The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

The dark room was built by a wealthy man to avoid war. It has five rooms in total and stores a large amount of supplies. Sorolla and his men relied on these to survive.

But the supplies will run out sooner or later. According to Lin Ye’s second investigation in the commercial street, there are several restaurants with some food. As long as they are edible, who cares whether they are expired or not at this point?

Joseph was obviously reluctant to come up, but being called by Lin Ye, he did not dare to refuse. He looked at the sea of fog in the distance and it took him a long time to take a step forward.

Commercial street.

Lin Ye took the baseball bat he found in the dark room and tried hard to break the iron lock.

The interior of the restaurant was empty and in a mess.

The three of them acted separately, Sorolla and Joseph went to the kitchen, and Linye looked for a place like a warehouse.

The restaurant has a second floor. Lin Ye saw tables and chairs stacked up at the stairs. They looked messy and as if they had been violently overturned. This aroused Lin Ye's vigilance.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the kitchen.

Lin Ye quickly turned around and rushed to the kitchen.

At this time, a black dog with bared teeth ran out of the kitchen and pounced into the forest.

Lin Ye hit the black dog on the head with a stick. The black dog shook its head, its pupils turned blood red, and blood flowed from the corners of its mouth.

When Lin Ye was about to KO the black dog, he felt a chill from behind. He couldn't dodge in time and something bit his waist. Lin Ye turned his head and saw that it was a hound from the beast realm.

"What the hell, how did this thing appear here?" Lin Ye was shocked. The pain in his waist made his adrenaline surge. He clamped the head of the Beast Realm Hound with his arms to prevent it from biting off a piece of meat, and at the same time wanted to break its neck.

The black dog recovered at this time and pounced into the forest again.

The beast hound used its claws to scratch a bloody wound on Lin Ye's arm. Its claws were corrosive and Lin Ye felt unbearable pain. At this time, the black dog jumped up and bit Lin Ye's neck.

Lin Ye's vision turned blood red...

……

Cover your neck and you'll be fine.

Lin Ye breathed heavily and his face looked very ugly.

This is the third time he has died.

Outside the secret realm, Lin Ye becomes more and more courageous as he faces more setbacks. With his own willpower and the help of the system and gods, Lin Ye is always able to overcome danger.

Now that he has lost his power, Lin Ye finds that life is so fragile.

As Lin Ye became more and more powerful, he gradually forgot the powerlessness of ordinary people, and the embarrassment he experienced in Ao Zang Mountain became a thing of the past.

Level 60, ghost state, divine protection.

Unknowingly, Lin Ye could easily surpass the limits of humans.

If you grow too fast, it is easy to get lost in the pursuit of power and lose yourself.

The power of the devil, the power of wishes, the power of the abyss.

When Lin Ye gathers these three powers, breaks through the shackles of mortals at level 60, and enters the level of immortals and demon gods' followers, he will usher in unimaginable changes.

The reason why the system requires Lin Ye to deal with Alice's secret realm with the physical fitness of an ordinary person is to let Lin Ye re-experience the powerlessness of ordinary people and face the wear and tear on the soul after continuous death, which is very important for the future.

Dying once is a very difficult experience, like surviving a disaster, and everyone will undergo some transformation to some extent.

But dying too many times will make people despise life.

Now Lin Ye is thinking that he still has seven lives and six chances to restart.

Lin Ye himself had a strong tolerance for pain, but he had not yet realized the impact of death.

"There are Beast Hounds hiding in the restaurant, and every store in the commercial street is locked with iron locks. Could it be that the Beast Hounds' lair? Coincidence or rule?" Lin Ye pondered.

"Fortunately, there is an opportunity for trial and error. In the early stages, we should have used our lives to figure out all the rules."

"For the fourth time, we will go meet up with Sorolla first. The next day, we will not go to the commercial street, but to the slums for investigation."

Lin Ye made his decision and pushed open the wooden door.

The safe house had fallen silent, with only the sea of fog silently rising and falling, from which one could not see clearly where it came from.

Lin Ye looked up at the moon and noticed that its position was a little off compared to before. Combined with what Sorolla had mentioned before, Duduko would appear on time at midnight, but every time Lin Ye came back, Duduko's appearance would be delayed.

Will it be the case that every time Lin Ye reopens, the timeline will move backwards?

Lin Ye took out his pocket watch. The things he had with him when he died could be left behind for the next time. The time on the pocket watch was indeed half past ten.

Go north.

Lin Ye was discovered by Sorolla.

The same pattern of interaction as in the third chapter, when they were brought to the dark room, without waiting for Joseph to shout, Lin Ye directly corrected his attitude and tried to win Winnie's favor.

When Kula said that the food was running low, Lin Ye didn't mention that he knew the way to the commercial street.

For rest at night, there are five rooms. One is the activity room, which is where Lin Ye and Joseph have a friendly meeting. One is the girls' room, which is where Sorolla, Kura and Winnie share a room. After Joseph occupied a room alone, Jonifer lived alone.

There is one room left.

In the third chapter, Lin Ye was sleeping in that room.

This time, Lin Ye shamelessly slept with Johnifer.

Lin Ye felt that the breakthrough point was Winnie. She had a doll called Duduko. This was a secret place created by Alice. The doll, which looked like her daughter, might have a special meaning.

There were not so many beds. Only Joseph's room had a bed, and the others slept on the floor.

Jonifer didn't say anything about Lin Ye's arrival. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

The kerosene lamp emitted a faint light quietly.

"Does this count as sleeping?"

Jonifer whispered without opening his eyes.

"I'm used to it. I don't dare to lie down. I've had enough of lying down."

Lin Ye understood it as the aftermath of the battlefield.

"You came here to ask something, right? What do you want to know?" Jonifer continued.

In fact, what Lin Ye was most curious about was the pocket watch and whether Johnifer still had it on him.

But this was not an appropriate question, so Lin Ye asked about the main business.

"Do you think the fog will clear?"

"do not know."

"Is Winnie your granddaughter?"

"Do not."

Jonifer opened his eyes. Under the dim light, his eyes were cloudy, like amber under the earth. He said in a deep voice.

"You care about Winnie?"

"I'm curious about everyone." Lin Ye said frankly.

"Indeed. You are very casual towards Sorolla. Did you know each other before?" Johnifer asked back.

"I concealed it on purpose."

"But it can't escape my eyes." Jonifer said complacently.

Lin Ye sighed that age is the key to success. Johnnyffer looked like an old man, and Joseph thought he was a waste. Johnnyffer kept silent and seemed to be submissive, but in fact he was hiding something very deep.

"Sorola looks a lot like a friend of mine, so it's inevitable that he'll have my attitude towards friends."

"Is she in Linton?"

"No."

"Then she's going to lose you as a friend."

"…Don't be so pessimistic."

Chapter 405 Collecting Intelligence

"Because of my appearance?"

"No, the aura you carry with you. This country is great, driving a steam monster to conquer a continent. But, the steam is like the germs spewed out by smokers like Joseph. Years of colonization and slavery have made everyone angry, as if their souls have been sold to the devil. Their eyes are fixed on gold and a higher status than themselves."

"Moreover, the winning prizes from the war games were all divided up by the upper class. They had nothing to do with the common people. I am a soldier, a civilian lieutenant. Because I offended the nobles, I was reduced to begging for food."

Jonifer had a smile on his face, which was a little creepy in the dim light.

"The people living in this city, whether nobles or commoners, have become twisted, nurturing many criminals..." Jonif said, "But you are different. Although I wonder how you got your skills, your mind is very healthy. What kind of environment do you live in?"

Hearing this, Lin Ye thought of his life in Liyue Harbor and replied.

"The more leisurely life and social atmosphere are indeed better than the steam age."

"That must be a very far place."

"If it's possible, and the fog clears, can you take Winnie away? I'm old and can't walk that far."

"Didn't you think the fog wouldn't clear?"

“People always have to have some hope in their hearts.”

"..."

"I promise you, but can you tell me about Winnie's background? She seems to have been abused and has scars on her shoulders."

"...Winnie was brought here by Kula." Jonifer said, "I don't know about this child's previous life."

"Kula is her mother?" Lin Ye was surprised.

Jonifer shook his head.

"Winnie said Kula wasn't her mother, she herself was adopted by Kula before the fog enveloped the city."

"Winnie rarely talks about her past, but she calls her mother when she falls asleep. They must have a very good relationship," said Jonifer.

"So what's Winnie's relationship like with Kula?"

Lin Ye thought of Kula. He didn't have much contact with Kula, but he was deeply impressed. His eyes seemed dead and numb.

"After Kula handed Winnie over to my care, she was very cold towards her, or at least that was the case from the beginning. I think she was avoiding Winnie," Jonifer said sharply.

“Hiding from Winnie?

"Just an old man's intuition." Jonifer said lightly.

"So do you think the scars on Winnie's body were caused by Kula?"

"do not know."

"Okay. Did she bring Winnie's puppet friend, Tootsie, with her from the beginning?"

"Yes. Is that doll special?"

"Dudu is her friend, and friends are naturally different from others and special." Lin Ye said with a smile.

"Ah."

"Let's not talk about Winnie anymore. Have you met Charlotte?"

"No. If I had seen it, I wouldn't be alive today. A lame old man can't escape the pursuit of monsters."

"You should have listened to Sorolla and the others?"

"Sorola, Joseph, Kula, Winnie, and me, we are all together by chance. Everyone has been running away for a long time, but not necessarily running away from Charlotte."

“…I have.”

"Oh?"

Forestry tells Jonif some of the characteristics of Duduko.

"Then how did you escape?"

"lucky."

"Just consider it good luck."

"Do you think there's a way to kill Charlotte? Charlotte is a monster that appeared in the sea of fog. Maybe if we kill it, the fog will dissipate."
