When time is paused, General Tengu's posture is that of a bow drawn to its full extent and ready to release.

"The cold land, huh, is better than the polluted Eternal Land!" an Ice Firefly Warlock retorted, "Polluted land breeds polluted people."

All around her were ice fireflies suspended in mid-air.

Xiao Gong was dissatisfied with this: "A place like yours can't even hold a summer festival, and even the fireworks are frozen and can't be set off. You have no right to laugh at Inazuma!"

Xiao Gong also paused in the archery action. Unlike Sara's charged arrows, she had two rapidly shot fire arrows in front of her, slowly moving forward.

"You are still trying to gain the upper hand with your words. You will be in trouble soon!" A hidden mirror lady who was in a swaying state said bluntly, "Although I don't know why time has slowed down, it is only delaying your death!"

“That’s right!” The Lightning Warlock continued to stumble. If Lin Qiu hadn’t stopped time, she would have definitely fallen flat on her face. But at least now she could still shout, “Our leader will hold your great hero’s head in your hands later…”

Halfway through his speech, the Thunder Firefly Warlock became speechless.

Lin Qiu dragged the unconscious debt collector to the ground and threw him in front of the two motionless teams. He asked the Fatui, "Is this your leader? It's a pity that my head is still attached to my body."

The Fatui who launched the charge were shocked. Their carefully planned decapitation operation had failed!

Although blood continued to seep out of Lin Qiu's chest, he was still alive and kicking, and was dragging his leader, who looked not in good condition, with his hands. The battle situation was obvious.

The fools were talking about it.

"Why are you still alive!"

"The leader can't possibly lose!"

"You monster!"

Lin Qiu replied leisurely: "The answer is simple. Although my body has become weaker, I use exquisite Yin-Yang magic to defeat the enemy."

(Raiden Shin: This is not Yin-Yang magic at all!)

The warriors collectively cheered for Lin Qiu's victory. In shock, the Fatui members were like stray dogs, all of them hung their heads in disappointment.

Lin Qiu used a dry branch to knock down the flying objects between the two sides, and announced at the same time: "I will cancel the time slowdown. If you dare to move, flames will erupt under your feet - that is the level of the Flame Witch, no, it is far better than the Flame Witch's flame!"

The Fatui killers swallowed nervously.

"Countdown." Lin Qiu said as if announcing fate, "3,2,1, , , release."

The Fatui members were very obedient, and none of them made any unnecessary movements, except for the Firefly Warlock who was tripped by some debris and fell flat on his face.

The warriors quickly stepped forward and subdued the assassins, thus declaring the assassination a failure.

……

It was late at night, the fire was almost out, and the narrow road was filled with smoke.

While the warriors were busy organizing their troops, Lin Qiu, leaning on a dry branch, slowly walked to a secluded corner.

He picked up the dagger that the debt collector had dropped, pointed it at his left chest and prepared to stab it.

"What are you doing, great hero?" Sara spotted him and asked.

"Nothing. Don't think I looked so impressive just now. Actually, my lungs were pierced by the fragments of the Ruins Guard, and my mobility has been greatly reduced." Lin Qiu coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth again, and explained slowly, "If I die, I can be resurrected with full health, so as not to delay the trip. I can understand that I can't be assassinated by the Fatui, but I can commit suicide in the corner."

Sara fell into deep thought.

If the Fatui succeeded in their assassination, even if Lin Qiu could be resurrected with full health, it would still be a huge blow to morale, not to mention that someone would be punished for it. After all, the Inazuma people are very rigid in some aspects and they only act and think according to fixed rules and are not very flexible.

But suicide is not a problem, even in a deserted corner. As long as you announce to the outside world that Lin Qiu has restored his health using healing magic, the matter will be over.

In fact, as the shogunate's general, Kujo Sara was a representative figure who was inflexible. She was not good at lying and was a little conflicted when faced with this situation.

Suicide is indeed not considered assassination, but my mission is to ensure that Lin Qiu is safe and sound. However, Lin Qiu is no longer safe and sound now. Only suicide can restore the original state, but my mission is to ensure that Lin Qiu is not harmed...

Saragenzhi's CPU is about to burn out.

"Miss Sha Luo, please be flexible and don't stick to the rigid and harsh rules." Lin Qiu held the dagger in his hand and waited for his companion's opinion. "As long as you agree, I can recover immediately and we can set off quickly."

Sara was still hesitating, she was thinking.

Rather than rigid rules, flexibility is the key. Tengu, a monster, is a creature that can fly nimbly in the mountains and forests. However, it has limited itself to certain self-restrictions, and these are meaningless self-restrictions, which is really inappropriate.

Kujo Sara breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kill yourself, Linqiu," said Saura, "and I will witness your rebirth."

"If you keep saying such serious things, you may have to witness this many times!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qiu stabbed the dagger into his left chest.

Both sides fell into silence. Lin Qiu coughed up blood, but he was still alive.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that my heart isn't in my chest, but is wandering around outside. I can't die like this."

He pulled out the dagger, opened his mouth, aimed the dagger at the little tongue, and stabbed it hard.

30 seconds of advertising time.

Chapter 91: Goal: Destroy the Fatui

At the same time that Lin Qiu stabbed himself and was reborn, Xiao Gong, who was hiding behind a large rock not far away, witnessed everything.

In fact, before Lin Qiu found a remote place to commit suicide to recover his health, he found the lively Xiao Gong, handed her the fly swatter, and asked her to slap the buttocks of the female soldiers of the Fatui.

The reason for doing this is that he doesn't want Xiao Gong to see his true injuries and feel guilty.

After all, he was seriously injured because he blocked the explosion for Xiao Gong and Sara. Although he appeared to be alive and kicking, his lungs were actually riddled with holes.

Unfortunately, Xiao Gong was not so easily fooled. She used a fly swatter to swatter the Cangjing Lady, the Leiying Sorcerer, and the Bingying Sorcerer. She was curious about where Lin Qiu had gone.

She found Lin Qiu and hid behind a rock. After listening to the conversation between Lin Qiu and Sha Luo, Xiao Gong was still shocked and blamed herself even though she knew that Lin Qiu could be resurrected.

When the ruins guard exploded, Lin Qiu had clearly created two rock element shields. If she had not insisted on following, Lin Qiu would not have been injured so badly.

In that case, the shield can cover Linqiu and Sara, and there is no need to worry about the third person.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing more to say. I have already been involved and this has happened.

All Xiao Gong could do was to find a way to repay Lin Qiu for saving his life - but it was not so easy to repay a life-saving favor, and Xiao Gong had no idea how to repay him.

Will I take the blame for Lin Qiu in the future and repay him in kind?

If he died, he would not be able to be resurrected. A great hero certainly would not want this to happen. Thinking of this, Xiao Gong became conflicted.

But she is not a stubborn person like Sha Luo, she is a cheerful girl next door. Xiao Gong put this question aside for the time being and think about it slowly later.

There is still a long way to go, and we can always find ways to repay our gratitude.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu survived.

Although Lin Qiu's resurrection was inevitable, Xiao Gong behind the stone couldn't help but smile brightly when she saw this scene, even she didn't notice it.

……

Although the explosion was very violent and the flames were terrifying, the Shogunate warriors were indeed elite.

The most seriously injured warrior only had broken hands and feet and was not in danger of death.

After all, the other Ruins Guards were just smashing things randomly, and only the Ruins Guard given to Lin Qiu was specifically aimed at the luxurious carriage that Lin Qiu was riding in the center of the team. Moreover, instead of jumping out of the car, his first reaction was to stand in front of the Sarasha Palace, so he was blown into this state.

As for the coachman who drove the car for Lin Qiu and the others, this guy reacted quickly and jumped out of the car at a very fast speed. Apart from a broken arm, he had no other injuries.

Sara sent a letter to Kujo Jinya via carrier pigeon, requesting for reinforcements.

Taking advantage of the time to reorganize, Lin Qiu, who has been revived with full health, is ready to ask the Fatui about the causes and consequences of this assassination.

Lin Qiu used healing magic to wake up the debt collector, who was the leader of the assassination.

"You bastard." The debt collector cursed weakly, "Don't even think of making me say anything!"

Lin Qiu opened the poor people's eyes, making it easier for them to see through their lies during interrogation.

"I have a lot of questions for you, so let's get to the point." Lin Qiu threatened with a smile, "You have 53 subordinates in total. I will kill one for every 10 seconds you remain silent. I will also kill one if you tell a lie."

The poor man's insight can not only see through the other party's lies, but also see through the other party's weaknesses. The officer in front of him is very good to his subordinates. This can be seen from the fact that even though the subordinates are restricted in their actions by the stagnation of time, they still firmly believe that the officer can defeat Lin Qiu.

This kind of trust cannot be formed if it does not come from respect.

"Just try to touch them!" As Lin Qiu expected, the debt collector started to get anxious, "I will definitely chop off your head and kick it like a ball."

"From now on, I'll add one more condition: I'll kill you if you swear." Lin Qiu raised the corner of his mouth and added, "I'll also kill you if I hear useless nonsense."

The debt collector was silent.

"First question." Lin Qiu began to ask, "You are the supreme commander of this assassination? How did you know that I became weak?"

The elite Fatui were quite smart. Although they were dizzy after being hit by a weakened version of Avada Kedavra, the debt collectors quickly came up with a solution.

The debt collector planned to remain silent for 7 or 8 seconds, and then tell a half-true and half-false news, so that he could mislead Lin Qiu and save his subordinates' lives.

"I am the commander of this operation." The debt collector pretended to be unappreciative and explained slowly, "The news of your death in the magistrate's office was spread by a gossipy shogunate soldier, so we made this assassination plan."

He was still smug: a stupid hero who would surely be deceived by his own vivid acting skills.

"I see. I basically understand what happened." Lin Qiu analyzed slowly, "You are not the highest commander of the assassination operation. You have a superior. But the news that I fell in the magistrate's office was indeed spread by the gossipy shogunate soldiers."

The debt handler's eyes widened. He was surprised to find that the other party had actually filtered out all of his lies and accurately analyzed the truth among them.

How is it possible! My lying skills, which were specially trained and the result of winter psychology, were easily cracked.

No, it must be a coincidence.

However, Lin Qiu's behavior shattered his guess.

"Since you only told half the truth, I will kill half of your men." Lin Qiu ordered the general next to him, "Sara, grab any Fatui and chop him in half, but save the lower half."

There is a bit of black humor in it.

The debt collector's psychological defenses were gradually broken, and he even begged Lin Qiu for mercy. Finally, Lin Qiu decided to give him a chance to see how this guy would perform next.

Under the influence of the poor's knowledge, the debt handler could not lie at all, and eventually the debt collector told Lin Qiu almost all the information he knew.

It turns out that there are still remnants of the Fatui hiding on Bayun Island, and they seem to be studying snake bones and earth veins. The missing Tianling Bugeng and researchers were all captured by the Fatui.

The leader of this group of guys is certainly not a debt collector, but he is not an executive officer either. Now there is no executive officer stationed in Inazuma - they were all killed by Lin Qiu.

The leader is a scientific researcher of the Fatui, who seems to be a disciple of the Executive Doctor. No one knows that guy's name, only that he is code-named "Master".

Hearing this, Lin Qiu thought to himself: Are there still postgraduate students and bachelor's students...

It is said that this "Master" is equivalent to a quasi-executive officer. As long as the Doctor has an accident, or dies or goes missing, the Master can become an executive officer.

Lin Qiu complained in his heart: The number of slices made by the doctor is a bit too much, and nothing will happen at the moment. It seems that this master's degree student will never be able to continue his studies in this life.

"The situation is getting more and more complicated, great hero, what are you going to do?" Kujo Sara asked, "For the sake of prudence, let's go back and discuss it."

"No, wait for reinforcements to arrive, replace the wounded, and continue to advance towards Baying Island." Lin Qiu was still in high spirits, "Goal, wipe out the remaining Fatui!"

Chapter 92 Transformation with a Belt

The Fatui assassin was taken away by the support that came from Jiujo Jinya. After a brief rest, Lin Qiu continued on his journey to Bayin Island.

In this way, they passed through the middle of the road and arrived at the thundering and lightning-filled Bayun Island in the early morning of the next day.

The difference is that at this time, Lin Qiu’s exclusive carriage has lost its previous liveliness.

The previous attack was like a thorn that pierced deeply into Kujo Sara's heart. She no longer joined in the conversation but instead looked out the window vigilantly to avoid similar incidents from happening again.

Although according to the debt collector's confession, the assassin team was wiped out in this battle and no other Fatui would come to assassinate Lin Qiu for the time being, and the poor man's knowledge also confirmed that this was true, but Sara was still not at ease.

If it had been any other time, and Lin Qiu had died in front of her, Sara wouldn't have had too much emotion, after all, Lin Qiu had already performed seppuku once, and he could be resurrected infinitely.

However, now, Sara's "mission" is to protect Lin Qiu, and therein lies the problem. General Kujo's thinking is too rigid. Even if she is protecting someone who can be resurrected forever, she will still complete the mission diligently and responsibly to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Kujo Sara had such a character.

But not long ago, she was protected by the target of her escort, a situation that the diligent and rigid-minded Sara could not accept.

Kujo Sara swore to himself: He must step up defenses, not let Lin Qiu have any more accidents, and not let him commit suicide in front of him again!

At the same time, the guilt of failing to complete the task continued to torment her.

Logically speaking, this deadlock should be broken by Xiao Gong, but the blonde girl from the fireworks shop, who was originally optimistic and cheerful, is now unusually silent.

Xiao Gong was also troubled by self-blame. If she hadn't come with him, Lin Qiu's shield could have been put on himself and Sha Luo, and they wouldn't have been riddled with holes by shrapnel.

Xiao Gong didn't care that much about Lin Qiu's "death". Death meant eternal separation, but Lin Qiu was sitting next to him now, alive and well, which was equivalent to not being dead.

What Xiao Gong blamed herself for was her self-righteous actions, which brought pain to the hero (shrapnel penetrated his lungs and he had to commit suicide to recover to full health). Although the hero, who had long been accustomed to pain, didn't care at all, Xiao Gong couldn't get over it.

Unlike Sha Luo, who had a clear goal and was determined to protect Lin Qiu, Xiao Gong had no idea how he could compensate Lin Qiu.

She was confused.
