Even if Ganyu's disappearance has nothing to do with the Fatui, upon learning of this, Ye Lan must stop the Doctor's evil invention.
At the same time, the traveler, who was feeling uncomfortable, moved slightly again.
"What's wrong, the traveler who stopped the Whirlpool Demon?" Ye Lan asked, "You seem a little uncomfortable, are you hurt?"
"It's okay, I just got hurt above my thigh." Ying explained, "It's nothing serious, just a little uncomfortable."
Ye Lan thought quickly with her quick mind and roughly figured out what had happened.
The hero and the traveler had breakfast together. Under what circumstances would a man and a woman have breakfast together? Add to that the traveler's discomfort in the buttocks, and the rumors about the hero's affairs, and the truth of the matter becomes clear!
Obviously, she was wrong about everything.
Back to business, Ye Lan said to the intelligence dealer disguised as a vendor: "Pay more attention to the movements of the Fatui and the robots in the next few days."
"Okay!" the old intelligence dealer agreed, and then continued to steam the buns. It seems that he quite loves this side job that he uses for disguise.
Up to now, Lin Qiu has not talked about the plan that Hu Tao mentioned last night. So far, he has not thought of a more convenient and quicker way than this.
Therefore, Lin Qiu told Ye Lan and Ying about the good idea of the girl from the Hall of Rebirth.
"Pretending to be dead and sneaking into the Fatui Research Institute is indeed a good idea." Ye Lan praised, "As long as the pretended death is convincing enough, it can deceive the doctor."
This is a variant of the Trojan Horse. Lin Qiu does not need to go to great lengths to find the doctor's research institute. Instead, the doctor can invite Lin Qiu in himself.
"Then the question is, as a well-known hero, how can I pretend to be dead without arousing suspicion and then attract the attention of the Fatui?" Ye Lan asked.
"My skill in playing dead was perfect," Lin Qiu said. "No breathing, no heartbeat, no pulse."
Pretending to be dead? Really dead!
As long as you activate the immortal adventurer and stab him in the chest, it will be a perfect way to pretend to be dead.
Then he deliberately paused the commercial, waited for the doctor to send someone to move the body away, entered the laboratory, watched the 30-second commercial, and then made a scene in the laboratory.
Doc, I'm back from hell - something like that.
"So you have this ability, Turtle Breathing Technique? No, I can't do Turtle Breathing Technique!" Even the knowledgeable Liyue female agent was surprised by Lin Qiu's ability. "But I still have a question. As a great hero, what is the 'reason for your death'?"
Lin Qiu thought: This is indeed a problem.
Although the rumor that the great hero was about to die was still circulating in Liyue, Master Hu believed in the rumor and prepared a coffin in advance to warmly welcome Lin Qiu.
But if he died for no reason, it would probably arouse the doctor's suspicion and the plan would fail.
We must find a better reason that can deceive the wise doctor among the fools and make him believe that the great hero is dead and they can safely steal the body for experiments.
Just as Lin Qiu was about to discuss this issue with Ye Lan and Ying, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that Ling Hua and Shen Zi were standing not far away, carrying breakfast.
They were staring at the breakfast stall.
Come again? !
Counting the fact that I accidentally carried my sister Ying in my arms yesterday and was seen by them, and that I was entangled by the drunk Walnut in the alley and was seen by them, it happened again now...
It’s too frequent. It’s happened three times already. Three times, three times!
However, Shen Zi and Ling Hua did not come to say hello. They just left with their breakfast, leaving Lin Qiu with no chance.
Inherent time control!
……
Shen Zi and Ling Hua opened the door of the hotel room and saw Lin Qiu lying on the bed and stretching, as if he had just woken up to greet the breakfast they brought.
In fact, he said goodbye to Ye Lan and Sister Ying temporarily, then accelerated and ran all the way back.
He climbed up the wall that Ying had previously scratched, like a gecko, and entered the room through the window.
Seeing Lin Qiu lying on the bed, Pink Fox and Linghua narrowed their eyes.
Princess Bai Lu sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Mr. Lin, I don't mind changing a girl every day, but please don't treat us as fools..."
"Ayaka, be good. I won't lie to you next time." Lin Qiu reached out and touched Princess Bailu's head.
Ayaka doesn't care at all about my frequent interactions and close affection with girls, and she is even happy about it. She will take the initiative to help and enjoy it. So when something like this happens, all I have to do is touch her head and everything will be solved.
But the Son of God doesn't think so.
Yae Miyaji’s thought was: There are more women around Lin Qiu again, which is so troublesome.
At this moment, the Son of God remained silent, with an expression as if he had seen through everything, and his fox ears trembled, making Lin Qiu uncomfortable.
Is this to kill yourself, or to squeeze yourself...
Lin Qiu quickly changed the subject and brought the atmosphere back on track: "Come to think of it, I was just talking to them about serious matters, not about dating or anything like that. The problem now is that I want to sneak into the Fatui by pretending to be dead, but I don't have a good reason."
Shen Zi snorted and said, "Just punish him directly. Just announce to the public that the great hero has harmed too many girls, so he has a change of heart and committed suicide."
Lin Qiu fell silent.
Suicide, isn't that a bit too old-fashioned?
He obstructed the duel in front of the emperor and stabbed himself with the Death Thorn Spear; he activated the immortal adventurer and stabbed himself to recover blood; adding this now, that means he committed suicide three times, three times!
By now the Fatui must have realized that a great hero cannot die by committing suicide, so they will not be fooled and rob the coffin.
Moreover, he knew that these were just angry words spoken by the Son of God and had no reference value. If he wanted to pretend to be dead reasonably, he had to find a convincing reason.
how should I do it?
At this moment, Linghua thought of a solution and said to Lin Qiu with a smile: "Why not go find that Master Hu? She seems to be a very smart person. It was she who proposed the plan of pretending to be dead and sneaking into the research institute. She will definitely think of a good way to help Mr. Lin!"
"It is indeed a wise choice. After all, I spent money to purchase the services of the Wangsheng Hall. I pretended to be dead and deceived the Doctor and the Fatui. It is also an important part of the service. Of course, I have to let Hall Master Hu come up with advice. Only then will the money be worth it." Lin Qiu gave a thumbs up.
Kamisato Ayaka gave a thumbs-up in return.
Just like that, the three of them started heading towards the Hall of Rebirth, but before that, Lin Qiu wanted to go to the breakfast stall to find Ye Lan and Ying.
As a result, the stall owner said that they had left first and left a note, asking Lin Qiu to meet them somewhere in Liyue Port in the evening.
So now we can only go directly to the Hall of the Dead.
……
Hall of Rebirth.
There is a coffee table and several small benches on the open space in front of the door. A brown-haired man is sitting on the bench sipping tea carefully. He seems to be integrated into the hustle and bustle of the world, yet seems to have nothing to do with it. His temperament is very free and easy.
Lin Qiu certainly knew the man who was drinking tea in front of the Hall of Rebirth. After all, he was the God of Liyue. Although he had retired for many days, he should not be underestimated.
Seeing guests coming, Zhongli looked up and looked at them. At first he was observing the Son of God, but finally his gaze stopped on Lin Qiu, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
Chapter 113 Zhongli's eyes became sharp (4k)
Lin Qiu always felt that Zhongli looked at him strangely. There were many reasons for this, and he couldn't think of which one it was at the moment.
First of all, it might be the evil spirit in his body that attracted the attention of the Emperor.
Although Lin Qiu's way of canceling the transformation is to cancel the fusion absorption, separate the Orobas snake bone from his body and put it into his belt, the power of the demon will always remain in his blood and even his soul, so it has no actual effect, but it may be noticed by a strong person.
The remaining demonic aura on Lin Qiu's body is just like a "residual smell" and will not affect or pollute the surrounding environment and creatures, just like the lingering smell of barbecue on the body after attending a barbecue party.
At this moment, the Emperor's sharp eyes may have sensed the devil's aura on Lin Qiu, and he was judging Lin Qiu's character.
Of course, this may not be the case.
It has been a long time since the last transformation, and the remaining smell on Lin Qiu's body has almost dissipated, so it is reasonable that it is not noticed.
That's another reason.
Lin Qiu sent Hall Master Hu back in the middle of the night last night. At that time, the young Hall Master of the Wangsheng Hall was drunk and unconscious.
Although Mr. Zhong was not present when the person was sent back, he would definitely hear about it from other colleagues later - this might be the reason why he was observing Lin Qiu.
Just when Lin Qiu was about to say something, Zhongli spoke first: "My friend, can you sit down and have a cup of tea with me? Today's fragrant tea is worth a taste."
From a human perspective, Yae Godson is an old fox with a long life, a great monster with long experience and knowledge. However, in the long history of Teyvat, Godson is just a little fox who still has a lot to learn.
For example, Ganyu usually looks confused, but in terms of seniority, she is the senior of this pink fox.
The Son of God had never seen the Earth King Emperor in human form, so naturally he could not recognize Zhongli, who was living a leisurely life. Perhaps only his companions who had accompanied the Emperor through a long history, starting from the War of Demons and Gods, could recognize the gods disguised as humans.
Because of this, the Son of God only felt that Zhongli was a special guy. At this time, Zhongli invited Lin Qiu to sit down and drink tea. The fox chose to remain silent and wait for Lin Qiu to make a decision.
"The weather has been quite dry recently, and I just need some sweet tea to moisten my throat. I'd better obey your order." Lin Qiu agreed without hesitation, and then looked at his companions, "You two go in and visit Master Hu first. I'll come back to see you after I have tea with this gentleman."
Shen Zi nodded. Linghua was a little confused about the situation, but she agreed.
Lin Qiu sat opposite Zhongli.
"The aura you exude is very complex. It contains both the resentment of the demon god and the majesty of the god, but neither of these two auras comes from you." Zhongli made tea and handed it to Lin Qiu. "I guess you are the famous hero Inazuma."
The resentment of the demon god is exactly the snake bone of Orobas. As for the breath of the god, it is probably not the thunder and lightning in the body, but the fact that Lin Qiu spent too much time with Lei Yingdi before leaving Inazuma, which led to the lingering breath of the thunder god.
This faint breath of Inazuma's rule is like an invisible mark, declaring that Linqiu belongs to the god Inazuma.
“Well, I don’t deserve the title of a great hero…” Lin Qiu looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, then continued, “And you, Mr. Zhongli, you are the real hero.”
Of course, before saying this, Lin Qiu drew Yin-Yang runes on the table and created a small soundproof barrier. He planned to speak frankly.
Zhongli sensed that Lin Qiu had released a barrier, but he didn't take it seriously and continued drinking his tea calmly.
"You challenged the Thunder God and changed the situation in Inazuma with your own strength. There are even rumors that you eliminated the Fatui executive. These alone are enough to call you a hero." Zhongli, who has entered the life of a retired old man, said humbly, "And I am just a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, an ordinary civilian. How can I be called a hero?"
Lin Qiumu originally wanted to have an open chat with Zhongli so that they could talk freely about many topics, but old man Yanshen started to make tea and talk about heroes, and he was having a great time.
Lin Qiu chose to continue to expose: "Mr. Zhongli, you quelled the demonic turmoil in Liyue, minted currency to maintain peace for a thousand years, and brought development and a stable life to the people. In comparison, my current achievements are insignificant."
Although his secret was revealed in front of him, Zhongli remained unmoved and continued to drink his tea calmly.
The calmness brought by thousands of years of experience enables Morax to deal with any situation calmly, like a solid rock that cannot be shaken.
“That’s all in the past. Today’s heroes of Liyue will be born from the young.” Zhongli did not ask Lin Qiu where he got the important news. Instead, he said, “I heard that Liyue has been a little unstable recently. The secretary is missing, and the Fatui rebels are building dangerous machines…”
Lin Qiu thought: It seems that the important situations that have occurred in recent days are all under the control of the Emperor. I wonder what he wants to do by mentioning these now.
"What position do you hold in Inazuma now?" Zhongli looked at Lin Qiu and asked.
"I don't have any position, not even a noble. I once became a minister, but it was just a temporary job. After completing the task of cleaning up the shogunate's dirt, I gave up all my positions." Lin Qiu said honestly, "Instead, I have the legal right to marry wives - many wives. In other words, apart from the title of great hero, I have little to do with Inazuma at the moment."
Hearing this, Zhongli's eyes became sharp again, but there was no malice in this complex look, he was just observing.
Then, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "In other words, you are similar to that blond traveler. You have the nature of a 'Ranger'. No matter which country you go to, you can't help but do something to gain a new hero title."
Lin Qiu did not answer. He had never thought about this question.
But if you think about it carefully, it's pretty much the same.
He did those things mainly to make himself live in peace and to prove his strength on the road to becoming a hero - since his strength has grown to the point where it can be praised by so many people, he will definitely be able to live safely (and securely).
In contrast, he doesn't care about the dangerous path of proving his strength.
Lin Qiu vaguely understood the meaning of Zhongli's words: the old emperor was testing me, wanting to know whether I would help Liyue resolve the crisis.
What this means is that Zhongli wants to know whether this special person, Lin Qiu, is the "Hero of Inazuma" or the hero of Teyvat like the blond traveler.
Lin Qiu's answer proved that he belonged to the latter.
Even if Ganyu's disappearance has nothing to do with the doctor's incident, Lin Qiu still has to deal with this troublesome executive. After all, this guy invented some dangerous things in the world he lives in.
As for Zhongli now, he is in a relatively neutral state.
Even if Lin Qiu gave the opposite answer, as long as Lin Qiu was not an enemy of Liyue and would not take out the snake bones and throw them around, Zhongli would not interfere with Lin Qiu's actions.
Just now, the Emperor was just asking casually, like an old man chatting with a young person.
“By the way, did you come to Liyue with a purpose?” Zhongli asked casually.
“Well, I came to ask Miss Ganyu for something.” Lin Qiu said, “But she is missing now, so my actions in Liyue Harbor these two days were all to find her.”
"Ganyu... I think she is just too lonely because of the advent of the era of human rule." The Emperor thought for a moment, then said, "If the disappearance was related to the Fatui, she would at least leave some information. Now, she may just be returning to the mountain wonderland because of loneliness."
If he hadn't seen the traveler Ying, Lin Qiu might have thought the same, but he had just finished breakfast with the traveler.
This yellow-haired girl had just returned from the cave of True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, and was injured in the butt by the explosion invented by True Lord.
According to Ying, she did not see Ganyu when she was playing in Zhenjun Cave.
After the explosion, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun gave Ying a bottle that could create a wind field at will as compensation for her injury. He also said that he would take some time to repair the cave and let Ying go somewhere else to play for a while.
Because of this, while being thankful that his butt wasn't blown into the tree, the traveler suddenly became curious about how the Emperor fell down and pretended to be dead that day, so he returned to Liyue Harbor, flew down from a great height and hit Lin Qiu, resulting in an unexpected encounter.
Speaking of which, when it comes to pretending to be dead, Emperor Yan Wang is also a master at it. After all, he was the one who planned the ceremony of inviting the immortals. For this reason, Lin Qiu decided to ask this old senior for advice.
Lin Qiu proposed a plan to sneak into the doctor's research institute, and asked Zhongli how to pretend to be dead in a reasonable way to deceive the Fatui, but Zhongli's answer made him silent.
