Chapter 61

Going or not?

This is not a problem.

Someone invited us, so we'll keep the appointment.

What's more, it's still an appointment in a public place like the Library.

Lin Ke was also curious about what mischief Mina. Hafuqieke would stir up this time.

But that was a noon matter; for now I won't bother with it.

He signaled Mo Li not to get distracted and to read calmly.

Lin Ke himself also pulled out his notes, pondering the possibility of 'double casting' and even 'multiple casting'.

This is the real business; everything else is just trivial.

Compared to the false innate witchcraft, achieving double casting or multiple casting is undoubtedly less difficult.

The former is a matter of having or not, a breakthrough from 0 to 1; the latter two are a matter of degree, growth from 1 to 100.

The difficulty lies in grasping the timing.

It must be precisely nested, neither too fast by a si nor too slow by a hu.

(1 si = 0.864 seconds, 1 hu = 0.0864 seconds)

Being slightly fast or slow cannot achieve double or multiple casting; it becomes parallel casting.

That is, one water shield nests another water shield to enhance defense, turning into two water shields appearing simultaneously, fighting side by side.

Lin Ke currently has two plans:

First, both water shield spells are cast in the form of false innate witchcraft;

Second, first construct the water shield spell model normally, then during casting simultaneously cast in the form of false innate witchcraft, linking the two water shield casts.

If the first plan can be realized, it is undoubtedly more convenient and efficient.

But the difficulty is great, and it is prone to mistakes.

The second plan is somewhat more troublesome, but easier to achieve.

Once practiced and familiar, there will be no inconvenience.

After thinking it over, Lin Ke decided to try the second plan first.

Right now is neither a good time nor a good place; Lin Ke can only suppress his thoughts and wait until evening to return to the dormitory to practice.

The morning classes ended smoothly.

Under many strange glances, Lin Ke and Mo Li had an uncomfortable lunch in the Cafeteria.

Along the way, while eating, the number of people staring at them on the road increased, and Mo Li had long stopped returning their glares.

Mainly, staring too much makes the eyes sore.

Seeing Lin Ke's act of ignoring them, Mo Li simply treated those people as air and paid no attention.

The parties involved in the public controversy can remain calm; how could she not?

Stay calm, stay calm!

Clang—clang……

Mo Li threw her tray onto the recycling stand, more violently than usual.

Plates and dishes leapt up, knives and forks flew everywhere.

Lin Ke tidied up the plates, dishes, knives and forks a bit, then also walked out of the Cafeteria.

Library.

Mina. Hafuqieke had been waiting in the hall for a while.

As soon as she saw Lin Ke and Mo Li approach, she gestured for them to go to the second-floor balcony.

There are seats there for resting and chatting.

"The rumors on those forums were not spread by me."

After the three sat down, Mina. Hafuqieke got straight to the point, immediately clarifying one matter, "including the part about Lifusi and Enlike."

She was anxious!

"And then?"

Lin Ke had a blank expression, not at all surprised.

"I'm worried you'll blame this on me, so I'm giving you a special explanation."

Mina. Hafuqieke continued speaking, her expression somewhat embarrassed.

This remark undoubtedly shows timidity.

It indicates her apprehension, even fear, of Lin Ke in her heart.

"Hmm."

Lin Ke nodded slightly, sparing his words, appearing aloof.

After all, it was Mina. Hafuqieke who issued the invitation.

The one anxiously explaining and trying to clear the relationship is Mina. Hafuqieke, not him Linke Grand.

The advantage is with me!

Seeing that Lin Ke was unresponsive to coaxing or pressure, Mina. Hafuqieke,

Mo Li. Kidman beside her had kept a stern face since they met, unwilling to say more than a word,

Knowing that if she didn't drop some bombshell this time, she would definitely fail to achieve her goal.

She bit her lip, a troubled look flashed across her face, she steeled herself, and said:

"Enlike did indeed ask me some things related to you, but I really didn't know he actually wanted to kill you."

"Is that so?"

Lin Ke's mouth curled with a hint of sarcasm, "Really, you don't know?"

A severely injured cripple, and a person you said was shouting for revenge during treatment—yet you claim you didn't know he actually wanted to kill?

Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?

Do you really not know, or do you know and are happy to see it happen?

Regardless of whether En Li Ke succeeds or not, you can eliminate a major threat, right?

Lin Ke muttered complaints incessantly, then kept applying pressure, hoping to squeeze out some oil.

"Alright, I know."

Mi Na Ha Fu Ke Ke had already braced herself for the showdown, so she admitted it, then went on to explain,

"But what does it matter? He threatened my life, what could I do? I could only get rid of him first, then inform you."

"Hmm."

Lin Ke nodded again, but offered no comment on those remarks.

There wasn't much to praise.

People's hearts are hidden; Lin Ke couldn't determine what Mi Na Ha Fu Ke Ke's intentions really were back then.

But the hostility he had sensed earlier was real.

"I don't expect your understanding."

Having spoken to this extent, Mi Na Ha Fu Ke Ke relaxed a bit, leaning back in her chair and speaking freely,

"I'll bring out some information about you all, especially about you Linke Grand, in exchange for our reconciliation."

"From now on, I will no longer target you."

"And you must not retaliate against me!"

"I have always loved peace."

Lin Ke shrugged his shoulders, started practicing the Supreme Ultimate, "I never contend with people, nor quarrel."

Whether it's enough remains to be seen; it depends on how substantial the information you reveal is.

Mi Na Ha Fu Ke Ke, having not secured a promise beforehand and not annoyed, went straight to spill the beans: "At first, the rumors about you on the forum were started by the president of the Newblood Mutual Aid Society, An Tuo Wan Xi Er Dun."

"What happened next?"

Lin Ke showed a bit of interest.

He was indeed interested.

"Later, another person fanned the flames, trying to twist your image and make you a public enemy."

Mi Na Ha Fu Ke Ke fell silent at that point.

Lin Ke knew what she was waiting for, so he stopped pressing her and simply said, "From now on, we'll go our separate ways; as long as you don't provoke me, I will never target you."

"One word, and it's settled?"

"One word, and it's settled!"

Hearing Lin Ke's words, the stone in Mi Na Ha Fu Ke Ke's heart finally fell to the ground.

She completely relaxed, no longer needing to force herself.

She didn't drag her feet, immediately dropping a bombshell:

"I've found out that someone named Ha Luo De An De Wu Si in your cohort has been inquiring about you lately and even bought a smart device on the black market that can anonymously contact others."

"According to reliable intel, the five people he anonymously contacted are exactly the five who made the rumors about you on the forum blow up."

"Moreover, he voluntarily asked to visit Li Fu Si on behalf of An Tuo Wan Xi Er Dun."

"Ha Luo De An De Wu Si?"

Lin Ke knew that name—he was the first 'brave soul' to eat crab.

"Thanks."

Lin Ke got the information he wanted, didn't want to linger, and got up to leave.

Before leaving, he gave his promise:

"Let bygones be bygones!"

Thanks for the reward from a reader's comment, thanks!
