The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Ah this..."

It seems to be getting worse.

Seeing Sougo's hesitation, Lin Qiao clicked her tongue and said, "So, those who achieve great things don't pay attention to small details... You see, as long as the final result is good, the process can be ignored a little bit, right?"

"Eh? It seems like this is indeed possible..."

Sougo thought about it.

Anyway, when the knights' dials are collected, the corresponding history will naturally disappear...so there seems to be nothing wrong with saying this.

"Besides, this guy usually does a lot of illegal things, so we are punishing evil and promoting good, right?"

"…but isn't there a law?"

"If the law could do anything, this guy would have been sent to work on a sewing machine long ago... So hurry up, being so fussy is not like the attitude of a king."

“This…Ahhhh, I know!”

In the end, Sougo couldn't help himself and got into Lin Qiao's stolen car.

"But the king or something..."

Looking at the deserted streets passing quickly outside the window, Sougo muttered twice to himself, glanced at Lin Qiao beside him, and sighed in frustration.

Chapter 413 I have to ambush that snake monster in advance

The busy streets appear quiet and peaceful.

Although only less than two days had passed since the fusion of the parallel worlds, people returned to their daily lives as if nothing had happened... This was not just a metaphor.

It was as if there really was some kind of power that made people forget all of this or not care about it - almost like how after a new world is created, everyone forgets about the old world.

However, although the specific principles are still not very clear, for ordinary people, forgetting is actually a good thing. Otherwise, they will not be able to do anything with their abilities, and in the end it will only cause unnecessary social unrest.

But these are just unimportant digressions.

After finding a place to stay for two days, Lin Qiao had figured out the terrain here by combining memory reading with field visits.

The good thing is that the place where they are now is exactly where the protagonist group’s base is - Dongdu.

After realizing this, Lin Qiao immediately took action.

birth

It means "birth" or "beginning" in Italian.

It was located in a remote street corner in Dongdu, but because of its poor location and the inedible coffee made by the owner, and because he recently ran away and closed down, few people came to bother him...

Wow, what a familiar script unfolding.

I don't know how Kisara and the others are doing after being away for so long. I hope everything is going well.

But putting other aspects aside, this is also the secret base of Kamen Rider Build.

The geographical location, which is extremely unfavorable for opening a business, actually prevents ordinary people from coming to the door to the greatest extent possible... Therefore, those who come to the door are often not ordinary people.

"…Qiao, is this really okay for us?"

He swallowed nervously and watched Lin Qiao knock on the door lock with ease. It was obvious from her expression that she had done something similar many times.

The first time Sougo followed someone to do something bad, he was like a thief, nervously looking around, afraid that someone would come...

Do not!

In fact, they are thieves!

"Oh, don't worry, Sento and the others are now entangled and can't get away for the time being. As long as we are quick and agile, we can handle it before they notice anything unusual."

As for what he was entangled with - of course it was the gang members who were transformed into slammers.

Just find a casino and its underground loan shark, throw the Slugger inside, and then board it for a few minutes, and you will naturally be able to play the tiger away from the mountain.

"But turning people into weirdos is too..."

"It's not like they can't change back. Besides, considering what they did, this is a bargain."

Due to the bellicosity caused by the light of Pandora's Box, the relationship between the three cities is not good.

This also provides these gang members with many ways to make money - by trampling on the blood of others.

"A king is not a hero who only cares about saving others. Rather than doing good, you'd better be aware of doing evil, such as promptly eliminating those termites that affect social stability and destroy the happiness of others. Rather, this is what a king should do."

"Ah? Ah, that makes sense..."

Sougo scratched his head in distress. Although he had indeed dreamed of becoming a king before, but...

I always feel that what Lin Qiao described is quite different from the benevolent and kind king he had imagined before, who was respected and loved by everyone.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that what the other party said is more in line with reality.

"——Okay, stop worrying about this. After all, being able to recognize the gap between reality and ideals is the first step to realizing your dreams."

"Also, how long are you going to stand at the door?"

He waved to Sougo who was still standing stupidly at the door. He did not forget that from where Sento and the others were hiding, they could easily see this place.

The latter hesitated at the door, bowed to the empty door, muttered "sorry to bother you" under his breath, and then walked in cautiously.

The coffee shop was in a mess.

Apparently this place had been searched once by a team led by the honest man, which was no different from the original version - and he even honestly closed the refrigerator door before leaving.

As he walked to the counter, a ball of blue genetic genes was released from Lin Qiao's trouser legs.

After crawling through the gap into the secret passage hidden in the refrigerator and fiddling with the switch inside, the hidden door behind the refrigerator opened.

"so big……"

Walking down the stairs to the basement of the coffee shop, Sougo looked around and sighed.

Frankly speaking, the space above ground and below ground is not much different. It just appears more spacious because there are no tables, chairs, benches, bars, etc.

But I have to admit that this place really fits the feeling of a boy’s dream of a secret base... and it actually is.

Compared to Sougo who was marveling at the scene, Lin Qiao was extremely calm.

Not to mention that the structure of his coffee shop in the dark bullet world is similar.

In Cyberpunk 2077, he has seen many big scenes.

Of course, the most important thing is that I have no emotions, so I can't be surprised even if I want to.

"But, what on earth are we doing here?" Sougo asked, finally remembering the business.

"Verify something and prepare in advance to avoid the worst possible situations."

"Preparation? Then why don't we just go find Senior Build?"

"That being said, unfortunately, this is happening because I don't plan to meet them for the time being."

Shaking his head, joining the protagonist group at this time did not meet Lin Qiao's needs.

After all, at this stage, his strength is really too much - if they knew that he was there to back them up, then the danger level of Sento and Ryuu wouldn't have risen so quickly. It might even be worse, and they might not even be able to produce the Genius Bottle.

——In this regard, his goal is the same as that of a certain snake-skinned monster.

Not to mention that following the Battle Rabbit would be a bit too conspicuous.

He arrived a little later than the other time traveler, so before he figured out the other party's progress, it would be better for him not to be too conspicuous or expose his abilities in the short period of time.

"Then what should I do?"

"Your words……"

Lin Qiao glanced at Sougo, then threw a small bag she was carrying to him.

"There are eavesdropping devices and strong adhesive inside. Find a few hidden places where it's hard for people to find you and stick the stuff there. Remember not to stick it on your hands, and don't put all the glue in one place."

"Ah... yeah, okay."

After being stunned for a moment, Sougo still took the backpack and started looking for a suitable position like a clumsy but careful intern.

Seeing this, Lin Qiao shook her head and didn't say much... She just took out her cell phone out of habit and took a picture of Sougo with his back to her, his butt sticking out and twisting his body.

Click!

"skillful?"

"It's okay. Just record the surrounding environment so that you don't have the materials if you want to review it later."

"Oh, so that's how it is. What a coincidence."

"Thanks for the compliment."

After taking a few more photos, Lin Qiao put away her phone and turned her gaze to the most conspicuous metal cabinet in the basement room.

The height of the metal cabinet is about two meters, so it is no problem to squeeze two people in there.

——That is the conversion device used to purify full bottles.

This is also the main purpose of Lin Qiao's trip.

As I said before, he came here to avoid the worst possible outcome.

So the question is, what is the worst possible scenario?

Ignoring the enemy traversers with unknown abilities, the simplest and most straightforward scenario is that a snake-skinned monster holds a black hole trigger.

If that were the case, the game would probably be over right away.

Evolto would hold back on the war rabbits because he despises humans, or he would just recklessly attack them because he doesn't care about their lives.

But as someone who possesses the power of a killbus, I will definitely fight with 100% of my strength.

Chapter 414: It is normal to beat up your seniors, and vice versa

Therefore, in order to avoid such a development, Lin Qiao had to take the initiative.

Specifically, there are two points.

One is to take a random Pandora panel.

This way, even if my stinky brother wants to open the tower, he can't. Wouldn't that allow him to do whatever he wants?

Of course, although taking Pandora's Box directly is an option, it would attract too much attention, so it would be better to start with the panel which is easier to take.

The second is to sneak into the chemical drive one step ahead.

In this way, even if Evolto has collected all the boards and full bottles, it is still useless without the belt.

Then Lin Qiao can do whatever she wants again.

But...

"No."

As a piece of genetic factor that had drilled into the transformation device for search came out, quickly squirming its jelly-like body and returning to Lin Qiao's body, he sighed helplessly.

As he said – no.

The Pandora panel is fine, and even if the hidden tunnel can easily deceive an honest man like Himuro Gentoku, with Ishido Soichi around, there is no way that Sento and the others can keep that thing.

What was really unexpected was that the evolutionary drive exclusive to Evolto, which was hidden in the transformation device, also disappeared.

——Neither Sento nor Evolto knows the exact location of this thing.

But now it has disappeared.

Compared to being taken away by Zhantu and the others, Lin Qiao was more inclined to believe that this thing was taken away by Evolto.

There is no direct evidence to prove it, but Lin Qiao is indeed more inclined to the latter...it's just intuition.

But this also explains one thing.

That means there is a high probability that the other time traveler has cooperated with Evolto - at least partially.

This is not incomprehensible.

After all, compared to the protagonists who have always been defeated and played around by others, Evolto, who has been through the waves from the beginning to the end and finally left the earth safely, is the best choice no matter how you look at it.

——Except for daily betrayal to teammates and superiors.

"So, the only option left is to use the panel..."
