemental forces are connected, over time, Miss Xinhai may develop feelings for Lin Qiu one day. Even then, I can happily accept it because I know very well that Miss Xinhai is a very outstanding girl.”

Princess White Egret is very tolerant. To put it simply, she doesn’t care about just three people!

When they first met yesterday, Kamisato Ayaka already felt that Coral Palace Xinhai was an extraordinary girl.

The fact that he decisively agreed to Lin Qiu's request in order to save Kaigi Island is enough to prove that Xinhai's assessment of the situation, his spirit of self-sacrifice, and his firm attitude in making decisions are all excellent and incomparable to ordinary people.

Linghua would not think there was anything wrong with such a "good girl" establishing a contract with Lin Qiu. Even if Xinhai fell in love with Lin Qiu in the future, she still would not think there was any problem.

At worst, I can just change the bed in my room to one that can sleep three people.

This is the tolerance of Princess Bai Lu, and this is the confidence of a noble lady.

Seeing Kamisato Ayaka's attitude, Coral Palace Xinhai blushed, but Xinhai still pretended to be confident and said, "Ms. Kamisato's idea is very interesting, but please don't worry, as a living god priestess, I will not develop feelings for Mr. Lin Qiu just because we can communicate remotely through the elemental power."

Linghua did not respond, but just smiled and casually touched the rune stone pendant on her chest.

While chatting and laughing, the two arrived at the end of the passage.

The gate at the end is five meters high. Such a luxurious door is enough to show that there is a very important place inside.

Xinhai found an operating table in front of the door. She fiddled with it for a few times and the door opened automatically.

Sure enough, in the hall inside the door, there was a spectacular instrument that was the size of a three-story building and shaped like a light bulb.

Space transfer device.

……

Goro gradually woke up and found himself lying in the factory, with more than a dozen Kaigi Island soldiers lying around him.

He woke up the soldiers on the ground one by one and gave orders: "I'm afraid that Master Coral Palace has also been teleported into the Evil Eye Factory. Due to special circumstances, the mission is temporarily changed: find and protect Master Coral Palace, follow Master Coral Palace's orders, and continue to move or retreat."

At this moment, Goro's dog ears stood up high and he looked at the metal wall next to him.

"What's wrong, General?" asked the soldier.

"I seem to hear some kind of noise, and the wall here seems to have some bulges." Wu Lang shook his ears and speculated with a serious face, "Maybe someone is unlucky and is transferred into the wall..."

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, Lin Qiu suddenly broke through the iron wall and appeared in front of the shocked soldiers of Haiji Island.

"Fuck, I wasn't built into the statue by the general, but into the wall." He greeted Wu Lang and others, "Hey, hello, everyone, I didn't scare you, did I?"

Lin Qiu joined Goro's small group. In the process of searching for Ayaka-chan and Miss Yu, other Kaigi Island soldiers were constantly found, but there was no trace of the girls.

The executors of this mission have all seen the approximate topographic map of the factory and have almost memorized it.

However, the map in the mind can only play the greatest role when entering the factory from the main gate. In a situation like this where you are teleported to an unknown area, you need time to explore.

As the soldiers of Kaigi Island were walking, suddenly, Lin Qiu's body gradually became blurred.

"What's going on?!" Wu Lang was surprised.

"Don't worry, this is my eldest lady calling me." Lin Qiu explained calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qiu disappeared.
