Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Hearing this, the Jackal felt uneasy all over and hurriedly felt around to make sure everything was in order, even the empty pistol. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly froze and reached out to touch his face. His fingers touched the surface, which was warm, delicate, and soft.

"You actually took my mask?!"

The jackal was frightened and angry.

"Yeah, it's okay, not too stupid."

Lin Wei nodded approvingly and threw the mask he had been holding in his hand back to the jackal.

He had originally intended to use this thing to tease the jackal and play a game with her; but seeing her lack of progress, he suddenly felt like he was bullying a child, and he suddenly lost interest in doing so.

The Jackal took the mask in a rather flustered manner, examined it hastily, and asked again in a deep voice,

"Where's the raven?"

This time, her voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between her teeth, full of frustrated embarrassment.

Raven hasn't appeared until now, and even allowed the man to take away his mask, which made her have a very bad guess.

"Could it be that Raven is teaming up with this guy to plot against me?"

The Jackal finally took a step closer to the real answer, but of course, it was still far from the truth.

"The raven can't come here, so you don't need to ask anymore, and you don't need to wait anymore."

Lin Wei shook her head and said softly. The content of her words made Jackal's heart sink suddenly. Then she changed the subject and asked with a smile,

"Do you think Raven can be my opponent?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"Isn't the meaning obvious?"

Lin Wei said as a matter of course. Then he slapped his forehead suddenly and said with sudden enlightenment,

"Oh, I forgot, you always seemed to look down on me?"

That's it again!

When the jackal saw the hateful smile on Lin Wei's face, all kinds of negative memories awakened and superimposed on each other, and he felt three times more disgusted at once.

"Let me ask you a question. How do you use this thing?"

Lin Wei slowly took out a black and gold box from his arms and played with it for a while.

Before the three Jackal men "captured" her and took her to the Jackal lab, he had Yaezakura materialize, carrying the demon sword and the trophy from a distance, like someone carrying something for shopping. Later, after finding an opportunity to merge the two into one, they returned to Lin Wei's hands.

"Yellow Spring Staff?"

The jackal recognized it at once and exclaimed in disbelief,

"How did it get into your hands? It's not..."

Wasn't it consumed when capturing Lin Wei? Shouldn't Lin Wei have already lost the ability to resist?

Why are they suddenly together now?

The jackal suddenly felt that the continuous reversals and changes in this world were a little confusing to her.

First, "Yuno" suddenly turned into the destined bishop Otto, and jumped in front of her;

Now Lin Wei suddenly took out the Yellow Springs Staff and showed off in front of her?

Can you two die together?!

The jackal cursed in his heart.

"Is it weird?"

Lin Wei smiled lightly and said,

"Respected Madam Jackal. I'm truly curious as to how insignificant I am in your heart. How could you think you could take me down by sending out three worthless fellows?"

As Lin Wei spoke, he gently threw the Yellow Springs Staff, which he had played with several times, back into the Jackal's hands, sneered, and said disdainfully,

"And this ridiculous thing? Oh, by the way, I advise you not to move around."

"Ridiculous? Humph, you're the funny one!"

The Jackal took the Yellow Springs Staff thrown by Lin Wei, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but curse the other party as a fool in his heart. He immediately prepared to activate the device in his hand, but at the moment before it was about to start, his action stopped abruptly.

"Zheng!"

A sharp scarlet blade was suddenly placed on her neck from behind. The cold touch of the blade and the thick ominous aura lingering on it made the Jackal's hands and feet cold.

"Shh... I told you not to move."

Lin Wei shook his head slightly, walked forward, and gently took the Yellow Spring Staff from her hand again. Then, he gently pinched the tip of the knife with two fingers and gently took it away from the jackal's neck. Then, he twisted his fingers, which were a little cold after touching the blade, and chuckled,

"Look, you dare to act rashly without even knowing what kind of backup plan I have?"

Lin Wei sneered and concluded,

"Disgrace yourself."

"It's you?!"

After Yae Sakura drew her sword and withdrew, the jackal, who was sandwiched between her and Lin Wei, quickly dodged to the side. However, he happened to see her cool and pretty face, her soft and flowing cherry-colored hair, and her iconic long ears. He couldn't help but screamed,

"Why are you here?!"

There is no doubt that she had once gone to Paradise for "further studies" and mistook Yaezakura for the one in Paradise.

Yaezakura didn't bother to pay attention to her. She returned the magic sword to its sheath, then walked away behind Lin Wei.

Lin Wei just smiled lightly and didn't explain.

Yae Village was just an inconspicuous little village in the ancient country of the Far East five hundred years ago. It just happened that a saint with destiny fell into it, and some stories happened there, and then it became known to Lin Wei outside the world.

But to the people of this world, it is unknown - otherwise, the black box carrying the erosion would not have been buried there for five hundred years and remained unknown.

But why did Lin Wei have to explain all this to Jackal?

Ever since Yaezakura swung her sword in front of Orchiddale, it was impossible for her identity to be hidden from the World Serpent any longer.

Rather than letting them find out themselves, it is better to point it out in a vague way beforehand, which will have a greater deterrent effect.

"...So the raven fell into your hands?"

Sure enough, the frightened jackal said dejectedly, and then seemed to remember something and suddenly became excited again.

"Since you can get heroes from previous civilizations to fight for you, then you and I should all unite under the same banner!"

The Jackal said excitedly,

"Do you know what your special physique means to the world? No, you don't! You're just a lucky person who happens to have this gift!"

"But it doesn't matter. As long as you agree to let me study you, our chances of defeating the Honkai will be even higher! Our Stigmata Project will also..."

"Defeat Honkai, just you? You can't even defeat me."

Lin Wei scoffed and interrupted,

"And your ridiculous 'Stigmata Project'?"

Kevin has given you countless chances, but you've never come up with a better plan to replace the original version in his and Gray Snake's hands. Where on earth do you get this confidence?

"Shut up! I won't allow you to slander the great Stigma Project like this! You..."

The jackal became furious like a cat or dog whose tail was stepped on. Before she could utter a curse, Lin Wei held the Yellow Springs Staff upside down and stuffed the tail end directly into her mouth, shouting back at her the rest of her words.

"Pooh, pooh! Ugh..."

The jackal stumbled back, unable to help but arch its back and retch. Even though she was in so much pain, she, having never suffered such humiliation before, still glared at Lin Wei.

"Like the plan you used to capture me and 'Yuno'? You didn't even know she was Otto in disguise!"

Lin Wei pouted, feeling a little disgusted by the saliva on the Yellow Spring Staff, but he couldn't bear to throw it away, so he had to vent his frustration on the jackal.

"Do you really think the whole world revolves around you?"

"Hmph, my plans always go smoothly! If you hadn't colluded with fate, if Raven hadn't killed Otto...how could I have given you, a despicable fellow, the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"

The Jackal said this bitterly. She also secretly hated herself for not listening to Raven's advice earlier, for always underestimating the man before her.

"And then he fell into Youlan Dell's hands and was taken back to the Skyward Headquarters by her? And then, he was tortured and interrogated to reveal the Second God's Key and even the entire Stigmata Plan?"

Since the Jackal still didn't doubt the Raven, Lin Wei didn't bother to point it out, but just followed her words and said in amazement,

"So what kind of mess will Kevin find when he returns from the Quantum Sea? Tsk tsk tsk... Dr. Jackal, do you know how irreparable a mistake you almost made?"

"Huh, do you think I would reveal these secrets?"

The jackal was a little out of breath, but he continued to be stubborn, but suddenly he screamed,

"Wait, what do you want to do?"

"Ah, me? I want to see if I can find these contents from your memory."

Lin Wei held up a piece of jumping black feathers in his hand and said with a playful look on his face,

"Believe me, Otto also has Yu Duchen in his hands, and there is more than one. He will only do more than me..."

As he spoke, Lin Wei stretched out his hand. He was really curious about how much resistance these cadres of the World Serpent could have to the Key of Consciousness.

"do not come!"

The jackal finally lost its defense and screamed in surprise.

"Hey, it's boring."

Isn't this too vulnerable?

Lin Wei put away the feather somewhat listlessly, and suddenly understood why Mei was too lazy to talk to her.

Arguing with a self-righteous idiot will only make you look like an idiot yourself...

In that case, Lin Wei was too lazy to talk to her anymore.

He raised his head slightly, raised his voice slightly, and said in a not very loud voice,

"Come out, Gray Snake. You've been watching the show in the dark for so long, it's time to come out and see!"

Instead of wasting time talking to the jackal, it is better to negotiate directly with the real owner.

Thinking of this, Lin Wei sneered and said loudly,

"I have a trophy ready for auction. It depends on whether Mr. Gray Snake can offer a price that satisfies me."

Lin Wei raised her hands, and a pitch-black sword shrouded in blasphemous black flames appeared in her hands. She pointed it straight at the jackal's chest, and the leaping black flames on it seemed to burn her clothes to ashes.

"If it unfortunately fails to sell, I will regretfully destroy it."

There was little sign of treating the jackal as an equal in her words—just as she usually treated other people.

"Sand, sand, sand..."

A sound of leisurely footsteps approached from afar, and then a strange voice holding a black umbrella slowly emerged, saying in a muffled voice,

"Long time no see, Mr. Lin Wei."

It was the gray snake that had not appeared for a long time.

"Every time we meet, you always give me some unexpected surprises, even though this is not unexpected..."

Of course, he still said things that people couldn't understand as usual.

Chapter 156: Friend or Enemy? (6,000 words)

"Every time we meet, Mr. Lin Wei always gives me some unexpected surprises, but this is not surprising at all."

Gray Snake, as always, held up his black umbrella, which he had ordered from an unknown manufacturer, and walked slowly to a place not too far from Lin Wei and stopped. He raised his umbrella-holding hand and his other free hand slightly to the sides, indicating that he was not a threat, and said in his usual muffled voice,

"Mr. Lin Wei doesn't seem surprised by my presence, which is actually quite surprising."

"Gray Snake, why are you..."

Someone is coming?

But before he could finish the second half of his sentence, Lin Wei once again used the Yellow Springs Staff to physically hit him back.

I saw that he had withdrawn the black sword in his hand at some point, and then he didn't even bother to look at the jackal. He just threw the magic sword in his hand out lightly and ordered,

"Sakura, keep an eye on her."

As he spoke, the air around him rippled, and the pink-haired and long-eared Yae Sakura appeared again. She picked up the demon sword from the air, and the scabbard "accidentally" hit the back of the jackal's neck, causing her eyes to roll back and she fainted again.
