"Miss Rozanne, could you please go to the Yero Restaurant and pick something up for me? Remember to ask Mrs. Orianna to come along; she knows what I'm picking up."
Hearing this, Rozanne was taken aback for a moment. Her gaze fell on Klein, whose forehead was still covered in sweat, and she suddenly realized something.
"This…"
Lin Ruo didn't wait for her to continue, interrupting directly, "I'm sorry to trouble you…" He then looked at Klein and said:
"Klein, brew me a cup of coffee, will you? You know where my coffee is on the second floor. Oh, and if you see Captain Dunn, remember to tell him that I'll handle that matter. He doesn't need to worry… With me here, it's not yet time for him to risk his life. Besides, sometimes risking one's life can backfire!"
"Okay!" Klein immediately understood. Lin Ruo was asking him to go and explain the situation to Captain Dunn and reassure them. He nodded promptly, and although worried, he quickly took action.
Seeing this, Rozanne also turned to find Mrs. Orianna.
Seemingly unconcerned by their interaction, Megose, who had been seemingly listening to something, also looked up at Lin Ruo at this moment and said, "My child seems to like you very much… This is the first time I've seen him like someone so much."
"Really? It seems your child has good taste!" Lin Ruo smiled brightly, but in his heart, he couldn't help but complain.
What do you mean your child likes me? I have nothing to do with Him…
"My child certainly has good taste. He is very clever and has told me many things," Megose said, stroking her belly with a gentle expression.
"Has he told you anything about Lanevus?" Lin Ruo naturally picked up the thread and asked, clearly stalling for time.
Considering Rozanne and the others hadn't evacuated yet, he certainly couldn't just act without thinking—that would go against his original intention.
Moreover, Lin Ruo was actually worried that his ninety seconds wouldn't be enough to deal with the evil god's offspring Megose was carrying, so he decided to play it safe and see if he could wait for Klein Moretti.
He couldn't possibly stand him up, could he!
…
"Captain, something big has happened!"
Klein, using the excuse of making coffee, arrived on the second floor. Without time to knock, he pushed the door open and rushed in, telling Dunn as he closed the door behind him.
Dunn, who had been reviewing documents, looked at him in astonishment before understanding. He stood up, his expression becoming grave, and asked:
"What happened?"
"Just now, a pregnant woman came. Because her condition was very bad, I planned to use my Spirit Vision to observe her and confirm her mental state," Klein explained at lightning speed. "But my spirituality stopped my attempt, constantly warning me, 'Don't look! Don't look! Looking will kill you!'"
"This reminded me of a saying, 'One cannot directly gaze upon a god.' The baby in her belly, even if it is not an evil god trying to descend, or an offspring of an evil god, must belong to a mythical creature," Klein continued.
"Moreover, Lin Ruo appeared just now. He took the initiative to take over our conversation with that woman, and he sent Rozanne away, asking her to leave with Mrs. Orianna. For him to be so serious, the child that woman is carrying is almost certainly a mythical creature…"
As Klein said this, he couldn't help but recall the fear brought about by directly facing a mythical creature. Thinking of Lin Ruo facing such a dangerous existence alone, he was worried and continued:
"He also asked me to notify you of this matter and told me to tell you not to worry, that he would handle this matter. It's not yet time to risk our lives, and he also said that sometimes risking our lives can backfire."
Risking our lives can backfire… Dunn, who had subconsciously considered using Saint Selena's ashes from behind the Chanis Gate upon hearing that a woman possibly carrying an evil god's offspring had come to the Blackthorn Security Company, was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing that his idea was actually somewhat inappropriate.
Because the danger brought about by Saint Selena's ashes might stimulate the evil god's offspring, causing the evil god's offspring, which could have remained stable for some time, to descend prematurely.
That might not only fail to solve the evil god's offspring but also bring disaster.
Strange, how could he not have thought of this just now… Dunn raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling that his recent state seemed somewhat off.
However, this emergency situation didn't allow him to consider whether this abnormality was purely due to not resting well or caused by something else. He immediately said:
"Even with Lord Lin Ruo here, we can't do nothing. I will immediately seek help from the Holy Cathedral, hoping that the baby in that woman's belly can wait!"
"I'll go send a telegram first. Later, we'll go together behind the Chanis Gate to get a Sealed Artifact with strong attack power…" Dunn made a decision at lightning speed.
However, just as they finished sending the telegram and came from the second floor to the underground, a huge noise came from the reception room of the Blackthorn Security Company, along with faint roars belonging to a woman.
"You want to kill my child!"
"Why? My child clearly likes you so much! Why do you want to kill him!"
Even through the walls, even though it wasn't heard clearly, this voice instantly gave Klein the feeling of being struck heavily on the head. A sense of dizziness Attack, and it took him several seconds to barely regain his thoughts. He turned his head and found that Dunn's condition was no better than his.
"Go!" Ignoring their condition, the two immediately quickened their pace.
At this moment, inside the reception room, Lin Ruo looked at Megose, who had undergone a drastic transformation in a few seconds and hardly resembled a human anymore, and while his face was expressionless, he was cursing in his heart.
If the situation wasn't wrong, he really wanted to say, 'Hey lady, you were the one who mutated first, how can you accuse me of making the first move?'
"Ah ah—"
The lightning, which was a wide-range attack, flashed in almost every corner of the reception room at this moment. The silver glow was dazzling and dangerous, leaving Megose no choice but to passively endure the lightning striking her body, causing her to scream.
"Die!"
But Megose was, after all, nurturing an evil god's offspring. While enduring the damage caused by the lightning, she also launched a counterattack.
"You die for me!"
An invisible force seemed to want to throw Lin Ruo away, but the hurricane that formed around him dissipated this force.
Lin Ruo raised his hand in the direction of Megose, and the hurricane almost instantly turned into countless wind blades, each beam of wind becoming filled with murderous intent.
Seeming to sense the danger, Megose suddenly opened her mouth wide, stretching the corners of her mouth all the way to her ears.
She was going to use the "Language of Blasphemy" to curse the enemy in front of her who was trying to harm her child!
However, the wind blades were faster than her. The attack arrived before she could speak, forcing Megose to swallow the words back and instead choose to protect herself.
Lin Ruo, watching this scene, said quickly: "I am not a demigod of the 'Error' pathway; this is a fallacy."
He converted his pathway at this moment because Lin Ruo wanted to steal the evil god's offspring's "Language of Blasphemy"—this killing move was too threatening.
There wasn't a Leonard with Grandpa's cheat code and a 'Blood Vessel Thief' to help now; Lin Ruo could only rely on himself.
Where the hell is that old pigeon?
Lin Ruo had a headache; he felt like he could never trust the pigeons of the Storm Church again.
"Ah—!"
Just then, Lin Ruo suddenly heard a familiar voice, and then a figure was thrown not far away. It seemed to be a person.
At the same time, large swaths of lightning, like silver serpents, appeared in the air, accurately striking Megose.
Lin Ruo looked up into the air and saw a man with blue hair and blue eyes, wearing a long robe embroidered with lightning.
The Storm Old Pigeon, though late, has arrived!
