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

When Lin Qiu heard the news that someone was impersonating him and doing evil everywhere, his first reaction was not anger, but joy. A good idea came to his mind.

As long as the impostor is caught, all the serious crimes that the impostor has committed in the past, such as stealing imperial food, can be pinned on the impostor, and then the ties with him can be settled in justice.

In this way, he would be able to become innocent without even bothering the Son of God for help.

And as Thomas said, the expedition team was composed entirely of women, which Lin Qiu cared about very much. Perhaps in the process of catching the counterfeits, he could even make a lot of raw stones.

"Thomas, what else do you know about the punitive team?" Lin Qiu asked.

"Although they are called a punitive team, they are not that formal. There are only three people in total." Thomas answered, "But they are all quite famous in Inazuma Castle. They are Naganohara Yomiya from the fireworks store, Kuki Shinobu from the Aratake faction, and Kirara Ryo who delivers the courier."

Among these three people, Lin Qiu and Xiao Gong are not very familiar with each other, but the other two are old acquaintances.

The first one is Kuki Shinobu. Lin Qiu harasses Kujo Sara as a source of raw stone income. It just so happens that there is a guy in Inazuma Castle who doesn't get along with Sara, Arata Ito.

Following Brother Douzi, he went hungry nine times out of three days and was often beaten up by Sha Luo and sent to jail. But for Lin Qiu, who was in urgent need of raw stones, he never got tired of it.

Because of this, every time Jiuqi Shinobu came to rescue Yidou, he would rescue Lin Qiu as well. Over time, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Since Shinobu Kuki would join the expedition team, it was proof enough that the crimes committed by the impostor were so numerous that she had to put aside the trivial matters of the Arotaki sect and come to catch him.

The second conqueror was Qiliangliang.

If the main source of stones is Kujo Sara, then the raw stones of Kirara are like "change". Whenever you see them, you can use them to brush them.

For example, when Qi Liangliang was busy delivering a package, Lin Qiu would smear catnip all over his body and run to her, holding a cat toy to attract her attention and make her forget the work at hand.

Qi Liangliang finally reacted and realized that time was running out, so he left a few cat paw marks on Lin Qiu's face and hurriedly continued to work.

As we all know, playing with cats frequently is good for physical and mental health, and you can also make money by earning raw stones, so why not do it?

Because of this, even if there were no imposters doing evil everywhere, if someone proposed to form a punitive team, Qiliangliang would probably sign up actively.

After all, the guy who disturbs her work all day long is the ultimate villain to her!

The last one is Xiao Gong.

Lin Qiu guessed that she was the organizer of the expedition.

A warm, kind, lively and cheerful girl, if she finds bad guys in the city, she will take positive actions to defend the city she loves, even though it is still the Eye Hunting Order period.

Unfortunately, he and Xiao Gong are not very familiar with each other. Xiao Gong is the child king of Inazuma Castle, and Lin Qiu is the child king of Konda Village. The two sides have basically no intersection.

As for why there are only three people in the expedition team, it is possible that these two teammates are the few fighting forces that Xiao Palace can find.

Nowadays, the Eye Hunting Order is strictly enforced. Even if one has the Eye of God, they will just keep it to themselves and hide. Not many people would do such a thankless task.

And now, if he goes to Inazuma Castle, he will face the fate of being attacked by them.

I feel a little excited when I think about it.

It was not because of the beating they received, but because of the raw stone. The weight of the raw stone gave people peace of mind.

"Where are the places where counterfeit goods are most frequently found in the past three days?" he asked.

"It's the wild during the day and Hanamizaka at night," Thomas answered truthfully.

It seems that not only can we find the imposter in Hanamizaka tonight, but we can also meet the three girls from the subjugation team.

happy.

"Ms. Linghua, you stay in Kamisato House and wait for my good news." Lin Qiu used his toes to pick up the spear on the ground and caught it skillfully. He turned around and left while muttering to himself, "Tonight, I will definitely return with a full load."

Kamisato Ayaka and Thomas thought he was talking about catching the counterfeit, but in fact, he meant returning with a full load of raw stones - and of course, bringing the counterfeit to justice as well.

……

Hanamizaka, the bustling street of Inazuma Castle.

Even when night falls, the lights from thousands of houses make this place still as bright as day, and shops of all sizes are bustling with business, making it like a mini Liyue Harbor.

He tore off a wanted poster of himself from a roadside wall, looked at the front and back, and complained to the portrait on the wanted poster: "Who?"

There were very few shogunate soldiers who had seen Lin Qiu's face, and Kujo Sara was one of them. Unfortunately, her talent for painting was close to zero, and she was unable to depict Lin Qiu's face on paper.

Sara could only describe the scene and have professionals draw the image of Linqiu. The final result was very different from what Sara wanted to express, so the wanted poster looked like this.

Compared to the portrait, some of the descriptions are more threatening, such as handsome appearance, often carrying a long gun, ragged clothes, and liking to get close to beautiful women...

Fortunately, before entering Inazuma Castle, he had already put his weapons into the system warehouse, so there was one less identifiable mark and he could take them out on the spot when needed.

10 raw stones are just 10 raw stones. Compared with what I’m going to earn tonight, it’s just a drop in the bucket.

As for the issue of appearance, it is equivalent to non-existent. It is impossible for Tianling Bugei to arrest all the handsome men in the country. What is the Yan Shouling?

His originally worn-out clothes had long been changed out at Kamisato's house, and his current blue-green outfit was quite similar to the style of Ayato's brother-in-law, and did not match the wanted poster.

Therefore, he can now be a little more arrogant and walk on the streets openly, as long as he avoids acquaintances.

Soon, Lin Qiu felt something strange: the descriptions on the wanted poster all matched his own, but there was no information about the counterfeit mixed in. What was going on?

There is a date on the wanted poster, and it was updated today, but there is no information about the counterfeit at all.

There are only two possibilities.

First, Tianling's officer was too incompetent. In just three days, he was unable to obtain any information about the counterfeit goods.

Second, there is no such thing as a fake. Those vicious crimes were all staged and directed by Tianling Fengxing against Ronin Linqiu...

Lin Qiu would not be surprised if the current shogunate did such a thing.

If it is really as I guessed, why would Tianling Bugxing do such a childish thing? It is like an act of revenge. Is there any practical significance in doing this?

It was still early and the counterfeits probably wouldn't show up, so Lin Qiu walked into a izakaya.

He asked the boss to warm up two bowls of wine and ordered a plate of fennel beans. He found a place to sit down and continued to observe the wanted poster in his hand and think about the anomaly in it.

"Oh? Are you also tracking down the evil thief Lin Qiu?"

A strange male voice came from behind. Lin Qiu put the wanted poster on the table and turned to look.

The young man who spoke to him was wearing an orange kimono and a stylish blue scarf with white stripes. His light yellow hair was neither long nor short, and was tied casually and fluffy at the back of his head.

The young man was holding a little white cat in his arms.

The cute little guy didn't seem to like Lin Qiu very much and kept breathing at him with his mouth open.

Chapter 10 Manyo and Chuuni Friends

Looks familiar! Very familiar!

The moment he saw the blond young man, the only thing that came to Lin Qiu's mind was "looks familiar", but he couldn't immediately remember this guy's name.

Oh, I remembered it.

Aren’t you a friend of Manye?

For the peace of Inazuma and the people, and also to witness the god's sword, he challenged Kujo Sara to a duel in front of the emperor, but was defeated by Sara and killed by General Raiden.

But his sacrifice was not in vain. His spirit planted seeds deep in Manye's heart, and eventually sprouted into the legend of a man blocking the blade of God with a human body.

And at this moment, in front of him was a living Manyo friend. How rare!

Lin Qiu tried his best to control his expression and calmly asked, "Yes, I am a bounty hunter who specializes in catching serious criminals. This time I have set my sights on the evil thief Lin Qiu. Are you also a hunter and want to compete with me for the prey?"

The young man held his forehead with one hand, lifted up his clothes elegantly, and sat down opposite Lin Qiu.

"Oh, I am not a person who pursues fame or money. I catch evil thieves only for the sake of 'righteousness' - this is a great mission bestowed upon me by heaven, and this is the choice of fate!"

Looking at the other party's exaggerated movements and pretentious way of speaking, Lin Qiu was silent for a few seconds. His CPU finally resumed operation and analyzed the composition of Wan Ye's best friend.

It turns out this guy has a second-year syndrome!

He has a cool and cool face, but his soul is so interesting, which makes Lin Qiu a little difficult to adapt to.

It’s not that Lin Qiu is not good at getting along with people with chuunibyou. Even a free-spirited red devil like Dou Zi-ge can be happily teamed up with him to do things.

The problem is that in Lin Qiu's impression, the image of Manyo's friend is not very complete, and it is mostly completed by his own imagination. However, judging from the image and actions of the friend, he seems to be a handsome, bold and determined warrior.

And the guy in front of me... is a bit tense.

But if you think about it carefully, there is really not much difference in essence. He is a good young man with a sense of justice and lofty ideals.

"Hiss, hiss——"

The little white cat was still breathing towards Lin Qiu.

The young man hurriedly hid the cat in his clothes and said soothingly, "Quiet, Shigemaru. As a ferocious beast from the abyss, you are not allowed to unleash the power of the underworld here!"

Lin Qiu's facial expression management has become chaotic: not to mention why the cat was named a knife, and you hurriedly hid the cat in your clothes, not because you were afraid that it would release the "power of the underworld", but because you were afraid that the izakaya owner would find out that you brought a pet into the store!

Lin Qiu shook his head, gave up thinking about the future, and focused on the present.

Lin Qiu looked at his friend in Manye and continued to consolidate his fake persona as a bounty hunter: "Since you just want to arrest the evil thief Lin Qiu and don't want to compete with me for the bounty, I think we can cooperate, such as exchanging information with each other."

Although this guy is a bit immature, being immature doesn't mean he has no ability. Maybe I can get information about the counterfeit from him and prepare for the arrest later.

Lin Qiu already had a premonition that this place would be as chaotic as hell tonight.

Himself, the subjugation team formed by beautiful girls, Manyo friends, Tenryo Bugyo, imposters - a multi-party melee, the entire Hanamizaka is in chaos!

So take advantage of now to get more information, so as to avoid losing more than you gain.

"If you can provide help, I would like to tell you what I know." Just as Manyo's friend was about to say something, the door of the izakaya was pushed open.

"Sorry, I'm late." A young man with light hair, pigtails and red eyes pushed the door open, apologized to his best friend, and sat on the chair next to him.

Lin Qiu's premonition was correct. The middle school boy did not come hunting alone. He brought a helper with him, his good friend, the fallen nobleman Inazuma, Kaedehara Manye.

"The number of hunters has increased again." Lin Qiu said helplessly.

"Who is this?" Wan Ye was a little confused.

"I'm just an ordinary bounty hunter. I had a chat with your friend about the wanted order." Talking to Chuunibyou was tiring, so Lin Qiu turned to Manye directly. "It seems that we have a common goal. May I ask what your names are?"

Of course Lin Qiu knew Wan Ye. He just wanted to learn the name of his mysterious friend from Wan Ye. He had been concerned about this for a long time.

"I am Fengyuan Manye, a wanderer with no fixed place to live." Manye went on to introduce, "He is my friend, his name is..."

"My friend, have you forgotten that I have abandoned my name?" Chuunibyou stopped him.

Lin Qiu:?

Manye sighed.

After Manye's hard explanation, Lin Qiu understood the reason and gave up asking for the real name of the second friend.

It turned out that this guy firmly believed that the rise and fall of the country was the responsibility of the warriors. He took the initiative to abandon his name and swore that as long as Inazuma did not restore peace, he would not take back his real name.

At least, the Death Note can't kill you... Lin Qiu complained silently.

Lin Qiu was silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, since you are Mr. Fengyuan's friend, it should be okay for me to just call you friend, right?"

"No, it's too ordinary." said Chuunibyou.

Lin Qiu corrected him, "Then add a suffix, Friend A, it sounds much better."

"Well, adding an A does sound a lot cooler." Chuunibyou muttered to himself and agreed, "This title is okay and suitable as a code name for a warrior."

How can it be suitable? As the one who came up with the name, Lin Qiu himself didn’t quite believe it.

Wan Ye and his friends seemed to believe Lin Qiu's fake identity. They also knew that the bounty hunter was afraid of being hunted for revenge and would not easily reveal his name, so they did not ask his name.

This made it convenient for Lin Qiu as he didn't need to make up a fake name.

The three of them exchanged information while sipping sake, but contrary to their expectations, there was no news about the counterfeit from Manye, so Lin Qiu could only look for it on his own.

However, seeing the hot wine on the table, Lin Qiu came up with an idea. He decided to let Wan Ye and A go offline temporarily and withdraw from the stage tonight to avoid the scene being too chaotic.

"Don't you think the appetizers are a bit bland?" He grabbed the fennel beans and threw them into his mouth, chewing them tastelessly, and then suggested, "I have some delicious food that is suitable for drinking."

He opened his collar and took out a plate of Mapo Tofu. The red oil on the surface of the tofu was even a bit blindingly red, which was enough to prove its extraordinary spiciness.

All items obtained through the lottery will be placed in the system warehouse first. The time in the system warehouse is equivalent to being still, and the food will not spoil or rot.

Moreover, the first time the item is taken out, the original stone will not be consumed. This is the only mercy shown by the unscrupulous merchant's warehouse.

The key to Lin Qiu's plan is Mapo Tofu.

He knew that Manye and A-san, like himself, came to the izakaya to have a few drinks and kill time, and when Hanamizaka became completely quiet, they would set out to capture the evil thief.

Now, if they are invited to eat Mapo Tofu, the Inazuma people who cannot bear the spiciness of Sichuan cuisine will definitely drink slightly sweet sake to relieve the spiciness, which is exactly what Lin Qiu wants.

Under the influence of the spiciness, the two of them would drink too much without realizing it and pass out in the pub, and there would be two fewer guys participating in the melee at night.

Even if Wan Ye and the others were not greedy, they would definitely not feel comfortable in their stomachs after eating this plate of tofu. In any case, it would not affect their ability to collect raw stones and catch counterfeits.
