Chapter 527 Man is the butcher, I am the fish on the chopping block.
Lin Qiye looked at the two women in front of him, their eyes filled with love for him, and listened to their almost pleading advice.
He was neither angry nor did he refute.
I just watched them quietly.
Tolerate?
That word doesn't exist in his dictionary.
but……
Seeing the two women's worried expressions, Lin Qiye sighed, then reached out and pulled them into his arms, one on each side.
Caught off guard by Lin Qiye's sudden action, the two women were about to struggle when a warm, mellow current, seemingly containing boundless vitality, instantly surged into their limbs and bones!
"Well……"
The two felt a warm sensation throughout their bodies, a comfort that seemed to penetrate to their very bones.
The spiritual energy, which had been somewhat stagnant due to anxiety, began to surge joyfully under the nourishment of this warm current!
Even his mental and spiritual consciousness received great comfort!
The nourishing effect is even more significant than if they were to retreat into seclusion for a month or even half a year!
"this……"
Although they had tried Lin Qiye's methods before, they couldn't help but be amazed every time.
The two girls blushed and almost wanted to stay in Lin Qiye's arms, not wanting to get up.
But the next second, reason prevailed.
This is a life-or-death moment, not the time to do such shameful things!
"you……"
Lin Yuechan gritted her teeth, forcefully breaking free from Lin Qiye's burning embrace. She straightened her slightly disheveled combat uniform, her face flushed but her gaze intensely fixed on him:
"Qi Ye! I'm really serious about this!"
"Stop fooling around!"
Si Qingwan, standing to the side, nodded vigorously, her eyes still somewhat glazed, but she forced herself to agree:
"Yes, Qi Ye, the Arbitrator isn't joking..."
Lin Qiye smiled, not annoyed at being pushed away.
He turned around and, with remarkable ease, picked up the specially made alloy spear again.
"call--"
With a jerk of his arm, the spear shot out like a dragon emerging from the sea!
"boom!"
An air explosion.

While maintaining his rhythmic thrusting motion, Lin Qiye said with a relaxed expression:
"Okay, I'm listening carefully too."
"Teacher Lin, could you explain it to me in detail?"
"After all, I'm not very familiar with the Arbiters from this main planet."
"Logically speaking, weren't they here for the glory of the great emperor? Weren't they righteous messengers who captured the Abyss's lackeys and maintained galactic peace?"
"I'm not a lackey of the abyss. I have an innocent background and am a hero who fights against evil gods. What do I have to be afraid of?"
At this point, Lin Qiye thrust out his spear again, his eyes narrowing slightly:
"Or do you mean... they're coming here to frame me for some purpose?"
Seeing that Lin Qiye could maintain this strange thrusting motion while chatting, the two women were no longer surprised.
He's always been like this, even when he was just an ordinary martial artist.
I just love thrusting!
What's puzzling is that while others would have been ruined by practicing like this, he only got stronger and stronger, making rapid progress every day.
Now they've left those two teachers far behind!
Lin Yuechan took a deep breath, looked at the many gun shadows, and said in a deep voice:
"They did come under the banner of the Great Emperor, and their true purpose was indeed to eliminate the remnants of the Abyss."
"but……"
A shadow crossed Lin Yuechan's eyes:
"Every human being has selfish desires."
"Especially when they hold the power of life and death, and are facing a 'rural place' like ours, their arrogance and greed will be amplified infinitely."
"In their eyes, we are not compatriots, or even... human beings."
Lin Qiye's hands didn't stop moving as he fired another shot, causing the air to explode.
"Specifically?"
"For example, what situations might arise?"
"You just told me to be patient, so you must know something about it."
Although Lin Qiye had absolute confidence in himself, he never fought a battle unprepared.
Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.
Since we're going to be facing the so-called Arbiter and the so-called God of War, we need to find out their background!
Lin Yuechan's face was grim, and she gritted her teeth as she said:
"The Arbiter will demand that you... hand over the mysterious relic within your body and undergo a full 'purification' and investigation, citing suspicion that you have been corrupted by a higher level of the Abyss."
"Only in this way can your innocence be proven."
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
"boom!"
The spear in his hand still moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, creating a burst of air, and his movements did not stop at all.
He maintained the high-intensity training while scoffing:
"How can you hand over the mysterious relic that has already been refined into your body?"
"That's something that's grown together with flesh and soul. Forcibly separating it will cause you to immediately drop in cultivation level and fall to the mortal realm."
"Is this what they call an 'investigation'?"
Lin Yuechan took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"Yes! If they ask for it, you must give it to them!"
"Because if you show any hesitation or resistance... that is 'fleeing from justice,' 'open rebellion,' and disrespect for the great emperor!"
"They would then have an excuse to kill you on the spot!"
"This is... the tyranny of the Star's Arbiters! And it's their consistent style of doing things!"
Lin Qiye's hand finally paused for a moment.
He turned his head, looked at the two women, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face:
"Huh? That works too?"
"You can steal things like that?"
"So, once they're here, they can kill whoever they want? Is this what they call representing the glory of a great emperor?"
Si Qingwan sighed, shook her head, and said bitterly:
"Sigh, that's reality."
"The video recordings of previous incidents have already identified you as the person in question."
"Then we'll use that as a reason to investigate you. That's a solid reason, and nobody can find fault with it."
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, and thrust out his spear once more.
"boom!"
"Hmm, can I put it this way...?"
As he watched the experience points of Super Martial Will increase in the system, he calmly analyzed the situation:
"If they demand that I hand over the mysterious relics, this behavior itself is not in accordance with regulations, and could even be described as robbery."
"However, their arrival here represents absolute military force."
"Even if it's illegal, as long as those in the know are suppressed, there will be no evidence."
"History is written by the victors, right?"
Lin Yuechan and Si Qingwan nodded solemnly.
That's what they meant.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qiye, the person involved, was able to maintain such terrifying calmness and rationality at such a critical moment.
However, upon further reflection, it's only natural that a mysterious and powerful individual with a 100% developed "extraordinary brain" would understand the intricacies of the situation in an instant.
Lin Qiye's lips curled into a mocking smile as he continued:
"Presumably, the 'price' for accepting the Arbiter's 'investigation' is roughly the mysterious relic, right?"
"They were willing to cross galaxies just for this..."
"What a clever plan."
At this point, Lin Qiye's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the spear in his hand trembled violently, emitting a humming sound like a dragon's roar!
"but!"
Have you considered another possibility?
He looked at the two women, his voice icy:
"After handing over the mysterious relic, my strength decreased, and I even fell back to the extraordinary realm."
"At that time, I'll be like a fish on a chopping board, and how they mold me will depend entirely on their mood."
"if……"
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed, revealing a chilling glint:
"What if they discover I have other valuable items, like... I possess more than one mysterious relic?"
"Or do I have other secrets?"
"At that time, I no longer had the ability to resist."
"Wouldn't I... die an even more horrible death?"
"Even my woman, my children, everyone connected to me—are they going to suffer?"
