Chapter 165 - ICISEI Episode 165

Episode 165: Assassin Armor G4 Outfit · Portable Version / As a professional assassin, you deserve to own this.

『 As the robot touched down next to the Prince of Stan, the hatch slid open, and the prince sprang inside with a single leap.

"Hahahaha! I'm going to destroy this island!"

At this moment, the Prince of Stan was filled with rage due to his defeat.

Seven stared coldly at the giant robot, his Magic Blade Thousand Demon Daggers unfurling in his hand, instantly, countless blade shadows soared into the sky. In a flash, a thin yellow line appeared on the robot, which the Prince of Stan was so proud of.

The robot struggled for a few moments, then exploded with a loud boom.

"I'll be back!" Mid-air, only the Prince of Stan, clad in his underwear, was left shouting.

Then, he streaked across the sky like a meteor.

"Ah Qi, you are truly amazing!" Dai Bo walked forward.

But to his surprise, Seven pointed the tip of his blade at Dai Bo, scaring Dai Bo into a shiver.

"Move aside if you want to live!"

"I am a Shadow Killer from Xuanwu Country."

Seven collapsed to the ground before he could finish his sentence.

"Did Master see everything?"

Meihua Shisan immediately used her Heavenly Watchful Eyes to transmit the scene to her Master Qingfeng, who was far away.

Qingfeng watched the images transmitted through Meihua Shisan's perspective with surprise.

"Get rid of him!"

"Retrieve the blade!"

Qingfeng directly gave Meihua Shisan the order.

"You're still alive!"

Qingfeng said slowly, sitting in his chair. 』

[ Meihua Shisan (Scissor Seven): "…" ]

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "This person, and his sorrow?" ]

[ Seven (Scissor Seven): "I don't know, I don't remember anything." ]

『 The scene shifted. Outside Dai Bo J Hair Salon, a sign reading "Surgery in Progress" was hung.

A group of people was anxiously waiting for the miracle doctor to successfully complete the surgery.

"Will Ah Qi turn into another person?" Dai Bo stroked Little Flying Chicken's head with a worried expression.

"For the safety of this island,"

"Let's get rid of him now!"

Hearing Dai Bo say this, Director Jiang, who was beside him, immediately pulled out a rocket launcher.

"But Ah Qi saved us!" Cola instantly became anxious upon hearing this.

"You have no idea how scary he was just now!" Director Jiang looked at Cola and explained.

Just then, the door of Dai Bo J Hair Salon opened.

Everyone looked towards the doorway in unison, only to see Seven standing there, his sharp gaze sweeping across the surroundings.

"Wow, what a great day today! So many people came for a haircut!"

"Who's first?"

Seven looked at the crowd surrounding him with a surprised expression.

Seeing Seven like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ah Qi!" Cola called out as soon as she saw Seven.

"He's awake!" Uncle Chen said with an excited face when he saw Seven.

Wang Feng also gave Seven a thumbs-up. Director Jiang put down her weapon when she saw that Seven was fine.

"Ah Qi!" Dai Bo said to Seven.

The scene changed.

"This pair of scissors of yours is too broken, it can't be fixed!"

Thor handed Meihua Shisan a pair of scissors.

"But I reforged an identical pair for you using Tianshan dark steel."

"How about we go for a couple of drinks later?"

Thor suggested to Meihua Shisan with a hint of shyness.

Meihua Shisan said nothing, simply throwing the scissors far away.

Seven took the new scissors.

"Let's go, Ah Qi!" Dai Bo called from behind Seven.

"Leave this mission to me."

Seven turned around and said with a smile to Dai Bo.』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Assassin Armor, what is that?" ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "And what does 'portable edition' mean? Does it mean it can be carried directly?" ]

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Assassin Armor, since it's armor, it should be heavy, so why is it called portable?" ]

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "Not necessarily, if it's made of special materials, even light ones can achieve a certain level of defense." ]

[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "Although that's true, with this thing, will he…" ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "This…" ]

[ Seven (Scissor Seven): "How strange, how do I use this briefcase?" ]

[ .....]

〜Scissors Seven World〜

Chicken Island—

Seven looked at the G4 Armor briefcase in his hand, lost in thought.

Is this really a standard assassin tool?

Then, following the instructions, he threw the item onto the ground.

And stepped on it forcefully.

The moment it sensed pressure, the unremarkable black briefcase quickly unfolded.

"Wow! So cool."

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "The Contract God's last contract?" ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Huh? Contract God? That sounds familiar." ]

[ Ganyu (Genshin Impact): "Lord Rex Lapis is also known as the First Contract God. Could it be that this time it's…" ]

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "But what does 'this last contract' mean?" ]

[ .....]

『 The live broadcast officially started, and the screen lit up.

A magnificent and grand building appeared, astonishing everyone.

Immediately after, three shimmering golden characters slowly emerged—

Jade-Capital Tower—

The scene shifted, and Lumine and Paimon playfully appeared, weaving through the dense crowd, trying to push their way to the very front.

"Wow! It's a sea of people, Traveler. Let's keep moving forward."

"We can't see anything from here."

Little Paimon flew happily above the heads of the crowd, her face beaming with uncontrollable joy. Clearly, such a lively occasion was her favorite.

Lumine followed closely behind. Seeing Paimon plunge into the crowd, she could only brace herself, squeezing through the surrounding people with a forced smile and following suit.

When they reunited, they had unknowingly reached the very front of the queue.

Before them, a wide altar opened up, adorned with a dazzling array of treasures.

On either side of the altar, two rows of maidens in cheongsams stood quietly, as if awaiting a command.

And in the center of these maidens, Ningguang, dressed in elegant attire, her hands gently folded over her abdomen, stood with a solemn expression, seemingly patiently awaiting a certain moment.

Time quietly slipped by. Finally, she elegantly raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun, gazing up at the sky, as if confirming a detail.

Once confirmed, she solemnly announced to all present:

"The auspicious moment has arrived."

Hearing the command, the maidens on either side of the altar obediently bowed their heads and slowly retreated to the sides, quietly awaiting further instructions.

At this moment, Ningguang, standing in the center of the altar, began to gather the elemental power within her after everything was ready.

Just then, four earthy-yellow gems quietly appeared around her, shining with light as they gently rotated around Ningguang.

In the blink of an eye, Ningguang waved her slender hand, pointing towards the censer on the altar.

As if understanding the command, the swirling gems immediately flew towards the censer.

The moment the gems embedded themselves in the censer, Ningguang stepped beside it, and the power within her erupted, driving the four gems on the censer.

Under Ningguang's guidance, the censer radiated dazzling beams of light, and then, a golden beam shot up into the sky.

This golden beam directly pierced the firmament, its immense power disturbing the airflow between heaven and earth.

The previously calm clouds, under the influence of this power, slowly twisted into a vortex.

In the center of the vortex, golden lightning soon faintly appeared, a sight that would utterly shock anyone who witnessed it.

However, amidst this astonishment, a hint of unease welled up in Ningguang, who was presiding over the ritual.

According to past years' patterns, Rex Lapis should have already descended and conveyed his divine will. But why, this year, had the celestial phenomena changed, yet Rex Lapis was still delayed?

As the host, she couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive.

Just at this moment, accompanied by this uneasy feeling, a sudden dramatic change occurred in the sky. 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Fu Xuan (Honkai: Star Rail) "What a solemn scene..." ]

[ Ningguang (Genshin Impact): "Hehe, this is the prelude to our Rex Lapis's descent." ]

[ Yanqing (Honkai: Star Rail) "I'm starting to look forward to it too." ]

[ Mai Sakurajima (Bunny Girl Senpai): "Looking forward to it." ]

[ .....]

『 Amidst everyone's gaze, a colossal figure, as if from beyond the heavens, suddenly crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

As the dust slowly settled, Ningguang, filled with shock, stepped forward to investigate.

Although she had somewhat anticipated it, she still found it hard to believe.

However, all doubts vanished the moment she approached the massive figure.

Amidst the whispers around, Ningguang stepped into the center of the venue, carefully examining the fallen figure.

This sudden move left Lumine and Paimon, who were among the front-row spectators, utterly incredulous.

Under their worried gazes, Ningguang completed her inspection, then abruptly turned and issued a stern command to the Millelith present:

"Rex Lapis has been assassinated, seal off the entire area!" 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ !!!!! ]

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "What, what is going on?!" ]

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "A god, assassinated?" ]

[ Tanya von Degurechaff (Youjo Senki) "Hahahahahahahaha!" ]

[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "Ah!? A god was assassinated?" ]

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "This is too terrifying, to be able to assassinate a god?" ]

[ Yanqing (Honkai: Star Rail) "A god from another world, assassinated?" ]

[ .....]

『 Upon the command, the Millelith soldiers, who had been on alert at the edge of the venue, did not hesitate for a moment, immediately taking swift and orderly action to tightly surround the entire area.

Witnessing this, Paimon looked bewildered, "What, what exactly is going on?"

As Paimon recalled the previous sentence, the surprise on her small face had not yet faded, "Just what that person said, the Geo Archon, could it be…"

Rex Lapis, one of the legendary original Archons, was the most ancient existence among the Seven Archons of Teyvat, second only to Barbatos.

He had stood for a thousand years, relying on his unparalleled martial prowess, and was revered as both the Geo Archon and the Martial God.

Yet today, such a renowned deity had fallen before everyone's eyes, like a star plummeting from the sky, a truly shocking sight.

Just as they were in shock, Paimon suddenly pointed into the distance and urgently said, "Look, so many Millelith are rushing this way! They seem to be checking for suspicious individuals near the crime scene."

"Oh no, won't we, being so close to the venue, also be considered suspicious?"

In fact, Lumine and Paimon had only pushed through the crowd to the front row specifically to get a clearer view of Rex Lapis.

Unexpectedly, this action had put them in the eye of the storm.

Everything was fine before,

But now, this front-row spot seemed to have become a hot potato, specifically attracting trouble.

Paimon was about to quietly warn Lumine, but in the blink of an eye, Lumine had vanished like magic, disappearing without a trace.

Only one figure remained, resolutely making a getaway not far away.

Everyone was still bewildered, not understanding why Lumine had suddenly run off. At this moment, Lumine's inner monologue appropriately played out, appearing before everyone.

"Oh no, they're probably old enemies. I absolutely cannot let myself fall into the hands of those guys' followers."

While escaping, the two sisters seemed to have inadvertently caught sight of a strange person in a corner of the venue, making peculiar gestures.

He was holding a bizarre-looking square box that actually lit up, looking quite authentic.

However, now was not the time to investigate this person,

After all, escaping was the priority! 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Amber (Genshin Impact): "Traveler, please be careful." ]

[ Lumine (Genshin Impact): "…" ]

[ Xianyun (Genshin Impact): "Hmph, mortals, daring to blame the spectators for assassinating the Archon. It seems Liyue Harbor is truly in decline." ]

[ Ningguang (Genshin Impact): "Please calm your anger, True Monarch. There must be a reason for this." ]

[ Xianyun (Genshin Impact): "If I didn't know this was a future event, I would definitely go to Liyue Harbor to suppress you all." ]

[ Shenhe (Genshin Impact): "As expected of Master." ]

[ .....]

『 Not long after, in a hidden corner, Lumine and Paimon successfully evaded the strict surveillance of the Millelith, curled up there, wary of the patrolling guards outside.

Paimon peeked out and saw the Millelith moving back and forth, feeling a bit worried.

"The soldiers outside are dense. Luckily, we listened to you and retreated quickly."

"Your identity is too sensitive. Although we are not assassins, we cannot expose ourselves here."

"But with so many soldiers patrolling everywhere, can the two of us really sneak out safely?"

The scene just now was too thrilling for them.

They were almost caught by the keen Millelith in the crowd.

During their escape, their figures did not escape the Millelith's eyes,

Immediately after, a large-scale search operation naturally began.

After some dodging and hiding, they barely managed to hide here.

But this was not a long-term solution. Lumine quietly observed the movements and distances of the guards outside, quickly calculating in her mind.

They had to leave immediately.

Having made up her mind, Lumine began to prepare for action.

She carefully observed her surroundings and cautiously moved towards the nearby stairs leading downwards.

Unexpectedly, a change quietly occurred at this moment.

Just as they were trying to leave silently,

Lumine's foot accidentally kicked a small stone.

This insignificant little thing made a clear sound in the silence.

The patrolling Millelith not far away turned their heads sharply at the sound,

And just happened to catch sight of the two figures trying to sneak away.

Having spotted their targets, the Millelith gave them no chance to breathe, immediately shouting to their companions nearby:

"They're over there! Quick, catch them!"

At these words, as if scenting prey, all the searching Millelith surged forward like a tide.

But Lumine was not one to sit idly by.

Since she was exposed, she had no qualms and immediately ran.

However, as she ran down the stairs, she was astonished to find that, at some point, a circle of Millelith had surrounded the bottom of the stairs.

In the blink of an eye, the pursuers from above closed in, and the blockade from below was even tighter.

Lumine was caught between a rock and a hard place, trapped at the turn of the stairs.

Behind her was a cold railing, and before her was an insurmountable wall.

The Millelith surrounding Lumine shouted sternly:

"See where you can run!" 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "What a pity." ]

[ Lumine (Genshin Impact): "We almost got away." ]

[ .....]

『 Lumine had no intention of getting involved, but in that instant, she had gripped her weapon.

Although there were many Millelith soldiers before her, the confidence in her heart burned like fire, and she believed she could make them retreat without suffering any harm herself.

Initially, having just arrived in a strange land, she didn't want to conflict with official personnel, only wishing to find her irresponsible brother.

However, the situation had now taken a sharp turn, seemingly beyond her control.

Just as Lumine gripped her medicine blade, poised to strike, a light voice came from behind:

"Miss, be careful not to move~."

As the voice fell, a handsome figure leaped gracefully from under the handrail, holding a bow and arrow, his movements swift and decisive, instantly resolving the crisis.

With the immediate threat handled, more Millelith soldiers surged forward from afar, their target directed at the group.

The man with deep-set eyes, seeing the unfavorable situation, turned and instructed Lumine and Paimon, who were still in place:

"This is no place to linger; follow me quickly." 』
