Chapter 1199: No. 27
Boom, boom, boom——!!
A faint humming sound echoed from the distant mist. As they drifted further from land, both Lin Qiye and He Lin turned their heads to look back.
"It seems your guess was right..." He Lin said slowly.
"Those proxies can't possibly match up to the gods." Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly. "Soon, they'll bring a group of proxies to the location of the King's Treasury. I have to get there before them and take the treasury."
"You're going to compete with those two gods for the King's Treasury? Isn't that too risky?"
"That treasury is extremely important to me. It absolutely cannot fall into anyone else's hands." Lin Qiye turned to look at He Lin. "There's a divine turtle guarding the King's Treasury. It's too dangerous over there. I'll go alone. Help me deliver a message to Jinian—if I'm trapped inside the treasury, I might need her to come to my rescue."
"Understood." He Lin nodded.
Lin Qiye opened the submarine's hatch and summoned Hongyan. The flapping of its wings stirred up massive waves on the sea's surface, and in a whistling gust, it soared into the clouds.
The howling cold wind brushed past Lin Qiye's ears. He stared at the boundless sea and mist, his expression grave.
Although he had seen through the intentions of No. 03 and No. 04 in advance and used those proxies to obstruct them, gods were still gods. They held clues to the King's Treasury, and catching up to Lin Qiye was merely a matter of time.
From their current position to the red circle drawn by No. 22, even riding a dragon would take nearly eight hours.
Too long. Too risky.
The only solution was the 【Somersault Cloud】.
Lin Qiye had calculated that with the 【Somersault Cloud】's speed, he could compress the time to two hours—enough to arrive at the red circle before the two gods. But to do this, he would have to transform back into his true form.
They had already traveled this far from the gathering area, and all the proxies were being held back by No. 03 and No. 04... There shouldn't be any unexpected problems, right?
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before waving his hand to dispel the transformation magic, temporarily reverting to his true form.
A wisp of cloud materialized from nothingness, bearing his body. Just as he was about to fly into the distance, a low voice rang out from the void:
"So, you're the dual-god proxy they're looking for."
Lin Qiye's pupils constricted!
He猛地抬起头，不知何时，一个披着黑色斗篷的身影，正静静屹立在他头顶的虚无。
在那斗篷的兜帽之上，清晰的勾勒着两个数字：
——27。
混入代理人聚会的，第三位神明。
糟了……忘了这家伙！
由于03号与04号的目的也是King's Treasury，与他们两个相比，一直专注于找人的27号就显得有些不起眼。
可他不明白，27号为什么会盯上自己？
难道找人只是他用来伪装的手段，他的真实目的，也是King's Treasury？或者……他的目标本来就是自己？
就在Lin Qiye大脑急速思索的时候，27号缓缓开口：
"放心，什么双神代理人，什么King's Treasury……我一点都不感兴趣，你究竟是谁，为什么要愚弄那些代理人，我也不在乎。
我在你身上留下印记，一路追寻过来，是为了和你进行一场交易。"
27号抬起手，指尖夹着一枚写有"33"的银币，熠熠生辉。
"交易？"
Lin Qiye看着那枚银币，眉头微皱，"什么交易？"
"你不是会预言吗？我要你帮我找个人。"
"……Chloe？"Lin Qiye回想起聚会过程中27号的提问，试探性问道。
"没错。"
27号注视着Lin Qiye，那双眼眸好似黑夜中的火炬，在熊熊燃烧。
Lin Qiye犹豫片刻，长叹一口气，"抱歉，我虽然是预言与魔法之神的代理人，但其实并不会预言术……再说，你自己身为神明，在这世界上要找一个人，应该比我简单的多。"
听到Lin Qiye的回答，27号双眸微眯。
"你能看出，我是神？"27号的声音有些诧异，又有些惊喜，"我身上披着的这件神衣，是一件专门遮掩气息的神器，别说你只是个人类，就算是一般的神明，都不可能看出我的身份……你还说自己不会预言？"
Lin Qiye：……
"我，我这不是预言……"
Lin Qiye试图解释，但又不能透露Asylum of the Gods以及猴哥的存在，一时之间竟然无法反驳。
"我能理解，你不想卷入神明间的旋涡，但我既然说了这是一场交易，就少不了你的好处。"27号停顿片刻，缓缓开口：
"作为帮我找人的交换，我可以帮你杀一个人……或者，一位神。"
Lin Qiye愣在原地。
"帮我杀一位神？"他狐疑的开口，"什么神都行？"
"至高以下，都可以。"
Lin Qiye仔细打量着眼前这个笼罩在斗篷阴影中的身影，陷入沉思。
至高以下，都能杀……这口气是真不小。
难道，这件斗篷之下，是一位来历大到惊人的Chief God？
"请问，您是……？"他试探性的问道。
27号陷入沉默。
过了许久，他缓缓抬头，宽大的帽檐之下，笼罩在阴影中的双眸，满是复杂与无奈。
"我只是一个无人知晓的神，我所在的神系，早在无数岁月前就遗落在了时光之中……我，是这个神系最后的神明。
你不需要知道我的名字，
你可以叫我……27号。"
27号？
哪有神这么称呼自己的？
Lin Qiye脸上的疑惑之色越发浓郁。
似乎是察觉到Lin Qiye的疑虑，27号主动开口："你或许会觉得我不可信……既然这样，我可以先帮你杀一位神，杀完之后，我提着他的头颅来找你，你再带我去找到Chloe。
这个交易，你愿意吗？"
"先杀神，再找人？"Lin Qiye诧异开口，"你就不怕我直接跑了？"
"你身上有我留下的印记，是跑不了的，就算把你搓成灰吹散在风里，我都能找到你。"27号平静说道。
Lin Qiye嘴角一抽，认真的思索起来。
预言，Lin Qiye确实是一窍不通，但找人……或许只要一个"奇迹"。
如果真如27号所说，用找人来换一位神明死亡，那这个交易对Lin Qiye而言，绝对是稳赚不赔。
Lin Qiye沉思许久，郑重的点头，"好，我接受这笔交易。"
27号帽檐下的嘴角，勾起一抹笑容。
他屈指一弹，那枚银币抛过天空，落在Lin Qiye的掌间。
"告诉我一个名字。"27号淡淡开口。
Lin Qiye深吸一口气：
"……诡计之神，Loki。"
