The moment the haze hit the shadow, Lin Qiye felt a chill on his back, and an inexplicable chill surged from the soles of his feet to his heart.
This is……
Before Lin Qiye could return to his spiritual state, a weak voice sounded in his ears:
"It's me...get out of here! They're catching up!"
This is the voice of number 27.
Without saying a word, Lin Qiye immediately set off and walked quickly towards the nearby streets. As soon as his figure disappeared in the Miracle Square, several figures descended from the sky with terrifying divine power, looking around with frowns.
"Thor, are you sure you saw him running here?" A tall and mighty god wearing armor spoke in a deep voice.
"No doubt about it." Thor's eyes, filled with thunder, scanned the surroundings and he said with certainty, "Now that the Rainbow Bridge is broken, no one can leave Asgard. Moreover, he was hit by my lightning, so he can't run far. He must be nearby."
"Search separately!"
As soon as the god finished speaking, the Nordic troops behind him immediately dispersed in all directions and searched along the scattered streets bit by bit.
Not far away, Lin Qiye was walking on the street, feeling the powerful divine power coming from behind him, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"What's going on?"
"I'm being hunted." No. 27 said weakly, "That Thor's Thunder is my nemesis. No matter how I run, he can catch up with me. And now the whole Asgard is sealed off. I can't escape. I can only keep fleeing in various divine domains until I happened to run into you in the Miracle Square just now...
Don't panic, I'm just using your body as a shield to temporarily recover my strength. When you reach the second corner in front, I'll jump into the holy river from there and won't hold you back."
Lin Qiye quickened his pace and asked in a low voice, "Jump into the Holy River? Are you sure you can escape their pursuit this way?"
“…Not necessarily, but I can only give it a try.”
After he finished speaking, No. 27 stopped talking, as if he was trying his best to suppress the injuries on his body. Only his heavy breathing echoed in Lin Qiye's ears.
Lin Qiye followed the directions of No. 27 and walked through two streets in succession. Feeling the divine power gradually approaching from behind, beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
In this situation, he must not rashly use his abilities to fly over this area, nor could he run at full speed. In the eyes of the gods who were spreading out to search, this would be tantamount to trying to cover up one's own guilt, and would only attract their attention faster.
What's more, in terms of speed, Lin Qiye didn't think he could break through the encirclement of the Nordic War Department.
He had to act as naturally as possible to avoid being discovered by the Nordic war department.
But unfortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the streets of Asgard so late at night. The gods who were conducting a carpet search soon noticed Lin Qiye walking alone on the street. After hesitating for a moment, they all flew towards him.
"They've noticed this place... I should leave." No. 27 keenly sensed the gods' shift in direction and spoke helplessly.
"But this place is still far from the Holy River. Are you sure you can break through their encirclement?"
"I have no choice." At this moment, No. 27's voice calmed down. "If you don't leave now, you will be caught with me..."
No. 27's figure turned into a wisp of smoke and was about to leave Lin Qiye's body. At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"Wait!" Lin Qiye suddenly asked, "Can you turn into gas and hide in my lungs?"
"Of course I can... But this little trick won't fool them. There are gods among them who are good at seeing through invisibility. They can see through your body and find me at a glance."
"Don't worry about this, just hide inside!"
"Are you sure? If you are discovered, you will die with me."
"Stop talking nonsense! They are coming!"
Amid Lin Qiye's murmurs, No. 27 finally floated into the air, and along with the air inhaled by Lin Qiye, it was drawn into his lungs and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Qiye frowned and couldn't help but lowered his head and coughed twice.
"Is it you?"
Almost at the same time, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and transformed into a figure wearing a red cloak, standing in front of Lin Qiye.
Thor looked him over carefully and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
"Lord Thor." Lin Qiye pretended to be surprised and said, "After we returned to Asgard, Lord Tyr left scars on us and let us move freely... I thought that since it was my first time in Asgard, I would just wander around. What are you doing...?"
Lin Qiye took the initiative to lift up his collar and showed Thor the red scar left by Tyr.
Seeing the scar, Thor's face showed understanding. He nodded and said, "Did you see anything flying nearby just now?"
"Things?" Lin Qiye thought about it carefully, "It seems that there is nothing."
Several figures slowly landed beside Thor, their eyes fell on Lin Qiye, and alertness suddenly appeared in their eyes:
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"He is the person I brought back, the agent of Merlin, the god of magic and prophecy..." Thor explained to everyone in the Nordic War Department, and everyone's eyes eased a little.
The leading god in armor looked at Lin Qiye carefully, and spoke solemnly to a god beside him:
"Check it out."
"Um."
In the Nordic War Division, a god first slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them, his pupils flashing with a blue light.
He stared at Lin Qiye for a long time, the light in his eyes gradually faded, "No problem."
"… Let's go and continue searching!"
When the god in armor heard these words, he immediately lost interest in Lin Qiye. He waved his hand and took off into the air with many gods, continuing to fly in all directions.
Thor was not in a hurry to fly away with them. Instead, he patted Lin Qiye on the shoulder and said, "If you have nowhere to go, go back to my temple and someone will arrange a place for you to stay."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure turned into a bolt of lightning and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Lin Qiye stood there, and waited until all the gods had gone away before he heaved a long sigh of relief. His back was already soaked with cold sweat.
With the "perfect disguise" promised by the Holy Grail, he successfully deceived the spying god. Not only did he not reveal his true identity, he also hid number 27 in his body.
However, to Lin Qiye's surprise, Thor took the initiative to find him a place to stay. Most likely, he saw him wandering alone on the streets late at night and thought he had nowhere to go.
It seems that Thor's people are pretty good.
Lin Qiye did not rush to release No. 27, but walked straight to Thor's temple. Under the guidance of a maid, he came to a fairly spacious residence behind the temple.
Lin Qiye closed the door with his backhand, scanned the surroundings with his mental power, and after confirming that no one else was watching, he lowered his voice and spoke:
"You can come out now."
