Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

These two spikes put immense pressure on Ueno Chiki, who felt like a small fishing boat in a raging storm, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

Those two spikes were like two invisible giant fingers, tightly gripping his throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He could only draw power from the evil eye to resist this terrifying attack.

Each time he drew upon power, he felt weak and exhausted, but he knew he couldn't stop, or death would be his only fate.

However, as time slowly passed, he felt that the power in the Evil Eye was drying up. If he continued to use the Evil Eye, his body would not be able to withstand the pressure and would eventually collapse.

Ueno Chiki shouted, "Nashida, wake up the traveler! I can't hold on much longer!"

However, Dotole would not let him have his way. He smiled coldly, flicked his finger, and suddenly several huge ice pillars appeared in the space, like a cage, firmly trapping Nasita inside.

Dotole glanced at the trapped Narcida, then turned to look at Ueno Chiki, a hint of regret on his face. "Oppenheimer, to be honest, I'm a little reluctant to kill you. You were such a good experimental subject! What a pity!" His tone was full of regret and reluctance.

Ueno Chiki suddenly smiled easily. "Dottore, have you ever heard a saying?"

Dotole frowned slightly. "What did you say?"

"Villains die from talking too much!"

When Tottore heard Ueno Chiki's words, alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Yingmei, who had been lying on the ground, only to find that she had disappeared without a trace.

An ominous premonition washed over him, and he tried to react, but it was too late.

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. Dotore's eyes widened as he saw Yingmei appear behind him, clutching the Sword of Dawn tightly in her hand.

The sword flashed with a cold light and pierced his heart with lightning speed.

Dotore looked down at the sword that had pierced his heart, unable to believe it for a moment.

He considered himself the world's top schemer, adept at manipulating others, yet this time he was utterly outmaneuvered by that despicable codename 9527.

His every move seemed to be calculated by his opponent, each move meticulously planned, leaving him utterly powerless to retaliate.

Yingmei coldly drew her longsword, and red blood gushed from Dotole's chest, flowing onto the ground.

Due to excessive blood loss, Dotole's face was ashen, and the spike he had been controlling fell limply to the ground.

However, just as he was struggling on the verge of death, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He clapped his hands lightly. "That was brilliant! Code name 9527, you are the first human in the world to be able to outwit me! But you should know one thing: I have many slices!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a chilling voice suddenly echoed in the hall: "Ah, what a disgrace! As one of my slices, you're utterly useless! Just like that piece of trash Scaramchi!"

The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Chapter 156 Goodbye Colombia

"Hahaha, you've always proclaimed yourself the most powerful and selfish slice, yet you've been betrayed to this extent. How pathetic!" A slightly mocking voice echoed in the hall.

As the voice faded, another "Dotore" entered. Compared to the severely injured Dotore, this one looked younger and more insane.

Ueno Chiki, Yingmei, and Nasita immediately looked warily at the young Dotole slice.

The heavily wounded Dotore coldly shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, kill them and take the Heart of God."

The young Dottore Slice did not attack immediately, but looked at the heavily injured Dottore with interest. "Tell me, if I kill you, wouldn't I become the most powerful and selfish slice? You are so powerful, you are the best material for the experiment."

These words sent chills down the spines of Ueno Chiki and the others. The fact that even they wanted to use themselves as experimental subjects made Dotole's madness and perversion terrifying.

Despite his severe injuries, Dottore seemed to have anticipated this and showed little surprise. He calmly replied, "You are a fragment of me, so you should know my true situation. Although I am seriously injured, escaping is not a problem. What we need to do now is seize the Heart of God, otherwise our experimental funding will be cut."

The young Dotore, looking utterly disappointed, then glared angrily at Ueno Chiki and Haruka, demanding, "Why? Why are you so weak? Why couldn't you just kill this guy?"

At the same time, two silver spikes rose again, hurtling towards Ueno Chiki with terrifying force.

Ueno Chiki dared not be careless and quickly used the Evil Eye again, forming an ice shield once more to block the spike attack.

"Do you know why that idiot got ambushed?" the young Dotore slice said with a smile.

Then, he flashed and suddenly appeared behind Ueno Chiki, "because this idiot wasn't ruthless enough."

A cold dagger sliced ​​through the air, its sharp killing intent driving it fiercely into Ueno Chiki's back.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and Ueno Chiki clearly felt death approaching. His eyes widened, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he still overlooked one crucial detail.

In the original storyline, Dhotore had two separate entities operating in Sumeru City. One of them, to avoid detection, left Sumeru in full view of everyone. However, Dhotore's current entity has not left Sumeru, causing his originally perfect plan to fail at the most crucial moment.

Chiki Ueno closed her eyes, quietly awaiting death. This time, there was truly no escape.

At that moment, several faces appeared in his mind, and his heart was filled with guilt and longing.

After a long time, the death that Ueno Chiki had foreseen did not come as expected. He opened his eyes in confusion, only to find that he was still unharmed.

He saw Columbia, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, standing gracefully in front of him, her left hand outstretched, a pure and transparent shield covering him and blocking Dotore's fatal blow.

The young Dotole sliced ​​his eyes with hatred, and said through gritted teeth, "Columbia, you're interfering in my affairs again?"

Columbia merely glanced at him indifferently, without speaking to him. She turned gracefully and walked towards the injured Dotole. Pointing at Ueno Chiki, she calmly said, "He's my man. You've made a mistake."

Young Dotole, enraged that she ignored him, roared and sent two silver spikes hurtling towards Colombia like lightning.

At the same time, he himself launched a fierce attack with a dagger in hand.

"Watch out!" Ueno Chiki immediately warned.

Colombia didn't move at all, as if she hadn't reacted, and stood there stunned.

Ueno Chiki was extremely anxious. Why did Columbia suddenly go off track at such a crucial moment?

A cruel smile crept across the young Dotore's lips; he was about to hear the exquisite sound of the dagger slicing through that pure, jade-like throat.

However, the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Just as he was about to succeed, he was frozen solid by a powerful ice element, turning into an ice block.

The injured Dotore's face turned extremely ugly. "Damn stupid thing!"

“Dottore, you not only attacked my people, but you attacked me too. This is not what Her Majesty the Queen wanted to see.” Columbia’s voice was light and melodious.

However, Dottore found it extremely grating. Although he was the second-in-command of the Fools, the Ice Queen greatly favored the third-in-command, Columbia. If Columbia reported the matter to Her Majesty the Queen, he would certainly be severely reprimanded, and the resources allocated to him would be greatly reduced.

He forced a smile. "Columbia, you're joking. How could I possibly lay a hand on you? It was all a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding?" Columbia asked back.

“It’s a misunderstanding. Look at that idiot.” Dotore pointed to the frozen slice of young Dotore.

Colombia looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that, with a "bang," the young Dotore slice exploded.

The ground was covered with shattered flesh and ice shards, a scene that was extremely bloody and disgusting.

Ueno Chiki and Yingmei were splattered with blood, and even an eyeball rolled to their feet, causing them to vomit on the spot.

"Columbia, are you satisfied now? Goodbye!"

After a brief recovery, Dotole's injuries had healed somewhat. He now understood perfectly well that with Columbia present, he had no chance of obtaining the Heart of God. Therefore, he decided to stop pursuing the matter.

Then, he gave Ueno Chiki a cold look; all his heavy losses today were because of this man.

"Code name 9527, I will remember everything that happened today!" His voice was filled with resentment and threat.

After saying this, Dotore suddenly vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

Ueno Chiki felt a chill run down her spine. Being targeted by Dotole was no good!

Dotole is a treacherous and cunning viper who is adept at hiding in the shadows and tearing his prey apart with his deadly fangs, causing them to die in the most painful way.

Chapter 157 The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The early summer sun gently bathed every corner of the shrine, turning everything golden.

The once magnificent cherry blossoms, as lush as a sea of ​​clouds, have lost their splendor. With the cool mountain breeze, the pink petals dance in the air, like fairies, gently drifting down to the ground and forming a thick carpet of flowers.

The beautiful shrine maiden, Inashiro Hotaru, wore a white shrine maiden outfit, and her face appeared exceptionally soft in the sunlight.

She picked up the broom and began her day's cleaning work. The fallen petals were beautiful, but if they weren't swept up in time, they would make the shrine's paths slippery.

When Inashiro Hotaru arrived at Yae no Miko's house, she gently knocked on the door, her sweet voice echoing in the air, "Yae no Miko, I've come to clean the room."

However, there was no response from inside the room. Inashiro Hotaru knocked on the door again, her voice slightly louder, "Lord Yae, I've come to clean the room."

"Little Daocheng, so early? Come in!" Yae no Miko's sleepy voice finally came from inside the room.

Inashiro Hotaru pushed open the door and found Yae no Miko lying on the floor, yawning and looking like she hadn't woken up yet. Beside her was an open novel, its pages turning gently in the breeze.

"Mr. Yachō, you shouldn't stay up all night reading novels anymore. It's bad for your health!" Inashiro Hotaru said softly.

"I didn't stay up all night reading novels; I fell asleep before dawn."

A sly smile played on Yae no Miko's lips, seemingly quite satisfied with her explanation. Looking at Inashiro Hotaru's speechless expression, she couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

After cleaning, Inashiro Hotaru quietly left the room without saying anything more.

Yae no Miko watched her departing figure and gently shook her head. Since becoming pregnant, her body had indeed undergone significant changes.

She used to be able to stay up for several nights in a row reading novels, but now, as soon as it gets past midnight, her eyelids start to droop and she gets sleepy, making it impossible for her to continue reading.

It's all that bastard Chiki Ueno's fault!

She recalled the erotic scene from that night, and a blush crept onto her pretty face.

After cursing Ueno Chiki under her breath, she began reading the novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" that she hadn't finished the night before.

Soon, she became immersed in the story.

Just then, the door was suddenly pulled open.

Yae no Miko looked up and saw that Lei Yingdian, who was usually elegant, was carrying a dish in a somewhat disheveled state. However, the dish was a dark mess, and it was impossible to tell what the ingredients were.

Yae no Miko looked at Lei Yingdian with a mocking expression, "Ying, are you trying to harm me and my child?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yingdian immediately showed an embarrassed and angry expression. "How is it plotting against you? I've already tasted this ginseng chicken. Although it's a little burnt, it won't kill you. You really need to replenish your nutrition right now, you can't just eat fried tofu."

Yae no Miko examined them carefully, but she couldn't recognize the ginseng and black-boned chicken from any angle.

Although she was grateful for Ying's concern, she decided to decline for the sake of her child's health. "Ying, let's forget about it!"

"Divine Child, at least try it. I even burned down the castle tower's kitchen to cook this dish." Lei Yingdian's face showed a pained expression.
