Although the tone was flat, the underlying meaning was elusive.
Lin Yu knew perfectly well who the girl the other person was talking about was, but he still pretended to be clueless and asked, "Oh? What girl?"
Because he knew that the key figure who could awaken the White King was none other than Uesugi Erii, who possessed an extremely powerful bloodline.
However, at this moment, he cannot easily reveal that he already knows the truth about this matter.
"The key to the White King's awakening"
The little devil said
"What benefits will I get?" Lin Yu asked.
"How about I give you an unrestricted pass to Genji Heavy Industries? That way you can directly complete missions at headquarters. There seems to be something extraordinary on the ground floor of this building," the little devil said enticingly.
"That's not enough, the girls are mine too."
Lin Yu said directly
"Okay!" the little devil readily agreed.
"So refreshing?"
Lin Yu, on the contrary, was somewhat skeptical.
"As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Japanese branch, it's fine."
The little devil said indifferently
"make a deal!"
Lin Yu said with a smile, "It really came to me without any effort."
Just as I was dozing off, the little devil came to deliver a pillow.
"Happy cooperation!"
A beam of light shot from the little demon's hand towards Lin Yu, who instinctively raised his hand to catch it.
Only then did I realize that it was an access card.
Looking up, the little devil had already disappeared.
If Lin Yu hadn't remembered his purpose, he would have loved to burst out laughing.
After all the back and forth, I ended up being the biggest winner.
Does he also have the protagonist's halo?
Genji Heavy Industries has more than fifty floors in total. Lin Yu activated "Word of Power: Serpent" to sense each floor he reached.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off; he finally found a security door… a large, unmarked, silver-white door.
Lin Yu brought the card the little devil had given him closer to the card reader.
"Verification successful. Access to Level ξ granted. Welcome back, Executive Bureau Specialist."
With a mechanical female voice, the silver gate swung open with a loud crash.
A long corridor with a few scattered medicine shelves along the sides.
The path ahead became increasingly complex. Lin Yu entered the core area of this level, passing through several security doors along the way.
The further you go, the wider the corridor becomes, with the final passageway being seven or eight meters wide and reinforced with stainless steel walls.
Reaching the end of the passage, Lin Yu saw a white metal door, the kind with rounded corners and an airtight design. Bright white light shone through the glass windows in the door.
Lin Yu excitedly inserted the access card into the slot next to the vault door, watching the light above the door change from red to green.
The twelve safety bolts clicked simultaneously, and the 20-centimeter-thick hard alloy door slowly opened.
Surprisingly, a refreshing sandalwood scent wafted towards me, and the room's style seemed completely out of place in this modern building.
In the old-fashioned house, every wooden plank bears the marks of time, and the wooden floor is as bright as a mirror and spotless from years of cleaning.
The plain white walls were sparsely decorated, with only three statues hanging on them: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo.
The house has minimal furniture: a kotatsu table in the center, wardrobes on either side, and a tatami mat against the wall.
Has Erii always lived here?
Lin Yu felt a pang of sadness. Although he had read the original novel, reality felt even more real, and Lin Yu felt sorry for the girl.
Erii deserves better.
Chapter 23 Taking the Little Monster Away
at this time,
The girl emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, drying her hair and brushing her teeth, her mouth covered in toothpaste foam, suggesting she habitually showers before bed.
Looking at the open metal door, a hint of doubt appeared in the girl's indifferent eyes, followed by a flash of happiness.
The brushing motions were noticeably faster, but the process remained meticulous.
After rinsing her mouth, the girl threw away the toothbrush and placed her hands on the bath towel.
"Wait a minute, Erii!"
Lin Yu, who had been standing at the door with "Netherworld Illumination" activated, twitched upon seeing this. He released his incantation and spoke to stop him.
Erii stared at him coldly, not understanding why Lin Yu was there.
"Lin Yu, Lin Yu と神します" (My name is Lin Yu)
Lin Yu pointed to himself and introduced himself.
Erii scanned Lin Yu's entire body from head to toe, scrutinizing every inch. Her icy gaze was like that of an ancient executioner meticulously slicing apart the body of a condemned prisoner with a small knife.
Then her eyes suddenly became lively.
The girl named Erii said she reached out to untie the bath towel.
"Don't just take your clothes off like that!" Lin Yu quickly turned his head away, his back to her.
Lin Yu only turned back after the "Word of Power: Kamaitachi" conveyed a different message.
Erii had already changed her clothes and was wearing a red and white shrine maiden outfit.
She rarely left the room, and no one ever taught her not to undress in front of men. The person she spent the most time with, Genjiro, was merely someone who played games with her.
Therefore, she is completely unguarded around men. In her eyes, Lin Yu is probably the same kind of creature as her—a flat-chested creature like herself.
Erii's pure and flawless appearance was like the whitest sheet of paper in the world, without a speck of dust on it.
At that moment, Erii opened the closet, took out a cardboard box, and placed it in Lin Yu's hands as he turned around.
The box was filled with all sorts of dolls: plastic Ultraman and monsters, plush Rilakkuma, and Hello Kitty. Each toy had a small label; some said "Erii's Ultraman," others "Erii's Rilakkuma." It seemed she, like any ordinary girl, had a strong possessive streak, having written her name on each toy.
She then returned to the bathroom, and when she came out, she was holding a yellow duck that she had used for bathing.
Lin Yu stood quietly to the side, silently observing her every move.
He easily discerned Erii's inner thoughts from her expression and actions—this lovely girl's longing and yearning for the outside world were undisguisedly displayed on her delicate face.
"Let's go," Erii carefully wrote the two words in her notebook with her pen, then held the notebook high so Lin Yu could clearly see the contents: "Let's go out and play while my brother's not around."
Sure enough, this innocent girl actually wanted to sneak out of the house to play.
This coincided perfectly with Lin Yu's original plan to take her away from here.
"Okay!" Lin Yu replied softly, his voice filled with endless tenderness and doting. "I'll take you out."
Having said that, he stretched out his broad, calloused hand and firmly grasped Erii's slender, delicate hand.
In an instant, Erii's eyes became even more lively.
The next moment, their figures vanished from the spot like ghosts.
The Word of Power: Dark Illumination was cast once more, plunging everything around into darkness once more.
"Don't stray more than a meter from me, or your brother will realize we're gone," Lin Yu turned around and solemnly instructed Erii.
Erii nodded vigorously to show that she understood.
Her large, clear eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation as she followed closely behind Lin Yu, not daring to stray even for a moment.
The two left quickly, one after the other.
Just as Erii was about to leave Genji Heavy Industries on the first floor, she suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
Lin Yu looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked...
Erii pointed to the orange-flavored drink in the vending machine against the wall, looking at him with longing in her eyes.
This made Lin Yu unable to refuse.
"Okay, let's go buy drinks," Lin Yu said softly, leading Erii to the vending machine.
Only then did Lin Yu realize that he didn't seem to have brought any cash.
Seeing Erii looking at him expectantly, Lin Yu didn't want to disappoint the girl.
"I've got it!" Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he then activated "Word of Power: Serpent".
The "snake" slithered through the metal inside the vending machine, sending a "purchase successful" signal to the switch.
A can of beverage rolled down, and Lin Yu handed the orange-flavored drink to Erii.
If Manstein and Ye Sheng, who also possess the "Word of Power: Serpent," knew that Lin Yu used Word of Power to drink BaWang beverage, I wonder what they would think.
Chapter 24 The Contract with Erii
After leaving the magnificent Genji Heavy Industries,
Erii is like a little bird that has just been released from its cage, full of curiosity and a desire to explore the world around her.
Her large, clear eyes scanned the bustling street, as if trying to take in every single detail.
In her eyes, this unfamiliar world was full of new and interesting things.
The flashing neon lights emitted a mesmerizing glow, illuminating the entire night; from the entrances of the bars that remained open into the night, cheerful laughter and energetic music could be heard from time to time.
