Chapter 60 Throwing Shit in a World Where the Pointer Moves

Lei Ye's youth was not happy.

So when he later heard Yu Yu's classmates describe their misfortunes at school, Lei Ye couldn't understand how these people could become so pathetic after only experiencing a few setbacks.

Compared to these people, he seemed to have experienced something even worse, but he never felt that he was innocent.

Was it because he was stronger than them? No, Lei Ye always thought of himself as a quiet, delicate, and sensitive little boy, and no one understood his vulnerability.

So why is his mental health better? After thinking it over, Lei Ye believes there is probably only one reason: during his entire junior high and high school years, a time when most people are most vulnerable and sensitive, he was saved time and time again.

Children, physical problems can be treated, but psychological problems are much harder to repair.

Lei Ye often used this phrase to encourage others, but he had used it to encourage himself thousands of times before he encouraged others. He stood on the altar, looking directly at the goddess statue with melancholy eyes in front of him.

Even if the goddess is dead, if her soul still remains in this world, then she would probably forgive Raino's actions.

After all, nothing could make Raiyo clear-headed and wiser than this. It was the most effective magic and also part of protecting Shillius.

Lei Ye was very happy. In fact, the pressure accumulated from the dangers of the past few days was about to drive him crazy. This time stop unexpectedly gave him a chance to rest properly, like a day of unbridled vacation.

At least that's how it is for Lei Ye. Lei Ye believes that the reason he can remain calm in most critical moments is because he is good at it.

Back then, Lei Ye would always lock the door whenever he was doing something at home.

He locked the door every time, so much so that later, whenever other family members noticed Lei Ye locking the door, they assumed he was smuggling something.

However, sometimes Lei Ye simply locks the door without actually doing anything, but it's assumed that he's actually doing something. Wouldn't locking the door be a huge mistake then?

So later, Raino would always make his moves with the door open and in blind spots.

He knew that if anyone passed by that area near the door and glanced at it, they would have a clear view of what he was doing, making it extremely dangerous. However, as long as no one passed by there, Raino could get things done quietly.

They won't notice.

This is the foundation of Raino's strong heart, and the secret to Raino's ability to always remain calm.

However, this also requires precise micro-management skills.

No headphones allowed, because we need to hear your footsteps.

You should also listen to your own voice and make sure you don't make any sounds that might arouse suspicion.

If he notices any unusual activity, he cannot make a sudden, dramatic move, as that would arouse suspicion. He must remain motionless and respond to any changes with equanimity.

Just like now, Raino also had to remain perfectly still, and he had to listen carefully to what the footsteps behind him were all about.

The footsteps grew closer, and the closer they got, the less Lei Ye moved.

"Oh my god..." Finally, Raino heard the person who approached exclaim softly, his tone as surprised as if he had seen an evil god.

Then, with a thud, he collapsed to the ground as if he had fainted.

Lei Ye breathed a sigh of relief... He secretly glanced back and saw an old nun lying on the ground, her face filled with fear and unease as she fell into a coma.

The long coat that had been standing not far away had fallen softly to the ground at some point. Lei Ye's heart was still pounding. He didn't panic. Instead, he immediately moved closer, wanting to put the coat on as soon as possible. At that moment, he heard a sound of everyone retreating in unison not far away.

Looking up again, I saw several elderly nuns and young nuns standing outside the church doors, along with a few ordinary citizens. They were standing close together, as if they had just returned from a church service.

Haha.

By the way, who are you guys...?

When Lei Ye first arrived at Line 2, he had already confirmed that there were fewer familiar faces in Xilius, but more strangers. He didn't recognize most of these people, but he found the expressions on their faces quite interesting.

Lei Ye glanced at his wristwatch, which showed 8:30. It turned out that half an hour had passed since the time stop ended.

"Ha ha."

That was truly exhilarating.

So what should we do now?

Lei Ye had been worried about what would happen if the time stop suddenly ended. He had already thought about how to explain to the ladies who found themselves having their shoes changed. However, because the time stop lasted for too long, he became more and more unrestrained as time passed. His miscalculation was that he needed too much time, so he gradually forgot about time.

Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep.

Lei Ye lay down on the ground with a thud and remained motionless.

He was truly out of options and had no other choice but to do this.

As expected, the nuns who were just afraid of Lei Ye took the initiative to approach and surround him when they saw him collapse on the ground. Some of them immediately used healing spells on Lei Ye, and some young nuns even poked Lei Ye's body with their courage and then exclaimed.

"His health is terrible, he must be sick, his temperature is so high!"

No, child... your body temperature is also high if you do this.

Lei Ye remained silent, letting the other nuns poke him a few times and conclude that he was a patient.

"This victim has been subjected to terrible things," an elderly nun exclaimed, draping a coat over Raiye. "Quick, get the stretcher."

"OK."

For the first time in her life, Lei Ye ended up on a stretcher, and was carried out by several nuns, who were huffing and puffing.

"You...I...If you've determined I'm sick, shouldn't you have taken me to the sanatorium in the church? Where are you taking me...?"

Rai Ye looked up from the stretcher, but couldn't see Chi Si Ting's face; his view was blocked by the peaks.

Ah, this perspective looks familiar.

"That's what Chisting replied."

"Boss Lei, you probably don't know this, but a major incident just happened. At the same time, a large number of female explorers in Hillius felt someone playing with their feet and reported it to the guild. It is currently preliminarily determined that a new enemy has appeared. That guy is not only extremely powerful, but also a terrible lecher. He actually used such a despicable method to announce his arrival."

Her voice sounded somewhat uneasy. "Actually, Miss Antoura has been looking for you everywhere, wanting to discuss what to do with you. I didn't expect that you would also be affected."

"I see..."

Upon arriving at the guild, I found it was indeed crowded with people.

When the time stop ended, the beast in Lei Ye's heart began to disappear. He even began to feel fear. What if the explorers he had done bad things to cried and wailed? What if he left some people with psychological trauma?

Could he have done something really terrible?

However, to Lei Ye's surprise, upon closer inspection, he realized that he didn't recognize many of the people in line.

The person at the very front of the line was actually...taking off their shoes?

"Wait a moment!"

Lei Ye suddenly stopped the cooking.

"--.what?"

"Wait a moment, I want to see what these people are doing."

"

"Well... the victim reported it."

"Victims? These are all victims?!"

No, I'm innocent! Lei Ye tilted his head and glanced at the long line. He didn't attack any of those people at all.

Fortunately, the saleswoman was a seasoned employee. After checking the situation, she shook her head at the explorer.

"Miss, you're lying. Please don't obstruct official business."

"What?! What makes you think I'm lying? Look at these new socks, these new shoes..."

The saleswoman sneered, then suddenly raised her leg high and did a standing split.

She pointed to her new shoes.

"Our shoes aren't from the same brand, don't you think?"

"I'm so hungry..."

The female explorer suddenly lost her strength and knelt down on the spot with a thud, deeply shocked.

"How could this happen? Where did I go wrong? Why didn't they choose me...?"

?

These words made Lei Ye frown, and his guilt turned into doubt.

Setting her long legs down, the saleswoman put on her professional smile again, but this time there was a hint of smugness in her smile.

"The victims this time are all the most charming women in Hillius. Of course, this is not my opinion, but what everyone is saying. But I want to say that this is not a reason for you to lie and obstruct official business. Please move on to the next one."

What on earth is all this...?

It wasn't a selection process at all; Raino was just passing by and casually offered a perk. There were no conditions for selection based on charm points.

What are these Hillius people thinking?

However, although this person was a misunderstanding, the next one, Raino, really made a move, and Raino had some impression of her.

After the examination, the receptionist confirmed her identity as a victim and began questioning her.

"You also suddenly had that strange feeling, right? Please describe it in detail."

"How should I put it? Well, someone helped me put on my socks, and someone helped me take them off. During this process, that person touched my feet several times, but it felt like it all happened in an instant. All the sensations happened at the same moment, so it was very strange."

The clerk nodded and made a few notes in the file. "That's exactly how I feel."

Mechanism 4: Attacks launched against the person affected by the time stop during the time stop will unleash their damage after the time stop ends.

Lei Ye had actually guessed this, and this confirms his conjecture.

If he could, he would also like to go to the guild tavern next door, where there should still be two daggers stuck in the beams, one of which would be more powerful.

At that moment, the receptionist caught a glimpse of Lei Ye on the stretcher and quickly called out to him. Immediately, a staff member came over to guide the group to the second floor.

Where...where are you taking me?

The second floor seems to be the management's work area.

As expected, Lei Ye was led to a very stylish room, which looked like a conference room. Several young people dressed in aristocratic formal attire were sitting around, and Antoura was discussing something with them with a serious expression.

Space was limited in the room, and the two nuns didn't know where to put Lei Ye, so they simply placed him on the conference table like a plate of stewed pork.

What's going on here...? Raino was completely bewildered.

"What's going on..." Antorola was also confused.

"It's urgent! To make a long story short, we found Boss Lei in the church. He was..."

Just as Chisting was finishing her sentence, she was interrupted by a sudden scream.

"I'm so hungry! Ugh! Ugh!"

Lei Ye, who was lying on the table, disregarded the awkward situation and started sobbing and shouting.

The noblewoman who was closest to her was so frightened that she stood up and pressed herself against the wall in terror.

"That's how it is..." Christine said helplessly. "Those women were only touched on the soles of their feet. Mr. Raino is the real victim. That person did something very wrong to Mr. Raino."

"What outrageous thing..."

"First of all, he hurt Mr. Raino in some unknown way. Even with healing magic, we couldn't cure him. You see, he suddenly screams like this from time to time, which is very scary. We had no other choice but to bring him here urgently."

"How are you feeling?" Antorola asked Raino with concern upon hearing this.

"I think it's actually okay..."

"Secondly, that person was extremely malicious. He not only hurt Mr. Raino but also wanted to ruin his reputation. We found Mr. Raino in the church. At that time..."

"I'm so hungry!"

"Look at you, yelling again, and saying you're fine," Antorola slightly lifted Raino's long coat to check for any wounds, then abruptly put it down. "This...why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"That's why I said it was vicious. They took off someone else's socks and put them back on, but they stripped Mr. Raino naked and didn't let him wear them. They even moved him to a sacred church and did that kind of thing to him. It was too much. What was I going to say again? Right, the church. We found Mr. Raino in the church. He..."

"I'm so hungry!"

Finally, Chisting couldn't take it anymore and reached out to cover Raino's mouth, but Raino resisted fiercely, so she failed.

"Miss Antoura?" The noble girl in the corner timidly raised her hand. "Although it was a bit confusing, I think I understood. The conclusion of our discussion was that it's possible that another evil spirit is behind this, which is why we need Mr. Raino's power. Could it be that the evil spirit deliberately did this to target Mr. Raino?"

Antoura pondered for a moment and agreed with the noblewoman's statement.

You have a point.

She took Raino's hand and said, "Don't worry, the guild is with you. Everyone will protect you. First, share some information about you. Do you have any clues? Just now, Christine kept mentioning the church. Did something happen there? Was it the Evil that attacked you? Why are you dressed like this?"

"Get Festine out of here first, get her out of here first."

"Huh? Me?"

Soon, Chisting was asked to leave by two staff members.

Lei Ye lay on the table, his chest heaving violently.

"Yes...that's it, I got messed with."

He nodded as if he had given up on something.

"Another vile creature is about to invade this city; she was responsible for everything that just happened."
