Ling, unable to move, could only watch as the magic lantern barrier weakened her power again and again, and then...
After more than ten seconds, the fox demon disappeared in front of everyone.
Instead, a pink-haired girl bound by chains appeared on the ground.
Seeing the girl's appearance at this moment, Yae Sakura suddenly cried out.
"cold......!"
This is not Yaezakura's fault.
After all, Ling, who revealed her true identity at this time, looked too similar to her sister Yae Rin.
"Restraints...let me go!"
At this time, Ling was struggling non-stop, and there was only hatred in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yu.
"Why are you on the side of humans? Humans are obviously——"
"If possible, please don't frame me."
Listening to the footsteps coming from behind, Lin Yu said very calmly.
"I am only a human being, not what you call a 'restraint'."
Are you kidding? If I really wanted to restrain myself, would it be necessary to go through so much trouble to beat you up?
"Human? You?"
Looking at Lin Yu's cold eyes, Ling said with resentment.
"No matter who you are - if you want to kill or chop you up, just do it!"
Humph, after all, humans are just such despicable creatures.
Come on, after you kill me once again, you can rest assured that I, who am hiding in the Holy Mark Space, will invade your body.
"Kill you? Why would I do this?"
At this time, Lin Yu looked at the space that was about to collapse. He raised his right hand slightly, and let the iron chains woven with magic power bind Ling even tighter.
At this moment, he directly covered Ling's body with the slide barrier, and spoke to the puzzled Ling.
"Killing you will do me no good."
"Just stay here and reflect on yourself."
Use love to influence Ling, this is the strategy in the original book.
But to be honest, the so-called "influence with love" thing is very particular about one's state of mind.
In the original novel, Delisa was able to directly influence Ling because this woman truly had great love in her heart.
Even though she knew that it was her grandfather who killed her most important friend, Theresa was still willing to forgive her grandfather.
Lin Yu asked himself that he was not so broad-minded.
If a person whom he hated so much was placed in front of him, Lin Yu might twist the other person's head off without saying a word if he was mentally prepared.
As for Ling, as long as there is real hatred in the heart of the person she is trying to seduce, she can slowly turn the other person into a malicious pseudo-Herserker just like infecting Yaezakura's body and mind.
Mei Raiden in the original novel has already told the audience how miserable it is to become a Herrscher.
[Darkness surges in from all directions, as if tearing his body into pieces]——This is the future that the body must face the moment it becomes a Herrscher.
And after that, the awakened Herrscher personality will try to suppress and erase the human personality of the body, and finally use the Herrscher's body as its own.
Lin Yu felt that he was living a pretty good life...
Well, although he was forced by destiny to complete the mission and was forced by the anti-entropy troublemakers to help suppress Raiden Mei, and he had to run around every day to survive, he still felt that such a life was not particularly bad.
Not to mention how painful it is to become a Herrscher. When the Herrscher personality suppresses his current personality, can Lin Yu still say that he is himself?
It's not like you're desperate. Why would you become a Herrscher when you're young and have nothing to do?
As for killing Ling, Lin Yu also had no intention of doing it.
The previous era had already shown what the consequences of killing the Corrosion Ruler would be. Lin Yu felt that he should not have the stupid idea of "let's see if this little girl who is more than 50,000 years old still has the power to control those computers to drop bombs."
He couldn't persuade him, nor could he kill him. In the end, he could only make a compromise.
At this time, Lin Yu was already a magician in a sense after fusing the fragments of the Void Magic Stone.
Being able to use a large amount of magic power to weave iron chains to block the enemy is also proof that he has initially mastered this powerful magic.
As a magician, Lin Yu, after releasing the magic lantern barrier and using the magic lantern barrier combined with the iron rope to bind Ling who had lost a lot of power, was enough to seal her in the stigmata space in a short time.
Of course, after a long time, Ling will still try to escape from Lin Yu's body or invade his body after recovering a certain amount of strength.
But at least now, Lin Yu, who sealed it, should be safe for the time being... right?
[After tying up the extremely miserable girl with iron chains, you suddenly had an idea. ]
[Anyway, these people who were suddenly pulled into this space may not remember everything here after they get out. We should do it now, otherwise...]
[Let's use the invincible slide barrier to have a grand party! ]
President, I'm glad you came out to remind me that it's safe.
But as soon as you come out and do this, I will be very unhappy - am I this kind of person?
[Am I that kind of person? You questioned the system, and at this moment, you sneered in your heart—Of course I am that kind of person.]
Hey! Don't slander me!
[After you get out, you plan to use the magic lantern barrier to check if Theresa and Bronya have any information they shouldn't have.]
[Since using the slide barrier is already a foregone conclusion, then... hehehe. ]
Well, if possible, I still hope to be a human being.
Two people of this size... No, the person who wrote your AI wouldn't really be able to do that, right?
This is too natural.
[This system didn't say that, you just overthink it. ]
I really hope it's just me being too dark.
【Then...】
[Ding! It has been detected that the host meets the conditions for receiving the reward. The reward has been sent to the system mailbox. ]
Oh, here it comes, let me see...
After opening the system mailbox, Lin Yu saw the reward he received from the system this time.
[Ding! The reward received by the host this time is (Special Item-Advanced Item Raffle Ticket). ]
[(Special Item - Advanced Item Raffle Ticket) - Special item. The holder of this item can use it to draw a lottery and randomly select an item that has a high probability of matching the holder from the system item library.]
Ah, although it’s a bit greedy, I’m still a little curious - why not ten consecutive draws.
[First of all, the frontal combat strength of the 'Corrosion Herrscher' is far inferior to that of the 'Thunder Herrscher'. You can only achieve the tenth consecutive hit after defeating the Thunder Herrscher.]
[Secondly, the rewards for 'surviving a crisis' are dynamic. You are now much stronger than before.]
[Finally, although you have survived this existential crisis, do you really think this is the end?]
that's true.
I have already imprisoned Ling. Given our relationship now, she must hate me to death.
[But this system is very curious. In this situation where there is a crisis at any time, you have never thought of using the threat of the Herrscher to fix the bug? ]
I'm actually not a smart person.
【I see.】
But I'm not some idiot.
When the threat exists, I choose to jump back and forth, trying to "obtain" the survival threat and then "solve" the survival threat in this way. It seems to be very beautiful - a big deal.
Threats exist objectively. If I act on the existential crisis that you have determined to be a threat to my life safety with the intention of [completeing tasks], sooner or later I will kill myself.
This is not a game, it's survival.
This is no joke.
[...Oh, well said.]
【But there may be other reasons. 】
Oh, since I can’t hide it from you, I’ll just tell you straight out.
I, Lin Yu, don’t have any special abilities. The only reason I was able to be resurrected and get to where I am today is because of the support you give me, the system.
I don't know what you were thinking, but the fact is that you helped me.
I was secretly thinking of taking advantage of someone who had done me a favor and had not violated my principles... This was really not a good idea.
Besides, how could a super-dimensional system be fooled by an ordinary person with an IQ of no more than 130?
I'm trying to find a loophole. I don't know if I'll succeed, but the chances of making you angry are pretty high.
What good will it do me to anger you?
Emotionally I don't think this should be done.
From a profit perspective, I think this is stupid.
So - why would I bother thinking about something so stupid that would repay kindness with enmity, would have a very high chance of putting my life in danger, and would have a very low chance of making a profit?
[...Hey, you see things very clearly.]
Moreover, I think your fun system definitely has a tendency to fish.
There must have been people who were not afraid of death who did this in the past.
【Indeed there is. 】
Then they...
[Why do you think this system is on you? 】
that's true.
In the last moment before the space collapsed, Lin Yu saw Yaezakura who wanted to open her mouth to speak and Ling who was still staring at him.
But for the two of them, no matter what they did, they could not interfere with the established fact that the Holy Mark Space was about to collapse.
In the next moment, the space where everyone was located was shattered.
Lin Yu, who regained consciousness, found out after waking up...
Ah, I really don’t want to move.
After fighting with Ling in the stigmata space, I felt even more tired.
And...
Looking at Kiana lying on him, Lin Yu said helplessly.
"Kiana, let me go..."
"You're so heavy..."
"Senior?!"
After hearing Lin Yu's voice, Kiana immediately looked up in surprise and saw Lin Yu's pale face and distracted eyes.
"You, you didn't... No, you look like something's wrong!"
【Oh, look! Look! 】
[For a girl who is concerned about her weight, saying "You are heavy" should be a taboo. ]
[But at this moment, after you stepped on the minefield, the schoolgirl in front of you didn't care about your words at all, but focused all her attention on your physical and mental safety. ]
[Looking at the girl in front of you who is full of worry about you, you are sure that this time, it is really a sure thing! ]
[Paramecium, Get daze! ]
Oh, it would be great if you weren't such a chatterbox.
"Don't worry, Kiana. I'm really fine. I'm just a little...tired."
After saying the last word with gritted teeth, Lin Yu looked at his right hand which was now feeling a stinging pain.
