Tokyo underground city

Chapter 170 "Windrunner" Lin Huai'en

In that moment. Lin Huaien felt numbness starting from his scalp and running through his entire spine.

He suddenly grasped the Gray Green Fury, and then, under the astonished gazes of others, he retracted his sword and quickly opened his attribute panel——

【Lin Huaien】

【Level lv.25】

[Number of deepest exploration levels: 8]

[Skills: Cursed Body lv2, Sword Theory lv4, Natural History lv2, Enhanced Perception lv2.2, External Brain lv1.0]

[Equipment: Gray Fury, Black Feather, To Diana, Martyr's Sword, White's Wristwheel...]

"..."

Looking at the attribute panel in front of him, Lin Huai'en was slightly silent.

Everything seems to be normal, but there is a problem at the deepest exploration level.

"The deepest exploration level is '8'? I have obviously reached the lowest level of the Forest of Giant Trees...that is, the Forest of Twilight, but how did I return to the 8th level of the 'Forest of Dawn'?"

"If I was dreaming before...but the attributes beyond the deepest exploration level are all correct...and if I have never been to the 9th level...how could I break through the ascent inhibition and reach level 25?" , obtain [external brain]..."

"Also, the two pieces of equipment that do not belong to me [Martyr's Sword] and [White's Wristwheel] also prove that my previous battle with Li Mu'en in the Dusk Forest was not an illusion..."

"And...Katerina..."

Lin Huai'en's eyes darkened when he thought of the foreign woman that the previous boy asked him to meet.

"Isn't it her fault..."

Although he didn't know how he moved from the tenth floor to the eighth floor of the Forest of Giant Woods, he was still vigilant in his heart.

He walked around the Windrunner camp and found that everything was normal and nothing unusual could be seen——

Except that when everyone sees him, they will call him——

Other than "Mr. Wynn".

.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Huaien finally decided to go to Catalina. After all, other than that, he didn't know what he should do as a "Windrunner".

However, after wandering around for half an hour, no one came to urge him. Instead, he felt more and more that the environment he was in now was very real.

He went to the main tent first, but Catalina didn't know if she had already left there because she had waited for him for too long.

However, what surprised Lin Huaien was that when he found Catalina, the blond woman did not show any abnormality.

Catalina stood in the crowd and nuzzled at him:

"You're late, otherwise you could have seen a good show."

"What's wrong?"

Lin Huai'en wasn't quite sure of the situation, but when he walked outside the garden, he heard a scream coming from the tree cave in the distance.

That familiar voice made him feel nervous.

"The companion of your sweetheart—I remember his name was Maria? He used some tricks to get rid of that sexually harassing bastard."

Katarina pointed to the center of the crowd.

Lin Huai'en followed Catalina's instructions and saw Marilla's figure in the crowd.

And the swordsmanship consultant lying at her feet, writhing.

And he subconsciously looked at the crowd around the girl——

Somewhat surprised, but also seemingly taking it for granted, I saw a man in white standing in the crowd of onlookers at this moment, and in front of him was Hara Yumu dressed as an explorer——

Or "sunset and snow".

"Her name is not Maria, but Marilla."

Lin Huai'en didn't know what Katrina was up to, but his intuition told him that the current strangeness probably had nothing to do with Katrina.

After all, he was the one who killed Li Muen. In the barrier at that time, he watched helplessly as Li Muen bled to death.

Theoretically, the young man in white shouldn't appear here, let alone behind Yuan Ximu——

It's like Katarina shouldn't be here!

.

Ten minutes later, Catalina was outside the director's tent, chatting with Lin Huai'en seemingly casually:

"I didn't expect that the little girl named Maria would actually have this idea..."

"Injure the wretched swordsmanship consultant, and then let the bodyguard brought by Xiyang Xixue go up to her... Then no one will blame her for injuring the swordsmanship consultant, and you can also drive the annoying sexual harassment bastard out of the crew - you East The way women deal with the world is really interesting.”

Lin Huai'en was silent for a moment, and decided to continue what Catalina said:

"No, I don't think Marilla alone can represent Oriental women."

Now that things have come to a point, he has figured out a few things——

First of all, his and Li Muen's identities should have been interchanged.

He is now "Windrunner" Wynn, and Li Muen is the bodyguard hired by Yuan Ximu.

Secondly, regardless of whether the things in his memory happened or not, he should have returned to the moment when the crew just arrived in the Dawn Forest more than ten days ago.

Because the time was set back more than ten days, Li Muen was not dead, Catalina had not yet shown her murderous intent to him, and was still the person in charge of Windrunner.

And except for him, no one has the memory of the Twilight Forest and the Twilight Forest - at least from Lin Huaien's point of view, this is the case.

It was difficult for him to even use "after" to describe this strange phenomenon.

Because he couldn't figure out whether it was time that went back in time or some kind of force that erased everyone's memory and dragged them into a fantasy world like "The Silver Queen".

It was even difficult for him to tell whether he was in reality or in a dream.

Even when I called Elsadova in [To Diana], there was no response.

Instead, Coco was summoned by him.

However, Coco lurked in the shadows for most of the entire crew trip, and coupled with the ambiguity of telepathy, it was difficult for Lin Huaien to figure out what was going on through Coco.

Curse didn't even show anything strange. After seeing Lin Huai'en, it wagged its tail happily at him.

Didn't show any vigilance.

To be honest, after the experience of the Twilight Forest, Lin Huai'en had the urge to take out the Gray Wrath and stab Katarina to death in front of him with a sword.

But he didn't know the consequences of doing so——

To liberate him from his current situation? Or is it making his situation worse?

So he remembered Officer Shao's rainbow skill——

[On the ninth day of the lunar month, do not use Qianlong. 】

When you are not sure about your own situation, it is better to wait and see what happens.

So he paused, followed Catalina's intention, and continued: "What do you think of Marilla's suggestion? Is the Amicala we recommended winning, or the young man recommended by Yingmiling? Can an actor win?”

He deliberately did not mention Li Muen's name, wanting to see Catalina's reaction.

Catalina shook her head as expected: "No, I think both of them have no chance."

The blond woman glanced at the inside of the tent indifferently: "Unless Shen Wanshan is a man who is seeking fame, otherwise he will never let him be the swordsmanship instructor if he chooses that young actor as His Highness Lan -"

"Everyone is limited in the temperament they can play, except for those who are truly talented."

Catalina smiled slightly and said.

"As for the Amikala we recommended - you may not know much about it, but I know exactly how many pounds the people under my command have. In my opinion, you are probably the only one among all the people in Windrunner. People who can pass Shen Wanshan’s preliminary test——”

Somewhat unexpectedly, Catalina gave Lin Wynn a very high evaluation without hesitation.

"But since you are already the 'ace' of our Windrunners, there is no need to play such a small role."

Lin Huai'en was silent for a moment, and decided to put Li Mu'en's existence on the table: "What about the young man recommended by Yuan Ximu and Marilla?"

"He is about the same age as me. Even I can pass Mr. Shen Wanshan's preliminary examination. Does he also have a certain chance?"

"It depends on his performance."

Catalina shook her head and said nonchalantly: "I don't think there are any young explorers today who can compare with you."

.

About thirty minutes later, the "sword fight" took place as scheduled.

It's just that the three leading actors changed from Lin Huai'en, Nalan Mingde and Amiya to Li Mu'en, Nalan Mingde and Amiya.

The moment Li Muen showed [Super Speed], everyone exclaimed in surprise.

He acted much more excited than Lin Huaien that time.

After all, [Superior Speed] is a powerful force visible to the naked eye. In comparison, [Sword Principle] and [Enhanced Perception] may not be able to keep up with the speed of his sword swing for ordinary people.

Not to mention realizing the subtleties of his swordsmanship and positioning.

But after Li Muen defeated Nalan Mingde with one sword, Katrina only frowned slightly and did not show much excitement.

Regarding this situation, Lin Huaien pondered for a long time and finally believed that if Katrina really had previous memories like him, or acted like some kind of illusion, she would show surprise and praise like everyone else. right--

This slight frown is more like the woman's true appearance——

After all, Lin Huaien has not forgotten that in order to kill him, Catalina treated Li Muen as an abandoned son!

At that time, he still couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking...

But... maybe now is an opportunity to ask clearly?

"What? Judging from your expression, you don't seem too surprised?"

Lin Huai'en asked calmly, deliberately showing an indifferent look.

Sure enough, Katrina spoke:

"It's just [Super Speed]... People who don't know better will think this ability is very powerful, but in my opinion, it's just another liar who uses the aura of the white card to add weight to himself."

Catalina gave Li Muen a rather harsh evaluation.

It was so harsh that it made Lin Huaien wonder if she was telling him on purpose.

Lin Huai'en couldn't help but shook his head:

"Although you don't like him, there's no need to be so exaggerated... [Speed] is Baika's core skill after all..."

"It's just 'one' of Bai Ka's core skills."

However, Catalina narrowed her eyes slightly and interrupted Lin Huaien's speech.

She looked at Li Muen among the stars and said calmly: "The reason why the white card in the abyss layer can use [Super Speed] as a core skill is because he has experienced many adventures..."

"In other words, every explorer who can grow up to be a white card is a miracle. Miracles cannot be copied. Rather than blindly pursuing the miracles of white cards, it is better to do a good job in the junior explorer stage, which is the most important thing. Things——”

Speaking of this, Catalina looked at Lin Huaien with a touch of appreciation in her eyes:

"Just like you."
