Chapter 599: Encounter
“Hello, today all desserts are 30% off. Would you like to take a look?”
“Sorry to interrupt, but all desserts are 30% off, thank you.”
“Welcome to the Lovelive Maid Café, please come in, three of you~”
“Hello, may I ask if you are interested in desserts and maids?”
At the entrance of the sparkling maid café, a figure dressed in a pink cat plush costume stood by the roadside, politely engaging with two passersby while holding a stack of flyers.
“Xiaolin, it’s a maid café! Should we go in and take a look?” A blonde beauty in a maid outfit gazed at the café with sparkling eyes.
“Forget it, I haven’t been paid this month, I don’t have any money to go to a café, and besides, they don’t even understand what a maid is. Listen carefully, a maid is not just…”
Beside her, another bespectacled office worker with dead fish eyes carried a convenience bag, talking as he walked ahead.
Watching the two passersby leave, Lin Qiye, dressed in the pink cat plush costume, let out a long sigh.
Soon, he approached another passerby and gently spoke:
“Hello, would you like to learn about the maid-themed café?”
“Sorry, no need…”
Dingling—!
Before the passerby could finish speaking, a faint sound of wind chimes echoed in the air.
The passerby’s expression changed instantly!
He quickly took a step back, knelt down in front of Lin Qiye, pressing his forehead to the ground, his body trembling slightly.
This sudden act of reverence left Lin Qiye momentarily stunned. Holding the flyer, he awkwardly said:
“Um… it’s just a flyer, there’s no need to be so apologetic…”
His voice quickly trailed off.
Not only this passerby, but all the pedestrians on this street had knelt down the moment they heard the sound of the wind chimes. Even the customers and maid servers from the café rushed out, facing a certain direction, neatly kneeling at the entrance.
In just a few seconds, apart from the pink plush cat, no one else was standing on this street.
Lin Qiye followed the direction they were kneeling towards and saw a man in a white robe slowly walking from the other side of the street, hands in his pockets amidst the halted traffic.
The flickering neon signs on both sides reflected on the asphalt, casting colorful patches of light. Under the pitch-black night sky, the man’s white robe was also illuminated in vibrant neon hues.
He slightly raised his head, and a white halo in his left eye rotated, quickly locking onto the pink plush cat nearby.
His eyes narrowed.
“Found you, intruder.”
The pink plush cat raised its hand and gently removed the fluffy large head. Lin Qiye held the head in his hand, frowning at the man in the white robe, his expression somewhat grim.
He didn’t know who this man in the white robe was, but judging by the reactions of others, he was definitely an existence that transcended social rules.
And his target was himself.
“Who are you?”
“[Pure Land], Oracle Envoy No. 3.”
Oracle Envoy?
This was the first time Lin Qiye had heard this title. From its literal meaning, it should refer to a messenger of the divine?
Since the other party had already discovered him, he might as well take this opportunity to extract more information.
Lin Qiye shook his head, “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not an intruder.”
The Oracle Envoy sneered.
The white halo in his left eye lit up again, and several photos were projected onto the asphalt, showing Lin Qiye walking along the mountain road.
“Releasing your aura, provoking divine wrath, and leaving traces of mental energy by the beach… isn’t that you?”
“Not me.” Lin Qiye replied firmly, “I wasn’t wearing a trench coat.”
After saying that, he even patted the pink plush costume he was wearing.
Oracle Envoy:…
Lin Qiye certainly didn’t expect the other party to believe his nonsense, but his goal had already been achieved.
The reason he denied his identity was to determine the cause of his exposure through the other party’s response. Initially, he thought it was because the divine had some automatic tracking power that left traces on him, allowing the other party to find him. But when the Oracle Envoy projected the surveillance photos, he realized…
Their method of tracking was simply retrieving surveillance footage.
However, it was indeed his own fault for not being careful. He originally thought this was just a fallen nation, and even if it was related to the divine, it wouldn’t be so close. But he never expected that the divine would use surveillance to find him!
Knowing the other party’s tracking method, Lin Qiye’s heart felt somewhat steadied.
“If it’s not you, then why aren’t you kneeling like them when you see me?” the Oracle Envoy pointed at the kneeling crowd around them.
“Why should I kneel to you?”
“I am the Oracle Envoy.”
“Oracle Envoy? A divine agent?”
“Divine agent?” The Oracle Envoy frowned slightly, seemingly unable to comprehend the meaning of this term. “I merely convey the divine’s will and manage the people of the mortal realm for them.”
A manager, not an agent… Lin Qiye’s mind raced.
“My appearance is the divine’s will. Wherever I go, it is as if the divine is present.
The divine has come, and you do not kneel?”
“Why should I kneel?”
The Oracle Envoy squinted at Lin Qiye, and after a long while, he sneered: “You intruders… are indeed all the same.”
“You intruders?” Lin Qiye quickly caught the key point, his eyes brightening. “Besides me, who else have you seen?”
“Once I capture you, you will naturally see them.”
The Oracle Envoy lightly raised his hand, pointing a finger at Lin Qiye. The ground beneath them instantly shattered, a terrifying chasm roaring forth as if an invisible giant blade sliced through the air, directly aimed at Lin Qiye’s throat!
Although Lin Qiye couldn’t see this blade, his mental energy could clearly sense its presence. In fact, the moment he sensed the blade, his head throbbed slightly… the terrifying lethality contained in this invisible blade could even injure his mental energy.
Lin Qiye’s figure darted to the side like a ghost, and although he couldn’t use any forbidden techniques, the mental perception from [Mortal Realm Divine Domain] and the agility from [Starry Night Dancer] had already been imprinted in his body, becoming a part of him, without attracting the gaze of mysterious eyes.
Sizzle—!
Lin Qiye had already moved at full speed, but he barely managed to evade the blade. The blade’s light grazed his body, instantly tearing his pink plush costume apart. A snow-white long knife was drawn from the gap, and he swung it down towards the void in front of him!
The blade of [White Slash] ignored space and struck towards the Oracle Envoy’s neck!
Clang—!!
The snow-white blade struck the Oracle Envoy’s neck without any obstruction, producing a sound like metal clashing, as if it had struck something of extremely high hardness, leaving only a shallow white mark.
