Chapter 708
"Ding! The extraction begins!"
Lin Yu held his breath and stared at the roulette wheel.
His heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto the ground, but disappeared the moment it touched the ground, as if swallowed by some mysterious force.
After an unknown amount of time, the speed of the roulette wheel gradually slowed down.
Lin Yu's nerves were stretched to the limit, his eyes fixed on the pointer that was about to stop.
Finally, the roulette wheel made a crisp sound, and the pointer slowly stopped on a rune.
In an instant, a bright light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire room like daylight.
Lin Yu only felt a powerful and unfamiliar force surging into his body, as if countless tiny electric currents were running around in his blood vessels.
He closed his eyes in pain, clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, his nails dug deeply into his palms, and blood dripped through his fingers.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Hunting" destiny, and the current level is 1!" The system's prompt sounded at the right time.
Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes, there was still a look of pain in his eyes, but more of surprise and excitement.
He could feel that wonderful changes were taking place in his body. A keen hunting instinct was growing in his heart, as if he had transformed into a hunter lurking in the darkness, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his prey at any time.
However, before he had time to feel the new power of destiny, a strong sense of crisis suddenly hit him. He turned his head suddenly and saw strange cracks appearing on the wall of the room.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu's consciousness finally touched a ray of light.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a boundless sea of stars.
Tens of thousands of stars are suspended all around, each emitting a unique halo, and in this sea of stars, a huge figure is looming, like a towering mountain, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
"How dare a tiny ant covet the way of hunting?"
The projection of the Hunting Star God Lan slowly emerged from the shadows, and the huge longbow in his hand exuded a destructive aura even before the string was pulled.
Although Lan agreed to Aha's arrangement, his eyes were still full of contempt when facing this person who had not yet proved his existence.
"Do you know why the Cloud Riders of the Immortal Boat Alliance believe in the Light Arrow?"
Lin Yu was almost unable to breathe due to the invisible pressure, and knelt heavily on one knee, "Because the hunting patrol is the sharp blade of judgment."
"Sharp blade?" Lan sneered sarcastically, and the huge longbow was instantly pressed against Lin Yu's throat. The bowstring vibrated and cut spider-web-like cracks in the surrounding space.
“A thousand years after the Immortal Boat set sail, when the Compassionate Medicine King degenerated into the Originator of Plague and Longevity, those who chose Clipper’s fate as members of the Bu Tian Sect were merely patching up the holes in the despair until the arrow of light penetrated the fog.” He swung his bow violently, and the nebula in the distance exploded, turning into meteors all over the sky.
Lin Yu gritted his teeth, "But I heard that the way of hunting is too narrow..."
"Narrow?" Lan suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and countless light arrows condensed into a galaxy behind him.
"Do you know that in the year 7900 of the star calendar, when the Buli people's Cangya hunting group turned the Lost Soul Star Region into a weapon pasture, whose light arrows evaporated those twisted creations in an instant? In the year 7954 of the star calendar, the sky of Levatin-XVI was pierced by a light arrow, and the entire star became a dead world. That was not destruction, but the hunting patrol's maintenance of the laws of the universe!"
"During the Third Fengraomin War, when Fanghudongtian fell, Ying Yuque Taibu offered the lives of his entire clan as a sacrifice to seek help."
"The light arrows I sent down did destroy 63,000 battleships, 120,000 pilots, and crushed one-fifth of the cave, but at the same time, they ended the swallowing of the wandering star "Jidu Mirage"! Those who cried that I was an executioner, have you ever thought that if you let the evil creatures go, the entire Xianzhou Alliance would have already become a twisted monster paradise?"
Lin Yu stood up with a flash of thought in his eyes, "But the destruction of Tiange Star, the business entity of Interstellar Peace Company, was completely wiped out just because of the desquamation disease..."
He suddenly approached Lin Yu, "The fate of the patrol has never been for mercy. Which of the seven generals of the Immortal Boat is not carrying the sin of destroying the star? But they still hold the light arrow high and move forward! Because when you have witnessed the tragic situation of Tiange Star in the Amber Era 2131, you will understand--" Lan's voice suddenly became low, "Some mercy is more cruel than killing."
"Then why did you give me this fate?" Lin Yu looked directly at Lan, "If I am destined to bear the sin, why did you choose me?"
Lan was silent for a long time, and the array of light arrows behind him slowly dissipated.
"Because I see a similar contradiction in you. You know that the hunting road is stained with blood, but you are still willing to hold the arrow of light tightly."
"When you shoot the first arrow, you are no longer choosing your fate, but becoming fate itself, whether it is the prey that walks away from people, the evil creatures that are rich, or the hypocrites who claim to be righteous..."
When Lin Yu's consciousness was about to be withdrawn, Lan's voice echoed in the space, accompanied by the roar of thousands of light arrows.
"In the eyes of the hunters, there are only threats. If one day, you feel pity for your prey——" His longbow condensed again and aimed at Lin Yu's heart, "My next light arrow will pierce your chest!"
Lin Yu returned to reality in a cold sweat. He finally understood that the meaning of hunting was never to protect a piece of land, even if this protection required countless lives and sins.
But does hunting require one to bear sin?
A hint of thought flashed across Lin Yu's eyes again.
Some scenes are constantly intertwined with the bloody judgment shown by Lan.
Perhaps, besides absolute destruction and ruthless killing, there is a third way.
A path that can protect without dragging innocent people into the abyss.
Although the road ahead was full of fog, once this idea took root, it grew wildly in Lin Yu's heart.
Lin Yu held his forehead and gasped, and ripples suddenly appeared in the air.
In the blink of an eye, Ah Ha transformed into a little white-haired girl, wearing a puffy skirt decorated with stars. Her little feet wrapped in white silk were dangling in the air, her fingertips were entangled with her own hair, and she tilted her head to look at him like a cunning cat.
"Hey, you're awake? That Lan guy's behavior didn't sit well with you, did it?"
Before Lin Yu could speak, Ah Ha suddenly leaned over and brushed the ends of his hair across his hot cheek.
She tapped the hunting mark on his forehead with her fingertips, "Tsk tsk, you are indeed the most stubborn star god, and you can't stop talking about destroying stars." She suddenly giggled, "But what were you thinking just now? Secretly questioning the rules of the hunting? This is more interesting than touching Lan's reverse scale!"
Lin Yu forced himself to sit up straight, but found that he was trapped in place by Aha's power.
The little girl leaned close to his ear, and the breath she exhaled had the sweetness of strawberry candy.
"When everyone is following the rules, you are thinking about how to overturn the chessboard!"
"Every choice you make is a variable on my chessboard." Aha suddenly leaned closer, with his nose almost touching his lips.
"Lan gave you the bow of judgment, and I will teach you how to use this bow." Her voice suddenly lowered, with a bewitching ending, "shoot at the rules of the Star God itself."
"What are you going to do?" Lin Yu asked.
Aha tilted his head, the hair accessories jingled among his white hair, and his eyes seemed to contain the mischief of the entire universe.
She stretched out her index finger, gently poked Lin Yu's tense cheek, and giggled, "Why are you so nervous? Don't look at me as if you were an enemy, or I'll be sad~"
She suddenly turned over and stood upside down, her skirt hanging down like an umbrella, her calves wrapped in white silk dangling in the air, "You see, this universe is like a grand carnival, but some guys insist on making boring rules."
"Lan only knows how to use arrows to destroy threats, but she doesn't know that the rules themselves can also become a threat." She turned over and landed steadily on Lin Yu's shoulder, grabbing his hair with her small hands. "And what I like most is to secretly add absurd plots to other people's scripts."
Ah Ha suddenly leaned over, his fingertips brushed across Lin Yu's Adam's apple, leaving a numbing mark on the skin, "Remember when you doubted that patrolling must be sinful? This is why I chose you. The rebelliousness in your bones is like the fireworks prepared for my carnival."
"So, play with me~" She suddenly opened her arms, and the space around her twisted into a kaleidoscope-like illusion, with countless parallel time and space flashing before her eyes.
"See these interesting 'toys'?" Aha whispered in his ear, her voice as sweet as melting honey. "The bow Lan gave you can only shoot at fixed targets, but I will teach you how to use this bow to shoot at those high and mighty 'rule makers', or even..." Her voice suddenly became cold, "shoot at those star gods who think they control everything."
Lin Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he wanted to struggle but found that he was bound even tighter by the invisible force.
Aha jumped down from his shoulder and turned around, "Don't be so scared, I'm not asking you to challenge Lan now."
"What exactly do you want from me?"
Ah Ha suddenly came close and kissed him quickly on the cheek, leaving a lip mark, "Do what you want to do most, break all the constraints, and make this boring universe crazy for you! And I..." She jumped into the air and blew a kiss to Lin Yu, "I will enjoy this carnival feast that belongs to you~"
"Don't do that, it's a bit disgusting." Lin Yu wiped the saliva from his cheek.
"You still despise me, but I am the Star God of Joy!"
"You should thank me for being my toy." Ah Ha pinched his waist and said with his head raised.
However, the scene in front of Lin Yu changed again.
At the headquarters of Interstellar Peace Corporation, on a senior executive's conference table, a document labeled "Yalilo-VI Second Assessment" was heating up.
"Did you see it?" Ah Ha had sat on his shoulders at some point, her two legs wrapped in white silk swaying back and forth. "Every time you hesitate, it will become a bargaining chip in the hands of others." She suddenly grabbed Lin Yu's hair, forcing him to look up and look directly at the scenes.
"So you want me to go to Pinocchio?"
"Wrong!" Ah Ha jumped up from his shoulder, and countless threads of fate were entangled between the gears. "I want you to overturn the entire gambling table! When everyone is staring at the cards, we will burn down the casino directly - this is the joyful romance!" She suddenly threw a dice at Lin Yu, "The game begins, my toy~ Remember, hesitation will become someone else's bargaining chip, and courage... will make you the rule itself!"
"Not interested in."
"Hey? Why?"
"I don't want to look for gold dust, nor do I want to interrupt his gambling game. And my goal is not to go to Pinoconi, but to return to the Immortal Boat."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu suddenly made a move and grabbed Aha's slender waist tightly with his arm.
The girl cried out softly and was pulled into his arms.
Her unique fragrance mixed with the unique breath of the Star God came to my face.
"Don't you want to have fun? I'll bring it to you." Lin Yu lowered his head and approached, his warm breath sweeping across Aha's flushed cheeks, "But I don't like being told what to do, even if you are a star god!"
"You...let me go..." Ah Ha bit his lips and struggled, kicking his legs wildly in the air, and his calves wrapped in white silk hitting Lin Yu felt like tickling.
Her cheeks were still red, and it was unclear whether it was because of anger or shame. "How dare you do this to me again! Do you know the consequences of angering me? The consequences of a Star God!"
"I only know that from now on, this game has to be played according to my rules." Lin Yu was unmoved, but instead held Aha tighter.
Aha froze instantly, and his struggling movements came to an abrupt stop.
Looking at the coldness burning in Lin Yu's eyes, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Interesting! So interesting!" She raised her arms and hooked them around Lin Yu's neck, her wet eyes flashing with excitement.
"Want to go back to the Immortal Boat? No problem~ But in exchange, you have to play a more exciting game with me."
"Sorry, I don't sell myself."
"Lin...Yu you bastard!" Ah Ha screamed with his face flushed.
She kicked out her calf wrapped in white silk, but Lin Yu grabbed her ankle accurately. She staggered forward and fell into the other's arms.
"Don't move." Lin Yu held her waist firmly with one hand, and held her calf with the other hand.
The touch of the warm palm through the white silk made Ah Ha tremble all over. Just as he was about to explode, he met his half-smiley eyes, "Don't you want to talk about the rules of the game?"
Ah Ha struggled to sit up angrily and pulled his legs back with force, causing the edges of his white silk to become slightly wrinkled.
She wiped her face carelessly, not knowing whether she was embarrassed or angry, "Who wants to sell her body to you! I want you to bring your hunting power and turn the world upside down in the Immortal Boat!"
"No, my friends are all over there."
"Lin Yu!"
Ahaha's impotent rage again..
