"This seems like something the bad guy would do." Paimon complained.
"If Thomas loses the Eye of God and the Tenryo Bugyo fails to lock him up and lets him escape, the Society Bugyo will be in big trouble. He knows almost all of the Society Bugyo's secrets, and it will be easy for him to deal with the Last Ban. He will become the Society Bugyo's greatest enemy in history."
"How could that be? Doesn't he already have the Eye of God? Logically speaking, wouldn't it be better to send a few people with the Eye of God to suppress him?"
"I have already found out the mastermind behind what Master Xuan said a few days ago. It's the Fatui. Also, I heard that the Fatui handed over a test subject to Tianling Fengxing. The owner of this test subject is very likely Thomas?"
"A test subject of the Fatui? Could it be the Evil Eye? If the Evil Eye is handed over to the disloyal and unjust Thomas... Ying, we must stop the Eye Hunting Ritual." Paimon suddenly came to his senses.
"Well, we must not let Thomas lose the Eye of God."
"Linghua, since it's inconvenient for you to show up, just wait for our news here!"
"Well, be careful."
"Don't worry, leave it to us!"
Ying and Paimon hurried to the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue.
"Ayaka...does she really regard Thomas as a friend? It is because of the Eye of God that she upholds loyalty and righteousness that she is valued by the Kamisato family, right? I really don't know whether Ayaka cares about Thomas or the family."
"Let's rescue Thomas first. After we rescue him, we can go and hear their true thoughts."
"Ah."
Chapter 200 The Pain That Was Ignored
Lin Zixuan stood hidden on the side of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue Square, recording every move in the square with a video recorder in his hand.
Next, Ying will interrupt the Eye Hunting Ceremony and be dragged into a small dark room by Lei Dianying for a battle. After the battle fails, she will escape with the help of Thomas, and then go to Kaigi Island to join the resistance.
The game naturally doesn't show too much negative information. But it's completely different in this world, where reality is often very cruel.
Many houses in Inazuma City had white cloths hung on their doors, indicating that their husbands and children had died in the war, a war that was manipulated and meaningless.
There were many broken families in the surrounding villages, and parents and wives were in tears. The death toll on Haigi Island was probably even higher. Such tragic events were usually not mentioned at all in the game.
This is not like the modern war on Blue Star, where it is difficult to kill people on the battlefield. Here, people fight face to face with swords, guns and arrows. Even though they fought very restrainedly at first, as time went on and the death toll increased, the two sides had already become irreconcilable.
In ancient wars in a country on Blue Star, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people died. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people, and thousands of people's lives are often piled up together. And who can comfort the families behind these thousands of people's lives?
Inazuma also has the Lightning Elemental God's Island Collapse Cannon, which was originally used for city defense and cannot be moved. They must have gotten the inspiration after watching the battle against the Whirlpool Demon God in Liyue.
The Tianling Fengxing purchased props from Liyue during these two times, and customized mobile devices for thirty artillery pieces. The quality of Liyue steel is very guaranteed, which can ensure that the Shenju Collapse Island Cannon will not fall apart when fired.
This powerful weapon will soon enter the core battlefield, and with the help of mobile devices, it will be deployed flexibly. The resistance bases on Haiji Island will be eliminated one by one. It is a piece of cake to use this weapon to break through the bases.
After this "Eye Hunting Ceremony" is over, I'm afraid the war in Nashiki Beach will escalate further. My appearance and the flapping of the butterfly's wings have brought new changes to the war here.
From a distance, Ying and Paimon were seen running towards them. General Raiden was also walking towards the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed Statue. Both sides had already entered the arena.
It must be said that General Raiden's steps and movements reveal dignity, which has a fatal attraction to some men. Maybe the wish that Manye's best friend had was actually more about wanting to get close to General Raiden.
General Lei Dian reached out from above and performed telekinesis.
Seeing an opportunity, Ying jumped out and intercepted the Eye of God that was flying towards General Lei Dian. Then he knocked out several soldiers of Tianling Fengxing, causing the crowd to exclaim in amazement.
"You don't need the Eye of God to drive the elemental forces...
You, like Lin Zixuan, are an 'exception'.
Exceptions are the eternal enemy."
General Raiden walked down from above, stepping on the air, and pulled out the "Dream Heart" from his chest.
"I will build you into a statue of God."
A purple cover covered the venue, and the moment the cover was covered, purple light appeared in Lin Zixuan's eyes.
"Parsing successful, connection started."
Inside the hood.
The two people in front of him were fighting fiercely. Lin Zixuan looked at the red moon in the distance and the torii around it. It looked like an ominous place. There was also a faint sadness filling this space.
Looking at this Lei Dianying in battle, he frowned.
The guy who provided Lei with the method of making movie puppets definitely had bad intentions. Using this method to play with the gods in the palm of his hand, we really can't underestimate these people who are hiding in the dark and slowly planning.
Coming back to his senses, the wonderful fight between the two was really exciting, and Lin Zixuan watched it with great interest. Although he had shown some of the Thunder General's moves to Ying, in this field-like barrier, he couldn't even use elemental power, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
Sure enough, the two sides crossed each other and Ying fell to the ground unconscious.
Lei Dianying looked to the left.
"There is something wrong with you. I can actually feel the power of God in you. Moreover, it is thunder..."
"Has your perception become so weak after giving up your physical body? You can only roughly sense some malicious intent? I thought you discovered it back then."
"It's just giving up a tiny bit of ability for eternity."
"Eternity??? But I have seen one fact: your wear and tear is even three times faster than that of an ordinary immortal. Such an eternity is really laughable to me."
"What did you see?" Lei Dianying showed a look of surprise for a moment.
"Everything has life. Another ability of mine allows me to sense the approximate lifespan of people and objects, that is, their true lifespan without the intervention of fate.
You can imagine that there is a countdown above everyone's head.
A normal person will only make this countdown tick once per minute.
The immortal's pulse beats once every 10 minutes, and the time will be extended as the strength increases.
The Rock King can even go 1000 minutes without his heart beating once.
If you don't fight, it's fine. Just like now, your heart rate will jump every 5 minutes. But in the fight just now, it jumped every 3 minutes. Although you have a lot of lifespan, it's really extravagant to squander it like this. "
"My lifespan is slipping away?"
"If you create a flesh and blood Dharma body that matches your soul like Liyue did, then the loss of lifespan will be minimal. But the Thunder General puppet you created, although it looks the same, does not make you completely compatible.
The general is the general, and you are you. You are just a soul living in the general. Therefore, the wear and tear will naturally be divided into two parts. The wear and tear of General Lei Dian is General Lei Dian's, and your wear and tear is counted separately. Do you understand this?"
"That person never told me about this." Lei Dianying also thought about some old things from that year.
"If it's so easy to achieve eternity with a puppet, then the person you're talking about should be in the same state, right? Did he turn himself into a puppet and stuff his soul into it? Why don't you introduce him to me and let me see how much life he has left."
"I will investigate the matter myself. And you, since you are here, don't leave." A large amount of thunder elements began to condense on Lei Diandian's body.
"This... isn't a good idea! If you want me to stay here and meditate with you for the rest of my life, forget it. Although you are a beauty, the two women in my family are not bad either. A forced melon is not sweet!" Someone's voice gradually disappeared.
"Die!" Lei Dian rushed towards Lin Zixuan's position, but his pace slowed down. He could no longer sense his presence. Is my wear and tear calculated separately from the general's wear and tear? This is not good news.
In just 3 seconds, the people outside saw the hood disappear, and the man who had resisted General Raiden lay unconscious on the ground. Paimon rushed forward and tried to wake Ying up.
Just as General Lei Dian was gathering his strength and preparing to swing his sword to chop off Ying's head, Thomas on the side untied the rope with the sharp blade of his spear and threw the spear at General Lei Dian. Seeing this, General Lei Dian had no choice but to send the spear flying, but he also knocked Ying out and even woke her up.
Thomas saw this and quickly helped Ying up and jumped off the cliff to escape. General Lei Dian condensed a lightning spear in his hand and was about to pierce through them, but he hesitated to throw it. Seeing that they had entered the residential area below, he had to give up.
"Put them in the Eye Hunting Order." General Lei Dian gave the order and left.
Lin Zixuan, who was watching the battle, suddenly realized that this plot in the game was very strange. How could General Lei Dian not be able to catch up with them? He had fought with General Lei Dian before, so he naturally understood how terrifying her speed was.
Unexpectedly, it was because Paimon actually used a little time power to instantly weaken General Raiden's attack to the point of knocking him away.
The concentrated force of General Raiden's attack, under normal circumstances, even with the spear blocking it, the blade energy alone was enough to cut the three people in front of her in half. Untying the rope and throwing the spear in front of General Raiden, is there any misunderstanding of the strength of the shadow warrior who has fought for many years?
If Paimon hadn't used the power of time, the ending would have come directly. In the eyes of the onlookers, it seemed that General Lei Dian had knocked them away, but in fact, only General Lei Dian was extremely shocked, because he should have slashed out a blade of energy just now.
The strange attitude of Paimon after he showed his time power, he could have rushed over to kill them, but he didn't do it. The speed of a fire element supporting a wounded man made it impossible for the thunder general who could step into the air to catch up, which was a huge joke.
The eye-hunting ceremony ended like a farce, and the onlookers dispersed. The Tenryo Bugyo began to search Inazuma Castle and posted wanted notices.
On the other side, Thomas and Ying were relieved to see that General Lei Dian did not catch up. With the help of Lin Zixuan's recovery accessories, Ying quickly returned to normal.
"The shogunate army will soon search the entire city for us. Hiding in the Mulou Teahouse is the safest place for me. I probably won't be able to show up again for a while. I can only leave the rest of the matter to you."
"Hey, Thomas isn't leaving with us?"
"If we act together, we will be more likely to be discovered by the Tianling Bugeng. You can go to Bayun Island to find the rebels. There are not many forces willing to take us in, but the rebels are an exception. Although Master Xuan's attitude towards the rebels is not very good, there is no other way now."
"I still remember that it was the big bad guy who said that the Coral Palace organization was... an organization that was rebelling against the Eye Hunting Order with ulterior motives."
"Yes, it was originally the organization of the present-day human god priestess Coral Palace Heart Sea from Umijima Island. Currently, it is led by her subordinate Goro and is fighting against the shogunate army.
However, our company does not take visits from the resistance army very seriously, mainly because both sides cannot trust each other. But you are different, in my opinion, the resistance army should have no reason to reject you.
The only problem is that we don't know the exact location of the rebels, so we need you to find out. We may pass through the territory of the shogunate army, so please be careful."
"Well, let's go first. If we delay any longer, the shogunate army will come to search. Thomas must also hide well and don't be discovered."
"Don't worry, I'm pretty good at hide-and-seek." Thomas looked around to see if there was anyone else, so he jumped up to the balcony behind the Mulou Teahouse, quietly opened a window and slipped in. A hand waved outside, as if to say goodbye.
"Oh, I thought I could see a different Thomas." Lin Zixuan appeared next to Ying and Paimeng.
"Where have you been, you big bad guy? It was so dangerous just now. Ying was almost killed by General Lei Dian." Paimon said with his hands on his hips.
"I went to take the most beautiful photos of Inazuma! Look, if I make these photos into an album, I think I can easily sell them for 1000 million Mora."
"Really? Let me see."
Several pictures show the continuous scene of General Raiden pulling out Dream Isshin from his chest.
There are a few consecutive pictures of Ying fighting against General Lei Dian, and then slowly falling down with circles under her eyes.
There were several pictures showing General Lei Dian slashing at Thomas and Ying with a flash of sword, but the flash of sword was disappearing.
"Uh...you big bad guy, you were right next to us, but you were just taking pictures!"
"After all, I'm here for tourism! I can't interfere in these private matters, especially in front of so many people. I took action before to protect our Liyue merchants.
But today, it was because you took the initiative to disrupt the Eye Hunting Ceremony. If I show up again, it will be a diplomatic issue. I clearly said that losing the Eye of God will not harm your life. After the Eye Hunting Ceremony, we can send someone to replace it.
You have to be so impatient to do things, now you are here. Wanted for stealing the zither in Mondstadt, wanted for escaping in Liyue, wanted for rebelling against General Raiden in Inazuma, and wanted in Xumi... Sigh." Lin Zixuan shook his head.
"We have to make sure Thomas doesn't become a disloyal person. Kamisato Ayaka said that if Thomas loses the Eye of God, he will become the biggest enemy of the Society."
"It seems that outsiders are always outsiders. Thomas is really pitiful."
"What do you mean?"
"What Kamisato's family needs is a loyal servant, not Thomas. If Thomas is not loyal, he can be abandoned.
Without Thomas the Horse, there are still Thomas the Cow and the Sheep, which is a very typical big family thinking mode. After all, these families have been learning how to control their subordinates since childhood, and it has become a habit. Some people want to be Kamisato Ayaka's dog, but it is not so easy to be the dog of such a big family.
If you treat Thomas as a true friend, you don't need to worry about Thomas doing bad things to the society. After all, even without loyalty, Thomas still has feelings such as love, friendship, admiration, and care! Loyalty is not everything for a person.
Next, you will go to Haigi Island, where you will see a real big family, the Coral Palace that has ruled Haigi Island for 2000 years. You must see the disasters that power brings. "
"Linghua would never be like what you said!" Paimeng said angrily.
"It's a pity that you didn't let General Raiden take Thomas's divine eye away, otherwise something interesting would have happened."
"Ying, let's ignore this bad guy and run away."
Chapter 201 A fateful encounter
"Ying, along the way, why do I feel like so many families are holding funerals?"
Paimon saw from afar some people in black kimonos worshipping something, and two shrine maidens were standing nearby performing an unknown ritual.
"It's true that there are too many. After leaving Inazuma City, there are basically several families holding funerals in every village we pass by." Ying also saw these situations and couldn't help but think of what Lin Zixuan said.
The two avoided the village and continued on their way. Not long after, a dusty young man wearing a bamboo hat came towards them, looking at a map. When he came closer, a foul smell rushed straight to Ying and Paimeng's forehead, causing them to pinch their noses.
"Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't have time to take a shower." The man in the bamboo hat made an apologetic gesture.
"Where are you going?" Paimon asked, trying hard to hold back the strange smell.
"I heard that the shogunate army's base, Kujo Jinya, is nearby. I was going there to do something."
"Oh, the nine-row formation house is over there." Paimon pointed in a direction.
"Well, thank you. Also, don't go over there anymore. Go ahead and pass the Ta-Tan Sand, and you'll reach the front line. The killing has gone crazy over at the Nashii Beach, and too many people have died. If you're not careful, you'll end up with your head and body separated."
"Hehe, we are very strong. We are planning to go to Haige Island to join the resistance army."
A flash of white light flashed.
"Dang!!!" The sound of swords clashing.
"Eh???" Paimeng saw Ying holding off the man's fatal blow. The man looked at him with a sharp gaze, as if he was looking at an enemy, and quickly hid behind Ying.
"Why are you like this? Do we have a grudge against each other?"
