I Hope Miss Durandal Will Like It~

"Jackal, I have some bad news for you!"

"Durandal is flying towards you, and she should be there soon!"

"What did you say?"

Unwilling to accept defeat, Jackal, who was planning to go to the scene to see for herself whether "Yuno" was dead or alive, couldn't help but stop abruptly upon hearing this news. The anger that she had just barely managed to suppress surged up again, doubling in intensity.

"Damn it, why didn't you stop her!"

Jackal roared.

This roar echoed repeatedly in the closed and quiet underground corridor, creating a deafening sensation, and also vibrating Jackal's own ears, making her even more irritable.

She was really angry now.

The damn Valkyrie's damn bombardment not only caused her heavy losses in an instant, but also completely disrupted her entire plan, leaving her unprecedentedly weak and confused!

Therefore, at this time, Jackal could not accept a top S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal suddenly joining this chaotic battlefield, adding more trouble to her.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her and find a chance to get rid of her?"

Jackal questioned loudly.

At the moment, the only helper she could find in a short time was this Raven. Precisely because of this, she had some unrealistic expectations of her, and after this expectation was dashed, she felt extreme disappointment and transferred blame.

"It's been so long, can't you even handle such a small matter?"

"Huh? Small matter?!"

Lin Wei was deeply immersed in the role, and adhering to the principle of "love your job," he couldn't help but let out a slightly exaggerated exclamation after hearing Jackal's questioning on the other end of the communicator. He imitated Raven's tone and asked incredulously,

"My dear Jackal, are you alright? Did that bombardment shake your brain, so you're not thinking clearly now? Please, that's an S-rank Valkyrie! Is she so easy to 'get rid of'? Besides, more than half an hour ago, if I hadn't discovered it in time and helped, those people you sent out would have already fallen into Durandal's hands!"

Lin Wei repeated the facts he had fabricated without any guilt. His tone was firm and confident, as if it was reality that had really happened. He unceremoniously turned the tables.

"Please! Get it straight, you're the one who keeps causing me all sorts of trouble. It was like this at the university yesterday afternoon, and it was like this in the city in the early hours of this morning. And now, in less than an hour, you've given me another mess like this! And now you have the nerve to question me?"

Lin Wei questioned in an angry tone, as if he was really fighting for the injustice suffered by Raven.

"Uh…"

Jackal didn't expect the other party's anger to seem even greater than hers, and her momentum couldn't help but stagnate, feeling that the other party seemed to have a point. But she was unwilling to admit defeat, so she couldn't help but ask again,

"Then why didn't you stop her?"

Could Lin Wei put up with this? He struck back while the iron was hot.

"Please! Can you be a little more calm before you ask your questions? Do you think wasting time at this juncture is interesting?"

Raven's voice "also calmed down," and said "irritably."

"Stop? I couldn't stop her! Such an unrestrained energy attack, such a big commotion, millions of people in the whole city can see it clearly. When Durandal saw it, she flew straight towards you without saying a word. This time there wasn't even any time to react!"

Although Lin Wei had not personally seen the scene in the distance, he only relied on his own guesses, but he still described the actual situation almost perfectly.

It can only be said that this kind of thing is really not difficult to guess.

"…"

After being persuaded by Lin Wei and understanding Raven's difficulties, Jackal once again viciously set her sights on Schicksal as the target of her criticism.

Damn Schicksal, damn Valkyries!

"Wait, what's that sound on your end?"

After Jackal calmed down a little, she heard the rather noisy background sound on "Raven's" side, and couldn't help but ask.

"Sound? What sound… Oh, you mean this?"

Lin Wei was really stunned for a moment, and at first he thought he had exposed some flaw. After carefully examining himself, he realized that he was panting a little because he was running. He couldn't help but realize, and "told the truth."

"I'm rushing over! Durandal can fly, but I can't! After all, I'm not the real Raven, so I have to chase after her with my two legs… Okay, there's not much time left. I've tried my best to do some remedial work for you, and I should be able to buy some more time. Take this opportunity to evacuate from there quickly!"

"Raven" said "responsibly."

"It's impossible to divert Durandal's attention from there, the commotion you made is too obvious. Therefore, I can only do some misleading within a small range to try to confuse her vision."

Knowing that at this critical juncture, Jackal would not have enough time and energy to carefully consider how many loopholes there were in the information he provided, so in order to save time and get straight to the point, Lin Wei, in principle of being honest, told her his actions just now, one by one.

"I made a false mark one or two hundred meters away from the area directly hit by the bombardment. It should be able to confuse Durandal's vision – judging from the map, it should be the entrance to an underground garage. It will take Durandal a lot of time to get in, investigate, and come out, which can buy some more time."

Lin Wei further stimulated Jackal's sensitive nerves, and "kindly" reminded,

"In a hurry, this is all I can do… I'll send you the specific coordinates on the map. When you evacuate, remember to avoid this direction."

Then, Lin Wei sent her the coordinates from the communicator.

As expected, Jackal exploded as soon as she saw it.

"What? You let her go to this place?!"

"Ah? What do you mean, are you there too?"

Lin Wei, who had just come out of the same place, naturally knew that Jackal would not be there, so he asked knowingly.

"It can't be that coincidental, can it? Schicksal's bombardment will only hit you, so I deliberately chose a place a certain distance away from the bombardment…"

"Phew… Phew… No, I'm not…"

Jackal felt her blood pressure "whooshing" to her forehead, and her vision couldn't help but darken. She couldn't help but support herself against the wall, panting heavily, and said with some difficulty,

"But that Lin Wei… I put him in that place… Raven, did you do this on purpose?"

This matter was too coincidental, and Jackal couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Hey, don't wrong me. If I really wanted to cause you trouble, I would have just stood by when your subordinates just captured Lin Wei."

Lin Wei unceremoniously turned the tables.

"I have to ask you, how is it so coincidental that you have secret bases everywhere?"

"No. It's just that the place you marked is connected to the medical center of this sports arena…"

Jackal explained somewhat helplessly.

"I temporarily set up a laboratory in the underground part there… It was originally just a casual arrangement when setting up this trap. But after the biological experiment center at the university fell, I had to activate it…"

So that's why!

Lin Wei cursed internally. I said why that place looked so simple, so that's how it is.

"Damn…"

Jackal was about to contact the humanoid machine and ask her to take Lin Wei away, but the call failed, and she couldn't help but curse.

"Damn Schicksal, they even affected that place!"

Obviously, she also attributed this change to Schicksal's daring energy bombardment, making her losses continue to expand!

Should she just give up and evacuate empty-handed? No, no way!

A bit of a gambler, the restless Jackal suddenly glanced down at Stan, who was licking the wound on his hind leg at her feet. She seemed to suddenly calm down and asked, "Raven," into the communicator.

"How long will it take you to get here?"

Heh, so you're starting to get hooked?

Lin Wei sneered inwardly, and casually made up a number.

"Within ten minutes."

While speaking, Lin Wei had already successfully entered the pre-selected building, found a hidden corner that was not easily discovered by the outside world, hid, and while calming his breathing and recovering his strength, he looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky, and "kindly" reminded,

"But Durandal flies in the sky, so she will be faster. According to my estimate, she will probably arrive within two or three minutes."

"It's already been delayed for so long, and in the remaining short time, even if there is still room to buy some time, it's not easy for you to evacuate… What, do you have other plans?"

Lin Wei asked knowingly.

"Evacuate? Hehehe… No! How could I evacuate!"

Jackal sneered.

"I want Schicksal to pay the price!"

Good, as expected of Dr. Jackal, I, Lin Wei, admire your courage!

Lin raised his thumb high, and asked earnestly,

"What are you going to do?"

Although this current result was guided by Lin Wei step by step through constant stimulation and hints, he was still impressed by her courageous decision.

What is meant by the fearlessness of the ignorant; what is meant by a gambler who loses so badly they don't care about their life…

Look at Jackal, that's it!

Come on, tell me loudly what you are going to do?

"I will send someone to try to hold her back."

Jackal said earnestly.

"You hurry over and use the bullet I gave you to eliminate her!"

Well, what a simple plan, comparable to putting an elephant in a refrigerator…

Lin Wei evaluated it neutrally, but is Durandal, this elephant, so easy to handle?

"Send someone? I don't remember World Serpent having such a powerful character?"

There was only one step away from the answer he wanted. Lin Wei once again struck while the iron was hot, and gave Jackal a little stimulation, trying to add a little weight to the scale.

"I remind you, if the person sent out is unqualified and is captured, it may backfire and leak more of your information."

"You don't need to remind me, I naturally know this."

Jackal said confidently.

"There are naturally no suitable people, but there are suitable creations made specifically for Valkyries…"

"Meow?"

Stan couldn't help but stop licking his fur. Are you talking about me?

"In that case, why not set another trap and give that damn Schicksal a good lesson!"

Jackal said confidently, her attitude firm and unchangeable.

OK, done!

Lin Wei was delighted, thinking, that's what I was waiting for. On the surface, he still played the role of Raven's qualified mercenary, and said helplessly,

"Okay, since you've already decided… then what are you going to do, and what should I do?"

"Me? Since the S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal is no longer a problem, then I will naturally go and retrieve my prey! Hmph, whether dead or alive, she should be my collection!"

Jackal said with a snort.

"As for you… You know more about battlefield matters than I do, you will know what to do, just act according to the situation."

Heh, you're quite trusting of your companions? Lin Wei was slightly surprised by this.

"Well then… That's it, stay in touch."

After speaking, they hung up the communication.

"Stan, you come in with me, there is a new task for you…"

Jackal scooped up the kitten on the ground and walked into the room she had just been in.

With a strong enemy at hand, it was too late to strengthen it. But it was still possible to replace some temporary strengthening potions in the inhibitor.

"This task must not be missed, don't let me down!"

Jackal said gloomily, and Stan nodded.

Meanwhile…

"Ha!"

Lin Wei put away the communicator, couldn't help but chuckle, and then couldn't help but laugh louder and louder. He simply covered his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound, and then sat down on the ground, twitching.

After laughing for a while, feeling that he had laughed enough, Lin Wei gently released his hand, which had turned a little pale from being covered for too long, sighed with a smile, and said softly,

"Sakura, your senses are sharper than mine. Keep an eye on the movement outside for me, especially the sound of aircraft flying in the sky…"

"Don't look outside. Durandal's senses are also very sharp, and she is likely to perceive your and my gaze. Just listen to the sound."

Yae Sakura in the Stigmata space nodded, focusing most of her attention on her ears. But it didn't mean that she couldn't do anything.

"What were you laughing at just now?"

Yae Sakura asked curiously.

"Because I discovered a very funny thing…"

Lin Wei was about to think, and another burst of laughter surged up. He hurriedly suppressed it and explained,

"After all, a few days ago, when I first discovered Durandal's existence, I never imagined… that this elephant in the room could be solved in such an absurd way…"

"Are you talking about that cat?"

Yae Sakura was taken aback, and then smiled slightly, agreeing,

"It's quite absurd."

"Right?"

Lin Wei couldn't help but laugh again, rubbed his aching stomach,

"If I hadn't happened to use the feathers to read the memory of that cat, I wouldn't have discovered that their feelings for each other had unknowingly reached this level…"

Who could have imagined such an absurd development beforehand?

"…Yes, you are really despicable, Lin Wei-kun, to even use something like this?"

Yae Sakura glanced at Lin Wei and smiled slightly.

"But, are you sure this will work? Even if she is soft-hearted, that cat will not be Durandal's opponent."

"No. Sakura, you misunderstand. I was laughing at myself."

Lin Wei, who had laughed enough, was quite calm.

"Sakura, you see, human emotions are so subtle and interesting…"

"Proper guidance can make it a good medicine for rapid growth, allowing a cowardly person to forget fear, break free from constraints, and move forward bravely;"

"And if used in reverse, it will become a rope that binds the brave, making them hesitant and unable to move forward or backward for a while."

"For example, a coin, one body with two sides, good is also it, bad is also it…"

Lin Wei smiled slightly.

"Just like you said, that cat is certainly not Durandal's opponent. But in the current situation, the little bit of time that can be delayed by a moment's hesitation and soft-heartedness is enough to turn the world upside down!"

"What's more, how do you know that the smart little cat doesn't have the same feelings and the same hesitation?"

"Heh, in this way, more time can be gained – isn't this our goal?"

Speaking of this, Lin Wei couldn't help but complain slightly,

"Caring for each other and fighting each other… Heh… What kind of cheesy drama is this!"

"…"

Yae Sakura couldn't help but be speechless for a moment, feeling as if she had been accidentally AOE'd.

After all, she seemed to quite like this kind of plot…

"You see, even this kind of thing must be used to the extreme. I am indeed despicable enough…"

"But on the bright side, although there is suspicion of borrowing flowers to present to Buddha, the agreement between 'He Kun' and Durandal can probably be considered completed?"

Lin Wei smiled slightly, bowed slightly in the void,

"Miss Durandal, I have found the cat for you, please sign for it~"

"I hope you like it~"
