Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

Lin Qiye left the mental hospital and stretched wearily.

He spent nearly six hours trying to persuade Wu Laogou to agree to return to Beijing, but to no avail.

Wu Laogou was like an extremely stubborn old man who wanted to die in a fasting place, even if it meant dying.

But Lin Qiye didn't blame him; in fact, he somewhat understood Wu Laogou's thoughts.

Putting himself in Su Yan's shoes, if that day ever came and Su Yan told him that as long as he stayed in the fasting place for the rest of his life and never came out, there would never be any accidents in [Nightfall], he would definitely do it without hesitation and without a single complaint.

After calming his throbbing head, Lin Qiye followed the path to the playground where people were exercising. Su Yan was sitting under the shade of a tree, setting up a small stall.

There were paper and pens on the table, as well as a pink piggy bank.

A long, winding line formed on the playground, with people standing in front of tables to participate in the registration process.

"What is your forbidden ruins?"

Su Yan slowly raised her head, her gaze settling on the skinny young man grinning sheepishly in front of her. A blurry image seemed to flash through Su Yan's mind, and she felt as if she had some recollection of him.

"It's been a long time, sir! You've become even more handsome! My Forbidden Realm is that of a Locksmith, and there's no lock in the world I can't open!" the young man replied proudly, then quickly nodded and bowed, adopting a fawning posture.

You have no choice but to back down. This guy was a ruthless man who used to smash people with the Zhenxu Stele in the fasting camp. The prisoners who died at his hands were nothing but minced meat!

"Oh, I remember now."

Su Yan suddenly realized that when the Ramadan rioted, the alloy walls on the front were impossible to break through in a short time.

One prisoner's ability is "Security Door," which allows him to conjure two security doors within a 20-meter radius. Once he enters one of the doors, he will emerge from the other, achieving instantaneous teleportation.

However, the security door was too secure, and he couldn't open it himself.

It was thanks to this locksmith that they formed a golden partnership, leading the thugs to break through seven lines of defense of the Night's Watch.

"Where's your golden partner? Didn't they come with you?" Su Yan looked behind him.

"Sir, don't bother looking anymore. You smashed him to death with your dragon strike, haha." The locksmith laughed heartily.

“…That’s a real shame.” Su Yan scratched his head, handing him the pink piggy bank as he asked curiously, “Logically speaking, your forbidden area isn’t that threatening. At most, it’s just a burglary, which should be the responsibility of the security team, right? So why were you locked up in the fasting center?”

"Ding."

The locksmith shook the piggy bank, and a silver coin fell into it. The front of the coin had a key drawn on it, and the back had the ancient seal script character "钥" (yào).

"My lord, you don't know this, but I don't usually like to steal. I only go to rich people's houses to steal a little something when I'm really short of money. But one night..."

The locksmith's eyes were expectant as he spoke, his gaze fixed on the cigarettes on the table.

Cigarettes are the most valuable form of currency in fasting monasteries!

Su Yan handed him three packs of cigarettes as payment for one Forbidden Ruins Coin, the same for everyone.

The locksmith excitedly put away his cigarette and continued vividly, "One night, after scouting the place beforehand, I sneaked into a house in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, while I was stealing money in the dark, the living room light suddenly came on. Damn it, the lady of the house had unexpectedly returned! She brought her three-year-old son and five-year-old daughter. The three of them stood at the door and screamed 'Agh!' My heart skipped a beat, my mind went blank, and I gritted my teeth..."

"You killed them all?!" Su Yan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Huh? No way, even thieves have their code of honor. I only steal things, I never hurt people... I gritted my teeth and jumped from the tenth floor, breaking two ribs in the process!"

"Then I just ran and ran and ran until I couldn't run anymore. But then I heard sirens behind me. I was in despair when, hey, guess what I saw?"

"What do you see?" Lin Qiye approached, his face full of curiosity.

Su Yan was also concentrating intently, holding her breath slightly.

"A rice dumpling delivery scooter, all alone, parked in front of a restaurant!" The locksmith rubbed his nose, his voice tinged with excitement and pride.

"I seized the opportunity and, without saying a word, stepped forward and used my skills. With a 'snap,' the lock opened, I jumped on the bike, and twisted the throttle hard. This electric bike is superb in performance, and the speed increased instantly. The wind was whistling in my ears, and I managed to ride more than 300 miles per hour, leaving the security team far behind, leaving them chasing after me with a bewildered look on their faces."

Recalling the lightning speed of those early days, the locksmith sighed with lingering satisfaction and said:

"I really loved this electric scooter, but unfortunately my identity had already been exposed, and I couldn't leave any trace of it. In the end, I found a dry toilet in the village and, with a heavy heart, threw the scooter in to destroy the stolen goods!"

"Then the next day, the Night's Watch came and ruthlessly dragged me into the fasting quarters, sentencing me to seven years! They even came up with a lame excuse, saying it was because I was delaying their capture of Loki? But I think those are just excuses; I was just being targeted by capital..."

The locksmith started talking non-stop.

Su Yan and Lin Qiye were already stunned on the spot, both with the same bewildered expression, looking at him as if he were a god, and remained silent for a long time.

"...I have a vague feeling that I still have some athletic talent. If they hadn't deliberately targeted me, perhaps I would already be a professional race car driver, chasing my dreams on the track."

The locksmith gazed at the sky, pursed his lips, and a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and exclaimed excitedly:

"By the way, I remember that restaurant was called 'Third Uncle's Local Cuisine Restaurant.' I definitely have to go and try it after I get out of prison. What's it like? People are ordering takeout in the middle of the night?"

Su Yan:......

Lin Qiye: ...

After seeing the locksmith off, Su Yan and Lin Qiye remained silent for a while before they recovered.

Su Yan gently shook the piggy bank, and with a crisp sound, the item marked "Locksmith" slowly slid into her palm.

He carefully placed it aside and remarked, "I won't melt this one down. Such an extraordinary person is truly rare. I'll keep it as a memento... Perhaps giving it to Senior Lu Wuwei in the future would be a good choice?"

"Please, have some decency." Lin Qiye's lips twitched. He pulled up a stool and sat down next to Su Yan, gazing at the winding queue, and asked:

"So, how many have you collected?"

"More than eight hundred, but only three hundred can be smelted. Most of the forbidden ruins are too weak to be used."

"How long would it take to collect 10,000?"
