Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 168 Belated Compensation

Cheng Yan waited for Niwa until the evening. Under Escher's guidance, the Ta'er Forge had been able to fully adapt to the new smelting method. The output increased dramatically. When Niwa came back, there was a tired but hopeful smile on his face.

Not seeing Cheng Yan and Aqi in the yard, Niwa went up to the second floor where they lived to check.

I pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to meet Cheng Yan's gaze.

"You're back?"

Cheng Yan held Aqi's hand and kept it in this position for the whole day. After Aqi came back, he seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. He kept mumbling anxiously and could not be awakened no matter how he was called.

As soon as Cheng Yan showed signs of wanting to let go, he would hold his hand tightly, so tightly that Cheng Yan's finger bones hurt. Like a wounded little animal, it instinctively kept the warmth around it.

Niwa saw Aqi's pale face and looked worried, "What's wrong with Aqi?"

Cheng Yan motioned him to come closer to him, "You stay with him first, he can't be alone right now, I have to do something."

Ni Yu took over Cheng Yan's position by Aqi's bed, with one hand held by Aqi and the other hand gently patting his chest.

"what are you up to?"

Cheng Yan's expression was not very good, "I will go and seek justice for him."

Leaving this sentence, Cheng Yan stepped on Zhuofeng and flew out of the window.

Although there were only a few words that Cheng Yan heard in the castle tower during the day, they were enough for him to piece together the truth.

Abandoning the territory, possessing emotions, an unqualified container, and a weak will.

Haha, no wonder the progress of the strategy when facing Archie does not follow the favorability.

Heartbreak...

After learning about Aqi's life experience, Cheng Yan felt depressed and uncomfortable when he saw these three words.

They were given a mission when they were born, but because they had emotions, they were considered unable to complete the mission, so they were imprisoned, abandoned, and even destroyed.

A fire started burning in his heart, Cheng Yan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead hard, he was so angry that he lost his calm.

The woman's words put Archie into a nightmare, and her words seemed to be harmful to Archie.

Cheng Yan pursed his lips tightly.

I must protect him, no matter what the cost, even if it means taking him away from Inazuma.

He raised his hand and touched the Eye of God at his waist. When Bai Ri's sword came, it was the power of the Emperor that protected him.

"System, how many points do I have left?"

[Current points 1050]

Cheng Yan exhaled lightly, "If I get killed by a single blow, then the mission will be a failure."

These points are not enough for him to be resurrected.

[That's right, the host will gain something from this trip. It is suggested that the host should use emotion and reason to persuade the creator of the target, Lei Diandian, the real ruler of Inazuma, and not necessarily put him to death.]

Cheng Yan recalled the conversation with Lei Dianying, raised his hand, held the Eye of God and kissed it.

"Lord Emperor, please let me use my power to bully others once more."

Cheng Yan thought about what the system said, but he felt that there was something strange about Bai Ri’s contact with the woman in purple.

The woman seemed to have two personalities, one swung the knife at them without hesitation, and the other was slightly different, speaking and acting as if she hadn't been in business for a long time.

The castle tower was approaching, and Cheng Yan, holding the chopping sword, walked in aggressively.

With his strength, if he hadn't had the Emperor's protection, he would definitely not have been able to block the woman's sword. But if he didn't fight head-on and just ran away, Cheng Yan was still confident that he could get away when he was alone.

But he wanted to solve the problem, the problem that had been bothering Archie.

If they really confront each other head-on, not only will the situation not be resolved, but it will have a greater impact on Aqi and may even involve the Ta'er Sword Forge.

The castle tower was still deserted and empty. It felt cold as soon as you walked in.

Go up the steps and walk all the way to the main entrance of the castle tower.

Cheng Yan's expression relaxed and he raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Squeak—"

Before I touched the heavy wooden door, it suddenly opened.

Cheng Yan looked inside and saw that the decoration inside the room was in the same style as the entire castle tower. Apart from a low table and a few futons, there were very few other decorations.

At this moment, Yae Shenzi and Lei Dianying were looking at Cheng Yan together, as if they had expected him to come.

"Finally here, little one, come and sit down."

The tense scene that Cheng Yan had imagined did not happen, and he walked over according to what the Eightfold Son of God said.

"Since you know I'm coming, you should also know what I'm going to say."

Yae Shinko looked up at Ying and raised her eyebrows to signal her to speak.

Ying showed a rare look of helplessness on his face. He looked at Cheng Yan who was sitting next to him and spoke in a somewhat stiff tone.

"There were some misunderstandings about what happened today. I didn't mean to kill him, I just wanted to confirm his current character. The puppet's power is extraordinary. If the seal I set loosens, it will be very easy for him to do something that would harm Inazuma."

Cheng Yan raised his eyes and looked at her. "I thought that Aqi's reaction to you was enough to show his true intentions. You are so innocent like a child. How could you have the heart to do that to him?"

The Eightfold Son of God had been looking at Cheng Yan, and when he heard this, he knocked on the table.

"Little guy, I have to say something for her. That knife was not moved by the shadow in front of you."

Cheng Yan looked at Ying carefully, "But that person looks exactly like her."

"She's a general."

Ying calmly described, "After I created what you call Aqi, I found that he was not suitable to be a container, so I created the General. The General will execute orders unconditionally and knows that he is the previous container, so he will take action."

"I heard what you said today. If you treat him as a human being instead of a vessel, these actions are indeed a bit excessive."

Cheng Yan saw her change of tone and felt relieved, putting down the teacup in his hand heavily.

"More than a little, he is so heartbroken that he is still unconscious in bed."

Ying looked up, with some emotional fluctuations on his face, "I don't know how to get along with him, but it's mostly my fault that he became like this... If possible, I want to make up for it as much as possible. After all, I brought him into this world, so I have to take responsibility."

Cheng Yan's expression suddenly changed. Looking at the shadow in front of him who suddenly became more humane, he felt that some of his previous harsh words were too much.

"You, really think so?"

Ying nodded seriously, "So, can you give me some advice?"

Cheng Yan slapped his thigh, "You should have said it earlier. Hurry up, let's act now. Maybe we can get back before he wakes up. What are you good at? Or something that can represent you? I'll bring it back to him and explain it to him. It will definitely have a good effect."

Ying was stunned for a moment, and then spoke seriously after thinking for a moment.

"I'm good at fighting."

Cheng Yan: ...

"It's not that kind of skill. Can you cook? Just something simple will do. He will definitely need to eat when he wakes up. He will definitely be happy to eat something you made."

"Cooking...?" Ying lowered his eyes, looking like he was thinking seriously.

Yae Shenzi's expression had changed, "Little guy, how about..."

"You can give it a try."

He looked up and nodded vigorously to confirm, with a firm look in Ying's eyes.

Cheng Yan smiled, "That's great, I'll teach you, just follow my steps."

……

Under the distorted expression of Yae Shinto, Cheng Yan hurried back to the Ta'er Sword Forging Field with the "Congee" that both he and Ying praised.

"I didn't expect her cooking skills to be so good. They're comparable to Master's, although Master's cooking is still tastier."

In order to let Aqi eat hot porridge, Cheng Yan flew back quickly. When he climbed through the window, he saw Aqi, who had woken up, looking for him.

"Where have you been?"

There was a look of grievance in Archie's eyes, his eye sockets were red, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Cheng Yan waved to Danyu, "Danyu, if you have something to do, go and do it first. I'll be here."

Niwa nodded. He had been overwhelmed with orders recently and was indeed a bit busy.

"Archie, have a good rest." He did not forget to remind the person on the bed before leaving.

Aqi looked at Cheng Yan, the grievance in his eyes became stronger, "You said you would always be with me."

Cheng Yan smiled at him and showed him the food box in his hand mysteriously.

"Don't be angry, look at what this is?"

Archie's nose twitched and he smelled a bad smell.

"I don't know, where did you get it?"

Cheng Yan curled his lips, opened the lid of the lunch box, and looked at Aqi's expression with great anticipation.

"Dangdang, it's porridge. Guess who made it?"

When Archie saw what was in the food box, he immediately leaned back and covered his nose with his hand.

"I'm already in this state, and you still want to poison me?"
