Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 2474 - 1116: Please Let Me Do This, Sister! (Part 2)

"Rather than waiting to die, I have to give it a try!"

Lin Baici wasn’t the type to sit and wait for death.

"The hope of escaping is too slim!" The Dancing Girl spun around and fell into Lin Baici’s arms: "But I’ll help you!"

Softly murmuring, the Dancing Girl took off the Nuo Mask from her face and personally placed it on Lin Baici’s face.

Lin Baici felt no resistance, because he knew the other person was trying to help him.

But what Lin Baici needed wasn’t this.

"No matter what happens, even if you die, don’t take it off!"

The Dancing Girl solemnly warned.

Suddenly Lin Baici felt like the warning was similar to Jiang Ziya telling Bi Gan, whose heart was dug out by King Zhou, never to look back.

Look back and you will die.

Lin Baici glanced at the others.

"Don’t look; my mask is different from theirs. If your companions put it on, they’ll turn into bronze statues even faster!"

The Dancing Girl whispered: "When I find the chance, I’ll signal you. You pretend to hold me hostage, and we’ll escape the Royal Palace together."

"The others..."

Lin Baici furrowed his brow; her words clearly meant only he would be saved.

"I’m sorry!"

The Dancing Girl apologized: "I’m powerless!"

"I don’t blame you!"

Lin Baici appreciated the risk she was willing to take to save him, a rare and valuable act: "Sister, they’re all my companions; I can’t leave them behind!"

"Also, when I said earlier that waiting to die isn’t an option and that I must try, it wasn’t about escaping..."

This Dancing Girl was an astute sister, and before Lin Baici finished speaking, she had already guessed his intentions.

"You... you want to kill..."

Years of palace life had instilled notions of hierarchy in the Dancing Girl, making her unable to utter the word ’king’, as it would be outright rebellion.

"Sister, just tell me where the great king has gone!"

Lin Baici didn’t ask the palace maid sister to lead him.

"You can’t kill the great king!"

The Dancing Girl became anxious: "Even if all of you come together, it’s impossible!"

"God Lin, my... my leg!"

A desperate Security Bureau staff member called out to Lin Baici for help.

"My hand is numb!"

"My eyeballs can’t move!"

"God Lin, save me!"

Desperate cries filled the air from everyone.

Lin Baici turned his head, glancing at Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin.

The Little Merperson’s left leg was stiff, clearly bronzed, while Kim Myungjin’s right hand couldn’t move.

Xia Hongyao and San Miyairi were in slightly better shape.

"How will you know without trying?"

Lin Baici saw no other option: "Sister, please tell me?"

"You will die!"

The Dancing Girl pursed her lips: "Follow me, and there might be a slim chance; seeking the great king guarantees death!"

"It’s worth trying!"

Lin Baici gave a bitter smile: "If I leave them behind and escape alone, even if I make it out alive, I’ll live in misery forever!"

The Dancing Girl fell silent, looking at Lin Baici.

"God Lin? God Lin?"

Chestnut Medal shouted.

He hadn’t heard what Lin Baici and the Dancing Girl were discussing because the palace maid sister used a Taboo Thing to ensure their conversation wouldn’t leak.

Seeing Lin Baici remaining silent with the Dancing Girl’s mask still on his face, Chestnut Medal thought perhaps the mask was the key to purification, so he suddenly reached out and snatched the mask from the Dancing Girl in front of him.

"Let me wear it, too!"

Chestnut Medal put on the Nuo Mask, and everything went black in front of his eyes, causing his head to spin with dizziness.

Despite this, he held on, warily watching the Dancing Girl in front of him, fearing she might get angry and take the mask back.

But the creature did no such thing; instead, her slender hand covered her mouth as she gazed at him with a chuckle.

The laughter was filled with mockery and ridicule.

"What’s happening?"

Chestnut Medal felt chills down his spine.

Could there be something wrong with this mask?

It shouldn’t be, should it?

Lin Baici wore it.

Lin Baici was a smart person; if there was an issue with this mask, he absolutely wouldn’t wear it.

This was how Chestnut Medal thought, and others thought the same.

Lin Baici’s consistent stunning performance made everyone look up to him as a model; God Lin’s actions were a sure guide.

So as Chestnut Medal snatched the mask from the Dancing Girl in front of him, others began to do the same.

These amateur fishmen knew they lacked strength and prepared for a fight to the death, only to see the creature showing a mocking expression instead of attacking.

What does this mean?

There won’t be a big pit, right?

The choir had a timid girl who tried to take off the Nuo mask, but found it wouldn’t come off.

This thing felt like it had grown onto her face, the more she pulled, the more it hurt.

"Once you put on this mask, you can’t take it off!"

"Damn, why does it feel even worse after putting on the mask?"

"Chestnut Medal, why didn’t you tell us earlier?"

Everyone cursed, growing fearful, because if they kept trying, they’d peel their skin off.

Soon, they discovered that after putting on the mask, the bronze stains on their bodies spread even faster.

"God Lin, what should we do now?"

"It’s over!"

"Damn it, let’s take these monsters on!"

A man couldn’t bear the pressure any longer, his mind breaking down as he attacked the dancing girl in front of him.

The dancing girl flipped her small hands, spun around to his back, then wrapped her water sleeves around his neck, dragging him away like a dog.

Another dancing girl rushed over, stabbing at him with a dagger.

Slash! Slash!

Crimson blood spurted out, turning into chunks of greenish copper rust seconds after hitting the floor.

"Do you know? Once they leave this hall, they immediately turn into bronze terracotta warriors!"

The dancing girl informed.

This reality meant Lin Baici could only fight solo.

"I guessed that!"

Lin Baici smiled freely: "Going it alone, personally assassinating the king, I think it’s even more impressive!"

"I’ll ask you one last time!"

The dancing girl looked into Lin Baici’s eyes: "You don’t regret it?"

Lin Baici took a deep breath: "Please, sister, fulfill this wish!"

"Alright!"

The dancing girl agreed with Lin Baici: "Take me hostage, I’ll lead you there!"

"Won’t that be dangerous for you?"

Lin Baici worried.

The dancing girl’s chest warmed at his words, a small smile appearing.

Luckily!

He wasn’t a heartless person, so her help wasn’t in vain!

"Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself!"

Although the dancing girl said this, there was no real way to protect herself.

If they escaped God’s ruins with Lin Baici, they might live, but if Lin Baici went to assassinate the king, both were doomed.

The palace maid was initially rewarded to Lin Baici by the great king, but Lin Baici disappeared.

The palace maid couldn’t find him.

At that time, it was Lin Baici’s first battle, and he hadn’t yet joined the Security Bureau, so the employees didn’t know him, even if they wanted to discuss him, there was little useful information.

But Qin Palace was different.

The style of rule pollution in Palm Harbor naturally reminded everyone of Qin Palace, leading the palace maid to seize the chance, steal some intel, and rush to Qinling, entering the Qin Palace Divine Ruins.

As a sapient species born in God’s ruins, the divine king naturally treated her like a clansman, letting her stay.

Yet such a life was dull, painful, she had grown tired of serving the exalted king, tired of the beatings, desiring to see the Human Kingdom...

During those boring and oppressive days, the palace maid unexpectedly saw her ’master’ again.

Indeed,

The previous great king was that palace maid’s master, and when he rewarded her to Lin Baici, it meant the palace maid became Lin Baici’s personal property.

By feudal dynasty law and morality, the palace maid should give everything for Lin Baici, which was seen as a praiseworthy virtue.

For various reasons, the palace maid chose to assist Lin Baici.

"No matter what happens, don’t give up, wait for me to return!"

Lin Baici looked at the palace maid sister: "As long as we can get out alive, I promise you’ll have safety and live a blessed life outside!"

"Hehe!"

The dancing girl chuckled: "Alright, take me hostage now!"

"Leave through the drape on the right side, turn left out the door, and just charge ahead!"

"Red Medicine, Qingqiu, hang in there."

Lin Baici grabbed the palace maid sister’s neck.

The Golden Armor Guards saw this, immediately furious, brandishing their long halberds and rushing over.

"Damn, God Lin, what are you doing?"

"What can I do? Kill them all!"

"Even if we die, drag a few down with us!"

Upon seeing Lin Baici move, everyone else sprang into action as well.

"Don’t follow me!"

Lin Baici roared, glaring fiercely at Gu Qingqiu.

There wasn’t time to say much, but he believed Gu Qingqiu understood!

"Take care of Small Fish and the others!"

After saying this, Lin Baici dragged the palace maid sister behind the drape.
