Chapter 1196 Lin Mao: My Strength Doesn't Allow Me to Keep a Low Profile
"Wait a minute!"
Fu Ningna was all ready to listen to the story, but Lin Mao interrupted her.
“We’re here to solve problems, not to listen to stories. You don’t need to tell me about the other party’s background.”
Because I already know.
He's a fake Mondstadt.
Upon hearing Qin mention it, Lin Mao was 100% certain that it was the one that crawled out of the heart of the demon dragon Dulin on the snow mountain.
An individual that was deemed a failure and destroyed by Rhinedoth, but miraculously escaped being digested by the dragon Durin.
As a failed attempt, he wanted to replace Aberdo as Rhein-Dortmund's successful creation.
However, after the failure, they became hostile towards Abedo, and their attitude changed from replacing him to eliminating him.
That guy seems to have a sense of community.
In the story, it seems that he orchestrated the replacement of the Mondstadt people, then infiltrated the Knights of Favonius to assassinate Abeldo, thus branding him with the infamy of being a 'mad alchemist'.
They were to be eliminated on charges of intentional homicide.
However, it is clear that the fact that the band leader noticed the abnormality at this point basically means that his plan is doomed to failure.
In particular, Iris of the Witches' Guild also cast her gaze toward Mondstadt.
What will happen if I succeed?
It's not something Alice can handle with a single thought.
He had no idea what kind of power stood behind Mond and Abeddo.
Even the wind god, who does nothing, can be killed with a single breath.
But was Alice watching in the original storyline?
Maybe not.
It's also possible that Alice noticed, but simply watched from the sidelines without showing herself, just to test the little ones.
Just like Alice said when she made the request.
Their main purpose in coming here was not to solve the problem, but to prevent the danger of this matter from escalating.
Lin Mao actually came here as an insurance agent.
My thoughts have reached this point.
Lin Mao interrupted Abedo, saying, "We're here to do only one thing."
"Get rid of the hypocrites, get rid of the hypocrites, and get rid of the hypocrites again!"
"Understood." Abedo did not refute, and nodded in agreement with Lin Mao's words.
"According to my investigation, the other party is a kind of collective consciousness, with a leader controlling everything, and the other party is very vigilant."
"Taking action against them without finding their leader would only alert them. We suggest we pretend we know nothing and secretly observe what they intend to do."
"The other side is unaware that we already know about him. Given that they are calculating against us, our chances of winning are very high."
Fu Ningna glanced at Lin Mao and nudged him subtly.
"If it were you in your original form, it seems like you could easily resolve this matter."
What leaders, what collective consciousness? With the power of the Law Enforcer, they can be wiped out with a single thought.
Lin Mao glanced at him sideways and said in a very pretentious manner:
"What wasn't easy for me in my prime?"
Funina secretly made a face, "Show-off."
"That's what you call true strength."
walnut:'……'
Watching the two of them talk, Hu Tao felt somewhat superfluous, and her head was shining brightly as if it were emitting light.
After the casual conversation ended, Lin Mao fell into deep thought, to be honest.
Aside from his ability to recognize the Herrscher of Reason, he didn't really have any good ideas on how to find out the mastermind behind it all.
Perhaps we could follow Aberdo's approach.
According to the plot, they eventually succeeded and caught the person behind the scenes.
And in this process, not a single soldier was lost.
It was a resounding victory.
But it takes too long, and I don't know how long I'll have to stay in Mondstadt. I definitely can't stay there any longer.
Walnut definitely wouldn't be able to stay there either.
"Should we call over the Law Enforcer of Knowledge?"
Lin Mao thought lazily.
With the presence of those who understand the laws, no matter what kind of fake humans, clones, or artificial humans they are, they will all be crushed to pieces under her power.
But calling her name also means she's out of control.
Lin Mao knew that although the Lawbringer of Knowledge appeared to be obedient to him, he secretly disliked him.
They always want to find an opportunity to prove that they are the strongest one in the chat group.
Didn't you see Lin Mao visiting her last time dressed as Sita Lari?
Without saying a word, she immediately wanted to fight.
If we call the Lawgiver of Knowledge over this time, the matter can probably be resolved satisfactorily in the end, but the process... will definitely be more interesting than if he did it himself.
simply put.
Those who understand the laws will cause him trouble.
"Don't contact her for now. Only go to her when you really can't solve the problem."
Use only as a last resort.
It's not time to be forced into a corner yet.
"Hey! Stop talking about business! The person in charge of Mondstadt is right here. Quickly introduce me to her!"
Hu Tao's urging voice rang out.
Her purpose in coming to Mondstadt was not just to keep an eye on Lin Mao and help Iris solve Mondstadt's problems.
She also wants to establish connections with the Knights of the West to pave the way for the future expansion of the Temple of Rebirth's overseas business.
The title "Chairman" almost perfectly encapsulates her status within the Knights of Favonius.
Basically, they are the ones who make the decisions.
If not now, when?
Lin Mao listened to Hu Tao's voice without changing his expression.
"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself."
He said in surprise.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Hu Tao, the head of the Liyue Rebirth Hall. The Rebirth Hall's services include, but are not limited to, exorcism, ghost catching, exorcism, and a one-stop service for the deceased... If you are interested, mention my name and you will get a 20% discount on the first memorial tablet and a 50% discount on the second one!"
Funina: "..."
Qin: "..."
Abedo: "..."
Done!
Lin Mao recited his self-introduction as if he were reading lines from a script.
Ignoring the three people's reactions, he began to speak to himself:
"Now that you've noticed this, do you have a list or anything about the people who were replaced?"
"Have."
Coming to his senses, Commander Qin nodded and rummaged through the drawer under the table. A moment later, Lin Mao had a document filled with names in his hand.
"Some of these are just suspicions, while others have already been identified."
“Those who were replaced do not show any problems in normal conversations, making it very difficult to determine which people are not the original ones.”
Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt nervous, and therefore contacted Iris to tell her about the situation in Mondstadt.
It's also a form of insurance.
In case Mondstadt really goes into trouble, Iris will have an early warning and be able to rush back to salvage the situation immediately.
Fu Ningna craned her neck to look at the name on the document in Lin Mao's hand, but before she could see it clearly, Lin Mao pressed her down.
"You're blocking my way."
"Let me see! Let me see!"
"Here you go, here you go, here you go!"
Lin Mao handed the document to Funina and told her to take a good look at it.
Fu Ningna took the photos and glanced at them; she didn't recognize any of the people on them.
"What do you need these people's names for?"
"Of course, it's about solving the problem."
Lin Mao stretched; he wasn't the type to enjoy waiting.
"Commander Qin."
"Ok?"
Lin Mao pointed to the names on the document, "These names highlighted in red are the people who were replaced, right?"
The ensemble leader nodded. "Yes."
"Okay, I understand."
"What are you going to do?" Funina asked innocently.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Is the ensemble leader here?"
A soft voice rang out from outside. Just that voice was like a gentle breeze, making one feel that the owner of the voice must be a good and well-behaved child.
On the other hand, the ensemble leader, who was shouting in the voice, immediately frowned upon hearing the sound.
"..."
