"Lin Jun, you have really...changed a lot."
"Ha~ Of course, when you meet someone you like, you will change completely. You may even leave the house."
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Hey~ don't be so awesome, I remember An Yijun, you have a cousin~"
"How...do you know about Michiru?!"
"Who knows, maybe someone missed their childhood one day and said it casually~"
After Lin Qingluo changed the topic, the atmosphere between them improved a lot. Then the two talked about the recently popular animation, and the chat returned to the same feeling as before.
Of course, Lin Qingluo did not forget about business. When a customer came into the store, he said goodbye in time and went to the store manager to ask for his salary.
Lin Qingluo still respected his former boss. After all, he had given him a lot of help during his most difficult time.
The middle-aged store manager was very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Qingluo. When he learned that he would not come again, he even showed a regretful expression on his face.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Qingluo successfully received his salary, then said goodbye and left the store manager's office.
At this time, there were no customers in the convenience store, but there were a bunch of products stacked at the checkout counter, and An Yilun was struggling to put them into the basket and put them back on the shelves later.
"An Yijun, what's going on? Someone took something and didn't buy it?"
"No, these products suddenly piled up here."
An Yilun also found it baffling. He clearly didn't see anyone, but after a brief distraction, he found a pile of merchandise on the cashier.
"Mai Sakurajima..."
Lin Qingluo suddenly thought of the reason, and uneasiness and eagerness involuntarily arose in his heart.
Lin Qingluo didn't even explain to An Yilun. He anxiously patrolled back and forth in the convenience store, but did not find Mai Sakurajima.
"No...no, absolutely wrong, it shouldn't be like this!"
Lin Qingluo picked up a box of Pocky on the counter, placed it on the edge, and shouted Sakurajima Mai's name loudly.
"Sakurajima-senpai, if you are here, pick up this box of Pocky and let me know you are here!"
"Jun Lin, what are you doing?"
An Yilun didn't know what Lin Qingluo was doing. To be honest, in the eyes of an uninitiated person, Lin Qingluo was like a mental patient going crazy. The two customers who just wanted to come in were scared away by him.
However, Lin Qingluo did not answer An Yilunye's questions, nor did he explain to him the reason for all this. He just stood anxiously in front of the checkout counter, looking at the box of strawberry-flavored Pocky.
——After waiting for 5 minutes, nothing happened, as if everything was Lin Qingluo's illusion and delusion.
"She...has left."
Lin Qingluo rubbed his cheeks irritably, trying to calm down and sort out the existing information.
"Jun Lin, you are blocking the guests..."
"To shut up!"
Lin Qingluo was so anxious at this time that he had no time to deal with An Yilun. He suddenly turned his head and looked at An Yilun, the clueless anxiety and uneasiness in his heart burning like a flame in his eyes.
Lin Qingluo's aura full of murderous intent made An Yilun feel suffocated, and his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
On the other side, the man who was about to pay was impatient to wait. He was tall and burly, and the shadow he cast was enough to cover Lin Qingluo.
"Hey! Boy, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Get out of here!"
"I'm thinking about something, shut up!"
Lin Qingluo turned over his hand and took out his pistol. The muzzle of the gun was directly pressed against the man's chin. The cold and fatal touch instantly silenced the man.
"..."
Lin Qingluo rubbed his forehead anxiously. He clearly had a clue in his head, but something seemed to be disturbing his thoughts and preventing him from getting the answer.
At this moment, Lin Qingluo's intuition told him that something very bad was happening. He must discover the problem as soon as possible and protect Mai Sakurajima who was in crisis!
However, the more anxious Lin Qingluo became, the less he could think of the reason. He covered his head and wandered out of the convenience store, as if he was about to faint.
"What's going on? What on earth... happened?"
"Hey~ Mr. Lin, you seem to have encountered some trouble."
Fujiwara Natsuki walked out of the shadow of the trees, waved to Lin Qingluo, and then sat calmly on the bench next to him.
"Can you tell me something? Maybe I can help you."
"Dr. Fujiwara? You..."
When Lin Qingluo saw Fujiwara Natsuki again, he was also startled. When he moved his thoughts away from Sakurajima Mai, the discomfort in his head disappeared immediately.
As a professional doctor, Fujiwara Natsuki naturally saw that Lin Qingluo's condition had improved. He smiled and hit his head with his hand, giving a covered answer.
"Lin Jun, you know that I have a spiritual connection with a wild soul, no... I should say it is a coffin clan. It just told me that you have the mental interference of its own clan."
"Coffin Clan?"
It was the first time Lin Qingluo heard this name. Unfortunately, Fujiwara Natsuki shook his head and did not explain it to him.
"Exile said, you don't have a big problem, you will be fine in a few days. The Coffin Clan has no intention of harming you, it just makes you think about 'certain information' for a while, and it is easy for you to have a headache and lose track of the clues. "
"The Coffin Clan...mental interference...when?"
Lin Qingluo felt that he had grasped the corner of the truth, but when he wanted to think deeply, there would be a stabbing pain in his head, and the gathered information was scattered.
"Jun Lin, we met yesterday at five or six o'clock, around this time. At that time... you didn't have any problems."
"When we meet... when we meet... it's just the two of us?"
"No, there is another person, a very beautiful girl."
"Yes, I also know that there is another person, she is..."
Lin Qingluo gritted his teeth and endured the stinging pain in his head, as if he was pushing himself towards a cliff, getting closer to the truth bit by bit.
Chapter 98: Risa Nanase, who dreams because of ideals
Throughout the day today, everything Lin Qingluo experienced was normal, and he did not notice anything strange.
But at this moment, under the reminder of Fujiwara Natsuki, Lin Qingluo finally got close to his sealed memory.
"I was... with Sakurajima Mai yesterday."
"Congratulations, you have discovered the core of the problem~"
Fujiwara Natsuki smiled and patted Lin Qingluo's shoulder and put a floppy disk into his hand.
"Mr. Lin, what is contained here is all the information on the 'Ark Knight Project'. I assure you, I have nothing to hide."
"Right now, the backlash and erosion of the Wild Soul Armor are still too serious for humans. I will keep looking for a solution, but I may not be able to wait until that day."
"If...the me you see next time is no longer me now, don't hesitate to kill me directly. To be honest, I really didn't expect that a ridiculous dream could reach this point."
Under the influence of 'exile', it became increasingly difficult for Fujiwara Natsuki to maintain his original intention. He didn't know when he would lose himself, so he personally handed over the Ark Knight's information to Lin Qingluo.
"Lin Qingluo, the future... depends on you."
Fujiwara Natsuki stood up from the bench and stretched out in the sun. Then he smiled and waved to Lin Qingluo, turned around and walked into the shadow of the trees, never looking back.
"..."
Lin Qingluo's brain was a little confused now, and he couldn't organize his thoughts for a while.He actually had a lot to say to Fujiwara Natsuki, but at this time, everything had become a luxury.
Looking at Fujiwara Natsuki's back, Lin Qingluo had an inexplicable premonition that the next time they met, the two would be enemies.
Following Fujiwara Natsuki's secret prompt, Lin Qingluo flipped over the bottom of the floppy disk and saw the note he left. There wasn't much in it, but it explained everything clearly.
I'm afraid that before long, Fujiwara Natsuki will no longer be himself. He will be occupied by the coffin clan named 'Exile' and become a parasitic 'monster'.
"Why is this situation so similar to the Doomsday Association's methods?"
Lin Qingluo suddenly remembered the purpose of Haunted Soul and Winter Breath. The reason why it targeted Ying Lili was that it seemed to want to snatch her body and use it as a body to walk in this world.
"What's going on in this world?"
Lin Qingluo carefully put away the floppy disk, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, but in the end he only sighed.
His perception of Fujiwara Natsuki is confusing and one-sided, some look down on him, and some pity him, but such a weak-minded rich second generation has completed a great project.
"It's... funny."
Lin Qingluo leaned on the bench, opened the system interface, and added the only three free attribute points to the soul attribute.
"Character status"
[Strength: 14] (determines strength)
[Agility: 14] (determines action speed)
[Physique: 15] (determines physiological tolerance)
[Spirit: 14] (determines mental strength)
[Bloodline: 15] (determines body functions)
[Soul: 17] (determines mental state)
[Source force value]: 580 strings (29 strings of source force restored per hour)
[Free attribute points]: 3
[Free skill points]: 25
[Entangled Fate]: 10 pieces
[Source Crystal]: 1600 (can be exchanged for 10 pieces of entangled fate)
The system's unique enhanced energy began to circulate in Lin Qingluo's body. The 'mental interference' set by a certain coffin clan disappeared instantly, allowing everything last night to be revealed and the truth revealed.
Last night, after Natsuki Fujiwara, who was wearing the Aragama Armor, left, Lin Qingluo originally planned to send Mai Sakurajima to her house, but Mai Sakurajima said she didn't want to go home and wanted to explore the truth of the matter with him.
——So, under the leadership of 'Sakurajima Mai', the two went to Fujiwara Natsuki's hospital and rummaged through the secret room on the top floor, but found nothing.
Lin Qingluo, who finally determined an answer, did not continue to make excuses. He directly summoned the soul-cutting magic sword and chopped off the head of 'Mai Sakurajima' with one blow.
But what Lin Qingluo didn't expect was that facing the invincible "Sword of Azakana", the target was not killed for the first time, but it also revealed the opponent's true appearance.
She - at least she calls herself a woman, but her real body is just a red crystal ball, exuding an aura that people can't help but get close to.
"Nanase Risa, she even gave her a human name."
After Lin Qingluo remembered everything, he was no longer anxious because he had won the bet with the other party.
Promise·Wish: Lin Qingluo remembered the conversation with her, and she told Lin Qingluo the truth about the matter.
"So, Nanase Risa...you can come out."
"The agreement is made and the wish is made."
In a distant murmur, a girl holding a red crystal ball walked out of the gray and black mist. She looked at Lin Qingluo with empty eyes, like a puppet transmitting sound.
"We, the coffin clan, are desolate souls who have awakened their spiritual wisdom and received blessings. We abide by the contract with Emperor Huangquan and will only devour the souls of the dead and will never be contaminated with the sin of killing."
"..."
Lin Qingluo sat on the bench and listened quietly to Nanase Risa's statement.Because asking and questioning are meaningless to her, she will only ask about your wishes, fulfill your wishes, and at the same time take away equivalent 'exchange items' from you.
——Nanase Risa is completely neutral and behaves like an artificial intelligence. She has never revealed her will, but is obsessed with equal exchange.
Last night, at the cost of enduring her mental interference, Lin Qingluo reached an exchange when he remembered the agreement between the two, and obtained the secret from her mouth.
"Our contract with the Lord of Hades is absolute. Those who betray us will lose our protection, suffer spiritual damage, and become... unconscious souls."
There was no emotion in the tone of Nanase Risa's words. Her body was a red ball, and the girl she held in her hand was just a mimic of soul.
"My agreement and wish with Mai Sakurajima is that... I don't want to be observed by others. In exchange, her 'concept of existence' was given to many people. That is... other promises and wishes."
"You are...it's so hard to catch a sheep."
Lin Qingluo has gotten the answer he wants. Although Sakurajima Mai's condition is caused by herself, Nanase Risa's way of fulfilling other people's wishes can be called twisted.
"Nanase Risa, I want to make a promise and wish with you!"
"Say your wish."
"Restore Mai Sakurajima to her original state."
“What has already been formed cannot be changed.”
