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

Among the six contestants, the girl with whom Lin Qiu has the least relationship is just a friend.

The only interaction between them was during the arrest of the impostor, when Xiao Gong was punished to eat Mapo Tofu for attacking Lin Qiu due to misunderstanding, and later when Lin Qiu was worried about his friend A's duel in front of the emperor, Xiao Gong helped him to resolve the problem. Apart from that, the two did not have much interaction.

I helped find the heart only because I had promised Linghua that I would fulfill my promise.

She had no intention of participating in the ceremony. Unlike quasi-ritual members like Shala, Xiaogong and Linqiu were not very familiar with each other, and it was impossible for her to participate in the ceremony in the end.

The 6 contestants have concluded their performance.

……

Miss M, with a serious face, put down her pen temporarily. She had nothing to write. It was only the third day of the competition and nothing worth recording had happened yet.

She stared at the scroll filled with text and re-examined what she had recorded. Since it was imitating the news format of Fontaine, Lei Dianzhen's writing was not very standard.

After all, it's just for fun.

At this moment, Lin Qiu arrived at the Pure Land and teleported to a place not far behind Miss M.

The purple-haired woman who was carefully examining the scroll did not notice Lin Qiu's arrival.

Originally, Lin Qiu wanted to call Miss M, but he suddenly decided to play a prank, so he lowered his body in a stealth posture and slowly approached Lei Dianzhen from behind.

Finally, Lin Qiu squatted right behind the kneeling Miss M, thinking about what to do.

Cover her eyes and play "Guess Who I Am"... Never mind, that's too old-fashioned.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qiu stretched out his index finger and looked at the kneeling Lei Dian who was not pressed down by his buttocks. The forefoot was covered with white socks, and the two feet were pressed together honestly.

Without thinking, he poked his index finger there, and could feel the soft and delicate sole of the foot even through the socks, sliding it gently.

"Ah--" Lei Dianzhen trembled all over as if he was electrocuted and let out a strange scream. It was the first time that Lin Qiu heard Miss M make such a sound.

Raiden almost reacted on instinct and spun around and slammed her foot into Lin Qiu's face, but Lin Qiu reacted in time and grabbed her ankle to stop the attack.

"I just wanted to make a little joke, but I didn't expect Miss M to react so strongly." Lin Qiu let go of Lei Dianzhen's white socks. "Is she too sensitive? Or are all girls like this?"

"Haven't you touched Linghua's feet?" Lei Dianzhen sat back up and asked curiously.

"No, I asked her for socks in the first place because of a system task." Lin Qiu shook his head and said, "If I did that, I might be considered a pervert."

"What's wrong with a man being perverted!" Miss M corrected, "Just give me your tongue!"

At the same time, Lei Dianzhen, who maintained an upright sitting posture, was still twisting her feet behind her. I guess Lin Qiu's poke must have given her a lot of aftereffects.

"Speaking of which, Ying's body is exactly the same as mine. My weaknesses are her weaknesses, and my sensitive spots are her sensitive spots." Lei Dianzhen suddenly said with a wicked smile on his face, "Do you want me to tell you this important information? I must let my sister experience the happiness of a moment that is different from eternity."

"It sounds like a good idea, but the battle for the heart hasn't even been decided yet. Isn't it too early to discuss this now?" Lin Qiu said with interest, "Why not write it down on a scroll and make it into a 'Strategy against Thunder God' and give it to me?"

After a few dirty jokes, the two began to discuss serious matters.

Lei Dianzhen suddenly realized that it was clearly daytime, but Lin Qiu had come to the Pure Land.

Lin Qiu explained the situation to Miss M.

It turned out that there was news from Haigi Island. The residents of Haigi Island strongly agreed to hand over the snake bones to Lin Qiu for safekeeping, and the snake bone recycling plan could be carried out.

Along with the good news from Umijima, there was also bad news that arrived at the shogunate.

Also related to snake bones.

After the war, there were soldiers from the Tenryo magistrates and experts in studying demons stationed near the snake bones near Bayin Island, who were responsible for protecting the snake bones from being mined by the Fatui.

However, just a few days ago, these soldiers and experts disappeared, and it was rumored that the Fatui were responsible.

But rumors are just rumors after all. Bayun Island is so chaotic that there are many possibilities of accidents.

It could be a monster strengthened by the evil spirit, it could be a bandit like the sea ghost, or it could be a spiritual pollution caused by the evil spirit that led to the killing of each other...

Lin Qiu planned to do both of these things, recovering the bones of Orobas while searching for the missing Tianling soldiers and technicians.

The reason why he came to Pure Land so early in the morning was because after being away from the castle tower, Miss M would not be able to give on-site guidance to her sister, so he wanted to take this opportunity to ask clearly whether Miss M had anything else to tell Aying about the recent plan for governing the country.

What's more, the situation in Inazuma has been relatively stable recently, and Aying has been studying for so long that he can try to become an independent ruler and guard the castle tower.

As for Lin Qiu, with his ability, it wouldn't take him long to recover the snake bones and investigate the disappearances. He would probably be able to catch the exciting stage of the battle for the heart when he returns.

At this moment, the system released a new pop-up window, and this was visible to others - the six beautiful girls participating in the competition, no matter where they were, at this moment, this real-time information appeared in front of them.

[Heart acquires new skill: Clone]

[Due to this skill, the heart will be divided into two, one part will remain in Inazuma Castle, and the other will go to the vicinity of the snake bones on Yayun Island at high speed. One of the two hearts is real, and the other is fake. Please distinguish them by yourself.]

Next, the message can only be seen by Lin Qiu and will not be shown in front of girls.

[In order to quickly increase the heart rate value, no matter whether the heart is real or fake, as long as it is attacked, Lin Qiu can gain heart rate value. There are only two differences between a fake heart and a real heart. First, the player will not win if he touches the fake heart; second, the fake heart will not be resurrected if it is destroyed.]

Miss M complained on the spot: "Now there is no need to rush back. Even if you stay on Bayun Island, you can still enjoy the exciting battle for the heart."

“I feel like if I let my heart grow, it will become stronger than me.” Lin Qiu rubbed his hair and complained, “I can’t even split myself, but my organs can!”

Chapter 87 Assassinating Lin Qiu

Bidding farewell to Inazuma Castle temporarily, Lin Qiu set out on the journey to Yayun Island. He was escorted by a carriage team organized by Tenryo Bugyo, whose members were all elite warriors.

In the afternoon, the convoy arrived at the coastal area. The samurai loaded the luggage from the carriages onto the boat, left Narukami Island and sailed towards Kujo Jinya.

At night, we arrived at the Jiujiao Formation House.

Due to the special circumstances, the missing persons needed to be found as quickly as possible, so there was only half an hour of rest time, and then we rushed to Bayun Island overnight.

The samurai moved the luggage from the ship back to land, used the resources of Kujo Jinya to reorganize the carriage team, and then put the luggage into the carriages.

Once you've completed these, you're ready to go.

Lin Qiu, who had nothing to do, found a place outside the military camp to sit down and look up at the brilliant starry sky.

He knew that once he entered Bayun Island, there would be no stars to see, only thunder, lightning and heavy rain.

Kujo Sara came to him and handed Lin Qiu a piece of compressed dry food. He took the food without hesitation and started chewing it.

After delivering the food, Sara wanted to take her own portion and eat somewhere else, but Lin Qiu patted the empty space beside him and motioned for General Kujo to sit here.

Sara obeyed the order.

Sara is the guard provided by the shogunate for Hayashi. According to normal procedures, the higher the status of a person, the higher the level of guards he is assigned. For someone of Hayashi's level, no one except the shogunate's general can take on the position. This is also the rather rigid aspect of the Inazuma people.

After all, if the person being protected is stronger than the bodyguard, the role of the bodyguard becomes weak and may even be a hindrance. It is better to use him as a maid.

"The cookies taste good." Lin Qiu commented.

"This is the dry food you left on the horse to 'compensate' for me when you fled Narukami Island with Miss Kamisato." Kujo Sara said frankly, then she stuffed her biscuit into her mouth depressedly and chewed it hard.

"Ah, so that's how it is." Lin Qiu finished a few mouthfuls of his compressed dry food and patted the residue on his hands. "Now it's you and I heading to Bayun Island."

"I will complete the escort mission well." Sara said after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"I guess you have a hidden mission, right? Even if the general didn't tell you, the fox would tell you," Lin Qiu said with a smile, "It's also very important to confirm whether the heart of Bayun Island is real or fake!"

Kujo Sara shook his head and said, "No, I have discussed with the General and the Palace Master that whether the heart of Baying Island is real or fake, we should ignore it for now. Wait until you recover the snake bones of the evil god and Baying Island returns to peace."

This is indeed the safest way. After all, each contestant has a special status, and it is not a big deal for them to run around on an island full of curses.

Suddenly, a small grass slime bounced in front of the two people. The smart slime realized that these two guys were not easy to deal with, so it turned around and jumped away.

"They let the monsters get so close to the barracks." Kujo Sara stood up, "The soldiers on patrol today need to increase their training."

"That's understandable. Grass slimes are good at stealth. It's normal that the soldiers didn't notice them at night." Lin Qiu disagreed. "If it was a fire slime that was obvious from a distance and would pose a threat to the military camp, it would be a serious crime if they didn't notice it."

"Nevertheless, patrol soldiers must remain vigilant," said Saro. "There is news that the remnants of the Fatui are trying to assassinate you in revenge for the Executor."

"Just assassinate me." Lin Qiu still didn't care. "You also know that I can't die now."

"That's true, but it concerns the reputation of the Tenryo Bugyo. If they succeed, the Tenryo Bugyo will lose face!" Kujo Sara said seriously, "Many samurai involved in the protection work will be held accountable, which is something I don't want to see."

If it was Quansheng Linqiu, Sha Luo would not care about this problem at all. After all, the remaining Fatui had no means to kill Quansheng Linqiu, so there was no need to worry.

But the situation is different now. Lin Qiu has activated a special state: "Undead Adventurer".

With a heavy frontal bombardment, there would be a chance to kill him, and Sara knew this.

Even though one can be resurrected after death, the mere fact of a successful assassination can make a big deal. Sara must ensure Lin Qiu's safety, or at least prevent him from dying at the hands of the Fatui.

After listening to Sha Luo's emotional and logical advice, Lin Qiu felt that it made sense. He picked up the stone beside him and began to draw runes on it.

This was Lin Qiu's newly learned tracking Yin-Yang technique. He set his target as any creature nearby who was not wearing the uniform of the Tenryo Bugyo Army, except for himself and Kujo Sara.

"If there is no intruder, it won't move." Lin Qiu explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, the completed rune stone started moving. Lin Qiu and Sha Luo followed immediately, but they didn't expect the rune stone to fly near their carriage.

The glowing stone crashed into a freight carriage, targeting a huge wooden box used to store clothes, and then the rune stone stuck to the surface of the box and stopped moving.

The rune stone is flashing, indicating that the creature inside can control elemental forces and is quite dangerous.

"My lords, what happened?" asked the warrior leader who didn't know the truth.

"It's not a big deal." Lin Qiu said lightly, "There are creatures in the box, and they are dangerous creatures that can use elemental power."

The warriors nearby were terrified. They were responsible for protecting Lin Qiu's safety, but they actually let assassins or monsters hide in the luggage. It was simply unforgivable!

"Hurry, take out the things in the box!" the warrior leader shouted.

Immediately afterwards, several soldiers armed with spears approached the large wooden box, ready to pierce the box with their weapons and kill the assassin hiding inside.

"Don't move, there are Lord Lin's clothes inside!" The leader of the warriors stopped him, "Pull the assassin out without damaging the clothes!"

"That's too dangerous." Lin Qiu rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, "Let me handle it."

"No, no, no, that's too dangerous for you!" The leader of the warriors hurriedly stopped Lin Qiu, "And if anything happens to you, I'll be in danger too."

The samurai leader did not want to commit seppuku to apologize.

Lin Qiu had no choice but to say, “Forget about the clothes, just pierce the box with the spear.”

Just as the soldiers were preparing to act, a woman's voice was heard from the box.

"Wait, wait, don't do it! I was wrong, I surrender! I will come out by myself!"

Although the sound was a bit muffled through the lid of the box, Lin Qiu felt that the sound was very familiar.

There's a Toosaka Rin in the box, no kidding!

He ignored the warriors' attempts to stop him, ordered the soldiers to step back, and went to the box and opened it with his own hands.

The person who came out of the box was a young girl with blonde ponytail, wearing bright clothes and bandages. Even if you don't look at her face and only look at her clothes, you can recognize her identity.

Xiao Palace!

Kujo Saro was stunned. She couldn't understand why. Logically, shouldn't Xiao Gong be in Inazuma Castle preparing fireworks for the summer festival, or helping Ling Hua find her heart? How did she appear in a suitcase that might contain an assassin?

Lin Qiu was equally puzzled and asked half-jokingly, "Are you the assassin sent by the Fatui?"

Chapter 88 Eat my tiller!

"How could I be a killer? I'm the children's hero form, Sister Xiao Gong!" The blonde girl defended herself with her hands on her hips, and then said embarrassedly, "Of course, I'm still not as good as the great hero Lin Qiu, haha..."

"So what's going on?" Kujo Sara asked helplessly.

At present, Sha Luo can only guess that in order to determine whether the heart on Baying Island is real or fake, Xiao Gong disguised himself as a luggage and tried to sneak into Baying Island.

General Kujo felt extremely exhausted. A few seconds ago, she actually thought there was an assassin.

However, Xiao Gong's answer was beyond Sha Luo's expectation. The blonde girl confessed: "I'm very sorry for sneaking into the suitcase and scaring everyone - I had to do this because I wanted to go to Bayun Island to save people. I promised someone!"

Sara was confused for a moment.

Save people? The fireworks maker went to the cursed island to save people?

"Time, place, people, cause, process, result - please repeat it according to this template." Lin Qiu also didn't understand the situation, and blinked his red eyes in confusion, "Why save people, who to save, who did you promise?"

"Sorry, I didn't explain it clearly just now. Let me explain it again." Xiao Gong explained seriously, "Among the children I often play with, there is a child whose parents are adventurers. They were hired by the shogunate to investigate snake bones..."

Lin Qiu suddenly realized and continued, "And then they all disappeared, right?"

"Yes, yes, that child is very sad. There are rumors that the Fatui have kidnapped the investigator, and a heart has appeared on Baying Island. I decided to follow you there secretly to see if I can help." Xiao Gong said it clearly in one go.

Kujo Sara was slightly displeased: "The shogunate will handle this matter, and the public does not need to intervene. Next, I will send someone to send you back to Narukami Island."

"But I have already promised the child, and I heard that the Bayun Island is seriously polluted by the evil spirits. Some areas are difficult to travel without the Eye of God." Xiao Gong tried hard to seize the opportunity, "Even among the Tianling Fengxing, there are not many people who have the Eye of God, right? I can help a lot!"

"I refuse!" Kujo Sara insisted, "I can't let innocent people get involved in this."

Just as Sara was about to grab the lid of the box and push Xiaogong back into it, Lin Qiu reached out to stop her.
