"Oh my god, man, what did you do?"
Star-Lord ran up from behind and stood on the edge of the cliff and watched for half a minute. After confirming that the Red Skull had really fallen down, he was completely stunned.
Although the movements of these two people just now were fast, everyone except the 'victim' Red Skull could see it clearly.
Especially Star-Lord, who was quite close, he saw it clearly. The smooth coordination between Sora and Star was definitely premeditated.
"You....why did you kick him down?"
Rocket pointed at Star-Lord, who had an expression of disbelief on his face, and laughed: "Apparently, they treated that dark gentleman to a roller coaster ride, ahahahaha."
"Rocket, can you please stop gloating and come on! Considering the situation, we still need Red Skull to find the Soul Stone. Now, everyone is smashed to pieces."
Star-Lord felt frustrated by Rocket's inappropriate sense of humor, especially when he saw that the two people who caused such a scene did not show much remorse.
"Wait a moment, just a moment."
Lin Ze closed his eyes and frowned. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
“Nothing has changed.”
Lucy looked up at the sky with an expression that said, "As expected." She shrugged and said to Lin Ze, who had been trying again and again, "I guessed it would be like this."
Glancing at Star-Lord beside her, Lucy smiled at him. When he was in a trance, she pulled Lin Ze over and asked in a low voice, "Are you working hard? Brother!"
"Love! Love! We need the power of ??, understand?"
He immediately rolled his eyes at Lucy, and Lin Ze said with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Am I not working hard enough???"
"From just now till now, in my mind, I have already had 18 babies with the Red Skull!!"
It seems that the bug of sacrificing NPC does not exist at all. Lin Ze sighed. He still wanted to take a shortcut.
"Eighteen in one birth, poof! You are really good."
Lucy covered her mouth and trembled like a seaweed fairy: "Fortunately it didn't work, otherwise I would have to bear the punishment."
That's true. This attempt was risky. If Lucy's "hammer" really changed anything, they would have to wait until next year to check it out.
It seems that we have to proceed according to the plan. Lin Ze blinked, unable to explain the feeling in his heart at this moment.
The hope of luck was shattered, and feeling lost and uneasy, Lin Ze looked at the clouds under his feet, feeling hesitant.
Isn't it ready a long time ago?
Why am I still so scared at the end?
[When facing death, I still feel fear. 】
These familiar words reminded Lin Ze of someone. He suddenly smiled: Be afraid, no matter it is human or god, they will be afraid of death, but...it is still uncertain who will win or lose.
"Ahem, everyone, please be patient."
Turning around to face his friends and Star-Lord and his companions, Lin Ze winked at Lucy and began to lie with his eyes open.
"We have already discussed it. Red Skull told me that the Soul Stone is indeed down there. However, he still needs to make some preparations in advance."
"Prepare?"
Paimon, who flew over as soon as Star-Lord came to question the Traveler, heard Lin Ze's explanation and asked quickly, "So that's how it is. The Red Skull went down to make preparations. Oh, Traveler, you should have told us earlier. You scared us."
The simple-minded Paimon absolutely believes in the Traveler without any twists and turns. As long as Lin Ze explains, she will forget all the questions in her head even if they are a little strange.
"Of course it's not that simple."
Lin Ze became serious. The others were not as easy to appease as Paimon. Even though his friends in Teyvat had unconditional trust in him, there was no way he could convince Star-Lord and the others with such a low-quality and crude excuse after seeing the strange behavior he had just done with Lucy.
"Yes."
Lucy came to "assist": "It's such a high cliff, and Red Skull actually said that we must jump off it. This prerequisite for obtaining the Soul Stone is a conspiracy no matter how you think about it."
Star-Lord came to his senses and thought that if that was the case, then it was possible that Red Skull had set a trap for them.
"It's right to be vigilant."
Gamora's puzzled expression faded a little, and she looked at Lin Ze and Lucy with less suspicion: "We only met the Red Skull here, and we have no way to verify his identity as a guide. Whether what he said from the beginning to the end is true or false..."
Seeing that he had successfully aroused several people's suspicion of the Red Skull, Lin Ze continued to deceive them: "Yes, and when the Red Skull first appeared, he was floating in the air. If there really is a trap below, if we jump down rashly, he can escape unscathed, but we will be passive."
"Oh!!"
Paimon clapped his hands and said, "That's why you, Traveler, let Xing knock Red Skull unconscious first and then kick him down. How smart."
Drax, who had been listening for a long time, also started clapping: "I think so too."
"Why didn't I think of this? Is this the legendary human wisdom?" Mantis muttered to herself while clapping her hands in front of the atmosphere group.
"Kong boy, you did a good job. This is called striking first to gain the upper hand. Quill, you should learn from this."
Rocket's words made Star-Lord doubt himself: Was he really worrying too much?
Nebula turned her head and looked at Gamora. She didn't think that her 'sister' really believed the 'nonsense' of these people.
Receiving Nebula's gaze, Gamora shook his head at her imperceptibly.
Of course she didn't believe what the boy said, but that didn't stop her from going downhill. No matter what the reason was for Sora to do this, it wouldn't stop Gamora from believing his purpose, which was ultimately to get the Soul Stone.
Lin Ze, who received everyone's praise, wiped his sweat secretly. Although it was a bit far-fetched, at least he managed to fool everyone.
"No, so what should we do now? Did Red Skull tell you?"
Star-Lord didn't intend to delve into it any further. He wasn't the kind of person who would dwell on a rut, so he put aside his doubts and began to think about what he should do next.
"Of course."
Lin Ze cleared his throat and started running around the area on the top of the mountain with the others in a serious manner.
"There is actually a mechanism on the top of the mountain. Someone needs to stand in a designated area and cooperate with the people at the bottom of the mountain to unlock the mechanism and get the gem."
Paimon suddenly realized, and she was relieved: "Oh! Oh! So it's about solving puzzles, that's your specialty, Traveler."
Lin Ze touched the little guy's head, and there was a slight ripple in his voice while explaining. He gave the little guy a firm smile, and he patted his chest to assure him that solving puzzles was a piece of cake for the little puzzle master.
"No, just wait and see."
He arranged fixed "trap points" for his friends and Star-Lord, not even leaving Paimon behind. Before leaving, Lin Ze worriedly reminded them:
"Okay, you guys stay here and don't move. Next, wait for me to go down the mountain and trigger the mechanism."
After saying that, Lin Ze called Lucy to the edge of the cliff.
"Hey!! Wait, Traveler!"
Paimon's voice came from behind. She stopped in front of Lin Ze, panting, and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
The little girl clenched her hands tightly, and her face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness besides shame.
"I know I shouldn't hold everyone back at this time..."
Paimon swallowed his saliva:
"Let me go with you, traveler. I'm still a little worried if you go down alone."
"I don't know why, but I always feel panicky, as if something bad is going to happen."
The little girl nervously let go of the clothes in her hand and grabbed Lin Ze's arm instead, as if doing so could increase her inner support.
"Although I know I can't help you or anything, but...but..."
Paimeng racked his brains to think of a reason to convince Lin Ze to take her with him, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Lin Ze knew what she was worried about. Looking at Paimeng, Lin Ze suddenly felt that the mental preparation he had just made was shattered again, and he lost the courage to continue:
"Oh, it's okay...really...I-I'll be back soon."
Although he said this, Lin Ze's eyes still blinked rapidly and uncontrollably.
Seeing that Lin Ze was about to be exposed, Lucy quickly poked him.
Fortunately, there was someone next to him who reminded him, which allowed Lin Ze to suppress the surging emotions.
Paimon's request to stay was drowned in a warm hug.
"Who said Paimon can't help me? Paimon has always helped me a lot."
Lin Ze quietly wiped away a tear before the little guy noticed.
"You have to believe in my strength. I still owe Paimon a bowl of curry."
"Besides, don't worry, Xing is watching here. If the Red Skull flies up from below to attack, there will always be someone to give him a stick."
"Well, when you go back, Paimon close your eyes and count down to 100. When you finish counting, I will be back with the Soul Stone."
Lin Ze loosened his arms around the little guy, twisted the little guy's body and pushed him forward before Paimon could see his expression.
"Well...well, travelers, please be safe."
Paimon concealed her disappointment and flew for a distance. When she turned her head again, she only saw the arc of the golden hair ends disappearing.
...
...
"One hundred, ninety-nine, ninety-eight, ninety-seven..."
Paimeng covered her eyelids and counted numbers quietly. At first, she counted a little slowly, but gradually, she unconsciously speeded up.
"Eighty-five, eighty-four, eighty-three!"
There was no change around her except the sound of the wind. The invisible pressure made Paimeng almost breathless. She immediately took away her hands that were covering her eyes and looked towards the path of the cliff.
"Hey, cowherd! Have you seen the traveler return?"
Arotaki Ichito, who was standing not far away, shuddered: "No! It can't be that fast, it's only been a short time...Ah, A-che!!"
"Hey... slurp, the traveler has to speed up, my snot is about to turn into a whole fontanel."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Paimon stomped his feet, frowned, and continued counting.
"Eighty-two, eighty-one, eighty..."
Boom! !
Bright white light rose from around the mountain, and the light spots rushed straight into the sky and gathered in the sky. The moment something broke through, a dazzling light made everyone close their eyes.
When he was able to open his eyes, he felt some liquid on his skin and he wiped it off.
"Huh? It's raining? Hey, Dwarf Viola, you..."
Yidou, who had taken off one of his shoes and was about to throw it to Paimon to keep the rain off, suddenly changed color. He raised his head and saw the figures of others rushing over at a rapid speed. Everyone had the same expression on their faces.
"Dwarf Pansy?! Little Paimon! Paimon!!"
Yidou, who didn't find Paimon, threw away the shoes in his hand and ran towards the cliff like everyone else.
...
Paimon's small body rose and fell on the water, her tightly closed eyes kept trembling, and a small "stone" was wrapped in her clenched little hands.
"Traveler! Traveler! Paimon is here, where are you going?!"
Paimon, who was in a coma, began to struggle. The figure in her mind became blurred, and the waves splashing in the water brought back the last words left by that person.
What he said is——
【world】
【Rejected me...】
“Traveler——!!!!”
Paimon's scream with a crying tone made the hearts of those who were about to reach the bottom of the cliff sink.
