My two-dimensional resident

"That's great. With your strength, you can certainly help her quickly eliminate the mastermind behind it. But even if you go, it's impossible to eliminate the mastermind in a short time. And there are just too many demonic weapons. If they threaten you with the lives of all humanity, I think you might find yourself in a dilemma."

Besides killing ordinary people with force, these demonic weapons primarily carry a terrifying virus. Anyone infected with it will die instantly.

Point Guard Here

So, to alleviate your worries and protect ordinary people from the threat of the demon virus, I plan to send Shinobu Kocho with you. She has exceptional talent in pharmacology and should be able to find a way to control the demon virus.

"Let's go find her together. Every second we delay, more humans in that world will die, and Lenalee's situation will become increasingly dangerous."

With Artoria's addition, the Millennium Duke and the Noah clan could no longer cause any trouble. However, Lin Tian then thought of the mechanism for upgrading demonic weapons, which involved harvesting human souls.

If Lin Tian's reinforcements had arrived any later, even more human souls would have been devoured by the demonic weapons, although these demonic weapons wouldn't have caused much trouble for a powerhouse like Artoria.

But Lin Tian feared that the Millennium Dog might become desperate and send all its demonic weapons to indiscriminately kill humans. That would put Artoria in a difficult position. Her conduct had always been upright. Faced with such a ruthless enemy, Lin Tian was terrified that she would be led by the nose by the Millennium Dog for the sake of humanity.

Therefore, before Artoria kills the Millennium Duke and the Noah clan, she must resolve the threat posed by the demonic weapons to ordinary humans.

Chapter 261 The Trio Who Saved the World

“Okay.” Artoria’s eyes narrowed, and she understood the seriousness of the matter.

"By the way, do you have enough miles to buy a Mileage Travel Pass?" Just as he was about to go find Shinobu Kocho, Lin Tian suddenly remembered that buying a Mileage Travel Pass now would save him about an hour's worth of time.

One hour on the island is equivalent to half a day in the Lenalee world. We should try to save as much time as possible.

"Um... I only have a little over 300 miles on me."

"Never mind then, let's go find Shinobu Kocho instead. She should have enough miles."

Seeing that Artoria didn't have enough mileage, Lin Tian didn't say anything more. After putting Erza's letter into his spatial backpack, he led Artoria out of the service hall.

Outside, he took out his phone, saw that Shinobu, Kanae, Binchotan, and the others were in the fruit garden, and then walked ahead of Artoria toward the fruit garden.

......

"If I go to another world... can I go with them?"

After Lin Tian explained Lin Nali's plea for help to the group of people who were collecting apples, Chelsea, who was standing next to Binchotan, looked curious and asked.

"You?" Lin Tian looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she would have this thought. So he asked, "Your current highest attribute value is only 93, and don't you plan to go back to your own world first?"

"My strength hasn't become strong enough yet, and my Imperial Arms has been destroyed. Going back wouldn't change the course of the war, nor would I be able to save my comrades. So I plan to go back when I'm as strong as you."

I've already learned from Shinobu that as long as I think about the person I want to see on the plane back, I can go back in time to save her, so I'm not in a hurry to go back.

And I've heard that Lenalee is a very kind girl, so I'd like to help her. You won't refuse my request, will you?

Chelsea handed the last lollipop she had to Binchotan, and then told Lin Tian what was on her mind.

"Hmm... alright then. More people means more strength. But be careful. Don't act rashly until Shinobu Kocho develops an antidote for the demon virus."

Chelsea's awareness impressed Lin Tian, ​​while Bardock's ideas made Lin Tian want to complain. Sure enough, this brute was all bones and muscles; he had no brains whatsoever.

“Yes, Island Master Lin Tian.” Chelsea chuckled and walked to Shinobu’s side.

"Lord Lin Tian, ​​are you sure you don't need me to go?" Seeing that Chelsea was able to go to the Lenalee world, Kanae, who was holding Kanao's hand, asked Lin Tian softly.

"You shouldn't go. Actually, Lenalee's world situation seems pessimistic, but she will still win without our intervention. It's just that Lenalee lacks confidence."

Also, Ilya needs to take Kikyo to find Erza. If you leave again, there won't be many people left on the island. I have some new ideas for the island's development and need your help.

Lin Tian shook his head and refused Kanae Butterfly's request.

Regarding the crisis faced by Lenalee, Lin Tian, ​​having already recalled the entire D.Gray-man storyline, knew that the Noah clan could not possibly carry out the "world-destroying plan" now.

The male protagonist, Allen, is a key element for them. Without eliminating Allen or persuading him to join their side, they are unable to carry out the "world-destroying plan."

Most importantly, Marshal Cross Marian, Allen's mentor and a mysterious, god-like figure, will definitely not allow the Noah clan to achieve their plan...

Upon hearing that Kikyo was going to be abducted by Yin Liya, among the few people present who knew about Lin Tian's relationship with Kikyo, only Kanae refrained from laughing due to her respect for Lin Tian. Shinobu Kocho and Chelsea, completely unconcerned about Lin Tian's resentful expression, openly covered their mouths and chuckled.

"...Stop laughing. Go to the service hall and buy some mileage travel vouchers!"

Lin Tian glanced at the two speechlessly, urging them to disappear from his sight quickly.

The two were quite tactful; after a few light laughs, they left the orchard with Artoria, who was still clueless about the relationship between Lin Tian and Kikyo.

Watching the three leave, Lin Tian sighed. Just as he was about to leave the orchard to go home and rest, Binchotan grabbed his hand.

Looking at the increasingly beautiful Binchotan, Lin Tian affectionately patted her head and asked in a doting tone.

"What's wrong, Charcoal?"

"Brother, Sister Ren and Sister Qian have left. We're short-handed to harvest apples. You have to help us."

Binchotan's adorable eyes sparkled with intelligence, and with a mature air, he spoke very seriously to Lin Tian.

Today happens to be the day when apple and cherry trees bear fruit. Binchotan finally managed to find Shinobu and the others to come and pick the fruit together, but before the fruit picking team could even start, Lin Tian called the two of them away.

Realizing that the two adults had left, the task of shaking the tree would fall solely on Kanae's shoulders. Binchotan felt a pang of sympathy for the older sister, and thus the idea of ​​having Lin Tian stay behind to help gather the fruit came to mind.

"Um... okay."

When Lin Tian heard that Binchotan had asked him to stay and gather fruit, he glanced at the three remaining people—one adult and two children. He then looked at the seemingly endless apple and cherry orchards. A pang of shame struck him; he didn't have the nerve to abandon them and leave alone.

More than two hours have passed since I returned. First, I encountered Illya, Shinji Ikari, and Reigen at the shop, then had a friendly chat with Bardock in the plaza. Afterwards, I gave the quest item to Isabelle in the service hall and learned from Bardock that the museum's Boda might be able to collect the Shikon Jewel. From Lenalee's letter, I learned she needed support, and just then I ran into Artoria, who had just returned. The two then went to the orchard to find Shinobu Kocho...

These two short hours were incredibly fulfilling for Lin Tian. However, picking apples with Binchotan provided some relief for his tired body and mind.

Currently, there are only two types of fruit trees in the island's orchard. The first, and most abundant, is the island's initial apple tree, with a total of 1000 trees. The other type is the cherry tree that Shinobu obtained from the balloon. There aren't many cherry trees, only 231.

It took Lin Tian and his three companions more than an hour to harvest all the fruit from these 1231 fruit trees.

Little Sister Binchotan, the "head" of the orchard, wanted to plant another 500 cherry trees, but Lin Tian stopped her. The reason was simple: it was already past eleven o'clock, and it was time to go back for lunch.

"Charcoal, come and plant it this afternoon."

"Okay, brother!"

We picked quite a lot of apples this time, so we could only take some back with us. We'll take the rest back this afternoon when we come to plant the cherry trees.

Chapter 262 Does Lin Tian Want Lin Nali Dead?

Binchotan skillfully climbed onto Lin Tian's back, enjoying the broad, sturdy back while admiring the surrounding scenery.

As Kanao, who was following beside him, watched Lin Tian carry the binchotan on his back, her expression didn't change much, but Kanae, who was holding her little hand, still caught the envious look in her eyes.

When Kanae saw that her younger sister also wanted someone to carry her, she recalled that since she recognized Kanao as her sister, she had never been so intimate with her.

How can you let your own sister envy others when you're both sisters?

Kanae pulled Kanao along, then came in front of her, squatted down, and turned back to smile.

"Come on up..."

......

April, a month warmer than March but cooler than May. But this cannot make one overlook the sun, which brings life back to the earth—it has already begun to show its unbearably scorching power.

Xiao Ke looked up at the blinding sunlight, then turned and went back into the service hall. A short while later, he came out again. A huge tent had been thoughtfully erected above the dining tables to prevent residents from losing their appetite due to the intense sunlight overhead.

Ashido and Badak, in their cages on the west side of the square, silently watched Little K's every move. This seemingly harmless little raccoon was, in their eyes, a hidden master.

Badak clearly remembered that it was with a slight flick of his finger that he rendered the sixth brother, Asido, unable to move and forced him to watch helplessly as he was locked in the cage.

"This is lunch for the two of you. Please enjoy it."

"Thanks..."

When Bardak saw K deliver the lunchbox to him, he changed his usual indifferent demeanor, took the lunchbox with both hands, and expressed his gratitude to K.

He now completely trusts Lin Tian, ​​believing that Lin Tian can make him stronger to save his people. However, he is currently locked in a cage because he made the little girl cry, and he needs to behave well if he wants to get out as soon as possible.

Although Saiyans are often perceived by outsiders as ruthless killing machines and brutes, not all Saiyans share the same brain.

Bardock understood that as long as he got along well with everyone on the island and won the forgiveness of the little girl named Charcoal, he would be able to leave soon.

As for the old man, the ice cube, and the silent one next to him, it's best to keep them locked up forever!

Why haven't you left yet?

"I should at least eat something before I leave. Kikyo-nee has already agreed to go with me to find Erza, so we'll leave after we finish eating. Sigh, some people are destined to be alone tonight."

When Lin Tian arrived at the plaza carrying binchotan charcoal, the other residents still on the island were already seated at the dining table. Kikyo, beaming, introduced Shinji Ikari and Reigen Arataka to Illya.

Lin Tian watched as Yin Liya affectionately clung to Kikyo's arm, thinking to himself that this girl must have convinced Kikyo. He then approached Yin Liya and said unhappily.

He wasn't specifically targeting Yin Liya; he just didn't know why they always ended up arguing with each other whenever they were together.

Upon hearing Lin Tian's voice, Yin Liya adopted a victorious demeanor, refusing to even glance at him. She picked up the juice on the table and swirled it gently, as if it were a glass of red wine.

She had just learned from her conversation with Kikyo that the two had become a couple. She immediately understood why Lin Tian hadn't let her see Kikyo. Although she didn't look at Lin Tian's expression, she was certain he was extremely upset and sad.

Haha, why am I suddenly so happy?!

"Where are Kanae-neechan, Shinobu-neechan, and Chelsea?"

Seeing the two of them immediately start arguing and teasing each other upon meeting, Kikyo shook her head helplessly. She glanced around at everyone already seated at the table and, noticing that Shinobu and Chelsea were not there, asked Kanae.

After all, Kanae is Shinobu's older sister, and they've been staying on the island, so she likely knows most of their whereabouts. As for why she didn't ask about Hyuga Neji's whereabouts, it's because when Yinliya approached her, during their casual conversation, Yinliya had already told her that Hyuga Neji had returned.

“Linali is in some trouble. They say the enemy in her world is about to destroy all of humanity. So I sent Artoria with Shinobu and Chelsea to help her.”

When Kikyo asked Kanae about the whereabouts of the two people, Lin Tian placed the binchotan charcoal he was carrying on the chair next to him, thus answering Kikyo's question for Kanae.

"What? Lina Li is in trouble! Why aren't you going to help her?"

“Yes, Lin Tian…Lin Nali is our partner after all. She’s in trouble, you should help her.”

Hearing that Lin Nali was in trouble and needed help, Yin Liya, Lin Nali's neighbor, was shocked. She stopped arrogantly waving her juice in front of Lin Tian and questioned him nervously.

Kikyo, standing beside her, echoed her with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand why Lin Tian was so calm. This was the complete opposite of his previous behavior.

As the two asked their questions, everyone present looked at Lin Tian with confusion and doubt. This Lin Tian was not the Lin Tian they knew.

When Lenalee was in a hurry to go back, he was afraid she would encounter danger there, so he insisted on keeping her there. But now, faced with Lenalee's plea for help, he was so calm and composed, only asking three residents to go and assist her.

This is completely unlike him!

"Hey, hey, don't look at me like that. To be honest, I did have something to do and didn't plan to go and help her in person. But you can't take that as me not caring about her."

"That's not it!"

"Yin Liya, don't interrupt me. You'll understand once I finish explaining."
