after all......
"After actively killing so many people, you should forget about pretending to be pitiful and innocent now."
"Well, although what you said does make sense, and Cocolia is indeed quite hateful, but..."
Theresa, who had woken up at some point, now helplessly protected Bronya behind her.
"Don't be so mean to the child. Look, she's almost crying."
"Branch Director Theresa, I think as a great hero who fights against the Honkai, you should be very clear about one thing."
After turning his head to one side, Lin Yu said indifferently.
"After being questioned by me, she might shed a few tears because of the conscience that has not completely disappeared in her heart."
"But the innocent people who died because of her mother, not only their blood and flesh... no, they probably can't even keep their ashes."
"This girl is underage and might have been bewitched. I didn't break her neck last time, which was the last kindness I showed her."
"...You are right."
Theresa, who was protecting Bronya behind her at this time, said helplessly to Lin Yu.
"Cocolia really deserves to die. If this child is Cocolia's accomplice, even if she was bewitched, she did make a mistake."
"But, she is still young, if it is possible..."
"She is still young, but among those who died in the collapse of Changkong City, there must be children younger than her."
Looking at Theresa who was a little at a loss at this time, Lin Yu said indifferently.
"Although I am not affiliated with the Far East Branch, I am willing to give face to Branch Chief Theresa."
"After all, you are the hero who is fighting the Honkai Impact on the front line. If you want to protect her, I personally have no objection."
Honestly speaking, if the boy in front of her had a bad tone, Theresa might have felt better.
After all, in Theresa's eyes, such a boy is more like an ordinary "human" because of his rich emotions.
In her career of fighting against Honkai for so many years, Theresa has seen too many people whose happiness was destroyed by Honkai.
Some of those people walked out of the shadows, but more of them could be said to have "died" on the day they were attacked by Honkai.
Even if their bodies survived, their souls would completely transform into vengeful ghosts who only wanted revenge on Honkai.
And Lin Yu in front of her gave her this feeling.
Lin Yu seemed very rational when facing Theresa, but to Theresa, who had just woken up but had been eavesdropping on their conversation, the Lin Yu who had previously scolded Bronya was the real Lin Yu.
He, whose happiness had been taken away by the Honkai, had undoubtedly transformed into a vengeful ghost trying to avenge the Honkai.
Under such circumstances, he actually restrained his hatred for Honkai and did not kill Cocolia's relatives who "assisted Honkai". In Theresa's opinion, this was really commendable.
But even so, this young man is still very dangerous.
The world's God is peaceful.
But hidden beneath this calmness is utter madness.
"After all, if I kill you, those people in Changkong City will not be resurrected because of the death of an executioner."
After calming down his emotions, Lin Yu pushed open the door of the room and said to the two people behind him.
"You two are not in good health, so just stay where you are and wait for the problem to be solved."
"Ms. Bronya Zaycek, I don't know if you are truly guilty or just acting, but now, we are all trapped in this strange world. Let's just say we are all on the same boat."
"If you want to get out, don't even think about doing anything at this time."
After saying this, Lin Yu disappeared from their sight.
Theresa, who originally wanted to catch up, suddenly felt that something was wrong the moment she stood up.
"Strange...my body..."
Looking at her powerless hands at this moment, Theresa's eyes flashed with panic.
Because of Kallen's DNA and Honkai Beast's genes, her physical fitness is naturally at the strongest level.
But now, she actually felt a sense of powerlessness that she had never felt since she was born.
On the other hand, Bronya, who had already noticed the abnormality in herself, immediately suppressed the guilt in her heart and began to try to summon the Heavy Armor Bunny.
However, at this moment, she was extremely shocked to find that she could not contact the heavy-duty rabbit.
Something is wrong with this space.
If the Heavy Armored Bunny cannot appear, Bronya's combat power will basically be the same as Zero.
As a result, now, let alone going out to help that man, Bronya can't even protect herself?
.
After leaving the room, Lin Yu went straight to the living room where the quarrel had been going on.
During this time, he tested his own strength and found that the additional skill (resistance to mental attacks) brought by the fragment of the Void Magic Stone actually blocked all the weakening that Ling had inflicted on him.
According to the original plot, Theresa started to cause trouble because of the bell inside the stigmata on her body. In the end, her spirit was forcibly pulled into the stigmata space, and she initially lost all her power.
But now, Lin Yu can use all his skills and strength, which means that Ling's act of pulling him into space and weakening him is also regarded as a mental attack.
If you think about it carefully, after all, what she did was to drag people's spirits into the stigmata space to torture them, and then try to make Yae Sakura collapse by torturing Theresa, so as to take over Yae Sakura's body.
Looking at it this way, my chances of winning against her are indeed a bit higher.
The three people in the room...
It seems that Mei will continue to sleep for now.
As for Theresa and Bronya...I don't have the time to protect them.
Even if Ling could manipulate the power in the stigmata space to materialize those villagers, the power she could manipulate was ultimately limited.
The only way for me to get out of this space is to defeat her.
Her power is limited, and she has to use it to attack Theresa and Bronya, so there will be less power available to fight me.
Although this is equivalent to using them as bait, it is better for everyone to do their job and find a way to break through than shouting useless nonsense and then being wiped out by the enemy without thinking through the tactics.
After quickly walking to the place where the quarrel had been going on, Lin Yu pushed open the door directly.
"Miko-sama, those outsiders——"
At this time, a villager who was blaming Yaezakura was suddenly stunned after seeing Lin Yu.
He had never expected those strangers to be so bold, and at this moment he even temporarily forgot to say any words of accusation.
Then, even louder curses broke out at the scene.
"As a miko of Yae Village, you even picked up a stray man!"
"How could you do such a thing?"
"Sacrifice him to the gods quickly, or they will be angry."
Ah, that's enough.
After glancing at the bewildered Yae Sakura, Lin Yu converted his magic power into Honkai energy and directly concentrated the power on his right fist.
"You're so annoying. If you really want to fight..."
"——Just face me head on!"
One blow blasted out.
Lin Yu used the Cosmic Phantom and slammed his fist heavily on the ground in front of him, allowing the power contained in this punch to spread wildly around him.
At this moment, the villagers who were cursing him were dispersed by the force.
The Eightfold God Lord who was originally watching the show was also dispersed by this force.
Except for Yaesakura who didn't react to the situation at all, all the people at the scene were "scattered" in front of this punch.
"...How did you see through my disguise?"
After the mental attack lost its effect, a big fox suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yu.
"My ability should not be easy for ordinary people... no, even the strongest Valkyrie should not be able to see through my ability easily."
"Does it matter?"
Looking at the big fox in front of him, Lin Yu said indifferently.
"You won't let me out anyway, so if I go out, I'll definitely have to deal with you."
"We are enemies, why waste so much time talking? In the end, we still have to compare the size of our fists."
"No, that may not be the case."
Looking at Lin Yu in front of him at this time, Ling said with fear.
"My power doesn't work on you... Hey, human, would you consider cooperating with me?"
"I heard what you said to that little girl before. You hate the human named Cocolia, right?"
"You hate her, but you can't kill her. Don't you think this is frustrating?"
......
Although I know this guy is trying to deceive me, I really can't refute this point.
If I had enough strength, I would definitely find a way to kill Cocolia as soon as possible.
"Look, you're silent."
After seeing Lin Yu's attitude at this time, Ling continued.
"You need more power."
"But you are not strong enough now. You don't have any stigmata or powerful equipment. How can you kill your enemies?"
"Oh, well said - is the next step going to be something like 'I can lend you my power'?"
Listening to Ling's words at this time, Lin Yu sneered and took a fighting stance.
"We are not fools. Guess whether I will believe such a stupid thing as 'someone is willing to give me something for free'."
“I didn’t say it was free.”
At this moment, Ling took two steps forward, got close to Lin Yu's face, and tried hard to force a smile.
"After all, it's pretty boring for me to only exist in the Stigmata. Of course I want to get in touch with the outside world."
"After I help you kill Cocolia, I want you to find me a suitable body."
"You want me to help you kill someone? That's out of the question."
"Aren't you also going to kill someone?"
"After I kill the enemy, I can use her body to revive her. For example, after you kill Cocolia, you won't want to do anything with her body, will you?"
At this moment, Ling narrowed her eyes and tried to make her smile more kind.
After remembering the lines from a comic book she had read in the past, Ling said to Lin Yu.
"Sign a contract with me and become a magical boy."
"After you gain power, you will be able to do many things that you want to do but cannot do now, and you will naturally be able to live more freely."
Yaesakura was watching all this from the side, and after recalling everything that happened that year, she felt a chill down her spine from seeing this smile.
Back then, Yae Sakura developed resentment towards everyone in the village because her sister Yae Rin was forced to death.
But if that were all, she would just bury this resentment in her heart and live a sad life.
But on that day, after she came into contact with the fox, the fox induced the evil thoughts in her heart.
In the end, even though Kallen stopped Yae Sakura and even found a way to seal the fox, all the villagers died because of Yae Sakura's rampage.
Looking back now, did those villagers really deserve to die?
Yaezakura didn't know the answer.
But she knew very well that this big fox was a demon who could manipulate the evil thoughts in other people's hearts.
Once a contract is signed with her, the other party will unknowingly amplify the evil thoughts in the contractor's heart, eventually causing an irreparable tragedy.
However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the man move at this moment.
