Chapter 1267 – Perfect Disguise

　　The moment this smoke haze crashed into the shadow, Lin Qiye only felt a chill at his back and an inexplicable chill surged up from the soles of his feet.

　　This is ……

　　Without waiting for Lin Qiye to return to his senses, a weak voice rang in his ears:

　　”It’s me …… Get out of here! They’re catching up!”

　　It was No. 27’s voice.

　　Without saying a word, Lin Qiye immediately moved to walk quickly towards the nearby streets, and by the time his form had just disappeared into the Miracle Square, several figures curled up and landed from the air with terrifying divine might, looking around with furrowed brows.

　　”Sol, are you sure you saw him running towards here?” A tall and majestic god in battle armor spoke in a deep voice.

　　”There can be no mistake.” Saul’s eyes that contained thunder swept over the surroundings and said with certainty, “Now that the Rainbow Bridge is broken, no one can leave Asgard, not to mention that he was hit by my thunderbolt and can’t run too far, so he must be in this neighborhood.”

　　”Split up and look!”

　　As the god’s words fell, the Nordic War Department behind him immediately dispersed in all directions, searching a little bit along the staggered streets.

　　Not far away, Lin Qiye traveled through the streets, feeling the majestic divine power coming from behind him, his brows furrowing the tighter.

　　”What’s going on?”

　　”I’m being chased.” No. 27 spoke weakly, “That Thor’s thunder is my nemesis, no matter how much I run, he can catch up to me. And now that the entire Asgard is closed, I can’t escape, so I can only keep fleeing within the various divine domains until just now when I happened to run into you …… in the Plaza of Miracles.

　　Don’t be alarmed, I’m just borrowing your body as a cover to temporarily recover my strength, in a moment you’ll walk to the second corner in front of you and I’ll jump into the holy river from there, I won’t drag you down.”

　　Lin Qiye asked in a lowered voice while speeding up his steps, “Jump into the holy river? Are you sure you can escape them this way?”

　　”…… Not necessarily, but I can only try.”

　　After the words fell, No. 27 stopped speaking and seemed to be doing his best to suppress the injuries on his body, leaving only his ragged breathing echoing in Lin Qiye’s ears.

　　Lin Qiye followed No. 27’s pointing and walked through two streets in a row, feeling the gradually approaching divine power behind him, beads of sweat began to seep out from the corners of his forehead.

　　In this situation, he could never rashly utilize his ability to fly through this area, nor could he fly at full speed, which in the eyes of those gods spread out in search would be tantamount to being here without a silver lining, and would only attract their attention faster.

　　What’s more, in terms of speed, Lin Qiye didn’t think he could break through the Nordic War Department’s encirclement.

　　He had to act as naturally as possible to prevent the Nordic War Department from finding out what was going on.

　　But unfortunately, there really weren’t many pedestrians on the streets of Asgard this late at night, and those carpet-searching gods quickly noticed Lin Qiye walking alone on the street, and after hesitating for a moment, they flew towards him.

　　”They’ve noticed this place …… I should go.” No. 27 keenly sensed the gods turning and spoke helplessly.

　　”But this is still far from the Holy River, are you sure you can break through their encirclement?”

　　”I don’t have a choice.” By this moment, No. 27’s voice also calmed down, “If you don’t leave, you’re going to be caught with me ……”

　　No. 27’s figure transformed into a wisp of smoke and haze and was about to leave Lin Qiye’s body when, just then, Lin Qiye looked like he had thought of something, and a glint flashed across his eyes.

　　”Wait!” Lin Qiye suddenly spoke, “Can you turn into a gas and hide in my lungs?”

　　”It’s possible …… but this kind of small trick won’t fool them, there are gods among them who specialize in peering through invisibility and can see through your flesh to find me with a single glance.”

　　”You don’t have to care about that, hide in here!”

　　”Are you sure? If you’re found, you’ll have to die with me.”

　　”Cut the crap! They’re coming over!”

　　Amidst Lin Qiye’s murmurs, No. 27 ended up floating up into the air and disappeared without a trace as the air that Lin Qiye inhaled, rolled into his lungs.

　　Lin Qiye frowned and couldn’t help but lower his head and cough twice.

　　”It’s you?”

　　Almost simultaneously, a thunderbolt smashed down from the air, transforming into a figure clad in a red cloak that stood in front of Lin Qiye.

　　Sol carefully sized him up and asked suspiciously, “Why are you here?”

　　”Lord Saul.” Lin Qiye feigned surprise as he spoke, “After we returned to Asgard, Lord Tyre left wounds on us and let us move around freely……. I thought I’d just go around everywhere since it’s my first time in Asgard, and you’re… …?”

　　Lin Qiye took the initiative to lift his collar and showed the red wound left by Till to Sol.

　　Seeing that scar, a look of realization surfaced on Sol’s face as he nodded, “Did you just now, see something that flew past from the vicinity?”

　　”Something?” Lin Qiye thought carefully, “It seems like there wasn’t.”

　　Several figures slowly landed next to Sol, their gazes fell on Lin Qiye, and a look of alertness immediately appeared in their eyes:

　　”Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

　　”He’s the one I brought back, the agent of Merlin, the God of Magic and Prophecy ……,” Sol explained to the crowd of the Nordic War Department, and only then did the crowd’s gazes ease a bit.

　　The god at the head, who was clad in battle armor, carefully surveyed Lin Qiye and spoke to a god beside him with a solemn face:

　　”Check it out.”

　　”Uh-huh.”

　　In the Nordic War Department, a god first slowly closed his eyes before snapping them open, his pupils flickering with azure light.

　　He stared at Lin Qiye up and down for a long time before the light in his eyes gradually faded, “No problem.”

　　”…… Go, continue searching!”

　　Hearing these words, the battle-armor clad god immediately lost interest in Lin Qiye and waved his hand, taking the many gods up into the air and continuing to fly off in all directions.

　　Saul didn’t rush to fly away with them, but instead patted Lin Qiye’s shoulder and said, “If you don’t have a place to go, go back to my divine temple and someone will arrange a place for you to stay.”

　　As the words fell, his figure transformed into a thunderbolt and quickly disappeared in place.

　　Lin Qiye stood in place and waited until all the gods were far away before he let out a long breath, his back already drenched in cold sweat.

　　With the “perfect disguise” that he had previously promised using the [Holy Grail], he had successfully fooled the god in charge of snooping, not only not revealing his true identity, but also hiding the number 27 in his body.

　　However, what surprised Lin Qiye was that Saul even took the initiative to find him a place to stay, most likely because he saw him wandering the streets alone in the middle of the night and thought he had nowhere else to go.

　　In that case, it seemed that Saul was still a pretty good person.

　　Lin Qiye didn’t rush to release the 27th, but instead walked straight to Sol’s temple and was guided by a maid to a fairly spacious residence at the back of the temple.

　　Lin Qiye closed the door of the room with his backhand and swept his spiritual power across the surroundings, confirming that no one else was watching before he lowered his voice and spoke:

　　”You can come out now.”
