"I think you are so fond of scenario No. 3 because burying the traveler and I together will help you sell bigger coffins, right?" Lin Qiu saw through everything.
"Ahahaha..." Kurumi evaded the question with a smile.
However, Lin Qiu felt that this plan was not completely unfeasible, and it would not be bad to have more Ying sisters.
After all, he doesn't have the magical support of the heart sea now, and he can't transform into the snake bone state at will. If the doctor has any countermeasures, he can rely on the traveler to help him destroy the laboratory, so as not to release the devil's power.
According to his current condition, if he releases the power of the demon god, but cannot find Ganyu, or Ganyu is unwilling to contribute Qilin blood, he will probably suffer from back and leg pain and lack of energy again.
What's more, when I am in the demon state, my roar will cause chaos among the elemental spirits. It's okay for the Bayun Island which is ravaged by the power of the evil god, but using the roar in the beautiful Liyue will damage the earth veins and nature, which is quite troublesome.
Because of this, if you can avoid transforming, then do it. If you can't transform, you have to rely on the power of the traveler.
"Burial with the traveler..." Lin Qiu pondered, "It depends on her opinion."
"As long as the reward is good, the traveler will definitely agree." Walnut was very confident. "Let's call her over and ask her."
Lin Qiu thought about it, took out the prepared stone from his pocket, and carved the recording rune on it.
Then he took out a not very long golden thread from his pocket. It was the hair that was stuck to his body when the traveler knocked him down last time.
Lin Qiu thought: If this continues, I will become a pervert who collects girls' hair.
He stopped daydreaming, took out another stone, made a tracking rune, and tied two stones together with his hair. In this way, the tracking rune would carry the recording rune to find the traveler and tell her to come to the Hall of the Afterlife.
After finishing the recording, Lin Qiu loosened the two rune stones tied together, and the stones flew out of the door and automatically went to find the traveler, the owner of the hair.
……
At the same time, in a warehouse in Liyue Harbor.
Ying and Ye Lan came here after breakfast. Even Ying couldn't help but widen her eyes at the things piled up in the warehouse.
The warehouse was filled with scattered metals, but these metals resembled armor parts, but the aura they exuded was sinister and malevolent, and no one would want to wear them.
Judging from the parts scattered all over the floor, the parts in the warehouse can be used to assemble at least five or six suits of armor.
"These are the doctor's new inventions that were discovered by adventurers near Liyue Harbor recently." Ye Lan introduced, "There are obviously no mechanical parts in them, but they can move, leaving the adventurers puzzled."
"Now I know the reason." Ying looked at the scattered armors and said, "These empty shells are filled with the power of the evil spirits, so they can move."
As for these rusty armors, they were made from parts of the Ruin Guards.
Because the material of the Ruins Guard has good energy conductivity, it is suitable for use as the doctor's new invention. However, the specific manufacturing method requires the help of the Heart of the Rock God.
As it happens, the Heart of God is in the Doctor's hands.
"According to the adventurers who defeated them, the combat effectiveness of each individual is stronger than that of the Qiuqiu thugs, but weaker than the Qiuqiu Rock Helmet King." Ye Lan said with a serious expression, "The problem is that this thing can be mass-produced, and it will not be afraid or retreat."
Even the Hilichurls are living creatures after all. When attacked or their companions are defeated, they will be afraid and retreat. However, these Tin Men will not do that. As long as they retain the ability to move, they will continue to move and fight.
Because of this, the doctor's invention is very dangerous. If they receive orders to destroy and ruin, they will turn into killing machines and complete their tasks at all costs.
What's more, the energy that drives them is the resentment of the devil, which should not be underestimated.
"It seems that the plan to destroy the doctor's laboratory cannot be delayed any longer." Ying murmured.
"Well, next we can only wait for the great hero to see what kind of good plan he will come up with." Ye Lan folded his arms across his chest and said, "In addition, the defeated tin men will be thrown here, and when the experts from Xumi arrive, the General Affairs Department will ask them to study this thing."
When Ying was about to observe the robots again, the flying stones outside caught her attention. The traveler girl drew out her one-handed sword and knocked the stones to the ground.
"What is this?" Ye Lan asked.
Then, the recording rune stone made a sound, it was Lin Qiu's voice.
In the recording rune, Lin Qiu said: "Traveler, we have a rough idea of how to sneak into the doctor's laboratory. We need your help. To prevent the plan from being leaked, please come to the Hall of Rebirth. We will tell you there."
The recording stone has an insurance set by Lin Qiu. If it does not encounter the traveler but is intercepted by others, the message inside will be automatically deleted and Lin Qiu will be notified. If a traveler is encountered, Lin Qiu will also be notified to ensure the safe arrival of the information.
The Traveler planned to invite Ye Lan to go with him, but Ye Lan said that he had other things to do, and besides, the fewer people who knew about this secret plan to defeat the Fatui, the better.
Hearing this, Ying nodded and walked towards the Hall of Rebirth.
……
At the same time, Lin Qiu asked Hu Tao and Ling Hua to chat in the coffin room. He went outside and discussed with Yae Shenzi how to use Yin-Yang magic to help travelers pretend to be dead.
"First of all, the Yin-Yang technique that Miss M taught me can be used to pretend to be dead. When I interfered in the duel in front of the emperor, I used this method to avoid being chased by the general." Lin Qiu was referring to the Yin-Yang technique of the ice element. "So I want to use this trick on the traveler, so that she can sneak into the doctor's research institute with me."
"I do know a lot about Yin-Yang magic, but I haven't studied the Yin-Yang magic of pretending to be dead in depth." The pink fox shook her ears and said, "You can only rely on yourself in this regard, or contact that lady. She is better at Yin-Yang magic than me."
The "adult" that the pink fox was referring to was, of course, Raiden Zhen. Since they started heading to Liyue, Lin Qiu and Miss M have had less communication.
Because Lin Qiu and Shen Zi left Inazuma, and because of the connection to the Pure Land, Miss M taught her stupid sister the art of governing a country all day long. She was exhausted during the day and could only double her sleep to make up for the energy she had consumed. Lin Qiu slept less at night, which led to a time difference between her and Raiden Zhen.
When Lin Qiu is awake, Lei Dian is really sleeping. When Lin Qiu is sleeping, Lei Dian is really awake. When both of them are awake, Lei Dian is really teaching his stupid sister.
"You two, I heard your conversation at the door." Zhongli walked into the hall, "I may have a way to use the rock element to achieve the perfect fake death effect."
Lin Qiu almost forgot that this is Liyue. Although the gods have retired, they are more reliable than the gods of Inazuma.
In short, since you are in trouble, why not ask the magical Mr. Zhongli?
"Rock elements can be used to pretend to be dead?" The Son of God shook his ears. "I have never heard of it before."
"From a general perspective, rock represents stillness and stability, as solid as a rock - it can temporarily cover a person's life force." Zhongli began to talk about the theory of elements, "Whether it is used for protection or to allow people to enter a state of 'isolation' for a short period of time, it is all possible."
Lin Qiu roughly understood it and gave a thumbs up: Praise the Rock King!
Next, all we have to do is wait for the traveler to arrive and ask for her opinion.
……
It was almost noon, Shen Zi and Ling Hua went out to buy lunch, and Zhongli was still sipping tea at the door, as if his job as a guest of the Wangsheng Hall today was to drink tea in front of the door.
Linqiu and Walnut are waiting for travelers in the coffin room.
Ying came to the door, greeted Zhongli, and followed the Emperor's instructions to walk into the coffin room.
With Zhongli watching at the door, there was no possibility of eavesdropping. This was also the advantage of discussing important matters in the Wangsheng Hall.
So the traveler got straight to the point and asked, "What's a good plan? I want to hear it."
Walnut did not shy away from explaining directly: "The premise for the implementation of the plan is that, Traveler, Lin Qiu, you two heroes will be buried together, is that ok?"
fluorescent:? ? ?
Chapter 115: Walnut's Special Service (4k)
After listening to Hu Tao's unclear speech, Ying blinked, then looked at her straight, like a kitten whose food was taken away.
Lin Qiu, who was watching from the sidelines, did not intend to help explain. Since Hu Tao had volunteered to speak to the traveler and had not made things clear, he would let the girl from the Hall of Rebirth finish what she was saying, so that things would not get more confusing if he interrupted.
"We are buried together? What does that mean?" The traveler was very confused. "I don't quite understand."
Walnut then explained excitedly, "What it means is that you and Lin Qiuxia both pretend to be dead, and let the doctor take away the coffin containing you. This way, we don't need to find the exact location of the Fatui, and we can successfully sneak into the doctor's research institute and stop their plan."
Ying thought for a moment and nodded: "I see, that's a good idea indeed. I can accept it and cooperate with this big show - but I'm not good at pretending to be dead. If the Fatui have any detection equipment that can detect the situation in the coffin, I'm afraid I will be exposed immediately."
"Don't worry. Mr. Lin Qiu and Mr. Zhongli have already made all the arrangements for you." Hu Tao puffed out her thin chest, which was difficult to distinguish from the front and back, and said confidently, "Next, you just need to follow the script of this hall master and put on a big show!"
Speaking of Hu Tao's script, the more Lin Qiu thought about it, the more he felt that it was hopeless: after eloping with Ying, they were both killed by their own harem members. It was really full of loopholes.
"Wait, I think this script needs to be slightly changed." Lin Qiu said that it was a slight change, but in fact he wanted to overturn it and start over. As Hu Tao might not be willing, he lied to her by making big promises.
"Well, you can modify it and add some details." Walnut said.
Ying listened to the conversation between the two with a confused look on her face.
Master Hu then remembered that the traveler didn't know the specific plan yet, so she repeated the script of "eloping, being killed, and being buried together" from beginning to end.
Although Lin Qiu was too tired to complain, Ying would not let Hu Tao do whatever she wanted. After listening to him, she complained at a high frequency with a look of question marks on her face:
"This isn't right. The Fatui will definitely see through it. Think about it. The hero and I have only known each other for a few days. It wouldn't be right for us to fall in love and elope. Besides, he and I both have some fighting power. We won't be easily killed. Besides..."
Ying listed five or six irrational points in one breath. Master Hu was speechless and began to doubt himself: Could it be that I am not suitable to be a screenwriter? !
As it turns out, this is the case.
In the end, the problem of conceiving the script came back to Lin Qiu like a boomerang.
During the time he spent with Yae Shinko, Lin Qiu read a lot of light novels, and he had quite a few templates of those bloody plots in his mind.
With Hu Tao offering "joint burial" as a premise, Lin Qiu quickly came up with a logical and unsuspected plot.
First of all, the Fatui must know that the great hero possesses the power of a demon.
After all, the snake bones on Bayun Island disappeared without a trace. This big news not only spread throughout Inazuma, but also reached Liyue along the sea route. The rumor that the great hero Lin Qiu ate the demon god has become known to everyone.
In a sense, Lin Qiu did not eat Orobas, he was just able to absorb it temporarily and spit it out after the transformation was completed - absorbing but not digesting it.
If we have to say which demon he "ate", the answer is Baalzebul, but this is a very subtle way of eating.
Let's get back to the topic. As for the degree of integration between Lin Qiu and the evil god, how much the Fatui know is debatable, but it is definitely not much.
At least they certainly don't know that the great hero can perfectly control the power of the demon god, and the side effects are just sore waist and legs and lack of energy, which can be almost replenished by drinking coconut milk.
In this case, we can make up the following scenario based on the above intelligence gap:
The demonic power in the hero's body went out of control, and he transformed into a humanoid demon. He was eventually killed by the Traveler and Inazuma Immortal—but the process was not so smooth. Before he died, the hero Lin Qiu and the Traveler exchanged one for one...
"Wait, if that's the case, then you're the villain." Walnut felt something was wrong, "Then why would the Traveler be buried with you?"
Lin Qiu thought for a moment and added:
"It could be like this. For example, before I die, I regain consciousness and realize that I have made a mistake. I use Yin-Yang magic to seal myself to prevent the power of the demon from leaking. Since the traveler is too close, she is also affected by the seal. We cannot separate and can only be buried together."
"I'm so miserable." Ying complained.
"It's a good show indeed," Hu Tao said, enjoying the fun. "It just lacks some touching elements. It would be better to add some emotional lines between the two heroes and have a love-hate relationship."
"Why not add some emotional scenes between you and me?" Lin Qiu retorted in a teasing tone, "The more complicated the script, the more likely it is that accidents will occur. It's best to keep it simple."
"I think so too. Besides, I'm not good at acting, so the love line will definitely be exposed." Ying said honestly.
"It doesn't matter. I will give you special training!" Hu Tao continued to be meaningless. "I have read many related novels!"
"This is the rough outline of the script." Lin Qiu patted Hu Tao's head lightly through his hat, signaling the hall master to be more obedient. "Let's move on to the next stage."
"Next, we should lay the groundwork for the hero to lose control, right?" The blond traveler stroked his chin and thought, "For example, with the help of Ye Lan, let someone spread rumors, vaguely mentioning that the hero cannot control his power, and let the Fatui believe it, how about that?"
"The Fatui suffered from the rumor last time, so they will definitely become more cautious. We need a more stable method than spreading rumors." Lin Qiu thought seriously, "The Doctor must have planted spies in Liyue Harbor. If that's the case, we can use their tricks against him."
Kurumi and Ying looked at him and nodded, very much approving of his plan.
Lin Qiu was quite good at making plans, but just like he didn't like using Yin-Yang magic in the beginning, he didn't like to use his brain too much.
He had used his brain enough in his high school life before he traveled through time.
In contrast, Tatakai, who was swinging his spear and sweating, reminded him of the physical education classes he often missed when he was in school before the time travel. Therefore, he preferred to use the Death Thorns to fight the enemy in close combat rather than the Yin-Yang magic with multiple functions and powerful effects.
Because of this, all the previous thinking and planning relied on the help of Miss M. However, now, Miss M is exhausted from teaching her stupid sister all day, so the planning can only be done by Lin Qiu.
Otherwise, what? Leave it to Ying and Kurumi?
If you think about it carefully, some travelers are also stupid, otherwise, the first thing they would do when they arrive in a country is to be wanted by that country.
As for Walnut, although he is innocent and has an active mind, the problem is that he is too active and often gives some strange suggestions. They are fine as after-dinner conversation, but they lack practical value.
As for the other two, Linghua can be a cheerleader. She trusts Mr. Lin too much and thinks that Mr. Lin can come up with a better solution, so she gives up thinking. As for Yae Shenzi, she is too lazy to use her brain, so the plan to eliminate the Fatui is entirely left to Lin Qiu.
Fortunately, Lin Qiu doesn't like to use his brain, rather than being bad at it. When he has to rely on him, he can still come up with a reliable solution.
At this moment, Lin Qiu was silently perfecting the plan in his mind, and soon, the preliminary plan of "pretending to be dead with Sister Ying to deceive the Fatui" came out.
"To implement this plan, we need the help of Miss Ye Lan." Lin Qiu raised his index finger and explained, "We need to do this first, then this, and finally that..." Lin Qiu looked at Hu Tao and added, "Finally, we need to do this again... I need to trouble Master Hu to spare some time."
After hearing Lin Qiu's opportunity, Kurumi's eyes widened.
"I, the hall master, also have to make time to act with you? Or go to a remote forest with no one around?!"
Lin Qiu originally thought Hu Tao would be reluctant or directly refuse, but he didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic.
"I was worried that I wouldn't have the chance to participate! That's good. I can contribute to the feat of defeating the Fatui." Walnut was still very interested.
To be precise, it should not be said that they defeated the Fatui. After all, their main enemy now is Doctor Slice who defected from the Fatui, not the Fatui itself.
After the Whirlpool Demon Incident, most of Liyue's Fatui retreated, and only a few stayed to deal with the aftermath - such as Tartaglia, whose mission was to find a way to find the betrayed Doctor Slice and take back the Heart of God.
There are also some unlucky ones who are trapped in the rock abyss and have to survive at the limit without any backup.
"In other words, are you willing to set aside a few days to go to the remote forest with me?" Lin Qiu confirmed with Master Hu.
The girl shook her fluttering twin ponytails, nodded, and said, "If my acting skills can fool the Fatui, then it will be a very happy thing, so I will accompany you out for two days as a special service for the great hero."
"That's no problem. I'll tell Ye Lan about the plan and let her arrange it. Then we can officially implement it." Lin Qiu gave a thumbs up.
