Fooling Tomoko into being a system

"Put your shoes back!" Li Lin sat down on the ground, took off the moccasins he exchanged with the Arc Warlock, and handed the Arc Warlock's boots, which were obviously one size smaller.

The sneakers Li Lin wore would be exposed at a glance. In order to prevent his identity from being revealed by the cultists, he had to exchange boots with the arc warlock when he put on the cultist's black robe. Walking in small shoes was simply torture.

The arc warlock watched Li Lin put on his shoes, and suppressed a smile when he thought of his awkward walking posture just now.

Then the two of them changed back to their shoes, and the arc warlock returned his schoolbag to Li Lin.

"To be honest, pretending to be like this is already the limit. Even then, I almost got my identity revealed. If the arc warlock hadn't made some noise behind me, the sneak attack might not have been successful."

The arc warlock could only admit: "It's really not easy to disguise yourself as a cultist and break into the interior."

Li Lin looked at the depressed Priestess and Arc Warlock.

"The next step is to figure out how to destroy the cultists' sacrificial ceremony!"

Priestess couldn't bear to say: "Is it really necessary to attract a swarm of insects to attack the sacrificial ceremony? But in this way, the hostages inside..."

Li Lin rummaged through his schoolbag, "I have a plan that will be cruel to both the enemy and us."

The arc warlock looked at the twisted and twitching cheeks on Li Lin's face, and his heart skipped a beat.

------

The empty circular cave is brightly lit, with torches stuck diagonally every five meters on the wall.

Four bonfires were burning brightly, and cultists were constantly adding firewood.

Several charred corpses could be seen among the burning bonfires.

The cultists knelt on the ground in a circle, raised their hands in the air, and chanted words. Mysterious, weird, and absurd language kept popping out of their mouths, and they were absorbed by the sacrificial ceremony.

Among the cultists who formed a circle, there was a huge magic circle set up with mithril, blood, viscera, complex, intertwined, and gorgeous. The scarlet magic circle flickered and disappeared with the prayers of the cultists, creating an unstable magic ritual. As if breathing.

In the center of the Scarlet Magic Ceremony, several unconscious priests lay on their sides, with their hands and feet touching each other in a circle. They were like corpses, with no heartbeat and no breathing. They were used [save] before they could resist.

At the center of the sacrifices was the leader of the cultists. His eyes kept moving back and forth over the bonfire, cultists, magic rituals, and sacrifices, making sure they were in order.

The current ritual is not stable enough and needs more blood.

"Today, the great true God will come to the world in all directions to drive away the evil gods and take back everything. We welcome the true God to bask in glory and enjoy eternal happiness..."

The cult leader's voice was loud and echoed throughout the cave. The cultists were mesmerized by the sound, and their bodies shook involuntarily. Everyone did not hesitate to take out a knife from their waist and cut off their wrists, then turned their arms to let go. Blood is spilled in scarlet magic rituals.

When the magic ritual comes into contact with the blood of willing believers, the scarlet light becomes more and more dazzling. The light that lights up and goes out gradually stabilizes. The light lasts for a long time and the time it goes out is short. All the cultists who see this scene are ecstatic!Shout!Pious!pray!

Seeing this scene, the leader of the cult nodded with satisfaction, looked down at the circle of priest sacrifices at his feet, and laughed wildly, "Hahahahahaha——"

Bang-!

Sparks flashed, and ethereal gunshots resounded through the cave. The bullets dragged the sparks and broke through the sky!

It was shot into the central dome of the circular cave at an angle of 45 degrees. The hollow bullet hit the dome and was shattered into pieces. Under the huge impact, the brass sheet bloomed like a flower, blooming into its bright and gorgeous glass hollow beads, shattered, and scattered the morning green leaves. Dew drops.

The cultists in the ceremony were frightened by the sudden gunshots, and the newly stabilized magic ceremony dimmed again.

The cult leader waved his hand and shouted, "Don't stop! Keep going!!"

The cultists looked around, as if nothing had happened, lowered their heads and prayed louder and more devoutly!

Magical rituals glow scarlet.

"You, you, and you, go to the source of the sound and kill the intruding adventurers!"

The leader of the cult pointed out several cultists, and the alleged cultists became angry. They stopped praying, bowed and touched their chests, picked up their weapons, and turned away.

The Arc Warlock's heart was beating wildly, and emotions such as nervousness and uneasiness appeared on his face. He stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at Li Lin, "Is this the plan you said?"

"Uh-huh!" Li Lin cried sadly and threw a mask to each of the Arc Warlock and Priestess, "I hope it will be of some use."

"The cultist is here, why are you giving me a mask?" The arc warlock pointed at the cultist and growled at Li Lin.

Li Lin said in a serious tone, "Bring it on!"

The Arc Warlock pursed his lips and watched the Priestess silently put on her mask, holding the flail in her hand in preparation for battle. Without saying anything, she imitated Li Lin and put on her mask.

Li Lin's voice became thicker through the mask, "I used ethyl mercaptan No. 4 bullets. Damn me, I actually used this thing. But in order to ensure that the ceremony is completely stopped, it is the safest."

Seeing Li Lin's troubled and regretful expression, the arc warlock's eyes widened. Could this strange naming method be an alien prop?

"This ethyl mercaptan No. 4 bullet is really so powerful that it can stop the sacrificial ceremony? This kind of sacrificial ceremony usually cannot be stopped once it starts."

Li Lin showed a sad smile and said something irrelevant, "How is the ventilation here?"

Then several wedding/celebration smoke balls were thrown, and thick smoke of various colors including blue, yellow, purple, and black emerged from the small white balls.

The colored smoke quickly enveloped Li Lin and the other three. Li Lin confirmed that the sewer was generally well ventilated by the fact that the colored smoke did not flutter violently.

"Ethyl mercaptan is an organic compound, colorless and transparent, slightly soluble in water. It is 'notorious'. Inhaling a large amount of it can cause respiratory failure, shock and other symptoms. Just a small bottle can stun the entire city!"

The arc warlock's voice suddenly raised an octave: "What? How can there be such a smelly thing in the world? A small bottle can stun the entire city?"

Li Lin nodded sadly, "I'm not kidding. If I hadn't encountered this special situation, I would never use ethyl mercaptan No. 4 bullets in the sewer in my life."

Li Lin silently prayed in his heart, hoping that the hostages would be okay. If a few of them were really stink-ridden to death, he could only use [Time Recall] to resurrect them. Their deaths were within his plan. The value of dead priests as sacrifices would be reduced. , the ceremony also failed to succeed.

Priestess, "Are you kidding me?"

"No kidding! This is the only way we have to ensure that the ritual is interrupted. The odor will attack the respiratory system of the cultists. As long as they don't leave this area, fainting and shock are normal. We just need to stay here and block the cultists inside. That’s it.”

Gollum—

Arc Warlock: "What does number 4 mean?"

Li Lin: "No. 4 means no dilution."

Priestess stretched out her fingers and counted, "Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand..."

Li Lin: "11 fingers."

Arc Warlock: "You're such a devil!"
