Chapter 60: It's on Fire! [This is the first of three chapters.]
"Big brother, what should I do?"
Seeing Lin Ye looking at him with a face full of surprise, as if he had discovered an even more anticipated target, Crow was so sweaty that he almost blew out of his pants.
What's wrong? Not satisfied with the torture yet? Planning to start another round?
Crow felt a chill run down his spine and immediately sought help from Genjiro. After all, as the chief strategist of the Japanese branch, he had contributed greatly to the branch's growth over the years, and his boss couldn't just stand by and watch him get humiliated!
Especially when he saw Lin Ye excitedly waving at him, signaling him to come over, Crow looked at the only hope beside him. At this moment, the only one who could save him was his own boss.
However, the latter frowned and glanced at him.
In an instant, the crow felt a chill in its heart.
The meaning conveyed in Yuan Zhisheng's eyes was all too clear: 'Why aren't you going over there yet? Don't keep my brother-in-law waiting, or you know what will happen.'
The crow felt a deep sadness; indeed, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.
All these years, I, Raven, have worked tirelessly day and night for the Japanese branch, devoted myself to the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and even sacrificed my precious youth for you, Genjiro. And in the end... this is it?
Even when the crow went to play with Tamamo-no-Mae, it would think about which targets were more suitable for its boss, Genjiro, and then secretly write them down in a small notebook.
After all, as the young master of the family, the eldest son is destined to inherit the entire Snake Clan. How can such a huge industry not have descendants to inherit it? Moreover, they must be outstanding descendants. Not only Tamamo-no-Mae, but from the family business down to the Snake Clan up, as long as there are good women, the crow will keep a close eye on them, the more the better.
But what happened...? He was so sincere, thinking he had moved heaven and earth, but little did he know he had only moved himself.
For a moment, the crow was filled with inner turmoil, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned.
Seeing that his friend hadn't moved, Yaksha immediately scolded him in a low voice, "Crow, Lord Lin Ye wants you to go over there, what are you standing there for!"
Yaksha meant well and was afraid of offending Lin Ye, so he hurriedly reminded Crow.
Upon hearing this, the latter became even more indignant.
"Yaksha, we've been brothers for a while now, how can you be so heartless and ungrateful? If I go there now, wouldn't I be jumping into a fire pit? I'm still so delicate."
"Why would you jump into a fire pit? What nonsense are you thinking? If you're not going, I'll go!"
Yaksha shoved the crow aside while cursing, then jogged towards Lin Ye's direction, appearing very eager.
To the crow, this scene was just like his good brother Yaksha sacrificing himself for him, and the crow was on the verge of tears.
"Lord Lin Ye, is there any assistance you require?"
Yaksha excitedly approached Lin Ye, her rugged face showing a hint of shyness, like a fangirl meeting her idol.
"Could you get me some gasoline?"
Lin Ye smiled like a boy next door.
He had a sudden inspiration: if the cruciform skeleton of the nobleman were burned, it would have an even greater artistic quality, and could even perfectly elevate this masterpiece.
However, he worried that if the skeleton were ignited directly, it might not burn completely, inevitably leaving some regrets.
If flammable materials like gasoline were used as an aid, the artistic effect would be 100% enhanced.
"Alright, alright, Lord Lin Ye, I'll go get you two buckets right away." Yaksha agreed eagerly.
The area around Chidorigafuchi is filled with the convoys of the Snake Clan, so they should be able to extract two barrels of gasoline. What, you say there's no extraction pipe or gasoline barrel? Is that a problem? Just dismantle the entire fuel tank.
In Yasha's view, any car other than the Hummer belonging to the boss, Genjiro, could be dismantled.
Moreover, judging from the boss's previous attitude towards Lin Ye, he even called him his brother-in-law. He probably wouldn't feel bad even if his own Hummer was dismantled.
Yaksha was full of energy and turned around to get some gasoline.
"No need, Yaksha. Just take out the weapon you always carry with you. That's the most suitable weapon right now."
Yuan Zhisheng walked over and offered a reminder.
"The most suitable weapon?"
Yaksha paused for a moment, scratched his head, and looked puzzled.
"Yaksha, it's that one!"
A crow, standing to the side, suddenly produced a very spiritual melody.
"Which one? Wait... I understand!"
Seeing his good brother's constant hints, Yaksha's confusion instantly turned into understanding, and he realized what was going on.
But the next moment she became embarrassed.
"Boss, I know I've always been really good, but... do we really have to use it now?" Yaksha asked hesitantly.
Genji's forehead was covered in black lines as he watched.
Although Yaksha didn't finish his sentence, anyone could tell what he was thinking.
"It's a rocket launcher! You always carry one with you!" Crow was on the verge of a breakdown.
He felt that if they had spoken any later, even if the devil Lin Ye didn't make a move, the boss Yuan Zhisheng might have already lost control of his sword.
"You should have said so earlier! I thought it was some kind of weirdo!"
Yaksha slapped his forehead, realizing he had been overthinking things.
He quickly lifted his trench coat and took out the ferocious thing hidden inside.
It was a jet-black rocket launcher, usually hidden inside the lining of a dark trench coat, making it very difficult to spot. This was Yasha's ever-present weapon, which he even carried while sleeping.
Every time the crow rested with the yaksha, it was always trembling with fear, afraid that one day the yaksha would blow it up in its sleep with a cannon shot.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lin Ye, please feel free to use it."
Yaksha was ashamed. He only knew that Lin Ye had asked him to find some gasoline, so he single-mindedly went to find gasoline, even if it meant dismantling the fuel tank. He didn't think about anything else, such as why Lin Ye needed gasoline.
"Thank you."
Lin Ye politely accepted the rocket launcher.
"It's a modified version of the PAG-7 rocket launcher. The warhead is an incendiary round that has been reinforced by the Snake Clan. It's filled with high-strength mercury, which continuously corrodes the target's body and causes severe corrosion when it burns, until the target is completely burned to ashes before it goes out," Genji explained from the side.
"That would be awesome."
Lin Ye's face was full of anticipation.
He turned his head to look at the girl beside him, "Eri, don't blink later, okay? The next shot is the ultimate brilliance."
"Um!"
Erii nodded her head excitedly, just as eagerly anticipating the moment.
Holding a rocket launcher, Lin Ye aimed the muzzle at the Gongqing man, who was now almost nothing but a cross-shaped skeleton, and couldn't help but laugh: "How can this wonderful performance be complete without screams and sound effects? You bastard, let's get this party started!"
After saying that, Lin Ye suddenly pulled the trigger.
No response.
Click, then click again, and it's the same.
Lin Ye pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher several times, but the incendiary bomb failed to fire.
The scene fell silent, with only the howling wind breaking the silence, creating an awkward atmosphere.
“Um, Lord Lin Ye, you need to remove the safety pin at the front of the rocket launcher first… Yes, yes, that little iron rod,” Yaksha couldn’t help but remind him.
"Oh, I see." Lin Ye scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
Seeing the boy's embarrassed expression, everyone present couldn't help but smile. It wasn't out of mockery, but because they felt that the boy, who had been like a demon just a moment ago, was actually quite cute at this moment.
However, the smiles on their lips froze the next moment.
A sharp, rhythmic clicking sound rang out.
Lin Ye's expression suddenly turned cold. He quickly pulled out the safety pin at the front, held the rocket launcher in one hand, and pointed the muzzle directly at the cross-shaped skeleton of the nobleman in front of him.
The entire sequence of movements was fluid and graceful, both cold and sassy, before the trigger was pulled.
Chapter 61 The Oath Beneath the Cross Skeleton [Second Update]
Rumble!
The rumbling thunder deep in the clouds was suppressed by the roar of artillery shells at that moment.
The incendiary bomb shot out from the muzzle in an instant, like a dazzling meteor, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the cruciform skeleton of the nobleman.
With a loud bang, the half-skeleton remains of the nobleman, which had been pinned down, took the full force of the blow. His body was thrown backward, and pale white flames instantly enveloped his entire body.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream erupted once again from the mouths of the nobles.
The voice was hoarse and strained, revealing a hysterical breakdown.
The pale white flames, like the long tongue of a monster, kept licking the cross-shaped skeleton that the nobleman had transformed into, licking it again and again. The skeleton was shrinking at a visible speed, looking more refined, truly like a masterpiece of art burning in the flames.
"Tsk tsk, this is more like it."
Lin Ye looked at his masterpiece and only felt satisfied at this moment.
He took Erii's small hand and led her closer to the burning skeleton, then solemnly began to recount his experience in creating this masterpiece of a cross.
“Eri, look! I’ve cut the guy who hurt you into a cross skeleton. In the Bible, this shape represents the suffering Jesus. The Bible says that people are born with sin, and Jesus willingly died on the cross, shedding his own blood to cleanse the sins of the world, thus bringing about the redemption of mankind.”
"I will also sculpt the nobleman in this style, so that this evil spirit will never bother you again. Even if this guy really is persistent, don't be afraid. Every time he comes out, Lin Ye will burn him once; every ten times he comes out, I will burn him ten times. If he keeps coming out, I, Lin Ye, will make sure he is never free for all eternity."
The intense firelight illuminated the boy's face, making it appear exceptionally resolute. Just moments before, his face had been as terrifying as a demon, but now, facing his beloved girl, it was filled with deep affection that made him irresistibly captivating.
"Lin Ye..."
Erii called out softly, her eyes brimming with tears.
She reached out her hand tremblingly and stroked the boy's face as if she were touching the most precious thing in the world.
Lin Ye also held Erii's small hand tightly.
He would never forget that in the isolation chamber of Genji Heavy Industries, when he was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, it was this girl who stayed by his side. Every time he woke up, this girl would snuggle into his arms. In her sleep, her cherry lips were always tightly pursed, as if afraid that she would call out the name in her heart in her sleep.
Only in such moments of extreme weakness do they dare to call out softly and tenderly.
She was calling out to Lin Ye...
