Chapter 847: Chapter 847

Gu Qingqiu burst into laughter twice, then seriously suggested, "The most cost-effective strategy is to kill Che Zhengshuo to buy ourselves time to escape and then find a way to quickly defeat this girl group!"

"But there are two problems. First, will the other party keep their promise? Second, is Che Zhengshuo easy to kill? After all, I haven’t seen him go all out yet."

"This girl group will honor their promise, but in order to kill Che Zhengshuo, you’ll also suffer casualties. At least Hua Yue Yu, this kind of weakling, won’t survive!"

"Kim Myungjin will also be seriously injured!"

Upon hearing this comment, Lin Baici was somewhat surprised. Was Che Zhengshuo really that strong?

"Hey, hey, have you guys forgotten about Caiwen and this lady boss?"

Che Zhengshuo spoke up, "You can kill those two!"

Li Yintong suddenly saw the light, "We’ve all fallen into a mental trap. They didn’t say that the person we have to kill has to be a God Hunter!"

"Once you lay a hand on the lady boss, everyone but you and Xiong Da can forget about surviving!"

"Killing the Head People is indeed an option!"

Well, this is definitely a boss-level problem.

Lin Baici turned to glance at Han Suying who was panicking and shrank back with none of the big boss’s demeanor.

Gu Qingqiu had been paying attention to Lin Baici’s expressions all along. Seeing that he showed no signs of killing the lady boss and Caiwen, she began to ponder, did Lin Baici receive more information than her?

Hua Yue Yu raised her hand, "Could it be like in a video game where all five female entertainers need to be killed together for them to truly die?"

Li Yintong immediately dismissed the idea, "That’s too difficult to achieve. If even one of them runs away, you can’t do it!"

"It’s not about killing everyone, it’s about killing Jin Yinai!"

"They are quintuplets, but all their consciousnesses reside in the mind of Jin Yinai. The four sisters are split from her body. Jin Yinai is the main body; as long as you kill her, the other sisters will die!"

Lin Baici’s eyes lit up. She almost instinctively looked at Jin Yinai but restrained herself to avoid startling the target.

"Don’t be fooled though. The names they call out loud may not be correct!"

Lin Baici frowned. What did that mean?

Luckily, Lin Baici’s mind was quick to react.

Since they were quintuplets and looked exactly alike, everyone determined their seniority by how they addressed each other.

In reality, they could very well be calling out names at random.

For example, if the next time they met, the sisters called the current Jin Ermei ’Third Sister’, everyone would definitely think she was Jin Sanshun.

Even the current Jin Yinai might not actually be Jin Yinai!

Lin Baici suddenly thought of a key point. If killing Jin Yinai could wipe out the entire girl group, then the quintuplets would certainly know this secret. To avoid death, Jin Yinai would mostly not be alone.

Lin Baici recalled the process of the quintuplets’ sudden attack. The distance between Jin Yinai and Jin Ermei had always been very close.

"Exactly, Jin Ermei is the real main body!"

"Kill her, and you will clear this survival game on the island and succeed in your final battle."

"Little Linzi, did you think of something?"

Xia Hongyao noticed that Lin Baici suddenly fell silent and immediately got excited. She had immense confidence in Lin Baici’s intelligence.

Lin Baici shook her head, trying not to give away anything while also activating A Sip of A Hundred Flavors, planning to remember Jin Ermei’s scent to identify her.

But knowing who the main body is still makes it difficult to kill her!

They must find a way to separate them, or at least ensure only two people are together. Otherwise, it’s too difficult with other sisters providing support.

Jin Yinai looked at her wristwatch, and as soon as five minutes were up, she spoke immediately, "Time’s up. Have you decided?"

Everyone looked at Lin Baici, waiting for him to make a decision.

Caiwen pleaded with eyes full of desperation, not wanting to die.

Lin Baici took a deep breath. In reality, he was wracking his brains for a solution.

"So, who’s the unlucky one?"

Jin Ermei asked teasingly.

Lin Baici spoke up, but instead of naming anyone, he activated Mantra Buddha Resound and began chanting the Diamond Sutra.

Why so? Because a person should not rely on form; do not rely on sound, smell, taste, touch or any qualities. A person should rely on nothingness.

"If one sees me in form, if one seeks me in sound, they practice a deviant path and will not see the Tathagata."

"All phenomena are illusions; if one perceives all phenomena as non-phenomena, one will see the Tathagata."

Lin Baici’s eyes were slightly closed, hands joined in prayer, displaying sincere devotion. Coupled with the Bodhi Messenger’s Kasaya adorning his body, he possessed the aura of an enlightened monk.

The other girls knew Lin Baici recited scriptures beautifully, so they were not too surprised. Che Zhengshuo and Li Yintong, however, wore looks of utter confusion.

Why recite scriptures now?

But they quickly lost interest in this question and felt that the scripture was indeed powerful, as if it cleansed the dirt and mundanity shrouding their souls in an instant.

Their entire beings became translucent, clear, and as bright as mirrors!

Li Yintong, who had average grades, had mixed into society early, learning to smoke, drink, and club. After becoming a God Hunter, she wished she hadn’t been so indulgent during her school days!

If they had a choice, many girls would still prefer to be good women and find a good husband!

So Li Yintong felt regret and pain, thinking that had she become a God Hunter one day sooner, her life might have turned out better.

Now, under the influence of Mantra Buddha Resound, Li Yintong finally moved on, no longer dwelling on that matter and instead focusing on the future.

Li Yintong joined her palms together and bowed towards Lin Baici, "Master Lin, I have achieved enlightenment!"

Next to her, Che Zhengshuo was stunned.

What kind of Divine Grace was this?

Even he was affected.

Che Zhengshuo’s greatest desire was to go out and see the world, but now, listening to Lin Baici’s chanting, he felt that this obsession was no longer so urgent.

Xia Hongyao held a Dagger, watching the five sisters closely, guarding against them attacking Lin Baici, but the scripture’s effect was significant.

The High Ponytail’s fighting spirit was gradually waning.

The recitation was grand, solemn, and carried an essence that allowed people to see through the trivialities of the mortal world.

’It should be useful, right?’

Lin Baici remembered what the Eater God had said about the Busan Divine Ruins while they were eating barbecue by the roadside that day.

The citizens of Gwangju, contaminated by God’s radiation, were like NPCs; even if they died, they would resurrect with the arrival of the next train and start their lives anew.

But at the core, they were human, and just like the general populace, they toiled daily for their meals, to support their families.

Thinking of the Lady Boss, a BOSS herself, who worked hard to run a big restaurant, this girl group was no different, handing out flyers and performing on the streets to gain fans.

If even monsters could be influenced by Mantra Buddha Resound, then surely these girls, so human in nature, would be even more affected.

"Big sister, I’m so tired, I want to go back to the countryside!"

The fourth sister sighed deeply, tears welling up in her eyes.

With so many girl groups in Goryeo, it was incredibly difficult to stand out and rise to the top tier!

"I want to go back too, performing on the streets every day is so hard!"

Jin Sanshun turned to Jin Ermei, "How about becoming a housewife?"

"We’ve been in Gwangju for five years, eating half-price lunches, living in basements, entertaining with drinks and songs, enduring so much hardship, and yet achieving nothing. If we return home defeated, how will the villagers see us?"

Jin Yinai burst out cursing.

"Big sister, say something will you?"

The fourth sister complained to Jin Ermei; as the eldest, she needed to make a decision.

Gu Qingqiu’s brow furrowed upon hearing the fourth sister’s address.

Was it just a simple slip of the tongue?

She planned to observe further, but Lin Baici was already gesturing for them to leave.

Lin Baici urged them, thinking that if they didn’t escape while the five sisters were squabbling, when else would they?

"Go!" Updates are released by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

Che Zhengshuo reached for Gu Qingqiu’s arm.

Gu Qingqiu dodged and looked at Lin Baici, "I think there’s something off about that Jin Ermei!"

Jin Ying and Hua Yue Yu worried, seeing that Lin Baici showed no intention of leaving.

As the team leader, Xia Hong would certainly not abandon any member, insisting on being the last to leave.

"Hurry up and go, I can find a way to escape!"

Lin Baici pushed Xia Hong, not knowing how long the effects of the scripture would last. If it ended within a few minutes, they’d be in trouble.
