Chapter 221: Emphasizing sex over friends

Lin Qiye glanced at Wang Ye, then turned to look at Ling Yunxiao.

"Brother Ling, I still want to believe in Yu'er."

"Brother, in our line of work, we need evidence. If you don't have any evidence or a reason to convince me, then I'd rather believe our captain."

Ling Yunxiao gave Wang Ye a look, and Wang Ye, without looking up, spoke to Lin Qiye in a very roguish voice, while his hand holding the relic tightened even more.

"This forbidden item is glittering with gold; doesn't it have any effect in warding off evil spirits or identifying contamination?"

An Qingyu asked again, unwilling to give up, but Wang Ye's words almost made him give up.

"This is just a pile of bald monk bones. What kind of exorcising effect could it have? Besides, the bald monk who gave me this relic is no good either. It's normal for him to have done something wrong and deliberately harm me."

Wang Ye is like a stubborn rogue, determined to kill An Qingyu on the spot today.

"Uh... I have a magic circle here that can identify souls, I can give it a try!"

Suddenly, Lin Qiye thought of something, and before anyone could react, he called out Merlin.

Merlin didn't activate the magic circle at all. He just looked at An Qingyu and then shook his head at everyone with a smile.

"He's not the person I've met before, but he's not just anyone either, so don't worry!"

"..."

No one seemed at ease, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Finally, Ling Yunxiao grinned at An Qingyu. He then took out the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, and gently wrote: "Reincarnation, longing for home; past lives, present lives."

Four figures slowly emerged from the spider lilies. They gathered their power, and a dim, ambiguous light enveloped An Qingyu.

Then, a delicate, ethereal soul appeared in the void. Beside him was a cluster of billions of radiant spheres, connected to endless, twisted, and ethereal tentacles and chunks of flesh.

"kill me!"

The delicate soul emitted a weak voice, while Yog Sothoth beside him was already blurring his own form.

Wang Mian's Demon-Slaying Sword and Wang Ye's Black Blade were swung out simultaneously, this time without any sharpness, only as fast as a streak of light. The four judges were not idle either, raising their weapons and swinging them at Yog-Sothoth at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The next second, Yog Sothos's body, which was filled with billions of rays of light, suddenly dissipated, most of which turned into starlight and crashed down on Ling Yunxiao and Lin Qiye.

Merlin quickly erected a barrier, protecting Lin Qiye within it, while the light of the night also fell, enveloping the area outside Merlin's magic circle.

Ling Yunxiao, however, showed no intention of moving at all, instead looking curiously into the void, waiting for Yog Sothoth to arrive without flinching.

"Boom bang bang..."

The starlight fell, striking the magic shield and dark divine power in front of Lin Qiye with a dull thud.

Meanwhile, even more starlight struck in front of Ling Yunxiao, disappearing without a trace just half a step away from him, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"It seems that Yog Sothos only wanted to make a feint and did not intend to attack two people at the same time. In fact, his target was only Lin Qiye."

Merlin explained in a low voice, somewhat ashamed, and even dared not look at Ling Yunxiao.

"You're only half right. Yog Sothos does have only one target, and that target isn't Lin Qiye."

Wang Ye and Wang Mian had already sheathed their weapons. They had no objection to Merlin's choice to protect Lin Qiye in this critical moment. After all, with his strength, it was already quite an achievement that he could provide Lin Qiye with a shield. If he had chosen to save both of them at this time, he might not have been able to save either of them.

As for why they didn't choose Ling Yunxiao, there's not much to say. If it were the two of them who saw Ling Yunxiao and Lin Qiye in danger, they wouldn't hesitate at all when making their choice.

Ling Yunxiao hadn't even activated his Witch Clan bloodline; he didn't think he was going to die. Even if things went wrong, the captain would definitely run back to remind him—what was the problem?

Having already cast an infallible overtime prophecy, what else is there to worry about?

As for the fate of those starlight that were scattered by the blessing of Houtu on Ling Yunxiao, they are nothing more than Yog Sothoth at some unknown point in time. Even the Black Goat has countless clones. Who can predict how many points in time this guy who walks in the river of time has left his footprints?

"Living towards death"

Just as Ling Yunxiao was about to speak with Wang Mian, he inadvertently saw An Qingyu's soul slowly dissipating in the void and quickly revived him.

"Hmph... What were you all hesitating about just now? Didn't Captain Wangmian already see the future? Just do it! If my fish species doesn't have a chance to revive, I will do everything in my power to take most of his energy down with me."

Next time, I hope you can make the most cost-effective choice.

An Qingyu did not thank him. After saying these words, she turned to look at Ling Yunxiao.

"Senior brother, in a daze I saw the Gate of Truth, and some of my memories about you were restored. However, my memories are too chaotic, so I have temporarily forgotten them."

"I'll restore my strength when I'm strong enough! But definitely not now. Don't force me to grow stronger. If you restore my strength again now, the probability of being silently replaced by that thing is over 99%."

After saying this, An Qingyu walked slowly to Lin Qiye before anyone could speak and extended her hand to him.

"Thank you for your unwavering belief in me. However, next time I hope you can listen to other people's opinions. If my life can be exchanged for the door of truth being closed forever, and Yog Sothoth never appearing, it would be worth it."

Lin Qiye looked at An Qingyu, and at this moment he realized that he had been tricked again. He almost really killed Yu'er and some other people here.

"..."

However, he still couldn't bring himself to say that he would resolutely swing his knife at the fish next time...

An Qingyu didn't make things difficult for Lin Qiye, after all, Qiye's memories were also sealed. Their relationship was just so-so now. He withdrew his hand from Lin Qiye's outstretched face and walked to Ling Yunxiao with a smile.

"In my jumbled memories, I seem to see a girl. After basic training, senior, could you let me join the 008 Squad stationed in Lintang City?"

"Hehe... Your memories of me are completely sealed, and your memories of Qi Ye are completely forgotten... But when it comes to Jiang Er, you've even memorized her house number, haven't you?"

Ling Yunxiao rolled his eyes at the boy who was lustful and neglected his friends, but he didn't refuse his request. Given Ling Yunxiao's current status in the headquarters, this was nothing more than a phone call from Zhang Ziliang.
