At two o'clock in the morning, discussions about Star Map City were abuzz on the Internet.
The good guys called it the "massive collective coma in Star Map City" incident, and various conspiracy theories emerged one after another.
It wasn't until the federal government held an emergency press conference, stating that the incident was caused by a monster and that the monster had been eliminated, that the turmoil calmed down.
Outside the coffee shop, Lin Xiao, wearing a long windbreaker, stopped his motorcycle. He looked as if he didn't know anything about it. He raised his hand to collect the dissipated light particles from the motorcycle between his fingers, and put the vehicle card into the tinder with his backhand.
After walking through the underground stairs and arriving at the investigation team base, Lin Xiao found that the power supply had been restored.
A group of people were standing in front of them with unkind expressions, led by a tall red-haired woman with one eye patch, as if they were checking for suspicious persons.
"Hey!" Hemlock shouted: "Where did you go just now, Lin!"
Lin Xiao glanced at Heshan and said calmly: "Execute the investigation."
Star Map City is shrouded in an unknown barrier, and the corresponding investigation mission is the job of Lin Xiao's sixth team.
"Really?" Hemlock said in a calmer tone: "The group is not very peaceful right now. Even if you are the group leader, you have to take care of yourself."
"What happened?"
Hemlock crossed his arms, his eyes beside the one-eye patch flickered slightly, and said in a low voice:
"A card-destroying master invaded the investigation team, with strength as high as level seven. The leader of the assault team, Yamos, died in the line of duty and unfortunately died. Your subordinate, Raven, was also seriously injured..."
Lin Xiao suppressed his emotions and whispered: "Where is the raven now?"
"Medical room."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, passed by Heshan, and heard her calling him again:
"This incident...is related to the devil?"
"Yes." Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then stepped forward with a deep look.
There may be more than one.
In the medical room, a man covered with bandages was lying on the bed and sleeping, with Sigrid sitting next to him.
Jolina folded her arms and half leaned against the TV cabinet, with a scab on the side of her face, thoughtfully.
Hearing the movement, the two of them glanced at each other. Seeing that it was Lin Xiao, Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief. Jolina's red eyes flashed and she nodded.
Lin Xiao nodded first, and then said: "The crisis of the Demon God of Sloth has been resolved."
Sigrid opened her mouth... Although Lin Xiao has always been known for his efficiency, the efficiency of taking down a demon in one hour is too amazing!
Jolina half lowered her head, closed her eyes and sighed softly: "It has to be you."
Lin Xiao: "How is Brother Chu Yun?"
"The doctor just finished the operation on him and gave him analgesics, and he has fallen asleep now." The secretary said softly: "He led the congressman into a trap, and then...you should have heard the explosion."
Lin Xiao nodded. The explosion coming from the underground pipeline could even be detected by him from a distance.
Brother Chu Yun uses the strength of the fifth level to fight against the seventh-level members. This is the most perfect and difficult battle plan that he can do.
Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Linna again and saw that her cheek was injured, and he could see something soft in her cold eyes.
Qiao Linna stared in trance, seeming to find out something, then turned her head and said calmly:
"Don't blame yourself, don't be sad. We are doing this not just for you."
Lin Xiao was used to this way of comforting words mixed with rough stones.
He nodded and asked: "What happened to Mr. Yamos who died in the line of duty?"
Sigrid glanced at the monitor and then at the tablet in her hand. After confirming that it was correct, she said cautiously:
"He should be the killer codenamed 'Colonel'... Then, the team leader killed him on the duel field."
"Erase?"
"It's just, I can't describe it, it's just a one-sided crushing..." Sigrid said timidly, "The team leader is really strong."
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment.
The doubts in his heart grew stronger.
At this time, Lin Xiao heard Belphegor's faint chuckle ringing in his ears... He didn't know if he had guessed right, or if the direction was completely wrong.
"This lazy guy..." Lin Xiao thought: "We must squeeze her hard and make her stay in the live broadcast room 24 hours a day to work!"
Since Brother Chu Yun suffered physical injuries, the power of gluttony that devoured the virus was not very effective, so he could only rely on himself to slowly recover.
Lin Xiao told Sigrid not to make any noise about the team leader's affairs. He also told her that she didn't need to worry. She was still safe within the investigation team.
After all... even if the team leader is Mammen, according to Belphegor, Mammen is also silently protecting Chu Yun and others.
Although she didn't know Mammon's true purpose, Lin Xiao could at least know that he was coming for her. He would not threaten those around her like Roman did.
After this failed assassination operation, the Federation will be quiet for a while...
It was enough for Lin Xiao to use this time to consolidate the newly acquired power of original sin and show his force to the world.
After leaving the investigation team, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Lin Xiao looked at the girl with high ponytail beside him:
"If you stay up all night, won't Mr. Jones talk about you?"
"He knew I wouldn't listen, so he indulged me."
Jolina materialized a motorcycle, sat on it, and said calmly: "Maybe one day I take a man back, and he will scold me."
Lin Xiao: "Take the man back?"
Qiao Linna looked deeply at Lin Xiao, with a fleeting shyness in her eyes. She pushed the accelerator, and the sound of the engine covered up her farewell:
"Good night, sweet dreams."
The graceful back and flying ponytail disappeared at the end of the corner.
The spirit body of the Sloth Witch appeared next to Lin Xiao.
Belphegor crossed his arms and said lazily: "Lin, do you think there is 'marriage happiness' in this world?"
Lin Xiao: "What kind of strange topic is this?"
According to legend, Belphegor was assigned by Lucifer to find out whether there is really "marriage happiness" in the world.
This legend not only shows Lucifer's status, but also reveals Lucifer's curiosity and gossip about human beings.
"Perhaps, humans who like each other can really achieve happiness by getting married." Belphegor said casually.
Lin Xiao was slightly startled, very puzzled.
Belphegor rolled his eyes charmingly, indicating that this guy was hopeless, dispersed into particles of light, and went back to sleep.
Those unconscious killers will be taken back to Kane by Doctor Beak, so there is no need for Lin Xiao to worry about them.
He got on his motorcycle and returned home to summarize the operation.
Contracting Belphegor and obtaining "Power of Sloth" and "Sapphire" is just one of them.
More importantly, he obtained clues to the Demon God of Greed and the Demon God of Jealousy.
And tonight is the showdown with Augustus.
According to the agreement, after the duel, Lin Xiao needed to exchange information about the [Sanctuary] with Augustus.
The ‘unparalleled national warriors’ from various countries are searching for traces of the Holy Land.
By communicating with Augustus, you may be able to broaden your horizons and gain some information related to the doomsday.
Before that, the most important thing is to win this duel.
Lin Xiao looked at the crystal clear sapphire in his hand, feeling the blue 'power of laziness' in it, and fell into deep thought.
Augustus' trump card is the legendary Odin's divine spear, Kungunir, also known as the 'Spear of Eternity'.
It is said that this gun has its own authority and has the attribute that "it will definitely hit the target when thrown" and can penetrate anything it hits.
When Odin threw Kungunir, it was like lightning streaking across the sky, so some mortals mistakenly regarded the thrown Kungunir as a "shooting star".
However, Kungunir is not impossible to avoid. No matter how fast the spear is, it cannot outrun destiny. Therefore, targets blessed by good luck can always avoid the lock of the eternal spear.
Meanwhile, Kungunir has little effect against giant units.
After all, Odin held the spear of eternity and died at the mouth of the demon wolf Fenrir. This shows that the "must-hit spear" cannot kill the huge demon wolf that can swallow the world with one blow.
Lin Xiao had heard about Augustus's deeds, and everyone in the world was in awe of her legendary trump card.
However, after tonight, there may be a question mark as to whether Augustus' eternal spear is "certain to hit".
…
…
After staying up all night, when Lin Xiao woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Shortly after waking up, Lin Xiao received a contact from Doctor Niaozui.
"The mission failed. Chairman Kane was furious and left the conference room directly." Doctor Beak said helplessly: "It must be hard for him to explain to Mr. Roman that he lost two generals."
The colonel and the congressman, two seventh-level national soldiers, died at the investigation team base.
And this is entirely her own fault. Margaret could have reported to the headquarters on the grounds that "the card-destroying master invaded the base."
Lin Xiao was more concerned about Kane's next move:
"Does he have any follow-up action plans?"
"At the moment, there is none, but I can't guarantee your safety yet..."
"It's okay, leave it to me next." Lin Xiao said sincerely, "Thank you, doctor."
Doctor Beak sighed: "It's me who should be grateful to you for being merciful to the cowboys and others. After all, they are still a viable force against monsters. I will treat them and make them give up the idea of being your enemy...
In the final analysis, humans’ enemies have always been monsters.”
"Your ideas are great." Lin Xiao said, "It's normal not to be understood."
"No, at least you can understand." Doctor Bird's Beak said seriously: "You have absolute power, but you use it to save the world. I think the reason why saints are saints is precisely because they possess great power and a certain ideal.
Have a heart to save the world!"
Lin Xiao was slightly startled.
The doctor's words inspired him. But in fact, he was not as great as the other person imagined.
I have never thought about saving the world or mankind.
To be a player who does whatever he wants... This is Lin Xiao's most instinctive philosophy.
However, he does not play in a disorderly and chaotic manner.
He has integrated into this world and touched individuals with sincere emotions.
Therefore, protecting the things he cherishes and becoming stronger along the way is his rule of passage.
Lin Xiao naturally skipped the topic: "See you later."
"Okay, I'll contact you anytime if anything happens!" Doctor Niaozui said.
Lin Xiao hung up the phone and rubbed his chin.
It's really convenient to have a mole...
At noon, Lin Xiao went to the investigation team to visit Chu Yun.
He has regained consciousness and needs to stay in bed for a while.
"I'll bring you some fruit." Lin Xiao carried the fruit basket, "Should I feed you or should you eat it yourself?"
Chu Yun's face, which was tightly wrapped in bandages, had only one pair of eyes, looking at Lin Xiao indifferently.
As if asking, what do you think?
"Forget it." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "I'd better eat it myself."
After sitting for a while, the doctor came in and asked not to disturb the patient, so Lin Xiao had to leave.
In the corridor, Lin Xiao accidentally bumped into the team leader, pretending to be calm and said: "Hello, team leader."
According to what the little secretary said, this is a card master who can single-kill a seventh-level card master, so we have to guard against it...
Margaret ignored it, turned around and said, "Come to the office with me."
Lin Xiao was startled, so as not to alert the enemy, he followed Margaret's footsteps.
Snap.
The mahogany double doors were closed, and under the majestic oil painting, Margaret walked towards the rosewood table and asked lightly:
"How did the investigation go last night?"
"It can be confirmed that it is the domain of the Demon God of Sloth, so last night's case can be characterized as a Demon God incident." Lin Xiao said.
"Well." Margaret sat in the boss's chair, eyes lowered, looking through the documents on the table, "Have you found any traces of the devil?"
"No."
"Really?" Margaret didn't go into details, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, but she stopped talking.
Margaret raised her eyes from the document and said in a calm tone: "Is there anything else?"
"No more." Lin Xiao leaned forward slightly, "The work report is over, please allow me to retire."
No matter whether the team leader is Mammon or not.
Tonight is my time to show off to the world.
Don't pay attention to the conspiracy and calculation... because there is no need.
Lin Xiao walked to the mahogany gate, and suddenly Margaret's soft call came from behind:
"Forest……"
Lin Xiao turned his head.
The red-haired woman's eyes were as beautiful as a pool of clear water, just like the working sister next door. She crossed her fingers on her chin and showed a gentle smile:
"Let's go on a date."
Lin Xiao was caught off guard and said: "There is still work today..."
"I am the team leader and I will give you a day off."
Margaret stood up, walked to Lin Xiao, took his arm, her white shirt was soft on her chest, and said with a smile:
"Go on a date with me. I'll tell you a secret."
Lin Xiao's mind was quickly thinking about the clues to the Demon God of Greed. A large number of clues were pieced together, but they became blurred with the smell of perfume.
"What secret?" Lin Xiao quietly used the power of arrogance and asked.
Margaret's eyes shimmered, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling:
"Secrets about the Demon God."
…
amusement park.
The red-haired woman held two marshmallows and handed one to her with a smile. Lin Xiao shook her head and refused, so she handed the other one to the child.
Ferris wheel.
When the skyscraper reached its highest point, the red-haired woman looked over with her chin raised, her eyes gentle. Lin Xiao turned to look at the scenery outside the cabin.
aquarium.
A huge humpback whale swam above their heads. The red-haired woman stood among the laughing children, looking at the whale with her hands behind her hands, her eyes lonely.
Cinema.
A boring love movie was playing on the screen. When the hero and heroine were kissing, Lin Xiao heard rustling sounds beside her. Margaret leaned into her ear and whispered:
"Kissing would be more fun before the end."
Lin Xiao turned his head, looked into the red-haired woman's eyes, and said:
"Have you tried?"
"Do you want to try it?" Margaret's eyes flickered.
"I don't want the world to end yet." Lin Xiao looked at the screen.
The two watched the movie quietly, and Margaret said dullly:
"Let's go, it's boring."
Leaving the venue early, the two walked out of the shopping mall, where a few pigeons parked in the square at dusk.
"There will be a live broadcast of Augustus and the Epee Man tonight."
Margaret said calmly: "It will definitely be more interesting than the movie."
"What is the secret about the devil you are talking about?"
Lin Xiao knew that when he asked this question, he admitted his identity as an "epee man" in disguise.
But it doesn't matter, after all, in two hours, it will be his duel with Augustus.
"The devil usually regards himself as the master of the human world, but there are many cases where he makes a contract with humans."
Margaret folded her hands and said calmly: "For example, King Solomon, the human king who made contracts with seventy-two demon gods in history."
"This is the secret I want to tell you..."
Margaret turned around, looked deeply, and said slowly:
"Headquarters and federal authorities recently excavated a ruins. The owner of the ruins is the legendary King Solomon."
Lin Xiao: "Even if King Solomon made a contract with the devil, he has already passed away for thousands of years..."
"Yes, but some things will not fade with the passage of time, such as the mythical ore that can create miracles and is called the fifth element..."
Lin Xiao seemed to realize something, and her heart moved.
Materials that can allow Ace to break through the eighth level!
"In the ruins of King Solomon, this substance that should have disappeared was detected. According to legend, this ore can only be held by saints..."
Margaret smiled slightly:
"So, people call it, [Philosopher's Stone]."
Lin Xiao's breathing was a little tight.
He had to admit that he was a little tempted.
After all, I really need to use the [Philosopher's Stone] to let the Meteoric Sword break through the eighth level.
However, firstly, this news may not be accurate; secondly, if this news is true, it will definitely attract the attention of card masters who also covet the eighth level.
Lin Xiao: "Why did you tell me about the Philosopher's Stone?"
"I said it. This is your date with me."
The afterglow of dusk fell on Margaret's soft fishbone hair, and there seemed to be a flickering golden light in her gentle eyes, and she smiled slightly:
"I promise your secret."
