at last.
With Lin Qi's final collision, Jill, who had already lost all reaction, turned into a black mist and disappeared.
"Ugh..."
Lin Qi covered his head without counting how many times he had hit himself. He felt dizzy and his brain seemed to have been shaken evenly in the movement just now.
“Pah-pah-pah-pah!”
The sound of applause reached my ears, along with the Count's voice.
"Tsk tsk, there is no beauty in fighting. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the people fighting in front of me were beasts. As the last Master of mankind, you seem to lack a bit of decency."
"However, you deserve praise for being able to do this with only one arm left!"
"So rejoice, you have defeated your first opponent!"
Listening to the Earl's voice, Lin Qi turned his head and looked behind him.
The fake Joan of Arc who had been screaming behind him had disappeared, as if she had never appeared.
Lin Qi touched his forehead and face again.
He placed his finger in front of his eyes and it was clean.
The forehead that was originally broken by the impact also returned to its original shape, along with the blood that flowed to the tip of the nose.
“Is this really a prison tower?”
Full of doubts, Lin Qi looked at the Earl, the only Riddler here who seemed to know the inside story.
Although his memory has not yet reached the level of photographic memory, he still knows very clearly that Joan of Arc does not exist in the original plot of "Prison Tower".
What's more, Joan of Arc here still looks like a country girl.
"Oh? How do you know this isn't a prison tower?"
The Earl raised his eyebrows and asked back.
Lin Qi was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, he just subconsciously used the plot he already knew as a reference.
"Perhaps because the person who came here changed from Fujimaru Ritsuka to me, the plot inside also changed accordingly?"
Lin Qi made a reasonable guess.
……

Chapter 91 Padoru Padoru!
"My power has only become slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person. It seems that the big-eyed cuteness just now is the same, and it is even weaker than mine..."
"Shit, I just hit him on the head and he was so dizzy... I should have stabbed him in the eyes directly."
"But I only have one hand, and it's not my dominant hand, so whether I can get it in is another matter..."
Lin Qi rubbed his forehead, looking a little dazed.
"And what happened to Jeanne just now? Was that true?"
Lin Qi carefully recalled Joan of Arc's movements and expressions, and tried hard to compare her with the Joan of Arc she knew.
The Earl on the side hugged his chest with an intriguing smile on his face, quietly waiting for Lin Qi to finish thinking.
More than ten seconds passed.
Well, after all, I have only met Joan of Arc for a few days, and I am not even as familiar with her as the marshal.
But Lin Qi can still be sure.
"That's definitely not Joan of Arc!"
Lin Qi said with great certainty.
"No? Then who do you think it is?"
The Count asked with great interest.
"I do not know."
Lin Qi was embarrassed.
He simply felt that the other person was not Joan of Arc, how could he explain it?
The count shook his head when he heard this.
He thought Lin Qi finally figured it out, but in the end, this is it?
Anyway, there is still plenty of time, and the Earl still has the patience to continue playing with Lin Qi.
"So what's next? Are you going to keep going up?"
"Uh, what else?"
Lin Qi was even more puzzled. He felt that the earl he met had a strong Riddler attribute.
I can tell from the earl's few words that there is something different here, but I have no idea what he is trying to say.
"Haha, it's nothing. Now that we've made the decision, let's go."
The Earl chuckled and continued to signal Lin Qi to go first.
Looking at the Earl who stretched out his hand to make way for him, Lin Qi couldn't help but say:
"Aren't you going to help me?"
"Huh? Do you want to think about what you're saying?"
The count looked surprised.
"Why should I help you? And you have to understand one thing, I am Avenger, the ghost of revenge!"
"He is the most famous Avenger in the world, the origin of all Avengers!"
"I've explained it so clearly, you should know how to look at me, right?"
The Earl's face instantly turned into that of a demon, looking at Lin Qi fiercely and coldly.
An ominous black flame burned on his body, as if it could ignite the souls of others as well.
Furthermore, as he moved, sounds like the howling of evil spirits could be heard from the dark corridors on both sides.
"…How should I view it?"
Lin Qi looked confused.
Although he wanted to cooperate with the Earl, he really didn't understand what the Earl was saying.
Are you trying to scare us?
But after experiencing the stunning glimpse of Goetia, Lin Qi has become more or less immune to things whose fright level is lower than that of beasts.
At the end of the fourth singularity, Lin Qi only took a look at Goetia and understood what a true [beast] was.
It was almost a natural enemy of mankind, completely different from what one saw through the screen. With just one glance, the terrifying appearance emerged in Lin Qi's mind.
It was this glance and the carefully planned attack that instantly shattered Lin Qi's hard-earned confidence.
Even now, Lin Qi still shudders when he thinks back on it.
The broken arm still aches.
Back to the present.
Looking at Lin Qi's confused look.
The count was silent, his face still as evil as that of a demon, but he didn't know when he froze.
After a second of silence, he continued to sneer and growled harshly, unwilling to give up:
"Ridiculous! Do you think an Avenger would help you for free?!"
Hearing this, Lin Qi said cautiously:
"No, won't you?"
"Snapped!"
The Earl slapped himself on the face, and seemed to have lost all his strength, and became listless.
But when he looked up and saw Lin Qi's clear eyes, the Earl suddenly became angry again.
Then he grabbed Lin Qi by the collar and yelled:
"In short, I am not worthy of trust! You are not allowed to trust me either! Do you understand!!!"
"But how can I get through the prison tower if you don't help me?"
Looking at the Earl who was so close with fire in his eyes, Lin Qi, who was picked up, turned his head to avoid the flames on his face and asked in a low voice.
The voice was so real that the count suddenly wanted to cry.
I want to cry in every sense of the word.
But maybe the ultimate anger would lead to calmness. The Earl, who failed to cry, let Lin Qi go and his devilish face returned to normal.
"I won't help you, absolutely not. You have to figure it out on your own."
He said this in a cold voice while tidying up his somewhat messy clothes.
Lin Qi wanted to say something but stopped himself, sensing the absoluteness in the earl's tone.
I had no choice but to follow in silence, straighten my tangled collar, and then walk to the next floor.
[Strange prison tower, strange 'Joan of Arc', riddle man and the count who doesn't intend to help...]
Thinking about everything he knew, Lin Qi's eyes became more and more confused.
Lin Qi, who couldn't even find a point of entry, had no choice but to move forward, hoping that future developments would give him the answer.
The count who was following behind Lin Qi took out a small mirror from somewhere.
Facing the mirror, the Count revealed his own grimacing face.
It looks scary...
So why?
The Count was puzzled.
I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.
After Lin Qi took the last step, the pitch-black corridor in front of him suddenly changed.
"The cell? We're back again?"
Looking at this familiar place, Lin Qi rubbed his eyes.
I subconsciously looked at the Count, only to find that he had his back to me, pretending to look at the stars.
Lin Qi's eyes twitched.
"Well, it seems that Fujimaru Ritsuka was like this when he entered the second floor."
After answering the question for himself, Lin Qi walked along the long corridor that seemed to have no end according to his previous memory.
Then--
"Hashire Sori Yo, Kaze No You Ni"
"Yokino Neka Wo, Padoru Padoru."
“Hashire Sori Yo…”
Hearing this devilish singing, Lin Qi's expression turned strange.
I didn’t expect that even in this different world, I could still hear…
As for the owner of the song, is there any need to guess?
Lin Qi quickened his pace and walked deeper into the cave.
At the same time, he summoned his own treasure and took the flagpole in his hand.
