Chapter 397 Thunder Movie (Two in One)

Rice wife, castle tower.

This is the residence of General Lei Dian. The space inside is very large, and it is also where royal duels are held and diplomatic envoys are received.

Li Qiuzhi pushed open the door and walked in.

He found that although there were no windows here, the floor-standing lamps on both sides emitted a bright white light that shone on the lavender walls, making the place not look gloomy at all.

Instead, it gives people a sense of dignity and majesty.

Li Qiuzhi looked forward and saw a woman with long dark purple hair standing on the steps at the bottom of the house, with her arms folded and her back to him.

"."

As he walked slowly forward, he was struggling with how to address her.

Should we say "I am a humble commoner, I greet the General" or "I am the humble one, I greet the General"? Or should we just call him "General"?
The first one himself is not the general's subject, so it seems a bit inappropriate to call himself that; the second one sounds a bit pretentious.

As expected, I’d better choose the third one, which is more casual. General Lei Dian won’t mind these things.

Li Qiuzhi walked to the bottom of the stairs and greeted politely:

"Um. Meet the General."

General Lei Dian turned around without saying a word, looked at Li Qiuzhi quietly, and then said in a cold tone:
"Will you be the enemy that hinders Eternity?"

"Of course not. My friends and I only came to Inazuma for travel and adventure. How could we become the enemy of the general for no reason?"

Li Qiuzhi quickly answered in the negative.

He was really afraid that if he said yes, the general would immediately draw his sword from his chest.

"That's good."

General Lei Dian said just this one sentence and then extended his right hand above his half-exposed snow-white chest.

Looking at her movements, Li Qiuzhi secretly thought that something was wrong.

You don't really want to let him go, right? Ever since he came to Inazuma, he has been well-behaved and hasn't broken the law, at least not openly!

Are they going to chop all of this off? Is the general too stingy, or is he too stubborn about "eternity"? !
Before Li Qiuzhi could think about it, lightning flashed in front of him, and the general drew out "Dream Heart" again. Just as Li Qiuzhi summoned the purple hourglass phantom to deal with it.

Suddenly I found that the space was spinning and changing.

Li Qiuzhi took a closer look and found that in addition to the General of Thunder who was standing at the beginning, there was another General of Thunder who was half-sitting in the air with his right ankle resting under his left knee and his eyes closed.

The surrounding environment also changed. The sky was dark red, and the ground was paved with hard stones with many patterns, like a martial arts arena.

This is the "Pure Land of One Heart", the extra person here is Lei Dianying!
Li Qiuzhi thought with certainty.

As expected by Yae Shinko, Lei Dianying wanted to see him, and if nothing unexpected happened, it should really be related to his ability to stop time.

"We meet for the second time, visitors from another world."

Lei Dianying opened her eyes, revealing the same lavender pupils. Her entire body, both in terms of clothing and appearance, was exactly the same as the general.

If there is any difference, it is temperament.

The general has a unique majestic and cold temperament. Compared with the general, Lei Dianying's temperament is a little softer and more restrained.

This means that even if they look exactly the same, it's still easy to tell who is who.

Li Qiuzhi knew everything clearly in her mind, but she couldn't show it in front of them, for fear of arousing suspicion again.

He thought for a moment, his eyes shifted between the general and the shadow, and asked in confusion:
"The second meeting? Are you referring to the vision I saw that day? Uh, by the way, why are there two generals?"

As for Ying knowing that he was a visitor from another world, there was nothing strange about it.

Wendy and Zhongli could also see it.

Lei Dianying had no interest in answering Li Qiuzhi's questions. She shifted her gaze to the purple hourglass shadow above Li Qiuzhi's head for a while, then shifted her gaze back to him.

"Is this hourglass the reason you stopped time? Can you trade it to me? I'm very interested in it."

Lei Dianying said bluntly.

Since she has already pulled Li Qiuzhi into "One Heart Pure Land", there is no option for him to refuse.

It’s okay to sacrifice a little reputation for “eternity”.

"I'm sorry, General. This is my innate ability. The hourglass shadow is just its manifestation. It cannot be traded."

Good job, Lei Dianying, you really covet my time ability! Li Qiuzhi was not very happy in his heart, but he said it respectfully on the surface, and explained the ability of the purple hourglass in detail.

Where are the two thunder gods? Hiss, I can’t afford to offend them! I can’t afford to offend them!

"Oh? Is that so? How about you stay here and cooperate with me in the research of the power of time? When there is any result, I can also give you a generous reward, or you can ask for it now."

Lei Diandian was a little disappointed that the purple hourglass could not be traded, but for the sake of "eternity" she would not give up so easily.

Since the hourglass cannot retain anything, the same cannot be said for people who are left behind.

In her heart, "eternity" means something that remains unchanged for thousands of generations, and the stillness of time is closest to what she thinks is "eternity".

As long as she also masters this ability, she will be able to enter an eternal state of time stillness, completely avoiding "wear and tear" and making up for the general's final shortcoming.

As for the idea of ​​mastering the power of time and making the entire Inazuma stand still in time and directly reach "eternity", Lei Dianying has also thought about this.

But doing so would require energy that even the gods could not provide.

I can only give up this idea temporarily.

"It is my honor to serve you, General. However, I would like to ask you, General, how do you want to study the power of time?"

Li Qiuzhi did not refuse immediately because he came here just to make a deal with the general.

But she had to ask Lei Diandian clearly how she wanted her to cooperate with her. As long as his life was not endangered, she said there was no problem with him staying here with her.

It even suited his mind.

After all, this way they can always get along, and when Lei Dianying needs me, I don't have to worry about not being able to gain his favor.

When the favorability level is high and you have a certain position in her heart, it doesn't matter what conditions you agreed upon before.

"You just need to release the power of time as I ask. I will allow you to have a fixed rest time every day, and you can go out to visit friends, eat, and sleep."

Considering that Li Qiuzhi is a human being and cannot work for her without sleep, Ying generously gave him time to rest, mainly for sustainable research.

Otherwise, if his body collapsed, where would she find someone who could still use the power of time? She was still clear about this.

"Oh, do you still have time to rest?" Li Qiuzhi was a little surprised. He nodded and said with a smile, "Since the general is so sincere, I agree."

"very good."

Lei Dianying was very satisfied with Li Qiuzhi's ready agreement, so she didn't need to use tough measures.

[General Raiden (Lei Dianying) has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 200 favorable impressions, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.2 (100/200)]

Li Qiuzhi was a little surprised when he saw the favorability prompt that popped up on the character panel.

There is a parenthesis after "Raiden General" - "Raiden Movie". Does this mean that they both have feelings for me at the same time? Or is it that because their souls are one, one person's feelings for the other will also affect the other?
Based on his experience and intuition, Li Qiuzhi felt that it should be the latter.

However, this is only the first time I have gained their favor, and there are not enough cases. Once they have a favorable impression of me a few more times, it should become clear.

Lei Dianying didn't know what Li Qiuzhi was thinking. After achieving her goal, her feeling towards Li Qiuzhi improved a little bit.

She thought for a while and said:

"In that case, you can tell me the compensation you need. I can satisfy you as long as I can."

Anything is fine? Are you so satisfied? Are you willing to give me the Heart of God? Or the knife "Dream of Oneness"?

Well, the first one might be easy, but the second one is basically impossible. If I ask for this knife, she will probably hate me.

After all, the knife was left by Ying's sister, Raiden Zhen.

Speaking of which, the reason why Lei Dianying became so obsessed with "eternity" was because her sister and friends left her one after another for various reasons.

She was desperate and didn't want to lose anyone again.

That is why we have taken the wrong path of pursuing "eternity that will remain unchanged for thousands of generations".

Li Qiuzhi remembered that the knife "Dream One Heart" still had the faint will left by Lei Dianzhen in it. When Lei Dian used all the power of the knife, he would be able to release her.

If I tell her this news, will she be able to get rid of some of the shadows of the past?
Well. The idea is good, but he couldn't explain how he knew that "Dream One Heart" had her sister's will. Let's talk about it when the right opportunity comes later.

Li Qiuzhi pondered for a while and decided to go ahead with the original plan and talk to General Yinghe about abolishing the "Eye Hunting Order".

This is something I promised to many girls, and I must do it!
"General, can you really do everything you can?" Li Qiuzhi looked at Yinghe and General for confirmation.

"Don't you believe me?" Lei Dianying raised his eyebrows.

"Ah, no, no, the general would not say anything joking." Li Qiuzhi waved his hand quickly and continued, "Well, the general is actually like this.

"Before arriving at Inazuma Castle, my friends and I ventured around Yagyu Island and encountered a battle between the shogunate army and the rebels.

"That scene was quite frightening, and the nearby villagers were displaced because of it. I guess the 'eternity' that the general is pursuing is not an 'eternity' that causes the people to suffer.

"So I would like to ask the General to abolish the 'Eye Hunting Order' and bring peace to this country. Only a peaceful world can have the meaning of 'eternity'."

Li Qiuzhi didn't have great public speaking skills, he just expressed his inner feelings.

"Abolish the 'Eye Hunting Order'. Humph, are you also in the same group with those who resist?"

Before Lei Dianying could answer, General Lei Dian, who had been silent nearby, spoke first and questioned Li Qiuzhi in a cold tone.

"General, you have misunderstood. I have only been here from Liyue for a short time. How can I be a member of the resistance army? I just feel a little sympathetic towards the suffering people. I hope that the General can abolish the Eye Hunting Order and stop the war."

Li Qiuzhi said with a sincere look.

This was indeed what he thought in his heart. Judging from the impact it caused, the "Eye Hunting Order" was indeed not a very good system and it should be abolished.

"The existence of 'Wish' is not conducive to 'Eternity'. Please change your request."

Although Kujo Takayuki tried to suppress many of the negative effects caused by the "Eye Hunting Order", Ying and the General naturally would not really know nothing.

They know everything about eternity.

But even so, Ying still thinks "eternity" is more important.

The problem is that Ying's idea of ​​"eternity" is not good for anyone, including herself. However, Li Qiuzhi can't change her deep-rooted ideas with just a few words.

So I could only follow her meaning and say:
"But General, aren't you planning to study the power of time? Stopping time is a better solution than the 'Eye Hunting Order'. Once you figure it out, 'eternity' will be within your reach.

"There is no need to keep Inazuma at war during this period. It will cause everyone to lose more."

"lose."

Hearing this word, Lei Dianying didn't know what she remembered. Her pupils were slightly absent-minded. She pondered for a moment and said:
“Those who pursue ‘wishes’ may not cause less ‘loss’ to the world than wars. In fact, many wars in the world are caused by them.”

Lei Dianying did not agree with what Li Qiuzhi said.

"But I said that you can ask for anything I can do. If you insist on abolishing the 'Eye Hunting Order', I can abolish it according to your will.

"But I'm not sure if I can get the general's approval."

Although she did not agree with Li Qiuzhi's words, Ying was willing to fulfill her promise, so she looked at the general next to her.

When the general was born, Lei Dianying set up the underlying operating logic for her based on the goal of "eternity", which even she herself could not change at will.

Because she was worried that one day she would be affected by "wear and tear" and her pursuit of "eternity" would be shaken.

If the general wants to change the "Eye Hunting Order", a system related to "eternity", her approval is necessary.

First, we need to make sure that Lei Films has not been affected by "wear and tear", and then cancel the current plan and come up with a better plan.

In addition, you can also choose to defeat the general until he surrenders.

General Raiden's expression did not change at all because of Ying's gaze. She crossed her arms and said to Ying calmly:
"I witnessed your entire transaction. I acknowledge that your proposal to abolish the Eye Hunting Order was based on your own will, and was not changed due to the influence of 'wear and tear'."

After that, she turned her gaze to Li Qiuzhi, took out a weapon that looked like a long-handled scimitar, pointed the tip of the knife at him, and said calmly:
"But I cannot rely on the few words from her 'inner' body to determine that your 'power of time' can reach eternity and can be used as the price of a transaction.

"Unless you provide proof."

"."

Li Qiuzhi looked helpless. Why did he have to fight to solve the problem in the end?
