The villain's goal is to save the heroine

Then, a helpless expression suddenly appeared on her face. "Hey, hey, hey, there's really nothing I can do about you hopeless idiots. How can things be so complicated? My suggestion is to just fish that disgusting skull out and give him a beating! Then, can't we just force him to tell me where he hid Cecilia?! You can leave the interrogation to me. I have 108 ways to smash his skull!"

“…Aren’t you interrogating him? Why did you smash his skull?” Lin En was a little surprised.

The little girl put on a disgusted expression: "Tsk! Noel, he's just an amateur! That guy is obviously not an honest and simple guy. For a guy like that, we must first give him a warning! Do you know what a warning means?!"

"what…"

For some reason, Lin En felt that what the little girl said made sense.

As a former member of the Ebon Blade, Augustus was clearly a scheming individual. He had completely controlled Mona with just a few words, even dragging her out until nightfall. It was definitely better to deal with a guy like him with action than with words.

"So, how do you plan to fish Augustus out?" Lynn asked again.

He felt that although the little loli's method was a bit simple and crude, it was still a solution. If they could control Augustus first, the difficulty of their trip could be reduced by at least 80%!

but…

"Huh? Are you a blockhead? I've given you such a perfect plan, and you're still asking about such a trivial matter? What the hell are you doing?!"

ok, got it.

This guy is just farting here, right?!

Augustus is not an idiot. It would be a miracle if he could take the initiative to jump out in this situation!

"But with this lake water, we can easily deal with the Screaming Tree, right?" Claire obviously knew Eunice was just joking, so she skipped over the little girl's 'perfect' plan and concluded, "Besides, now we no longer need to confirm Cecilia's tree embryo, but only need to confirm the area where Cecilia may be! As long as we confirm Cecilia's approximate location and use the lake water to sprinkle it, we can identify Cecilia's location!"

I have to say that the male protagonist is the male protagonist. The situation that was originally at a loss immediately made good progress after a brief communication.

Indeed, with the lake water as a key prop, they can now attack or defend, and no longer have to be afraid of the "Screaming Tree".

If we can find that area, the problem can indeed be solved quickly, but the problem is...

Doesn’t Lynn know where Cecilia is?

He can't even tell the directions!

The night provided a huge barrier to the "Forest of the Sacred Trees". Their situation was like people caught in the spotlight on a stage play. They could only see a little bit of the surroundings, but otherwise it was completely dark!

The problem still has to go back to the initial connection. The key is how to sense Cecilia through the flow of magic power or resonance!

However, Lin En had not thought of the method yet, but based on the current situation, he thought of something even more terrifying!

He didn't know how to describe this feeling. He just felt that everything seemed like a coincidence, but everything seemed not to be a coincidence. It was as if there existed such a god in the dark. He based it on reality and took Claire as the core, and had already written a destined ending...!

Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. After all, this is a game, it's there, and the beginning and end have long been coded by the developers.

only…

too weird.

In the game, he had never triggered this "lake line" before him, and no matter what he chose, he would eventually rescue Cecilia as a team of four...

After all, it's code, and code won't make mistakes, so Lin En wants to return to the game script!

However, the current situation seems to fundamentally break this assumption.

This lake had never appeared in the game before. It felt more like a setup. Claire was bound to rescue Cecilia, and this lake seemed like a backup plan, a precaution against unexpected events...

After all, the degree of freedom of "Lynn" is "high" recognized by the diary!

This made Lin En feel a very strange feeling. Did the game... really exist?

Come to think of it, when he was raving about the game, it seemed like no one else was commenting except him, and...

and many more…

What was his original name?

"Hey, stinky Lynn!"

Just as his inner panic began to spread, the little Lolita beside him suddenly poked his tender waist.

"What are you thinking about so intently? What should we do next?!"

Lin En was brought back to his senses by Eunice's stimulation. Looking at the little girl in front of him who was standing proudly with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, he subconsciously pinched her face...

"Hey...! What are you doing suddenly, you perverted lolita lover! Take your dirty hands away!!" The little loli slapped his hand away unhappily, her expression becoming more and more dissatisfied, and she pouted like a pufferfish.

"Huh? Are you stupid? You still ask me such a thing?" Lin En responded to the little loli with the same tone as a little loli.

The little girl was immediately furious: "Oh my! I really want to..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin En stopped him with a hand: "Okay, okay, I understand the rules. I'll just keep the account and give me some time to think about it, okay?"

"Wow!" The little girl's eyes lit up. "You're very sensible! It's not impossible, but you owe me a lot now, and I don't know if you can pay it back!"

Chapter 166 Claire Can't Figure It Out

Lynn ignored the little Loli.

Yes, there was more than one thing that made him feel dizzy. He didn't know whether everything he was experiencing was a game, a human design, or fate or a plot...

In short, there seem to be two ways to pass through the "Forest of the Sacred Tree" at present!

One is the flat push in the game, and the other is the clever push using the lake water.

At present, the first one seems to be a bit powerless. After all, a lot of energy was wasted in dealing with Augustus outside.

The second...

Yes, this is where Lin En's headache comes from! This second type of record clearly belongs outside the game, beyond the game content! But this record has a very important premise -

vision!

When night fell on the "Forest of the Sacred Trees", this already hazy space became even more chaotic. Except for being able to see a little further near the lake, they could not observe anything farther.

The current situation was caused by the tug-of-war between him and Mona and Augustus's delaying tactics!

These two accidents seriously disrupted the process and put the filing team into an awkward situation. Although they now have the support of the lake water, they are basically like a headless fly, without even any direction to doubt or infer!

This feeling is like walking into a dead end, and no matter how shining the protagonist's halo is, it can't solve the problem!

Is this also the difficulty brought about by the change process? !

Lynn didn't know.

The current situation looks like we can only wait until tomorrow.

While this was a possible idea, Lin En had a strong premonition for some reason! He felt he couldn't wait any longer. It was as if Augustus could have simply sacrificed them all, but he had stopped them at all costs. The reason behind this was probably...

Cecilia can only survive tonight!

After all, compared to the game, they are now one day behind. It is already remarkable that Cecilia can protect herself for more than three days against Augustus, who is far above her level, and the mysterious "Sacred Tree"!

They must take action!

but…

"It's just right, it's almost time..."

...............

...............

"Eunice, could you freeze as much of the lake as possible and pack it up for us?"

After some 'careful consideration', Lynn cheered up and began to arrange the tasks.

"Ha... Of course you can, but... Hey, do you know that this is a waste of magic power? What if that skull comes out and does something bad?" Eunice crossed her arms, not knowing what Lin En suddenly came up with.

However, Lin En did not answer, but instead stared at the stupid woman: "Hey, Mona Sophis, you can beat Augustus, right?!"

Mona shuddered subconsciously when she saw Lin En looking at her. Then she shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "I'm... I'm sorry... I... I didn't know... A useless bitch like me who doesn't know what's good for me is... totally useless..."

Lin En's expression hardened, and his voice suddenly rose three points: "I say, you can beat Augustus, right?!"

"I...I..." Mona was so frightened by Lin En that her legs began to tremble again. Her eyes were misty and she couldn't even speak straight. "I...I will do my best..."

"Shut up!" Lin En shouted directly, "Try your best? What do you mean by try your best?! Think about how you got here?! Huh?! Besides being a hindrance like a loser, what else have you done?! You're just a bitch who can only bark, you know that? If I hadn't cared about you, you would have been killed by the Fear Tree, you know that?! Now I'm giving you a chance to show yourself, but you don't know how to cherish it. What gives you the right to still stand here? Huh?! Try your best? Get out! Get back here right now! We don't need a dog like you who is just an eyesore here!!"

Lin En's words undoubtedly once again pua Mona from both her person and personality. This foolish woman, who had already been traumatized by this, suddenly showed a look of fear and despair on her face. She fell to the ground again, and then...

"vomit--"

Threw it out again.

But she had already vomited.

There was nothing else in her stomach that could be emptied out, so she just convulsed and vomited some stomach acid, with pain written all over her little face.

Seeing this, Claire naturally wanted to pick a fight with Lin En. He took two steps forward and was about to speak angrily, but Lin En shouted first, "Shut up, Claire! Don't you understand? We don't have that much time anymore. Augustus deliberately delayed the time until night to hinder our actions, because Cecilia can only make it through tonight, understand?! It's better for people who are just getting in the way to disappear as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he took two steps forward and kicked Mona out.

"Don't follow me, understand?! We don't need trash like you! Take the lake water with you and go back to where you came from! You're superfluous!!"

Claire couldn't stand Mona being treated like this. Seeing this, she angrily drew her sword and said, "Lin En! If you dare to hit Sister Mona again, don't blame me for being rude! Also, it's not 'we'! It's 'you'! I will go rescue Cecilia with Sister Mona!"

There is no doubt that the male protagonist is a man of his words.

Because of Lin En's bad attitude towards Mona, he chose to turn against her directly. Even at this critical juncture, he wanted to break up with Lin En!

only…

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry...!" Mona's performance was completely beyond Claire's expectations.

The stupid woman was obviously scolded and kicked by Lin En, but not only did she not blame Lin En at all, but she quickly crawled back like a pug, hugged Lin En's thigh and apologized repeatedly:

“Please… don’t abandon me…! I… I will definitely defeat Augustus…! Please… please… I beg you…! I’ll do anything…! I’ll definitely be able to make a difference…! Please! Take me… take me…!”

This scene completely confused Claire: "Mona... Sister? What are you doing, Sister Mona?! We can rescue Cecilia on our own! There's no need to follow this scumbag!!"

"Shut... Shut up, Claire!" However, Mona suddenly screamed like crazy, "I don't allow you to call Lin En that...! He... He didn't say anything wrong! I know! I already understand everything!! Because... Because I am a useless waste...! If no one... If no one whipped me... I would really be completely finished! Lin En... Lin En is just motivating me, do you understand?! Because he must be right! He said I can beat Augustus, so I can definitely beat Augustus!! He gave me the confidence, do you know that?! I will never allow you to belittle Lin En again!!"

If Claire was just confused just now, Mona's words completely confused her.

This male protagonist with low emotional intelligence racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Mona would turn against him!

It was clearly Lin En who treated her badly, and she had clearly always been on her side, so why did she take Lin En's side and refute her?!

Claire didn't understand.

Just like he didn't understand why Vivian also stood on Lin En's side. He clearly did nothing wrong and had always been thinking about them, but...

Why does this happen? !

Claire fell into deep self-doubt...

Chapter 167 Collar of Destiny

"Oh, you still have some self-awareness."

Just as Claire was devastated, Lynn's disgusted voice rang out again:

"Since you're so sensible, I'll be merciful and reluctantly let you follow me one more time! But this is the last time. From now on, all you have to do is listen to me and do what I say. If you can't even do such a small thing, then you'd better get out now."

His words were still very rude, but Mona was overjoyed when she heard them, tears of excitement streaming down her face. "I understand...! Thank... Thank you...! Thank you for giving a loser like me a chance...! I understand! I will cherish it! I will definitely cherish it...! Thank you...! Thank you so much...!"

He looked very enthusiastic and his attitude was very sincere, almost exactly as described in the "Villain's Diary". It turned out that he had serious psychological problems.

This was the first time that Lin En felt that he had gone too far...

Because he had played the game dozens of times, he already had a clear understanding of these characters.

He already knew what kind of person Mona was, and that this guy was just stupid and not bad, but he still couldn't help but argue with her, which led to him becoming like this. Is this something worthy of praise?

But he didn't have that much time to waste right now. He had already finished reading the latest "Villain Diary" and had a deep understanding of the urgency of the matter.

Yes, just as he had anticipated, Cecilia's endurance time was almost reaching its limit!

The game script had already undergone subtle changes, and the original script was no longer strictly referenceable. If the situation wasn't so urgent, he wouldn't have forced Mona in this way...

They have no room to pull at all!

After dealing with Mona, Lin En set his sights on Claire...

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, some things cannot be changed.

First it was Vivian, now it was Mona, and now there’s Cecilia…

In the game, the conflict between "Lin" and Claire became irreconcilable in the "Forest of the Sacred Trees." And now, even though things have changed a lot in the intervening time, after going full circle, it will probably return to the anchor point.
