Chapter 553

"Um."

After putting Svarog down from the energy cross, Lin Yu smiled and said to Svarog.

"Brother, you look kind. I believe this kind-looking Svarog won't cheat us."

"Um, Lin Yu."

Looking at this obviously suspicious man, March 7th whispered to Lin Yu.

"We had absolutely no idea where this guy was before you found him."

"He seems to have some skills, and he's hiding in the snow—can we really trust this guy?"

"Hey little sister, you can't just make baseless accusations!"

Listening to March 7th's doubts, and realizing that Lin Yu seemed to only be trying to scare Svarog, he patted his chest in a very 'bold' manner in front of everyone.

"Judging from what this guy said, you guys are from out of town, right?"

"Hey, once you get to the city, you can ask around and find out how famous I, Old Svarog, am."

"I'm an old acquaintance of Gepard, the frontline commander of the Silvermane Guards!"

Ah, that's true.

However, your reputation in the Upper District is mostly negative. A great reputation and a notorious reputation are both great, but there's a huge difference between them.

And it's an old acquaintance... no doubt about it.

This Masked Fool in Jarilo, has caused countless little problems for the sake of "pleasure," some of which have even alarmed the Silvermane Guards's upper echelons, including Gepard. In this sense, he can indeed be considered an old acquaintance of the Silvermane Guards.

It can only be said that Seclusion of Intent the Honkai "Masked Fool" who have embarked on and have been striving to practice "pleasure," none of them are easy to deal with.

Even Svarog, who was praised by Sparkle as "surprisingly still having a bottom line," is like that.

If Lin Yu hadn't been strong enough and hadn't known the plot beforehand, he felt that on Jarilo VI, he would probably have fallen into this guy's trap and been completely fooled by him.

But now, seeing Svarog clearly feigning weakness, Lin Yu, knowing his intentions, had already planted a portion of his power within Svarog the moment he was exposed.

If Svarog doesn't cause trouble, everything will be fine. But if he intends to do something that harms the people around Lin Yu, then Lin Yu will have no choice but to be ruthless towards him.

Of course, this was not the main point of what Lin Yu had been thinking about.

In fact, after Lin Yu arrived at Jarilo VI, he began to think about what he should do.

He did express his opinion on the Herta Space Station that he did not want to use his power recklessly to harm others during the expedition.

But now, after arriving on this Ice Star, he has discovered...

Sigh, it's been ten years, and I'm still so easily swayed by emotions.

From the moment I set foot on this planet and opened my eyes, I discovered that the warriors of the Silvermane Guards were still on guard against the Void creatures near Belobog.

It's their duty, that's true, but now that I'm here, it's a bit inappropriate to expect them to continue risking their lives to fill the gaps on the front lines.

And Cocolia...?

Tch, slapping her to death would solve most of the problems, but if we don't let this girl expose her problems, then the people in Belobog will just think that 'the Supreme Guardian Cocolia Rand died fighting against the enemy.'

Let's give her a chance.

After arriving in Belobog today, I will restrain my power.

At night, using the Imaginary Energy from the Hunting Path to create clones, it should be quite easy to clear out the Void creatures approaching Belobog overnight.

And then there's Cocolia... well, considering she's a little bit better than the other Cocolia, let's give her a chance.

If she's willing to cooperate seriously with us after I clear out the Void creatures, then there's still room for negotiation.

But if she still chooses to remain obstinate after this... then I'll have no choice but to make her lose and then just kick the bucket.

I hope not to cause unnecessary bloodshed, but... even if she is the [Supreme Guardian] Cocolia, she is still Cocolia.

Even though we haven't met yet, I'm almost certain of one thing.

In terms of being 'disappointing,' no matter which Cocolia is...

—Perhaps none of them will disappoint me.

"Hey, buddy?"

As the second strongest person present, Svarog asked Lin Yu with a smile after sensing the sudden surge of killing intent emanating from him.

"If you want to go to the city, shall we set off now?"

"Oh, that's great, but I think..."

"Brother Svarog, perhaps we no longer need you as our guide."

After glancing at the Silvermane Guards troops that appeared ahead, Lin Yu spoke calmly to Svarog.

"Look, your old friends have arrived."

"Now, as an old acquaintance of the Silvermane Guards, you should greet them first."

Trailblaze Chapter 10. The Script, the script is about to fly away!

In fact, Svarog, who had been hiding his strength, already knew that Gepard would be taking this route with the Silvermane Guards.

In his pre-planned script, he should now find an opportunity to slip away, allowing Lin Yu and the other outsiders to make contact with the locals of Belobog, so that the subsequent events can continue.

But now, the situation is not good.

From the moment Lin Yu easily pulled him out, he knew that this person was definitely not right.

Svarog had initially planned to expose himself, but the difference between intentionally exposing himself and being directly exposed is huge.

Being pulled out of the snow remotely means that the latter's strength far exceeded Svarog's expectations, and it also means that Svarog has lost the initiative.

Now, Svarog, who was already looking for an opportunity to slip away, suddenly found himself seemingly locked onto by that man.

He's unlikely to be completely immobilized, but if he does anything rash...

Being hung on the cross just now must have felt terrible.

Before he took action, he did try to find out some general information about the special group on the Stellaron Hunters through the internal information channels of the Masked Fool.

Navigator Himeko, passengers March 7th and Dan Heng, Train Conductor Pom-Pom —this should be the combination for the Stellaron Hunters.

According to the information he obtained, there was no such ruthless person among the members of the Stellaron Hunters.

Svarog, seeing Gepard approaching with an unfriendly expression, began to feel a headache coming on.

He doesn't mind playing the clown, but the problem is that this time the "protagonist" has exceeded his expectations in terms of strength.

Svarog, as Pathstrider of joy, believes that "the more joy reflects human dignity, the more advanced it is."

He hoped that after the outsider discovered the truth, he would lead the locals of Belobog to reveal it, and finally allow the locals of Belobog to achieve their freedom, thus saving the planet from being ravaged by the star core.

Of course, Svarog isn't without a backup plan if things go wrong.

But now, the good news is that he doesn't need to use any backup plans.

The bad news is—if this person goes too far, what's the point of even looking at "human dignity"?

But now, with his mind racing, Svarog had to admit that he had really messed up this time.

"Yes, it's you..."

The moment Gepard saw Svarog, his eyes sharpened.

"Form ranks!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Upon seeing this group of armored soldiers, who, without saying a word, surrounded Svarog as well, March 7th immediately pointed at Svarog and said without hesitation.

"We're not with him—no, how come this kind of misunderstanding has happened again right after we landed!"

"Hey, don't do that."

Seeing that March 7th had chosen to cut ties with him without hesitation, Svarog, who was still frantically thinking about how to change the subsequent plan, pounced on March 7th.

Just before he could grab March 7th's thigh, Lin Yu kicked him and sent him flying to Gepard's feet.

"..."

Gepard was a little puzzled as he watched Svarog in pain after being kicked away.

Actually, he felt that this might be a ruse.

But judging from Svarog's recent gasps and convulsions on the ground, that black-clad man's kick... was pretty brutal.

Strangely enough, Gepard was indeed an old acquaintance of Svarog in some ways.

It was only because Svarog was always causing trouble that Gepard was responsible for capturing Svarog when he wasn't on the front lines.

As for the results... just look at Svarog at his feet.

If the results were truly good enough, this stranger wouldn't have had the chance to kick Svarog.

Lin Yu glanced at Svarog, whom he had just kicked away, and couldn't help but sigh...

—Compared to master actors like him, he is indeed a bit lacking in acting skills.

He kicked Svarog in the chest, but the force he used was actually just so-so.

Lin Yu didn't have much ill will towards Svarog to begin with, so he definitely wasn't going to kill him.

But Svarog, true to his Svarog, seized the opportunity and made an incredibly bizarre move in mid-air, causing his waist to make an unsettling cracking sound.

Looking at Svarog groaning on the ground, "My back is all twisted, it hurts so much!", Lin Yu began to suspect—could this guy have already anticipated that they would kick him out, so he deliberately pounced on him to increase his injury, in order to achieve the effect of playing the victim and pretending to be weak?

"Ah, Lin Yu..."

After glancing at Svarog, who seemed to be in great pain, the kind-hearted March 7th tugged at Lin Yu 'Lin Yu sleeve and whispered something to him.

"Thanks, but wasn't that kick a bit too hard?"

"What Lin Yu did in March..."

"Ouch, my back!"

Seeing Svarog clutch his waist and let out an even more pitiful wail, Dan Heng paused for a moment before continuing to speak to March 7th.

"Lin Yu did the right thing."

"This person is clearly not a good person. If you let him get close to you, you might be taken hostage."

However, it seems that Lin Yu really went a bit too far.

It feels like if this person continues like this, he's going to become paralyzed on the snow.

"Hmph, stop pretending."

As someone who had been fooled by Svarog multiple times, Gepard was clearly not fooled by Svarog's acting skills like March 7th and Dan Heng.

"Tie him up—with iron chains and ropes!"

"Hey, wait a minute, Commander Gepard! For the sake of my good relationship with your sister—"

"Dunn, do it!"

After watching Svarog being dragged away viciously by an officer next to Gepard took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and looked at Lin Yu and the others.

"Gentlemen, it seems you are not accomplices of that villain."

"You all look a bit unfamiliar to me. May I ask which street you're from?"

Ah, about that.

March 7th, who was about to take out his camera, saw Lin Yu summon a light screen.

"Let me explain, sir."

After summoning a light screen using Imaginary Energy, Lin Yu revealed the entire planet Jarilo -VI to Gepard.

"We are extraterrestrial visitors from other planets. The reason we came here is because we are looking for something called the Star Core."

"This thing is the culprit that has caused your planet to be ravaged by cold for hundreds of years. It is urgent. If possible, I would like to meet with your supreme commander."

"... Please wait a moment."

To be honest, Gepard believed a little of what the person in front of him said, but he still found it a bit strange.
