"You can come out now."
In the dead silence of the room, Lin Qiye breathed out gently, and a wisp of smoke mixed with the gas rolled out, quickly transforming into a figure wearing a black cloak.
No. 27 stood in the dim shadow. After a long time, he spoke in a low voice:
"The aura of thunder lingers around here..."
"Next to here is Thor's temple. Of course there will be his aura." Lin Qiye looked out the window at Asgard shrouded in the dim moonlight. "The most dangerous place is the safest place. You stay here to heal." , Thor won’t be able to find it for a while.”
He turned around and walked to the table to sit down. He saw No. 27 still standing in the shadow of the corner like a sculpture, and asked doubtfully:
"Won't you sit down?"
"I can recover faster in the shadows." No. 27 said hoarsely. After a moment of pause, he took the initiative and said, "You shouldn't risk hiding me in your body."
"Why?"
"I will help you kill the god, and you will help me find someone. This is the deal between us... You are not required to save me in the deal.
My assassination failed. You can leave me behind and save yourself. There is no need to take risks. "
After listening to No. 27’s solemn words, Lin Qiye was stunned for a long time, then smiled helplessly:
"There's no need to be so serious. I saved you just because it was convenient."
"This is not seriousness, this is respect for the contract." No. 27's voice was more serious than ever.
"... Whatever you think."
Lin Qiye finally figured out that this No. 27 was probably a bit stubborn, so he simply did not get too entangled with him on this matter, but asked:
"By the way, how do you know that your assassination failed?"
No. 27 did not speak, but silently took out a dark thing from under his cloak and threw it on the ground.
The thing rolled across the ground and was exposed to the moonlight outside the window. Only then did Lin Qiye see clearly that it was a strange-shaped skull.
The reason why I say it is weird is because the surface of this skull is pitted and pitted, as if it was pieced together after the skulls of different people were smashed into pieces. It has no sense of symmetry of the human skull.
Sure enough, it was the same as the Loki corpse in the underworld.
Lin Qiye thought secretly.
"When did you sneak into Asgard?" Lin Qiye asked the question that concerned him most.
"After I parted with you that day, I have been squatting near Asgard. However, because the Rainbow Bridge was broken, I was never able to enter. It wasn't until Thor and other gods descended into the mist through the Rainbow Bridge that I took the opportunity to enter Asgard in the opposite direction. ." No. 27 said unhurriedly, "After that, I have been looking for opportunities to assassinate Loki, but the time has never been ripe.
It wasn't until Thor brought you back from the outside world that I vaguely sensed an opportunity. While the one-armed God of War was resting, I hid in his shadow. Since both he and Thor were Loki's enemies, then as long as If I seize the opportunity to hurt both sides, I can kill them in one fell swoop..."
"However, this is the first time I have seen someone who can survive after being pierced through the heart and decapitated." No. 27's voice fluctuated slightly, seeming to be a little surprised and a little helpless.
"I failed this assassination... But I will never fail next time."
When Lin Qiye saw this, he didn't say anything more. He just leaned against the wall quietly and closed his eyes to rest.
…
The early morning sun shone on the ground, Lin Qiye's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
From entering the King's Treasure House to being tied to Asgard midway, his spirit has been in a highly tense state. Not long after he closed his eyes to rest his mind last night, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, Lin Qiye felt refreshed. He glanced around and found that No. 27 in the corner had disappeared.
"No. 27?" Lin Qiye whispered.
"I am in your shadow." The voice of No. 27 came faintly.
"Has your strength recovered?"
"I've recovered half of it...it still needs some time."
Lin Qiye nodded and was about to say something else when his shadow suddenly flickered and the voice of No. 27 sounded again:
"Thor is here."
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed and he immediately said: "Same as yesterday, hide it in my body!"
After a coordinated effort, No. 27 quickly turned into haze, rolled into Lin Qiye's lungs along with his breath, and disappeared into the room in an instant.
A few seconds later, there was a strong knock on the door.
Does he still know how to knock on the door
It seems that he didn't find out that No. 27 was hiding in his place.
Lin Qiye coughed twice and said, "Please come in."
The door opened, and Sol's tall figure stood outside. Since the door frame was a bit short compared to his body size, from Lin Qiye's perspective, he could only see Sol's neck.
"Miles, come out." Sol's helpless voice came from outside.
Lin Qiye got out of bed and walked out quickly.
I saw Thor standing outside the door with a haggard look, a little listless, as if his divine power had been overdrawn.
"Lord Saul, what are you..."
Of course, Lin Qiye knew that Sol was exhausted physically and mentally after not catching up with No. 27 all night, but at this time, he still needed to pretend.
"I'll get straight to the point, Miles." Thor lowered his head, looked into his eyes, and spoke seriously, "You said that your prophecy can only be used once a day, so I want to ask you to find someone today."
"Looking for someone again?" Lin Qiye was stunned, "Who are you looking for?"
"The Outer God Assassin who assassinated Loki yesterday."
Lin Qiye:…
Seeing that Lin Qiye looked a little weird, Thor thought he didn't understand, and continued: "It's the mysterious alien god who chopped off Loki's head in the underworld yesterday. The Nordic War Department and I had destroyed the entire Asgard last night. De turned around, but still couldn't find him... However, he must still be hiding somewhere in Asgard.
I know it's difficult for you to locate a god, but just like yesterday, I just want a general direction. "
Lin Qiye coughed twice and hesitated for a moment, "This... I can only try."
"Then give it a try." Before Lin Qiye could say anything more, Sol patted Lin Qiye's shoulder with his broad palm, almost knocking out the No. 27 in his lungs, "During the battle last night, I He was seriously injured, so I brought a tube of his blood, maybe your prophecy can be used."
Lin Qiye took the blood from Sol with a complicated expression. He then asked curiously:
"By the way, who was the assassin yesterday?"
