Chapter 51: Oh No!

Lin Lin, who is good at complaining about the world but does not encourage self-reflection, sometimes reflects on herself when she has no other choice.

For example, right now Lin Lin is wondering why everyone who knocks off a statue’s head puts it in their own arms.

Is it that she has some strange attraction? Does she look like someone who would be interested in the head?

Lin Lin is really scared that the City Lord will come and blame her for this.

So she quickly handed the statue’s head back to Arthur, who put it back on. The statue swayed dangerously and eventually fell to the ground, cracking.

This scene felt familiar; Lin Lin covered her forehead, trying not to think of that strange man in a suit.

Unlike Lin Lin’s silence, Sharon found Arthur more likable from then on. She patted Arthur’s arm, saying he would make a great follower of the God of Light.

Lin Lin thought to herself, when Arthur equally pulls off the head of the God of Light statue, you might not think so anymore.

Compared to Lin Lin’s fear of angering the City Lord, Sharon always had a feeling of being ready to face challenges.

"Why are you so excited?" Lin Lin didn’t understand, "This is a space made by the City Lord. You have said before that in this space, the City Lord’s power is much greater than his original strength."

"Because we are going to break the dark forces! We are saving the happy lives of others!" Sharon said with a serious expression.

The dark force Lin Lin, standing in front of Sharon, decisively ended the topic, "I wish you success."

As they walked out of the church, the fish that had previously stayed away slowly reappeared around them.

A small red and white fish brushed against Lin Lin’s face, then bumped and dashed into the tentacles of a sea anemone.

Ah, even fish can be a bit confused, Lin Lin thought.

Then, with a kind heart, Lin Lin shifted her gaze and saw someone walking beside her.

Arthur still had his usual cold expression, but he had a turtle in his hands, which he had somehow gotten. He was holding the turtle’s shell with both hands, as if playing with a steering wheel in modern society.

From the way the sea turtle did not retreat into its shell, it was clear that it had become completely dizzy.

Why did this guy suddenly become so clumsy once he was underwater? And why did he have to wear such a cold and gloomy face while bothering innocent sea turtles?

Lin Lin reached out and snatched the sea turtle from Arthur’s hands, holding it close. The sea turtle woke up for a moment and slowly swam away.

Just as Lin Lin had calmed the sea turtle, Arthur already had an eel in his hands, which he had been using to tie knots.

Lin Lin: …

Lin Lin took the eel from Arthur’s hands; she felt a little afraid of it and had to use some strength to untangle the knotted eel.

Unlike the good-natured sea turtle, this hot-tempered eel opened its mouth wide and charged at Arthur, vowing to take revenge for the humiliation it had just suffered.

A killer whale’s tail suddenly appeared, crushing the eel in an instant, letting it fall to the ground.

This guy doesn’t think twice about doing bad things, no matter how small.

Lin Lin said, "Arthur, I think…"

Before Lin Lin could finish her advice, Arthur handed her a small fish that glowed with a blue light. When you pressed its belly, it would change color and shine.

Lin Lin swallowed her words of advice and began to see which colors this fish could change into.

Suddenly, a shadow passed overhead, blocking the light that fell from above.

Arthur was the first to react; he looked up and coldly stared at the huge creature that had appeared unexpectedly.

Lin Lin also looked up, but she could only see the grayish-white belly.

It was a humpback whale. This one looked younger than the one they had seen before, so it was smaller. But even though it was smaller, the whale’s tail fin was over four meters long, easily overpowering.

Before she could look closely, Lin Lin felt her neck tighten.

Not just her, but also Sharon.

Arthur grabbed the collar of a lucky human and swam quickly like a bullet.

It was Lin Lin’s first time feeling like she was on a roller coaster underwater.

Whether it was a house or a big tree in front of him, Arthur could swiftly and lightly dodge, leaving Lin Lin and Sharon screaming so loudly that their throats were filled with water, making it impossible for them to make any sound.

During the exciting chase, Lin Lin could hear the sound of heavy objects hitting behind them, meaning that the humpback whale was not just passing by, but was really chasing them.

What’s wrong with it? Why did it suddenly attack them?

Lin Lin couldn’t understand the thoughts of these underwater animals.

Luckily, Arthur swam faster than the humpback whale, and they successfully shook it off before reaching the City Lord’s mansion.

At the gate of the mansion, Lin Lin and Sharon clung to the white-painted railing, spitting out water together.

"I heard humpback whales are very gentle animals, and they usually eat krill," Sharon said, patting her chest. "Is it okay? Has it gone crazy?"

Lin Lin was still in shock and gazed into the distance to make sure the humpback whale wasn’t following them. She asked Arthur beside her, "Is a real humpback whale like this? Did the book get the behavior wrong?"

Arthur nodded his head.

Lin Lin sighed heavily and shifted her focus back to the City Lord’s manor.

Unlike the church, the City Lord’s manor looked particularly run-down, as if it had suffered through many storms. It appeared far more pitiful than the grandeur on land.

Without even needing to pick the lock, Lin Lin shook the large door a couple of times, and the lock opened by itself.

The three of them entered the manor, which was covered in thick vegetation.

The fish liked the hiding places in the trees, and small fish crowded into every corner. Lin Lin and the others had to watch their feet carefully to avoid stepping on anything.

Finally reaching the mansion’s entrance, they saw the peeling walls and crooked windows, giving it the feel of a crumbling, unsafe building.

But to truly find clues related to the City Lord, they had no choice but to come to the manor.

Lin Lin believes that the City Lord will surely keep a good diary. A person like that looks like someone who honestly writes down everything they do in their diary and then holds it while admitting their wrongdoings.

The comics Lin Lin has read are all like this.

Just as Lin Lin confidently pushed the door open, Sharon frowned slightly, "Wait a moment."

Lin Lin paused in her action of pushing the door, looked at Sharon, and awaited her explanation.

Sharon frowned, "I have a feeling we will see something very scary inside."

Lin Lin tilted her head, "Related to magic?"

Sharon nodded slightly, "The magic vibration frequency here is different from outside."

Lin Lin decisively pushed Arthur to the front, "You’re up!"

Absolutely tough and resilient, there is definitely a chance to defeat magical damage!

Compared to Lin Lin and Sharon’s surprise, calm Arthur pushed the door open without any worry.

Blinding light shone into their eyes, and the people who had been in the dim light instinctively squinted.

The cool sea water faded away, and warm air surrounded their bodies, making even breathing feel easier.

"These are all bad goods! Just bad goods!"

Although his eyes were still closed, a deep male voice reached his ears, and it sounded slightly familiar.

Lin Lin opened her eyes, and the grand hall appeared before her, looking not much different from the mansion she had seen before.

Compared to the mansion’s decoration, the man shaking his head and muttering "rubbish" was the more striking presence.

He probably wasn’t really angry; he was just playfully teasing them.

So the man lazily stretched his words, deliberately looking at them with a critical gaze, and clicked his tongue, saying, "All three newcomers are as thick as wooden heads, which is why I hate bringing in newcomers."

"Ah," Lin Lin raised her hand, her gaze moving from his black short hair down to his deep blue eyes, to his very pale skin and the light-colored mole at the corner of his lips, "may I ask why you are dressed like this?"

Yes, this man in a suit, whom she had met three times, always left a strong impression on Lin Lin. She completely remembered his appearance.

But at that moment, the man in the suit had given up his usual full suit and changed into a black and white maid outfit with a long skirt.

He seemed not to feel that there was anything wrong with his outfit, wearing an expression like, "What kind of silly question are you asking?"

"Because I am the head maid!"

No, think carefully. Isn’t the "girl" at the beginning of "head maid" very important? You shouldn’t just be the head maid; you can’t even meet the basic role of a maid, right?

Or do you mean as long as it is black and white clothing, you can accept it?

Someone come and share her confusion! Lin Lin looked eagerly at her companion beside her.

Oh no! Arthur had a look on his face as if he had seen dangerous trash!
