"Oh my god, man, what have you done?"

Star-Lord ran up from behind and stood on the edge of the cliff for half a minute. After confirming that the Red Skull had really fallen, he was completely confused.

Although the movements of the two people just now were fast, except for the 'victim' Red Skull, everyone else could see clearly.

Especially Star-Lord, who was relatively close, he could really see that the smooth and coordinated actions of Kong and Xing were 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 out loud: "Obviously, they invited that dark gentleman to ride on a roller coaster, hahahaha."

"Rocket, can you please stop gloating, comeon! Look at the situation, we still need Red Skull to find the Soul Stone. Now is good, people don't know if they will fall into pieces."

The humorous Star-Lord felt broken by Rocket's disregard for the situation, especially when he looked at the two people who caused such a scene and did not show much remorse.

"Wait a moment, just a moment."

Lin Ze closed his eyes and frowned. After a while, he slowly opened them and looked around.

"No change."

Lucy looked at the sky and showed an expression that was indeed the case. She shrugged and said lightly to Lin Ze who tried repeatedly: "I guessed it was like this."

Glancing at Star-Lord next to her, Lucy smiled brightly at him. When he was in a daze, she pulled Lin Ze over and asked in a low voice: "Are you working hard? Brother!"

"Love! love! We need the power of..., do you understand?"

He immediately rolled his eyes at Lucy. Lin Ze, whose teeth were itching, sounded a little helpless: "I didn't work hard enough???"

"From just now to now, in my mind I have given birth to eighteen children with the Red Skull!!"

It seemed that the bug of sacrificing NPCs did not exist at all. Lin Ze sighed, and he wanted to take a shortcut.

"One child is eighteen, pfft! You are really good at it."

Lucy covered her mouth and shook into a seaweed spirit: "It's a good thing it didn't work, otherwise I would have been punished."

That's right, this attempt was risky. If Lucy's 'stick' really changed anything, they would probably have to write it down until next year if they went back to check.

It seems that we have to go according to plan. Lin Ze blinked and couldn't explain how he felt at this time.

His lucky hopes were shattered, and he felt lost and uneasy. Lin Ze looked at the clouds and mist beneath his feet, feeling hesitant in his heart.

Haven't you already prepared it?

Why are you still so scared in the end?

[In the face of death, I still feel fear. 】

These familiar words reminded Lin Ze of a person, and he suddenly smiled: Just be afraid, whether you are a human or a god, you will all be afraid of death, but...it is not certain who will lose and who will win.

"Ahem, everyone, please be patient."

Lin Ze turned around to face his friends and Star-Lord. He winked at Lucy and began to tell lies with his eyes open.

"That was all agreed upon just now. Red Skull told me that the Soul Stone is indeed down there, but he still needs to make some preparations in advance."

"Prepare?"

Paimon, who flew over immediately when Star-Lord came to question the traveler, heard Lin Ze's explanation. She quickly asked: "So that's it, the Red Skull went down to do preparations, phew, Travelers, you told us earlier and scared us."

The simple Paimon absolutely believed in travelers, and there were not too many twists and turns. As long as Lin Ze explained, even if it was strange, she would throw all the problems in her head out of the sky.

"Of course it's not that simple."

Lin Ze became serious. Others were not as easy to coax as Paimon. Even if Teyvat's friends had unconditional trust in him, he and Lucy had behaved strangely just now. Of course, he couldn't use such a poor and crude excuse. To convince Star-Lord and others.

"Yes."

Lucy came to 'assist': "On such a high cliff, Red Skull actually said that he must jump from the top. This prerequisite for obtaining the soul gem is a conspiracy no matter how you think about it."

Star-Lord calmed down. According to what he said, it was indeed possible for the Red Skull to set a trap for them.

"You're right to be vigilant."

Gamora's puzzled expression faded slightly, and she looked at Lin Ze and Lucy with less suspicion: "We only met the Red Skull here, and there is no way to verify the identity of his guide. From the beginning In the end, what he said was true or false..."

Seeing that he had successfully aroused several people's suspicions about the Red Skull, Lin Ze went on to trick him: "Yes, and the Red Skull was floating in the air when it first appeared. If there is really a trap or trap below, we will rashly go down. If he jumps, he can escape unscathed, but we will be passive."

"Oh!!"

Paimon clapped his hands: "That's why Traveler, you let Star knock Red Skull unconscious first, and then kick him down. How smart."

Drax, who had been listening for a long time, also started taking pictures: "I think so too."

"Why didn't I think of this? Is this the legendary human wisdom?" Mantis murmured to herself while clapping her hands in front of the atmosphere team.

"Young Sora did a good job. This is called striking first, Quill, please learn from this."

Rocket's words made Star-Lord couldn't help but doubt himself: Could it be that he was really worrying too much?

Nebula turned to look at Gamora. She didn't think that her 'sister' really believed these people's 'nonsense'.

Gamora, who received Nebula's gaze, shook his head at the other party without leaving any trace.

Of course she didn't believe what the boy said, but that didn't stop her from going downhill. No matter what the reason for doing this, it didn't stop Gamora from believing in his purpose, which was ultimately to get the soul gem.

Lin Ze, who had received praise from everyone, secretly wiped his sweat. Although it was a bit far-fetched, he had managed to get it over with.

"No, what should we do now? Did the Red Skull tell you?"

Star-Lord didn't want to go into details, and he wasn't a stickler for words, so he put aside his doubts and began to think about what to do next.

"Of course there is."

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 trap 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 trap and get the gems."

Paimon suddenly realized it, and she was immediately 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 during the explanation. He gave the little guy a determined smile, and he patted his chest and promised that solving puzzles is just a piece of cake for a little expert in solving puzzles. La.

"That's not the case, just take a look."

The friends and Star-Lord were all arranged to have fixed 'mechanism points', and even Paimon was not left behind. Before leaving, Lin Ze warned uneasily:

"Okay, you guys must stay still. Next, wait for me to go to the bottom of the mountain to trigger the mechanism."

After speaking, Lin Ze called Lucy to the cliff.

"Hey!! Wait, traveler!"

Paimon's voice chased her from behind. Panting, she stopped in front of Lin Ze and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

The little girl clenched her hands tightly, and her brows were full of anxiety and uneasiness in addition to shame.

"I know I shouldn't hold you back at this time..."

Paimon swallowed:

"Let me go with you, Traveler. I'm still a little worried about you going down alone."

"I don't know why, but I always feel very panicked, as if something bad is going to happen."

The little girl nervously let go of the clothes in her hands and grabbed Lin Ze's arm instead, as if doing so would increase her inner support.

"Although I know I can't help you or anything, but...but..."

Paimeng racked his brains to think of reasons to convince Lin Ze to take her with him, as if 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 exhaled again, and he lost the courage to continue:

"Oh, it's okay...really...I-I'll be back soon."

Even though he said this, Lin Ze's eyes still blinked rapidly uncontrollably.

Seeing that Lin Ze was about to reveal his secret, Lucy quickly poked him.

Fortunately, there was someone nearby who reminded him, which allowed Lin Ze to block the surging emotions.

Paimon's retention was submerged in a warm embrace.

"Who says Pamon can't help me anymore? Pamon has always helped me a lot."

A tear was wiped away by Lin Ze quietly before the little guy noticed.

"You have to believe in my strength. I still owe Paimon a curry."

"Besides, don't worry, there are stars watching here. If the Red Skull flies up from below and attacks, someone has to give him a stick."

"In this way, after Paimon goes back, close your eyes and count down to one hundred. When you finish counting, I will come back with the soul gem."

Lin Ze loosened his arms around the little guy. Before Paimon could see his expression clearly, he twisted the little guy's body and pushed him forward.

"Then...well, travelers, please be safe."

Paimon covered up her disappointment and flew some distance away. When she turned her head again, she only saw the arc of the golden hair tail disappearing.

...

...

"One hundred, 99, 98, 97..."

Paimon covered her eyelids and counted the numbers in a low voice. At first, her counting speed was a bit slow, but gradually, she unconsciously sped up.

"85, 84, 83!"

Nothing changed except the sound of wind. The invisible pressure made Paimon almost out of breath. She immediately took away the hand covering her eyes and looked towards the path of the cliff.

"Hey! Cowherd! Did you see the traveler come back?"

Arataki, who was standing not far away, felt a shock on his back: "No! It's not that fast, how long has it been...ah, Ache!!"

"Hey...suck it, the traveler needs to speed up, my uncle's nose is about to condense into the entire Fontainebleau."

Paimon, who didn't get the answer he wanted, stamped his feet, frowned, and continued counting.

"82, 81, eighty..."

Boom! !

A bright white stream of light rose from around the mountain, and the light points shot straight into the sky and gathered in the sky. The moment it broke, a dazzling light made everyone close their eyes.

When I could open my eyes, some liquid fell on my skin, and I wiped it away.

"Huh? Is it raining? Hey, you..."

Yidou, who had taken off one of his shoes and was about to throw it to Paimon to protect him from the rain, suddenly changed color on his face. He raised his head and saw other people rushing towards him at great speed. Everyone had the same look on their faces.

"Dwarf melon?! Little Paimon! Paimon!!"

Idou, who didn't find Paimon, threw the shoes in his hands and ran towards the cliff like the others.

...

Paimon's small body was rising and falling on the water, her closed eyes were trembling, and there was a small 'stone' wrapped in her clenched hands.

"Traveler! Traveler! Paimon is here, where are you going?!"

Paimon, who was in a coma, began to struggle. The figure of the person in her mind became blurred, and the ripples of the water brought back the last words left by the person.

What he said was-

【world】

【Rejected me...】

“Traveller—!!!!”

Paimon's crying scream made everyone's hearts sink when they were about to reach the bottom of the cliff.
