Chapter 183: Margaret: Lin, go on a date with me
At two o'clock in the morning, the discussion about Xingtu City on the Internet was boiling.
Good deeds call it the 'Mass Collective Sleepiness in Star Map City' incident, and various conspiracy theories emerge one after another.
It wasn't until the Federation held an emergency press conference stating that the incident was caused by a monster and saying that the monster had been cleared that some of the turmoil calmed down.
Outside the coffee shop, Lin Xiao was wearing a long windbreaker, stopped the motorcycle, looked unaware, raised his hand to withdraw the light particles dissipated by the motorcycle to his fingers, and put the vehicle card into the fire with his backhand.
Walking through the underground stairs and coming to the base of the investigation team, Lin Xiao found that the power supply had been restored.
A group of people stopped in front with unkind expressions, led by a tall red-haired woman with a one-eyed patch, as if they were checking for suspicious people.
"Hey!" Hemlock shouted, "Where did you just go, Lin! β
Lin Xiao glanced at the hemlock and said calmly: "Conduct an investigation." β
Xingtu City is shrouded in an unknown enchantment, and the corresponding investigation task is the main job of Lin Xiao's sixth group.
"Yes." Hemlock's tone softened: "The group is not very peaceful now. Even if you're a team leader, you have to take care of yourself. β
"What's going on?"
Hemlock hugged his arms, his eyes next to the one-eyer flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
"There is an invasion investigation team of the fallen card division, and the strength is as high as the seventh order. The leader of the assault group, Amos, died in the line of duty. Your subordinate, the raven, was also seriously injured......"
Lin Xiao suppressed her emotions and said in a low voice, "Where is the raven now?" β
"Infirmary."
Lin Xiao bowed slightly, passed by the hemlock, and heard her stop herself:
"This incident...... Is it related to the Demon God? β
"Yes." Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then took another step with a deep gaze.
There may be more than one.
In the medical room, a man wrapped in bandages is sleeping on a hospital bed, and Sigrid sits next to him.
Jolena folded her arms and half-leaned against the TV stand, her face scabbed over her side thoughtfully.
Hearing the movement, the two cast their eyes. Seeing that it was Lin Xiao, Sigrid breathed a big sigh of relief, and Jolena's red eyes flashed and nodded.
Lin Xiao nodded first, and then said, "The crisis of the Lazy Demon God is solved. β
Sigrid opened her mouth...... Although Lin Xiao has always been known for his high efficiency, the efficiency of getting a demon god in one hour is too amazing!
Jolena half-lowered her head, closed her eyes and sighed, "It has to be you." β
Lin Xiao: "How is Brother Chu Yun?" β
"The doctor just finished operating on him, gave him analgesics, and is now asleep." The little secretary whispered: "He led the councillor into a trap and then ...... You should have heard that explosion. β
Lin Xiao nodded, the explosion from the underground pipe at that time could even be detected by him from a distance.
Brother Chu Yun used the strength of the fifth order against the seventh order councilor, this was the most perfect and difficult battle plan he could do.
Lin Xiao looked at Jolena again, and saw that her cheeks were wounded, and she could see something soft in her cold eyes.
Jolene stared at her, as if she had made some inquiries, turned her head again, and said calmly:
"Don't blame yourself, don't feel bad. People don't just do it for you. β
This kind of comfort with rough stones in the words is used to Lin Xiao.
Nodding his head, he asked, "The martyred Mr. Amos...... What's going on? β
Sigrid glanced at the surveillance, then at the tablet in her hand, and after confirming that it was correct, she said cautiously:
"He'sβhe should be, the killer codenamed 'Colonel'...... Then, the team leader, on the duel field, wiped him out. β
"Obliteration?"
"It's just, I can't describe it, it's a one-sided crushing ......," Sigrid said timidly, "the team leader is really strong." β
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment.
The suspicion in his heart grew stronger.
At this time, Lin Xiao heard Belfinger's seemingly innocent chuckle in his ears... I don't know if I guessed right, or if the direction was completely wrong.
"This lazy guy ......" Lin Xiao said in her heart: "You must squeeze her hard and let her stay in the live broadcast room 24 hours a day to work!" β
Since Brother Chu Yun was physically injured, the gluttonous power of devouring the virus was not very effective, so he could only recover slowly by himself.
Lin Xiao instructed Sigrid not to make a noise about the team leader's affairs. And let her not worry, stay in the investigation team, it is still very safe.
After all...... Even if the team leader is Mammon, according to Belfinger, Mammon is silently protecting Chu Yun and the others.
Although he didn't know Mammon's true purpose, Lin Xiao could at least make it clear that he was coming for himself. will not threaten the people around him like Roman.
And after this failed assassination attempt, the federal side will be suspended for a while......
It is enough for Lin Xiao to use this time to consolidate the newly acquired power of original sin and show force to the world.
Leaving the investigation team, it was already three o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiao looked at the tall ponytail girl beside her:
"Won't Mr. Jones say anything about you at night?"
"He knew I wouldn't listen, so he indulged me."
Jolene appeared on the motorcycle, straddled it, and said calmly, "Maybe one day when I take the man back, he will scold me." β
Lin Xiao: "Take the man back?" β
Jolene glanced at Lin Xiao deeply, there was fleeting shyness in her eyes, pushed the accelerator, and the sound of the engine covered her goodbye:
"Good night, good dreams."
The slender back disappeared at the end of the corner with the flying ponytail.
The spirit of a lazy witch appeared next to Lin Xiao.
Belfinger crossed his arms and said lazily: "Lin, do you think there is a 'happiness in marriage' in this world?" β
Lin Xiao: "What kind of strange topic is this?" β
According to legend, Belfinger was assigned by Lucifer to find out if there was a 'happy marriage' on earth.
This legend not only shows Lucifer's status, but also reveals Lucifer's curiosity and gossip about human beings.
"Perhaps, human beings who like each other can really achieve happiness when they enter into marriage." Belfinger said casually.
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, very puzzled.
Belfinger rolled his eyes charmingly, indicating that the guy was hopeless, and scattered into particles of light, and went back to sleep.
Those unconscious killers will be taken back by Dr. Birdbeak to report to Kane, so there is no need for Lin Xiao to worry about it.
He got on his motorcycle, returned home, and summed up the operation.
Contract Belfinger and obtain "The Power of Laziness" and [Sapphire] are just one of them.
What's more critical is to get the clues of the greedy demon god and the jealous demon god.
And tonight, it's a showdown with Augustus.
According to the agreement, after the duel, Lin Xiao needs to exchange information about the [Sanctuary] with Augustus.
The 'warriors of all countries' are pursuing the trail of the Sanctuary.
By communicating with Augustus, you may be able to broaden your horizons and gain a glimpse of the apocalypse.
Until then, it's crucial to win this matchup.
Lin Xiao looked at the crystal clear sapphire in his hand, felt the blue 'power of laziness' in it, and fell into deep thought.
Augustus' trump card is the legendary Odin's spear, Kungunir, also known as the 'Eternal Spear'.
It is said that this gun has its own authority, and has the property of 'throwing it will definitely hit the target', and can pierce anything it hits.
When Odin threw Kungunir, it was like lightning piercing the sky, so some mortals mistakenly thought that Kungunir was a 'shooting star'.
However, Kungunir is not inevasible. No matter how fast a spear is, it can't outweigh fate, so a target favored by good fortune will always avoid the Eternal Spear.
At the same time, Kungunir has little effect on the giant units.
After all, Odin was armed with the Eternal Spear and died at the mouth of the demon wolf Fenrir. It shows that the 'Must-Hit Spear' cannot kill the huge demon wolf that can devour the heavens and the earth with a single hit.
Lin Xiao had heard of Augustus's deeds, and the world was in awe of her legendary trump card.
However, after tonight, there may be a question mark over whether Augustus' Eternal Spear will be 'sure to hit'.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
stayed awake all night, and when Lin Xiao woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Soon after she woke up, Lin Xiao received contact from Dr. Bird's Beak.
"The mission failed, and Chairman Kane was furious and left the conference room directly." Doctor Birdbeak said helplessly: "If you lose two generals, you must have explained it to Mr. Roman badly." β
The colonel and the councilor, two seventh-order soldiers, died at the base of the investigation team.
And this is purely self-inflicted, Margaret can report to the headquarters on the grounds of 'the card master invading the base'.
Lin Xiao is more concerned about Kane's next move:
"Does he have a follow-up plan?"
"At the moment, not at the moment, but I can't guarantee your safety yet......"
"It's okay, I'll leave the rest." Lin Xiao said sincerely, "Thank you, doctor." β
Doctor Birdbeak sighed, "You can show mercy to Cowboy and the others, and it is I who should say thank you, after all, they are still a living force against monsters." I will make them give up the idea of being your enemy after I have healed them...... In the final analysis, the enemies of humanity have always been monsters. β
"Your idea is great." Lin Xiao said, "It's normal not to be understood." β
"No, at least you understand." Doctor Birdbeak said, "You have absolute power, but you use it to save the world. I think the reason why saints are saints is precisely because they have great power and a heart to save the world! β
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned.
The doctor's words inspired him. But in fact, he is not as great as the other party imagined.
I never wanted to save the world and save humanity.
Be a freewheeling player...... This is Lin Xiao's most instinctive concept.
It's just that he's not a chaotic way to play.
He has integrated into the world, touching on individuals with sincere feelings.
Therefore, guarding the things he cherishes and becoming stronger all the way is his rule of clearance.
Lin Xiao naturally skipped the topic: "See you later." β
"Okay, I'll contact you anytime if there's a situation!" Doctor Birdbeak said.
Lin Xiao hung up the phone and rubbed her chin.
There's an inner ghost, it's really convenient......
At noon, Lin Xiao went to the investigation team to visit Chu Yun.
He has regained consciousness and will need to recuperate in bed for a while.
"I'll bring you fruit." Lin Xiao carried the fruit basket, "Shall I feed you or do you eat it yourself?" β
Chu Yun's face was tightly bandaged, and there was only a pair of eyes, looking at Lin Xiao indifferently.
It's like asking, what do you say?
"Forget it." Lin Xiao sneered: "I'd better eat it myself." β
After sitting for a while, the doctor came in and asked not to disturb the patient, and Lin Xiao had to leave.
In the corridor, Lin Xiao unexpectedly met the team leader, and pretended to be calm and said, "Hello team leader." β
According to the words of the little secretary, this is a card master who can kill the seventh order alone, so you can't help but guard against it......
Margaret ignored it, turned around and said, "Come with me to the office." β
Lin Xiao was stunned, so as not to startle the snake and keep up with Margaret's footsteps.
Smack.
The mahogany double door was closed, and under the majestic and solemn oil painting, Margaret walked to the rosewood table and asked faintly:
"How did the investigation go last night?"
"It can be confirmed that it is the realm of the lazy demon god, so last night's case can be characterized as a demon god incident." Lin Xiao said.
"Hmm." Margaret sat in the boss's chair, her eyes lowered, and she looked through the papers on the table, "Have you found any traces of the Demon God?" β
"Nope."
"Yes." Margaret didn't dig deeper, "Thank you for your hard work." β
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she stopped talking.
Margaret raised her eyes from the document and said in a flat tone, "Is there anything else?" β
"Nope." Lin Xiao bowed slightly, "After the work report is completed, let me retire." β
It doesn't matter if the team leader is Mammon or not.
Tonight is the time for me to have a showdown with the world.
Ignore the intrigue and calculations...... Because there is no need.
Lin Xiao walked to the mahogany gate, and suddenly Margaret's soft call came from behind him:
"Lin ......"
Lin Xiao turned his head.
The red-haired woman's eyes were as beautiful as a pool of clear water, like a working sister next door, with her fingers crossed against her chin, revealing a gentle smile:
"Let's go on a date."
Lin Xiao was caught off guard and said, "I still have work today......
"I'm the team leader, I'll give you a day off."
Margaret got up, walked to Lin Xiao's side, took his arms, the white shirt was soft on the chest, and said with a smile:
"Date me. I'll tell you a secret. β
Lin Xiao quickly thought about the clues of the greedy demon god in his mind, and a large number of clues were pieced together, but they became blurred with the smell of perfume.
"What a secret." Lin Xiao quietly used his arrogant power and asked.
Margaret's eyes shimmered, and she seemed to be smiling:
"Secrets about the Demon God."
β¦β¦
Amusement park.
The red-haired woman held two marshmallows in her hand and handed them one with a smile. Lin Xiao shook her head and refused, so she handed the other one to the child.
Ferris wheel.
When the Ferris capsule rose to its highest point, the red-haired woman looked over with her cheeks on her cheeks, her eyes gentle. Lin Xiao turned his head to look at the scenery outside the cabin.
Aquaria.
A huge humpback whale swam above the two heads, and the red-haired woman stood among the laughing children, looking at the whale with her hands in her hands, her eyes lonely.
Cinema.
There was a boring love movie on the screen, and when the hero and heroine were kissing, Lin Xiao heard the squirming movement beside her, Margaret leaned in her ear and whispered:
"Before the end of the day, kissing will be more fun."
Lin Xiao turned his head sideways, looked at the red-haired woman's eyes close at hand, and said:
"Have you tried?"
"You want to try?" Margaret's eyes flickered.
"I don't want the end of the world yet." Lin Xiao looked at the screen.
The two watched the movie quietly, and Margaret said boredly:
"Let's go, it's not fun."
Leaving early, the two walked out of the mall, and a few pigeons stopped in the square at dusk.
"There's a live stream of Augustus and the epee tonight."
Margaret said lightly: "It will definitely be more interesting than the movie." β
"What are you talking about, the secret of the demon god?"
Lin Xiao knew that when he asked this question, he admitted his identity as a 'heavy swordsman' in disguise.
But it didn't matter, after all, in two hours, it would be time for him to face Augustus.
"Demon gods usually see themselves as the masters of the human world, but there is no shortage of cases where they make a contract with humans."
Margaret clasped her hands and said calmly: "For example, the human king who made a contract with seventy-two demon gods in history, King Solomon. β
"That's exactly the secret I'm going to tell you......"
Margaret turned around, her eyes were deep, and she said slowly:
"Headquarters and federal authorities have recently unearthed a ruin. The owner of the ruins is the legendary King Solomon. β
Lin Xiao: "Even if King Solomon made a contract with the Demon God, he has passed away for a thousand years......"
"Yes, but there are some things that do not wither with the passage of time, such as the fabulous ore that is capable of working miracles, called the fifth element, ......"
Lin Xiao seemed to realize something, and her heart moved.
Materials that can make the ace break through the eighth order!
"In the ruins of King Solomon, a substance that should have disappeared was detected. Legend has it that this ore can only be held by saints......"
Margaret smiled slightly:
"That's why people call it the Philosopher's Stone."
Lin Xiao's breathing was a little tight.
I have to admit that he is a little tempted.
After all, he really needed to use the [Philosopher's Stone] to make the Falling Star Sword break through the eighth order.
However, this news is not necessarily accurate; Second, if this news is true, it will inevitably attract the attention of card masters who also covet the eighth order.
Lin Xiao: "Why do you want to tell me the news of the Philosopher's Stone?" β
"I told you. It's you on a date with me. β
The afterglow of dusk fell on Margaret's supple fishbone braids, and there seemed to be a flickering golden light in her gentle eyes, and she smiled lightly:
"I promise you a secret."
