Godslayer: A random filename extension?

……

"That's not fair! How can someone parachute in and cut in line? But thankfully, I knew Mr. Lin wasn't the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress."

Lin Linhou's joy at acquiring a mount was naturally shared with Fifth Star Bell by Si Mengqing, who was always eager for a good show.

This instantly made the girl feel nervous, realizing she couldn't wait any longer. Who knew if she hesitated any longer and more unexpected suitors would appear in the future?

[Little sister, just a heads-up, it seems you're also a "parachuted-in" member, right?]

After all, strictly speaking, she and Lin Linhou had only met three times.

But this didn't stop her from driving to the fasting place overnight, since she had no one to pick her up and drop her off.

Fortunately, she did take a driving test recently, although it was just a formality.

The "car" she's driving now is a terrestrial, land, and air-based hovercraft manufactured by the company. It boasts speeds comparable to high-speed trains, a range that can circle the equator two and a half times, and is fully autonomous.

In terms of safety, it's beyond question; it's said to be able to withstand RPGs without even scratching the paint.

Of course, it still wouldn't work if it were a more powerful weapon.

……

The next day, as expected, Master Chen arrived early and took Lin Linhou to the fasting place.

And the car was going quite fast; it felt like it just whizzed by, and we arrived in just a few minutes.

When Lin Linhou stepped into this magnificent island prison, he felt his power being suppressed almost instantly, just like when he was ambushed by the three Sea Realm believers.

"This is the effect of the Zhenxu Stone Tablet. Within the prison area, anyone whose strength level has not reached the ceiling will be suppressed to the level of an ordinary person."

"Will this affect you? Do you need me to use special means to help you avoid this effect?"

Lin Linhou shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.

It's good to have suppression, because then you're essentially the same as him enjoying the experience bonus brought by the suppression of cultivation.

"Also, here is the detailed list of prisoners you requested earlier. The deputy warden here will arrange their accommodations and discuss how to handle the prisoners collectively later."

After saying this, Master Chen said he had other things to attend to and left him in his office.

Lin Linhou glanced at the thick stack of documents in his hand, estimating it to be at least a thousand pages long.

Lin Linhou: =_= Hmm...

"Hey hey~ Hey Mengqing, can you do me a little favor?"

?( ?? ? ? ?)?

[...]▼_▼You're so lazy.

Alright, alright, I knew it would be like this. When the teacher waved his hand and took out this huge stack of documents, she had already guessed that Lin Linhou would ask her for help.

[Scanning, analysis, sorting, processing complete.]

[Alright, I've divided all the criminals into five levels according to the severity of their crimes. Just call them out according to the list and then punish them accordingly.]

Si Mengqing opened a separate window and handed the completed personnel list to Lin Linhou.

[Page 1, the most heinous member, it is suggested that he be subjected to slow slicing, absorbing his power until his cultivation level is on the verge of collapse. Related personnel are: ...]

[Page 2, Super Villain, it's recommended to slash him several times, plus inflict Nightmare Onslaught, also absorb his energy until your realm is on the verge of collapse. Related personnel are: ...]

[Page 3, Ordinary villain, no special treatment needed, just absorb his energy with one strike until he's on the verge of falling. Related personnel are: ...]

[Page 4, The Night Watchman in Repentance and Atonement: The model of how instructors treat trainees in a training camp can be absorbed. Related personnel are…]

[On page five, there is no need to draw lessons from those who have not committed any serious offenses but are temporarily detained for observation due to their potential danger to society. The relevant personnel are: ...]

(*°▽°)? "Thank you."

Meanwhile, at another testing ground of the fasting institute, Fifth Star Bell, who was the special advisor for the new equipment, had just finished introducing the various products that had been transported to the institute's director.

“Great! With this equipment, the security of the fasting place will be greatly improved.”

After all, even though there is the Zhenxu Stele here, and the Master, the pinnacle of humanity, is here to oversee things, who can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen?

Even if everyone is an ordinary person, if the teacher is not around one day, and the prisoners happen to riot, or if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, then some of the equipment in this batch will be very useful.

"Hmm? Okay, okay, I understand..."

After receiving the message through his earpiece, the deputy director could only say that he had other important matters to attend to and needed to excuse himself for a moment.

"Consultant Xing, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Xiao Liu! Arrange for Xing Consultant to have a meal. I need to entertain another important guest."

"I'm so sorry, I might have to excuse myself for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Star Bell hurriedly said no, no, and then asked if the so-called important guest was a Mr. Lin Linhou.

If so, please be sure to bring her along.

Upon hearing this, the deputy director in front of him was first taken aback, and then a little puzzled.

"Advisor Xing, may I ask how you learned of this?"

Logically speaking, only a very small number of internal personnel should have known about Lin Linhou's arrival at the fasting center.

Are the Night's Watch's secrets now so common knowledge that they're known to everyone?

"Regarding this, well... Mr. Lin, he is actually the man I'm pursuing... no, he's my master, yes, my master."

"Well, as for this news, it was my sister-in-law who told me."

Fifth Star Bell hesitated for a moment, then felt that this explanation should be correct.

Besides, that seems to be the truth, doesn't it?

Deputy Director: (ー`′ー)？ What a mess of titles and relationships.

Deputy Director: Your circle is truly chaotic.

Okay, although something still feels off, this explanation is passable.

"Alright, Star Advisor, please follow me."

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the door of Lin Linhou's office and knocked.

"Please come in."

"Hello Mr. Lin, I've heard so much about you. I'm Lu Yang, the deputy director of the fasting center. It's a great honor to meet you."

Director Lü seemed a bit too enthusiastic, immediately shaking hands with a very excited expression.

"Um, Director Lü, hello. And this gentleman is... wait, he looks familiar."

Lin Linhou then turned his gaze to the person following behind the other party, and saw that the other party seemed to be even more excited than Lü Yang when looking at him.

Lin Linhou: ('?') Uh.

Are the people in this prison all so warm and hospitable? Or did I gain such a reputation sometime ago?

"Madam, haven't we met somewhere before?"

Lin Linhou frowned and carefully examined the Fifth Star Bell from head to toe. It looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.

Fifth Star Bell: ?_?……

(っ╥╯﹏╰╥c) No way.

She thought today would be a reunion with an old friend, but you opened the door by asking who your "someone" was.

Actually, it can't be entirely blamed on Lin Linhou. The main reason is that Fifth Star Bell's temperament and appearance have changed too much in the past year.

She was no longer that slightly introverted girl who always wore a school uniform and had her hair down.

She's much more cheerful and outgoing than before, and she's also good at dressing up. Today, she even put on some beautiful makeup.

In addition, more than a year has passed, so Lin Linhou really hasn't been able to connect the person here with Fifth Star Bell from the orphanage.
