Chapter 1170 The Seen-Through Shadow and the Little Girl Who Wants to Play with a Bandaged Dog
Lin Qiye's fingers gripped the hilt of the Kusanagi Sword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
Deep in the dense forest, a girl in a light purple dress sat on a crooked branch, her legs dangling in the air, swinging rhythmically.
She was toying with a withered leaf in her hand, her face radiating innocence and naivety.
But those pupils reflected a withered look that didn't belong to someone that age.
"Stop looking, your future is a mess."
The girl jumped down from the branch, landed steadily, and tilted her head to look at Lin Qiye.
"My name is Skadi."
"In Greater Asgard, there is nothing I cannot see,"
"But you... and that wandering soul beside you, whose mind is full of distracting thoughts,"
"Your future is like ink that has been splashed on it, a pitch-black mess."
Wu Hen's eye twitched. This little girl had a sharp tongue; she actually said he was full of distracting thoughts.
He coughed lightly, about to say something polite, but was frozen in place by an extremely cold gaze.
Urd, the goddess who washes clothes, has now walked up to the two of them.
"I have seen countless pasts, and every soul has roots in the river of time."
"But you, Lin Qiye."
Uld stared intently into Lin Qiye's eyes, his tone as cold as ice.
“A piece of your past has been cut off.”
"Before that old town of Great Xia, you were empty."
"who are you?"
"I am Lin Qiye."
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and retorted.
"The Great Xia Night Watchmen, isn't that a resounding name?"
"No, you are not."
"At least, there shouldn't be only you inside your body right now."
Urd snorted coldly, his gaze seeming to pierce through his skin and pluck out the soul hidden within.
The atmosphere froze instantly, and Si Xiaonan didn't even dare to breathe.
Suddenly, as if she had discovered a new and interesting toy, Skuld pounced over and grabbed Lin Qiye's clothes.
"Eh? Wait!"
Skuld leaned close to Lin Qiye's chest, sniffed hard, and then gave a strange smile.
"Big brother, there's an uncle with a dagger hiding inside your body."
"He had a full beard, fierce eyes, and smelled of blood. Let's count... oh dear, he's number 27?"
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Number 27!
That was a taboo hidden deep within the hospital, an existence even a divine artifact like the Holy Grail couldn't detect.
This little girl actually counted out his number at a glance?
Wu Hen was also dumbfounded. He knew Lin Qiye had a trump card, but he didn't expect that this trump card would be no different from being naked in front of the three goddesses.
He gripped the dagger tightly and whispered, "Old Lin, we can't hide it anymore."
Lin Qiye took a deep breath. He knew that trying to play tricks in front of the god who controlled fate was tantamount to courting death.
He closed his eyes, and with a slight thought, a wisp of dark smoke slowly rose along with his shadow.
It coalesced into a blurry outline in the air.
The moment that murderous aura spread, the surrounding vegetation withered by half.
"As expected, it's an old acquaintance."
Urd looked at the wisp of smoke, his eyes showing no surprise, but rather a weary acceptance.
"The tail left behind by that madman, Kronos."
"It may be troublesome, but since fate has brought you together, then go along with it."
"Aren't you going to arrest him?" Lin Qiye was stunned; something was wrong.
"What's done is done. I'm only responsible for recording it, not cleaning up the mess."
Urd turned and looked at the edge of the cliff not far away.
Just then, a golden light suddenly exploded above the cliff.
A woman clad in silver armor stood proudly, leaning on a broadsword with one hand.
His long hair danced wildly in the fierce wind, and the aura emanating from his body caused the surrounding space to distort slightly, as if a god-king had descended to earth.
“Vera Dandy,” Si Xiaonan exclaimed in a low voice. She was the goddess who governed the “present.”
Skadi completely ignored her older sister's entrance performance; she skipped and hopped over to Lin Qiye.
Looking up at her with bright, sparkling eyes, she asked, "Big brother, where's your wooden dog? You mean that silly-looking wooden one? Let me play with it!"
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, looking at Skadi's seemingly innocent eyes, and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Give it to her," Wu Hen said in a low voice.
"If they want to take this territory, we can't protect it."
Lin Qiye nodded and summoned Mumu.
The tiny wooden puppy, no bigger than a palm, shook its head lively as soon as it landed.
Skuld shoved Mumu into her arms, her movements so rough it was as if she were torturing a rag doll.
In that instant, Lin Qiye caught a glimpse of Skadi.
"Hehe, this is so much fun." Skadi hugged Mumu, turned around, and the smile on her face grew wider and wider.
"So this is what a 'turning point' feels like."
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen exchanged a glance, both seeing the unease in each other's eyes.
This isn't about finding outside help; it's like jumping into a pit that was already dug.
